In fact, at this point in time, the style and so-called integrity of the Han Dynasty's noble families are no longer comparable to those of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or even the time of Emperor Guangwu. As for the middle and upper classes in the political circle, these
The style and demeanor displayed by people will greatly affect the grassroots officials, and then spread to the entire Han Dynasty.
Political ecology is more than just shouting slogans. Once these politicians of the Han Dynasty begin to abandon morality and purely pursue interests, basically there is no hope that these people can continue to lead the people of the Han Dynasty to glory.
Especially in these areas where the old forces are stubbornly entrenched, they are simply the hardest hit areas.
Zhang Yun was old and had never slept well. After being woken up, he drank a bowl of warm ginseng soup and asked the maid to relax his legs, feet and shoulders. After a little refreshment, he felt a little better.
In the current era of Dahan, there are several Zhang Yun. Dahan has a single name, so there are many people with the same name and surname, just like a certain strong person or a great person in later generations, and each one is called a big name.
The people serving Zhang Yun in Jiangdong were all old people who had been with Zhang Yun for a long time. They didn't need to be too familiar with Zhang Yun's situation. Seeing Zhang Yun recover from fatigue, they quickly helped Zhang Yun sit down.
After that, I went to inform Gu Ti.
Gu Yong was grounded.
Of course, the external declaration is "still".
It's just that the Gu family is very big, and it's impossible to arrest and seal all the Gu family members, so Gu Yong's clan member Gu Ti can still come out and hook up with the various surnames in Jiangdong.
Although the Zhang family usually does not dominate with financial resources, nor does it show off, there are still more than a dozen residences in the Zhang family's mansion, and there are five or six large and small halls.
Tingtao Hall is not very big, but the surrounding furnishings are complete, and all of them are valuable items. It is like the so-called "Bie Ye" in later generations. It does not mean that spending millions to buy a cement shell can be regarded as a mansion.
, these things inside are the true heritage of a family. Not to mention other things, there are nearly two hundred people who maintain the house daily, each performing their own duties, and the hierarchy is strict. If you spend a share of the money, you still want to let it go.
If a servant holds several positions at the same time, if word spreads, he will probably be laughed to death by the nobles of a real aristocratic family.
Under the guidance of Zhang's servants, Gu Ti passed through the cloister, and then passed two or three small courtyards before entering the Tingtao Hall.
Zhang Yun was trying to give Gu Ti, um, a little respect to Gu. He had already changed into formal clothes and was sitting there waiting. When Gu Ti came in at the roll call, Zhang Yun was still polite, or
Pretending to be polite, he stood up slightly to greet him.
In fact, Zhang Yun, a so-called famous figure in Jiangdong's Qingliu, would be regarded as a drug addict in later generations, and the people in Chaoyang would not hesitate to report him. But after all, in the current era of the Han Dynasty, this behavior of taking Wushisan is a manifestation of elegance.
Of course, such elegance comes at a price, the most direct one being serious damage to the body. Normally, the daily regimen of a powerful family member, such as a noble family, can ensure that their lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people.
Zhang Yun, who has just passed middle age, exudes an aura of decadence and feels that his days are short, mostly because of the daily indulgences he indulged in when he was young.
Jiangdong has been in peace for a long time. Without any external threats, nobles like Zhang Yun have basically lost all their enterprising ideas. As for the changes in the current situation of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that they are not concerned at all.
Care about your own interests and family money.
Seeing Zhang Yun's attitude, Gu Ti returned the favor even more politely, "How can I dare to act like this, Mr. Zhang? I'm already frightened to disturb Mr. Zhang's purity. If Mr. Zhang is so polite again, I will feel ashamed and leave in fear."
』
No matter what happens, etiquette cannot be lost.
Zhang Yun coquettishly invited Gu Ti to sit down, "I've heard of Zi Tong's handsome talent for a long time, but it's a pity that I never had the chance to meet him. Today, while listening to the waves, I learned that Zi Tong is so brilliant..."
When Gu Ti heard Zhang Yun praising him, he half stood up and avoided his seat to show his modesty. After Zhang Yun finished speaking slowly, he took over the topic and said, "I am ashamed to receive this praise from Mr. Zhang..."
Originally, he should not come to disturb Mr. Zhang’s spiritual cultivation, but the secular way is gradually out of control. If he is allowed to do so, he may cause harm to all directions! It’s okay for the poor family to not care about the family’s kindness. After all, people have various characteristics, and there are people who have both virtues and virtues.
There are also people who are ungrateful and have bad behavior. Now I never think of someone who wants to do trouble!"
"What happened at Gu's house last night was really strange." Gu Ti continued, "If only one person was wronged, that would be fine. Now we want to kill everyone, how can we ignore it? The Gu family is usually cautious in their words and deeds. If this is the case,
And to be dismissed from the official position and convicted of a crime may chill the hearts of Jiangdong people... But there are people who back this upright. If it is used in this way, I don’t know what state the national affairs will be in! Currently, the name of a false spy is used to check officials, but in fact it is
In order to exclude those who are loyal and good, they want to form cliques for personal gain."
"The weather in Wu County is uncertain this year. Only Mr. Zhang can preside over such important events! Therefore, I am here to ask Mr. Zhang how to deal with the matter here."
Gu Ti didn't go around in any circles with Zhang Yun. Firstly, because of their identities, it was inappropriate for them to speculate on each other's words and deeds. On the other hand, it was so cloudy that it would be a bad thing if they misunderstood each other.
Zhang Yun frowned a little. He didn't want to talk about a more practical topic like this.
He had already received the news about the Gu family. The reason why he had not taken any action was mainly because he thought that Zhang Yun knew that this matter was not Jian Yan's problem alone, and he also wanted to guard against Sun Quan making any other moves.
.
During this period of time, Jiangdong has not been very stable, and various problems have emerged one after another. Just the various follow-up rectifications and measures after the Qingxu War are already cumbersome. The interests of various families are intertwined and there are many disputes with each other. If Zhang Yun had already
If you express your attitude, you may lose the initiative in subsequent matters.
Moreover, now Sun Quan and Ji Yan are mainly targeting the Gu family. With the Gu family in front to attract firepower, wouldn't it be possible to better see Sun Quan and Ji Yan's follow-up methods?
Anyway, it's not Zhang's turn to suffer the damage for the time being, so Zhang Yun is of course not in a hurry to express his position.
At that moment, Zhang Yun's expression became slightly colder, and he said with a faint smile: "Zitong can be regarded as a member of the family, so I'm sorry, I might as well say something sincerely... How can such perverse actions last long?"
?』
"But now that this person deserves to be favored, even if there are some small mistakes, he must be tolerant..." Zhang Yun stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "And such a big thing... I can't just say it."
Jue. Now that the world is so noisy, there may not be an oriole hiding behind it. If it shows its whereabouts early, I'm afraid there will be less room for tolerance later... It's better to stay calm..."
Gu Ti raised his eyebrows slightly, and simply said more bluntly, "What Mr. Zhang said is true, he has learned the way of a gentleman to hide weapons... But this time it is not simply for the clerk, nor for the tenants of the manor.
But they are here for the soldiers of each family!』
"If it weren't for the support of our soldiers, how could Jiangdong be strong?" Gu Ti said with a sneer, "Now that the only way to go up to the house is to take the ladder, how can we expect these people to stop? If our soldiers are
Compile them all. If there is some trouble at that time, but you don’t know how to ensure the safety of the family? 』
"It's not that I have any prejudice against this Zhuzi, but the current military affairs cannot be left to others." Gu Ti leaned forward slightly, "What's more, there is the emperor in the north and the hussars in the west. What is going on in this world?
We haven’t found out yet. If our soldiers are taken away from us and cannot be used for our own purposes, and if something unexpected happens at that time, is it possible that they will all go into exile?"
Zhang Yun frowned.
Gu Ti was so aggressive, which naturally made Zhang Yun unhappy.
In fact, the various families in Jiangdong complement each other and compete with each other.
The Lu family has been declining since Lu Kang. Now it can only protect itself, and it is not a good climate. On the other hand, the Zhu family is a new member. Although it has soldiers, it is not very stable.
Therefore, in Jiangdong at present, there is no one other than Gu Zezhang.
Although Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others were from Jiangbei, they were in the same family five hundred years ago, so they were naturally close to Zhang Yun and often visited each other. From this aspect, the Zhang family also had
This ability competes for the position of the No. 1 family in Jiangdong. This is the deep reason why Zhang Yun keeps delaying and even remains in high secrecy even after knowing about the accident.
It's just that Zhang Yun is in poor health, so others are worried.
After all, no one wants to support a time bomb, and then it will suddenly disappear without knowing when, and all the previous investment will be in vain, right?
Zhang Yun did have reason to be angry. After all, the Zhang family did not obtain any high position under Sun Quan, but Gu Yong did not. In this incident, it was obvious that Ji Yan was charging in the front, while Sun Quan was behind
Waving flags and shouting, waiting for the follow-up, but Gu Yong, the Gu family who was supposed to be the main force in the battle, ended up raising the flag for help at the beginning of the war...
When he took up the important position, he didn't think about Mr. Zhang, but when he got into trouble, he came to see Mr. Zhang. How could Zhang Yun not be angry about this?
Seeing Zhang Yun's slightly angry look, Gu Ti was not afraid at all. He just bowed and said that he had contradicted his words and hoped that Zhang Gonghai would forgive him. Then he added: "There is one more thing... When this son took office in the past,
, it was once said that it was recommended by your son...and you don’t know whether this is true or not?"
Zhang Yun's eyes narrowed. Although it was said that Gu Ti was rude, but if we say that this recommendation and beauty thing was really "recommended" by Zhang Wen...
After Sun Quan came to power, he urgently needed to win over the big families in Jiangdong. Among the four surnames of Zhu, Gu, and Zhang Lu, Zhu Zhi was used to balance Gu Yong. However, Sun Quan did not expect that Zhu Zhi, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also rebel. He just wanted to
I wanted to recruit more people to mix sand into the venue, so I found Zhang Wen.
After all, Zhang Wen is young, and being young means he is easier to fool to a certain extent.
At least that's what Sun Quan thought.
So I pestered Zhang Wen every day, and even three visits to the thatched cottage were nothing. He came every day, and he paid nine visits. Facts have proved that if you really don’t want to be an official, let alone three visits, nine visits are useless. Zhang Wen was only ten at that time.
He will be much younger than Sun Quan next year, with small arms and small chest. If he really becomes an official, will he be regarded as an official or a hostage?
Therefore, at that time, Zhang Yun simply asked Zhang Wen to politely refuse, and then recommended some young people from a poor family to Sun Quan, including Jian Yan.
Among these disciples, it can be said that Zhang Wen recommended them, or it can be said that they were not.
A serious recommendation requires endorsement, that is to say, there must be joint and several liability. And this kind of casual saying, indicating that there is such and such a talented person in such and such a place, is more like a favor and cannot be used.
It was considered a serious "recommendation", but the problem was that as soon as Gu Ti said it, Zhang Yun noticed the problem.
This is a life-and-death effort to drag the Zhang family into the water...
Evacuation strategy!
In history, Zhuge Liang was not the only one who silently went on the Northern Expedition in the southwest. In fact, Sun Quan also carried out the Northern Expedition three times, with only victories and losses. During the Northern Expedition, Sun Quan went into battle in person several times, but he was just a little bit functional.
If not, it was almost given as a super experience package.
You must know that although the main population in history was in the north, Jiangdong was not weak. During Sun Quan's several Northern Expeditions, the number of troops dispatched far exceeded that of the Shu Han, which earned him the nickname "Sun Shiwan". However,
Such a number of soldiers and horses have never been able to achieve any outstanding results. This shows that there has always been a big problem in the management of soldiers in Jiangdong.
Now Sun Quan has been stimulated by Fei Qian, and once again wants to take up the authority of his father and brother, but he cannot control the army. The major gentry families in Jiangdong have become powerful, and they will try their best to restrain him whenever something happens. In the end, Sun Quan naturally can't do anything.
Don't even think about making it happen.
Even though Sun Quan seems to be high up, he is actually like a high platform without a ladder. He is trapped at a high place, unable to go up to heaven, and even less able to go down to the earth...
And now, Sun Quan is actually using the strategy of removing ladders from the major families in Jiangdong.
Enshrine them high, and then kill these people's ladders, or change the original ladders of these people to their own names, such as Jiyan.
Gu Ti put it bluntly and meant the same thing.
There is no way to avoid this matter, so it would be better for everyone to face it together.
If you want to fight, just fight!
Sun Quan must not be allowed to use Ji Yan's hand to remove the foundation stone from everyone's feet and the stairs to the upper floor!
Whether it is people or soldiers, whether it is money or food, it is more comfortable to hold it in your own hands than to rely on others! These cornerstones and steps must be in your own hands no matter what!
After understanding the truth, Zhang Yun couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Zitong is very energetic, but I can see clearly... I have been taught... but what can I do? Now I am using the name of a Jiangbei spy to exert my power, but I can't
Knowing what methods are available in the future, maybe they are just waiting to see our flaws. How can we do this so easily?"
The current political situation in Jiangdong is very similar to the kind of party struggle in later generations. There are even some situations where it is impossible to stand if one cannot rely on one of them. In the government hall, it is clear who is who, and several major political groups are united with each other.
Externally, there are also disputes internally.
Zhang Yun knew that Gu Ti was the newly rising backbone of the Gu family and was known to be very intelligent. After being moved by Gu Ti, he had no scruples and opened up the topic, finally speaking out some truth.
.
Taking Wushi Powder feels good for a while, but the damage to the nerves and body is permanent. Although Zhang Yun prides himself on being smart, the eroded and damaged brain nerves are still somewhat unable to keep up. After realizing the seriousness of the situation, he subconsciously
Some of them wanted to see what good ideas Gu Ti had.
Ji Yan was obviously determined to side with Sun Quan. She did not care about the dignity of the Jiangdong gentry's children, and willingly fell into being Sun Quan's minion. The key to dealing with such hawks was that after taking action, Sun Quan would have another chance.
What kind of reaction?
This is the most critical issue.
"Mr. Zhang, since you are willing to climb high, you might as well give me a ladder..." Gu Ti said slowly.
Zhang Yun was stunned and asked for another ladder?
To Jian Yan or to Sun Quan?
Or should we give it to two people together?
Gu Ti seemed to know what Zhang Yun was thinking, and with his eyes flashing, he continued to explain: "This time it is nothing more than taking advantage of fame and opportunity to create trouble, using people to seek troops, and using troops to seek power... This time
The action may seem to be aimed at the Gu family, but in fact it is a plan to gain money, food and military power for all the families!」
"So no matter how chaotic the current situation is, it will eventually end up with private soldiers of each family!" Gu Ti looked deeply, "But... someone has forgotten that in Jiangdong, it is not just families with different surnames who have private soldiers!"
Zhang Yun's eyes widened, "You mean..."
Gu Ti nodded.
Zhang Yun couldn't help but ponder.
In fact, Zhang Yun had been persuaded by Gu Ti, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart. He was just proud of his identity and felt that it would be a bit embarrassing to ask Gu Ti about the whole plan.
Gu Ti was so smart that he didn't ask Zhang Yun when he saw this. He just explained directly: "That's it for now. It all depends on Zhang Gong's decision. As long as the fire starts somewhere else, it will naturally stop here. These eagle dogs will find a name at that time."
head……"
Gu Ti suddenly smiled and said, "It's just like the matter with Gu Zhai. It's not bad. We can let him die or die..."
Zhang Yun didn't speak, and Gu Ti analyzed things for a while, which made things that he originally thought were a little confusing became much clearer. He was also a figure who had been ups and downs in Jiangdong's politics for many years, and if his body hadn't been poisoned by Wushi San
It was full of holes, and I could probably figure it out on my own now. Now that I heard Gu Ti talk about the key points, and after pondering deeply, I felt that I had generally judged the situation properly, and that my plans and actions were very accurate.
Gu Yong was banned.
Although Gu Ti is smart, he is not strong enough.
Lu Xun was in a state of shrinking from everything now.
Zhu Zhi was a little withdrawn and did not want to enter the venue for the time being.
Therefore, Zhang Yun is the only one who sells his old face, which still has some weight.
This is why Gu Ti came to Zhang Yun to show off his skills.
There are naturally risks involved in doing this, but now Zhang is considering whether he wants to take this risk.
Zhang Yun looked at Gu Ti's young face, delicate and translucent skin, and then looked down at his old hands, which were like shriveled chicken feet, and suddenly felt that he was indeed old, and...
I can’t say that my time is running out…
Zhang Wen is Zhang Yun's youngest son, and he can be regarded as a son of old age.
After all, the current survival rate of children in the Han Dynasty has always been relatively worrying.
Zhang Yun pondered for a long time, stood up, and walked to the front of the court.
Tingtao Hall, naturally there are trees planted around it.
Zhang Yun turned his head and said, "The tree in the courtyard was planted on the day the dog was born... Although it has branches and leaves that are tall and long, it is still afraid of insects and axes..."
Gu Ti's eyes moved slightly, and he understood immediately. He stood up, bowed his head and saluted: "If Mr. Zhang takes action... Gu family will definitely protect this tree with deep roots and lush leaves, so that it can grow into a forest!"
Zhang Yun took a breath, nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "In this case, my nephew might as well go back first and just wait..."
Gu Ti quickly lifted up the hem of his shirt and kowtowed to Zhang Yun, "My nephew is entrusting me to my uncle!"
"I know that my nephew is worried now and can't live here..." Zhang Yun smiled and stepped forward to help him up. "But from now on, I will treat this place as my home. I will come and go frequently to show my closeness."
"I will obey my uncle's order." Gu Ti nodded and said, "nephew, farewell..."
Zhang Yun nodded and asked the steward to send Gu Ti out, but he stood under the tree, looked up, stroked the tree, and sighed slightly.
