Chapter 59: United Boycott
With Changsun Wuji's political wisdom, he was only slightly stunned, but he soon saw through the sinister and vicious hidden in this list!
How could this mean that he was forced to open the academy to the disciples of Guanlong under pressure?
He simply wants to make the Guanlong family distraught and alienated!
Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Shuzi is vicious, and he actually uses such heart-wrenching tactics to mess with the hearts of our people in Guanlong! This list must not be spread out!"
Once this list is circulated, you can imagine that the second sons and concubines will cheer for joy. Who doesn't want to become a student of the academy, be promoted to the "Emperor's Disciple", and then open up a road to heaven, relying on the shackles of the family, to rise to the top?
Chu Suiliang spread his hands and said, "But Fang Jun only recognizes these people on the list. What can he do?"
Changsun Wuji thought for a while, called a servant in, and ordered: "Immediately take my name and go to all the families in Guanlong, and invite all the family heads to meet and discuss countermeasures."
"Here!"
The servant left in a hurry.
Chu Suiliang asked in surprise: "What does the Duke want?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Unite all the families and boycott this list!"
Chu Suiliang thought about it and thought it was a good idea...
…
Soon, the heads of various families came in a hurry after being assassinated by Changsun Wuji.
In the flower hall, Changsun Wuji threw the list on the table, looked around, and said coldly: "Fang Jun has a vicious mind. If the second son and bastard of each family are allowed to enter the academy according to this list, he will become the emperor." Being a disciple is like having a ladder to the sky. Once ambition grows, if one refuses to obey the family's arrangements, there will be many hidden dangers and the consequences will be disastrous."
Everyone here is a big boss of the Guanlong family, they are well-informed, and those who are in charge of Nuo Da's family business are the best at manipulating people's hearts. As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, they all realized the dangers involved.
"This guy Fang Jun is vicious and vicious. He wants to destroy our foundation and make our family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, fall apart in internal strife! How can we sit back and watch and let him act arrogantly? The second son and Guan There is no conflict between the forces of Long, so we might as well do one without stopping and avoid future troubles forever!"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties with a long beard and a slim appearance. He looked very elegant and suave, but at this moment he was speaking harsh words and had a ferocious look on his face.
It was Linghu Defen's son Linghu Xiuji...
When he said these words, the flower hall suddenly fell silent.
Over the years, Fang Jun has been the knife in the hands of His Majesty Li Er, slashing at the Guanlong nobles one by one. Although he has no intention of destroying Guanlong, the trend of suppression and weakening is very obvious, which makes the Guanlong family very passive.
Especially a few years ago, the people of Guanzhong were incited to burn down the centuries-old foundation of the Yuan family on the charge of "burying a living person". As a result, such a family with the blood of the Northern Wei royal family was destroyed in one fell swoop. I hate it so much.
Avoiding future troubles... is actually not difficult.
The Guanlong nobles made their fortune through military exploits. Their ancestors were the pillars of the army in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Many of their children joined the army, and the most important ones were assassins.
No matter how brave Fang Jun was, he had no hope of surviving under the assassination of a dead soldier.
It's just that the strong shock and subsequent changes caused by this are not something they can control. Once His Majesty the Emperor's reason is burned by anger... what is about to happen will be a huge and earth-shattering change. If Li The Second Majesty went his own way and did not care about the turmoil of the court and the loss of the great situation of the empire, which was enough to bury all the nobles of Guanlong.
Therefore, this is a dead end and should never be taken unless absolutely necessary.
An old man with white hair and beard sitting under Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly, glanced at the indignant Linghu Xiuji, looked quite unhappy, and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "Now the world is at peace, and your Majesty's prestige is growing. , it is neither the time when the North and the South are confronting each other, nor is it the time when the heroes of the late Sui Dynasty came together to cause chaos in the world. Those who fight and kill must be external and internal, and there must be more exchanges of interests and alliances with each other. At such an old age, I still know how to deal with the times. Why are you young people so violent when it comes to advancing together?"
Linghu Xiuji was so sarcastic that his face flushed with anger, but he dared not speak in anger.
This old man is Yuchi Yanshan, the head of the Yuchi family, one of the "Six Great Surnames of Xianbei". His ancestor is Yuchi Jiong, the Great Sima, Taishi, and Shangzhu Kingdom of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Although the Yuchi family has gradually fallen into decline over the years, its prominent status has destined it to always be the backbone of the Guanlong nobles.
Even Linghu Defen must be respectful in front of Yuchi Yanshan and dare not say anything false, let alone a junior like him, Linghu Xiuji?
Changsun Wuji glanced at Linghu Xiuji indifferently, feeling quite disdainful in his heart. The Linghu clan of Dunhuang had no outstanding descendants since Linghu Defen, and he was afraid that he would never be able to regain the glory of his ancestors.
But isn't this the current situation of the entire Guanlong nobility?
Each generation is not as good as the last, and sooner or later everyone will disappear...
Taking a breath, Changsun Wuji looked at Yuchi Yanshan and said politely: "I have called everyone here today because I want to unite our advance and retreat. Fang Jun's treacherous plan is like Sima Zhao's heart. Everyone on the road knows it, and we must never follow it. We must follow the marked path, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Therefore, I urge you to join the Changsun family in boycotting this list and rejecting all the children approved by Fang Jun who agree to join the academy. This is to express your protest and hope that Your Majesty can intervene. "
For the sake of the list, he had already gone to His Majesty Li Er and humbled himself once, and His Majesty also gave him face. If he goes to ask Your Majesty again now, regardless of His Majesty's intentions, his eldest son, Sun Wuji, cannot afford to lose this face. .
Then we can only take a roundabout strategy to resist Fang Jun's list and let the world see that the Guanlong nobles are tightly united. Such a huge burst of energy is enough to make the world look at them.
How can His Majesty Li Er sit firmly on Diaoyutai?
Yuchi Yanshan's old face covered with age spots was thoughtful. After a long while, he slowly turned his head, looked at the other old man beside him, and asked, "My dear brother, what do you think?"
This old man is younger, but his beard and hair are white, and he is in good spirits. He stroked his beard with his hand. After hearing the words, he thought for a moment, nodded and said: "The strategy of auxiliary machine is very suitable for me!"
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "It is an eternal law that the clan members of aristocratic families will inherit. Only in this way can the continuation of the family be guaranteed. But while all the family resources are tilted towards the eldest son, as the eldest son, Second sons and concubines are also an indispensable part of the branches of the family. A single tree cannot make a forest. Without the help and dedication of these second sons and concubines, how can we revitalize the family business and shine the lintel? However, the priorities must be distinguished, and the secondary ones must be distinguished. Sons and concubines can only be vassals of the family, and can never be superior to the eldest son! And Fang Jun's list will give the second sons and concubines of each family a path to heaven, and they will become the disciples of the emperor, and their worth will be doubled at the same time. , and gained a broad network of contacts in the academy, making it difficult for the family to control him in the future."
Yuchi Yanshan nodded repeatedly and sighed: "That's exactly it!"
Everyone understood why Yuchi Yanshan sighed.
The ancestors of the Yuchi family were nobles who served in the army for generations. In recent years, they have gradually become silent. However, there is one person in the family who is famous and has made unparalleled achievements, and that is Yuchi Jingde, the Duke of E. It stands to reason that the children of the clan are so outstanding and have made great achievements following His Majesty Li Er in the south and north, and the family will naturally benefit from it, but this is absolutely not the case.
Yuchi Jingde is a distant branch of the Yuchi family. He has not received much care from the family since he was a child, let alone spending resources to train him. Therefore, after Yuchi Jingde came to power, he was very indifferent to the family. As the head of the family, Yuchi Yanshan did not care about him at all. Dare to ask Yuchi Jingde to give back to the family.
His son's qualifications were ordinary. Not only did he not develop enough, he even found it difficult to defend Chengdu. Once Yuchi Jingde intervened in the clan with great power, it would inevitably lead to a situation of strong branches and weak branches. At that time, it would be difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior, and it would be difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior. Not only is there no benefit to the family, but it is actually a huge crisis.
Therefore, the second son or concubine must never be allowed to obtain the opportunity to reach heaven and escape from the control of the family.
Even if it cannot be suppressed, it must be separated and set up another branch, which is not affiliated with the direct branch academy.
The Pei family in Hedong is the best example.
The ancestor was Qin Feizi, the ancestor of the First Emperor of Qin, who later granted the land to "pei" (Shang Fei Xia Yi), so he took it as his surname. During the reign of King Xi of Zhou Dynasty, Sun Ling, the sixth generation, was granted the title of King of Jie Yi. He left "Yi" and adopted "Yi", taking "Pei" as his surname. Later, the Pei family was divided into three branches, but when looking at the origin of their genealogy, they all originated from the Pei family of Wenxi, so there is a saying that "there is no second Pei family in the world".
