Sometimes, the division of a family is not necessarily a bad thing for a big family. It may also be for the continuation and inheritance of the family.
The most famous split in history was naturally the Zhuge family, which placed the three brothers, dragon, tiger and dog, among Wei, Shu and Wu. No matter who won, the Zhuge family would never recover. Of course, Wei, Shu and Wu were finally unified by the Western Jin Dynasty.
This was something Zhuge didn't expect at first.
In fact, including the original Yang family of Hongnong, there was no way out. Only Yang Su, Yang Yue and other younger generations left Chang'an to join Li Xingchen, while the elders and many descendants of the family were still in Chang'an.
Until the end, the conflict between Li Xingchen and Yang Jian completely heated up, and there were still people left behind in the Yang family mansion.
Obviously the Yang family was also prepared for Li Xingchen's failure, at least the huge Hongnong Yang family would not be uprooted at that time.
This is just the most normal way for a big family to survive.
The Yuan family obviously had the same idea. Naturally, the Yuan family produced two forces.
Yuan Xie, who had been close to Yang Jian since childhood, brought Yuan Hao, Yuan Pang and other younger generations of the Yuan family to join Yang Jian, and played an irreplaceable role in Yang Jian's rise to power. Yuan Xie is still in Yang Jian's hands until now.
One of the few forces available.
The middle-aged and older generation of the Yuan family, headed by Yiguo Gongsheng and others, tend to support Yuwenxian and protect Yuwen, because most of them are old people who followed Yuwentai, Yuwenhu and Yuwenyong in the battlefield.
, witnessed the prosperity of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it can even be said that they have been inseparable from the Yuwen family and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so it is reasonable that they tend to protect the emperor and support Yuwen Xian.
In particular, Yu Chijiong's first wife, Mrs. Yuantai, was the daughter of Yuan Baoju, Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty, which deepened the connection between the older generation of the Yuan family and Yu Wenxian's forces.
It's just that the foundation of the Yuan family is ultimately in Guanzhong and Chang'an. After the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into the Eastern Wei and the Western Wei, the last emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty Yuan Shanjian and the prince Yuan Changren were poisoned by Gaoyang of the Northern Qi Dynasty. This branch of the Yuan family in the Eastern Wei Dynasty also
Even if it is cut off, the Yuan clan in Chang'an is the only inheritance of the Northern Wei royal family.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, the family will not be inclined to support Yu Wenxian who is far away in Hebei. In addition, since Yang Jian came to power, he has learned the lessons of the Hongnong Yang family and strengthened his efforts to win over the Guanzhong family, so naturally Yuan Xie and others
The dominant Yuan family lineage had the upper hand.
However, the current situation has changed. Who would have thought that Yang Jian would be defeated so quickly. Of course, the Yuan family cannot really be defeated with Yang Jian.
However, the overall situation has evolved into this. If the Yuan family is more inclined to strengthen its connection with Yu Wenxian, it will be no different from getting into trouble.
After Li Xingchen entered Chang'an, he did not give much trouble to the Yuan family. Although he was deprived of the titles of the Yuan family, many people from the Yuan family still served in the court, but their positions were relatively low. Now is the time to employ people, as long as
These people abide by their duties, and Li Xinchen has no intention of doing anything to them, but if they want to collude with Yang Jian or Yu Wenxian, then Li Xinchen will never be polite to them.
Although the former royal family of the previous dynasty no longer poses much of a threat, their reputation lies here. If they are honest, Li Xingchen does not mind using them as a good example to establish the tolerance of the new dynasty. Yu Wentai also used this at the beginning
The method has won the hearts of the people, so Li Xingchen can just repeat his old tricks, but if the Yuan family still wants to make some small moves, they are also a good choice to scare the monkeys.
But at least from now on, the Yuan family should be relatively honest, and even the appearance of Yuan Lexhang shows that they have begun to think of ways to please Li Xinchen, and have pinned their hopes for the survival and continuation of the family on the big man instead of Yu Wenxian. As for Yu Wenxian,
On Yuan Xie's side, the Han army entered Yinzhou, and Yuan Xie's attack on Lingwu failed, which had already destined those young people to become abandoned sons of the family.
Li Xingchen looked at Yuan Lexhang and joked: "There is a shortage of manpower in the palace now. All of my concubines are very ambitious. It is not a bad thing to have a helper. Just stay with Fan'er and come and sit with me when you have time."
sit."
Yuchi Chifan and Chen Yueyi exchanged a look, which was equivalent to Li Xingchen's permission for this matter. After all, they had made their own decisions before, but Li Xingchen obviously didn't mean to blame them, and just ridiculed them.
Yuan Lexhang hurriedly stood up and saluted: "My dear, thank you, Your Majesty."
"It's getting late, I still have something to say to Yue Yi." Li Xingchen said immediately.
Yuchi Chifan smiled slightly, and he and Yuan Lexhang bowed and left together.
Li Xingchen looked at their backs and felt a little strange: "How old is this daughter of the Yuan family, and she is not married yet?"
Chen Yueyi poured a glass of water for Li Xingchen. Seeing that Li Xingchen was indeed interested in Yuan Lexhang, she was also happy for her friend: "The Yuan family sister will be twenty-nine this year, a few months later than I am. After Yuwen ascended the throne, Yiguo
The Duke and Yu Wenxian had a close relationship, so originally the sister of the Yuan family should have entered the palace together with me, but when Yu Wenxian left Chang'an, Yang Jian stepped forward and removed the name of the sister of the Yuan family from the list."
Li Xingchen suddenly realized that historically, Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang entered the palace at the same time. Because the two got along very well, and they were almost the same age, they supported each other and soon got Yuwen's attention. In the end, one of them became Tian Zuo.
The queen, one became the Queen of Tianyou. But history has been changed beyond recognition by Yu Wenxian since he left Chang'an.
Because of Yu Wenxian's departure, Yang Jian no longer needed to worry about those forces that were leaning towards the royal family and Yu Wenxian, and began to focus on suppressing these political opponents who were still in Chang'an. As a result, Yiguo Gongsheng was idle at home, and the Yuan family began to lean towards
In cooperation with Yang Jian's actions, Yuan Sheng was also marginalized. Correspondingly, his daughter naturally did not need to enter the palace again. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that under Yuan Sheng's influence, Yuan Le Shang would be the opposite.
Became Yang Jian's resistance.
Now that Yuan Sheng has come back to take charge of the overall situation of the Yuan family, his daughter, who is almost over the age of marriage, has naturally become a means to please Li Xinchen, or a test. If Li Xinchen stays happily, then the Yuan family will
Naturally, you can move closer to Li Xingchen with peace of mind.
Therefore, I don’t know whether it was a mistake of Yin and Yang, or fate, that Yuan Lexhang entered the palace or appeared in front of the emperor. But compared to Chen Yueyi, who had already experienced a generation of emperors, she might be lucky.
"Your Majesty, it's dark at night, do you want to rest?" Chen Yueyi asked in a low voice.
Because of Yuan Lexhang's appearance, she had forgotten all the unpleasantness she had with Yang Lihua today.
