Chapter 71 Undercurrent
Director Wang's face was gloomy. He looked at the quarreling among the gentlemen and their faces turned red. He snorted coldly and then said: "What's the use of the gentlemen arguing here now? On the contrary, it will hurt the peace. Today I summoned the princes to come over."
, I’m not here to make enemies.”
Director Wang is only fifty years old this year, but his hair is already white. He looks like an old man in his sixties, not fifty years old.
However, Director Wang was covered in bruises, and his aura of having held a high position for many years was released, along with the lingering power of the Langya Wang family, which still made everyone present quiet down.
"The Duke of Shaoling does have the intention to rebel, but after all, he has not rebelled yet. There is still room for redemption. If he is forced, Su Jun will really be forced to rebel."
The golden mean, muddle along, has always been Director Wang's life creed.
So what about compromise as long as it maintains the status quo?
Just like the current situation of the royal family.
The Wang family of Langya had Wang Dun's rebellion, so what?
In other dynasties, it would have been natural to punish the nine tribes. However, Emperor Ming only killed the leader of the thieves. Instead of punishing the Langya Wang family, he took the initiative to reconcile with the Langya Wang family.
Why?
Maintain stability.
Stability trumps all else.
If chaos breaks out in the south and the army from the north presses on the border, the fragile balance maintained by the south will also be overturned.
By then it will no longer be a matter of face, but a matter of wealth and life.
"only..."
Shangshu ordered Bian Hu to look gloomy.
"Zhongshu Ling discussed with me yesterday and planned to recall Shaoling County Duke with the official position of Da Sinong. Judging from the current situation, Su Jun will never dare to return to Jiankang. And Zhongshu Ling has repeatedly forced me. I am afraid that Shaoling County
Public rebellion is just around the corner."
"I will go and persuade Zhongshu Ling again."
Director Wang's eyes flickered, and his expression was calm at the moment, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
"If Yu Liang had listened to his advice, would we still be here?"
Sima Yi, the king of Xiyang, sneered. He picked up the wine bottle in front of him and took a deep sip into his mouth.
"Didn't Situ advise the Yu family? Su Jun is treacherous and suspicious, and he will definitely refuse to come under the imperial edict. In the mountains and plains, poisonous insects and fierce beasts can be hidden. Su Jun will not immediately attack if he is outside. We should tolerate him temporarily and not alert him."
Sima Yi sneered and said: "It is necessary to persuade, Situ persuaded him, and the minister also persuaded him. Didn't the leading general and the servant persuade him? Even Wen Qiao, who had a close relationship with Yu Liang, persuaded him, and he might have changed his mind.
?”
Bang~
Sima Yi threw the wine vessel directly to the ground and said: "Yu Liang is self-willed and the princes know it well. Why not use this opportunity to drive such a wild and rebellious person out of Taiwan Province? Let the princes control the center and assist His Majesty in government.
?”
Everyone was silent.
"You are all thinking what you are thinking, but you dare not say it out loud. You all call yourself a loyal minister, hehehe~"
Sima Yi sneered. He stood up and patted the dust on his sleeves. He saluted Director Wang and all the people present and said, "The so-called ways are different and we don't want to conspire with each other. I will take my leave."
"The King of Xiyang stays!"
Bian Hu still wanted to retain Sima Yi, but Xun Song shook his head slightly and said: "The King of Xiyang wants to leave, can we really stop him? Even if we can stop him, we can't change the mind of the King of Xiyang."
"this..."
The leading general, Lu Ye, and the two brothers, Lu Wan, looked at each other and had nothing to say.
At this time, Sima Yi, the king of Xiyang, had already left the backyard of Langya Wang's mansion.
"That's all."
Director Wang also came out to express his position.
"Different ways do not lead to mutual agreement."
He looked around at everyone and said: "We still need to fight for the Duke of Shaoling's affairs. The princes are very prestigious in the court. If we can write a letter to express our righteousness and advise the Duke of Shaoling, everything will be done." Don't be deceived by treacherous people and do something you will regret for the rest of your life. What do you think?"
Joint letter?
Bian Hu, Xun Song and others looked at each other and did not immediately agree to Director Wang's request.
Now they are a little confused about what Director Wang is thinking now.
Could it be...
Director Situ Wang wants to revive? Is the Langya Wang family going to officially fight for power with the Yu family?
If that's the case...
They wrote a joint letter to Su Jun this time. Will Yu Liang misunderstand it?
In politics, there is naturally the term alliance.
However, everyone is not a fool. When two tigers fight, the surrounding grass and trees often suffer. When two tigers fight, it is best to stay away from the dispute and wait until the war between the two parties is over before entering again. That is natural. The best.
"I heard that the Duke of Shaoling County admired Situ a lot. Situ wrote a letter alone. In fact, it is enough. We don't need to write letters as well. This kind of thing is nothing more than trying to do the same thing." Xun Songzi said.
"That's right." Lu Wan came up to Xun Song with a smile on his face and said, "This is a court matter. If you want to write a letter, you should inform Zhongshu Ling first."
Lu Ye nodded in agreement.
These old foxes.
Director Wang was unhappy, but a smile appeared on his face.
"I have understood what you meant. In that case, I will personally write a letter and give it to Shaoling County Duke. In addition... I heard that the Queen Mother intends to marry the head of Sui'an County. Among the eight families, there is the Xun family, but ?”
Xun Song raised his eyebrows, laughed first, and then said: "It is indeed true, but all those of the right age in my family have already made an engagement. As for those who have not, they are just a few years old. It is really a pity. opportunity.”
pity?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Yu family is going to unite with the Tianshui Zhao family. The Xun family is now colliding with each other. It will bring trouble to themselves more than anything else. This is going against the Yu family. If they become enemies with the Yu family, it will be bad.
"I heard that among these eight families, the Wang family of Langya is also among them. Among these Wang families, there seems to be scholars of the right age. Could it be that Situ intends to become a princess?"
Old fox~
Director Wang chuckled and said: "Originally I wanted to give it to Brother Jingyou, but since there is no one of the right age in Brother Jingyou's family, I have no choice but to ask my son to marry the county master."
Xun Song was stunned for a moment.
"I am afraid that the order in this letter is intended to attract Zhao Xiaolangjun, Zhao Yue, who has recently become famous in Jiankang. If Situ is like this, if he fails to marry him, I am afraid it will hurt the family's face."
"hehe."
Director Wang chuckled lightly and said: "I still have to let Princess Zongzheng and the ministers keep their eyes on me. My son is not inferior to Mr. Zhao Xiaolang."
The two brothers, the leading general Lu Ye and the servant Lu Wan, looked at each other. They both felt that this matter was not that simple.
Zhongshu ordered the Sui'an County Lord to be engaged to Zhao Xiaolangjun of the Zhao family in Tianshui because he wanted to gain the support of the bandit general Zhao Xun to deal with Su Jun.
You, the Langya Wang family, have conflicts with the Yu family to begin with. If you go up like this, aren't you deliberately embarrassing others and yourself?
but...
This thought only appeared in everyone's mind for a moment.
It occurred to them suddenly.
When it comes to marrying a princess, Zong Zheng, who nominally holds the most weight, seems to be King Sima Yi of Xiyang.
Based on the relationship between Sima Yi, King of Xiyang, and Yu Liang, I'm afraid...
