Chapter 43 How difficult the road ahead

Even if Guoansi only got a name in the court meeting, there is no idea at all, and there are many difficulties, but this does not affect the mood of Xu Jinghong and his brothers to celebrate and finally take the first step. They have been aggrieved in the capital for more than a month for this day. This time they can get a right opportunity, and their team is officially holding an official position in the court. Naturally, everyone will have a good birthday.

So after Xu Jinghong returned to his residence and announced the results, everyone was overjoyed, and then quickly decided to go to Fanlou, the largest restaurant in the capital, to have a drink at night.

At dusk, the lanterns are on for the first time. The nightlife in Daliang City has officially begun. The children of those noble families are most interested in going out at this time. Whether they are drinking and playing in a serious restaurant or going to the brothel casino, it is a manifestation of their own value.

And Fanlou, the most towering five-storey building in Daliang City, has become the preferred target for these people. Often every night, this is a difficult place to find, not noble, or willing to spend a lot of gold and silver, and it is difficult to enter.

Originally, as Xu Jinghong, it was impossible to drink happily in Fanlou unless they were strong. But today, they were able to enter it smoothly, and they were able to drink and have fun in a spacious and luxurious elegant room on the fourth floor, thanks to Zhao Zong, who had already identified himself. Although the imperial power has fallen to the bottom, ordinary merchants still dare not give King Jing a face. He wants an elegant room, which can be made except for some special guests.

Looking at the beautiful dancer dancing there and facing mellow wine and delicious food, Xu Jinghong couldn't help laughing at Zhao Cong sitting next to him and said, "So it seems that this power is indeed a good thing."

"Hey, who said no. Otherwise, how can those families continue to suppress the imperial power and desperately take their own benefits? This power is really an intoxicating thing, even more than the most mellow wine and the most beautiful woman.

But this power is also a double-edged sword. When you are powerful, everything is fine; but once you have a problem, you are afraid that you can't live an ordinary life. And this is not the saddest. The saddest thing is the people who are still on the road to power, such as me..." Xu Jinghong felt it.

Zhao cong looked at Xu Jinghong with a smile: "Why, are you starting to worry so soon?"

"In the past, I was in the dark, even if some people wanted to get along with me because of hatred. But now, I have jumped to the bright place and become the target of many people's jealousy, and the next road is not easy. It's not that simple for Guoansi to stand up. I don't even know where to start.

Zhao cong listened to his words and showed admiration: "It seems that you are still very sober, which makes me very happy. If you forget because you showed a big face at the court meeting today and don't pay attention to everything, I will look down on Brother Xu's chest.

"Yes, for you and these brothers, the real test has just begun. The water in Daliang City is extremely deep, and sometimes under the calm surface, there is also an undercurrent that can devour everything. Now that you have reached this point, you should be careful.

I don't want to say this to him, but Xu Jinghong shook his head: "No, cautious and conservative is not my character, nor is it my way to face the crisis. I like to attack. As long as someone wants to trip me secretly, I will fight back. This will not change even in the beam.

After listening to his words, Zhaocong was stunned, and then said with a wry smile, "You still don't change your true colors. Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about how your national security division should stand up. If you want to set up a new government, but there are thousands of clues. You have to run to the officials, households, soldiers, and even the Ministry of Industry, but you have no backers in Beijing, which is really a little troublesome.

"What, what was decided at the court meeting, does anyone dare to oppose what the emperor said?" Xiong Geng next to him heard the conversation between the two, so he also put his head over and asked.

Xu Jinghong sighed helplessly, but did not answer. The two of them are very clear. Now the emperor has nothing left to say. If he really wants his words to become a reality, he still needs some opportunities. In fact, those governmentmen did not know how to make Xu Jinghong difficult, but just make some excuses for some things, which is enough for them to drink a pot. Maybe in a few years, the government of this national security department may not be able to stand up.

"However, I think Zhong Yonghou valued Brother Xu very much. Can you use this to open up the situation?" After pondered for a while, Zhao cong suddenly proposed a solution.

Xu Jinghong shook his head: "I really don't want to have anything to do with the Xu family anymore. If I really have to rely on them to take this step, how can I settle the original account with them in the future? So I want to start with the Ministry of Public Affairs.

"The Ministry of officials... That is the sphere of influence of the Chu family. Although the strength of the Chu family is only five out of seven, it is the most rudderful. I'm afraid it may not be as you wish." Although Zhao cong hasn't asked anything about the dynasty over the years, he sometimes likes to leave the capital to travel around, but he still knows the major forces in Beijing.

"Although it is difficult, we still have to try it. Maybe we can really open the gap from here.

"Bright, I remember. I heard that you and the son of the Chu family still have some festivals, which may be even more detrimental to your plan."

What he said made Xu Jinghong smile, but he was a little sure. He can feel the woman's attitude towards herself on the Qixi Festival. If there is really no other way, maybe she can really open the gap from this point. Although this behavior is suspected of being soft, it can't be cared about in order to achieve what it wants.

Just as the two were talking deeply, the brothers over there suddenly shouted: "The team is today to celebrate the banquet that you can finally enter the court as an official. Why do you only care about talking to King Jing there? Let's give you a toast first!" Several large glasses full of wine appeared in front of him.

Xu Jinghong temporarily put these problems aside and started drinking with his brothers. Soon, even Zhaocong was not spared and was drunk. For a moment, the whole elegant room was not elegant at all and became extremely noisy. Only let those dancers be at a loss for a moment. I don't know whether they should continue or quit...

is the opposite of the lively scene in Fanlou, which is the purity of the Chu family's mansion. Chu Ling, who has changed his casual clothes, is also reading a book in the study. However, after a while, he put down the book and paced in the spacious study.

After walking back and forth more than ten times, he suddenly rushed outside and ordered, "Go and call Ling Qin here."

In a short time, a man who was similar to him but dressed as a younger scribe came in: "Brother, what did you ask me to do?"

Chu Ling also smiled and asked him to sit down before saying, "I can't make up my mind about something, so I want to discuss it with you."

"Oh? But is there a problem with Xu Jinghong's attitude?" Chu Lingqi asked with a smile.

"The fifth brother is really well-informed, and that's exactly what happened. Originally, I was firmly opposed to letting such a humble guy gain a foothold in the court, but today's situation is a little strange. The emperor, who has always paid little attention to political affairs, suddenly opened his mouth, and the people of the Xu family... Even Xu Zhengnian, who is half-reate, came forward. This matter is indeed strange.

"Yes, the official department you are in charge of is the key to whether the Guoan Division can stand up quickly. I think Xu Jinghong will come to find his brother soon. So have you changed your mind now?"

"This is exactly what embarrass me." With a sigh, Chu Ling also continued: "The attitude of the Xu family is like this, but the Ye family and several other families can't see the plan clearly, which makes me really don't know how to choose. If he goes to the military department or the household department first, and then comes to find me after he has an attitude, I can follow him. But if he came to my official department first, what kind of attitude should I have? Is it to let him pass smoothly, or to embarrass him?

Chu Lingqin muttered for a while: "Our Chu family has always followed the law. As long as there is a small profit with us, we will follow the power. But this time it is really hard to see through. But I want to remind my brother a little bit.

"Oh, but what is it?"

"The hatred between Xu Jinghong and the Fang family has been deeply knotted. And there has always been some competition between the Fang family and my Chu family. Why don't we take this opportunity to take this Xu Jinghong out and fight with the Fang family?

"You mean... we can kill people with a knife? Let Xu Jinghong, a sharp boy, fight with the Fang family, so as to achieve the role of consuming the Fang family?

"Exactly, even if you can't really hurt the Fang family, you can also disgust them. The Fang family seems to want to replace our Chu family recently. We must not let them succeed!"

"Yes, and it's just our official department, this Guoan Division may not be able to do it, so it doesn't matter if you just give him a hand!" After thinking about it, Chu Ling also made such a decision.
