Chen Kan was silent.

Because he found that he had never considered things in the direction that Chang Ning had said.

What he thought about was always to use the power of the Hou Mansion to help Hua Shi in the future.

But he never thought about what Zhu Zhanyan's future should be.

At this moment, he was reminded by Chang Ning, and he was shocked to realize that now is not the time when Grandpa Tai divided the kings of the world.

He doesn't have to worry about Zhu Zhanji, because Zhu Zhanji is destined to inherit the throne and become the most noble person in heaven and earth.

But Zhu Zhanyan, he couldn't stand by and watch.

If he, a teacher, only helps Hua Shi and doesn't help Zhu Zhanyan, then how should he face the younger Zhu Zhanyan?

If you even help Zhu Zhan Yan together, how can you help?

So, it's a paradox.

Either they don't help each other and leave them to fend for themselves, or they don't care about both and don't do the same thing.

It was impossible to leave them to fend for themselves, and the disciples he had worked so hard to teach were not to keep them out of the court.

Chen Kan has high hopes for each of them, and only hopes that their future will be brighter and brighter.

But he really can't manage both.

After Zhu Zhanji inherited the title of King of Han, in terms of identity, he was already a first-class noble in the world, what could he help him, it was impossible to really help him snatch Zhu Zhanji's throne, right?

Chen Kan's thoughts suddenly became a little confused.

Seeing that Chen Kan was silent, Chang Ning couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Have you figured it out, husband?" ”

Chen Kan nodded, but there was still a look of disapproval on his face.

Chang Ning sighed slightly and continued: "Do you think that Yun Niang entered our family's clan just to spend time, right? ”

"Isn't it?"

Chen Kan asked blankly.

Suddenly so angry that Chang Ning stretched out his finger and pointed it at his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Pig head, isn't my husband very smart on weekdays, why has he become so stupid now?" ”

Chen Kan patted Chang Ning's finger away dissatisfiedly: "You should tell me, why is it stupid to be a husband?" ”

Chang Ning glanced at Chen Kan, and then whispered: "Yun Niang is a widow, but before I met you, have you heard any bad rumors that Yun Niang had with a man?" ”

"I've never heard of this before!"

"That's right, I haven't heard of it, how can you hear it, and she is a woman's family, and now her reputation is also tainted by you, you don't want her, who else can she marry, do you really bear to let her be a widow in her twenties to seventy or eighty?"

Chang Ning was dizzy with a question.

For emotional problems, Chen Kan has always had a long reflex arc, but he is very dull.

So now, he just thinks it's weird.

What does Yun Niang's widowhood have to do with him?

When did you tarnish his name again?

Seeing the blank look on Chen Kan's face, Chang Ning couldn't help but pat his head.

She knew that what she had said was in vain.

After a while, Chang Ning took a deep breath and said lightly: "Husband, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the back house, you still have to support the façade of our family, after all, you have to believe in the concubine body, and you won't let your disciples suffer." ”

"Well... All right! ”

Chen Kan admitted that he was persuaded by Chang Ning.

Because of the matter of the back house, he really doesn't understand.

Seeing Chen Kanying, Chang Ning got up and left, leaving Chen Kan alone to sit in place, unable to sort out the chaotic thoughts.

Chen Kan sat for a long time, and finally decided to believe Chang Ning.

At this time, Yun Cheng's voice sounded outside the courtyard: "Master Hou, someone from Nanjing is here!" ”

Chen Kan took the opportunity to leave those complicated things behind, got up and followed Yun Cheng to the guest hall.

People from Nanjing will naturally not be people in the official face.

Instead, the people who went to Nanjing on a mission returned.

As soon as Chen Kan stepped into the classroom, the matchmaker hurriedly took Wu Di to get up and salute.

"Master Hou, fortunately, the 134 members of the Feng family in Suzhou have been slaughtered, and the heads of the Feng family have been divided into three parts and sent to the Su family in Jiangning, the Zhao family in Shaoxing, and the Zhou family ......in Yuhang."

The matchmaker knelt on one knee and calmly stated the course of the mission.

It's not like killing so many people, it's like killing a bunch of useless insects and ants.

Chen Kan listened quietly, and there was no expression on his face.

For such a thing as murder, he has no psychological burden now.

More than a hundred lives were not enough to make his heart fluctuate.

What's more, they assassinated first, since they disregarded the rules of officialdom and took the lead in resorting to such dirty methods, then don't blame Chen Kan for retaliating in the same way.

After a while, Chen Kan said lightly: "Good job, didn't leave any flaws, right?" ”

The matchmaker shook her head: "No, even if the other party knows that it is our family's handiwork, but without evidence, it will not pose any threat to our family." ”

"That's okay, it's hard this time, after I go back, give the brothers a few days off, play a good game and relax, and recuperate by the way, Ben Hou thinks that those people will not just give up."

Chen Kan said, but there was an indifferent look on his face.

If the other party retaliates against him from above the court, he may still be a little more afraid.

But if he played this kind of yin damage method, Chen Kan had not been afraid of anyone.

The 20,000 White Lotus Cultists who were killed by Chen Kankeng, as well as Liu Futong, Tang Xian'er, and Buddha, can all prove it.

The matchmaker nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Master Hou, your subordinates can save it." ”

Chen Kan stopped and was about to send off the guest, Wu Di, who had not spoken, suddenly knelt down in front of Chen Kan, and bowed to the ground with five bodies: "My subordinates, thank you Master Hou for your success!" ”

Chen Kan looked at the matchmaker in surprise, the matchmaker pursed her lips and explained lightly: "Wu Di's heirs have been made into people by the Feng family when the mission to assassinate the Hou Ye failed, and this time, the heads of the Feng family's descendants were cut off by Wu Di himself. ”

Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, looking at Wu Di who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly had some complicated feelings.

Because he's going to be a father soon.

He really couldn't imagine how angry he would be if his heirs, not to mention their heirs, even if they were disciples, or even familiar people, were abused by others.

If there really is that day, he estimates that with his character, he should directly perform a trick for the entire Ming Dynasty to live with the sky.

After a while, Chen Kan said lightly: "Mourning, get up." ”

Wu Di kowtowed Chen Kan a few more times, and then stood up expressionlessly.

"Go ahead, those who really do things for Ben Hou, Ben Hou will never be treated badly."

Chen Kan said lightly, and saw that the matchmaker's eyes suddenly complained.

When her tiger and wolf words were about to be spoken, Chen Kan pointed to the door and took the lead in speaking: "Get out!" ”

"Oh!"

The matchmaker took Wu Di and turned around step by step, Chen Kan leaned lazily on the couch, slowly began to review, and thought about the possible follow-up impact of this matter.

The matter of slaughtering the Feng family, no matter what aspect it is, the Hou Mansion is in charge, so Chen Kan doesn't care about letting them know that he did it.

even deliberately threw the heads of the Feng family to the other three families, the purpose was to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey.

But this matter has been done now, and the two conveniences have come to an end.

So they still have to prevent the dog from jumping off the wall.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Kan still decided to strengthen the guards of the Hou Mansion first.

At least until his child is born safely, the peace of the Hou Mansion cannot be broken.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Kan found someone to call Zhang Dong, and after Zhang Dong whispered a few words in his ear, he got up and walked to the study.

The influence of the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan is very great, and Chen Kan is not afraid of them coming to Yin, he is afraid that they will attack him or his close people from the court.

In the final analysis, Chen Kan has been far away from Nanjing in recent years, and his foundation in the court is not deep.

In the court, the only reliance is on Fang Xiaoru, the teacher, and Zhu Di's favor.

Therefore, above the court, the power he can use is indeed not much.

But Chen Kan cares about a lot of things, the bank that has just been on the right track, the treasure banknote division, the ordnance superintendent, the military academy, the Five Cities Terracotta Division, etc., are all Chen Kan's hard work over the years.

If they choose to attack these departments, Chen Kan is really a little unguardable.

Because these departments are all in Nanjing, and these departments, except for the Army Academy, are all in Nanjing.

If something goes wrong, he's really out of reach.

Chen Kan wrote down all his thoughts and thoughts, thought about it, and chose to give it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's head is relatively big, and he can handle things.

And these things are not only Chen Kan's hard work, but also Zhu Di's hard work.

Although these departments are still in their infancy, the benefits they bring to Daming are already visible to the naked eye, and Zhu Di is reluctant to let these departments become victims of his struggle with the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan.

After sending the letter, Chen Kan wrote a serious letter, the content of which was very simple, asking Zhu Di to set up the Dongyi Factory.

That's right, Chen Kan planned to let Zhu Di set up the East Factory in advance.

Because Chen Kan felt that if he wanted to deal with those so-called gentry and wealthy families, there was no better candidate than eunuchs.

Whether it is Jinyiwei or the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, they are all a group of people with political demands.

But eunuchs are different, and the only appeal of eunuchs is the emperor.

Chen Kan has been thinking about this for a long time.

It stands to reason that Chen Kan, as a new young man who has accepted new ideas in the new era, should not have a good impression of the secret services in the East Factory and the West Factory.

It shouldn't even be mentioned.

But as the so-called butt decides the head, if Chen Kan is just an ordinary courtier in the Ming Dynasty now, he doesn't want the appearance of Dongchang.

Because only in this way can he dig the corners of the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind and use it to strengthen himself.

But he has put too much effort into Daming now.

It doesn't matter if it's his own feelings for his family and country, or because it's his in-law relationship with the Zhu royal family.

Now everything the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan have seriously stepped on his bottom line.

He can tolerate those people earning their own benefits, but they should never stop Chen Kan from opening the Age of Discovery.

Compared with what the Donglin Party did in history, Chen Kan would rather share those benefits with those murderous eunuchs.

Because the money is in the hands of the eunuchs, when the country has no money, it can still kill pigs and eat meat, as powerful as nine thousand years old, and the emperor can still decide his life and death with a word.

And the money went into the hands of the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan, and if they wanted to take it out of their hands again, they could only follow King Li Chuang.
