Chapter 459: Farewell to Jinling
Desires are hard to fill, and in the face of interests, few people can be truly content.
Although Ye Xun had promised the Xu family a share of the profits of sea trade, in fact, the Xu family also had its own fleet.
In this way, if you take a hundred percent from the government, you are relying on your special status to operate alone, and the benefits you get are not ordinary.
To put it bluntly, the Xu family's idea of taking advantage of the imperial court has not yet changed, so whenever Ye Xun touches the interests of his family, it will cause a backlash from the Xu family.
In the inner study, Xu Hongji sat on the recliner with his eyes slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The little grandfather Xu Wenjue stood beside his father, and he was the one who told his father the news of the changes in Shuzhong just now.
Seeing that his father had not said anything, Xu Wenjue couldn't help but say: "Father, the assassination of the King of Shu is strange, and at this time, the eunuch sent a prayer post, and the son boldly guessed that the eunuch should be going to Sichuan, so what should we do?" ”
Xu Hongji raised his eyes and glared at his son, and said, "You! It's always so uncontrollable, what are you panicking about, wait for him to come."
"Father, isn't it equivalent to cutting off my family's wealth by saying that the eunuch got that franchise? If this goes on for a long time, who in Jiangnan will still take my Xu family in their eyes in the future? ”
There are also several other powerful families in Jinling in the Xu family caravan, and all along, no matter in that aspect, the Xu family is the leading boss in Jiangnan, as Xu Wenjue said, if the Xu family blindly tolerates Ye Xun so blindly, I am afraid that it will not be long before no one takes their family seriously.
Xu Hongji looked at his son who was a little angry, and asked lightly, "Then what do you say to do?" ”
Xu Wenjue obviously pondered this question for a day or two, and when he heard his father ask, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said: "If the eunuch enters the Sichuan, he can't get out again, then won't all the problems be solved?" ”
Listening to his son's idea, Xu Hongji's eyes couldn't help shrinking, and he said in his heart that it was really a father and son, and this rabbit cub actually thought of it with Lao Tzu.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel relieved that there were successors to the Xu family, and he could rest easy.
But I couldn't help but ask, "Who are you going to find to do it?" ”
"Yongning Xuanfu makes luxury Chongming"
Hearing the name of his son, Xu Hongji nodded with satisfaction, then closed his eyes again and said softly: "I'm tired of my father, it's up to you to decide what to do with young people!" ”
"The son understands, the son retires!" ...
In the past, when he returned to Liaodong in the capital, Ye Xun's bags were getting more and more bloated, but this time it was different, except for the two more women around him, one big and one small, not to mention that there were fewer and fewer bags, and even the guards were much less, and when he left Jinling, there were only two hundred guards with him.
If you enter the river from Jinling, the waterway can also be passed, but the speed of sailing against the current is obviously not comparable to that of the land route, so Ye Xun did not choose a comfortable boat.
Ten miles outside the city, Cheng Yu, who came in the dust, simply made the handover, and personally went out of the city to send Ye Xun.
The time is too urgent, Ye Xun also knows that it is a little difficult for Cheng Yu, but there is no way, Jiangnan is handed over to others, and he is not at ease at all.
There was only a pot of old wine on the stone table in the long pavilion, and Ye Xun and Cheng Yu sat opposite each other.
Compared with Ye Xun's apologies, Cheng Yu didn't feel anything wrong, he was in the prime of life, and it was also the golden age of his career, and under Ye Xun's protection, he was able to show his strengths, so no matter what Ye Xun asked him to do, he thought it was right.
"Brother Cheng, I hurriedly found you, it is indeed a little difficult for you, I left Xiang Biao behind, remember that no matter what time it is, safety is the most important"
Ye Xun, a strong dragon, with its fierce momentum, overpowering the heroes of Jiangnan, if Ye Xun can be given time to govern slowly, those potential threats will eventually be swept away by him, but there is too little time left for him.
It can be said that what Ye Xun left Cheng Yu was a pot of raw rice, which needed Cheng Yu to digest it slowly, and this depended on Cheng Yu's ability.
"Father-in-law, but please rest assured, there has been a lesson, Yu knows how to protect himself, but father-in-law, you are not better than other places in Shuzhong, the road is extremely difficult, the seedlings are arrogant and barbaric, and the place where you live is rampant with miasma, and your father-in-law still needs to be cautious."
Before Cheng Yu was included in Ye Xun, he had traveled to many places, including Shuzhong, and was very impressed by Shuzhong.
"Last night, I visited Xu Hongji again, this person is scheming, Brother Cheng must deal with it carefully, and the reaction to my entry into Sichuan this time, the reaction of the Xu family's father and son is also a little intriguing."
At the banquet last night, Xu Hongji's performance was quite normal, but Xu Wenjue was a little too enthusiastic.
Strictly speaking, Ye Xun's relationship with the Xu family is not good, but Xu Wenjue's enthusiastic performance always gives Ye Xun an unreal feeling.
If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, and his intuition told Ye Xun that the Xu family was probably brewing some conspiracy, but unfortunately he didn't have time to deal with it.
Hearing Ye Xun mention the father and son of the Xu family, Cheng Yu's face also became solemn.
He pondered for a moment before he said, "If the Xu family really has any abnormal behavior, can the subordinates deal with it themselves?" ”
The Xu family is a prince of the same kinship as the country, not only in Jinling, but also in the capital also has a deep-rooted relationship network, which can be said to affect the whole body, and must be dealt with carefully.
Ye Xun's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, and he said in a deep voice: "Jinyiwei's new commander of Nanzhenfu will arrive soon, Tian Ergeng has already reported to me secretly, this person is his absolute cronies, you can use it with confidence, if the Xu family is really not willing to be lonely, when dealing with them, remember to keep it secret, and I will do the aftermath."
If you want Cheng Yu to run Jiangnan well, you must give him absolute power, so that he will not be constrained.
Ye Xun's attitude towards the Xu family made Cheng Yu have a bottom in his heart, as for other things, it is much simpler, Cheng Yu has been an official in Jinzhou and Dengzhou, whether it is opening the sea and trade, or the construction of sailors, he can be regarded as experienced.
After talking about some other aspects, Ye Xun finally got up, bowed down to Cheng Yu, and said: "Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, sometimes I really miss the days of fighting side by side in Liaodong, Brother Cheng take care, on the day of my triumph, you and my brother are drinking and talking."
Cheng Yu was a little lacking in emotional expression, and he didn't have time to stop Ye Xun from giving a salute, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed in return, his lips moved, but he didn't say a word, but unconsciously, his eyes were red.
Ye Xun knew Cheng Yu's personality well, laughed, patted Cheng Yu's shoulder, turned around and walked out of the pavilion, stepped on the war horse, and beat the horse away.
Looking at Ye Xun's distant back, Cheng Yu finally murmured softly: "You have a confidant in life, and there are no regrets in death, take care of your virtuous brother"...
If it weren't for the time travel, Ye Xun would still not believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world.
So Ye Xun never allowed people close to him to say death and death at every turn, because saying too much like this is really effective...
