On the way from the Xi Zheng Palace to the East Palace, Xu Changqing pulled a face, as if I was very unhappy now, so don’t talk to me.
Seeing that he was almost at the door, Xu Changqing couldn't help it any longer. He turned to Xu Junlou, who had his head lowered and his hands in his hands, and said, "You don't have anything to say to me!?"
Xu Junlou smiled bitterly and said: "No matter what I say, uncle will think that I have disobeyed you, so I really don't know how to say it properly."
"Aren't you disobedient!?"
Xu Changqing took a breath and cursed: "I worked so hard to help you intercede with His Highness, what about you? It's better for you to take the initiative to go back to the Royal Academy. You almost made me angry to death, do you know that!?"
Xu Junlou did not dare to talk back and said obediently: "My nephew knows that all my uncle's hard work has been in vain."
"Then you still insist on going your own way!?" Xu Changqing was furious.
Xu Junlou raised his head and looked at Xu Changqing, and said warmly: "Uncle, can't you see that His Highness has made up his mind?"
Xu Changqing was choked with complaints, and he was stunned for a long time before saying angrily: "If I put this old face aside, maybe there will be some room for redemption."
Xu Junlou sighed softly and said: "Your Highness, the young hero, is extremely determined. It was my nephew who made the reckless mistake first. How easy is it to plead for mercy?"
"Just as my uncle and aunt said when they taught my nephew a lesson, resigning from office is a big deal, not to mention that the nephew's official position is the governor of the capital, an extremely important position, and it was arranged by His Highness against all the opinions.
When my nephew encounters some difficulties, he shrinks back and even hands over the memorial. This is already a dire situation. To plead in front of His Highness, saying that he was confused at the time but regrets it now, and begging His Highness to pretend that he doesn't know about this matter, isn't this more and more childish?
?”
Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, stopped, and stared blankly at Xu Junlou, who had a low eyebrow and a calm expression in front of him, and was speechless.
"In fact, before, my nephew also hoped to overturn the situation, but after hearing that His Highness wanted to promote his uncle to the position of provincial minister, he changed his mind."
Xu Junlou said warmly: "Since His Highness revealed this intention to his uncle, then this promotion is certain, and once it is announced, my uncle will definitely stand at the center of the political turmoil between the ruling and opposition parties. At that time, we should do our best
The only thing is to ensure that the uncle is safe and secure. My nephew is still young and there are still many opportunities in the future. Even if he went to the Royal Academy and studied for a few years before coming out, it would still be completely late. At that time, the uncle's position was stable, and the prince's promise today
, it won’t be a problem to come back again.”
"Therefore, why should my uncle make His Highness unhappy at this juncture for the sake of his nephew?"
After listening to Xu Junlou's words quietly, the corners of Xu Changqing's mouth twitched, and finally a thousand words turned into a long sigh.
"You think a lot more than I thought, and you're right."
Patting Xu Junlou's shoulder, Xu Changqing said: "That's fine. Let's settle down for a while. If we come out again, we may not have better opportunities."
Saying this sentence means that the uncle and nephew have put aside the unpleasantness they had caused by Xu Junlou's previous self-assertion.
Xu Junlou also showed a smile and said, "Uncle, it's okay if you don't blame your nephew."
"No wonder."
