Chapter 6 The moonlight tonight is so beautiful

"If I am the Tongzheng envoy, can I avoid deceiving and deceive the emperor? Why do I feel it is unreliable? What if I am deceived?"

Xu Jingchang asked Yao Guangxiao back.

The old monk was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Why do you think so?"

"What should I think?"

Yao Guangxiao pondered: "Shaohou, the envoy of Tongzheng was established by Emperor Taizu, and was one of the nine ministers. He has great power. He is in charge of memorials and can't do it if he is not a confidant of the emperor. I also heard that the envoy of Shaohou is good at learning, and he saw that you are smart and quick-witted, so he intended to be the envoy of Tongzheng, assist Your Majesty, and also to glorify the ancestors and revitalize the family. This is a good job that others cannot ask for. How could you worry that you can't do it?"

Yao Guangxiao said again: "Young people naturally have to do something. Even if they are not able to achieve their strength at the beginning, as long as they are willing to think carefully and work hard, they will be familiar with it soon... For example, when His Majesty was just a vassal, he was still confused when he was a vassal, but after a few years, he understood how to be a vassal king. After the 25th year of Hongwu, his Majesty led his troops in several battles. Young Marquis, you should believe in yourself. Just a mere political envoy is no problem, and sooner or later he will become a famous minister, a general and a prime minister, and will be remembered in history."

Faced with the great monk's encouragement, Xu Jingchang suddenly smiled and said slowly: "Sister Yao, how did you encourage Your Majesty back then?"

Yao Guangxiao's face turned dark and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty was framed by a treacherous slander and forced to raise an army to calm down. If you tell Your Majesty just now, be careful of being angry and thunderous!"

Xu Jingchang hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master, let me go... But I really have no intention of being a communist in charge of politics. This is how I want to ask the master. If you can solve my doubts, I will agree immediately. What do you think?"

"Shaoshi, in the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty, the generals of Huaixi under Emperor Taizu were also a very high-ranking wave of heroes in the thousands of years of history. Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and others were just thousands of households in the Yan Palace before the Jingnan Dynasty. Even though they were a little extraordinary, they were still far behind." Xu Jingchang said fairly.

Xu Jingchang took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Young Master, I would like to ask, you have made achievements and become famous all over the world. What are your plans next? Should you do your best to assist Your Majesty and devote yourself to your entire life until you die? Or should you learn from Zhang Liang and Fan Li and retire after success?"

Xu Jingchang looked outside and said from the heart: "Please look at the young master, how beautiful the moonlight is tonight!"

"Young Marquis, I have no malice. I recommend you to be the Tongzheng Envoy because looking at the entire court, you are the most suitable person. The six ministers and nine ministers only have Tongzheng Envoys, so there is no need to have too many academic qualifications. The six ministers and the Zuodu Censor, if I don't recommend you in these positions, why should you be suspicious of me?"

Can he be a sensible person? If he can't be a sensible person, do you know if he doesn't have the ability?

If Geng Bingwen had not been constrained, this veteran alone would have defeated the entire Yan army.

Xu Jingchang took a breath again, "Young Master, you can't tell Your Majesty, what's the use of telling me?"

"Young Master, you don't have to waste your talk. I will go to meet the queen when I look back. I told her that she is young and ignorant, so she asked her to arrange for me to study in the Imperial College. I will study in the Imperial College for a few years, that's it."

Xu Jingchang didn't say anything, but got up and walked to the window... and pushed it away suddenly.

"The Young Marquis, although almost all the founding nobles fell, the old subordinates still existed, and there were many good generals among them. They were just unprotected and it was difficult to stand up. I originally thought that I could save a group of civil officials by protecting Fang Xiaoru, and even Fang Xiaoru was not guilty. Military generals such as Sheng Yong and Ping'an could save their lives. Your Majesty's great cause is inseparable from these generals. I just couldn't say some of them clearly."

Yao Guangxiao nodded, "It's true. Your Majesty is ambitious and must achieve great things. If you rely solely on these second-rate talents, you may not be able to achieve your long-cherished wish!"

"Once you were in a state of great difficulty, if you don't appreciate it, you are so unprofitable. At a young age, you have to live your life. You are not promising!"

Geng Bingwen's level is definitely not at the forefront among the nobles in Huaixi.

Xu Jingchang shook his head almost without hesitation.

"no!"

Xu Jingchang was also stunned. Sure enough, Yao Guangxiao was not a pedantic person, and he would not think that keeping Fang Xiaoru would save the seeds of scholars. There must be deeper calculations here.

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said, "You are inappropriate. If you want to talk about achievements, Jiang Ziya, who has been prosperous for eight hundred years, Zhang Zifang, who has been prosperous for four hundred years, and Zhuge Wuhou, who has been the same person for thousands of years, are all thousands of times better than me."

This time it was Xu Jingchang's turn to be speechless. If you have the courage to say that these three are already top Versailles.

Both sides are not on the same order of magnitude at all.

Yao Guangxiao remained silent and was thinking there. Xu Jingchang thought he was still moved, so he brought a pair of chess, "Sister Yao, this is made of golden nanmu. It is said that it was given to my grandfather by Taizu. If you are interested, I will give it to you."

Xu Jingchang smiled even more, "Maybe, but the water outside is deep, I'm afraid of drowning me. After all, my father just left, and my uncle is in the death row again. Young Master, you will be pitiful to me and let me live a few relaxing days safely."

"Young Marquis, you have asked me a lot of questions. I will also ask you back, "How about the generals under Your Majesty's command compared to the Huaixi nobles back then?"

Xu Jingchang nodded, "I understand, thank you for solving the problem."

Xu Jingchang said: "Young Master, as a minister, I have to do something. I think of it as a monk, assisting the vassal kings, planning and strategizing... Master should be the first person in history. Since ancient times, no capable minister dares to compete with you. I wonder if what I said is right?"

But what does this have to do with Fang Xiaoru's life or death, and his own appointment as the Tongzheng Envoy?

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty would not perish so quickly, I still have to fish!

Yao Guangxiao was so funny that he couldn't help but laugh. How could he care about this thing...

This time it was Yao Guangxiao's turn to hesitate. He said in confusion: "Young Marquis, what do you understand?"

Yao Guangxiao was stunned for a moment, "What are you fighting with me?"

After saying this, Yao Guangxiao was speechless. He saw many people, and even Zhu Di was fooled by him. However, this was the first time he encountered such a tricky and weird thing at a young age.

When Xu Jingchang heard this, his brow frowned slightly. He seemed to understand a little. Why did Zhu Di have to conquer Mongolia personally? There was really no handsome talent who could stand alone and had to do it himself. This is Zhu Di's sorrow.

Zhu Di’s group of men, Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu, and Zhu Neng, can they fight?

If you can't fight, Qiu Fu's like that, you will become a pioneer.

Yao Guangxiao was anxious, "Young Marquis, at this point, I can only open the skylight. I said before, I want to protect Fang Xiaoru, do you know why?"

Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly and whispered: "You ask, I will definitely help you solve your doubts."

Yao Guangxiao came in the evening. After chatting with Xu Jingchang for a while, the twilight outside was already shrouded in twilight and the crescent moon rose.

Xu Jingchang smiled implicitly and said, "Young Master, you said you just want to study and play chess and enjoy your old age. My current identity is enough to study and play chess, fish and enjoy the moon, and go to Qinhuai to listen to the songs and go to the street to try food... You have worked hard for decades, but it is just my current state."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "How about this, I will be your apprentice. If you want to play chess and read books, I will serve you. Then we master and apprentice have fun in Yingtian. Eat and drink, and wander around. By the way, we can also look up at astronomy, geography, and have the universe in mind. It is much more interesting than the flies in the court. Do you think?"

Xu Jingchang smiled indifferently and didn't respond at all. You old monk is full of bad water. If I am not careful, you won't know if you sell it.

Xu Jingchang said sincerely: "Sister, I ask myself, this life is not one ten thousandth of that of a junior teacher. Why should I waste my time? Learning from a junior teacher early, enjoying my old age, and living a happy life with peace of mind. Isn't this good? Don't you think?"

In this wave of Huaixi nobles, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu, he picked up any of them, and they were all outstanding generals. Even in the five thousand years of history, they were outstanding generals.

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "I am a foreigner. Now I am old this year and don't have that much thought. I just want to live in a temple, study and play chess, and enjoy my old age."

"Of course it is of great use! The Lord of Wuyang lost his life for the Jingnan battle. As long as you inherit his title, you are both a founding noble and a Jingnan noble. What you said to Your Majesty saved Xu Huizu of Wei. After entering the court, you will naturally be able to protect more innocent civil and military personnel to avoid being implicated. You can not only protect the old descendants of the founding nobles, but also suppress the arrogant and domineering nobles of Jingnan. The position of Tongzheng Envoy is to be sandwiched between the inside and outside, harmonize yin and yang, balance civil and military personnel, and restrict the court... With your special identity, you will definitely be able to be at ease, like a tiger with wings!"

Xu Jingchang widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Sister Master, I, do I have such a great use?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded and said, "That's true, I didn't lie to you."

"I don't do it anymore, I can't stand that fatigue." Xu Jingchang simply said: "I still like to watch the moonlight tonight."
