Chapter 2382 The decision of the He family
"I really didn't expect that Lin Lixuan had such strong strength and background. This time I was really misleading!" He Wenquan sighed, but his eyes were full of joy.
No wonder his eyes were filled with joy. Who told Lin Ze to have a engagement with He Wanting from the He family? Although He Wenquan was a little unwilling to do so before, it was different now. He wanted to let his granddaughter marry him now.
"Yes, this Lin Lixuan's shadow is too deep. I didn't expect that he would have such strong strength and background. To be honest, when I got this information, I thought it was someone else joking with me." He Wenquan's eldest son He Zhirui also said with a smile, his eyes were also full of joy.
With such a strong son-in-law as support, the future of the He family can be imagined.
"Father, brother, but there are some problems here," said the third son He Zhijia.
"Oh, what's the problem?" He Wenquan asked with a smile.
"Father, the royal family is not very happy. It seems that they are discussing how to deal with this matter now." He Zhijia said the thing that was most worried about in his heart.
He was very happy that he had a powerful son-in-law like Lin Ze in his family, but when he was in the Chu court, he still had a deep sense of awe for the royal family.
"Don't worry, the royal family dare not treat Li Xuan as he doesn't have that strength and no such determination." He Wenquan said with a smile.
Seeing that his third son was still a little puzzled, he explained in detail what he had thought before, especially the dangerous situation facing Chu State now. Now, He Zhijia felt completely relieved.
"So father, are we urging Wanting and Lixuan to get married? The sooner the marriage is, the better? Otherwise, if it takes longer, there may be problems?" He Zhirui suggested.
In the past, Lin Ze was just a boy who was not valued by the Marquis's Mansion, so no one would have any idea of Lin Ze. To be honest, the He family didn't care much about the marriage between his family and Lin Ze.
However, now Lin Ze's strength and background have come. Lin Ze is no longer the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion who is not valued, but a stock that has a bright future and will become the absolute potential of the sect leader of a super hidden sect in the future. No matter who it is, such a person will want to catch him.
Now the marriage between He Wanting and Lin Ze of the He family is no longer Lin Ze is climbing, but their He family is climbing, and it is still the climbing among them.
He Zhirui believes that there are definitely countless aristocratic families and royal people who are marrying Lin Ze. Therefore, if they don’t hurry up and handle the marriage with Wanting and Lin Ze, then perhaps the He family will not have the qualification to marry Lin Ze in the future.
"Well, this matter is indeed the most important thing now. Lao Wu, please remind the Hou Mansion about this matter and confirm the marriage as soon as possible. Do you know?" He Wenquan said to He Wanting's father He Zhihai beside him.
"Yes, father, I'll do it later." He Zhihai also replied with a smile.
In the past, he felt very sorry for his daughter's marriage to a "fool". However, now he is glad that his daughter is married to Lin Lixuan since childhood. Otherwise, such a good thing would be his daughter.
"Lao Wu, from now on, you should treat Wanting like a real father, and don't ignore her anymore." Looking at his fifth son, He Wenquan gave a piece of advice with concern.
He Wanting's status in the He Mansion is actually not very high. She was born by He Zhihai and an official prostitute. Therefore, you can imagine her status in a big family like He Mansion.
If He Wanting's mother Huang Yuan hadn't been considered a beauty, she had a very bad temper towards He Zhihai's temper. To be honest, He Wanting's treatment was much worse than now.
However, even so, He Wanting's treatment is still worse than other He family disciples. He Zhihai, the father, was just like that of his daughter, and it was extremely average.
If it were in the past, He Wenquan, the He family in power, wouldn't care about such a thing? But who has given Lin Ze such a strong background and strength now, and He Wanting is Lin Ze's marriage partner since she was a child, so her status will certainly rise sharply.
He Wenquan was also afraid that He Zhihai would be in trouble, so he reminded him in advance so as not to make mistakes at that time and make everyone unfavorable.
"Father, don't worry, the moment I received the news, I had already placed Wanting in Meihuayuan, and there were enough maids around me." He Zhihai replied with a smile.
He is not a fool. After knowing Lin Ze's true background, he would not know how to deepen the family affection with his daughter. So he moved He Wanting from the remote courtyard of the He Mansion to the Meihua Garden early on, which is one of the best courtyards in the He Mansion.
"Well, you did a good job this time, so I feel relieved!" He Wenquan nodded. He Zhihai's approach this time was very satisfying.
"Father, if things go like this, do you think we will be affected?" said the eldest son He Zhirui. He was even more rational. When others just saw the benefits of marrying Lin Ze, he saw some dangers inside.
"Well, this matter is inevitable. It can be said that when Li Xuan's real strength reached the emperor's ears, our He family had actually ended. In the future, our He family will not have much say in the court." He Wenquan said very directly, but there was no melancholy on his face, but there was a hint of relaxation.
"How could it be, Father, you are joking!" He Zhihai and He Zhijia asked with a change in their faces when they heard this.
"Last and fifth, you are not as good as your elder brother in this regard." He Wenquan was Yao Yao first, and then continued: "Li Xuan's strength and background made the royal family start to be scared. If it weren't for the lack of strength, the royal family would definitely be killing Li Xuan. As a family that married Li Xuan, do you think the royal family would still believe us? Since the royal family no longer believes in us, we can still stay in the court."
"Father, this..., this..." He Zhihai and He Zhijia looked unwilling. They had no doubt that they had reached their current status. Now He Wenquan told them that this is their limit, and it would be strange if they were happy.
"Father, you..." He Zhirui didn't care about this, but after seeing He Wenquan's current face, he couldn't figure it out.
"Rui'er, you are indeed smart and can see things very far, but you can't see them. If your father continues like this, the final result of our He family will not be very good." He Wenquan said to his eldest son He Zhirui.
"Well, it's just as you thought that I have been in the position of Minister of Revenue for my father for too long. For thirty years, the royal family has long been thinking of changing me. Once I am relieved of the position of Minister of Revenue, do you think you can still stay in the court well? The royal family will definitely start to vigorously cleanse all the relationships with father in the court when I step down. At that time, it will definitely be the first to be affected. So, in fact, even if the royal family doesn't attack you now, father will find some excuses to let you go to court in the next few years." He Wenquan said here, with a hint of loneliness on his face.
He also wanted to stay in the court, but the royal family had already become a little wary of him.
He Wenquan has been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for 30 years. During these 30 years, he has compiled a huge network of interests in the court.
In the past, the royal family might not care. Anyway, they had enough strength to suppress all instability. However, now the Chu State is full of turmoil, the power of the royal family has been greatly weakened, and its control over the court is getting lower and lower. In this way, the threat to the royal family is rising sharply. Therefore, for the stability of the royal family, for those who have a huge network of relationships in the court, the royal family began to get rid of it one by one.
Especially those ministers who have a deep relationship with the Confucian school were even cleaned up mercilessly. Although He Wenquan did not completely turn to the Confucian school, he still had a more or less unclear relationship with the Confucian school, so the royal family would not be polite to He Wenquan.
After hearing what He Wenquan said, He Zhirui, He Zhihai and He Zhijia were stunned. They would never have thought of it. In fact, the prosperous He family had actually been in infinite danger.
"Father, is it really so bad?" He Zhirui asked with panic on his face. He had felt something was wrong at home before, but he never expected that things would be so serious.
"Yes, things are only more serious than you think." He Wenquan nodded, and what he said directly knocked down the lucky mentality of He Zhirui and the other two.
"But now you can rest assured that our He family will leave the court at most, but will be silenced by the royal family. That will definitely not happen." Seeing the pale face of his three sons, He Wenquan no longer concealed it and said this with a smile.
"Father......"
"Father, you mean..."
There was a hint of complaint in the words of He Zhihai and He Zhijia, but as the boss, He Zhirui seemed to have thought of something.
"Yes, Ruier, you are smarter. With Lixuan, our He family no longer has to worry about their own safety. At most, the royal family will drive our He family out of the court." He Wenquan did not go around the circle and directly told the key points here.
"call!!"
