"When I was a county magistrate in Chuzhou in my early years, I had some friendship with Kou Xiong, so I knew him a little. Kou Xiong is a straightforward person, bold and reckless person, if you treat him well, he can cut off his head and give it to you. If you treat him badly, no matter who you are or what your identity is, he will dare to draw his sword to face him and take your life."

Pei Shichang and Kou Xiong are considered friends, but their relationship is just average, but they still have some understanding of him. Since talking about Kou Xiong, Pei Shichang also talks about his situation.

You Yuanfeng looked at Liu Jie: "How much do you know about the Kou family?"

Liu Jie shook his head: "The Kou family is in Jiannan, and has little political ambition. He has always been very low-key in dealing with people over the years. Most of the family members are in the army, few civil officials, and none of them are officials in Fengjing. Kou Chi and my father had some personal grudges back then, so our Liu family and Kou family have never violated the rivers for so many years. Both sides are respectful and far away from each other, so I don't know much about the Kou family."

Kou Chi is Kou Xiong's grandfather. He once controlled most of Jiannan's heroes. He died in the later years of Pingzong, two years before the Battle of Hebei, he was also the last famous general of Pingzong's dynasty. If Kou Chi had not died yet, if he led the army to fight, the result of the Battle of Hebei might be another ending, and it would not be that Pingzong had no generals available. He was not at ease with anyone. In the end, he could only lead the army to defeat the entire army, and ended up being destroyed. The emperor was wiped out. This was also the turning point for the complete decline of the Jin Dynasty.

Liu Guanghui said at this time: "Even if the emperor receives the support of the Kou family, it is no big deal. The Kou family has been somewhat defeated over the years. Since Kou Chi's death, he has never produced any decent talents in the past few decades. Although the family is very famous, it is only in Jiannan. Who can it affect when Jiannan comes out?"

Luo Yuanjie smiled and said, "What Liu Xiangguo said is very true. Now the emperor is promoting his confidants as much as possible and selecting talented people from poor families, while winning over all families. However, the reactions of all families are dull. The Kou family may think this is an opportunity, so they have the idea of ​​relying on the emperor."

You Yuanfeng looked at everyone: "Since everyone is sitting here, they are your own people. Don't hide it. If you have any news, tell me."

Xu Ruotang, who had never spoken, spoke at this time: "Old man, many families have sent people to the capital to come to the event, among which Yu Jin, Zhao Tiancheng, Helian Chu and others will come in person."

The people Xu Ruotang mentioned are all the heads of family families. Among them, Yu Jin and Zhao Tiancheng are both big families in Huaibei area, and the family where Helian Chu is located is in Hebei. These families have close relationships with the powerful local vassal states.

Then, everyone said something and said different news from different channels.

This is not surprising. These family families that have been passed down for many years have had complex relationships before. Some families deepened the relationship between the two parties through interests, some were in marriage, and some were originally an ancestor with the same bloodline, but eventually they separated and gradually grew stronger, forming a new family force that was not weaker than the original family.

For example, the ancestors of the Wang family in Huainan and the family where Wang Renzi were located were family three hundred years ago, but later they gradually grew and formed a new local family.

Many large families have more or less branches, such as the You family where Li Xun’s father-in-law You Mingyuan is located. The sect leader’s family is in Fengjing, but there are also some branches in the local area, and some have developed to this day and are already quite famous and powerful.

Below was talking quietly. You Mingyuan pulled Li Xun and asked about his recent work situation. He also told him to establish a good relationship with everyone. You are now the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall. Although you are a high-ranking and powerful, you should not be too arrogant. You should pay attention to friendly colleagues, interact with useful people, unite and benefit people for your own use, and build your own small team as soon as possible. After all, you are your son-in-law. You Mingyuan is still very concerned about Li Xun and found this opportunity to teach Li Xun how to be an official.

Li Xun glanced above, You Yuanfeng and Liu Jie were talking quietly there, not knowing what they were talking about

"Father-in-law, what exactly is it for us to gather here today?"

Li Xun asked in a low voice.

You Mingyuan pointed to You Yuanfeng and said softly: "It's mainly for the old man. We are just accompanying guests. Will we discuss the decision-making matters specifically at this rally? We just let everyone sit together, meet each other and get familiar with each other. The real contest is at the back."

Li Xun frowned slightly and wanted to ask again. You Mingyuan waved his hand: "There are so many people and eyes, and if you have any doubts, Xunkong comes to me in private, and I will explain it to you clearly."

Li Xun nodded and stopped talking.

"Liu Jie, it seems that many people can no longer bear the loneliness and are thinking about rushing to the capital."

"The place is so big that there are too many people who can't live in, and they are crowded in. Someone will definitely be forced out. We must make plans early."

You Yuanfeng sneered: "This is our home court. Those people have been kicked out for so many years. Even if they come back, they won't be able to do whatever they want."

Liu Jie shook his head and said, "Everyone's family has been ongoing for many years, and the foundation is not bad. The decades of blank space will not cause too much loss or impact. Many once famous figures are still alive. It is difficult for these people to be defeated, but if you have the opportunity, it is not difficult to get back to power."

You Yuanfeng frowned and said, "You tried every means to bring me in and the You family. Now this is the attitude? If this is true, everyone should do whatever they should do, so as not to worry about that leisure."

"The situation is unclear now. If you take the wrong path, it will be difficult to come back, so we must not be anxious. If something happens, something will happen."

Liu Jie said: "And, so many forces and families rushed in at once. Just relying on us, we have the ability to stop it?"

You Yuanfeng glanced at Li Xun below and said indifferently: "I understand what you mean. Let Li Xun find an opportunity to talk about the emperor's tone and attitude. Many things still depend on the emperor's attitude. If we cannot unite, once this trend starts to move, just a few of us will be able to flood us all at once."

Liu Jie chuckled and said, "You You family needs someone to stand at the front desk. Are you going to push Li Xun or find someone from your own family?"

You Yuanfeng was silent for a moment, and finally said indifferently: "You came suddenly, and I was not prepared for many things. The specific arrangements I said alone would not count. Let's take a look first."
