The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.

Xu Bangrui held a letter tightly in his hand, with a look of wonder on his face.

"Okay! He also knows that the Zhu family is to blame for the failure of officialdom!"

To meet such an emperor who can handle things, no wonder I dare to tell him not to seek death. It is not unfair. It is indeed not unfair!

Xu Weizhi stood behind his father and said anxiously: "Father, this is urgently sent from Beizhili. Hai Rui is still some distance away from Yingtian Mansion, so please make a decision early!"

Hai Rui has almost found out, but the old man is still in the mood to praise the emperor, which makes people really anxious.

Xu Bangrui ignored his son and still stared at the emperor's edict of sin.

He murmured in his mouth: "My heart is clear and my determination is unswerving... good, good!"

"My son, to be honest, even I can't help but be heartbroken by this heroic spirit."

It was hard for him to believe that this was from Emperor Sejong's lineage.

At this time, I somewhat understood how my ancestor Xu Da felt when he followed Taizu in the notes left in the ancestral memorial.

It's a pity that the prince cannot understand this feeling.

Xu Weizhi was still anxiously circling behind him, urging: "Father, think about this later, Hai Rui is coming soon, we don't have much time!"

It can be heard in Beizhili, let alone Huai'an Prefecture.

Basically, the angels had just passed through Shandong, so the people here already knew about it in advance.

Finally, Xu Bangrui was impatient by his son, and couldn't help scolding: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry!"

"I was deceived into being humiliated by Hai Rui. I don't have a long memory. I have been thinking about getting back my place all day long. I don't even dare to think about it. You are worthy of it!?"

Xu Weizhi was scolded and wanted to defend himself but stopped.

He turned away with some embarrassment and said in a low voice: "My child is considering the safety of the Duke's mansion."

Xu Bangrui frowned and looked at his son.

I wanted to take action several times, but then I thought about my son's age and held back.

He said coldly: "Decision? How do you want me to make a decision?"

"Do you want you to be like that idiot Marquis Huaining and send soldiers privately to intercept and kill the imperial envoy?"

"Or should we follow the example of those civil servants and try to coerce public opinion?"

"Use your brain!"

"No one is looking for death in such a hurry."

"Didn't the loss you suffered last time be enough to make you remember!?"

Xu Weizhi was a little unconvinced and argued: "Then we can't just sit back and wait for death?"

Xu Bangrui took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Sit back and wait for death? What crime did I commit?"

"How long have I been back to Nanzhili? You can't even kill me!"

Not long after returning to Nanzhili, I reaped the benefits for less than half a year, and I recommended him to come out to support me.

Let alone committing crimes, he is still unable to command every room in Duke Wei's mansion.

Xu Weizhi was startled and couldn't help but said: "Father, I secretly transferred Hu Ben's right guard to the third and fourth bedrooms of the house..."

Xu Bangrui stood up, interrupted his son, and said coldly: "Yes, you also know that it is the third and fourth bedrooms."

He said with unclear meaning: "If these people have the Holy Father and the clan in their hearts, they should just sit back and wait for death and die."

This statement is extremely straightforward.

Xu Weizhi finally understood what his father meant, and finally understood why his father was sitting quietly and not in any hurry.

It turns out that I am already prepared to make sacrifices!

I couldn't help but feel a chill all over my body.

It was as if I realized for the first time that my father was my father, and the Duke of Wei was the Duke of Wei.

He was almost frightened by the thought of sending his family members to death in such an understatement!

This is not some distant relative from the fifth server, but real flesh and blood!

Apart from other things, when certain people were away from Nanzhili, Xu Weizhi relied on these uncles. Their kindness and affection were no worse than those of his father!

This is the ruthlessness of Wei Guogong, this is the bloody battle!?

Xu Bangrui put his hands in his sleeves, glanced at his son who could not accept it, and said softly: "Your Majesty said, Xu Bangrui, don't seek death."

He turned around and patted his son on the shoulder, turned and left.

He only left one sentence: "You don't want me to seek death, right?"

…

Hubu Yamen.

Cao Bangfu, the Minister of Household Affairs in Southern Zhili, looked ugly and threw the letter in his hand into the brazier.

Qin Minglei, the Minister of Rites, sat at the lower hand, sitting quietly.

Two pairs of eyes looked at the brazier, and clusters of flames were reflected in the pupils, swaying and dancing.

It seems as if he is determined to remember the words on it in his heart, and he can't take his eyes off it.

The sky was dark, which made the two people's faces look uncertain.

The two of them never thought that after experiencing the Jiajing and Longqing dynasties, they would usher in such a holy king when they were about to become official.

This kind of character is rare throughout history. Who would have thought that he would meet him for the first time!

What a holy king! If this is not a good holy king, who else can be?

This is the welfare of the people, the dawn of the Ming Dynasty, and... for them, a disaster.

Qin Minglei shook his head and sighed, and said with admiration: "I deduced it for a long time on the way here, but I still couldn't figure out how the emperor reached a consensus with the court officials."

This is not just a script. When the emperor gives an order, everyone will obey it.

Not to mention such things that hinder his reputation, even if he loses a copper penny, the emperor will be forgotten.

Cao Bangfu was not very interested and shook his head: "It's nothing more than coercion and inducement."

"Kaizhongfa and Kaihai, two bones, enough for them to chew on."

"It's just a matter of getting people together to eat the flesh of Nanzhili."

It is impossible for those distinguished officials to willingly dig out flesh and blood to carry the emperor's sedan chair.

There must be some compensation.

According to what he knew, Zhang Siwei's father was a salt merchant, and he announced his support for the opening of the Chinese law among the salt merchants.

Ma Ziqiang's father happened to be dead, so he took this opportunity to steal his love from the emperor.

There are also those nobles who have sent people south to inspect shipping matters.

All kinds of things.

All in all, the stolen goods are returned, but everyone also gets benefits.

Only those in Nanzhili were not qualified to bargain with the emperor.

How is this not irritating?

Qin Minglei couldn't help but exclaimed: "Even so, this skill is incredible to me."

Discussing compromises one by one... This is not the emperor, he is clearly the talent of the prime minister!

Don't think that it is a simple matter to fight against all opinions or persuade one by one.

Without the qualifications of a prime minister, it would be impossible to have such skills.

This means that the person sitting on the throne now is a monster with the talents of a prime minister and a righteous emperor.

Cao Bangfu frowned and said: "Let's not talk about this first. The question is what should we do now?"

The emperor had this determination and seemed not to be afraid of the situation escalating.

Then Nanzhili must either bow its head or show no less determination than this.

If you lower your head, you will be cutting your flesh. If you show determination, you will risk your life. This is not a good choice - Xu Jiecai just lost the bet.

Qin Minglei gave a meaningful reminder: "The Duke's Palace of Wei and the Marquis Huaining's Palace are now closed to thank guests, and the Ministry of War has not even been able to knock on the door."

This is a reminder to Cao Bangfu that these two military leaders are timid, so don't even think about showing off your muscles.

Cao Bangfu also sighed: "If it weren't for that old immortal Xu Jie, how could we have ended up in this situation."

Originally, Xu Jie would die at most, but with a little blood from Ying Tianfu, Hai Rui could be coaxed back.

But in order to survive, Xu Jie panicked and forced everyone to unite, only to make everyone sink deeper and deeper.

Qin Minglei shook his head: "Shangshu Cao, it's not us. I came to South Zhili not long ago. Even if I took some, it's not a big sin."
