Gao Yuan glanced at Zhang Guangdao, who was lying on the ground, with disdain in his heart. With such little psychological quality, he still wants to join the officialdom?
Take a shower and go to bed early.
Gao Yuan actually didn't know what happened. Logically speaking, Zhang Yingxue became His Majesty's woman, and the Zhang family became relatives. The Zhang family should have prospered, but Zhang Guangdao was suddenly dismissed.
There must be a reason.
Zhao Shan didn't say anything, and Gao Yuan didn't ask out of curiosity. Sometimes it's safest not to know.
Gao Yuan looked at the dazed Zhang Guangdao and scolded: "Zhang Guangdao, you still don't accept the order?"
Zhang Guangdao was unwilling to give in, gritted his teeth and asked: "Why, why did Your Majesty suddenly dismiss me from my official position? I, Zhang Guangdao, work hard and do not dare to neglect at all. I am not convinced, not convinced."
Gao Yuan is not a little eunuch.
An ordinary young eunuch might be frightened or afraid of Zhang Guangdao.
Gao Yuan, however, would not be manipulated by Zhang Guangdao. His eyes were cold and his murderous intent was revealed. He said in a cold voice: "Don't you know what you have done? If you dare not be convinced, you must be disobeying the order."
brush!
Zhang Guangdao's expression changed drastically.
For a moment, he thought about Zhang Yingxue, and the only way to use Zhang Yingxue to plot against Yu Song was to use the emperor.
This should be it.
Zhang Guangdao thought that he had taken advantage of the emperor and angered the emperor. He was completely desperate and said dejectedly: "Zhang Guangdao, accept the order and thank you."
Gao Yuan snorted and left.
Zhang Guangdao fell to the ground, his old face full of despair. The attendants on the side saw it, but did not dare to ask. After a while, Zhang Guangdao stood up, hunched over, and turned back to the study to be in a daze.
Zhang Guangdao sat there for two-quarters of an hour before he recovered from his depression and decisively ordered his family's attendants to see Zhang Yingxue to inquire about the specific situation.
Not long after, the attendant came back and said he saw no one, so he was kicked out.
Zhang Guangdao was even more desperate.
The plot against Yu Song must have failed.
Zhang Guangdao thought that he was dismissed from office as the price he paid to deal with Yu Song. Such a price cannot be borne by him alone, but must be shared by everyone.
Zhang Guangdao ordered people to invite people from various families such as Wu Junyan, Yu Yong, Bai Wanli and Zhou Xin to discuss matters.
Everyone gathered together and Zhang Guangdao said: "I was dismissed from my official position by Your Majesty because of his conspiracy against Yu Song. Now that the Zhang family is in trouble, please lend a helping hand and help the Zhang family. At the same time, we must further deal with Yu Song and cannot let him Yu Song shows off his evil deeds.
Wow! !
There was an uproar in the hall.
Everyone was extremely shocked. They didn't expect that Zhang Guangdao would be dismissed just after he became the county guard.
Wu Junyan asked: "What did Duke Zhang do that caused him to be dismissed from office by His Majesty?"
Everyone also looked over.
Very curious.
Zhang Guangdao hid some content and explained: "In order to deal with Yu Song, I asked Yingxue to persuade your majesty to dismiss Yu Song, but because of this, I offended your majesty and was dismissed from his official position."
"Yu Song has a strong personality and abandons his family. He targets the big families in Yangzhou and poses a great threat to the families in Yangzhou."
"I lost, but we, the Yangzhou clan, cannot give up. After much thought, I believe that the strategy to overthrow Yu Song needs to be adjusted, and that all families need to cooperate."
"Let's boycott Yu Song."
Zhang Guangdao thought a lot in his mind and already had a clear strategy in mind. He continued: "For example, Yu Song wants to investigate the situation of local officials. The people who implement it will investigate together with the people to amplify the situation."
"Involve all the people, stir up the people's hatred, and let the people boycott Yu Song."
"Another example is when Yu Song wants to inspect a place. We arrange it in advance, tormenting the people to clean up the place and expel the poor people, which makes the people hate Yu Song's inspection."
"Another example is Yu Song's relief work for the victims. We either incited countless people to grab the relief food, or used water-like gruel, or rice mixed with sand, so that the poor people could not get relief."
Zhang Guangdao said loudly: "If everyone follows this strategy, I don't believe Yu Song can secure the position of governor of Yangzhou. What do you think?"
Everyone was thoughtful.
On the surface, Zhang Guangdao's idea seemed good, but what Zhang Guangdao did was tantamount to going against the emperor.
This was a strategy to resist the emperor.
It's going to be liquidated.
Wu Junyan was courageous and had ambitions to climb up, and he was even more reluctant to get involved. After all, Zhao Shan said that he would assess and select talents in Prince Wu's Mansion.
Wu Junyan believes that the family has greater hope.
With hope, Wu Junyan was unwilling to take any more risks and said without hesitation: "Mr. Zhang, we do have to consider the interests of the big family, but we can't act like this. What you are doing is tantamount to going against His Majesty. Our Wu family will not do this." Do it. I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave.”
Yu Yong took a deep look at Zhang Guangdao, waved his sleeves and said, "My Yu family doesn't agree either, so I'll say goodbye!"
"Farewell!"
Zhou Xin got up and left.
Everyone left one after another, and in a blink of an eye, only Zhang Guangdao was left in the hall.
Zhang Guangdao looked at everyone who was coming and going in a hurry. He was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and overturned the tea bowl on the desk to the ground. He cursed: "Damn it, you are a bunch of ungrateful people."
Zhang Guangdao was furious, furious, and fell into despair.
He is not willing to give in!
He didn't want to end up like this.
But people's joys and sorrows are never the same. Zhang Guangdao was sad, angry and desperate, and the Zhang family was panic-stricken, but Yu Yong was different.
Yu Yong left the Zhang family and returned to the Yu family, but murderous intent grew in his heart. Zhang Guangdao's scheme against Yu Song was really abominable.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Zhang Guangdao brought the blame upon himself.
Yu Yong is the helmsman of the Yu family. For the sake of the family's interests, he has no objection to the families boycotting Yu Song.
This can only be done in an upright and upright manner.
Once it's done, let the second child know how powerful the big family is and let the second child change his mind. Zhang Guangdao calculated by conspiracy, even if it was done, he would not be able to persuade the second child.
Besides, he didn't deal with Yu Yong's biological brother, so why should anyone else deal with him.
It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
Yu Yong called the housekeeper over and ordered: "Old housekeeper, if you continue to arrange it, all business contacts between the Yu family and the Zhang family will be interrupted. The same goes for the Yu family's supply to the Zhang family. In short, we will completely decouple and target the Zhang family."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment and asked: "Master, the Zhang family is not an ordinary family. Is this appropriate?"
Yu Yong's eyes suddenly turned sharp and he said, "What's inappropriate? This old dog Zhang Guangdao has bullied my brother. Don't you want me to take revenge? When did Zhang Guangdao dare to yell in front of the Yu family?"
The butler understood immediately.
This involves Yu Song.
The housekeeper is an old man of the Yu family who has watched Yu Yong grow up. On the surface, he is opposed to his younger brother Yu Song, but he is proud of Yu Song and everything he has done, but he has never shown it.
No one can scold Yu Song except him.
The housekeeper arched his back and said without hesitation: "Master, I will make arrangements immediately."
Yu Yong waved her hand, and the old housekeeper turned around to make arrangements.
The people of the Yu family took action and it was put into operation in a short period of time. The news spread out and the families in Yangzhou who were originally very sensitive got the news immediately.
People from each family took action upon hearing the news.
While Yu Yong was waiting at home, an attendant came in and reported: "Master of the house, Wu Jun seriously requests to see you."
"please!"
Yu Yong gave the order.
The attendant went to make arrangements, and soon Wu Junyan entered the study and exchanged simple greetings with Yu Yong.
After a while of clichés, Wu Junyan changed the topic and said, "I heard that the Yu family has terminated all cooperation with the Zhang family. The Wu family also looks down on black sheep like the Zhang family."
"The Wu family lent a sum of money to the Zhang family before. The money was not much, only 80,000 taels of silver. It's time for the Zhang family to repay it."
"The contact between the Wu family and the Zhang family has also been interrupted."
Wu Junyan looked like he was speaking righteously and said, "Everyone in my Wu family has to follow the lead of the Yu family."
Yu Yong smiled and said: "Master Wu, you're welcome. All families are connected. No one is the head or the tail. They all cooperate with each other. The Gu family has fallen. Now the Zhang family has done evil and needs to be dealt with. Each of our families will fight for it." benefit."
Wu Jun said sternly: "Master Yu is right."
After some pleasantries, the two reached an agreement, and Wu Junyan stood up to leave.
After Wu Junyan left, Bai Wanli, Zhou Xin and others came to visit one after another, and they all expressed their intention to cut off contact with the Zhang family and pursue the Zhang family's materials and money.
For example, the Zhang family bought grain from the Bai family to make wine, but the payment had not yet been settled. The Bai family asked the Zhang family to settle the matter immediately. Or maybe the Zhang family ordered cloth, but was refused delivery.
Under various circumstances, all contacts with the Zhang family were completely cut off and the Zhang family was isolated.
Everyone knows that the Zhang family is gone, Zhang Yingxue has lost power, while Yu Qinghuan of the Yu family is favored, and Yu Song is the governor of Yangzhou.
If you don’t curry favor with the Yu family, who will you curry favor with?
When Zhang Guangdao was resting at home, he was still thinking about ways to turn the situation around and how to rise again.
He lost his official position for the sake of the wealthy Yangzhou family.
He was unwilling to give in.
He could no longer serve as an official, but he felt at least relieved after overthrowing Yu Song.
Zhang Guangdao failed to contact Yu Yong, Wu Junyan, Bai Wanli and others, and these people did not follow his advice. But once Yu Song comes to power and drastically cuts off the interests of each family, these people will always come back.
Driven by interests, various families can only unite around him. At that time, he will unite everyone to resist Yu Song and let everyone distort Yu Song's policies.
Yu Song will definitely be defeated!
"Yu Song, Yu Song, I will definitely make you fall off your horse and make you pay the price. Your Yu family, I will definitely destroy it completely, so that your Yu family members will completely lose their chance."
Zhang Guangdao murmured to himself.
His eyes flashed with deep hatred.
While Zhang Guangdao was constantly comforting himself, resolving himself, and encouraging himself, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and the housekeeper rushed in and said loudly: "Master, something serious has happened."
Zhang Guangdao scolded with a cold face: "How unbecoming is it to be in a panic? Look at me, even if you are dismissed by His Majesty, even if the family suffers huge losses, you will not panic at all. You have disgraced the Zhang family. "
The housekeeper said anxiously: "Master, something really big has happened. All the families have cut off contact with our Zhang family. Some are urging for debts, some are urging for goods, and some are cutting off supply. The family is completely shut down."
The expression on Zhang Guangdao's face froze, then became frightened, and finally his eyes turned into despair.
puff!
Zhang Guangdao spurted out a mouthful of blood, closed his eyes and fell to the ground, completely unconscious.
