Chapter 1076 Life is a joke

The two talked for a while inside, and when they came out again, all the assassins had left.

"Mr. Lei, please—"

Guo Tianyang was very respectful, bending his waist and kneeling like a eunuch beside the emperor.

Jin Ju saw this scene clearly. She couldn't imagine how Lei Zhen could make the other party submit so easily in such a short time.

But no matter what, her face was full of smiles and she felt a sense of pride in her heart.

Because the new emperor will be the father of her child, and the father of more than one child, so of course the more powerful he is, the better.

"Deputy Director Jin, draft a document on the Guo family's absolute autonomy in the northwest and release it in the next few days." Lei Zhen ordered.

"Yes, sir." Jinju nodded.

"By the way, Tianyang, I need to discuss something with Deputy Director Jin." Lei Zhen said, "Absolute autonomy requires decoupling many things, and it will be easier for Deputy Director Jin to do it."

"Yes, Mr. Lei!"

“…”

All families are under the control of the Public Opinion Bureau and must report everything, including all business activities, networking activities, etc.

In other words, every family's affairs are no secret in the Public Opinion Bureau, and they have to listen to the investigation and propaganda on a daily basis.

After gaining absolute autonomy, they no longer have to report these things. They can do various things on their own, but a portion of their annual income will be given to the Public Opinion Bureau.

They can be considered as not very serious vassal kings. The Public Opinion Survey Bureau can give them a legitimate identity, and the vassal kings have to work for the Public Opinion Survey Bureau.

Where can I find such a good thing?

For Guo Tianyang, it was simply wealth falling from the sky.

It just so happened that a new emperor took office and needed protectors. Paying a price was inevitable, but what he gained was permanent and complete autonomy.

This thing is powerful. You will be the real King of the Northwest in the future.

…

After lunch, Lei Zhen rested for two hours.

Jinju has already drafted the document and can send it out at any time in the name of the Public Opinion Bureau to inform all families.

The document was also shown to Guo Tianyang, and the details were discussed and revised.

This thing is the biggest bait. Once it is released, the Guo family will really become a vassal king, so Lei Zhen's identity will become more prominent.

"gentlemen!"

"gentlemen!"

“…”

Everyone who saw him lowered their heads, as respectful as if they were seeing an emperor.

Lei Zhen was not surprised by this situation, because the rules of a large family were sometimes more numerous than those of the emperor.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, he walked into the courtyard of Second Madam Lu Qing.

"Hello, Mr. Lei!"

Seeing Lei Zhen coming, Lu Qing quickly saluted.

"Second Madam, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lei."

Lu Qing, who was dressed in plain clothes, wiped the corners of her eyes and seemed to have really shed tears, looking very sad.

"I spoke with Patriarch Guo on the phone before and discussed many things. He spoke very highly of the Second Madam—"

Lei Zhen stopped talking midway.

"Mr. Lei, please come in and have a cup of tea."

"good."

This sentence is very tempting, because the heir of the Guo family has not been determined, and as the second wife, Lu Qing needs strong support.

Her son is the eldest son, and according to the rule of appointing the eldest son as the heir, he is the most likely to become the heir, so everyone else was making a fuss yesterday, but she was the only one who didn't.

Maybe the husband has talked about this with Mr. Lei. If his son can get Mr. Lei's support, it will basically be a done deal.

The two went into the room and closed the door.

"Second Madam, I actually have no intention of interfering in your family's affairs, but now that Patriarch Guo has suddenly left, I have no choice but to rush over."

"The Guo family is very important, and the heir is even more important. I'm new here, and the last thing I want to see is chaos in the Guo family."

After sitting down, he made an opening statement expressing his regret and attitude.

It’s not that Lei Zhen has to intervene, but the heir of the Guo family determines the stability of the Guo family and the stability of the entire Northwest.

"Mr. Lei, the master passed away so suddenly, without leaving any words..." Second Madam Lü Qing wiped her tears and said, "The third sister and the others were already arguing over the heir last night. I wonder how distressed the master would have been if he had seen this."

This woman is quite something. She takes the initiative and doesn't attack. Instead, she chooses the strategy of not fighting but actually fighting for the greater good.

No matter how to choose the heir, her son cannot be avoided, because he is the eldest son. Even if his ability is average, he has the advantage of time, place and people.

"The eldest son should be chosen over the youngest, that's the rule." Lei Zhen said in a deep voice, "I came to discuss this with you, because Patriarch Guo also told me about the heir concept before."

"Wuwuwu... Master..."

Second Madam Lu Qing burst into tears, seeming to be extremely moved.

"That's enough." Lei Zhen frowned and said, "There's no need to cry in the funeral hall now."

Before she finished speaking, Second Madam Lu Qing stopped crying.

Not only did she stop crying, but she also smiled without any embarrassment. Her frankness made people feel that this old woman was very amazing.

"I will follow the wishes of Patriarch Guo and support your son to become the heir." Lei Zhen said, "And after your son becomes the heir, the Public Opinion Bureau will declare the Guo family's permanent autonomy."

“Permanent autonomy?”

Second Madam Lu Qing's eyes lit up. She certainly understood the meaning of this sentence.

“Yes, permanent autonomy.”

"Mr. Lei, what do you want?" Lu Qing blurted out.

This woman is really amazing. She understood the exchange of interests in an instant. Otherwise, why would she support her son and give him permanent autonomy?

You can't be attracted by my beauty, right?

I'm in menopause!

"Support, unconditional support." Lei Zhen stared at her and said, "I'm new here, and my foundation is not stable."

"Mr. Lei, no problem!" Lu Qing nodded vigorously.

"Don't you want to know how I need you to support me?" Lei Zhen asked.

"No need!" Lu Qing said with a smile, "I wasn't completely confident in this competition, but with Mr. Lei's support, I'm confident."

"Hahaha, the Second Madam is as capable as any man!" Lei Zhen laughed. "Since that's the case, I won't say much. From now on, Guo Tianyang will be in charge of the Guo family and complete the transition from the old to the new."

"Guo Tianyang?" Lu Qing frowned.

"Yes, he should come forward to stabilize the situation. If there is no one to act as a transition, your son will not be able to sit still. Do you understand what I mean?" Lei Zhen said.

"Well...I see!" Lu Qing nodded vigorously.

The transition attracts firepower and also creates time to consume the opponent. If no one transitions through it, all the firepower will fall on her.

"But I need a guarantee." Lei Zhen stared at her.

"What guarantee?" Lu Qing asked.

"For a marriage, I want the daughter of your Lu family's head." Lei Zhen said with a smile, "This is the most secure guarantee for both parties. What do you think?"

"certainly!"

"Okay, it's settled!"

“…”

It's just a joke. It's just a joke.

But life is indeed a joke everywhere. The key is how to grasp the other person's psychology.
