He never expected that the elder would guess his ambition easily.
This made him value the elder's ability and vision even more.
He also felt quite helpless towards his sister, Mrs. Wang.
The files provided by the eldest master clearly show that Mrs. Wang really fell in love with money, and dared to make any money, and even committed evil in the name of the eldest son.
It was extremely embarrassing for Wang Ziteng to be caught by the big boss and brought to the table.
Is the Wang family short of money?
When something happened to the late Prince Yoshitaka, it was indeed a particularly difficult time.
In order to keep the Wang family from collapse, his eldest brother Wang Zisheng was crippled and was soon driven to Jinling to fend for himself. In the end, he died of depression.
But even so, the Wang family also lost a huge amount of money, and with the help of Xianrong Guogong Jia Daishan, they barely escaped.
At that time, the Wang family's momentum had declined to a certain extent, and it was in a state of turmoil, and life was very difficult for the next few years.
But it was only a few years of hard life. With the help of the late Duke Jia Daishan, Wang Ziteng quickly established a foothold in the military and was promoted successively. The Wang family's momentum increased again, and naturally they no longer had to worry about money.
Getting richer and richer day by day.
Wang Ziteng felt that he had not treated his sister Mrs. Wang badly. She was pampered and pampered before getting married. When she got married, her dowry was also very generous. Although it was not as good as Shilihongdou, it was not much different.
Later, Mrs. Wang was in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for nearly twenty years. In addition to the support of Jia Mu, the support of his second brother also cannot be ignored, right?
Ordinarily, the amount of money in Mrs. Wang’s hands can definitely be calculated in millions!
Even if she loses the right to manage the inner palace of Rongguo Mansion, the amount of money she has accumulated is still an astonishing amount.
With such a rich family background, Mrs. Wang should not have much pursuit of money, right?
But the truth hit Wang Ziteng in the face. Mrs. Wang not only loved money, but she also loved it crazily!
From the files produced by the elder, we can see that Mrs. Wang was absolutely lawless in order to make money.
He knew about the usury. According to Wang Ziteng's idea, Mrs. Wang really wanted to make money. With his support, she would directly lend money to wealthy families. Not only would the income be generous and guaranteed, but there would also be a valuable mortgage to offset it.
risk.
There won't be the kind of huge accidents that happen to poor people who can't pay back the money and their families are destroyed. It's a good thing not to damage their reputation.
However, Mrs. Wang short-sightedly entered the civilian loan market, causing outrage and not making much money. She also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to tarnish the reputation of the great master. It was simply stupid.
I don’t even think about it, the eldest master is now the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion and is responsible for the daily affairs of Shuntian Mansion. How can such a little trick be hidden from his eyes and ears?
If she hadn't been scrupulous, Mrs. Wang would have been so simple and crude in the dark, directly labeling an important official of the imperial court as slanderous, and Mrs. Wang would definitely not be able to live with it.
Just kidding, now that the big boss has become "powerful", even if Wang Ziteng wants to deliberately target him, it will be extremely difficult. How effective can Mrs. Wang's methods be on him?
Fortunately, the eldest master is quite 'fastidious' and did not directly target Mrs. Wang behind closed doors. Instead, he invited him, the head of the Wang family, to directly defeat Mrs. Wang's spirit through an alliance of interests.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's dejected look, although she felt very uncomfortable, Wang Ziteng had to admit that this was the best way.
"Second brother, take your wife back. I have something to discuss with Brother Wang and the two cousins from the Shi family!"
After knocking off Mrs. Wang's anger, she could at least calm down for several years. The elder was temporarily satisfied. He waved his hand and directly drove away Mr. Zheng and his wife. As for the resentful look in Mr. Zheng's eyes when he left, he didn't pay attention to the rest of the family at all.
My thoughts are with the next few.
Political second child is not a toy!
Just now, the eldest man directly targeted Mrs. Wang. Although his words were not mean, they were not in a good tone. As a result, the second son, Zheng, sat beside him and remained silent, allowing the eldest man to take Mrs. Wang's heart away.
Such a cold temperament made Wang Ziteng and Shi Jia Shuanghou very unhappy.
Seeing that the eldest master has settled the family affairs, what they want to talk about next is of course an important matter that affects them personally and their family. Naturally, they don't want the guy like Mr. Zheng to listen.
Who knows if this guy will be leaked and cause trouble to a few people and the family behind him?
Judging from the posture of the elder, it is obvious that whether it is Wang Ziteng, the two princes of the Shi family, or the families behind them, there is a problem, and several heads of the family need to discuss and confirm directly. It is really inappropriate for the political elders to get involved in such an occasion, which is also called
People are unhappy.
"Go and call Lian Er to bring tea and water!"
The eldest master then ordered the young man to call Lian Er, and his intention to train him was clear.
Wang Ziteng and Shi Jia Shuanghou didn't say anything, but they valued Lian Er a little more in their hearts.
Lian Er himself is also quite excited. It is his first time to be involved in the core affairs of the four major families. From now on, he will be considered a member of this inner circle.
I suppressed my excitement, served tea for the eldest gentleman and others, and stood aside to make a backdrop. Such a measured performance naturally satisfied a few people.
"Brother Wang, please don't remember what happened before!"
The elder said directly; "Your sister's temperament is really a bit extreme, and her behavior is too lawless..."
"No need to say more, I understand in my heart!"
Wang Ziteng interrupted the elder's words and said directly: "Let's get down to business!"
"With the momentum of our three families, it will be difficult for you, Brother Wang, to get to the top!"
The elder said bluntly: "With our current official positions, our influence is too low. If we want to impact the cabinet, it is simply beyond our power!"
He didn't say this just now. It is considered a secret among the heads of the family. It is no joke if it is spread out. It will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
"I know!"
Wang Ziteng said calmly: "But at this time, do I still have a way out?"
No way out?
How could there be no way out?
It's just his ambition to become one of the top ministers of Da Qi.
The elder did not reveal the truth and said leisurely: "Brother Wang, you want to form an alliance with the other eight princes through the relationship of Rongguo Mansion, but I'm afraid it's impossible!"
Snapped!
The lid of the tea bowl in Wang Ziteng's hand fell to the ground. He looked at the elder with a surprised look. He was so shocked that he couldn't help but said, "How did you guess it?"
This was the biggest secret in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be revealed by the elder.
"It's very simple. The four major families can no longer help you rise to the top, so you naturally need to find external help!"
The elder said calmly: "Don't count on the civil servants. They are hostile to all officials who did not come from the imperial examination. The military attachés are the targets of their suppression. Only the Xungui Group is the best target for Brother Wang to take advantage of!"
Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Wang Ziteng did not hide anything and admitted directly; "Yes, I do want to have a good relationship with several core high-level sects of the Xungui Group, but I have never been able to get in!"
Lian Er and Shi Jia Shuanghou were stunned when they heard this. They were shocked by Wang Ziteng's boldness and at the same time were impressed by the eldest master's acumen.
Damn it, how did the lord know this? They didn’t hear anything about it before!
"I'm afraid it's impossible. The current heads of the Eight Dukes' families, who are still powerful in the court, have guarded the military department tightly, not allowing other forces to have a chance to intervene, nor do they themselves.
Courage to get involved in other things!”
The elder shook his head and said in denial: "Besides, the relationship between the government and those families is very ordinary. There are no real interests tied up, so any friendship is empty!"
“How do you know if you don’t try it?”
However, Wang Ziteng was full of confidence and said slowly: "Those children in the Beijing camp have all received special care from me, how can I show some dignity!"
Haha, face-saving!
Seeing Wang Ziteng's attitude, he obviously had great confidence in his choice. The elder was too lazy to continue to pour cold water on him. He turned back to look at the shocked Shi Jia Shuangshou and said calmly: "Let me tell you something, make an appointment with Jinling."
Clan members, don’t bring disaster to the family!”
Disaster?
Wang Ziteng and Shi Jia Shuanghou were startled, and Shi Laosan even asked anxiously: "What happened to Enhou?"
"Have you three ever heard of the protective talisman in Jinling City?"
The elder didn't answer but asked instead, his eyes were bright and threatening.
Protective Talisman?
Wang Ziteng and Shi Jia Shuanghou shook their heads, but Lian Er next to them looked thoughtful.
"Have you heard of Lian Er?"
The elder saw the change in the expression on Lian Er's face and asked directly: "If you have heard it before, you might as well read it out and ask your three uncles to listen to it!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lian Er answered respectfully, cleared his throat and said, "I also occasionally heard that the so-called official amulet actually refers to our four wealthy families from Jinling!"
"Jia is not fake, Bai Yu is a horse for Tang Jin!"
"Afang Palace is three hundred miles away, but one person in Jinling cannot live there!"
"There is a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea, so the Dragon King comes to find the King of Jinling!"
"In a good year, there is heavy snow, and pearls are like earth and gold like iron!"
Having said this, Lian Er wisely stepped back and continued to be invisible.
"This doesn't seem to be anything, it sounds quite impressive!"
It was obviously the first time for Wang Ziteng and Shi Jia Shuanghou to hear such a statement. They found it somewhat novel and did not think there was anything wrong with it at all.
Just looking at the way the elder frowned, it was obvious that such remarks were quite inappropriate. Shi Laoer said solemnly: "Henghou, if you have any worries, just tell me. We are all relatives, so there is no need to hide it!"
"Efang Palace is three hundred miles away, but one person in Jinling cannot live there!"
The elder recited softly, with a serious face and said coldly: "It's such a big tone. Even if the Shi family has a large population, it can't be described like this, right?"
"Why can't you describe it like this!"
Shi Laosan was not happy. A large population was not only a burden for historians, but it was also an advantage for them.
"Read more books!"
The elder sneered unceremoniously: "What kind of place is Afang Palace? Is it a place where the Shi family can live? Even if you want to die, this is not the way to go!"
That update in the early morning, I forgot the time
