The aristocratic family in Shuzhong is a bit numb now.
Because the Liu Bei Group was treated in a semi-cooperative and semi-confrontational manner before, now when the interests may be damaged, there is no one who can speak in front of Liu Bei.
This group of people was really at their wits end and even set their sights on Liu Yin.
For example, Zhang Shen, the head of the Zhang clan, asked Liu Shen, the head of the Liu clan, if he could talk to Zhang Xi through Liu Yin.
It seems that they heard that Liu Yin is now in a high position under Zhang Xi, and Liu Yin had the experience of working under Chen Dao before. As long as one of the two can help them pass the message, they will have a reason to mobilize public opinion in Shu. , forcing Liu Bei not to move the capital easily.
But one thing to say is that this is a blind thought.
Putting aside whether Liu Yin has such a great reputation, even if Chen Dao is from Liu Bei's bodyguard and Zhang Xi is from Yingchuan, why should they two be shouting for the benefit of your Yizhou family? !
Therefore, Zhang Shen's words were directly met with a blank stare from Liu Shen. The one who cheated was not your son, right? !
Seeing that if this continues, it will not be a problem for a while, Li Yu thought for a moment, coughed, and said, "For today's matter, we probably need to cooperate with those people to dissuade the emperor from returning to Chengdu as soon as possible. "
In fact, Li Yu, an old fox, had already thought about how to solve this problem.
Now it is too late to deepen cooperation with the Liu Bei Group and allow people from within the clan to serve in the Liu Bei Group. This matter can be fixed and done later, but the practical problems still need to be solved.
You must be able to speak in front of Liu Bei, and you must also be able to prevent Liu Bei from moving the capital to Chang'an. There is no other way except cooperating with those people.
And those people are actually talking about Dongzhou people.
However, the grudges between the Yizhou faction and the Dongzhou faction are no longer a matter of a day or two. This can even be traced back to the time when Liu Yan controlled Yizhou, and it was a grudge that lasted for decades.
In the early years, the Dongzhou people often robbed the Yizhou people of their interests, and the Yizhou people often killed the Dongzhou people. The two sides have always been incompatible.
In recent years, as Liu Bei entered Yizhou and brought the Jingzhou sect, the relationship between the Dongzhou sect and the Yizhou sect has been slightly eased. There is no way. Without easing, they will not be able to fight against the foreign Jingzhou sect.
But even so, the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction have never truly united.
But this time, Li Yu’s proposal was that the Yizhou faction wanted to use the power channel of the Dongzhou faction to seek the interests of the Yizhou native faction. How capable is he? !
"What do you mean by Mr. Li's words?!"
It was Zhang Shen again, looking at Li Yu in confusion and asked.
Li Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, and glanced at Zhang Shen subconsciously, but he was wondering whether he should find a way to distance himself from the Zhang family in Chengdu in the future. With his vision and brains, the Zhang family is not far away from decline, right? !
But on the surface, Li Yu still smiled and explained to Zhang Shen, "Those people may not be troubled by the things that trouble us. Although those people are from outside, their families are all in Shu. The emperor will not be around for a long time." How can those people sit back and watch when we return to court?!"
When Li Yu said this, Zhang Shen suddenly realized.
Li Yu's words are actually easy to understand. The other heads of the aristocratic families, as long as Li Yu opened his mouth to remind him, they all reacted. Zhang Shen was the only one who needed explanation.
Although the Dongzhou faction fled into Yizhou thirty or forty years ago, in the past few decades, they have taken root and developed in Shu. Otherwise, why would the Yizhou native faction have to target them? The Dongzhou faction is not because after entering Yizhou, they will dilute the interests that originally belonged to the Yizhou local faction.
But now, if Liu Bei really wants to move the capital to Chang'an, the interests of the Dongzhou faction will also be damaged, and the extent of the loss may be greater than that of the Yizhou native faction.
After all, the Yizhou native faction is a local powerhouse. They have survived and developed in Yizhou for hundreds of years, even two or three hundred years. They have a strong foundation and can withstand hardships, but the Dongzhou faction has taken root in Yizhou, that is, these few years. They cannot withstand such changes and turbulence in ten years.
Therefore, leaving aside other things, the interests of the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou local faction are actually the same when it comes to opposing the relocation of the capital.
The Yizhou local faction has a great influence among the people, but it has no say in the court, while the Dongzhou faction has a large influence in the court, but its influence among the people is average. If the two parties cooperate, even the Jingzhou faction may not be able to If he can confront him head-on, he might even be able to persuade Liu Bei to change his mind.
After all, the core interests of the Jingzhou faction are in Jingzhou. At this time, Jingzhou has not been lost. There is no need for the Jingzhou faction to fight with the Shu family and the Dongzhou faction. For them, Liu Bei's move to the capital does not have much benefit or great consequences. The downside is that I won’t oppose it desperately.
In this case, when the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction unite, only Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and a few others need to be persuaded, so the chance of winning is still very high.
After thinking about these reasons, Zhang Shen immediately made a suggestion and said, "Now Shangshu Ling Fa Xiaozhi is in Hanzhong. We can send people to Hanzhong to meet with Shangshu Ling secretly and explain the matter vigorously, and ask Shangshu Ling to report it on his behalf. Please ask the emperor to return to the capital."
As soon as Zhang Shen said this, Li Yu couldn't sit still.
Really, Li Yu has really made up his mind to stay away from the Zhang family in Chengdu in the future. When he goes back, he will discourage the marriage between Li's fourth wife and the Zhang family.
The head of the family only has this IQ, and it is only a matter of time before Mr. Zhang becomes lonely.
If you don’t have anyone to look to, why should you look to Fa Zheng? !
Yes, Fazheng was a representative figure of the Dongzhou faction and also held a high position. As a minister, Liu Bei must take his words seriously.
But you may have forgotten where Fazheng is from? !
Fa Xiaozhi is from Youfufeng!
Now that Liu Bei has regained Chang'an and returned it to his old capital, he is really hoping that Liu Bei will just move the capital to Chang'an so that he can return home in glory.
Another thing is, you don’t want to correct that temper, that petty spirit. Is he the kind of person who talks about his interests to you? !
If you dare to talk to him about this matter today, he will dare to sell you to Liu Bei tomorrow. At that time, apart from being suspected of "threatening the emperor" and making Liu Bei disgusted, what else can the Shuzhong family do? !
This man is actually the head of the Zhang family. It seems that the Zhang family in Shu is really going to decline.
Li Yu didn't want to pay attention to this idiot, and turned to look at the others.
At this time, Liu Shen spoke.
"Li Yan, the governor of Jiangzhou, is an upright man and willing to help others. We may be able to talk to him and urge the emperor to return to the capital." Liu Shen said.
After hearing this, Li Yu thought for a moment and nodded. The Liu family is really amazing. With such vision, it's no wonder they can teach a talent like Liu Yin.
The three major representatives of the Dongzhou faction are Fazheng, Li Yan, and Meng Da. Nowadays, Fazheng and Li Yan are the best.
But Fazheng, let's face it, has a bad temper and average popularity. Although he is indeed valued by Liu Bei, he cannot represent the interests of all Dongzhou factions.
As for Meng Da, Liu Bei was always displeased with some things in his early years. Therefore, although he had considerable influence within the Dongzhou faction, his status in the court was never high, not even as high as that of Kou Feng, the prefect of Dongjun. The right to speak is greater.
After much deliberation, Li Yan was the only one who was not only a talking figure in the Dongzhou faction, he also controlled several counties outside the town, and was also a powerful figure in the court.
Of course, whether Li Yan is an upright person and willing to help others is not important at all. What is important is that Li Yan can talk to Liu Bei, and he himself has a good relationship with Zhuge Liang and others. This is enough.
After the matter has been discussed here, the appropriate response method has also come out.
Three days later, Li Yu, the patriarch of the Li family in Chengdu, went to Jiangzhou to meet Li Yan in person on the pretext of his granddaughter's marriage to Li Feng, the eldest son of Li Yan, the governor of Jiangzhou.
The purpose is to discuss the alliance between the two factions and persuade Liu Bei not to move the capital easily.
And Li Yan, Li Yan is not a fool.
As a representative of the Dongzhou faction, when did he, Li Yan, have friendship with the Chengdu Li family, a representative of the Yizhou native faction? !
How come you don’t know about this? !
In the past few years, the arrogant Li family of Chengdu often bullied the Dongzhou sect, and Li Yan was often ostracized and squeezed out. Otherwise, with Li Yan's talent, would he still be just a Chengdu order at the age of thirty? !
Still getting married? !
It's a good thing if you're not here to trick me.
There must be something fishy here.
But people came to see her with courtesy, and the discussion was still about marriage. Li Yan didn't want to be too disrespectful. It would be bad for everyone to make a tense situation, so Li Yan could only receive him with courtesy.
In public, the two treated each other politely and discussed the marriage of their children, but in private, Li Yan finally knew Li Yu's purpose. He came to prevent Liu Bei from moving the capital.
Don't talk about this, Li Yan is moved.
As analyzed by Li Yu and others, once Liu Bei moves the capital to Chang'an, the impact on the interests of the Dongzhou faction will indeed be very great.
The Dongzhou sect was originally a loose concept. People who migrated to Yizhou from places other than Yizhou can actually be classified as the Dongzhou sect.
Among these people, not all of them are like Fazheng and want to return home in fine clothes. Many of them have been in Sichuan for a long time. The Dongzhou sect that has already taken root in Shu does not want to bother anymore.
Another thing is that Li Yan is a representative of the Dongzhou faction, but the power of the Dongzhou faction has become weaker and weaker in recent years.
It’s not that Li Yan’s leadership was incompetent, it was mainly because people from the Dongzhou faction were mainly born in two places, one was Yongzhou Sanfu, and the other was Jingzhou. The Jingzhou faction entered Yizhou, and people like Fei Yi migrated to Sichuan not long ago. The Dongzhou sect has all changed its doors and become the Jingzhou sect. With the withdrawal of Sanfu, some of the original Sanfu aristocratic families who have been in Sichuan for a long time no longer want to go back and forth, but want to return to Sanfu Township and develop anew. Not nothing.
The power of the Dongzhou faction will inevitably be further weakened.
Logically speaking, Li Yan is from Nanyang. He can actually be related to the Jingzhou faction and be counted as a member of the Jingzhou faction.
But the problem is, Li Yan can be regarded as the representative of the interests of many people in the Dongzhou faction, but if he returns to the Jingzhou faction, who will you, Li Yan, be? !
Li Yan would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of an ox.
But there is no way to go on like this. The development of the Dongzhou faction has been very unsatisfactory in recent years. Although Fazheng has a high status, he basically doesn't care about things. Although Mengda is capable, he has always been suppressed by others in the three counties of Dongzhou. Kou Feng has always been suppressing him, and there is no chance for him to stand out for a while.
If this continues, the Dongzhou Faction will become weaker and weaker. And without the support of the Dongzhou Faction, Li Yan's position will become very embarrassing.
Therefore, Li Yan is actually in urgent need of foreign support, and now Li Yu has come to his door. If Li Yan does not seize this Dongzhou faction's last glorious opportunity, then he will not be Li Yan.
Li Yu stayed in Jiangzhou for three days. No one knows what he said to Li Yan.
But what everyone knows is that after Li Yu left Jiangzhou, news came out that the Chengdu Li family and the Jiangzhou Dudufu were about to get married, and Li Feng, the son of Dudu Li, would marry the legitimate daughter of the Chengdu Li family.
