With a bang, first a Yuan Dynasty official kiln blue and white four-love plum vase fell to the ground and broke.
Then there was another blue and white Guiguzi Xiashan pattern plate from the Xuande period, which shattered on the ground. Then another Duan Inkstone hit the ground and broke into several petals.
In a spacious and bright study room in Dagonfang Cidi in Nanjing City, smoke and dust were scattered, utensils were flying everywhere, and all kinds of valuable objects were falling on the floor tiles. The owner of these good things, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji, just sat behind a desk with a livid face, watching his traitor Xu Yunjue smashing things, but he did not stop him.
The Duke's Mansion of Wei!
Do you care about this?
When he was an official in Nanjing, Wang Shizhen, one of the "Later Seven Sons", wrote a book called "A Journey to the Gardens in Jinling", which recorded a total of sixteen famous gardens, ten of which either belonged to Wei Guofu or Wei Guofu. of side branches.
The Wei State Mansion, which has been in Jinling for more than two hundred years, is really rich and noble! The richest family in the Ming Dynasty may not necessarily be the Wei government, but the richest family among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty must be their family.
So if my son wants to smash something good, Xu Hongji has no objection... just smash it if he's not in a good mood! As long as the son can feel happy after smashing it, it will be fine.
Of course, it wasn't that Xu Hongji doted on his son too much, or that the Wei Guofu family didn't have a tutor, but that Xu Hongji, the father, had made Xu Yunjue's son miserable.
Xu Hongji himself was afraid of death and pretended to be ill, so he asked his son to serve in the army on his behalf...not just to pretend, but to play it real with the ruthless emperor Zhu Youjian!
Back then, Zhu Youjian personally took a spear and forced a group of noble nobles from Beijing to ride into battle and kill the slave thieves!
Although Xu Yunjue had a slight hesitation, the horseman would not fall to the ground, but his archery would definitely miss the target, and he would not be able to use a sword or a gun on horseback. If you go to the battlefield with this ability, you will definitely lose your life.
Mr. Xu has tricked his son to this extent, why don't he let him break some good things to vent his anger?
Seeing that the good things in his study were almost smashed, the old man angrily ordered the people watching the fun: "Quick, go to the warehouse and bring out a few more things for the prince to smash...Yun Jue, you No matter how much you smash it, Dad won’t feel bad. There are a lot of good things passed down from our ancestors, so you can smash them as much as you want!"
Seeing his father like this, Xu Yunjue was not interested in smashing him anymore... What were he smashing? How could this house in Wei Guofu be destroyed by a little Yuan blue and white porcelain and Xuande porcelain?
When he thought of such a rich family, and because his father was greedy for life and fearful of death, it was not his turn to inherit it, Xu Yunjue's tears fell like dropped pearls!
"Dad, I won't go, I won't go, wuwu..." Xu Yunjue sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
Xu Hongji's old face suddenly darkened: "Son, if you want to smash things and ruin the family, dad won't care... If you feel dissatisfied, set fire to the big kongfang, dad won't care, just build it again." !
But after all the hard work, you have to go to Puzikou Camp for your father and serve in front of the army...even if it costs you your life!
Because if you don’t go, our Duke Wei will be gone! Without Wei Guogong, what else can you do? You can't do anything but beg for food... No, you can't beg for food either, you can only starve to death! "
Xu Yunjue glared at the old man: "Dad, why don't you go?"
Xu Hongji said sternly: "I'm afraid of death! I am the Duke of Wei, I have a huge wealth and endless enjoyment of glory and wealth. How can I not be afraid of death?"
"Dad, you are afraid of death, aren't I afraid of death?" Xu Yunjue snorted, "I am also afraid of death! I won't go... I just want to beg for food. Even if I starve to death, I won't go!"
Xu Hongji smiled: "There is no better son than a father! Dad knows your future, but this matter is not up to you. Your brother Dingguo Gongzhen will come to Dagongfang with his servants later and arrest you directly. ! His servants have all fought against the Tatars. You are no match for them, so just go with them honestly!" 163
"You, you, you cheated your son like this, our ancestors in heaven will know it, they will definitely do it, they will definitely..."
The father and son were quarreling, and the voice of Dingguo Gong Xu Yunzhen came from outside the door: "Uncle, is my brother ready? Someone came from Laoshan Palace just now, and asked me to go to Laoshan Palace immediately. Don’t let your brother go with me.”
"Okay, okay..." Xu Hongji stopped arguing with his son, stood up and went to open the door for Xu Yunzhen with a smile.
A few years ago, Xu Yunzhen was just like Xu Yunjue, a playboy, but in the past few years, he has gained experience. Not only can he lead some soldiers, but he has also mastered the skills of arching and horse-all the noble disciples in Beijing are practicing, because no one knows when Zhu Youjian will be forced to go to the battlefield again!
With this kind of disaster that doesn't know when it will come, no noble family dares to slack off!
So now Xu Yunzhen looks dark-skinned, strong, and has a big beard, and he looks a bit fierce.
Xu Hongji sighed: "Well, it's better for you to Dingguo Mansion. With a father-in-law like you, our Wei State Mansion is nothing but useless snacks..."
Xu Yunzhen walked in the door and saw the debris on the ground. After listening to Xu Hongji's words, he roughly knew what happened, so he smiled: "The skills are all forced... If it weren't for Long Live Lord, How could we nobles from Beijing have such abilities as we do now?"
Xu Hongji nodded, looking deeply convinced, "Yun Jue, follow your brother and practice hard, let Long live the master push you, maybe you will become a talent."
"What kind of talent are you?" Xu Yunjue said bitterly, "Cheng Zhonglie is the one! I heard that when the slaves and thieves entered, many nobles from Beijing were forced to rush into the battle by Banzai, and they all lost their lives... ....If Duke Cheng Guo had not been loyal enough to save many people, many more would have died."
Xu Yunzhen waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, last time the slave bandits broke into the Great Wall, Long Live Lord had to fight hard. Now it's just some rogue bandits entering the Dabie Mountains, it's no big deal... So Long Live Lord is not here Fighting desperately, but kidnapping!"
"Tie... kidnap money?" Xu Yunjue was stunned, "He is already a long-lived man, and yet, kidnap meat money?"
Xu Yunzhen nodded.
Xu Yunjue asked stupidly: "Brother, who is the meat ticket?"
Xu Yunzhen looked at his silly cousin and said with a smile, "Isn't that you?"
"Me? Am I a prostitute?" Xu Yunjue's head was spinning. What kind of world is this! The mighty Ming Emperor has already started to act as a kidnapper, and he even wants to kidnap himself, the prince of the Duke of Wei!
He quickly looked at the old man with pleading eyes, as if to say: Dad, Long Live Master is not a good person, he is a kidnapper!
The expression on Xu Hongji's face relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Money is an extraneous thing. If you don't bring it with you when you are alive, you won't take it with you when you die... As long as Yun Jue is fine, money is not a problem!"
Xu Yunzhen said with a smile: "Okay... As I said, the Wei government has been saved, and my brother Jue will be fine. By the way, uncle, now we heroes can ask Long Live Lord for a real title." ! The Duke can invite 4,000 households. It’s a rare opportunity, so don’t give up. The future prosperity of our two Dukes will depend on these 8,000 military households!"
Zhu Youjian's "real seal" is a money-losing business. When a new hero gets the real seal, he will be rewarded according to the standard of one hundred taels of silver per household. Old heroes do not have this treatment, but they can also ask for land and population. The standards are the same as new heroes. Xu Yunzhen has invited 4,000 households, but has not yet formally granted land. Now I also want to get Wei Guofu to invite 4,000 more households. In this way, the two public houses together will have 8,000 households. According to the standard of 10 households raising one cavalry, 800 cavalry can be raised in the future. If the Xu family is willing to subsidize a little, a cavalry regiment can be raised!
This capital is not small, it is enough to protect the wealth of the two public houses.
"This matter..." Xu Hongji thought, "I have to think about it carefully."
"Okay, think about it carefully!" Xu Yunzhen said, "Then I will take my brother away first."
