Wang Zhibian was born in a branch of the Wang family in Jinyang, so returning to Jinyang was actually a return trip to his hometown to visit relatives.
Like Wang Lu, the governor of Taiyuan County, Wang Qing, the governor of Bingzhou, and the Wang Ji brothers, he did not have a good relationship with the main branch of the Wang family in Jinyang.
When the Jin Dynasty was in chaos, everyone voted for Li Po instead of Li Yuan one after another. In addition to the reason of fate, it was actually caused by the disharmony between everyone and the main branch of the Wang family.
At that time, the Jinyang Wang family had a great reputation, and some people in charge of the clan were mercenary and short-sighted, so they treated these side children very unfairly, which aroused everyone's resentment.
Now these people are successful and famous, but they still don't want to associate with the main branch.
What made the Wang family of Jinyang especially uncomfortable was that the governor of Taiyuan County was Wang Lu. This guy was a special driver in Mayi. He saw Liu Wuzhou and others gathering in chaos, and the situation was extremely bad.
So he sent letters to the main branch many times, saying that if he wanted to change his position as an official, it would be best to go back to Jinyang, or even to Yanmen.
But the leader of the Wang family ignored him at all. In the end, he narrowly escaped death and almost had his head chopped off. This guy was really offended.
Now that he has been the governor of Taiyuan County for so many years, none of the officials under him are promoted to key positions, which shows what his intentions are.
What was even worse for the Wang family in Jinyang was that Wang Qing was appointed as the general manager of Bingzhou.
Compared to Wang Lu, Wang Qing was treated even more miserably by the main branch of the Wang family back then. Not only was the father and son separated, but someone actually tried to seize his family's property with the support of the main branch of the Wang family.
When he comes to Jinyang, good things will never happen to Wang's turn again.
The main branch of the Wang family sent people to see him, but they were all turned away by him. He looked determined to make the Wang family look good. Compared with Li Yuanji back then, he just didn't deliberately humiliate the Wang family.
Two years ago, Wang Qi returned to his hometown to visit relatives and attend the funeral for his grandfather Wang Cong. The Wang family members didn't know what they were thinking, but they even wanted to take Qiao in front of Zhaoyi. This shows that there are not many knowledgeable people in the Wang family.
Wang Ze established another branch in Chang'an, and the decline of the Wang family in Jinyang was inevitable.
Back when Li Yuan and his sons were trying to punish them, they still had the strength to resist. However, over the years, this powerful clan that has stood in the Jin Dynasty for thousands of years has been on the verge of falling apart.
In fact, they cannot be entirely blamed. When Li Po took charge of Jin, he indeed regarded the disintegration of the Wang family in Jinyang and the Pei family in Hedong as a major event.
It is difficult to uproot such a famous family in the earth in a hurry. Li Po is not short of patience. Now you can't see the result?
The Wang family has been entrenched in Jinyang for a long time. Now, let alone trading with the Turks, it is extremely difficult to guard the family.
With the imperial examination system for selecting candidates, the Wang family wanted to refer to each other as they did in the past, and it was no longer possible to occupy key positions in Jin. Talented children also left Chang'an one after another, and the brain drain was very serious.
Most of the land they had accumulated was taken away in successive rounds of land division reforms.
Therefore, in terms of talent and economy, the foundation of this thousand-year-old family has been cut off. Even if some members of the Wang family are still unwilling to admit it, the two-field system is like a noose around their necks.
There is not much extra income, just the taxes they need to pay every year, which already makes them breathless.
So at the beginning of the sixth year of Yuan Zhen's reign, Wang Lu took a cruel approach and put those guys who had offended Wang Qi into prison for tax arrears.
This was unimaginable in the past. If you try to touch the leader of the main branch in Jinyang, your saliva will drown several brave guys.
But now it has become a reality. Being slapped hard in the face by Wang Lu, the main branch of the Wang family is completely tragic.
It is a joke in Jinyang that several members of the Wang family went to complain to Wang Qing, the governor of Bingzhou, but unexpectedly encountered Wang Qing drinking with Wang Lu...
Think about how embarrassing it was at the time. Our own people were much more ruthless than outsiders like Li Yuanji, because everyone knew the basics.
Wang Lu was in a good mood, and even went to work with Wang Qing, "I heard that the general manager was forced into desperation by these people back then, and today I vented my anger on the general manager's behalf."
Wang Qing laughed heartily, "We are all from the same clan. We don't need to go overboard. We need to be reasonable and well-founded. Don't make people think that we are seeking revenge for personal grudges. Your Majesty will probably be unhappy after hearing this."
So the two drunken guys burst into laughter, feeling that the breath they had been holding in for many years finally came out, and they were in a very happy mood.
In fact, with their power, they would have been able to take action a long time ago, but due to their reputation, they were still hesitant. The most they could do was to use some tricks to make the lives of the people in the main branch of the Wang family miserable.
Now you have too many worries. The people in the main branch are seeking their own death. The nobles in the palace are from the main branch. It’s okay if you don’t try to fawn over them, but you actually offended them. What a good opportunity.
…………
When Wang Zhibian went to Jinyang, Wang Qing and Wang Lu received him together. There was nothing wrong with the Wang family. Wang Zhibian's family had moved to Chang'an, and he was not interested in going to the Wang family's ancestral home.
Worship ancestors.
This time I returned to Jinyang mainly to visit my old boss.
Talking about the main branch, the three of them found a common topic. Wang Zhibian was not like Wang Qing and Wang Lu. He was a standard martial artist, and his words were more direct (and ugly).
Even when Wang Cong took a concubine, his father went to give him a congratulatory gift, but he was unexpectedly stopped by the Wang family's gatekeeper and refused to let him in. This aroused great resonance among Wang Qing and Wang Lu.
.
The bullying went too far, and the three high-ranking guys each expressed their indignation.
But having said that, no matter how angry they are, they will not really destroy the Jinyang Wang family's house and wipe out the population, let alone dig up the ancestral graves of the Jinyang Wang family, where they are still buried.
's ancestors.
Whether they will live in their ancestral graves three hundred years from now is also a question.
This is the family of the current generation, connected by blood and constantly separated, so the Jinyang Wang family can continue for thousands of years and has never been cut off. However, the great disasters have been passed, but today, today, I met a few "prodigal sons", and they buried their heads in digging.
I am still digging hard at my own corner, and there is no sign of stopping for the time being...
…………
The next day, Wang Qing and Wang Lu accompanied Wang Zhibian to visit Chen Xiaoyi.
Chen Xiaoyi seemed pretty good, and was a little excited when he met Wang Zhibian. Chen Xiaoyi was ordered to perform his duties in Yanmen when he was in danger, and Wang Zhibian was his most capable general.
When Chen Xiaoyi presented Yanmen to Li Po, many people were opposed to it. Wang Zhibian was his staunchest supporter. Now the facts have proved that the two people did the right thing.
Unifying the three counties of Daizhou, the upper and lower parts no longer suffered from the war, and the credit was secondary. In Chen Xiaoyi's view, he had accomplished a great merit and had an account to the people of Yanmen.
