And now that Fang Jun is about to take over as Jing Zhaoyin, most of the Guanlong family's properties are around Chang'an, and they are all under Fang Jun's power. I can't even imagine what kind of retaliation they will receive in the future...
…
That's why everyone gathers here to discuss countermeasures.
Changsun Wuji gave a wry smile, moved his fat body, and sighed: "What kind of regulations can I have? In order to deal with foreign affairs, we must first settle the internal affairs. If we can't sit together internally to deal with the outside world, how can we fight against Fang Jun? You know, Fang Jun
The person standing behind Jun is Your Majesty!"
Don't blame him for saying such words.
The Guanlong family was an interest group based on the twelve generals of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Over the past hundred years, although there were many conflicts within the group due to conflicts of self-interest and political demands, in the Sui Dynasty
In the later period, because the prince Yang Yong they supported was defeated and died in the fight for the throne, the cruel political environment forced everyone to put aside their prejudices and unite the front to advance and retreat together.
Then he enjoyed huge dividends in the process of supporting the Li family in Longxi...
With the support of the Guanlong Group, the Li family in Longxi aspired to become the world's leader. The Guanlong Group also became the largest political force in the world, firmly suppressing the Jiangnan gentry and Shandong aristocratic families.
But now, signs of division appear again.
The Dou family was frightened by the emperor's suppression. The Hou Mo and Chen family's weakening power had no bearing on the overall situation. The Yuwen family had completely become the emperor's lackeys. The Dugu family had always had a transcendent status, so naturally they were unwilling to mess with this muddy water...
I think that the Guanlong Group, which was once so powerful, now feels like it is falling apart.
Of course, an important reason for the current situation of advancing or retreating is that Fang Jun is too troublesome. If you use inducement to lure him, he is known as the "God of Wealth", and the family's copper coins may be worth a lot of money; if you use force to suppress him, he is known as the "God of Wealth".
With the support of His Majesty behind him, even the general manager of the City Shipping Department who was transferred out was replaced in the blink of an eye. However, in the blink of an eye, he was about to take up the post of Jing Zhaoyin. This is a high-ranking official of the second rank, and he has almost reached the pinnacle of an official...
How to deal with such a soft and hard stick that won't eat?
Linghu Defen had a headache, and he looked at Yu Zhining, who had been silent all this time: "Brother Zhong Mi is the prince's concubine, and the prince Zhan Shi is both the prince's mentor and a close minister of the East Palace. Why should he treat the prince's gains from the south of the Yangtze River?"
All the wealth and goods were dedicated to His Majesty without any prior knowledge, which made our families passive. Not only did we give up the money without getting His Majesty's pleasure, but it even caused ridicule among the people in the market?"
This is a bit harsh to say, but this is indeed the reason for Yu Zhining.
If you don't even know about this big thing in advance, what are you doing around the prince?
Yu Zhining's old face sank slightly, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Linghu Defen, and said lightly: "This matter is too sudden. Not only did I not know about it in advance, but also several other East Palace officials were not aware of it at all.
It was someone’s negligence.”
How could anyone know?
The fact is that even His Highness the Crown Prince himself did not know and was completely coerced by Fang Jun...
Linghu Defen thought that his status was much higher than that of Yu Zhining, and immediately said displeasedly: "We, the Guanlong Group, are of the same spirit and should take care of each other. Why is Brother Zhong Mi pushing the envelope like this? This is not the case.
It’s the way to work together.”
Yu Zhining felt disgusted.
He had never had a good impression of Linghu Defen. This man was definitely talented, but he was quick at talking and clumsy at practical work.
Once Emperor Gaozu summoned his ministers to discuss state affairs and asked: "What can I do to become a king? What if I become a hegemon? Which one should be put first?"
Linghu Defen replied: "The king pays great attention to virtue, and the king is dedicated to punishment. Xia, Yin, and Zhou Quan became kings with benevolence and virtue. The Qin Dynasty was dedicated to punishment and hegemony. In the Han Dynasty, they used the way of kings and hegemons. Wei, Jin
Since then, the way of king and domination has been lost. If we use the way of king and dominion, the king’s way should come first, and there is nothing more difficult than this.”
Emperor Gaozu was very happy after hearing this...
In fact, in Yu Zhining's opinion, Linghu Defen was just talking nonsense.
What is the royal way? What is domineering?
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, all dynasties have been dominated by kings and tyrants. If one is only lenient to benevolence and does not impose penalties, the world will be full of bandits and social unrest. On the contrary, people will be resentful and wars will be everywhere. Yao and Shun ruled in the same way, and they continued to change dynasties.
; During the pre-Qin period, he was punished severely, and as a result, the second generation perished. The Han, Jin, and Sui Dynasties learned their lesson. Which dynasty did not have kings and hegemons at the same time? But the country was still subjugated!
Yu Zhining even dared to say that he might not be able to do well if Linghu Defen was asked to take off his literary reputation and be appointed as a county magistrate.
This is a self-righteous and self-righteous nerd!
After Yu Zhining listened to Linghu Defen's words, he looked at the people around him and saw that no one spoke up for him, and he was completely disheartened.
He stood up directly and said calmly: "I am getting old. I have recently planned to retire and take care of my old age. I really don't have the energy to devote to important matters. You can make your own decision and don't worry about your family. I will take my leave."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.
Everyone was dissatisfied with Zhining's performance in this matter, so when Linghu Defen beat him, no one supported him. But who would have thought that this old guy would be so hot-tempered that he kicked the table and stopped playing?
The most embarrassing person was naturally Linghu Defen, whose face was slapped by Yu Zhining!
Linghu Defen was so furious that he slapped the table in front of him and said angrily: "It's so unreasonable. Who are you looking down on? Can't you even say something? This person is really hateful and selfish to the extreme. He is in the family
All my property is in Luoyang, and Fang Jun and Jing Zhaoyin can’t take care of it anyway, so can I just ignore it and ignore it?”
It's a pity that Yu Zhining has already gone far away. Where can I hear his words?
Everyone present is despised. Why don't you roar like this in front of Yu Zhining if you can't stand it? You have to wait for them to go away before you get angry? But despise is contempt, Linghu Defen's last words are quite reasonable, Yu family
Its foundation is in Luoyang, which is also an important place for the state relocation and the establishment of a government. Fang Jun, a Jing Zhaoyin, has no control over it.
Why follow the muddy water?
He Lanshuo let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "People are so short-sighted, what should I do?"
Selfishly and with different agendas, the Guanlong Group, which had single-handedly created the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties in the past, has gradually turned from prosperity to decline, and is not far away from falling apart...
*****
As soon as the news came out that the imperial court had added the Jingzhao Prefecture to manage the capital, and that the five prefectures would be under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Government, it immediately set off an unprecedented turmoil in the Chang'an officialdom!
There is a pit for every carrot, and there are countless carrots. In the past, we often fought hard to grab the pits. Now there are suddenly countless more pits, and the carrots naturally have to use all their strength and sharpen their heads to dig into the pits.
…
Before the early Tang Dynasty, what people called "Shandong" did not only refer to the land of Qilu, but to the vast area east of Mount Wei or Huashan. Therefore, "Shandong heroes" did not refer to the Han Dynasty in Shandong...
In fact, during this period, the so-called "Shandong gentry" did not only refer to the aristocratic families still located in this area. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the upper class of the ruling class was in chaos fighting for the throne. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang and other ethnic minorities Taking the opportunity to enter the Central Plains, Chang'an and Luoyang were dilapidated and deserted. The middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, including Qilu, became a battlefield for various ethnic groups. Under this historical background, Sima Rui established the country in Jiangdong, and the Qilu family headed by the Langya Wang family followed to the south. And became the political pillar of the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was the "transfer to the south with clothes".
The Shandong gentry after crossing the river were called "Qiao surnames"...
Therefore, the relationship between the Shandong gentry and the Jiangnan gentry is inextricably linked.
In the early Tang Dynasty, due to the consequences of the struggle for hegemony in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Shandong gentry suffered from relentless suppression by the court. There were very few officials from the Shandong gentry in the court, and their political power dropped to a historical low.
In the mansion of Shen Guogong Gao Shilian, Zhang Xingcheng, the banner figure of the Shandong gentry in the court hall, came to pay a visit.
Zhang Xingcheng was just over 50 years old this year, and he was in charge of the affairs of his subordinates.
He was born in the Zhang family in Zhongshan. Compared with the Cui family, Lu family, Zheng family and other big surnames, his family is not prominent. However, it is precisely because of this that he was favored by His Majesty Li Er to take up this position. Otherwise, he would have been suppressed long ago. The family farmed.
In the process of fighting for world hegemony, the Shandong nobles put great pressure on the Li Tang royal family, and even almost supported Dou Jiande. Liu Heita and others killed the Li Tang royal family. How could the Li Tang royal family show mercy in the face of such an enemy?
