[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

The angel announcing the decree was waiting in the main hall, and Qi Hong, Zhang Yu, and Wei Jiang accompanied Xue Xun to receive the decree.Tie Xingba had already surrounded the entire Nanchang City on the outside. Zhang Long led the guards in the mansion and waited in full force. The Xue Wang family and Xue Pan in the backyard were protected by Zhu Qing and Juan Bi, ready to evacuate at any time.

Xue Xun walked into the main hall, and the "boys" standing around serving tea were all strong and strong men, Xue Xun did not hide his guard and suspicion at all.

The imperial decree starts from the capital, from the north to the south, and assigns status to the established powers, justifiably bestows imperial positions, and rewards generously. Xue Xun knows all this, but don't think that the emperor is tolerant to others, and he will also be tolerant to himself. Xue Xun dare not have it Take a moment to relax.Seeing that Angel and his party only had a team of 20 people, he let them enter Nanchang City.Xue Xun cherished his own life very much, and he didn't dare to be careless since so many people in the Jiangxi faction depended on him.Now the emperor does not dare to reduce local power on a large scale to avoid an uproar in the world; but Xue Xun also does not dare to offend the emperor hastily, since so many people have rewarded him, and if he leaves himself alone, then he will not rebel. If so, he will be tight Jiangxi, why draw more people to stand on the united front.Being the first bird at any time will not end well.

So, now both sides are cautiously probing.

"This old slave pays respects to Lord Xue." The angel proclaiming the decree bowed.

Lord?The emperor bestowed the duke title?

The angel also seemed to see Xue Xun's doubts, so he dodged to let a young man in a low-level guard uniform appear behind him.

"Jia Amnesty?" Xue Xun asked in surprise, how could he come.

Not only did Jia Amnesty come, but beside him stood Xue Yao, the eldest grandson of the Xue family's third bedroom.Yinshuang hadn't reported it, did the news about the General Secretary of the Xue family fail?Xue Xun was suspicious. The arrival of Jia Amnesty and Xue Yao made Xue Xun more defensive.

The third family of the Xue family is nominally of the same clan as the Xue family, but in terms of blood, they have already passed through Wufu. When they were in Jinling, the third family relied on them for their livelihood.Xue Xun's blood relatives are only Xue Yue, and Xue Yue has already been separated into a separate room.However, Sanfang still lives in an old-fashioned family group, and four generations live together under the name of Sanfang.

Xue Yao took a step forward, saluted Xue Xun, and said, "Xue Yao pays respects to Uncle Xun. Your Majesty is merciful and merciful to the world. Jinling has long since restored peace and prosperity. Your Majesty has favored us and granted you the title of Grand Master and Grand Master." He and Grandpa Zeng bestowed Uncle Xun the Duke of Loyalty, conferred the title of Brother Pan as the eldest son, and the imperial order of Aunt Chaopin. Your Majesty praised Uncle Xun for his meritorious service in governing the local area, and was specially appointed as the Chief Minister of Jiangxi. Xingba, Xue Jinshou and others have their own seals."

Xue Yao recited the content of the imperial decree in one go, as if he had already memorized his lines and was just waiting for the performance in front of him.

Xue Xun didn't value the clan, he couldn't recognize these distant relatives Xue Xun, if he hadn't reported his family name, Xue Xun would know who he was?

Seeing Xue Xun's eyes sweeping over, Jia Amnesty smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty Long En."

Xue Xun was silent for a while, and the angel who announced the decree did not disturb him. He never had to explain the decree before announcing it, leaving time for the other party to think about it.It's a pity that at one time and another, the emperor should be cautious when dealing with local tyrants.The angel wanted to see everything he had seen since he entered Nanchang City, and then looked at the bulging arms of the guards around him, calmed down his prestige, and let Xue Xun think about it for as long as he wanted.

"Your Majesty Long En, I am ashamed to lead you." It was complicated to say, but Xue Xun made up his mind after a few words and thoughts.

The guards who were on standby in the side room put their swords back into their sheaths and took out the incense table leaning against the corner. The sword hit the incense table, making knocking sounds from time to time.They were already prepared with both hands, and now they were about to receive the order. The guards who carried the incense case also took off their swords and hid them in the side room, and carried the incense case out with "magnanimity".

The announcing angel slowly loosened his tightly gripped right hand. He was so tense just now that his short, bald nails cut his palm.The angel didn't bother to pay attention to these things, took the imperial edict from the entourage behind him, stood facing south, and sang loudly: "Xue Xun accepts the edict—"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Xue Xun prostrated on his knees, bowed his head to the ground, and officially professed his minister.

"Please, Mr. Xue, Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the rewards for court clothes. Please accept them outside the gate of the mansion." There is no way to bring it.

"Angel has worked hard all the way, please take a break in the guest room, and take Xue Xun to clean up your lord in the evening." Xue Xun greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Xue Gong is polite, please go ahead, please go ahead." The angel smiled more politely than Xue Xun, consciously being led to the guest room, and stayed in the yard peacefully, not to mention going out to inquire about news, even if he didn't look at Xue's house. glance.

The angel of decree retreated with his two real followers, and the living room fell silent for a moment.

"Qi Hong and Wei Jiang, you each have rewards, go down and prepare first. Zhang Long too." Xue Xun ordered, and the guards outside the mansion withdrew. Zhang Long retreated face to face, but actually led the guards to hide in the side room , The accompanying "little servant" did not retreat.Even though the dust had settled at this time, Xue Xun couldn't believe the two people in front of him.

"A Yao, Enhou, sit down." Xue Xun didn't know the news of the arrival of these two people in advance, which shows the emperor's control over the information along the road, and it shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Xue Xun. His contacts with Jia She are not Make great efforts to investigate, but it is impossible to find out.Perhaps the Secretary of General Administration at this time is no longer surnamed Xue.

"Ayao, how is your hometown?" Xue Xun asked.

"To tell the truth, Uncle Xun, my hometown is stable, and I didn't suffer much. The old house had a granary, and there were many young people. The whole family hid in the old house. They were not attacked by the refugees, but they were too scared to go out. After the refugees left After that, Jinling quickly recovered its stability, after all, it is the land of Longxing, and it has its own rules, and now there is no difference from the beginning."

"That's good." A war, a chaotic world disappeared, and his ambition and ambition had to be redefined.

"Yes, great-grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather all became dukes, and the elders of the old family have already discussed rebuilding ancestral tombs, ancestral halls and family temples." Xue Yao clasped his fists and said.At the beginning, Xue Xun and his party retreated regardless of their three families. Xue Yao also gritted his teeth with hatred. Xue Xun and Xue Yue were small in number. This branch is to avoid getting involved.Unexpectedly, the world is always changing, but Xue Xun got up again.Sanfang wanted to return to the previous state of relying on Xue Xun to eat alone, which made Xue Yao, who was young and vigorous, and devoted himself to growing his own family, how reconciled.

So what if you are not reconciled, the situation is stronger than people.Entrusted by his grandfather and father, Xue Yao, as the eldest grandson of Sanfang, considers himself "bearing the burden of humiliation". He must be careful of dormancy, and when he learns the skills of Xue Xun's branch, he will let them taste the taste of being under the fence in the future.

Thinking this way in his heart, Xue Yao didn't show it on his face at all, respectful and admiring, he acted like a junior, and introduced the situation in Jinling City to Xue Xun in detail.

"My family temple and my house in the city don't need to be repaired. My father's body is still in the family temple. I need to wait until I go back to comfort the dead before moving. The house in the city has long been destroyed by refugees. The few people who stay behind can only help look after the house. Renovation is still a must. Let’s talk about it after I leave office and go back.” The old house Xue Xun mentioned is not the same place as Xue Yao’s old house, Xue Xun’s home is the place where a family of three generations lived in Jinling City.Xue Yao's old house is the location of the ancestral hall outside the city, where sacrifices are held every year, and people from the third house live there.

The family temple is connected to the house in the city, and there are many secret passages and secret rooms, which cannot be renovated by outsiders, no matter what the name is.

"Listen to Uncle Xun." Xue Yao was very obedient, he did what Xue Xun said, and he was very discerning. Seeing that Xue Xun and Jia She had something to say, he resigned wisely.

Xue Xun took a deep breath and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Haha..." Jia Amnesty laughed dryly and said, "I'm sorry."

"Okay, let's tell the truth, why are you wearing this green leather dress after you are the Duke of Rong?" Jia Amnesty's own title is much higher than that of this low-ranking guard.If the emperor really let the person who inherited the title occupy such a low rank, it is not a grace, but an insult.

"I borrowed some clothes temporarily, and your house is very strict. I'm a dandy, I don't have the ability to protect, I don't know how His Majesty found out that you and I are old, so he sent me here." Jia She went to the house out of habit. Touching his fan, it took him a while to realize that he was wearing a standard guard uniform, but there was no chic fan available.

"The Shibo didn't say anything about you? By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. The Shibo has been promoted to the Duke, and the title you can inherit as a son has also increased."

Jia She smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "Don't make fun of me. The master knew that I was in touch with you, so he almost didn't take my skin off. If it wasn't for His Majesty's order, I would definitely be recuperating in bed. People come, it’s no different from the way of marching in the barracks. The master is not happy about being promoted to the title. I don’t like him at all. If there is such a thing, the master and his wife would like their second brother to be the prince. If the old lady is not protecting me, I... ...Sigh, what are you talking about, but without this chaos, I don't even have the title of son."

Jia Amnesty was like this, he valued affection and was soft-hearted, but he had no skills, being a conservative person was enough.It's a pity that what Jia Daishan wants is to be young and blue. He has always believed in packs of wolves chasing each other, and the winner is king. How can Jia Amnesty be admired for such a soft and waxy personality who was born into wealth and grew up after his wife.It is this kind of temperament that makes people feel at ease. Xue Xun believes that Jia Amnesty would help him when he was in trouble before, but he would not stand idly by if another familiar childhood friend was in trouble.

"The old lady has a long life, how long can I protect you, you still have to stand up by yourself." Xue Xun hated that the iron could not become a steel road. Although he didn't help him with ideas, he had a good heart. He is so soft now, but Don't become a big boss who is greedy for money and lust in the future.

"What can I do?" Jia She smiled wryly. He was not capable of writing or martial arts, and he had always cultivated himself according to the attitude of a conservative patriarch, and never thought of setting foot in the court. "Forget it, don't talk about me, let's talk about you. Although I don't like the master, but the master still told me not to get too close to you, saying that this promotion is not a good thing, you have to know it."

"I know, I know." Xue Xun didn't expect the emperor to have such a big hand, and he would become a duke as soon as he made a move, and he even sealed his son.The meaning of being crowned son is that when Xue Pan inherits the title in the future, he will at least be a marquis.Is the emperor so generous?Faced with a group of rebellious officials and thieves who almost overturned his family's ancestral business.Nowadays, there are quite a few titles of titles, princes, and female family members. No one can say that the emperor treats his subjects badly, is mean and ungrateful.What surprised Xue Xun the most was that the emperor actually allowed Jin Beast and Xingba to take up the court positions, and they were all assigned according to Xue Xun's assignment. In this way, how would the emperor get back his rights.

To change places, Xue Xun could only summon local officials to Beijing, or wait for these forces to enter the system of imperial officials, use the power of the system to promote them according to the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials, transfer them to other places, and disrupt the deployment of local forces.

Xue Xun is prepared for these methods, and other forces are not fools.He couldn't figure out the emperor's follow-up measures, but at least he knew that the emperor would not be so magnanimous. Now those who conferred dukes and titles are all recorded in the emperor's small book, and he will definitely attack them whenever he has a chance. Xue Xun can only wait and see what happens.

Jia Amnesty thought that Xue Xun was perfunctory, and said in a deep voice, "Don't take it to heart. This time, the capital was besieged, and there was a gap in the city wall. Many familiar people from the past have left. Brother Wang Zisheng died young, and brother Shi Gui of the Shi family was also sick in bed. His nephew did not make it through, and brother Shi Gui might not last long. The old lady of the Zhen family in Jinling also went. The emperor fainted on the spot when he heard about it So many people have passed away, I don't want to mourn anyone anymore."
