Under the control of Dingchang Sun Xu Guangzuo, and the late arrival of the director of the Ministry of Rites, who was responsible for the funerals of the clan members, the funeral of Xing'an Bo Xu Wei was naturally carried out smoothly, without the big fuss in the mourning hall.
A turmoil. Even so, the slight advantage Xu Yi managed to get back with the help of Xu Wei's posthumous letter was completely exhausted. He could only watch Xu Guangzuo methodically clean up the "tricky" villains in Xing'an Bo Mansion.
Of the people, nine out of ten of them were Aunt Dai's confidants, or they were in collusion with him.
Under this heavy pressure, and Xu Yi thought that he had opened up the door to Ma Wensheng, as soon as the first seven days were over, he impatiently wrote to the officials and requested to be granted the title of Earl of Xing'an in the name of his step-grandson.
. He specially found a scholar who was well-known for his literary talent and sent it a large article with brilliant writing. He immediately went to Ma's Mansion again. Although he did not see Mr. Ma again, he got the next one from Mr. Ma.
After the capable boy's sincere guarantee, he still felt it was not enough and submitted a letter to the Ministry of Etiquette. He even tried to bribe someone to send a memorial directly to Tianting through the right door. In addition to criticizing Xu Liang's past misdeeds, he
In addition, he had to admit that his son's identity was suspicious, and also sent a generous gift to Li Rong's godson.
Even if he had money, after all this trouble, he had already spent a full three thousand taels of silver, not to mention breaking his muscles and bones. In comparison, Xu Liang and Xu Xun were much quieter. The father and son except for the daily routine
He went to Xing'an Bo Mansion to participate in various funeral ceremonies. The rest of the day he followed the rules of mourning and stayed at home. Except for letters from the officials, he didn't go anywhere. Several guards sent by Fu Rong were detained at home.
There was quite a bit of criticism, but after he rewarded him generously once, everyone became more honest.
On this day, the father and son were sorting things in the west room. In the east room, Mu Huai'en, who was sorting out the books on the shelf, saw Jing Bu Le walking in. He looked at no one else and joked with a smile: "This master's house is closed.
Come on, Eunuch Jing feels that he is too busy to be idle?"
"It's not that we are panicking. After all, our family is under the banner of being sent by Eunuch Fu to deliver gifts, and we can still go out for a walk. We just feel that Eunuch Fu has sent the wrong person this time. Xu Xun, at such a young age, actually
He is more mature than a man in his forties, he has become a spirit." Xiao Jing and Li Rong were given gifts by Xu Xun personally, but Chen Kuan, Wang Yue and other eunuchs in charge were sent by Jing Bu Le
Yes, naturally I heard the evaluation of Xu Xun by the chief ministers of rites. His little eyes narrowed, and the wrinkle at the corner of his mouth actually trembled slightly. "He stops quietly here, compared to jumping up and down over there."
, that is simply too strong. Fortunately, Xu Liang has his son to help him, otherwise he would have been disgusted to death by disgusting people."
"I didn't expect that Eunuch Jing, who is rarely convincing, would judge Mr. Xu like this." Mu Huaien smiled and wiped the last bookshelf, then put down the rag and turned around and said, "Then Eunuch Jing, how big a hope do you think this time?
"
"Although he has done a good job, the direction of the wind has not been good recently." The eunuchs who move around Jingbule are all well-informed eunuchs, but he is not Xu Xun's personal, and he will not know everything if they don't ask.
After finishing his words, he frowned and said, "The three old gentlemen in the cabinet didn't hum or laugh, as if they didn't care about such a trivial matter. Among the six ministers, Ma Wensheng advocated that Liu should be inherited by direct concubines, and that Xu Yi should be inherited.
The boss has not expressed his position yet. As for the emperor, even if he is biased, he has not refuted the results of the ministry's deliberations in these years. Alas, the prince has nothing to do after all..."
"Master, Master, Master Zhu Xiaohou has sent someone!"
Before they finished speaking, the two of them heard a loud shout from outside. This time, Master Zhu Xiaohou, the two looked at each other for a while. Mu Huaien immediately put down the work he had not finished and quickly stepped forward.
Pushing open the window, he saw a person walking in quickly in the yard. He nuzzled at Jing Bu Le who was standing aside. Jing Bu Le looked at it carefully for a moment, and his eyes immediately lit up: "It's from the Prince's East Palace.
Although Zhang Yong only served as an imperial minister, he was said to be very favored."
The two of them saw Xu Xun coming out in person to welcome Zhang Yong in, and then they simply stood in front of the window and started discussing in a low voice. After a while, they saw Xu Xun and Zhang Yong coming out together again and actually sent the person out.
Just as they were wondering what news the prince had asked Zhang Yong to bring along for his special trip, Tao Hong's voice came from outside.
"Eunuch Jing, are Eunuch Ying here? The young master invites you to come."
"Eunuch Jing will not be idle now." Mu Huai'en smiled and pointed at Jing BuLe with empty hands. When he saw the man nodded to him, he immediately opened the door and went out. He shrugged slightly.
With a smile, he took the dust and dusted it everywhere, but murmured to himself, "Eunuch Fu retired bravely and enjoyed a happy life, but you are different. If you have the opportunity to find a seat in the palace again, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask for it, otherwise the palace
Why do you need to know so clearly about the personnel in Zhongchaotang? Eunuch Fu knew it very well, so he sent you out."
Better than patience, Xu Xun was able to hibernate for ten years in his previous life. Now he is stuck at home and cannot move around. It is not a big deal to him. The only worry is that the little girl only has Li Qingniang to pass letters to and from both sides, but she did not go there.
Sneak out and meet people.
Therefore, he naturally would not take the message sent by Zhang Yong lightly. When Jing Bu Le came, he sat down after meeting with the servant and said bluntly: "Eunuch Jing, just now Eunuch Zhang
The visitor said that someone had tipped him off that the son of Ma Wensheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had received money from Xu Yili, thus making his father Xu Yiyan. Do you think this is really possible?"
Whistleblower?
Jingbu Le originally thought that when Zhang Yong came today, it must be that the prince Zhu Houzhao had something to tell Xu Xun, but unexpectedly the truth was even more shocking. He almost just summed it up in his mind and asked: "Does the prince know?"
"Eunuch Zhang was feeling troubled, so he came to me to remind him. I told Eunuch Zhang that there is no need to mention such hearsay in front of the prince." Xu Xun paused, and then said sincerely, "Ma Shangshu is a man of mine.
I don't know whether the informant has good intentions or bad intentions, so I asked Eunuch Jing to teach me."
Xu Xun met the prince by chance and was summoned by the emperor because of it. Even if he lost the title this time, he was determined to have another chance. Therefore, Jing Bu Le made up his mind to make plans for this man who had many plans for his own future.
.But faced with Xu Xun's humble attitude, he still appreciated it and the smile on his face became more friendly.
"I don't think it's appropriate to teach. I can only say one or two things about Mr. Xu. The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments. The situation is quite complicated. Now Ma Shangshu is nearly eighty years old. He has repeatedly asked for official appointments but was not approved, which naturally hinders others."
road……"
After finishing his lengthy analysis, Xu Xun nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that his seemingly unimportant little matter had become a stage for big bosses to compete. In this case, he still took the previous
The purpose is to be static and to cope with the ever-changing situation! So why bother treating it like a gun?
…………………………………………
The imperial court has always had rules on how to inherit the title when an honorable minister has no heirs. If the person had a bad reputation during his lifetime, or if the emperor had a problem in his heart, then the title will probably end here; except for
Most of the others wait until the funeral is done, and then slowly visit their immediate relatives. It is not surprising for a title to be vacant for three to five years, it is common for a title to be vacant for more than ten years, and it is common for it to be vacant for decades or even hundreds of years... Jun
Tang He, the Duke of Xin State, even escaped the Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu cases unharmed, but it was because of Tang He's death that all the disciples fought to attack him. It was clear that there were countless descendants, but the title of Duke of Xin State was not mentioned anymore?
Therefore, hereditary titles have always had the custom of being anxious at the bottom and not at the top. Especially the officials who are firmly seated in Diaoyutai will find faults in the heirs even if they have nothing to do, let alone when there is something wrong. However, this time it is just the opposite.
While Xu Yi was jumping up and down with all his strength, Xu Liang and his son were observing mourning behind closed doors at home, as if they had forgotten about it. After Ma Wensheng, the old minister of the Ministry of official affairs, came to the table once, Jiao Fang, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, also sat down.
Can't stand it any longer.
He has quietly sent a message to the eunuchs in the East Palace. How come there is still no news at all? Does the Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao really not care about this lawsuit? Or does the Xu family and his son really not care?
Jiao Fang had put a lot of effort into this matter, and naturally he was not willing to wait for three to five years. After waiting for three or four days without any news, he finally broke the bank and sent a eloquent and thousands-word excerpt directly, saying bluntly
It is said that now that Xing'an Bo has suddenly passed away, there are a lot of rumors in the streets and alleys, and the successor should be decided as soon as possible to calm the people's hearts.
When the fold was sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, both Xiao Jing and Li Rong couldn't help but have their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts. They immediately brought it up when reporting to the emperor, so Emperor Hongzhi nodded. When the fold was sent to the cabinet for voting, the Secretary of Li
Sun Bin, the writing supervisor, had no choice but to smile and cup his hands at the three pavilion elders.
"Long live the Lord said that it is not good for this matter to be delayed for a long time. It is better to ask the officials to summon two groups of people to discuss and discuss it. If there is a result, it will also save the people from talking about it. Long live the Lord also said that if the three gentlemen are free,
You might as well go and listen."
When Sun Bin said this, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian couldn't help but look at each other. They are the elders of the cabinet who have a lot of things to do. They are worried that twelve hours a day are not enough to sit in on such a boring lawsuit. Are they full? However,
, what was even more unexpected was that Sun Bin said something even more shocking right after.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that he would like to take a look at the excitement. The three gentlemen are also the Crown Prince's East Palace officers and are well-known masters. They will accompany the Crown Prince on a trip so that the Crown Prince can understand the world."
Can you understand the world by watching this kind of lawsuit? Isn’t this a joke?
The impulsive Liu Jian wanted to stand up and speak, but as soon as he pressed his hand on the armrest, Li Dongyang pushed him down. Liu Jian hesitated for a long time, and when he saw Sun Bin bowing his head and tying his hands in an unusually respectful manner, he finally said in a deep voice:
"You go back and report to Eunuch Xiao and Eunuch Li, please report to the emperor, and say that the three of us will comply with the order."
As soon as Sun Bin left, Li Dongyang nodded slightly to Xie Qian who was frowning at the side and said: "Muzhai, it's just a break from the busy schedule, so why not take a trip? The prince has not been to the Wenhua Hall for a long time to listen to a lecture. This is a rare opportunity."
