Xu Youzhen sat on her specially treated carriage with a five-star security factor, her eyes closed.
It seems that I am resting my mind, but I am actually thinking about things.
Now the streets of Nanjing City seemed empty. From time to time, soldiers on night watch passed by. They saw the carriage escorted by the Jinyi Guards from a distance, but they did not come forward to question them.
Yu Qian was the one who entered the capital today. Xu Youzhen, who had just returned from Taizu's mausoleum, went directly to Guanyi to see Yu Qian.
Although Yu Qian almost killed Xu Youzhen during his fourteenth year of orthodoxy, after so many years, Xu Youzhen, who had become famous, could no longer hate Qian.
Just like what Xu Youzhen said to Qian just now.
He is a virtuous minister and he is a nefarious minister. This cannot be changed.
But at this time, Xu Youzhen didn't think that she had made any big mistakes back then.
That year, after the Battle of Tumubao, Emperor Zhu Qizhen became a prisoner, the capital was empty, and the enemy's morale was high, so he proposed to move south.
Of course, in that case, he was not the only one talking about moving south, everyone was thinking about protecting themselves.
Xu Youzhen looked at the stars every day, and it was not for nothing. When Zhu Qizhen went to war, he arranged for his wife and daughter to go to his hometown in Suzhou. At that time, his wife did not agree. Xu Youzhen roared: "Are you willing? Are you a Hu woman?" This shocked his wife, and she returned to her hometown in Suzhou with her son and daughter.
Not long after he sent his family away, news of Tumu Fort's defeat reached the capital.
Xu Youzhen was not the only one who spoke about moving south, but was the first to speak.
Of course it fits the background of the time.
The emperor has been arrested, how can he be beaten?
What, the emperor was caught, and there could be another one.
This kind of thought is not impossible in the mind of a courtier with Xu Youzhen's character.
Only Yu Qian can shout that the country is more important than the king. If that doesn't work, we will establish a new king.
However, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were afraid and would take the lead in attacking the enemy.
Only Yu Qian stood up.
Under pressure, he shouted: "Anyone who talks about moving south should be killed..."
At that time, Xu Youzhen and Yu Qian were purely right and wrong. M.biQuge.biZ
But Xu Youzhen knew clearly in her heart that judging from the current results, she was wrong.
He can't be Yu Qian.
He doesn't have the ability or the courage to become Yu Qian.
Even if he climbs to Yu Qian's position in the future, he will never surpass Yu Qian's position in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor.
The contribution of saving the building from collapse and saving the country must be accompanied by Yu Qian's lifelong achievements. Not to mention, the outrageous words he said to himself today were just doing something outrageous, and no emperor with a normal brain would dare to do so. Take action and kill him.
Of course, Xu Youzhen didn't know that in a certain time and space, after his political speculation was successful, he instigated Zhu Qizhen to kill Yu Qian...
Xu Youzhen is self-aware, and everything he does is out of spite, while what Yu Qian does is obvious, making it difficult for people to find reason.
Two people are two extremes.
While Xu Youzhen closed her eyes and rested, the carriage she was riding finally arrived at her temporary residence.
"Sir, we're here." Zhao Cong's voice came from outside.
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen opened her eyes and said softly in a voice that only she could hear: "The merits and demerits will be determined by future generations, but when you do good deeds, don't ask about the future..."
After saying that, Xu Youzhen opened the curtain and was about to get out of the car, when a person stepped forward to help her. Xu Youzhen took a closer look and saw that the person who stepped forward to help her was none other than Xu Yan, Duke of Wei.
Xu Er was very mature at this time. He got married four months ago and his wife is Qingliu's daughter, and now she is already pregnant.
"Why are you here, young master?" Xu Youzhen said with a smile, and got out of the carriage with Xu Yan's help.
His own son has been raised to waste, and Xu Yan is heartily pleased to see that he is becoming more mature and capable. These days, there are more opportunities for the two of them to work together. Looking at Xu Yan is like looking at his own. Like a biological son.
"I've been waiting for you here. Hey, don't work so hard. Things will never get done." Xu Ru said with a smile.
"It's a little cold outside. Let's talk inside."
"After you."
Xu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction, and then entered her temporary residence with a smile on her face.
Xu Yan followed slowly and leisurely.
Xu Youzhen was walking in front, looking back at Xu Yan from time to time: "I have worked hard for you during this period, and you have also started a family. Don't work so hard and spend more time with your wife. You have a high starting point and there is still a long way to go in the future."
"Uncle, I don't dare to relax in the slightest. You know very well that our Duke of Wei holds the title of one of the founding Dukes of the Six Kingdoms, but the situation is much more difficult than that of the honorable ministers in the capital. Their fathers were all in The third battalion is in an important border defense town, and I just stay in Nanjing, like a canary, useless." Xu Yan sighed and said with a wry smile.
Xu Youzhen noticed the distress in Xu Yan's words.
He stopped and looked at Xu Yan.
"I will remember your merits all the time. After I return to the capital, I will report it in person. You have military merits in Annan and you have merits in the southern patrol. When the time comes, go to the third camp of the capital or the important town of Jiubian. , after a lot of experience, you will definitely achieve something."
After Xu Yan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, uncle."
"You don't need to be so polite, Xu Yan. I know you are ambitious and want to be like General Xu Da, but I still have to say something to you. If you don't climb the mountain, you won't know how high the sky is, and if you don't visit the deep stream , I don’t know how rich the earth is, General Xu Da has not been born in hundreds of years. It’s enough to have some achievements to comfort the ancestors and temples. Don’t embarrass yourself too much. It’s a good thing to have great ambitions, but remember not to be too high-spirited, but to be ambitious. It's realistic." Xu Youzhen said softly.
This was supposed to be what Xu Chengzong, the real father, said to Xu Er, but Xu Chengzong was afraid of damaging his son's enthusiasm and never said it. Now Xu Youzhen actually took away my words of advice to his son. If Xu Chengzong knew about it, he would definitely I won't treat him lightly.
Xu Er, who came back from Annan, had a special attachment to Xu Youzhen. He wanted to get closer, and Xu Youzhen also wanted to win over him. The closeness between the two made it seem to outsiders that they were like father and son. , Xu Chengzong, Xu Min's father, and Xu Shiliang, Xu Youzhen's son, have become outsiders.
"I know what you mean, uncle, and I also know that although I can't go out to fight and open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, I have the ability to defend the land and bring peace to the people... I have done so many things, but I just don't want to lie in the lap of my ancestors anymore. I'm living my life on my merits." Xu Yan said softly.
After Xu Youzhen listened to Xu Yan's words, she nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Let's go into the room with uncle quickly, let your little aunt make tea and water, and let's have a good chat..."
