Since ancient times, those who have made great achievements have always had a bad end.
The Yuan family of Runan is ranked first among the eight great families in the world, with four generations and three princes. The three princes are already extremely popular ministers. Four generations of their family have had people serving as three princes, and one of the first generation has two brothers serving as three princes.
What is the concept of a family having five prime ministers for four consecutive generations within a hundred years?
When the Yuan family in Runan has reached this point, there are only two ways to go -
Or make the best of your career and take a step further!
Either it will prosper and then decline, the family will decline, or even change to a male leader who will have to establish his power, which will lead to the disaster of overthrow!
How to choose is self-evident.
In fact, Gu Cheng had already made a judgment.
To pacify the Yellow Turbans, he activated Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, but did not give Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu a chance, and instead hinted at suppression.
Qiao Xuan knew it well, but was unable to do it in the end. He still let Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao go to the battlefield and obtain military exploits. This shows that the Yuan family has a deep foundation and great power in the court.
However, those who rebelled in the original history may not necessarily rebel in this life. Those who will rebel sooner or later are also very important when they enter the game.
Nowadays, there are hidden worries in the Han Dynasty, and there is injustice everywhere. Gu Cheng has not been in power for a long time, and the Yuan family is not moving. It is impossible for him to touch this most powerful family because of unfounded charges.
Having a famous teacher is very important. Now it is confirmed that the Yuan family supports the Yellow Turbans and shakes the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Gu Cheng's eyes flashed and he said slowly: "How to punish the Yuan family?"
Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, Yuan cannot take these 50,000 Taoist soldiers!"
Gu Cheng shook his head: "Even if it can't be taken away, the Yuan family itself has not lost anything. The imperial court even has to reward Yuan Shu for not being ashamed of his meritorious service."
Taiwei Yuan Fengde is highly respected. As his legitimate son, Yuan Shu will definitely be able to quickly climb up the ranks from the position of Huben Zhonglang with his achievements. I am afraid he will be another San Gong in the future!
Gu Cheng would never allow this to happen.
Jia Xu seemed very cautious about the Yuan family who had great power in the government. He read the battle report carefully and raised his eyebrows: "The two most powerful descendants of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu is appointed as Huben Zhonglang, and Yuan Shao is appointed as Assistant Army Sima?"
In fact, these two are both descendants of the Yuan family, so their official positions are very different.
Huben Zhonglang is an official subordinate to Huben Zhonglang. He is a middle-level general. In view of Yuan Shu's young age and not able to convince the public, this arrangement was made. It is obvious that the future Huben Zhonglang will be him. This is the top official.
The second generation paved the way early.
As for the assistant army Sima, it is a tragedy. It is not even a full-time position, but a temporary omen. For example, if Sun Jian is not appreciated by Gu Cheng, he will take this position.
This has something to do with Yuan Shao's resignation a few years ago, but the high status of the two brothers in the Yuan family can also be seen at a glance.
Gu Cheng also noticed: "Yuan Shu is the legitimate son, born to Yuan Feng's wife, Yuan Shao is a commoner, and his mother is a maid, so the status is naturally different. However, this kind of aristocratic family will not allow outsiders to sow discord. If there is an opportunity for brothers to fight against each other, they must live in harmony and be consistent.
foreign!"
Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu turned against each other in history, that was after they both became princes. Now they are still minor players. Even if there are internal conflicts, they will not be taken advantage of by outsiders.
"It is better to block than to block, and to tolerate is worse than to transform. Often this kind of harmony between concubines and concubines is the most terrifying hidden danger!"
Jia Xu rolled his eyes and thought: "Your Highness, when the Yellow Turban chaos is over, we can hold a celebration, banquet the ministers, recruit generals to the capital, and at the same time officially start selecting concubines!"
"oh?"
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, and Cai Wenji's little ears also perked up.
Jia Xu said: "Aristocratic families in the world, even if the Yuan family has a disobedient heart, they still send the most beautiful and virtuous women in the family. This is an open competition. If it were other things, the aristocratic families might be in the same boat.
, but fighting for the position of the future queen, it’s you and not me!”
Gu Cheng asked: "What's the key?"
He knew that the marriage of the emperor and even the prince were mixed with political factors, but after all, the selection of concubines was not the world's martial arts association, so how could the ladies from the aristocratic families enter the ring and compete in the knockout competition?
"dowry!"
Jia Xu said: "If I want to become His Highness's wife, how can I do it without spending some capital?"
Cai Wenji lowered her head slightly, Jia Xu observed her words, and immediately smiled and said: "It's just that they don't know that what His Highness is asking for is the harmony of dragons and phoenixes. He sincerely accepts it. The richer the dowry, the bigger the demands will be in the future. If Mrs. Yuan takes out a mysterious weapon at this time as
What will happen to the dowry?"
Gu Cheng pondered, and Cai Wenji couldn't help but interject: "Mr. Wenhe, this is impossible."
Cai Wenji was born in the Chenliu Cai family, which has a long history dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Cai Yong taught his daughter about history. At a young age, Cai Wenji has a deep understanding of the general trend of the world and the rise and fall of her family and country. She also knows that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
.
The eight great aristocratic families in the world have profound foundations and all possess mysterious weapons. However, on the surface, they only have the treasures passed down to them, indicating that they have no capital or ambition to build a country.
This kind of hidden clumsiness is the way to survive in the world. Unless the world is in chaos and dragons and snakes rise from the land, it will never show its edge.
The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family have actually committed a taboo and will not be able to do it for long. If they take out a mysterious weapon as a dowry at this time, it will be criticized by thousands of people. How can Yuan Feng do such a thing if he is mature and prudent?
"This is what our counselors are responsible for, sharing the worries of His Highness! But we can do it like this..."
Jia Xu slowly explained the series of plans, and finally concluded: "When the Yuan family becomes too powerful and takes the lead, Your Highness will suppress the eight aristocratic families together and create divisions and checks and balances!"
Cai Wenji's eyes showed admiration, but Gu Cheng thought for a moment and then said: "The Yuan family has deep roots and strong power. This is just a breath of bad breath, and it is far from the point of hurting the muscles and bones!"
Jia Xu was shocked when he heard this: "Your Highness, the Yuan family in Runan is an unusual family, so we must not touch it lightly!"
Gu Cheng shook his head: "Otherwise, I think now is the best time! Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei are old, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have not yet emerged, and they do not have the prestige to convince the public. In a few years, they will fully accept the Yuan family's influence.
It will be even more difficult to deal with! If you beat the snake, you will be harmed instead. I have a plan, please listen..."
As Gu Cheng revealed the plan, Jia Xu's pupils shrank and he fell to the ground: "Your Highness, this plan is dangerous, please think twice!"
"The aristocratic family has long been in trouble. Although the plan is dangerous, it can eliminate serious troubles. Nothing in this world is foolproof. I can afford to take the risk!"
Gu Cheng looked at Jia Xu: "Wen He, are you from the same lineage as Chisongzi and the same sect as Liuhou?"
Jia Xu knew that Gu Cheng would definitely investigate his origins, so he answered without hesitation: "Yes!"
Gu Cheng nodded, the breeze blew, and Shi Zixuan appeared: "Chisongzi transformed into Huangshi Gong and passed down the Emperor's letter to Liuhou. Later, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and the immortals took advantage of the failure of the Nine Dragons Absolute Immortal Formation to invade China in a large scale, trying to destroy the dragon veins of the Han Dynasty.
.The Earthly Emperor's Book came out of the dragon's tomb, destroyed ten immortals in one shock, and showed great power. However, because there was no dragon energy to worship, he was finally trapped by the immortals. In order not to be used by the immortals, the Earthly Emperor's Book was divided into three volumes of heavenly books.
It’s what Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang have in their hands!”
Gu Cheng pointed out five fingers, and a volume of books contained ups and downs: "The yellow scarf is not over yet, and I present the book to the Emperor of the Earth. This is a game that no one can do. Go, my wife!"
Zhang Liang's courtesy name is Zifang. Gu Cheng's words are undoubtedly affirmation and expectation. Even though Jia Xu is an old and cunning person, his blood boils and he responds loudly: "Promise!"
Outside the palace, the bright sun rising in the sky happened to break through the clouds. Jia Xu couldn't help but stop and stare, with high spirits.
Once upon a time, he wanted to pick a mediocre person who had no independent opinions, just follow his advice and show off what he had learned.
But at this time, he discovered that being able to assist a hero like the prince and achieve unparalleled achievements is what a man wants!
Magnificent events, the curtain opens!
