Chapter 100 The Duke of Jinling
There was nothing to say again, but Xue Nong and Fang Xiao from Hangzhou went to Shuiyue Temple again, and when they were free, they put in incense sticks for Xiao Qingtan and chatted with Lianqing a little. When they went down the mountain, Xue Nong also looked at Fang Xiao and said, "Fang Xiao, actually, I really hope that everyone in the six doors is like Xiao Qingtan, but I don't want them all to do this."
"Yes, everyone in the world says that the six doors are used to maintain the world's way, but how could they know that this world is maintained by the blood of our brothers." Fang Xiao also sighed.
"Fang Xiao, Nanjing, I can be sure that it is a melting pot. It is not just a game between the King of Fortune and the Prince, but more importantly, it is a game in many camps. No one asks you to solve this game. Do you understand what I mean?" Liu Yutian also said.
"Uncle Xue, I asked me to untie the plaque of Liushemen, and the young and old in Nanjing City asked me to untie it because they didn't want to die in the battle between some people inexplicably." Fang Xiao said solemnly.
"Oh, forget it. You will set off for Nanjing tomorrow." Xue Nong also knew that such people could not persuade them. Whether they were buried here, Xiao Qingtan or Su Buqing in the capital, they were all such people. "When you arrive in Nanjing, you may only have the New Year in half a month. According to their behavior, they will never delay the habit of delaying the New Year. Please pay attention to everything, Liu Yutian should be the main focus."
"Uncle Xue, what can I do? No matter what monsters or monsters there are in Nanjing, I will catch them for him so that he can stand in front of the people clearly." Fang Xiao also looked directly at Xue Nong and said.
"Master Fang, it's not good for us to come directly without posting a visit." Zhu Youtan was shocked when he saw Fang Liangping pulling him and came directly to the Duke of Wei's mansion and said.
"In special times, there is not so much attention to being in a hurry." Fang Liangping said calmly without forgetting his identity as a Taifu.
Seeing Fang Rongping so sure, Zhu Youtan also called Xiaohuangmen to call the door. From time to time, a servant came out of the corner gate on the west side, and also greeted Zhu Youtan and Fang Rongping and said, "I don't know if you are here to visit, there will be a message."
"You go and tell your master that the old friends in the palace will understand if they want to see him." Fang Liangping also chuckled. Seeing the servant walking back to the mansion, Zhu Youtan also complained: "Master Fang, when you say this, why don't Duke Wei know my identity? At that time, he will definitely open the middle door to welcome me, which will be unfavorable to us and other major events."
"Your Highness, don't worry, listen to the gentle me, come slowly." Fang Qingping also said, "Does your prince still think that the people who are standing here at the moment of Fu Wang don't know?"
Zhu Youtan also browed and said, "I think it's impossible to hide it."
"Since it's impossible to hide it, why not just spread this matter? Welcoming the Central Sect of Wei is just an ordinary etiquette in your opinion, but in the eyes of the people below, it is a statement. He explained that the Duke of Wei is standing with you and the emperor, and you still have you in his eyes. At that time, no matter whether the Duke of Wei sways or not, it will have already gained benefits for us." Fang Liangping also said in Zhu Youtan's ear in a low voice.
Zhu Youtan also looked very good when he heard this. At this time, the central gate of Duke Wei's Duke also creaked and slowly opened to both sides. As the two vermilion-red doors opened was Duke Wei Xu Xingcheng who was walking towards him.
Xu Xingcheng also knelt directly and said, "My minister Xu Xingcheng, I don't know that the Crown Prince has not been prepared properly, so I ask your highness to punish him."
"Duke please get up quickly." Zhu Youtan also helped Xu Xingcheng, who was kneeling, and said, "Duke works hard for the country on weekdays. How can you blame you for such a small matter at this time?"
"I am just keeping my duty and I dare not accept this praise." Xu Xingcheng also lowered his head and said.
"Duke of Wei, can you talk to the prince here for the whole morning?" Fang Liangping also said with a smile.
When Duke Wei came out, he was also devoted to the prince. At this time, he saw Fang Liangping beside him and thought secretly: 'How could Fang Liangping come with the prince? Even if he is the Grand Tutor, there is no reason to be too close to the prince at this time. Could it be that he came to report to me? Tell me to occupy the border?' Although I thought so, I said, "How dare I neglect Your Highness and Lord Fang. Please."
Seeing him say this, Zhu Youtan and Fang Liangping also followed Xu Xingcheng into the magnificent Duke of Wei's Mansion. After passing through the hall, there was a small garden first, but it was already winter and it looked a little desolate. It was the second yard. Xu Xingcheng thought about it and did not take the two to the main hall but went to the yard on the right. When he entered the yard on the right, there was a different view. There was a pavilion in the yard, and grape trellis on both sides. Although there were no grape vines, it exuded a hint of refreshing.
Xu Xingcheng also opened the room facing the courtyard door, invited the two of them in and said, "Your Highness, please, Lord Fang." Zhu Youtan and Fang Liangping also returned to the ceremony and walked into the room. This room was not a standard reception hall, but Xu Xingcheng's study room. The whole room was divided into two parts. The first part was obviously a bookshelves, with many bookshelves neatly arranged on one side, while the other side was randomly placed with calligraphy and paintings, as well as a desk. Not far from this desk were two Grand Master chairs and a coffee table.
Xu Xingcheng invited the prince to the desk, and asked Fang Liangping to sit on the chair close to the prince, while he was sitting at the end. After asking the maid to put the tea on, he hurriedly stepped back and knelt down and said, "The criminal Xu Xingcheng is ashamed of the emperor's kindness, so he apologized to the prince."
"Why did Duke Wei say this?" Zhu Youtan asked in confusion.
"The day before yesterday, King Fu came to me and said that he wanted to borrow my Xu family's fleet for a business, so he gave up the benefit of a thousand taels. I was greedy and took the money off. But now I felt that it was inappropriate, so I revealed the truth in front of the hall, and hoped that your highness would punish me." Xu Xingcheng also knelt down and kowtowed.
Zhu Youtan also thought in his heart: 'Thousand taels of silver are not even fur for you Duke Wei. Why do you tell me such a thing?' So Zhu Youtan also glanced at Fang Liangping. Seeing Fang Liangping give him a smile and affirmative look, he also said: "It's only a thousand taels of silver, but I see Duke's sincere heart. Is there any comfort in my heart? Duke, how can I punish you? Please get up quickly."
Xu Xingcheng also stood up and thanked, "I thank Your Highness for your righteousness." Then he returned to his seat and sat down.
"The Duke of the State is also loyal. If you think that if you have a Duke of the State in Nanjing, you must be a stingy person who has nowhere to hide." Fang Liangping also said with a smile.
"Yes, the Duke of Wei is in Jinling, so naturally no one dares to touch this thought." Zhu Youtan also said with a smile.
Xu Xingcheng's mouth also rose slightly at this moment.
