Chapter 30

The continuous spring rain drenched the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and all things seemed to be inspired, and they came out of the ground happily. The greenery was endlessly laid out, and the vitality was full of vigor and vitality here.

The new is born and the old is bound to pass away.Everything must follow this principle, but as the oldest existence in the south of the Yangtze River - various aristocratic families are unwilling to accept this reality.

Aristocratic families have existed for a long time, and the previous dynasties were closely connected with politics, and there were not a few people who played with power.But now, they have learned to be smart, no matter how much politics is involved, they will not be involved in the struggle for imperial power.

For them, who is the emperor is not important, what is important is the long-term stability of the family, which is famous from generation to generation.

Although he didn't want to admit it, in Jiangnan and other places, the power of aristocratic families is even more monopolistic, and they have actually become the actual rulers of this place.This is also the origin of their huge influence.

Wen Su accepted the most impossible task.

She wants to break off the wings of these aristocratic families. From then on, she can only live by the imperial power and become the emperor's right-hand man. She can no longer control the imperial court's control in Jiangnan and other places.

When Liu Ke heard the news, she once told her that it was too difficult. Who among the emperors of this dynasty has never tried hard?But who has succeeded?

Xiao Zheng also looked sad. He had been thinking about this for a long time, but he had nowhere to start.The head of the Jiang family still said that, if they are married, maybe they can consider it.

After Wen Su learned of this, her first thought was to take the Jiang family under the knife.

Dare to poach the foot of this official, right?snort!

It was a fine day when we arrived at Jinling Mansion, Wen Su lifted the curtain and saw a long line waiting respectfully outside.But she didn't bother to look at the row of officials, but turned her gaze to the back and into the distance.

The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the spring water is long. This is the place where she was born and raised. Thanks to that person, she was finally able to set foot on this native land again.

An official came forward and reported: "I heard that Mr. Shaofu is from the south of the Yangtze River. When he returns to his hometown, he must go back to pay homage to his ancestors. The next official has already prepared for you."

"Oh?" Wen Su raised her eyebrows. Before she could say anything, there were bursts of extremely friendly shouts: "Oh, Susu, Susu, over here, uncles and uncles are all here..."

really!

A group of people on the periphery of the crowd waved at her excitedly, aren't they just her amiable clansmen?

Wen Su returned to the car and waved to the official, "Go straight to my father's grave, and get down to business after sweeping the grave, and I can't delay it."

"Uh, this..."

"Huh?" Wen Su raised her eyebrows gloomyly.

"Ah, that's right, the next official will order to open the way." While wiping his sweat, the official hurriedly ordered people to prepare sacrifices.

Old Mr. Wen Jinchi would never have dreamed that his daughter was so capable, and she would bring a mighty group of officials with her to visit his tomb, and there were also those clansmen who had bullied their father and son.

Wen Suquan treated the people around him as air, respectfully placed offerings, burned incense, kowtowed and burned paper money.

To be honest, these officials and gentlemen are not happy.

Usually he was bullied by aristocratic families, and later he was bullied by a few anti-kings, and finally returned to the embrace of the court, okay, just send a woman to bully them!
Is there any reason!
It's a pity that the official rank crushed people to death, a group of people dared to be angry and dare not speak out, it was so uncomfortable.

After finally waiting for Wen Da Shao Fu to pay homage to his father, the officials and the Wen family members were already suffering from backaches.

Wen Su turned around and waved to the people with bad complexions, with a gentle smile, "Come on, uncles, uncles, cousins, come and kowtow to my father."

"..."

The patriarch's cousin said in a deliberative tone: "Susu, it's enough for the juniors to kowtow, we are your father's elders."

Wen Su fiddled with her fingers unhurriedly, "The dead are the big ones."

"..."

So things in the world are uncertain. When you bullied her, you never would have imagined that she would turn around one day. It's not just a small turnaround, it's a step up to the sky!
So the members of the Wen family kowtowed three times to the old Mr. Wen Jinchi with tears streaming down their cheeks.

I thought that this way, the previous affairs would be written off, but Wen Su ignored them, but calmly climbed into the carriage, and then waved to a group of officials, "Let's go."

"..."

Why does this girl hold grudges so much?The Wen family members burst into tears.

Wen Su went directly into the city this time, but instead of going to the residence prepared by her subordinates, she went straight to the mansion of the head of the Jiang family.

It is a rich family with a deep courtyard. A few thick and big trees protrude from the wall, extending their branches solemnly, showing the profound history here.

As expected of a great family, even the threshold is unusually high.

Wen Su stopped at the gate, not even looking at the two arrogant nurses.

The housekeeper had already gone in to report, and a group of officials following outside were sweating profusely, feeling that something was wrong.

After a while, the butler came out with a humble smile.But Wen Su's round head and slick brain can tell at a glance that he is pretending.

"Master Wen, my master is not feeling well, look..." He rubbed his hands and smiled carefully.

"That's it..." Wen Su sighed, with a sad face, "The old man is highly respected. It's rare for me to come here. I met his old man who was ill. It seemed that I was specially urged to come to visit him. No wonder I came to see him." As soon as you arrive in Jinling, head straight here..."

"Huh?" The butler was stunned.

Wen Su didn't seem to see his expression at all, and pointed to the threshold with a smile, "Please trouble the butler to move a block over here. I'm used to walking on flat roads, and I'm least used to crossing other people's thresholds."

"..."

Mr. Jiang was indeed lying on the bed, but the two shoes on the ground were very messy. When Wen Su saw him, he smiled and said nothing.

The room was spacious and bright, but at this time it was crowded with people, almost all the men in the clan had arrived.Wen Su turned a blind eye, and just smiled at Mr. Jiang who was leaning on the bedside and clutching his chest for panting, "Master Jiang seems to be very ill."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Mr. Jiang coughed quite cooperatively, his well-maintained face was sparsely wrinkled, slightly pale, and said in a weak voice: "Master Lao Shaofu misses you, I am very grateful, the negligence, I hope you will forgive me."

"Where, where, Mr. Jiang is being polite. The Jiang family is the head of all the great families. It is only right for me to come to visit for His Majesty."

As soon as the words fell, Mr. Jiang twitched his beard, and everyone around him looked alert.

Wen Su was secretly amused, to be so on guard?You can't even mention the word "Your Majesty", it's really like grass and trees are like soldiers.

"Master Jiang, rest well, I will visit you sometime later."

She bowed her hands to the old man, Wen Su's eyes seemed to have inadvertently swept across the Jiang family present, and she smiled meaningfully.Walking to the door, he stopped suddenly, turned his head and said, "By the way, Mr. Jiang, I don't know how everything is going well with Ling Ai? The regent may have asked specifically."

"Oh?" Mr. Jiang's expression changed immediately, he was extremely surprised, "Could it be that the regent has changed his mind?"

"Ah, no." Wen Su shook his head with a smile, "The regent just said that it's a pity that Ling Ai is still young, but it's a pity to encounter the current situation..."

Mr. Jiang was taken aback for a moment, and she had already left the door with emotion.

"You're still young...the current situation...it's a pity..." The old man chewed on these words repeatedly, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Does it mean that the regent has a strategy to deal with the family?From this point of view, it is really not a worry-free strategy.

He threw off the quilt and got off the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and when the maid next to him came to put on his shoes, he said to the people standing respectfully around him: "You all go to her place these days to find out what's going on, don't be in a rush Go, don't always go with a fixed person, separate to make side-by-side attacks, this girl doesn't look like a simple person, you should all be careful!"

This is probably the most ill-advised order that Mr. Jiang has ever given in his life.

Those tribesmen did follow his instructions, but Wen Su's ghostly mind made a group of people stunned and didn't say anything, and even posted a lot of information.

The Jiang family is a big family after all, and after so many years, people have different opinions among them.Through the contact these days, Wen Su roughly categorized these people, and some unpopular people were easily drawn over.

She herself still has the image of a good envoy of the emperor, harassing Mr. Jiang every now and then, asking about her body and talking about the customs and customs of the south of the Yangtze River, but the more she does this, the more she makes the old man more uncomfortable. Can't help feeling flustered.

What did she mean that day?What is the Prince Regent's decision?Why can't those people find out the details?

It's not that they can't find out the details, it's that there are no details to find out.Everything is nothing more than a blindfold, and what Wen Su said was simply to confuse him.

If it was in the past, old man Jiang's mind might be able to tell the difference, but now after the Seven Kings Rebellion, the vitality of the major families has been damaged to a greater or lesser extent. As soon as his hint threatened, he would naturally be in a state of confusion.

The flower garden in the vestibule is full of famous flowers and rare plants, dotted with sunshine, which is beyond words.

Wen Su looked at the scenery on that side, and said goodbye to Mr. Jiang with a smile on his face, but before leaving, he added mysteriously: "By the way, there is something that needs to be told to Mr. Jiang. I came here, but I didn’t really just come to visit you, it’s just that I’m just a messenger.”

"Send a message?" Mr. Jiang frowned, "What message?"

Wen Su's black and white eyes gradually darkened, and there seemed to be infinite mysteries flickering in and out of them, "The situation in this world is changing, and nothing can be said for sure. The aristocratic family has been independent for too long, so it's time to let go of your body and find someone to rely on, otherwise the tree will attract the wind, and the court will not be able to tell." I don't mind another fight."

What kind of status is old man Ding?

Wen Su smiled very friendly, as if trying to comfort him, but the words he said were very cold, "Master Jiang is a sensible person, he should know that it is not power or connections that determine everything, but... force!"

As if a heavy rain was coming, the surrounding atmosphere was oppressive and dull.Mr. Jiang's face was pale. After a long while, he got up with a cold snort, flung his sleeves and walked towards the backyard, but his fingers hidden in the wide sleeves trembled almost imperceptibly.

He knew this day would come, he knew it a long time ago.

There was no chance at the beginning, but now after the First World War in the south of the Yangtze River, the regent has disrupted the court structure, which has already damaged the power and connections they depend on for survival. Coupled with their own losses, it is indeed time to express their views.

But he never expected that Wen Su would say it so directly, so directly that there was no time for him to prepare.

He finally understands what kind of situation he is in now, and he is afraid that the army has already treated him seriously.

These bastards!

Wen Su, who was driving to the residence in the carriage, sneezed suddenly, rubbed her nose and frowned and murmured: "Don't scold me, if you talk better, I won't fool you..."
