Originally, Brother Jin didn't need to be released at such a time. After all, he was different from other poor students. He had two backers, Wei Yan and Lin Hai, in the middle of the capital. Guan'er, even if he stays in the capital and climbs up step by step, his road to promotion is much easier than others.

But when Brother Jin was still hesitating whether he should go abroad or stay in the capital, Wei Yan and Lin Ruhai found him at the same time, and told him to leave the capital as soon as possible.

Moreover, they are not allowed to return to Beijing for at least six years.

Six years, that is, two terms as officials.

Brother Jin was naturally puzzled, but both Wei Yan and Lin Ruhai were ambiguous, and it seemed that the reason behind this couldn't tell him this little official who had just entered the officialdom.

But he thought that neither Wei Yan nor Lin Ruhai would harm him, so he could only agree to them.

Soon, he packed his bags, and took his confidants directly to the Jiangnan area to take office.Because he got the favor of the emperor when he was a waiter and lecturer before, Brother Jin's official position in Jiangnan this time can be regarded as a high-ranking official

The prefect of Jinling.

As soon as he arrived in Jinling, Brother Jin received a letter from the capital.It was also after reading the letter from the capital that he deduced a shocking result from the vague words.

Both the emperor and the empress had symptoms of varying degrees of severity, and both of them could only be alleviated by medicines, but they could not be cured.

As the supreme leaders of the Great Xia, the emperor and the empress, once the news of their health problems spread, the capital, which was originally peaceful under the rule of Emperor Yonghe, would probably be in chaos, just like the dozens of times the emperor had experienced before he ascended the throne. The turmoil of seizing the heirloom for the rest of the year was ordinary.It may even be because of Emperor Yonghe's physical problems, the turmoil of seizing the throne that he experienced for more than a few decades may be compressed into just a few years. If you're not paying attention, it's possible...

Brother Jin subconsciously squeezed the letter tightly, his face grim and ugly.

He is only 15 years old this year, even if he is talented and inexperienced, not only is he likely to fall into the trap carefully designed by those old foxes in the following capital turmoil, but he is even more likely to be calculated and used as a pretext by others. Attack Dingweihou Mansion and the raft of the Lin family.

Under such circumstances, it is the most appropriate choice for him to leave.

What is even more fueling is that today, a few years after the death of the Supreme Emperor, the ministers of the court and the central government handed over memorials to ask for the establishment of the crown prince.Emperor Yonghe's body had problems under such circumstances, and his thoughts went astray uncontrollably.

Emperor Yonghe directly released the words when he was in the court, saying that he deeply felt the danger of his father taking over the heir when he was in power, and the trouble between father and son was so sad and embarrassing, so he decided to establish a heir in secret.And under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, he directly asked people to put the imperial decree with the name of the prince on the plaque in the center of the Shang Dynasty Hall.

After that, Emperor Yonghe unabashedly began to contact some monks and Taoists.

But insiders like Wei Yan and Lin Ruhai knew that there were still two monks with real abilities imprisoned deep in the palace.Although Emperor Yonghe hasn't tried to find that monk yet, who can guarantee that he can remain sober and rational when his condition becomes more serious, and remember what that monk is?Who can guarantee that when it comes to the hope of immortality, Emperor Yonghe's original idea will still be as stable as a rock?

Wei Yan not only wanted to send Brother Jin away from the capital, but even wanted to send Fu Li out of the capital too.

It's just that Fu Li has a certain relationship with that monk, if he left the capital rashly, it would easily attract the attention of the emperor.Once caught by the emperor, no matter what you want to do in the future, your hands will be tied.

What's more, Emperor Yonghe is just obsessed with Buddhism and Taoism now, and he has not lost his mind. If Fu Li really leaves the capital...

In the eyes of the emperor, this kind of behavior can already be called disrespectful.Even if the emperor wants to punish all the crimes in Weihou's mansion, no one will stop him.

Brother Jin almost fell down on the chair: "How could this happen?"

Emperor Yonghe has only been on the throne for a few years, why did he get sick and was told by the imperial physician that he might not live for a few years?Moreover, both the emperor and the empress fell ill together, so there was no room for a buffer.

Thinking of the various turmoil that the capital will face next, brother Jin's heart can't help but twist into a ball.

But before that, Brother Jing welcomed a visitor

After the Xue family heard the news of Jin Ge'er's promotion to the prefect of Jinling, they immediately sent a letter of greeting to Jin Ge'er's mansion in Jinling.

After years of separation, Brother Jin's memory of Xue's family has become very blurred. If he hadn't remembered well, he might not even be able to remember who Xue Renming who came to greet him was.

Fortunately, Brother Jin's memory is not bad.

He immediately asked Xue Renming to come in.It's just that although Jin Ge'er is considered a high-ranking and powerful man in Jinling now, he and Xue Renming are two generations, not to mention that he and Xue Renming's daughter still have a verbal marriage contract.After the two sat down, they looked at each other, and couldn't find a suitable topic for a while.

After all, Xue Renming is a businessman, and he is very familiar with dealing with people, so he quickly thought of a suitable topic: "Master Lin is young, why didn't he stay in the capital, and instead chose to take a foreign post to Jinling? Although Jinling is a good However, because it is so good, I am afraid it will not be easy for you to make achievements in Jinling. After three years, the official rating will be at most above average, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Although Xue Renming is only a businessman, he often deals with officials. He grew up listening to the glorious history of the four major families, so he is naturally aware of the tricks in officialdom.

If you want to be promoted and make political achievements as soon as possible, naturally it is best to go to places that are neither rich nor poor.If you are too rich, although the tax is high, it cannot be regarded as your political achievements, unless you can do better on the original basis of these places.

But even if you think about it, you know that this is too difficult.

But what if you go to such a very poor place?It will only be more difficult than working in Jiangnan and other places, because there are many unruly people in poor mountains and bad waters, and it is difficult to make political achievements in poor mountains and bad waters.

Therefore, places that are neither rich nor poor are the best choices, because the base is not high and it is easy to make achievements, and because they have a solid foundation, they will not be helpless when they get to the place.

Under such circumstances, Jinling became a not-so-good choice.

Especially for Brother Jin.

From Xue Renming's point of view, Jinling is even a very bad choice based on Brother Jin's family background and ability.

Others came to Jiangnan and other places for the sake of prosperity in Jiangnan. Even if the rating is not good, they can make a lot of money by relying on three festivals and two lives.One hundred thousand snowflake silver from the prefect of the Qing Dynasty in three years is not just talk.

Even though Emperor Yonghe hated corrupt officials and made officials and businessmen dare not do too much, but human nature is greedy, and some people can't help but reach out to the gray area.Even if these people have never been corrupt, being an official in a rich place like Jiangnan naturally has better conditions and a more comfortable life than being an official in other poor places.

But with Brother Jin's family background and the wealth he owns, he doesn't even bother

To commit corruption.Even if he went to a poor place, with Brother Jin's wealth, he could still live well there.

Even if it is not as good as Jinling, it will definitely not be able to suffer...

After a pause, Xue Renming's fiery eyes calmed down, and he looked at Brother Jin full of scrutiny

No, this young master is used to living a good life and is unwilling to lower his standard of living, so he just wants to rely on his ancestor's shadow to dawdle in the officialdom, right?

Xue Renming hesitated for a moment.

If it was before the fall of the Xue family, Xue Renming would not have felt that there was anything wrong with such thinking, but after the fall of the Xue family, he had thought clearly that no matter how big the family business earned by his ancestors, there would always be a day of exhaustion. Don't live up to expectations, everything is just in vain.

Who knows, the current Dingweihou Mansion and the Lin family will not be the next four big families?

Brother Jin didn't know that Xue Renming had thought so much in this short period of time, but the marriage between the two families was only a verbal agreement and could not be finalized, so naturally he couldn't tell Xue Renming why he didn't stay in the capital.

But he has nothing to say about why he came to Jinling to work: "Because I was too young, and I didn't decide whether to take a foreign job or stay in the capital at the beginning. Even, my parents and I were more inclined to I stayed in the capital, so I didn’t say hello to the official department. It’s just that some things happened later, and foreign appointments became the best choice, but now I go to the official department, and the official positions in the places I want to go are already available. If I have a candidate, I can't cut him halfway."

Those places that are suitable for making political achievements have naturally been snatched up long ago. On the contrary, places like Jinling are not willing to come here if they really want to make a big career in the official career, so they become those officials with connections. The "good place".

But just because there were too many people competing for it, no one could be decided until the last moment, so even if Brother Jin was one step behind, he could still fight his way out of a group of interested people and snatch Jinling.

On the contrary, there are many official positions in poor places that no one is willing to take over for the time being, but Brother Jin is young, and all relatives, friends and old friends are worried about going to such places, and secondly, although he wants to avoid the situation in the capital, he is unwilling He is a blind man with his eyes open, and Jiangnan and other places are well-informed, so it is quite convenient to communicate with the capital.

Xue Renming was a knowledgeable person, and he didn't ask him any more about what happened in Beijing that caused Brother Jin to leave the capital, let alone where he wanted to go.

Brother Jin stayed with Xue Renming for a meal. After the meal, Xue Renming quickly decided to leave.

Before leaving, Brother Jin asked his servants to bring a lot of gifts to Xue Renming: "These are all for the daughter of the family. Miss Xue is still young, so it should be fine. But if Master Xue minds, please also……"

"I don't mind, I don't mind." Xue Renming smiled and took the wooden box containing the gifts into his hands. "My girl is still young, so there is no need to be too jealous. If she knows that these gifts are from you, she will be very upset." Happy."

Brother Jin shook his head and laughed: "Master Xue is serious."

When he met the little girl for the first time, the girl was only a little older. Now it is unknown whether he still remembers himself, so how can he be happy or not?

But brother Jin doesn't mind, after all, in his opinion, the age difference between himself and the little girl is really big, even if there is a verbal agreement now, there is a great chance that things will not work out in the future, and he has never Treat the little girl as a fiancée, but as a relative's younger sister.

Xue Renming was really happy, and he couldn't wait to hand over the wooden box to Xue Baoqin after returning home.

Xue Baoqin is also ten years old now, although she has not yet enlightened, but she has some understanding of the relationship between men and women, and when she heard that the gift her father brought back was from brother Jin, she blushed rarely.

But it was only for a moment, and soon she regained her composure, and put the wooden box on the bedside to read it when she was alone at night, then took the maid to Xue Baochai's yard.

In the past two years, her elder sister Baochai persuaded her aunt with the help of her parents, obtained the connections and roots left by her uncle, and then came forward as a woman to pick up the inheritance left by her father.

Although at the beginning it was inevitable that people would look down on her because she was a woman, and she would be tricked because she didn't know enough about shopping malls, but Sister Baochai was smart enough, and it took more than a year to finally sort out those businesses and rely on her own means After convincing those partners, in the first half of the year, Sister Baochai's business has started to make a profit, and the profit is increasing every month.

Although it is still not as much money as her father's monthly income, nor as much as her elder brother's ability to earn money, but considering the extra difficulties that Baochai's sister will encounter when she comes out as a woman, Xue Baoqin's admiration for Xue Baoqin is simply incomparable. Xue Biao's elder brother is several times more.

Xue Baoqin traveled with her parents, and her knowledge was far superior to that of ordinary people. She herself often came forward to help her father when he was busy with business.But with such good conditions, Xue Baoqin never thought of doing business by herself, even though her father once said that her talent in doing business and dealing with people is better than that of her brother Xue Biao.

Seeing Baochai's sister breaking the rules now, and even making a career on her own, her calm heart instantly became hot, so she often walked around with Baochai during this period, and made no secret that she wanted to do the same. I often learn from it when I want to do business.

Xue Baochai didn't have the idea of ​​self-preservation, but after realizing Xue Baoqin's intentions, she paused and hesitated: "Your parents are here, and you have an older brother to rely on, and your future husband-in-law will be a dragon and phoenix, why bother to show your face? "

Although Xue Baochai has broken the rules, she still thinks that after all the years of education and brainwashing, in her heart, it is the best way out for her husband to teach her children, and relying on her husband and son to obtain orders.

"I don't think it's good for you to come forward, but don't you need to consider what your future husband's family thinks?" Thinking that he has been taken care of by his uncle during this time, Xue Baochai urged, "Why don't you go home and ask?" Ask uncle and aunt, and then send a letter to the capital..."

After a pause, she looked at Baoqin and joked, "I seem to have heard that the prefect of Jinling came from the capital, and his surname is Lin... You two are so close, why don't you send a servant girl to ask him?" What kind of idea is it?"

Xue Baoqin heard a lot about Fu Li's deeds from her mother, and she didn't think Brother Jin would mind this, but she also thought that Brother Jin's background was complicated. Her mother-in-law didn't care, but it didn't mean that other people didn't care. So I hesitated a bit.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded, "Then I'll go back and ask my mother."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "If my uncle and aunt agree, and Mr. Lin doesn't object, then you can just come to me and I will give you everything I have."

Xue Baoqin laughed heartily: "This is really great."

After hearing Xue Baoqin's thoughts, Xue Renming and Xue Qinshi looked at each other, both a little undecided.

Xue Renming always takes his family with him when he goes out to do business, and the family of four has never been separated.Xue Renming has never restrained women in the accident world. As long as Xue Biao is present, he will never ignore Xue Baoqin favorably. Sometimes he will take Baoqin to gain insight when negotiating business with foreigners.

Xue Renming, who acts like this, naturally doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with women coming forward to do business.

With a lot of horizons, naturally it will not stop Xue Baoqin from doing business.

but……

After Xue Renming hesitated, he looked up at Xue Baoqin: "When I met Lin Zhifu before, although I didn't talk much, I can see that he is a person with open thinking, and he has the jewels of Dingwei Houfu in front of him. I think it's wrong for a woman to come forward to do business. Then Dingweihou can do the act of marrying Dingweihou's mansion into his family, so I don't think he will have any objection to you coming forward to do business."

This was a good thing at first, but the way he looked at his daughter was quite sad.

Xue Baoqin was not stupid, and quickly figured out the key point: "Do you think that the biggest obstacle for my daughter to come forward to do business comes from the Lin family?"

Xue Qinshi said: "Master Zhifu is from the Lin family after all, and you will probably live with the Lin family in the future. The good opinion of Marquis Dingwei and Madam Hou towards you is just icing on the cake. What will really affect your married life is probably still Master Shang Shu and Mrs. Lin."

She glanced at her still ignorant daughter, and sighed, "The Lin family used to be the family of Liehou, and it was also a scholarly family. I am afraid that the rules for the daughter-in-law..."

The two of them are well-informed, so they naturally know that the people who care most about women's manners in this world are those who have read poetry and books.So after hearing her daughter's plan, she immediately realized that it was not the Dingweihou couple who really cared about the woman's public appearance, but the Lin family couple.

Xue Renming looked up at his daughter with heavy eyes, "Baoqin, you, why do you suddenly want to start a business? I remember that you didn't seem to have such an idea before? Also, is doing business a temporary interest for you, or is it you? Do you really want to take this as a career that you will never give up for the rest of your life?"

Xue Baoqin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head after a long time: "I don't know, I just watched Sister Baochai do a good job in business, and then... I'm sure that I didn't feel overwhelmed for a while, but I couldn't guarantee that I would never give up for the rest of my life. "

How old is she, how can she be sure that she will walk a lifetime in the future?

Xue Renming breathed a sigh of relief: "If you say that doing business is a career that you will never give up for the rest of your life, we may have to return the token to Mrs. Hou. But since you don't think so, then..." He looked up at Xue Baoqin, "I will give you two years to study and practice with Bao girl, and let you confirm your true thoughts. After two years, you must give me a positive answer."

Two years later, Baoqin was only 12 years old, and she was still young, so it would be too late to keep her at home for a few years.

Xue Baoqin nodded solemnly: "My daughter knows."

Brother Jin didn't know what happened to Xue's family. He had no interest in a little girl, so he focused all his attention on government affairs and investigating the situation in the capital.

Fortunately for Brother Jin, Zhou Gong's gourmet chain stores have opened all over Daxia, and the traffic between the capital and Jiangnan is very convenient because of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It is not easy for him to know the news of the capital.

So in less than a year, Brother Jin learned a shocking news from Fu Li's staff in the south of the Yangtze River.

The eldest prince born to the empress was directly banned by the emperor for half a year because of a mistake.

In less than a month, news came out again in the capital, saying that the eldest prince was secretly designed by the second prince and the emperor's surviving brother, Prince Zhong'an. The lord hid from Jue, and was directly imprisoned in the clan mansion;

Naturally, the second prince, who was all in harmony with him, did not get well, and was demoted to a commoner by Emperor Yonghe in public. His behavior even affected his biological mother who kept her own life in the palace. Confinement is nothing worse than being thrown into the cold palace.

As soon as this matter came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

Because of this, the originally peaceful situation in the capital has completely torn apart the superficial calm and turned into a turbulent undercurrent, making people fearful.

The ministers who didn't want to get involved in Seizing the Inheritance were like the Wei Lin family and directly sent the most outstanding juniors of the next generation out of the capital. Some juniors who were good at causing trouble were even sent to remote places, lest they stay in the capital and be killed calculating.

But there are also many people who are greedy for the achievements of the dragon, and when they are sure that the emperor's face is not as good as before, they start to stand in line to bet one after another.After Emperor Yonghe found out about this situation, although he didn't say much, Wei Yan and Gu Xueshi, who knew it deeply, knew that he was very angry about it.

You know, Emperor Yonghe was a very cautious person.

So not long after, all the ministers who stood on the team in the face found that their old diers were directly lifted by Emperor Yonghe one after another. Not only were they lifted, but he was also severely punished.Although it was not as tragic as the destruction of the family, it is really scary that these people have been demoted one after another, and the juniors in the family have accidents one after another.

Seeing this, the officials of the DPRK and China could only dormant silently, not daring to do anything more.

As for the remaining princes, because they didn't know who Emperor Yonghe secretly set up the crown prince, they didn't dare to kill other people. Fight to the death.

It's just that this situation was broken again in less than a year.

The condition of the Empress and Empress is still under control. Although both of them are hard-working workaholics, it has had a bad impact on their health, but because the best doctors in the world are always on call, the Empress and Empress There is no major problem with his body.

But there was no problem with the empress, but the others did.

The second prince's concubine was originally the only noble concubine in the harem, but because she was implicated by the second prince, she was directly relegated to the concubine position. Not long after that, perhaps it was for balance, and perhaps it was to cast a blind eye on civil and military officials. The fifth prince's biological mother carried her to the position of noble concubine.

Unfortunately, the fifth prince is the most powerful and famous person among the officials, except for the eldest prince born by the empress.

And his natal family is on par with the eldest prince.

Although the eldest prince's biological mother is the empress, who is superior to his biological mother, the emperor quickly promoted him to the position of noble concubine

Although the family power of the queen and the imperial concubine is comparable, the mother family of the imperial concubine is more powerful than the queen's family because there have been several empresses.Adding and subtracting the two, the difference in status between the eldest prince and the fifth prince is equal.

As the eldest son, the eldest prince is naturally more liked by the emperor, and he is indeed talented and gentle, and he has the most supporters among civil and military officials among all the princes.

But not long after, something happened to the birth mother of the fifth prince who had just ascended the throne of imperial concubine for less than a year.

Because she poisoned a high-ranking concubine who was pregnant, causing her to have a miscarriage, she was directly imprisoned by the empress.But before the queen could find the emperor and ask him to issue an imperial edict of punishment, the noble concubine hanged herself in the palace directly to prove her innocence by death.

What is even more surprising is that she left a suicide note before she died, not only saying that she was wronged, but also pointing the culprit at the queen.

The queen was grounded.
