"Because the Gu family made a big mistake this time," Lin Xi said with a cheerful smile.
"The Gu family made a big mistake?" Yun Zheng frowned: "How do you say this?"
Lin Xi tapped the coffee table in the car with her index finger and said with certainty: "Tell me, what do the Shen family, the Gu family, the Qin family, and the Du family, these four great civil servant families, have in common?"
"What they have in common? Well, they are all from the famous founding ministers' families, they are all hereditary princes, they all have their own people in the court... and..." Yun Zheng counted them one by one.
"No need to think anymore, these are enough." Lin Xi smiled and said: "The most important point is that these four families are all nobles and civil servants, and they all have a group of forces in the court."
Yun Zheng nodded: "Yes, so what... Oh! I know! Hehe, the Gu family has really violated a taboo this time." Yun Zheng laughed.
Seeing that he understood, Lin Xi stopped pointing out that in fact, Yun Zheng had not thought about this matter before. If he really used his brain, it was not difficult to understand the relationship with Yun, Zhou, Leng, and Jiang Yongjun from the four major border towns. Similarly, the four great civil servant families of Shen, Gu, Qin, and Du also have their strength, that is, their children and disciples are all over the world, and the court is the focus of their competition.
The Shen family relied on the power of the Yun family's 200,000 troops to successfully overwhelm the Gu family, which they had been fighting with for decades, and became the first civil servant family in one fell swoop. This has always been a worry for the Gu family. Although there is an old head of the Gu family who is deader than Mr. Shen Cheng. The reason why he got it early, but the most important thing is that the Yun and Shen families worked together, both civil and military, to successfully push Wanchang from the prince to the throne and have the power of Conglong.
The combination of civil and military affairs was originally a taboo for all dynasties, and the Great Wei Dynasty was no exception. However, the Yun family and the Shen family were able to grasp one of the "degrees" of this, that is, there was absolutely no contact at all, let alone frequent visits. Letters and the like are exchanged, but when there are relatively important decisions in the DPRK, the opinions of the two families are always consistent and they have a very tacit understanding. Usually a matter that may harm the interests of either of the two families, with their common opposition Almost all of them are bankrupt
The certainty of "degree" lies in the fact that even though the Yun and Chen families have such an advantage in the court, their attitude towards the emperor has become more and more respectful. At this point, the comparison between the Yun family and the Zhou family is very obvious. Yun Lan turned the tide back then, His achievements were unparalleled in the world, and he defeated the elite main force of the Liao Kingdom in one battle. For many years, he did not dare to really think about going south to herd horses, but he never made any remarks about looking down on the Beijing army; on the other hand, Zhou Ye had obtained the After the great victory of Xiping, I now pay less and less attention to the Central Army. I often laugh at the Beijing Army and say that they can no longer even hold a sword.
As a result, Emperor Wanchang, the emperor who was originally favored by the Yun and Shen families, naturally became more and more inclined to them in his heart. However, the emperor is an emperor after all. No matter how inclined his heart is, for the purpose of balance, he will still handle it carefully. The relationship between these monarchs and ministers is not about doing anything partial in person.
Including this time when the Gu family got involved with the Zhou family under the guidance of the prince, Wanchang didn't think there was much to worry about. The two families joining together could balance out the Yun and Chen families, right? But the problem is, what did the Gu family do this time? Too hasty! Not only did they unite with the Zhou family, but they also got involved with those poor men in the court!
Whose favor was it to take the imperial examination? It was the emperor! It was the emperor who gave the gift of passing the imperial examination to those scholars who did not have a good background. These people were born to be sold to the emperor's family! But this time the Gu family actually took advantage of Wanchang to give
Yunzheng had a minor estrangement from a poor scholar because of his spot in the imperial examination, so he united with officials from a poor family to refute the imperial edict! This was simply a slap in the face to the emperor himself with the emperor's hand!
Let me ask, after such a thing has happened, how can Emperor Wanchang still endure it?
He called Yun Zheng back to Luoyang under the guise of participating in the ceremony of the Thirteenth Princess, and then used the Yun family's fists to defeat the Gu family's ambitions. This is why Emperor Wanchang actually agreed to the request of the Thirteenth Princess and recalled Yunzheng who was fighting.
The reason for Luoyang: In order to ensure that the Yun family - or Yun Zheng - could finally win this contest, the emperor even did not hesitate to cheat him a little: using the Seven-Fragrant Dragon Cart to take him back.
A carriage, but through the special nature of this carriage, the emperor almost told the courtiers and the people of the world clearly: I am behind Yun Zheng!
In this way, even those poor scholars who are really dissatisfied with Yun Zheng's Tanhua have to think carefully about whether they really want to continue to care about it.
The emperor is equal to righteousness. Even if the emperor is really wrong, it is just that there are villains and traitors around the emperor. The emperor himself is always the embodiment of justice.
Conflict with the emperor head-on over whether Yunzheng has the title of "Third Flower" on his head? Only a fool would do that!
Opposing the emperor's special gift of Yunzheng Tanhua is a manifestation of our system. Refuting the imperial edict is what we should do as loyal ministers. However, since the emperor insists... I haven't heard that if the emperor wants the minister to die, the minister has to die? More
What's more, it's just a third-year beauty!
Furthermore, the level that Yunzheng has shown now, not to mention the third prize, is what he can't do if he is given to the number one scholar? The third prize is the first prize. If he likes to check, let him check to the fullest. As long as we study hard for a few times.
The official position that I finally obtained after ten years has not wavered. Even if Yunzheng Yun Tanhua gave him all the peonies in Luoyang, it has nothing to do with him? Could it be that he can still refuse to let us go to the Peony Festival in the future?
?Love so and so
After Yun Zheng understood this truth, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart: This emperor is really powerful. He is the only one who can defeat Luoyang by standing still, saying nothing, and only sending a car to pick up people.
The wind direction of the city will change immediately!
"If that's the case, why are those imperial students still coming to make trouble with me?" Yun Zheng was surprised.
Lin Xi chuckled: "What else do you want the Gu family to do? Are you going to make a quick excuse to scold yourself, saying that you formed a clique, formed a party for selfish purposes, and had evil intentions? Or did you suddenly change your stance and say that you actually
I admire your peerless literary talent Yun Chengfengyuntanhua very much? Haha!"
Yun Zheng glared at him, frowned and said, "Are you saying that the Gu family is already riding a tiger?"
Lin Xi sighed: "I was already riding a tiger, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful today and calm down those people so easily. In this way, their situation has improved, but I am worried that they will go downhill."
Yunzheng's head suddenly got bigger, and there were a lot of twists and turns...
