Chapter 897 The Last Supper

The New Year’s Eve dinner does not require many delicacies, what you eat is the feeling, what you want is the atmosphere, so the whole family must do this meal. Ping An and ordinary washing vegetables, Liu Ying cuts vegetables, frys, fried, and fried Tang Yi. As for Wang Yueying and bread dumplings, they are very busy.

At dusk, Ping An and Ping An lit firecrackers with incense candles, making noises, festive and peaceful, covering the Tang family.

"By the way, what's wrong with Aunt Hai?" Tang Yi asked casually.

Liuying sighed, "What else can you do? I feel awkward. A divorce letter made me hurt my heart."

"Oh, I'm also blamed on this matter. If Brother Gangfeng didn't write a divorce letter, how could he move forward bravely and make the truth come true?"

"Has the truth really come to light?" asked the clever wife with a smile.

Tang Yi's old face turned red, "There are many things in this world that never have the truth, including myself."

"It's done, don't get along with yourself." The wife said politely: "My elder brother likes to say that he wants to be honest and unintentional. I think these four words are easy to say but difficult to do. Just try your best, and don't have to get stuck."

"Yes, after all, Wang Jue Ye is open-minded and has extraordinary knowledge!" Tang Yi laughed, causing Wang Yueying to roll his eyes.

The family put aside all the unhappiness and happily ate the New Year’s Eve dinner.

...

Similarly, the Xu family's mansion was also busy. Xu Kun came from Songjiang, and Xu Fan, with two sons, and a large group of grandchildren and girls. He was full of descendants. Xu Jie was in the cabinet almost every day, and many younger generations couldn't recognize them.

The old man was in a daze and couldn't help but sigh, "As a father, he has long enjoyed family happiness. But as a father, he still has to review memorials day and night. National affairs are like a lot of trouble, court officials are unwilling to do business, and chaos is everywhere... I really don't know when my father can last!"

Xu Kunxin said that it was the New Year, would you always say something good? This family is all pointing at you!

"Dad, my child came from his hometown and had already inquired along the way. People say that since Mr. Xu was in power and the world was in power, life has been getting better and better. They also said that they would give you umbrellas and ten thousand words of letters to you, but I don't know if you always accept it!"

Xu Fan also came over, "Yes, dad, didn't you see it? So many court officials heard that you always want to resign, and they all rushed to write a letter to keep your father. What is this? This is what people want! You are always bear the hope of the world, who is crazy and dares to touch you?"

Xu Jie was not blinded by the enchantment of his two sons at all. The source of his uneasiness was the attitude of all officials. Xu Jie knew that he was very powerful, but he might not be so powerful!

He put forward the "three rebates". Although there are many pursuing efforts, the Xu Party is not the dominant party in the court, including the Tang Party, the Jin Party, and even a few remaining high parties. Xu Jie stayed and did not kill him.

This time, all the officials pleaded for themselves together. Could it be that they all understood the Prime Minister's painstaking efforts and were grateful to Xu Jie's kindness, so they wrote a letter to protect Lao Xu?

After nearly fifty years of being an official, Xu Huating has long since been so naive.

If everyone has a conscience, will there be so many chaos in the world?

When a group of people get together, their moral level is not to be on par with the highest or to take the average, but to be lower than the lowest!

There is a shameless person who will learn from him in order to prevent being killed, and even surpass him. In comparison with each other, the bottom line is constantly broken, and the character is constantly depreciating. The original youthful passion has become dirty black water after several years. There is no way, and you can't live without being thick or black.

This is what is called the worldly style decline. Since the righteous virtues, eunuchs have been in power, treacherous ministers have gained power, loyal and kind are killed, good people are killed... No one knows more about all the things than Xu Jie.

With his keenness, all officials wrote a letter together, and there must be conspiracy and plots in it.

He could guess vaguely that it was probably because of his old in-law Yang Bo, and his former student Tang Yi... You want to put me on the fire and roast it!

But you thought you could kill me like this, you were too naive.

Let’s wait. There are still a few hours left. The first year of Longqing will pass. When will it be after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? Then I will take the lead and ask Tang Yi to be the chief examiner and write the exam questions behind closed doors. As for Yang Bo, I’m sorry, you should go to Jiubian to eat sand! There are enough gods in the capital and can’t hold on to you, a great god!

Old Xu smiled bitterly. After being the chief assistant for so many years, he realized that Yan Song might not have wanted to fight with others, but he was not meant to hurt the tiger, and the tiger was harmful to the hearts of others. If you don’t hold down your opponent, you can’t live a comfortable life. Don’t blame me for being ruthless, you are asking for it!

"Have a meal!"

Xu Jie slapped the handrail, and his two sons supported Xu Jie, one left and one right, and arrived in the hall. The son of Sun and his brother and girl knelt in front of him. Mr. Xu smiled kindly, holding a red envelope with small gold and silver ingots inside. Each of them gave a bag, which made the juniors smile happily.

Surrounded by the children, Xu Jie sat in the main seat.

The dishes on the table were made by the chef brought by Xu Kun, with authentic Songjiang flavor.

Xu Jie has left his hometown for decades, but in the past few decades, Songjiang is developing greatly again, especially after the opening of the sea, Songjiang is getting richer day by day.

With money in your pocket, there are naturally more gourmet gourmets, and various novel dishes have also been studied.

Take the plate of green fish bald lungs closest to Xu Jie as an example. Take the live green fish, slaughter and peel the cod liver attached to the fish intestines as raw materials. Each green fish only has to make fifteen green fish to make this dish. The color is golden, fat and not greasy, tender as a pig's brain, the whole piece is not broken, and it is extremely fat and fresh.

Xu Jie tasted it and praised it all the time. The rest of the pickled Sichuan braised circle, stir-fried grass head, white chopped chicken, chicken bone sauce, stewed bowl head, shrimp big black ginseng, Songjiang sea bass, Fengjing Dingsho... all made Xu Jie very satisfied.

"If you eat it again, your belly will be broken." Xu Jie smiled, "You young people like big fish and meat. When you get old, you will love to be dull. You can't eat well here, so I'll go to the study first."

Xu Jie stood up and was about to leave, and Xu Fan gave him his father.

At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly ran in.

"Qi Zhu, Lord Zhang asks for a meeting."

"What are he here to do?" Xu Kun didn't understand the meaning.

Xu Fan smiled and said, "The second son, Zhang Juzheng's original wife, passed away. When he was in the capital, he would spend every New Year's Day at our house. This time he came again. Eighty percent of the time he wanted my father to have a bowl of New Year's Eve dinner. I'll go and greet him."

He turned around and was about to leave, and Xu Jie suddenly waved his hand.

"Slow down." After a pause, Xu Jie said again: "Go and call him to my study."

When he turned around, no one noticed that Xu Jie's face looked particularly ugly.

This time, Zhang Juzheng came back and was more respectful to his master on the surface, but no matter what, the two of them could not recover from their original friendship as father and son. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng would definitely not do such things as going to the Xu family for the New Year.

What's more, Zhang Juzheng strongly advocated attacking Kedao, while Xu Jie was dedicated to protecting him. The master and apprentice were already in a completely different direction, but there was no breakup.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng suddenly came, and Lao Xu had to think a lot. I'm afraid it was definitely not a good thing.

He had just arrived at the study room, and not long after, Zhang Juzheng walked in from outside. His face looked very bad and his brows were furrowed.

Xu Jie waved his hand at Xu Fan and sent his son out.

Only two masters and apprentices were left. Xu Jie smiled and said, "Taiyue, if you have anything to do, just say it. How many years have you been in the master's officialdom? You can hold on!"

Zhang Juzheng's nose suddenly had sore hair and tears almost poured out. He took a few steps, reached Xu Jie, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground.

When I looked up again, tears were already blurred.

Xu Jie was shocked, he had already guessed eight points.

"Did Your Majesty ask you to come?"

"Well, it was Your Majesty who asked the disciple to ask the master's name, if it was true..." Zhang Juzheng could no longer say anything.

Xu Jie's head buzzed and almost fainted. He tried hard to grab the corner of the table, maintained his calmness, and smiled miserably, "It turns out that he is the Supreme Nine Five. In a word, I will retire and go home. It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Zhang Juzheng suddenly looked up and said loudly: "Shi Xiang, you can't leave. The Ming Dynasty cannot do without you. We mobilize all officials to write letters to let the governors and governors from all over the country write letters together. When His Majesty sees the true hearts of the people, he will change his mind!"

"Haha, silly kid, you can't fight with your life. Have you ever seen the chief minister who is always on stage?" Xu Jie smiled desolately, and he thought to himself that if he really instigated all officials and fought against the emperor, he might not even be safe in his later years and would end up even worse than Yan Song.

Xu Jie is worthy of being the most powerful prime minister in two hundred years. He quickly adjusted his mentality. Since the prime minister's position is not guaranteed, he must think about how to deal with the aftermath, rather than resentment, and getting angry and crazy, it will be useless!

Xu Jie looked at Zhang Juzheng and suddenly felt a little moved. Perhaps it was a mistake from the beginning. If he was not so stubborn at the beginning and chose Tang Yi as his successor early, there would be no trouble.

But history cannot assume that it is because it is self-conceiving.

Tang Yi is now strong and the situation is ready. He will not be a filial son and grandson for himself. On the contrary, he may even put himself in trouble and kill him!

Since you are wrong, just make the mistake to the end!

Xu Jie suddenly grabbed Zhang Juzheng's arm and said sternly: "Get up, you are the descendant of my husband's robe and mantle. Stand up. I am leaving. You have to support those people."

Zhang Juzheng's whole body was shocked. He could never have imagined that at this point, Xu Jie was willing to choose him as his heir.

"Master's Majesty..." Zhang Juzheng couldn't say anything, and he was a little blushed and guilty. He did not dare to face the old man's sharp gaze, and lowered his head in shame.

"Taiyue, you have your ideas, and you have the best of your teachers. We all want to help the king, Yao and Shun, and resolve the people's upside down. We all want to restore the ancestors to achieve the law, rule the world, and revive the Ming Dynasty. It is different from those chaotic villains who are full of evil and evil!" Xu Jie's strong hatred on his face shocked Zhang Juzheng.

Didn't realize that Xu Jie's opinion on Tang Yi was so big?
