Chapter 92: The Old Lady of the Ruined Hou Mansion (End)
Yangyiyuan
Wen Qilian, Xiao and Wen Duo were arguing in the lobby of the main house. The main object of the quarrel was Wen Qilian's grandson, while Xiao was mostly persuading Wen Duo, and advised Wen Duo not to continue stubborn.
Qiao Mu was in the side yard and heard their quarrels from a distance. He was walking slowly towards this side with a crutch. After walking for about five minutes, he entered the lobby and also heard clearly the content of their quarrels. The main content was that Wen Duo wanted to leave home and continue his struggle in Nanyang, but Wen Qilian firmly disagreed.
Wen Qilian saw Qiao Mu come in, as if he had found the backbone, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Mom, look at your great-grandson. He had already passed the Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy. But two days ago, he actually retreated from the Hanlin Academy in a quiet voice. He was not just squeezed back by others, but he was voluntarily.
It would be fine if I came back, at least I had a title for him to inherit, and I didn’t need him to eat in one bite, but he actually had to go to Nanyang. Just tell me, isn’t this a mess?&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Why are you going to Nanyang? There has been chaos in the past few years. You don’t know that there is a force called the Sea Dragon King there. It has expanded significantly over the past decade. I heard that several small countries in Nanyang have been destroyed by the Sea Dragon King’s power. Although the Sea Dragon King has not yet established a country, it is estimated that it is not far away.
Tell me, there is so chaos over there, why is he running there? Isn’t this just a mess?"
"Great-grandmother, I am..."
Wen Duo hurriedly asked to explain.
Qiao Mu raised his hand and pressed it down, and said with a smile:
"You don't have to explain anything. I can generally understand your thoughts. If there is a big power over there, I'm a little worried if I don't go to suppress it myself, right?
Don't worry about your grandfather. Even if he is your grandfather, he is my son. Do whatever he wants. If you don't make a breakthrough while you are young, can you still be like your grandfather and have no achievements even if you are 70 years old and 80 years old? However, you can go to Nanyang, but you have to bring all the staff I have to send you. Be careful of safety. Do you know?&1t;i>&1t;/i>
More than ten years ago, the forces there were still very obedient, and I could guarantee that there would be no trouble, let alone rebellion. However, more than ten years have passed, and I have not taken time to go there specifically, so I am not sure about the specific situation there and whether those people are still as loyal as ever. So if you go there, you have to be more careful in everything. It is important to take care of your health."
"Mom, what you said is not, why did you agree? It's not right? Why can't I understand what you said?"
Wen Qilian first wanted to refute his mother's words that he was useless, but in a flash he clarified the meaning of Qiao Mu's words, and he became a little disbelief. Why did he listen to her mother's meaning? What big force does he have left to his eldest grandson in Nanyang?
"The Sea Dragon King you mentioned is the force I founded back then. It was originally mainly engaged in the sea trade business, but in the sea trade business, we had to deal with pirates and other forces, so we also developed some armed forces. After more than 20 years of development, the power is quite good. Now I am old and have no energy to take care of the affairs there. Duo'er has also become an adult, so he handed over all the power to him. Now he wants to go to Nanyang to formally and completely control the power there.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Don't worry about this, let him go."
Because Wen Qilian quit drinking since her leg was broken last time and had quit talking nonsense. She hadn't been in trouble for more than 20 years, so Qiaomu is still quite at ease with him now, so he did not hide the news and said it straightforwardly that she had been hiding for decades.
After hearing his mother's words, Wen Qilian was stunned. The takeaway suffered a huge blow. The place where he was stunned was naturally that the legendary Sea Dragon King power was founded by his mother, and the huge blow was that his mother created such a large force and did not disclose any news to him. Even his grandson had already controlled this power, and he knew nothing about it.
This different treatment made him doubt whether he was his biological child.
"Mom, you are so unfair. I don't know anything about this. I..."&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"You, do you think you have the ability to take charge of a force? You are not even good at the people your father left to you, let alone such a large force, you should be a little self-aware.
That's it.
Duo'er, after you go there and make sure there is no danger there, remember to come back to pick me up. I have been in this capital for decades and have been tired of it. I just happened to be able to move now, and at least go out to play. If I have been in more than ten or twenty years, I'm afraid I'm powerless to go there, so I must remember!"
After Qiao Mu glared at his son, he quickly turned his head and said to his great-grandson with a smile.
“Great-grandmother, I will.
Grandpa and grandmother, please forgive your child for being unfilial. I will go now and try my best to come back before the New Year.”
Wen Duo seemed to be afraid that something would happen to stop him from going to Southeast Asia, so after nodding on Qiao Mu, he immediately bowed to his grandfather, grandmother and great-grandmother, and then left quickly.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Wen Qilian wanted to say something, but Qiao Mu stared at it and then turned back. In the end, he could only open his mouth and say he was careful.
Over the years, the process has been in danger, some rebellion, and some divisions. However, the teachings of famous teachers for more than ten years were not wasted. Although Wen Duo also had some doubts and retreated, he finally survived and completely controlled all the forces in Nanyang within two years, and expanded his power several times within five years, radiating to the countries in Nanyang.
At this time, due to the repeated uprisings and rebellions in the country for more than ten years, the treasury and the emperor's private treasury had long been empty. As mentioned earlier, money is an extremely important thing for both people and the country and the government. If a person has no money, he will go bankrupt, and the country will go bankrupt. The impact of fiscal bankruptcy is much greater than that of a person or a few people. The most obvious point is that the soldiers will riot if they do not receive silver and grain.
This dynasty has completely collapsed.
Rebels from all over the country successfully captured the capital three years later, and began a new round of competition in the capital, starting the battle for the Qianlong.
However, at this time, Qiaomu and his family had already noticed something was wrong. Xun took the family and went to Nanyang with his family's slaves and their children's in-laws.
