Li Dongyang came to see Xu Xun today, originally trying to see if what Xu Xun said was true, but now facing such a person who pretended to be stupid and open-minded, he only felt that if he stayed here and listened to the slap, he would be full and full. Therefore, after sitting for a while, he stood up and said goodbye to the cabinet for some time, and left. Xu Xun just symbolically sent him to the door of the study and stopped.

Watching Li Dongyang disappear in his sight, Xu Xun asked without looking back: "Sui'an, what did Lord Yuanfu say to you? But crying that Zhang Xilu has no one to control, let you know the deep responsibility on your shoulders, unite the power of the vast number of colleagues, share the same hatred of the enemy, and suppress Zhang Xilu's arrogance?"

Xia Yan had only seen Xu Xun Zhizhu holding her, but she had never seen him in such a casual and casual manner. She was shocked for a moment. After a moment of stunned silence, he knew that it was not appropriate to keep it at this moment, and hurriedly surrendered. When the disciples of the closed door left, Yang Yiqing looked at Xu Ning who was resting on Xu Xun's shoulders, and his black eyes were looking at him curiously. He was helpless for a moment, and then he responded: "That's right, and I tell him, I really can't believe that the Marquis would let Zhang Cai surrender to Liu Jin, and now he has made him his own."

"Oh, it turns out that Sui'an thought so too." Xu Xun turned around slowly, but gently grabbed his daughter in the ass of her hair and slapped her daughter on the ass. Then he said slowly, "Zhang Xilu is not an ordinary person. He has a gully in his heart. He can't stand the position of corrupt and incompetent people in the court and has no survival of the fittest. Liu Jin's radical style fell into his eyes. Since he had a disagreement with me, Liu Jin recruited him again, and he leaned over with his plan to do things. It's nothing wrong. You must know that during those days he followed Liu Jin, he had never spoken a word about me, and I can't be so useless. What's more, if you make a fuss, I also appreciate his drastic temperament and means."

In other words, Xu Xun actually agrees with Zhang Cai’s political views?

Yang Yiqing's heart moved. He immediately asked, "The Marquis stayed behind to thank the guests these days, and then released a rumor to say that he was exhausted and wanted to take care of himself. I don't know what it was..."

"Do you think I'm pretending?" Xu Xun smiled and showed his snow-white teeth, and pinched Xu Ning's fat pink cheeks lovingly. Then he said with a smile, "Those outsiders who only know how to speculate, I will say. How can I know the joy of fish if I am not a fish? But since I am going to you, I might as well tell the truth. Liu Jin is dead, but Zhang Xilu has integrated his men's hands, without the disadvantages of Liu Jin but with the advantages of Liu Jin. Since you have returned to the court, just rely on your reputation and behave naturally. Naturally, the same number of people will surrender to you. As for me... I have been tired for several years, take a break and have a break. Is this human nature?"

At this moment, if he could no longer understand what Xu Xun meant, Yang Yiqing would have been a talented person for many years. He is not as clear as the four gentlemen of Nandu who are determined to seek the right path. He is not only familiar with some of his skills, but also proficient in them. So he took a deep breath and then said, "It is not surprising that the old man is an elderly man, but the Marquis is only in his early twenties now, isn't it too early?"

"Who said I retreated bravely? When I really want to roll my sleeves, I will naturally be bound to charge, but then I may be the most dangerous time."

Xu Xun yawned lazily, then said with a smile: "In addition, the good teacher Sui'an Gong learned that although you and Li Xiya have a close relationship, because you and me have some friendship, when Li Xiya was thinking about his successor, he thought of Yang Shizhai instead of you. But first, Yang Shizhai was always a little hostile to me, and second, he was always in the capital. He had never experienced external hardships, so I naturally pushed you with all my strength. He said that these are not to beware of Li Xiya and so on. I just want to say that most of these cabinet masters have been promoted from Beijing officials. I just hope that you have been in the northwest area like Shaanxi for many years, have seen more people's livelihood, have experienced more wars, and have less power and skills!"

When Yang Yiqing left the Xing'an Marquis Mansion, it was already evening, and the smoke from every household was curling, just like the family was happy. Thinking of Xu Ning calling him Uncle Yang in a confused manner under Xu Xun's coaxing, and Xu Xun looked very happy, a little sadness suddenly appeared on his face.

He has been in office for many years, and in the near future, he may even reach the top of the chief minister and become the highest peak of civil servants. However, there is no descendant of a legitimate relative behind him, which will always be the eternal pain in his heart. Those who are ridiculed and have no need to gossip about the face, and have never been confused in his heart? But in the years he has been in Shaanxi for the longest days, so that the couple often separates. Now that his old wife is old, he doesn't want to take a concubine, how can he give birth to a son? Xu Xun was young and knew that he would stay some time to spend more time with his wife and children at home, but others are still suspicious. How many people in the Ming Dynasty had no descendants, and how many children died young in their young age, so that the white-haired people gave birth to black-haired people? Among them, there was Li Dongyang...

Late at night, Zhang Cai returned to his mansion. From the Langguan of the Ministry of Personnel to the head of the Sixth Ministry, he had experienced much shorter time than others, but he was at ease. He walked in without even lit his head, and when he got off the sedan chair, he glanced at the carriages and horses in the alleys, and the various people who nodded and bowed in the doorman. He didn't even lit his head, but walked in with his hands behind his back. When he sat down in the study, he heard the old butler report the various people who were asking for a meeting today, as well as the various prayers he picked out. He hurriedly browsed it and put them all down.

"You go out and say, I don't have time to meet foreign guests today and ask them all to go back."

Every day, Zhang Cai only saw one or two people, and they were all the people he paid attention to in the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel, but outsiders did not know that, and they were still waiting outside day by day. Although the old housekeeper knew it well, he naturally would not point it out and immediately agreed to leave. Until there were no outsiders in the house, Zhang Cai took out a stack of letters that had never been Kaifeng from another box on the table. Some of these were the talents he selected during the selection, and some were his fellow villagers of the same year, with only a dozen people in total. Compared with the figures of the Liu Party he accepted, these were his real backbone. The only regret was that the Beijing officials who had not passed the fourth rank of the hurdle, and the outside officials who passed the fourth rank were the prefect and the governor, and it would take a lot of effort to transfer back to the capital.

After reading three or five seals, he pressed his nose and closed his eyes to rest for a while. He took another seal and saw the seal, but he was stunned immediately. The familiar handwriting was not the content that was vague and unclear, and needed not to use a mechanism to understand it. Instead, it directly wrote about time and place. If someone invited him, he would naturally think about it again and again, but at this moment he made a decision.

On the first day of June the next day, when Yang Yiqing came to the pavilion early in the morning, the Dongyue Temple, two miles outside Chaoyang Gate, was the time for pilgrims to gather. In addition to the devout believers who worshipped, many young wives were holding the copper coins in their hands and throwing huge money in front of the Dongyue Emperor Concubine. Everyone in the middle of the scene cheered and smiled happily. Facing this scene, Zhang Cai, who was wearing casual clothes, looked at the Taoist priest who was confusing the women next to the money, and couldn't help but laugh.

"A sub-conspiracy for money!"

"Xilu is still so cynical."

Hearing the sound from behind, Zhang Cai quickly turned around and saw that Xu Xun was also alone. He nodded slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xu Xun waved his fingers slightly and pointed in a direction. He immediately followed quietly. In this place where dragons and snakes were mixed, Xu Xun was obviously very familiar with the terrain and turned around in front of him. After a while, he took him to a secluded yard. He saw a lush locust tree in the center of the yard, with stone tables and benches at the bottom, and tea sets on the top. There was also a pot of water burning on the copper breeze stove next to him, which looked extremely elegant.

"Sit down, I have arranged people outside and I will probably leak it out. After this time, there should be no chance of such an interview."

Although Zhang Cai had guessed Xu Xun's plan after Qian Ning's failure, he couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise when he heard this clear and clear statement. Thinking that when he was determined to defame himself and surrender to Liu Jin, he had already planned to have a very likely future no more. Now this situation has never been thought of, he couldn't help but say, "I just want to ask one thing, whether the marquis of the assassination of King Ning, is it the marquis..."

"What do you think?"

Although Xu Xun just asked back, Zhang Cai still felt deeply convinced. Liu Jin was such a person who cherished his life. If he hadn't known that he had no hope, how could he have sacrificed so much? I thought that it was because of this that Liu Jin could have almost saved his reputation and family after the Ning King Rebellion, and he could have accepted his followers with justification. Seeing Xu Xun's tea one by one, he asked again: "But because I surrendered to Liu Jin, the marquis had just made this bad decision, allowing Liu Jin to keep his reputation and family?"

"Half and half. It's a coincidence. It's a coincidence. After all, I've been with Liu Jin for many years. I know this person very well. It's all the past. I don't need to mention it now. I'm here to see you in Xilu today, just because there are a few things I want to tell you." Xu Xun paused, and then slowly spoke, "Your ambition and talent, I know that with your age, it's not a problem to be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for 10 or 20 years. Yang Sui'an is also young and strong, but you two can control each other and complement each other. As long as the emperor trusts, the longer this pattern can last, the deeper the government orders you hope to implement."

Since Zhang Cai understood that Xu Xun had previously saved Liu Jinlingming and allowed him to accept most of his political heritage, how could he not understand what Yang Yiqing could understand? However, the next moment, when he thought of the recent rumors about Xu Xun, he couldn't help but take a breath.

"Could the Marquis really be ready to withdraw?"

"Yang Sui'an asked this, and you asked this too. Don't worry, I'm just resting for a while, and I'm not living in seclusion in the mountains and forests as a leisurely wild crane from now on, so don't be so nervous!" At this point, Xu Xun signaled Zhang Cai to get a cup of tea that had been divided, and then said with a smile, "The infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak. Since I have already climbed up, it's better to build a house on the dangerous peak than to find another way, don't you think?"
