He wants to plan for his future in advance and he wants to be transferred back to the capital.
There will inevitably be huge obstacles in this process.
Due to the conflict between the Supreme Emperor and the current new emperor, the Zhen family in Jinling City became increasingly violent.
They unscrupulously devoured any property that could make money, and even the money bags of established nobles like the Xue family were ignored.
After failing to win over him, he actually started to take action on the Xue family's property.
This gave Xue Jue, who had already moved his main industry to the capital, a reason to move.
Xue Jue's secret letter to the new emperor contained an accusation filled with tears and snot.
He said that his money basket was about to be robbed and empty by the Zhen family.
The other party not only asked him to donate political support funds, but now he was very greedy and wanted to take over the Xue family's ancestral property.
In order to ensure that the Xue family would not fall in his hands, Xue Jue humbly begged the current emperor for protection.
And he is willing to hand over all the Xue family's salt-related properties in Jinling City to the emperor's inner treasury.
And Xue Jue didn't ask for much, just that he could return to the capital to reunite with his wife and children.
He had lived alone in Jinling Mansion for nearly five or six years as a bachelor.
It’s time to live a happy life as an ordinary person with a wife and children on the hot bed, right?
When His Majesty the Emperor saw this almost rogue letter, the scene of an imageless wealthy businessman crying on the ground appeared before his eyes.
This made the new emperor dumbfounded, but when he thought that the other party could give up millions of dollars just for peace, his heart softened a little.
It's okay to let Xue Jue come back.
In contrast, there was another person's movements on his desk. The emperor really didn't expect that some people really didn't love power.
Lin Ruhai's position is certainly far inferior to that of a feudal official, but in the south of the Yangtze River, if nothing else, there are no officials who can check and balance him.
If he were a person with a slightly evil heart, he could be domineering and domineering in his office.
But now all Lin Ruhai's movements show that he is preparing to leave office.
It's not that he doesn't work anymore, it's just that every piece of work he does is to let him see that he wants to clean up this mess for the emperor, so that he can send his true confidants to take over.
of.
If this is an ordinary person, it is inevitable that he will be resentful and passive in his work.
But this Lin Ruhai, the emperor sighed, thinking that when his father was in office, this person also performed well. Thinking of this, the emperor's impression of Lin Ruhai became a little better.
He is a diligent person and would never do anything treacherous.
If Jiangnan was sorted out and his unwilling sixth brother could be restrained... The emperor put aside the secret report sent from below, and it was not impossible to transfer it to his side for reference.
It was Xue Jue and Lin Ruhai who showed firm surrender that allowed the emperor, who was not bad at all, to let go of them, two old ministers of the Supreme Emperor.
In the third month after His Majesty the Emperor received Xue Jue's request letter, that is, in the spring of the next year, the Xue family in Jinling finally ushered in the biggest turmoil for the entire family.
Xue Jue, who was supposed to be in increasingly poor health in the original work, now has nothing to do and is moving to the capital with the huge wealth of the Xue family.
The patriarch of the Xue family belongs to Xue Jue, and there are no suitable candidates for the other branches.
His words were an imperial edict from the clan, but when he set out, he also brought two of the direct descendants of the Xue family, his cousins, to the capital.
His younger brother went to sea, and a storm arose, capsizing a boat full of people.
Not to mention almost all the family property was lost, and they had no real elders left.
He left two young children behind, struggling to support their branch of the industry. Normally, Xue Jue's people would help take care of him, but if he left the capital, Mai Fan looked at Xue Pan, who was about the same age as Xue Pan.
Tadashi and Xue Baoqin, who was several years younger than Baochai, sighed and took the two children with them.
Anyway, the Xue family has a great business and will not be short of food for these two children.
In addition, just before his cousin left, Xue Baoqin had just arranged to marry the son of a certain official in Jinling County.
When Xue Baoqin is older, he can just pay the Xue family's dowry and marry him to Jinling.
Then, after receiving the letter, Aunt Xue, who was waiting for the master to return home, saw two poor little ones.
"Oh, what's going on? Let people come in quickly."
At this time, Aunt Xue could only feel distressed and thought about arranging a place for others to live.
When Mai Fan came back from school, he found that his father had entered the capital. The story has completely changed.
Xue Jue, who was originally in poor health or had been cured, was safely standing in the capital. Not only was the Xue family's property not destroyed by this playboy, he also retained all of it.
It was originally several years before Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin, who came to the capital to join Aunt Xue on business, now appeared in front of them early, and their in-law, who was already the minister, had only just met him.
Xue Baoqin gets engaged.
Calculate the time...
It's not yet time for Xue Baochai to come to Beijing, so he can get down to business on his own first.
Mai Fan has turned a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window. His father is not as free as he is.
The Wang family, which had been inactive for nearly five years after Aunt Xue came to the capital, suddenly became active because of Xue Jue's sudden arrival in the capital.
Now the head of the Wang family, Wang Ziteng, sent a message to Xue Jue.
This uncle, who never believed that his brother-in-law would abandon the Jinling property, wanted to get an answer from Xue Jue.
"What do you mean?"
Xue Jue, who was holding the tea, smiled: "What does the second uncle mean by asking??"
"You clearly know that the clans, industries, and retreats of the four of us are all in Aurous Hill, but you, a very important person, withdrew from it. So how can we proceed with what we planned in the first place?"
Xue Jue stopped laughing when he heard this.
Wang Ziteng is now the emperor's most popular minister of war and commander, but Xue Jue is not afraid of him.
The current war on the country's border is not ordinary and is in an increasingly strong situation.
It doesn't matter that Wang Ziteng holds a lot of military power. The old emperor trusts the four major families because they are all his old subordinates.
But when the new emperor took office, you clung to the military power and refused to let go. What do you want to do?
In Xue Jue's opinion, he figured out that he was once just as stupid as his second uncle.
