After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 57

A king has not been reduced to extracting money from the pockets of his courtiers.

But when Xie Tangru reported a few numbers, even the emperor who is sitting on the world and rich all over the world rarely hesitated so much.

Xie Tangru took the initiative to explain: "My mother is from the Jin family in Lingnan."

Lingnan Jinshi.

This family is just like its surname. It has been rich for many generations, with pearls, jade, bricks and gold nuggets paving the floor, with extreme luxury. It has passed down the five surname dynasties, which is longer than the history of the entire Shang family.Even in the remote land of Lingnan, the Jin family's control over Lingnan is deeper than that of the imperial court.Several Lingnan governors were all from the Jin family.It's just that no matter how prosperous the family is, it will eventually decline.The Lingnan Jin family is no exception, but its decline is not because no one in the family has achieved success, but because of the extinction of heirs.

The last head of the Jin clan was named Jin Xueou. It is said that his womb was sick, and countless panacea were piled up to support him, but they failed to make him live past the age of 30. tracked.

Xie Tangru said that his mother was from the Jin family in Lingnan, so she should be a branch of the Jin family.

"The life experience of Mrs. Wei Guogong was mysterious, and there were many speculations in Beijing. It turned out that she was from the Jin family in Lingnan." Shang Qingyao said.

The Jin family in Lingnan is not far from the southern border, and it is logical to have a relationship with Wei Guogong who was stationed in the southern border at that time.However, there are rumors in Beijing that Mrs. Wei Guogong met Wei Guogong when he was practicing in Baiyun Temple.

This is a lawsuit that only the parties know about.

"Yes." Xie Tangru turned his gaze away from the wood-grained lattice window, and when he talked about his mother, his whole body looked a little pale, "But my mother never likes to mention her life experience."

In fact, the degree to which Mrs. Wei Guogong kept her life secret was not only enough to be summed up by "not liking".

The first wife of the Duke of Wei was named Jin Lianyu, but when she mentioned her name, she always dropped "Jin". For a long time, Xie Tangru thought his mother was called Lianyu.

It's just that his mother doesn't look like she has any deep hatred for the Jin family.

His father probably knew something, but he never said anything.

After all, it is the matter of the ancestors and elders. Since they are unwilling to talk about it and have no influence on Xie Tangru, Xie Tangru will not investigate.

Shang Qingyao didn't know what to get from his expression, and smiled lightly: "Since it's something left to you by Mrs. Wei Guogong, you still keep it. The treasury is not so big that it can't even pay officials' salaries. .”

If there is such a day, this dynasty will still let it rot.

If Xie Tang wasn't a pushover, since Shang Qingyao refused, he didn't force it, but said: "If someday you can't afford the salary, then tell me."

The emperor lowered his eyes and smiled.

"it is good."

It has been two days since Song Xuan heard the news, and what he knew was not exact, only a few words. When he heard that Xie Tangru was willing to donate a large sum of money, he wondered, "How can Duke Wei have such a rich family?"

Although money is not an urgent need at the moment, if Song Xuan is to say, the more things like silver in hand, the better.

Shang Qingyao was approving the memorial, when he heard this, he glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Song Xuan said to himself: "I heard that there are more than 200 million taels." After copying dozens of officials, large and small, they also copied cash silver that was similar to this amount—let alone the shops with title deeds of calligraphy, painting, antiques, and jewelry.

Wei Guogong's son is really hiding his secrets.

In fact, Song Xuan said a lot less.

But Shang Qingyao didn't intend to tell him.It was beyond his expectation that Xie Tangru held such a large amount of wealth in his hands.Beijing and China are not completely peaceful, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Song Xuan didn't pay attention to Shang Qingyao's expression. When he thought of this, he felt that it was fortunate that His Majesty did not agree to accept this huge sum of money.Otherwise, even if the emperor paid Xie Tangru with so much money, the debt would still be paid off.Who told the state treasury that the former emperor squandered a dime, and what is being used now is Shang Qingyao's own private treasury and money from house raids.

If it continues to spend, Song Xuan will worry that His Majesty will not even have the money to marry the queen.

"I don't know how Duke Wei's mansion is managed so well, I want to ask for the secret." Song Xuan murmured.

"It's not surprising that Mrs. Wei Guogong came from the Jin family in Lingnan." Shang Qingyao said lightly, but Song Xuan's expression was extremely strange for a moment.

"No. Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Wei Guogong's wife to be from the Lingnan Jin family." Song Xuan said word by word, "You know that I once had an aunt who married into the Lingnan Jin family, so I was lucky enough to know a secret——Lingnan No matter whether it is the direct line or the offshoot of the Jin family, they all died before the last Patriarch Jin Xueou."

They shouldn't have all died, but Jin Xueou was a lunatic that no one could control at all, and personally ordered the killing of more than a dozen members of the Jin clan who were still alive at that time.Aunt Song's husband died at that time, because she was not surnamed Jin, so she survived and returned to the Song family, but she was too frightened and went crazy for many years.Until she was about to die, she kept muttering about the old affairs of the Jin family, and the young Song Xuan accidentally wrote down the name Jin Xueou when she heard it.

deep impression.

Jin Xueou is the last member of the Jin family in Lingnan.

And Jin Xueou died more than 50 years ago.

No matter how old Mrs. Wei Guogong was, it was impossible to be that old.

The author has something to say: Song Xuan: I often feel that I will be silenced because I know too much.
