Chapter Three Hundred and Eighteen: Harmony Is Strong, Discord Is Dead
Yang Jiong seemed very cautious.↖,
On the one hand, he was afraid of being cheated by Qin Shaoyou and Wang Ju. After all, he had a bad impression of these two people.
Moreover, this time, it is obvious that the Yang family has benefited the most. Not only did it solve the urgent problem, but it may also become the second-ranked figure in the prospects of Qin Shaoyou. If you do not ask the opinions of other families, it is inevitable that everyone will think that Yang Jiong is forgetting his righteousness when he sees profit.
But his tone has relaxed.
Qin Shaoyou didn't want to stay in Yang's mansion, but said with a smile: "I will wait for a few days, but living here is inconvenient, I'm afraid I'll disturb Mr. Yang. Isn't there a different courtyard in the Wang family here?" He looked at Wang Chen, the father of Wang Ju, and said: "Mr. Wang, don't you know if you want to take it in?"
Seeing that the situation had eased, Wang Chen was surprised. Qin Shaoyou's idea was indeed very attractive. This was obviously a reference to the allusion of the combination of Longxi warlords and Guanzhong gentry. If this matter could be successfully matched, then since then, although the Guanlong clan still has enough advantages, a new group emerged and should not be underestimated.
But his son was Qin Shaoyou's right-hand man. He actually hoped that this matter could be accomplished. Judging from his son's eyes, it was different.
A new group appeared, which was a combination of two into one, but Wang Ju was both a gentry and the most trusted person in the Shence Mansion. This unconsciously became the lubricant for the new clan. His importance can be imagined, and his future is absolutely limitless.
Wang Chen hurriedly said, "Of course, if Your Highness can come to the villa, my mansion will be full of glory."
Qin Shaoyou laughed and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go now, my husband, you will talk slowly and deeply. This is the king. In fact, he is a martial artist. Whether it is successful or not, faith is still the most important thing. If it can be achieved, from now on, everyone will be their own people, and they will naturally be in the same spirit. Even if they think it is inappropriate, Qin will never force each other. The troubles you are in now. I am willing to give some help. Some of the previous decrees have indeed caused great harm to you. Just think that this is Qin's apologies."
This sentence is really beautiful.
The previous tense situation was completely eliminated.
Even if the transaction fails, benevolence and righteousness are there. You are afraid of tragic decline of your family. Even if you refuse to join forces, Qin Shaoyou will relieve you. This kind of generosity is quite like a warm voice, although it is useless. Because everyone understands that even if Qin Shaoyou provides some help today so that everyone will not be sad, the initiative is in Qin Shaoyou's hands. The sword is also placed on everyone's neck, and others can take your life at any time. But... Although it is useless, it makes people feel comfortable. Everyone's favor for Qin Shaoyou has increased a little.
Put yourself in your shoes. If you were Qin Shaoyou, you would probably be more ruthless than Qin Shaoyou.
This made some people who were originally a little dissatisfied and finally felt a little more comfortable.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Qin Shaoyou is gone.
But the people who stayed behind fell into silence.
Yang Jiong was not easy to talk to because he spoke. He seemed to have become a lobbyist for Qin Shaoyou, so he hoped that others would talk first.
After pondering for a long time, someone laughed and said, "The Guanzhong gentry can do it, why can't we? Do you still remember Prime Minister Pei?"
Prime Minister Pei came from the Pei family in Kanto and was brutally killed because he opposed Wu Zetian as the emperor.
Like the Yang family, the Pei family is the leader of the Kanto gentry, so the murder of Prime Minister Pei has always been a pity for the Kanto gentry.
But when everyone thinks of this, many people feel even heavier.
Those who opposed Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne back then were not just one family. Whether it was the Guanlong family, the Guandong gentry, or the Jiangnan gentry, they all flocked to oppose it.
But what's the result?
The Guanlong clans were fiercely opposed, but Wu Zetian chose to stay away from them and try his best to stabilize their dissatisfaction, so he married the wealthy families in Wannian County.
The Jiangnan gentry opposed the most fiercely and directly supported Li Jingye to fight for martial arts. In the end, Wu Zetian used iron fist to kill them without leaving any armor. The people have not recovered yet, and the forces in the court have been cleaned up.
The Kanto clans also opposed it, so Prime Minister Pei was killed, Yang Jiong dismissed from office, and was severely suppressed.
Different strengths do the same thing, but the endings are very different.
This fact is still fresh in memory. After all, it is nothing more than strength.
Looking back at that time, although the five surnames and seven families had great families, the Yang family and the Pei family were not inferior to them. What was the result? Now the limelight is being heavily blocked. The reason is that the five surnames and seven families received the support of Longxi warlords, while the Guandong gentry relied on poetry and books to pass on their families.
Now the Shence Mansion is growing prosperous. Although the Shence Army is only 5,000, it is the best in the world. And it can still expand in time. This is a force that cannot be underestimated. If the Kanto gentry can combine with it, then each family can really exclaim.
Besides, the conditions proposed by Qin Shaoyou are also good. Although Qin Shaoyou is the main one, don’t forget that the Kanto gentry is full of talents. As long as they are combined, they will definitely control all aspects. Although Qin Shaoyou is the leader, they will never lose their benefits.
Someone was moved and couldn't help but sneer: "Shence Mansion is the military mansion, but the family business that is related to us is the family business of a hundred generations. There is no conflict between the two sides. Instead, the people of Guanzhong exclude us everywhere. This is a big trouble. If you are now in a relationship with Qin Shaoyou and the relatives are eyeing each other, it is a dead end. It is better to seek life in death. Prince Hongnong is also a little sincere. Please ask Mr. Yang to take office as the speaker and provide some benevolent policies for the monks and lay people of Hongnong."
So many people said yes and wanted to persuade each other.
Some people who refused to agree had to be speechless because they occupied a minority.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Jiong said, "No hurry now. Prince Hongnong is still waiting for us to reply. If he returns too early, he will be despicable. If he does not hurry, he will discuss this with his family first."
This is almost equivalent to agreeing to this claim.
However, although Hongnong is the family, most of the children of the Hongnong clan are in various prefectures, Chang'an, Luoyang, Hebei, Jiangnan, Jiannan, etc., and are scattered all over the place. This is a big event, not a joke, and it is definitely necessary to reach some agreement.
After hearing this, everyone said yes.
So everyone dispersed and returned to their own residences. Then, countless letters went to various places like snowflakes.
The children of those clans, relatives and friends, and even the disciples and old officials, and some important people also received letters.
A large number of letters and frequent exchanges are all about inquiries, resolving doubts, and then temptations.
This was obviously a difficult decision. Luoyang City was already in trouble. Many of the Kanto gentry officials served as officials here, and many officials from Hongnong had begun to hold frequent gatherings, and of course these could not escape the eyes of others.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Qin Shaoyou is different from the anxious aristocratic clans. He lives in the villa of the royal palace very happily. He travels with Wang Ju every day. Occasionally, some people come to visit him, and Qin Shaoyou receives them one by one.
Wang Ju's role in it can be said to be crucial.
After all, Qin Shaoyou was born in a poor family. He was very different from the gentry in terms of living habits and connections. However, Wang Ju was well aware of many things inside and asked from time to time that many of the ways to deal with the gentry in it came from Wang Ju.
Now, this traitor from the Kanto clan does not seem to be aware that he is a traitor, but is happy and contented.
His father was in a very complicated mood. On the one hand, he felt that this rebellious son was too domineering. He relied on his little cleverness and acted a little annoying. But on the other hand, Wang Chen also visited relatives and friends everywhere and found out a lot of information.
The aristocratic people have begun to loosen.
If the previous confrontation was to suppress people with power, the gentry still had the strength, but they would never be willing to use their ancestors to gamble. It was because of the thoughts of these gentry that the Shence Mansion had the upper hand.
But now, when Qin Shaoyou met with other families, it was tempting with benefits. Qin Shaoyou's conditions were indeed very attractive. The Guandong gentry seemed to be lush and lush, but it did have its innate shortcomings. This is why, although Emperor Gaozong repeatedly promoted the Guandong gentry, the Guandong gentry was always suppressed by the Guanlong family. It can even be said that if it were not for the Taizu, Taizong, and Emperor Gaozong of the past to use the Guandong gentry to balance the needs of the Guanlong family, the Guandong gentry would have been beaten to the ground for teeth.
Now, it is obvious that for the Kanto gentry, they have encountered a huge opportunity. If they are united, they will be strong, and if they are not united, they will die.
Even some enthusiastic people have begun to move around and try their best to match the matter. These people are completely out of nature, but they all have their own ambitions and have been suppressed for a hundred years. It is time to be proud.
