Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 973
Now that Fang Jun is about to become Jing Zhaoyin, most of the properties of the Guanlong family are located around Chang'an, and they are all under Fang Jun's power. I can't imagine what kind of retaliation they will receive in the future... …

That's why everyone gathers here to discuss countermeasures.

Changsun Wuji gave a wry smile, moved his fat body, and sighed, "What rules can someone have? We must first secure the inside if we fight against the outside world. If we can't sit together internally, how can we fight against Fang Jun? You know, Fang Jun Standing behind Jun is His Majesty!"

No wonder he said such words.

The foundation of the Guanlong family is an interest group based on the twelve generals of the Eight Pillars Kingdom of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Although there have been occasional disputes within the group due to conflicts of self-interest and political demands during the past century, in the Sui Dynasty In the later period, because the prince Yang Yong they supported was defeated and died in the fight for the throne, the cruel political environment forced everyone to put aside their prejudices and advance and retreat together with a united front.

Then, in the process of supporting the Li family in Longxi, he enjoyed a huge bonus...

With the support of the Guanlong Group, the Longxi Li family aspired to the top of the world, and the Guanlong Group also became the largest political force in the world, firmly suppressing the Jiangnan nobles and Shandong aristocratic families.

But now, the signs of split appear again.

The Dou family was scared to death by the emperor's suppression, Hou Mo's and Chen's family's weakening had nothing to do with the overall situation, Yuwen's family had completely become the emperor's lackeys, and the Dugu family had always been in a detached position, so naturally they refused to stir up this muddy water...

I think the Guanlong Group, which was so powerful at the beginning, feels like it is falling apart now.

Of course, an important reason for the current situation of advancing and retreating is that Fang Jun is too difficult.To lure him with profit, he is known as the "God of Wealth", and his family's copper coins are likely to be loaded with carloads; to suppress him with power, he has the support of His Majesty behind him. He is about to take up the post of Jing Zhaoyin. This is a dignified high-ranking official of the second rank, who has almost reached the peak of an official...

What's wrong with such a soft and hard stick?
Linghu Defen was having a headache, and he looked at Yu Zhining who had been silent all this time: "Brother Zhongmi is the prince Zuo Shuzi and the prince Zhan Shi. He is not only the prince's teacher but also a close minister of the East Palace. I donated all the wealth and goods to His Majesty without knowing it beforehand, which caused our families to fall into a passive position, not to mention giving up the money and not getting His Majesty's joy, and even causing ridicule among the market?"

This is a bit rude, but it is indeed Yu Zhining's reason.

You don't even know about this big thing in advance, what are you doing by the prince's side?

Yu Zhining's old face sank slightly, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Linghu Defen, and said lightly: "This matter was too sudden, not only did someone not know it beforehand, but also the other officials of the East Palace were completely ignorant of it. It was someone's negligence."

How could anyone know?
The truth is that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself didn't know about it, and was completely coerced by Fang Jun...

Linghu Defen thought that his status was much higher than that of Yu Zhining, so he immediately said in displeasure: "We, the Guanlong Group, are in the same spirit, and we should take care of each other. Why is Brother Zhong Mi so prevaricating? That's it, it's very important." It's the way of cooperation."

Yu Zhining felt tired.

He has never had a good impression of Linghu Defen, this person definitely has talent, but he is sensitive to talk and clumsy in practice.

Once, Emperor Gaozu called a group of ministers to discuss state affairs and asked: "What can be called king? What if you want to be hegemony? Which one should be put first?"

Linghu Defen replied: "Keeping a king attaches great importance to morality and hegemony. Xia, Yin, and Zhou Quan used benevolence and virtue to rule the king, and the Qin Dynasty ruled the king with full-time criminal names. In the Han Dynasty, they used the way of kings and hegemony. Wei, Jin Since then, the way of king and hegemony has been lost. If you use the way of king and hegemony, the way of king and hegemony comes first, and there is nothing more difficult than this."

Emperor Gaozu was very happy after hearing this...

In fact, in Yu Zhining's opinion, Linghu Defen is just talking nonsense.

What is kingly way?What is domineering?
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, all dynasties have been dominated by kings and hegemons. If one is only lenient on benevolence and virtue but not punished, the world will be full of robbers and bandits, and the society will be in turmoil; otherwise, people will complain and fight everywhere.In the time of Yao and Shun, they were ruled by arches, and they still changed dynasties; in the pre-Qin period, they were punished severely, and died in the second generation.Han, Jin and Sui learned lessons, which dynasty did not have both kings and hegemons?But the subjugation of the country is still the subjugation of the country!

Yu Zhining even dared to say that if Linghu Defen was allowed to shed the cloak of literary fame and appoint him a county magistrate, he might not do a good job.

This is a pedantic, self-righteous nerd!
After hearing Linghu Defen's words, Yu Zhining looked at the people around him, and seeing that no one spoke up for him, he was completely disheartened.

Then he stood up straight away, and said calmly: "The old man is old, and he plans to retire recently to take care of his old age. I really don't have the energy to deal with your major issues. You can decide on your own and don't have to worry about your family. The old man said goodbye."

After saying that, he flung his sleeves and left.

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.

Everyone was dissatisfied with Zhi Ning's performance in this matter, so when Linghu Defen beat him up, everyone didn't support him, but who would have thought that this old guy would be so hot-tempered that he just kicked the table and stopped playing?
The most embarrassing one was naturally Linghu Defen, whose face was slapped by Yu Zhining!
Linghu Defen was furious, slapped the case in front of him, and said angrily: "It's unreasonable, who is this embarrassing? Can't he even say a word? This person is really hateful, selfish to the extreme, he is in the family All of his properties are in Luoyang, and Fang Jun, Jing Zhaoyin, can't control him anyway, so can he just hang on to it as nothing to do with himself?"

It's a pity that Yu Zhining has gone far away, where can I hear his words?
The few people present all despise it, why don't you yell like this in front of Yu Zhining, you have to wait for him to go away before you get angry?But contempt is contempt, what Linghu Defen said in the last sentence is reasonable, the Yu family's foundation is in Luoyang, and it is also an important place for this reform of the state to set up a government, Fang Jun, Jing Zhaoyin, is completely out of control.

Why follow the muddy water?
He Lanshuo let out a long sigh, and said with a wry smile: "People's short-sightedness is so far, what should I do?"

Selfish and selfish, each with their own scheming plans, the Guanlong Group, which created the four dynasties of Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Great Sui, and Great Tang, has gradually turned from prosperity to decline, and its disintegration is not far away...

*****
As soon as the news came out that the imperial court had added the Jingzhao Mansion to manage Gyeonggi and changed the five mansions to be under the direct control of the central government, it immediately set off an unprecedented turmoil in Chang'an official circles!
One radish and one hole, there are countless radishes. In the past, fighting for the hole was often bloody.Now suddenly there are countless pits, and the radishes will naturally try their best to drill their heads into the pits...

Before the early Tang Dynasty, what people called "Shandong" did not refer to Qilu alone, but to the vast area to the east of Mount Xiao or Huashan. Therefore, "Shandong Heroes" did not refer to Shandong Dahan...

In fact, during this period, the so-called "Shandong gentry" did not only refer to the aristocratic families still located in this area.At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the upper class of the ruling class fell into chaos for the throne. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang and other ethnic minorities took the opportunity to enter the Central Plains. Chang'an and Luoyang were dilapidated and deserted. .In this historical background, Sima Rui established the country in Jiangdong, and the Qilu family headed by Langya Wang followed Nandu and became the political pillar of the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This is "Clothing Nandu".

And the Shandong gentry after crossing the river are called "overseas Chinese surnames"...

Therefore, the relationship between the Shandong gentry and the Jiangnan gentry is inextricably linked.

In the early Tang Dynasty, due to the consequences of the struggle for hegemony at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Shandong gentry was relentlessly suppressed by the imperial court. There were very few officials from the Shandong gentry in the court, and their political power fell to the lowest point in history.

In Shen Guogong Gao Shilian's mansion, Zhang Xingcheng, the banner figure of the Shandong gentry in the court, came to pay a visit.

Zhang Xingcheng has just passed 50 years old this year, and he is in the process of being an official.

He was born in the Zhang family in Zhongshan, and his family background is not prominent compared with the Cui, Lu, Zheng and other surnames, but it is precisely because of this that he can be favored by His Majesty Li Er to take up this position, otherwise he would have been suppressed long ago. The family has farmed.

The Shandong gentry put great pressure on the Li Tang royal family in the process of fighting for world hegemony, and even almost supported Dou Jiande, Liu Heita and others to kill the Li Tang royal family. Facing such an enemy, how could the Li Tang royal family show mercy?
