Chapter 54 Difficult to be a quick son-in-law
"This is an invitation to the Yu family's banquet. I'm not from the Yu family. How could he invite me? Zhao Zhong, go to Brother Sheng's house and ask if he has received the invitation?"
Generally, when Zhao Yue receives an invitation, Zhao Sheng will also receive it.
If Zhao Sheng didn't receive it...
Then this Yu Liang came for him.
"Let's go to Wen Shu."
Putting the invitation in Xixiang's hand, Zhao Yue took a short rest and then went to the study to warm up his books.
While practicing martial arts with Tian Qi, Zhao Yue enjoyed the improvement in his spear skills, archery skills, and riding skills, as well as his own body becoming darker and stronger. This visible improvement in strength made Zhao Yue enjoy it very much.
In the study room, the continuous acquisition of knowledge can give Zhao Yue a lot of sense of security.
In this troubled world, no one can be trusted.
Only rely on yourself!
"Brother Lin, have you received the invitation?"
Zhao Yin also had a manor by the Qingxi River, which was right next door to Zhao Yue. The level of luxury was much inferior to the manor where Zhao Yue was located.
It's not that Zhao Yin has no assets, it's because the female relatives of Zhao Yin's family are not in Jiankang, and Zhao Yin doesn't spend the night at the manor by the Qingxi River on weekdays. In fact, Zhao Sheng is the only one in this manor.
The huge manor has actually been turned into a school grounds by him, and he brings hundreds of slaves to practice every day, just like a little general.
"How is it? Have you received the invitation from the Yu family?"
Zhao Yue put down the book in his hand and looked at Zhao Sheng who had sweat on his forehead.
"Qiu Ju, have a bowl of cold water with Brother Sheng."
Looking at the cold water brought by Qiu Ju, Zhao Sheng drank it without ceremony.
"I didn't receive it."
Zhao Sheng wiped the water stains on his mouth with the back of his hand and said: "Then Zhongshu Ling Yu Liang doesn't like me at all. Hey, now that I just invited Brother Lin, I'm afraid I will really become that Yu Liang's dragon."
Quick son-in-law."
Become Yu Liang’s son-in-law?
Zhao Yue did not want to be bound to Yu Liang.
If you become Yu Liang's son-in-law and have a father-in-law who knows how to handle things, no matter how powerful you are, you probably won't be able to bear it.
“I wonder if you’ve invited anyone else?”
Zhao Sheng shook his head.
"Brother Lin, why are you worried about this matter? I have married a daughter of the Yu family and will be in charge of the central government in the future. We will also take control of this province and kill the rising figures of those aristocratic families."
Zhao Sheng stepped forward and took Zhao Yue's shoulders.
"If it were so simple, I wouldn't care about it so much. The main reason is that the Yu family... are not a good match."
Before the Jin Dynasty, the Yu family's status was not prominent and it was "difficult to enter the ranks of high-ranking families." Later, through the Yu family's literary attainments and royal marriage, their status was promoted.
The Yu family was both a relative and a noble family. In order to safeguard the interests of both parties, they had to deal with various forces in the process of governing, so the conflicts they faced were extremely sharp.
In the situation of "the master is young and the minister is strong", Yu Liang took control of the political power as a relative, which caused dissatisfaction from other forces.
Zhao Yue sighed deeply, patted Zhao Sheng on the shoulder and said:
"Zhongshu ordered the emperor to make too many enemies."
At this time, there were obvious conflicts between Yu Liang and his royal relatives, the Wang family, and the powerful feudal lord Tao Kan.
The conflict between Yu Liang and the royal family Sima Zong originated from the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the imperial power was extended, and Yu Yin, the younger brother of Prince Zong of Nanton and Emperor Yuan of Yuan Dynasty, was put in important positions. He controlled the soldiers in the palace, gathered warriors as party members, and treated Yu Liang and other court officials with great contempt.
Yu Liang and Wang Dao took advantage of Emperor Ming's critical illness to deprive Sima Zong of his military power. As a result, Yu Liang took over power and caused dissatisfaction among the royal family.
"Zong Sui's resentment and hope are expressed in his words", while Sima Zong "is also known as Su Junshan".
Afterwards, the conflict between the two intensified. Sima Zong was dissatisfied with Yu Liang and wanted to plot to depose him. Now he has even left Guangling.
The Wang family had higher qualifications and prestige in the ruling group. Director Wang was dissatisfied with Yu Liang's dictatorship, so Yu and the king had to restrain each other.
The two families are building a healthy relationship and can still live in peace and harmony with each other.
The Yu family was a wealthy family with a very strong sense of gentry, and they naturally despised and distrusted Tao Kan, who was born in Han people.
Later, when Su Jun rebelled, Yu Liang reported to Wen Qiao and wrote: "I worry about the Western Frontier more than Su Jun, and I can't even take a single step beyond the Thunder Pond."
Su Jun has turned against him, but Yu Liang is still on guard against Tao Kan!
This further shows that Yu Liang's first consideration is to deal with Tao Kan, but he does not care about Su Jun.
At this time, Tao Kan controlled the particularly important Jingzhou area and was hostile to Yu Liang.
"Tao Kan, Zu Yue doubted Liang's deletion of the edict, and there were complaints." Later, Su Jun, Zu Yue launched an attack, and Tao Kan took a wait-and-see attitude.
From this we can see that there is a huge gap between Yu and Tao.
"The clan members of the Langya Wang family and Tao Kan's ancestors have a grudge against Su Jun. In addition, our dynasty has not been established for a long time. Zhongshu ordered the personnel to be too hasty in doing things. If we marry them, there may be disaster in the future."
Zhao Sheng was not an outsider, so Zhao Yue said this directly.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty was a regime where overseas Chinese resided, and its political situation was unstable. As far as its current situation is concerned, it faces many problems that need to be solved urgently.
How to resettle the immigrants from the north, how to deal with the conflicts between the northern and southern aristocratic families, between the local refugee armed forces and the central government, and the occasional external threats on the border, these issues are directly related to the existence of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Against such a complicated background, the top priority is to win over people's hearts and survive, so as to stabilize the foundation of rule.
When Wang Dao was assisting the government, he implemented the lenient and conciliatory policy of "keeping calm and calming the masses", coordinating the interests of all parties, emphasizing the importance of peace within the ruling class, so as not to provoke turmoil and make the foundation of the ruling class weak.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty could stabilize as soon as possible.
Director Wang once said: "People say that I am foolish, and future generations should think of this foolishness."
This kind of "uneasy" policy was adapted to the complex social situation at that time.
After Yu Liang came to power, he opposed Wang Dao's policy of leniency and advocated "letting the law dictate things" and adopted harsh and radical methods in order to revive the Jin Dynasty.
Such a drastic move caused resentment from all parties and even chaos.
Su Jun, Sima Zong, and even Yu Zuyue, with the Gonghuo of Tianshui Zhao family, Yu Liang's persecution, and the acquiescence of Langya Wang family, Xi Jian, Tao Kan and others, the rebellion is probably counting down.
To be the son-in-law of the Yu family at this time...
Isn't this just throwing yourself on the fire?
"Then... isn't Brother Lin going?"
The Yu family invites me... If I don't go, I won't give Yu a good face!
"Go! Why not go?"
If he didn't go to the Yu family's family banquet, wouldn't the Tianshui Zhao family be at odds with the Yu family?
If this is the case, the Tianshui Zhao family may no longer be able to profit from chaos in the future.
"It's just... If Brother Ruolin went there, he was afraid that Zhongshu Ling would directly agree to the marriage. How could Brother Lin refuse?" Zhao Zhong had a worried look on his face.
If you go to his house and he offers you a marriage on the spot, if you don't allow it, then it's even more disrespectful.
If Zhao Yue dared to refuse in court, how could the daughter of the Yu family who had been promised by Yu Liang have any face? Getting married in the future would be a problem.
Then it's not an enmity.
This is a direct feud!
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. I, Zhao Yue, want to break into the Yu family's dragon pond and tiger's den."
Zhao Yue's mouth corners were slightly raised and his eyes were bright.
