Chapter 326 Why are you excited about my father taking a concubine?
When the He family heard what he said, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would even want to shout: "There's no need to send this idiot back."
He Shoutang has now become the new head of the He family, and they are very satisfied. At least this time, he has preserved the prosperity and wealth of the He family for hundreds of years.
Unlike the four major families in Nanzhou City, all their property disappeared without a trace overnight and became prisoners.
"Your He family has been in Zhongzhou for a hundred years, and the young master is now in Beijing. I can't see you in person. All matters will be discussed by the head of the He family and I. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to us."
They don't dare to be dissatisfied.
Everyone lowered their heads, but their eyes looked around at the black armored men wearing black armor and broad swords hanging on their waists.
These people are all murderous.
If they were even slightly dissatisfied, they might be dragged out and chopped down the next moment.
Even if I have a lot of complaints in my heart, I don't dare to say a word, for fear that disaster will come out of my mouth.
Situ Yan nodded with satisfaction and took out a secret letter from his sleeve: "Before entering the city today, I received a letter from the young master."
The He family members sitting on the left and right sides straightened their bodies, and the backs of their palms were covered with sweat.
Are you planning to annex their He family?
Although they had already prepared to spend half of their family property to ensure safety,... they still couldn't help but feel pain when they thought of this half of their family property.
If it were not for the eldest son He, he would have made his own decision and sought refuge with King Kang.
They don’t have to be like today….
When they thought of this, their hatred for Mr. He rose to a higher level.
He Shoutang knew his uncles very well. Even if his good eldest brother returned to the He family, without the protection of his identity as the young master of the He family, he would definitely not have a good life in the rest of his life.
The man who was once arrogant and threatened that he was a bitch has since fallen into the quagmire. When he thinks of his dead third brother, he feels extremely happy.
"General Situ said, as long as we can do it, we will definitely do it."
He Shoutang asked pretending to be sad.
Situ Yan looked at the others indifferently, and the others immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, we all listen to the master of the family."
As long as they can save the lives of their whole family and hundreds of people, they are willing to spend money and eliminate disasters.
"Before entering the city, I have seen the sincerity of your He family." Situ Yan said with a smile.
Good guy, half of the He family's property consists of hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.
This is only half of it.
After the Jiang family took the throne, what did they lack most?
What is lacking most is money.
Daliang's national treasury has long been squandered, and when the treasury is empty, these one hundred thousand taels of gold are an urgent need for the Jiang family.
In addition, the properties of the five major families were confiscated before, and the national treasury suddenly became full.
Sure enough, these aristocratic families, with centuries-long foundations and several generations, have accumulated astonishing amounts of wealth.
The hundreds of thousands of gold were probably a false figure reported by the He family. The exact amount of the family's assets can only be known by confiscating the family and exterminating the family.
Hearing his words, the He family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that they have been discussing how to use 180,000 taels of gold to avoid disasters. They are very satisfied with this amount.
If the one hundred thousand taels of gold is gone, then it will be gone, leaving the green hills without fear of running out of firewood.
Moreover, this young lady does not seem to be a murderous person, and she promised that in the future, the children of the He family will be able to enter the court without exception.
The He family has been in business for generations. If there are a few officials in the family, it will be a great honor for the ancestors.
"I have good news to tell you. Our young master has entered the capital. Emperor Kangxi has set himself on fire in the Jinluan Palace."
What!
The He family was shocked on the spot, so fast?
It was only reported a few days ago that Yiyang drank poisonous wine, and now it is so fast that even the arrogant King Kang has set himself on fire.
It is a certainty that the Jiang family will be firmly established.
"The young master feels that in the central part of the capital, all the major families are mixed together and each has his own agenda. So he decided to let your He family come forward, and the four major aristocratic families in Nanzhou City will go to the capital from there. Together with the four major aristocratic families in the capital, Feng and Lu
, Fan, Zhu and Wei restrained each other."
This is what Ye Yunzhou means.
As early as when he led his troops to conquer Zhongzhou, Ye Yunzhou had already expected that the He family in Zhongzhou would be defeated.
Driven by interests, the He family will definitely agree.
Although the He family has been stationed in Zhongzhou City for hundreds of years, how can the small Zhongzhou City compare with the four major families in the center of power?
In the eyes of the aristocratic families like Shangjing City, the Zhongzhou He family was just a businessman with no reputation.
And the aristocratic families in the capital have huge roots, and a single move can affect the whole body.
If Jiang Yingxiong is most afraid of these aristocratic families after he becomes emperor, the court has already been infiltrated.
Therefore, if the Jiang family wants to completely control the power in the court, they must find another way out, and supporting other aristocratic families is the best way.
"Young Master can trust our He family, so our He family is naturally willing to help."
Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. In the struggle for power, if you are accidentally caught, one party will lose power in the fight, and the other party will not only have their family property confiscated, but at worst, the whole family will suffer misfortune.
If you win, as long as you don't rebel.
As long as the Jiang family's wealth lasts, so will the He family's power and wealth.
Moreover, the person sitting on the dragon throne now is named Jiang. The He family is willing to become the sword of the Jiang family. With the Jiang family behind them, the outcome is almost certain.
Situ Yan nodded with a smile and picked up the tea cup: "In the future, you will be able to gain power in the court. I hope you will remember this."
"General Situ is easy to talk to."
Everyone in the He family couldn't help laughing.
He Shoutang was so excited that he finally had a chance to show off his skills.
Which man doesn't want to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister?
…
The fire burned for three days and three nights before it was put out.
The palace servants found the jade seal and a burnt corpse in a pile of ashes.
When the palace servants presented the jade seal, Jiang Yingxiong discussed with Jiang Mubai and Baozhu in the Xuanhe Hall how to deal with the former officials and concubines.
In particular, the departure and retention of the concubines of the previous dynasty was very important.
Behind each of these concubines, there is a big family supporting them.
Some people advised Jiang Yingxiong to simply stay in order to appease the major families and officials in the capital.
Some of them still hold opposing views.
These concubines were all concubines of the previous dynasty. If they had the intention of murdering the emperor, it would be impossible to prevent them.
For a time, Xuanhe Hall was like a vegetable market, with constant quarrels.
There were two people sitting next to Baozhu. Ye Yunzhou and Situ Moyu sat on each side. They took advantage of others not paying attention and grabbed a piece of pastry with their little hands and stuffed it into their mouths.
He couldn't speak clearly and complained to Ye Yunzhou in a low voice.
"They have been quarreling from morning to afternoon. Nothing came out of the quarrel. You tell me... whether my father can take concubines, why are they so excited?"
Ye Yunzhou rolled his eyes speechlessly.
