Chapter 110

The waiter handed over the turned booklet and said, "there is another master behind Shangyu Pavilion. It is the Shangshu Jixiu of the Ministry of war."

Xu Mingyi was slightly surprised.

Ministry of war Shangshu Jixiu——

She had expected that she would not be a little person, but she had never thought that she would be a minister of the army.

"It's this one. It's not surprising to think so."

Wu Tsui put down the booklet with a faint look.

Xu Mingyi looked at him: "do you know this man, Mr. Wu?"

"Just a little." Wu Chiu said, "like Xia Tingzhen, he was an official who strongly supported the proposal to make his majesty his current crown prince."

Although the emperor is the eldest son of the former Emperor, the voice of King Yan who did not know that his biological mother had been listed as Queen was higher.

King Yan's military exploits are impressive, both in the army and in the hearts of officials, and his biological mother family also contributed a lot to the great cause of the former Emperor. The only uncle of the Yan king died for his escort. It is no exaggeration to say that he exchanged his own life for the life of the first emperor.

It is these facts that make the establishment of the reserve controversial.

At that time, Daqing was just a few years after the founding of the people's Republic of China. In Ji Xiu's hands, the three major camps of the prime minister's Beijing army had the most important right to speak, which could not be compared with Xia Tingzhen, who was only the prince's Taifu and had no real power at that time.

"But all the senior officials with some qualifications know that his Majesty was able to ascend the throne smoothly in accordance with the last imperial edict, and Ji Xiu was the first merit." Wu Chiu said.

Xu Mingyi nodded slightly, "but now Xia Tingzhen is the most valued by the emperor."

It's understandable that Ji Xiu doesn't deal with Xia Tingzhen.

"I also heard my grandfather say that this minister of the Ministry of war seemed to be a general under the former Emperor?"

When Xie, Wu and Xu fought together, they all had their own soldiers in their hands, while Ji Xiu was a general in the former Imperial Army - she remembered that her grandfather once commented that this man had mediocre qualifications and could not compete in the army.

Seeing that she took the initiative to ask, Wu Tsui, who had always been silent, was more interested in talking.

He subconsciously thought that the girl's family wouldn't want to hear these boring old things about the court. For a moment, he forgot that Miss Xu was not an ordinary girl's family at all.

"When he was in the army, there were several really powerful generals on Ji Xiu. He died because of the war, or was liquidated because he stood for the Yan king in the dispute over the establishment of the reserve. In this way, he was shown."

Xu Mingyi nodded.

This is good luck.

"It is said that King Yan was very popular in the army when the world was not fixed. It is rare that Ji Xiushen chose to support his majesty today as a military general."

Normally, the majority of those who advocate the establishment of elders should not be those rigid and law-abiding literary officials, right?

"This also has an inside story."

Wu Chiu said half, looked at her and asked, "Miss Xu, do you know why Ji Xiu, even though his heart is in all kinds of grievances, has never made an enemy of Xia Tingzhen in the open, only playing with some painless tricks behind his back?"

Xu Mingyi shook his head and looked at him curiously.

She didn't know anything about these disputes in the imperial court in her last life. Naturally, she wanted to know more in this life. At this time, Wu Tsui was willing to say, and she was willing to listen.

When the girl looked at her with such eyes, Wu Tsui was more patient than ever.

"Because Ji Xiu has no children, now he has only one daughter under his knee. He is about the same age as Miss Xu. The young son of the family comes from the family."

After Xu Mingyi's accident, he couldn't help knowing.

Of course, an adopted son can't compare with his own son.

At such an age of knowing destiny, if the family interrupts the inheritance of incense, it is tantamount to having no hope - no matter how much competition, it will only be left to an outsider in the end.

Only do some small tricks in the dark, mostly out of dissatisfaction with the Xia family, but not too much desire to fight for power and power.

"Ji Xiu had two sons before." Wu Chiu then said, "these two sons are the same age as king Yan and have been his playmates since childhood. It is said that when they were in the army, the two brothers followed King Yan in and out, and the three had a close relationship. However, in a raid, the two died in the hands of the enemy, and King Yan returned to the camp safely.

And the three men raided at night. It seems that the king of Yan was good at making suggestions - "

Although there is a saying that there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, even if they fight to protect the king of Yan, they can't say that the king of Yan is wrong, but the death of the two sons together is a great blow to any father.

Ji Xiu was estranged from King Yan and could understand it.

"Later, after his majesty ascended the throne, Ji Xiu finally got another daughter. However, he may have been injured on the battlefield in his early years, hurt his body foundation, and grew older. Then he didn't come out again." Wu TSUO finally said.

After hearing this, Xu Mingyi knew it in his heart.

"I see."

Then he looked at Wu Tsui and said with some admiration: "young master Wu is far away in Ningyang. He knows everything about officials in Beijing and even these unknown old things. It can be seen that he knows a lot --"

She always admires people with a lot of things in her mind, perhaps because... She doesn't have it.

But in this life, she will try her best to make progress, listen, read and learn more.

Suddenly she praised her so much, Wu Tsung coughed uneasily and said in an as if nothing had happened: "these are nothing."

What others need to learn, he also needs to learn. What others don't need to learn, he should do his best in mathematics. From small to large, always.

When he was young, he felt a little wronged. When others played, he was either reading or practicing sword, or listening to his grandfather and uncles talk about history chess.

His mother said that he cried and complained about it several times, but seeing that it didn't work, he stopped making trouble later, but thought of ways to cheat and play tricks.

I accidentally knocked over the candle and lit the book today. Tomorrow I pretend to have abdominal pain and can't practice martial arts——

When you're older, you can't really settle down until you're seven or eight years old.

Because at that time, he knew that he was different from others. As the grandson of Dingnan palace, he had what others could not have, and should also bear what others did not bear.

Xu Mingyi can roughly imagine how he came over when he was young. At this time, he can't help sighing in his heart - it's only because her grandfather treated her too indulgently.

But it's very rare for her to grow like this under such connivance.

Think this is a good embodiment of natural aptitude?

After thinking for a while, Xu Mingyi looked at Wu Tsui and said, "young master Wu, I have one last question to ask --"

Wu Tsung moved her eyebrows.

Why is it the last one?

Does Miss Xu think he is a person with poor patience?

The young man reflected for a moment in his heart and came up with an answer - he has always been reluctant to write on topics that he considers useless.

"You still need to wait here for the news of Qingyang temple. Just ask what Miss Xu wants to ask."
