Chapter Four Articles Conference

Xu Ying was stunned and rolled her eyes at him: "Yuanmei, what do you mean? Guo Duke is very close to us. The Baishou letter he sent today was written by his own handwriting. You didn't see it,"

Wang Shizhen glanced at Xu Jie with a gloomy face and lowered her head and said, "It is this word that shows that his heart is no longer with me. It can even be said that he is standing opposite us."

Xu Jie's eyebrows were worried and signaled him to continue talking.

Wang Shizhen said: "En Xiang, I still remember that in his copybook, there are eight medium-sized characters for longevity on both sides of the characters "Slim Gold" formed a couplet. The strokes used are different. The right side goes from top to bottom, and the styles are used in sequence are Xu Hao, Huaisu, Cai Jing and Zhiyong. The four characters on the left are: Lu Ji, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and Huang Tingjian,"

Zou Yinglong suddenly realized, and his face immediately changed color.

Xu Ying said: "These are all famous calligraphers, and each one takes one, what's wrong with it?"

Xu Kun waved his hand and slapped him on the head, cursing: "You are just foolish, you are ignorant. The right couplet is a hidden word, which says 'Xu Huai Cai Zhi'. Cai Jing is a traitor in the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhi and Zhi are also a double-choice. Isn't this obviously accusing my father of having the same deceitful intention as the traitor Cai Jing?"

Xu Ying suddenly realized, and just gritted her teeth and felt something was wrong. She covered her head and said, "If it is a couplet, the left and right should always be in a match, but the hidden head on the left is 'Lu Yan Liu Huang'. Who is Lu? What does the face surnamed Lu mean by being as yellow as will the willow leaves mean? It doesn't mean it is a sentence at all. From this point of view, will it be just a coincidence on the right?"

After saying this, he found that his father Xu Jie, eldest brother Xu Fan, second brother Xu Kun, Zou Yinglong, and Wang Shizhen looked at him silently. He couldn't help but be stunned. He wrinkled his head and asked timidly: "What, I'm wrong,"

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped by his second brother on the head. Xu Kun cursed: "You pig's head, you hide your head in the first couplet, and the lower couplet must hide your head. You are not allowed to be snatched, you are not allowed to be snatched, you are not allowed to be snatched, you are not allowed to be snatched..." He said a word and slapped his head, and suddenly thought of his father watching, and then he stopped.

Xu Ying burst into tears in pain. She rubbed her head with her hands and slowly straightened her waist, muttering: "Aowei, Aowei...Lu Ji, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan..." Suddenly, her eyes were straightened: "The word "The second couplet is "Jiqing Quanjian", so that wouldn't it be a scolding father for being a traitor?"

The room was already silent, no one responded to his words, and everyone had a layer of gloom on their faces. Everyone knew in their hearts what it meant to stand on the other side of the Dongchang.

Wang Shizhen lowered his head and said, "Gei Master, in my opinion, Guo Duke Guo actually doesn't want to be an enemy of us yet. The big character in the middle of his longevity character is 'skinny gold'. Thin ones are used as a metaphor for withdrawing troops. It seems to be an attempt to persuade you to retreat bravely. The dozens of small longevity characters below use different styles, going from left to right, and moving from different sizes. The meaning is also to imply: If you don't stop the mountain, you are afraid that your longevity will not be harmonious," he said.

Xu Ying frowned, as if she wanted to say something, rubbed her head but held it back. The boss Xu Fan said, "Yuanmei, is it a bit far-fetched to understand it like this?"

Zou Yinglong thought for a moment, followed the words and said, "Otherwise," facing Xu Jie: "The kindness, Yuanmei's words are reasonable, because the eight characters on both sides also have this meaning. The first character in "Xu Huai Cai Zhi" is Xu Hao. This person was named Kuaiji County Duke during the reign of Emperor Daizong. Later, he was appointed as the Minister of Personnel. During the reign of Emperor Dezong, he was awarded the title of King Peng Fu and the Duke of the County. He died at the age of 80 and was awarded the title of Prince Taishi. He can be said to have a good end. His tail name is Zhi, and he is Zhiyong. Zhiyong is the seventh generation grandson of the King's Right Army. He is a famous family, but he is willing to be indifferent and hide in the empty sect.

The two of them formed the first and last couplets, which obviously meant to persuade you to start and end well and return to Linquan. The first character in the second couplet of "Jiqing Quanjian" is Lu Ji. This person has been a member of the inner history of the plains, but died in the "Eight Kings Rebellion". He was a tribe of the three tribes of the Yi. The last character is Huang Tingjian. This person has served as a professor of the Imperial College, a proofreader, a writer, and a secretary. He was once honored, but later he was repeatedly demoted and died in Yizhou. The first couplet obviously implies the benefits of retreating after success. The second couplet shows the result of the destruction of the officialdom, and its meaning is consistent with the interpretation of Yuan and the United States."

After hearing this, Xu Jie was speechless for a long time, he opened his hand and asked his two sons to help him up. He walked slowly with his robe and walked slowly, and circled around the house. Zou Yinglong and Wang Shizhen's eyes turned with his steps, waiting quietly for a response.

As Xu Jie moved, he suddenly felt itchy on his face by a strand of hair. When he looked around, the evening breeze outside the window was gentle, the shade of flowers under the courtyard was shaking, and the moonlight on the clouds melted silver.

I have lived in this yard for more than ten years.

The scene in front of me has not changed in any way compared to the past.

Flowers are similar every year, and people are different every year. This common couplet that even children in the market can blurt out is so lonely.

When the second son saw his father's old face squeezing wrinkles and shadows, he didn't dare to make a sound for a while.

Xu Jie stared at the window for a long time, and said slowly with a hoarse voice: "The clouds are broken a few times, and the moon is pouring down. A climb is not a mountain. Time is shining, and the cocoons of youth are thin, and I don't realize it is darkened by the passing years..." When he chanted here, his eyelids closed, and a sticky tear saliva appeared at the corners of his eyes, his body tilted, and he piled backwards.

Xu Fan, Xu Kun hurriedly supported: "Dad," "Dad,"

News kept coming to the Sword Alliance General Assembly. Chang Sihao heard the newspaper that Xu Jie fainted twice and was overjoyed. He returned to the Hou Mansion and told him about the birthday of the birthday. Xu Wei laughed in silence: "I don't want this little Guo Gonggong to be a little clever and can also play riddles." Seeing that everyone was not sure about his intention, he explained the true meaning and the beginning and end of the birthday copybook "Xu Huai Cai Zhi, Ji Qing Quan Ren Zhi" in the birthday copybook. Gu Siyi knew the power of the East Factory and smiled and said with a smile: "Since Guo Gonggong is not standing on the side of Master Xu Ge, the matter will be much easier," Liang Bolong said: "It's great, but the meaning in this copybook is so deep that others can understand it."

Xu Wei said: "You have turned everyone down. Even if all officials are not smart, they have been in the officialdom for a long time. According to common sense, they should have stayed in the Xu Mansion in order to flatter them, but in fact, most of them dispersed on the spot, which obviously means they have smelled the signs," Chang Sihao said: "Although this is the case, this copybook indicates the direction of the East Factory, which is crucial. We should send more people to spread it widely and expand the influence." Liang Bolong also said: "How wrong, let's send people to visit many places overnight and point out the matter." The two of them planned excitedly. After talking for a long time, they found that Xu Wei was not moving at all. Liang Bolong came back and asked, "Sir, you have other ideas,"

Xu Wei said: "Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away, and you can leave them to the clown to do it. What's the rush?" Seeing everyone standing there, they obviously didn't understand for a moment, they added: "Think about it, if you put the eight words into a note and throw them into the yard of the censor Zhang Qi, what would happen?" Chang Sihao and Liang Bolong looked at each other, and they would smile in their hearts and immediately went out to do it.

When he came back, Xu Wei was still sitting there, holding his eyes, squinting his squinting, and his right thumb was eating. Wuming rubbed his three fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chang Sihao: "Sir, do you have any worries?"

Xu Weichi was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "It's nothing,... I heard that Guo Shuronghua was good at writing styles of various schools, and his own Aojin style was unique in the present. How was his writing of this Baishou post? I want to see,"

Chang Sihao laughed and said, "I don't understand calligraphy, but I heard that Chen Ge Lao said that Lu Ji's calligraphy was light and silly. Huaisu was crazy about Buddhism, and Zhiyong was a Buddhist obsessed person. It's not worth discussing. Others may only be proficient in and practice more, or use strange and dangerous things, but they are not at the level. I think it may not be very good to copy it from Guo Shuronghua. Everyone is just trying to make fun of each other and cheer each other up to make Xu Jie happy."

"Chen Yiqin...hum," Xu Wei snorted coldly: "What do you know about an old official gangster?"

Although Chen Yiqin is cold and stubborn, Chang Sihao has a good impression of him. He felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Xu Wei's words, but he couldn't say anything.

When he returned to his room, he thought that the clear attitude of Dongchang would bring great changes to the situation. He was excited for a long time, but after thinking about it, he felt a little uncomfortable when he recalled the words of Zen Master Liucheng. The next morning, he came to Xu Wei and asked: "Sir, you said that the mystery of the longevity title is to persuade him to stop him. According to your opinion, Xu Jie will follow it."

Xu Wei said: "It is easy to catch things in the world and difficult to let go. Moreover, power is the number one temptation in the world. Although this old Hui was hit by a series of blows, it is really hard to say whether he can let go in the end. However, Guo Shuronghua obviously saw through my plan, and helped him to get a proper position." As he said that, he covered his mouth with empty fists, coughed twice, and gave Chang Sihao a meaningful glance: "The Marquis must understand this kind of favor with sincerity."

His tone was sour and strange, and it was sarcastic and ridiculed. Chang Sihao was quite uncomfortable when he heard it. Liang Bolong and Gu Siyi were laughing at each other, complaining that Xu Wei was a little outrageous in his fight. Suddenly, his family came to report: "There was news from the palace," Chang Sihao hurriedly summoned him, and the messenger said: "This morning, the censor Zhang Qi suddenly broke into the palace to hand over the book. Eunuch Feng had just handed it over to the emperor, and sent a villain to inform the marquis to know,"

Chang Sihao rewarded him with ten taels of silver and asked Xu Wei: "Sir, according to your opinion, what is Zhang Qi doing?"

Xu Wei's eyes were filled with bags: "This dog must be because he saw that the situation in the Xu family was not good. He wanted to learn from Zou Yinglong when he was rebellious. He was the first to eat crabs and sued Xu Jie. He was already desperate. After this lawsuit, he became a success and sold our good deeds. If he failed, he would have a broken gong. Even if he was demoted and dismissed, he would have gained a good reputation in front of the people of the world. Xu Jie was in his twilight years. As soon as he died, it would be common for the emperor to recall his old ministers and reuse them again."

Speaking of this, someone came to report: "The news came from General Manager Liu." He summoned him and replied that the emperor was reading Zhang Qi's chapter, saying that it included more than 20 serious crimes such as Xu Jie's formation of cliques for personal gain, delaying military opportunities, and colluding with Yan Song. Liu Jinwu was accompanying the emperor, but he failed to move lightly. He specially sent out news to inform the marquis to prepare.

After the reward, the person who came back was sent back, Chang Sihao said, "It was indeed not as expected by the sir."

Xu Wei sneered: "Xu Jie's old man was in trouble and Yan Song in the past, and finally brought him down and took over the position of chief minister. Zhang Qi, the dog, didn't know how to die. He actually used this matter to tell the emperor how to deal with it. Isn't it equivalent to saying that his father Jiajing eliminated one traitor and another traitor, and was a foolish and incompetent person," he said.

Gu Siyi was worried: "That's what he said, he will definitely lose. We have had contact with Zhang Qi before, so will we be involved?" Liang Bolong comforted: "It's safe. I followed the Marquis' orders and did not reveal my words when I talked to him. The note I threw last night was also written by the servants, and I didn't climb to our heads."

Chang Sihao was still worried: "Sir, Zhang Qi was too greedy for merit. If he was defeated, he would become a warning to the monkey. Who would dare to make ground on Xu Jie's head next? This situation is really unfavorable to us,"

Xu Wei smiled: "This old Hui is exhausted now, what else can he do?" Shake his sleeves and put his hand on: "Get paper and pen,"

The Xu family was still dignified under the sun, but the maids bowed their heads, and the servants were heavy in their steps, and they were filled with a depressed atmosphere.

Xu Jie woke up deeply and found that the light around him was weak, the curtain tent was hanging down, and his head was tied with a medicinal belt to wake up his head, which was tilted on the bed, and the wings of his nose were covered with the smell of medicinal smell.

Zou Yinglong, Wang Shizhen and the three sons of the Xu family were all staying by the side of the bed. Seeing that he was in good spirits when he woke up, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Someone opened the curtains and shone in the morning light, and the fragrance of flowers came in with the wind. Before he could go deeper, he was covered by the fragrance of medicine.

Xu Ying took someone to make a bowl of eight treasures, Qingxin Lotus Seed Porridge, and stood by the bed, held a jade spoon in person, and fed his father.

Xu Jie took a few sips, waved his hand, and closed his eyelids again.

Zou Yinglong heard the doctor say that the old master was too worried and urgently needed to take care of his spirits. He approached the Xu brothers and signaled everyone to retreat so that Xu Jie could rest. Suddenly, the butler ran in in panic and said, "Young Master, something is not good..." Several people frowned at the same time. Xu Ying rushed up without waiting for the butler to finish speaking, kicking the butler's lower abdomen, kicking him back a few steps, and his heel stuck to the threshold, almost falling out.

Xu Jie said in a deep voice on the couch: "What's the matter?"

Xu Ying said, "Dad, don't worry, rest, this ignorant dog..." Xu Jie said "Yeah," and said, "I'm not confused yet. At this time, don't hide anything from me." These words were said harshly, and seemed very energetic. Xu Ying replied "Yes", and pulled the butler with cramps on his hands and his face was full of cramps on his face. He gave a secret wink. The butler grinned and came over and knelt in front of the couch. Xu Jie said, "Tell me,"

The housekeeper secretly glanced at the three brothers of the Xu family. When he turned his eyes, he found that Xu Jie was staring at him. He immediately felt soft and lowered his head and said, "Go back to the palace, the palace... The news from the palace, Zhang Qi entered the palace this morning and handed over the complaint... to sue you..."

Xu Jie bowed and asked anxiously: "Do you know what he told me?"

The housekeeper said with a bitter face: "The person who came to report the news was a eunuch under Li Fang. He had a low status and the palace was now full of Feng Bao's people. He could not inquire about it. After talking about this, he had already sneaked back."

Xu Jie's body stiffened for a moment, then slowly lay back, looking straight upward without moving.

Xu Ying cursed: "Zhang Qi, this headless fly must have heard you give Yun Qing the Minister of Works yesterday. He was resentful. When he saw you fall down, he took advantage of the situation and took private revenge..." Zou Yinglong, who was standing aside, moved slightly. Xu Jie knew that he was a very smart person. He could immediately understand the matter of "one woman and two families" by listening to the side. The most taboo in the officialdom was to make promises easily, just because he made a promise, he was settled, and the matter was not a word.

But he had a hope that he should do it. He was wrong and complained. Instead, he could not smoke inside and outside. He promised Zhang Qi the day before yesterday because he wanted to abandon this child. Besides, Zhang Qi did not dare to talk outside. He could only suffer a loss. Unexpectedly, in the end of today's scene, he was exposed to his son. He really wanted to scold him on the spot, but when he opened his mouth, he felt relieved and smiled sadly.

Wang Shizhen said: "Ge Master, I think the third young master is right. Xu Wei is extremely smart. He has never seen us fall into a well and will not easily expose his fault. In other words, this move was not due to his instructions. Zhang Qi is not very smart, and the crime he pieced together will not be threatening. We don't have to worry about it."
