Of course, Yang Ci knew the dangers of stopping right now.
But whether it is more harmful to stop taking action or to continue taking action, he has to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
It's just that Yang Biao felt that the situation could no longer tolerate further weighing. If this continued, the whole of Luoyang would be able to see that the Jinwen School was a piece of mud that could not be helped.
How will the struggle continue in the future?
So under Yang Biao's repeated requests, Yang Ci had no choice but to go to discuss this issue with many families.
As expected, many members of the Jinwen school and the Yue family were shocked, shocked, and outraged by Yang's suggestion of extending an olive branch to Huangfu Song and the Liangzhou martial arts group behind him.
You said that you would extend an olive branch to Zhu Jun's Jiangdong warriors. Their status is low, their appetites are small, and they don't have any unjustifiable conflicts with the Central Plains scholars. Basically, both sides can reluctantly accept the other's existence. .
If Yang really wants to support him, it's not impossible, as long as he can use the political resources himself. It's not a bad idea for us to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and see the results.
But people from Liangzhou...it's really cool to stay there!
Father and son Yang Ci and Yang Biao ran around, but no one in the family relented, and several families even closed their doors, saying that you can go and have fun on your own.
The contradiction between the modern literature school and the ancient literature school can still be considered as an internal conflict within Confucianism. Although they are fighting to the death, they will not expel each other's [Han Book] or [Human Book].
As for the Liangzhou people, even their [Han nationality] and [human registration] would be expelled.
Have you become so insane now?
Then save it, there is no need to discuss this matter!
Several family heads who had barely met the Yang family father and son all expressed the same meaning in more euphemistic tones and words.
Sure enough, just as the Yang family and his son thought, all this was very difficult and difficult to carry out the work. After the first lash of the five consecutive lightning whips was struck, the second lash was no longer possible.
Aren't you afraid of being the butt of a joke?
Yang Biao was so angry that he almost asked.
However, the response was still the same indifference.
They are more afraid of losing their vested interests than becoming a laughingstock. They are afraid of losing what they should have, which is absolutely unacceptable.
joke?
Just laugh, what's the point?
As long as my children can easily become officials, as long as my family's business can be easily passed on, and as long as my family's wealth still belongs to my family, does the rest matter?
So at nightfall, Yang Biao expressed his feelings to Yang Ci.
"Father, my son has decided to take the initiative to meet Huangfu Song."
"Have you decided?"
Yang Ci looked at Yang Biao: "This is not an ordinary thing. Once you take the first step, there is no turning back. From now on, our Yang family and Huangfu family are the same. How will other people in the school view Yang family?" Woolen cloth?"
"They don't dare to lose the Yang family. Although they are just a group of insects, they are more worried about gains and losses than us. They know very well that once they lose the Yang family, they will be like a piece of sand and will be defeated by the ancient literature school one by one!"
Yang Biao said angrily: "If you don't want to, then let's get rid of them and go directly to do what we want to do. If we get rewards in the future, the Yang family will definitely be more brilliant. Are we afraid that they won't regret it?"
When Yang Ci heard this, he was silent for a moment.
After a while, he sighed deeply and nodded.
"The Art of War says, risk your life and survive. You are worthy of being my son. Just do it. No matter what happens, your father will support you as always. Don't worry about what those insects will say. You are right, they dare not Losing the Yang family.”
"I will obey my father's orders!"
Yang Biao immediately decided to take action.
Yang Biao first went to visit Huangfu Li, Huangfu Song's nephew, and tried to contact Huangfu Song through Huangfu Li as an intermediary.
At the same time, although it was not confirmed that he could reach a cooperation with Huangfu Song, the five consecutive lightning whips could not be stopped. Stopping would be equivalent to admitting defeat, so Yang Biao prepared to launch the third whip while the second whip was in progress.
The second whip was to join forces vertically and horizontally to attract external forces to help, while the third whip was directed at Lu Zhi. The focus was to sow discord between the eunuchs and the ancient literature school. Using the power of the eunuchs to attack the ancient literature school was a form of killing with a borrowed knife.
Yang Biao was fully confident of his action.
He believed that the upright Lu Zhi would not be able to tolerate the current situation in Jizhou and would definitely impeach the eunuchs and break with them, which would then trigger the eunuchs to retaliate against the Ancient Literature School.
That scene must be beautiful!
Huangfu Li was very surprised by Yang Biao's visit. He felt that these high-ranking nobles and Liangzhou warriors were completely different from each other.
But now, Yang Biao really appeared in front of Huangfu Li.
Huangfu Li went out to greet Yang Biao in surprise, then invited Yang Biao into the main hall, invited him to take a seat, and served him wine and fruits.
"It's a blessing that Mr. Yang has come to protect the house, but I don't know why Mr. Yang has come."
Yang Biao smiled and spoke softly.
"Mr. Huangfu must have heard about what happened in the capital recently, right?"
Huangfu Li knew that what Yang Biao was talking about was the folk song of Luoyang.
When this ballad first spread, Huangfu Li, who was the servant of the visitor, knew about it and was ordered by the emperor to convey the order to investigate the matter. The emperor seemed to be quite concerned about this matter.
As we all know, ballads are never songs sung by folk when they are bored, but rather a prelude to political action. Huangfu Li knew that once this ballad was sung, someone must want to do something to Lu Zhi, the protagonist of the ballad. .
At that time, people around him were saying that this must be because the Modern Literature Party was unwilling to accept the previous failure, so they wanted to counterattack the Ancient Literature School, so they sang a ballad to set off a wave of counterattack. However, so far, it was only the first step, and the second step was delayed. See you soon.
It’s been almost a month, and this prelude is obviously a bit long.
As for why this second step was not started, Huangfu Li didn't know.
Despite this, Huangfu Li was still a little frightened.
Unlike those Liangzhou people who were completely disappointed with the Central Government of the Eastern Han Dynasty after being dealt a blow, the Huangfu family and a group of people united around the Huangfu family had been fighting for the Eastern Han Dynasty for several generations. They were psychologically different from those further west who were fighting against The Qiang people are different from the Han people who live together.
They thought that they were not some nasty Liangzhou people. After so many years of service, they felt that they could be regarded as honorary Guandong people no matter what. They should draw a clear line between those nasty Liangzhou people and have nothing to do with them.
All along, the Huangfu family has been working hard to fight and serve the imperial court, trying to be very loyal in order to be recognized by the imperial court, although in fact the imperial court did treat Huangfu family favorably because of Huangfu's loyalty.
However, in society, the Huangfu family still does not get the respect they desire because of their origins in Liangzhou.
Nowadays, the right to speak in public opinion is controlled by the gentry. The so-called respect, of course, refers to the respect of the gentry. But what should we do if we want to get the respect of the gentry?
At that time, everyone in Liangzhou Sanming worked hard and tried to gain the respect of the scholars.
Zhang Huan was on bad luck. He was about to show off his talents in the capital, but he was deceived by the eunuchs, which led to the death of the famous party member Chen Fan. Although he made amends later, he could not improve his situation. He was depressed in the officialdom and had no choice but to return. The countryside will last forever.
His ancestors, Huangfu Gui, were talented in literature, familiar with classics, and even opened a school to teach apprentices. They tried hard to appear elegant and courteous, and tried to get closer to the Kanto nobles. When the first disaster of party imprisonment was launched, they even claimed that they had not been It felt humiliating to be included in the party members, but he actually asked the emperor to take the initiative to become a party member!
However, in the eyes of the Kanto scholars, this behavior was very ridiculous.
The bottom line is: Do you deserve the surname Zhao?
Even if you die, you won’t be counted.
The two were depressed and frustrated.
Duan Xi had seen through everything and knew that the Liangzhou people would not be accepted by the Guandong scholars after all, so he just made a show of it and simply surrendered to the eunuchs and served as Taiwei, with all his power for a while.
This act seemed to be very successful, but as a result, he was implicated in the political action of Yang Qiu, the then Sili Colonel, to eliminate the eunuch Wang Fu. He was completely overthrown and committed suicide in prison, ending in a miserable state.
