Chapter 122

Mining rights

Xiao Jun wanted to find his father to persuade his mother Xiu'er, but as soon as he entered the study, the eldest master handed over the letter from the second master, and talked about the recent rumors in Pingyang City.

"For all forces, the orientation of the Xiao family, the most stakes are King Yan and the prince, the son guesses that it should be the prince, yes, father, it must be the prince who saw that our attitude was unclear, so that people made rumors and forced the Xiao family to get on his ship, this rumor will only shake the wait-and-see attitude of all forces towards King Yan, and there is no harm to King Yan, for these rumors, father must not be careless, we have to think of a perfect strategy, it seems that the prince does not want the Xiao family to waver anymore, this is to force us to act"

"Last time, your grandmother was blessed by the Holy Grace and went to the palace to see Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing hinted to your grandmother that Emperor Jin was the prince of the prince, if this is the case, we can also push the boat along the river, but it is just like the prince's wishes, and I am always unwilling."

"Father can't be careless, Sister Jing is young after all, she has not gone through strong winds and waves, and she can't see the mutual tilting of the major forces outside the court, the undercurrent is turbulent, my sister admires Emperor Jin, so I think that Emperor Jin's power is strong, as long as he supports it, there will be no problem, but my sister doesn't know, since ancient times, the most fickle is the emperor, you can turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain, and my sister doesn't know that the battle for the throne has always been your life and death. After all, the Queen Mother is not Emperor Jin's biological mother, once King Yan sits big, unites the power of the Queen Mother's relatives, and Emperor Jin asks the prince again, I'm afraid I can't help it? Killing one's father and brother is also common in the royal family, after all, how many people can withstand the temptation of boundless desire and supreme power? Father, King Yan has always been ruthless, if we protect King Yan, the prince will be powerful, maybe he can still live, but if we protect the prince, then King Yan will never be merciful, if this is the case, I am afraid that the foundation of the Xiao family for several generations will be ruined, we still have to wait and see.

"Jun'er is also reasonable, your grandmother and I both think that now is not the best time to choose whether to protect the prince or the king of Baoyan, or wait, but the situation is pressing, just because your second uncle was confused for a while, and now we are no longer allowed to be silent, this water has been muddled, and we are afraid that the relationship between us and the prince will be blurred."

"If you can delay it for a few days, you will always come up with a good way"

"That's right, Jun'er, the last time you mentioned the matter of the southern mining rights, the day before yesterday, Concubine Jing had sent someone to pass on the letter, Emperor Jin has acquiesced to the fact that this mining right can be controlled by forces other than the four major families, but this force must swear to be loyal only to Emperor Jin, not to participate in any of the forces in the court, it seems that Emperor Jin is really disappointed in the four major families, especially now that rumors are spreading, saying that my Xiao family has protected the prince, so Emperor Jin is forced to break the pattern of these four families dominating the economy of Daqi, Jun'er, we have taken the lead in this mining right, come back this time, Let's take care of this matter and put the rest of the matter on the back foot."

"My son also plans to do so, this time I went to Qingzhou to deal with business, my son by the way transferred a group of people and funds from the industry over there, secretly sent to the south, in the name of the Shangguan family, the surname of my grandmother's mother's family, first purchased land on that side, made some preparations, just wait for my grandmother's birthday as soon as the son went to the south to sit in person, father, my son is trying to ask you for instructions, taking advantage of this time in Pingyang, my son wants to transfer a part of the funds from the north into the new property in the south, so that I can also share the risk of my Xiao family, so as not to lose power, being caught all of them"

"My father is also thinking about this these days, I thought that your grandmother's birthday is coming, and everything will wait for the birthday, but Concubine Jing said that the matter of mining rights cannot be delayed, and I am afraid that it will change later, Jun'er will put down everything else these days, let's do these first, by the way, I will transfer some of the people who are born in the dark industry in the north, and secretly send them to the south with the funds, once the mining rights are in hand, it will require a lot of manpower and financial resources, and if the transfer is frequent in a short time, it will arouse suspicion, and follow the flow of money. will guess that the mining right is also the property of my Xiao family's shadows, then we will make enemies with the Ouyang family."

"Okay, son, let's do it."

After talking about business, the eldest man suddenly remembered that he didn't pass Jun'er over, Jun'er came over, there must be something, so he asked casually:

"Jun'er, come here, is there anything else?"

When Xiao Jun heard this, he remembered the purpose of his coming today, and he was a little hesitant, he didn't know how to say this, he lowered his head and thought about it, raised his head and said to his father:

"The son came over, and there was no other big thing, just thinking that the son and his cousin should be good since childhood, growing up together, this is the most affectionate, the son has always regarded her as his own sister, and the two of them have no defense against carrying anything, but they are both older in the future, the son has now married a wife and concubine, and then he and his cousin are so indistinguishable from each other, the son doesn't matter, but I'm afraid that it will ruin my cousin's reputation. I just wanted to come over and ask my father to talk to my mother in private, and let her persuade my cousin, in the end, men and women are not kissed, and it is always good to avoid some suspicions, my cousin will first take these days, and wait for Jun'er to go to the south after grandma's birthday, and then let my cousin toss in the house"

The eldest lord listened to Xiao Jun's words and knew that Jun'er finally couldn't stand this cousin, and the eldest lord was also a little ashamed of this Xiu'er acting too out-of-line, but he was finally the daughter of the imperial history of the dynasty, and the niece of the old wife Urging, he really couldn't say anything.

A few days ago, when I had dinner, I saw that Xiu'er was always sitting next to Jun'er, he looked really angry, and he was holding his breath when he ate all the food, and he always felt that this was too corrupt for the Xiao family's style, so he made a head in front of the old lady, and the old lady actually hinted that although the Xiao family did not protect the prince at present, it was not clear with the prince, if the prince really lost power in the future, Jun'er or Na Xiu'er would be a concubine, or a wife, and he could temporarily climb the big tree of King Yan to fight for a respite for the Xiao family. No one forced her, and we elders should not be able to see it, so he has never turned a blind eye to these things these days. Seeing Jun'er mention it today, I really stumped him for a while.

The eldest lord thought for a long time, and said ambiguously:

"Jun'er is right, it's just that your grandmother is about to celebrate her birthday, Jun'er is also very busy these days, not necessarily home every day, let's make do with it first, after your grandmother's birthday, Jun'er will be in the south, Xiu'er thinks it's time to go back to the Imperial History Mansion"

The old man has been around for a long time and is a sentence, if you are annoyed, go out and hide on the grounds that you are busy, anyway, I won't talk to your mother about it.

When Xiao Jun heard this, he looked at his father in a daze, his father was also afraid of his mother?
