Chapter 763 The shadow behind (ten thousand words, asking for the moon
It was in this turmoil that Xiao Yu entered Haiyu City...
Xiao Yu was extremely angry that the Jiangnan nobles concealed their plan to frame Fang Jun and sent out their own soldiers to kill Fang Jun and Niu Zhuji. The Xiao family was the leader of the Jiangnan nobles, how could they allow such people to be out of control?
something happened?
But now that things have happened, Xiao Yu must show his presence again. While suppressing the Jiangnan gentry, he also makes them realize that in today's Tang Dynasty, only the Lanling Xiao family, and only he, Xiao Yu, can serve as the leader of the Jiangnan gentry.
, no one else can!
How to show your presence?
The most direct way is to wipe the butt of Jiangnan nobles...
Because the battle at Niuzhuji had such a profound impact!
The emperor was furious. If Fang Jun hadn't turned defeat into victory in the end, the Twelve Guards Army would have gone south along the canal to judge. By then, all the Jiangnan nobles would have been ruthlessly suppressed. Anyone who dared to resist would have been reduced to a fan!
Fang Xuanling was furious!
This seemingly good old man, after learning that the Jiangnan noble family shamelessly wanted to put his son to death, contacted his old colleagues and subordinates, and set off a strong backlash in various states and counties in Jiangnan! He had always been ignored by the Jiangnan noble family.
The foreign officials had a very tough showdown with the local officials this time. The influence of the current chief minister cannot be underestimated!
The most important thing is Fang Jun!
Xiao Yu knew Fang Jun's temperament very well. How could he not be angry when he was framed by the Jiangnan nobles? Once this stick started to take revenge without hesitation, one can imagine how miserable the Jiangnan nobles would be! This boy has an army in his hands.
, you may not dare to massacre on a large scale, but it is entirely possible to kill a few children of aristocratic families to vent your anger.
And now in Jiangnan, regardless of status or influence, the only one who can have scruples about Fang Jun is probably Xiao Yu...
As soon as he arrived at the Xiao family's residence in Haiyu City, Xiao Yu received news that the three major families had all mobilized to raise cash.
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very satisfied with Fang Jun's performance.
As soon as he was out of danger, he retaliated with fierce means as soon as he turned around, and he was able to control this retaliation within the acceptable range of all parties, so as not to cause large-scale turmoil. This son's political wisdom is indeed comparable to that of those in power.
A figure who has been immersed in officialdom for many years.
In the case of Niuzhuji, the Jiangnan nobles knew they were in the wrong, and the three families were the first to steal the navy's wood. No matter how hard Fang Jun tried to cheat them, these families could only swallow it silently.
Take this bitter pill.
Moreover, although each family's huge sum of 200,000 guan is enough to make every family suffer, this time the three major families have taken the blame for everyone. How can we have the nerve to stand by and do nothing? We have to bear some of it, so this is the case.
Come, Fang Jun gets a large amount of money, and everyone can afford it...
The control of the fire is the pinnacle of the art!
"Having a son should be like Fang's legacy... Fang Xuanling is so envious of others when he has a son!" Xiao Yu sighed with emotion in a low voice.
What is most important to a wealthy family?
Talent!
If a talented and talented back emerges from the sky, he can often push the entire family to a higher level with his own strength, and even lay a solid foundation that will last for a hundred years! But if a deceit comes from any generation, it is enough to think about it.
The whole family was dragged into the abyss of eternal destruction...
The Xiao family of Lanling has been noble for generations. Although the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, it only took more than ten years to rise again with the help of the connections and foundation accumulated by the ancestors. Unfortunately, it is still far from its peak.
what is the reason?
There are just no outstanding talents.
Xiao Yu is self-aware. His talents are average, and reaching his current position is already the limit. And among his descendants, they are mediocre and have no outstanding talents at all.
"I'm so envious..." Xiao Yu sighed again, regretting that the emperor first recruited Fang Jun as the emperor's son-in-law. Otherwise, wouldn't it be wrong to find a talented and beautiful daughter among the descendants of his legitimate daughters and marry Fang Jun?
Can you capture the most outstanding talent among this distinguished second generation?
Xiao's daughter is famous all over the world!
But I still can’t argue with the emperor...
"Seventh brother, the spokesperson of each family is asking for an audience outside the house." Xiao Yu's cousin, the Xiao family's spokesperson in Haiyu City, Xiao Ban, came to the inner hall to report.
Xiao Yu was actually the eighth son of Xiao Kui, Emperor Ming of Liang in the Southern Dynasties. However, Xiao Kui's second son died early and was not even named, so he was not recorded in the ranking. Xiao Yu became Xiao Kui's seventh son.
, there is no one older than him in the family, so they all call him seventh brother.
"Well, let them wait at the flower pavilion."
"promise!"
"Wait!" Xiao Yu stopped Xiao Ban, who was about to leave, and asked in a deep voice: "Earlier, a certain person had sent people to inform all branches of the family that they could not resist Fang Jun's actions in Jiangnan under any circumstances, and they would even try their best.
Xiangzhu. This time, various families tried to kill Fang Jun in Niuzhuji. My family did not participate in it, which is good. But why did we participate in stealing the navy's wood and was framed by Fang Jun? Xiao Ming was so tired
Lost your future?"
When it came to what happened later, Xiao Yu's expression became extremely severe.
Every talent must be the most important asset of the family. As a result, Xiao Ming, a second-generation man with relatively good abilities, suffered a lifelong stain because of a heinous act of stealing wood. He was extremely stupid!
Xiao Ban smiled bitterly, looked around, and saw the maids standing far away from the door, so he took two steps forward and whispered: "It is precisely because we did not get involved in the Niuzhuji incident that we have to join in this time.
Among them, the person who initiated this incident was Changsun Man, the nephew of Zhao Guogong Changsun Wuji, and Zhao Guogong's eldest son Changsun Chong also had some hands and feet in it. If our family flatly refuses, it will inevitably cause a rift between the two families, which will be difficult to make up. Therefore,
I made the decision on my own without informing you, Seventh Brother, because I was afraid that Seventh Brother would be forced by Changsun Wuji to take a stand, and he would not be able to change his mind in the future. If you didn't know about this matter at all, you would be able to handle it more calmly in the future."
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Ban approvingly, nodded and said: "This is a good job. I was just reckless for my brother, don't blame me."
Xiao Ban smiled and said, "How can you blame Seventh Brother?"
At this point, he suppressed a smile and said in a low voice: "Besides, the Gu family was also one of the initiators of the Niuzhuji incident... Yudi remembered the seventh brother's instructions and did not agree to the Gu family's proposal, let alone
We sent dead soldiers to participate. In order to give the Gu family a face, we agreed to steal the wood later..."
Xiao Yu's eyebrows furrowed, he patted the table in front of him in displeasure, and said angrily in a low voice: "What is the Gu family going to do? My family once ruled the south of the Yangtze River and ruled by dividing the river. Now it's not dead. All the troubles are there."
Think about what you should do and be a rich man honestly? Why not advance with the country and make your family prosperous? If troubled times come again in the future, there is nothing wrong with waiting for opportunities to compete! Today's Tang Dynasty is not the chaotic Sui Dynasty of the past.
The power of the country is increasing day by day, and the military is strong in the world. Anyone who wants to rebel will be seeking death! The Gu family is ignorant. If there is such a thing in the future, there is no need to worry about face. Just refuse categorically and draw a clear line with them. If the Gu family is still stubborn, they will
It won’t involve us too.”
Xiao Ban was startled: "The Gu family...isn't that the case?"
Xiao Yu sighed: "You just don't know some secrets about the Gu family... That's all, they are all old accounts. It's useless for you to know too much."
Then the maid washed her hands and face, changed into a set of thin and light silk clothes, and walked toward the flower pavilion like a rich man traveling in the mountains and forests.
As soon as I entered the flower pavilion, I saw people from all the families coming.
Seeing Xiao Yu walking in, everyone quickly stood up and saluted: "I've seen Song Guogong..."
Xiao Yu said with a smile on his face: "Haha, we are all a close family, why should we be more polite? Sit down, sit down."
It wasn't until Xiao Yu sat down at the main seat that everyone sat down one after another.
Then someone complained: "Song Guogong, you are here to judge, that Fang Jun is too much! How can Tangtang, the general manager, the Marquis of the Empire, use such rogue methods? Six hundred thousand yuan, our family will not be able to accept it in ten years
With so much land rent..."
Xiao Yu raised his eyelids and took a look, and saw that this person was Zhu Jian, the eldest son of the Zhu family, with a sad and mournful look on his face, and his heart skipped a beat.
The Zhu family loves money, and indeed the whole family shares this...
