The scroll of bamboo slips Yang Ci threw out was a bit interesting.
Recorded above is the list of "outstanding" disciples and former officials of the Hongnong Yang family this year and the number of personnel changes that can be promoted by the family's resources.
As the wings of the family, the disciples and former officials work for the family, improve the family's character, and enhance the family's political influence. These all require interests, and only in this way can the community of interests be united to the greatest extent.
The emperor needs to pay salaries when sending eunuchs, let alone when the family wants people to sacrifice their lives?
And this is not only the strong and prosperous foundation for the noble clan, but also the biggest obstacle for them when they need to make changes at critical moments.
Holding a double-edged sword in your hand feels really good when you stab others, but no one knows when the double-edged sword will stab you.
And now, it's time to stab yourself.
So Yang Biao let out a long sigh.
"Today I know that things are difficult in the world. Under the appearance of prosperity, every step is difficult. My father has worked really hard..."
Yang Ci looked at the bitter look on his forty-year-old son's face, and felt even more bitter and annoyed.
"If you can't stop them now, you won't be able to move forward in the follow-up. Even if the sword is pointed at Lu Ziqian, how can you stabilize yourself? The meat-eater is absolutely right. These short-sighted people only care about their immediate interests and never look at the long term. , but you can tell me what to do!"
Yang Biao thought about it and felt that he had finally wielded the first of the five lightning whips. If it stopped here, it would not be a political offensive, but a joke.
How would people from the ancient literature school view this operation of the modern literature school?
By asking around a bit, can we learn about the differences within the Jinwen school?
Can this be used to judge the current weakness of the modern literary school?
Will the current literary school lose the possibility of revival?
Yang Biao felt that this could not go on and something must be done.
"If we don't continue our plan because of some innocent concerns, and the plan is abandoned halfway, then everyone in the world will see our discord and failure. In this way, people's hearts will gather even more towards the false scholars, and we, the orthodox disciples of Confucius, will what can we do about it?"
Yang Biao saluted his father Yang Ci: "Being with those insects cannot save the crisis. Please think again, father. Even if we are the only family to advance this matter, we cannot do nothing and stop here. We must Do something!”
Yang Ci looked at his son.
"Do you mean to take something from our home and give it to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun?"
"If we were just a family, it would be really difficult to get in touch with people from Liangzhou and Jiangdong at the same time. I observe that there are not many talented people behind Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song himself is not very smart, and the identity of a Liangzhou person is even more difficult, far inferior to Zhu Jun, so My son suggested that I, Mrs. Yang, should make good friends with Zhu Jun and join forces with him."
Yang Biao gave his own suggestions.
Generally speaking, Yang Biao was not very optimistic about Huangfu Song's political quality, but he was very optimistic about Zhu Jun's political quality.
Moreover, Huangfusong was from Anding County, Liangzhou, and he was born with the label of being a Liangzhou native. He was the main target of regional artillery. Therefore, in his opinion, Huangfusong's political future was not as bright as Zhu Jun's.
Yang Ci hesitated for a moment.
"However, in terms of power in the army, Huangfu's generals have been powerful and influential in the Northern Army for generations. Zhu Jun was born in a humble background, and his power in the army is far less than that of Huangfu Song. If he makes good friends with Zhu Jun, he can replace Lu What are you doing? I’m afraid it’s going to be very difficult, right?”
Yang Biao shook his head.
"Although Zhu Jun comes from a humble background, he is quite resourceful and has military skills. From a junior official in a county to a high-ranking official in the imperial court, how can this not be Zhu Jun's ability? Besides, compared with the generals of Liangzhou, the contradiction between the people of Jiangdong and the imperial court Being younger and more acceptable, what does father think?"
Yang Ci thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Compared to the Liangzhou people, both the ancient and modern literary schools in the DPRK were indeed slightly friendlier to the Jiangdong people. The century-old Han-Qiang war really messed up the relationship between the Liangzhou people and the imperial control group, which was very embarrassing. With displeasure, the relationship is now quite tense.
"My son's words make sense. If so, please contact Zhu Jun."
Yang Biao was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude.
Then the father and son found the list that had been thrown out before, discussed some details on the list, and decided to "temporarily borrow" the resources of some of the disciples and former officials who had low status and weak family power. Part of it was used to win over Zhu Jun and his Jiangdong martial arts group.
Of course, it is not certain when the loan can be repaid. As for whether he will borrow the grain officer's head from Cao Cao, it will not be repaid at all, and it is hard to say.
With Yang Ci's approval, Yang Biao was quite confident about winning over Zhu Jun.
In order to show respect for Zhu Jun, who was the right general and Qiantang Marquis at the time, Yang Biao decided to visit Zhu Jun in person and discuss some detailed issues with him.
But when he went to Zhu Jun's residence to hand over the greeting card, his disciple told him that someone had already come to visit Zhu Jun.
Yang Biao was a little surprised, so he asked who the visitor was.
Menzi looked troubled.
"The master's visit is not something that servants like us can discuss."
Yang Biao understood, took out a bag of five baht money from his arms and stuffed it into Menzi's hand.
"Is that okay now?"
Menzi chuckled and put away the bag of five baht.
"It's Shangshu servant who shoots Zuo Cheng and Governor Kangtinghou Liu Bei."
Yang Biao was stunned.
"Liu Bei? When did he come?"
"I just came here not long ago, about two sticks of incense."
Menzi replied respectfully.
Yang Biao's heart sank, secretly thinking that it was not good, maybe Liu Bei had taken the lead.
Have the Ancient Literature School already figured out what they have done and what their goals are?
Otherwise, how could he come to visit Zhu Jun before him?
this……
But what to do?
Yang Biao felt uneasy, so he decided to go back quickly to discuss with Yang Ci, and asked his disciples.
"Wait until Liu Bei leaves before handing my greeting card to the prince. Don't let Liu Bei see it. Thank you very much."
With that said, Yang Biao handed over another bag of five baht money.
Menzi smiled and immediately expressed that he understood.
Yang Biao left in a hurry.
After Yang Biao left, Menzi weighed the two bags of five-baht coins, took out a small piece of gold from his arms and looked at it, his eyes narrowed as he smiled.
"You're from a wealthy family, and you want to get rid of me for just five baht? Liu Jun is so generous, hehe."
Menzi put away the money, looked at the Yang Biao greeting card in his hand, and then quietly put it away.
Anyway, no one else around saw it. As long as he didn't tell anyone, no one would know that Yang Biao had been here.
Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts.
Liu Bei understood this truth well.
At the same time, he also knew that the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister said that these gatekeepers were not just stupid people. They were also people with sharp ears and eyes. If they were not given some real materials, they would not do their jobs with all their heart.
At critical moments, they can often play an unexpected role.
Liu Bei indeed came to see Zhu Jun one step ahead of Yang Biao.
And should I say it, Liu Bei and Zhu Jun have a closer relationship than the Yang family and Zhu Jun are just strangers.
And the friendly relationship between Liu Bei and Zhu Jun's confidant Sun Jian is indispensable.
