The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2017 Leave
"But Lord, if there is no one to take care of the Xuan family in the court, what will happen to the Xuan family if you are no longer in the court?" Gao Jun thought for a while and asked his own question.

Look at those aristocratic families, in the court, which family does not have their people in front of the hall to discuss matters, usually, they can know the affairs of the court through their own officials, once there is a big event involving their own family , There is also someone who said something in front of the emperor to excuse one or two.

"I'm not the only one in the Xuan family. When I'm not in the court, is it possible that no one in the Xuan family is an official?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "If at that time, the descendants of the Xuan family are worthless, then I will Is there any way? Gao Jun, there has never been a long-lasting family. The dynasty is like this, and the family is like this. Looking at the ancient and modern times, look at those dynasties, look at those families, let’s say that there are five surnames and seven families in the world today. It has indeed been going on for hundreds of years, and the background of hundreds of years has allowed people from these families to know the etiquette of poetry and books, but what about now? You have followed me on business for so long, the faces of those family officials, you can't See it clearly?"

Gao Jun nodded.

The so-called loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is just a step for them to advance.

How can they be said to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?

Reaching out to the bank, harming the people, forming cliques for private gains, and enriching private pockets.

If we really talk about it, how many officials in the court are clean?Even the Xuan family is no exception.

For example, the Xuan family's Chamber of Commerce has such a large business. If Xuan Shijing has no status in the court, can the Xuan family's business be so large?Even if it becomes bigger, there is no guarantee that no one will come to covet it and extend its hand.

Now that no one in the Xuan family's chamber of commerce dares to reach out, is it all because of Xuan Shijing?
No, because the Xuan Family Chamber of Commerce still bears half the name of the Imperial Merchant on its head.

Now the two princes, as well as the emperor, have bonuses in the Xuan family's chamber of commerce, who dares to touch the emperor's things?I'm afraid I'm getting impatient.

When Xuan Shijing was still young, he thought about this problem. Without a corresponding status, the fatter the meat of the Xuan family, the closer the Xuan family would be to bad luck. And both King Wei and King Wu were brought over.

As long as the Xuan Family Chamber of Commerce has their interests in public, the Xuan Family Chamber of Commerce will have no problems for the time being, and the Xuan Family will also have no problems. Even if the ministers in the court want to target the Xuan Family, those who have interests with the Xuan Family People will not sit idly by.

When friendship is unreliable, but there is no interest.

This time Xuan Shijing left Chang'an to investigate the matter of the bank, who did he offend?Whose interests have been touched?It's those families.

Not only did their interests suffer, but they also felt that their status and prestige had been severely challenged, so they wanted Xuan Shijing to die.

After Xuan Shijing returned to Chang'an, it is estimated that Xuan Shijing's excerpts to be played would fall on Li Chengqian's desk like snowflakes.

The dangers to be faced after going back are far more than the ones to face outside.

"In addition, the Xuan family works for the royal family and is loyal to the emperor. As long as they don't commit suicide, there will always be a way out." Xuan Shijing said.

When Gao Jun raised this issue today, Xuan Shijing felt that he really had to think about how the Xuan family would go in the future.

Just doing something that offends people is not enough.

The wheels of the carriage ran over the bluestone streets in the city, and the carriage swayed all the way back to Xuan Shijing's house in Suzhou City.

In the afternoon, Zheng An's people came to Xuan Shijing's house to visit Xuan Shijing, and brought Xuan Shijing the decisions of those businessmen.

"Xuan Gong, there are thirteen merchants who have decided to return to Chang'an City with you. As for the rest, they plan to wait for news in Suzhou City." Zheng An's people said: "They are also afraid that after they return to the local area, He will be retaliated by the local honorable powers and the government."

"Okay, I see, Gao Jun, according to the number of people, let's arrange a carriage." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Lord." Gao Jun answered with cupped hands.

"Duke Xuan intends to take them to Chang'an by land?" Zheng An's people asked.

Xuan Shijing squinted his eyes and glanced at that person. Seeing Xuan Shijing's expression, that person was very frightened, bowed his body and dared not speak.

"What should be told to you, I will naturally tell you, what should not be asked, so don't talk too much, understand?" Xuan Shijing looked at this person expressionlessly and said.

"Yes, the little one understands, it's the little one who has been abrupt, and I ask Xuangong to forgive me."

"Okay, go back and tell Zheng An that I have already made arrangements, and let him take care of the rest." Xuan Shijing said, "Go back."

"Yes." After Zheng An's people responded, they left Xuan Shijing's house.

Xuan Shijing watched the man leave the house, turned around, and went back to the study, and Gao Jun didn't go straight down to arrange any carriage, but followed Xuan Shijing into the study, and when Gao Jun entered the study, he turned around Close the door of the study.

"Grandpa, were you testing that person just now?" Gao Jun asked.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Whether this matter will be successful or not depends on the last trembling. I don't believe that those aristocratic family members will not react at all after they know that I have left Suzhou City. If they know that I am going back If Chang'an is concerned, he will definitely not be able to sit still."

"Could it be that they still dare to arrange people on the road to intercept and kill you, Lord?" Gao Jun asked.

"I don't know, but what can't be done for people who are in a hurry?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "It would be great if I can be eliminated on the road. If I can return to Chang'an alive, then they will also die." It’s not that there is no way to pull me down. What I can do with this blindfold is just to add to their confusion. No matter if we go by water or by land, right and wrong will arise halfway. If you don’t believe me, just watch. "

"Then my subordinates should make more preparations," Gao Jun said.

In fact, Xuan Shijing had already said at the beginning that he was going to take a boat to the north and go to Chang'an. Just now, he told the visitors outside to ask Gao Jun to prepare the carriage, which was nothing more than to confuse them a little.

If twenty of them originally wanted to intercept and kill Xuan Shijing and prevent Xuan Shijing from returning to Chang'an, then no matter which way Xuan Shijing took, the only ones waiting for him on the road were There are only ten people, but half of them are missing.

Gao Jun planned to bring more people back to Chang'an, so that he could protect Xuan Shijing and the businessmen who went to Chang'an with Xuan Shijing on the way.

Now that you have made a promise to others, you must do it to keep them safe and sound along the way.
