The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 137 The Famous Famous Family in Decline——The Yu Clan

Old man Cui has gone.

A few days later, Qian Laodao came back.

On both sides of the tomb, Jinniu Mountain, Immortal Terrace, and Qianlao Dao planted two pine trees, and poured a glass of old wine into the soil to commemorate this old friend who has forgotten his age.

"Heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper!"

This is Qian Laodao's evaluation of Cui old man.

A gust of wind blew up out of thin air, rolled up a few pieces of paper money, and flew towards Fengqi Lake at the foot of the mountain. The old Taoist stroked his beard and said: "Everything in the world has its own definite number. If you do something, you will not do it. If you interfere with the destiny, it is against the number of days. Even if you wear Confucian clothes and hold a vertical and horizontal hand, you will be backlashed, and your ten years of life will be cut off to repay the fate of heaven."

The breeze lingered on Fengqi Lake for a long time, but was still unwilling to leave, and finally caused the lake to surge, hit the embankment, and flood the farmland. Xiao was panicked, and the people on the embankment were in a hurry. Where is the gust of wind coming from?
The old man kicked the tombstone angrily, couldn't bear to flood the embankment, and sighed: "You all have such a bad temper, alas. The old man knows that you are unwilling, so I will take a look for you. If you can fulfill your wish in the future, the Han family will be unified, and an altar will be opened in Hualin Garden in Luoyang to worship the Yin Division."

After the words fell, the breeze returned, the lake calmed down, and everything returned to calm, except for the tombstone, which was stubbornly facing north.

"There are no more strategists in the world!" Qian Laodao said in a daze, looking up at the blue sky.

Jiangzuo Jinling County Wujin, Lanling Xiao's, the second year of Shengping, the momentum of development is sudden and rapid, it is a rising star among the northern overseas Chinese gentry, Xijin Ferry, is becoming more and more prosperous, and travels between Jiankang, Sanwu, and Jingkou There is an endless stream of big ships.

The "Tea Merchant Alliance" proposed by Zhao Yunlong reached an agreement with the Yan family after the fat old man contacted his cousin in private. The Yang family had no say, so the Diao family agreed. established.

Due to geographical reasons, Wujin went north along the Dantu Waterway to Jingkou, and went west to Jurong—Qinhuai to Jiankang, and went south to Sanwu. It became the headquarters of the "Tea Merchants Alliance", and the finished tea from the five companies continued to flow. Shipped to Wujin, and then distributed to various places.

In Xicheng, Wujin County, Sanshu specially set up a tea market area for businessmen and traders. By May, the tea market had begun to take shape, and the supply of green tea was in short supply. Often the new tea was just released, and the Sanwu merchants, Jiankang merchants bought out.

The momentum of green tea is very rapid, which makes the five families very happy. They vigorously attract Jingkou refugees to settle in Jinling, and fully promote the cultivation of regional tea plants. The output will increase every year.

Regarding the gold-absorbing beast of Qingcha, the five families have their own concerns. The patriarch Xiao Qing has taken up a job in a county government, but he is in charge of Qingcha in Jinling County, as if he wants to include "qingcha" in the small pockets of the five families.

In mid-May, Yan Kuan was promoted to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Dai Yuan was appointed as Minister of the Huangmen. .

Xie Yi died of illness at the end of April. Xie Wanshi, the former governor of Wuxing, served as the governor of Yuzhou. Gu Yue, the superior of Wuxi's Gu family, was appointed governor of Wuxing. The order of Jiangzhou Xunyang, Xiao Qin's uncle received an edict from the Ministry of Officials, and became the governor of Wuxing County. number two.

This is a tacit battle between Jinling and the Wu people.

At the end of May, the lotus is shining brightly, the fragrant phoenix lives beside the lake, the vast fertile field, a piece of rice flowers, the fragrance of lotus and rice, washing like willows in spring, bright like bamboo in the wind, following the old man Cui's order, Xu Miao and Xu Miao, who studied hard in March, and Xiao Qinzhi, who stayed behind closed doors, set off for Jinling to participate in the prefectural review.

In the second year of Shengping, Yangzhou Dazhongzheng——Yu Xi.

The Yu family, a famous family in decline.

After the Jin family moved south to Jiankang, the rights changed several times. The Langya Wang clan was the first to appear on the stage, and the representatives were Wang Dao and Wang Dun. , and the hometown of Wang Yan and Wang Dao, Langya Kingdom.

This geographical combination made Sima Yue, the most distant lineage of the Sima family, the biggest beneficiary. After gaining a foothold in Jiangzuo, with the assistance of Director Wang, he was pushed to the throne by a group of people.

During this period, the power of the Langya Wang family reached its peak, "the king and the horse share the world", but Sima Rui was still unwilling to hand over all the power to the Wang family, and reused Liu Wei, Diao Xie, Dai Yuan and others to suppress The Langya Wang family, so Wang Dun led troops into Jiankang and killed Diao Xie (Diao Yi's father) as a warning.

Soon after the Wangdun Rebellion, Sima Rui died in grief and indignation. It was his son Sima Shao, Emperor Ming of Jin who ascended the throne. Blade King Dun avenged his father, and the Jingkou Diao clan has since become a first-class gentry.

Sima Shao was short-lived, and Qu Qu died in three years. Among Tuogu's ministers, there was the empress dowager's older brother, Yu Liang.

After the death of Wang Dao, Yu Liang passed away. Yu Bing, the second generation of the Yu family, took over the power and suggested that Sima Yan, the emperor of Jincheng, give up the throne to Sima Yue. Controlling the center, Yu Yi is guarding several states in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Xiangyang, and he has become another Wang Dun.

Only two years later, Sima Yue passed away. The third generation of the Yu family, Yu Bing and Yu Yi brothers, repeated their tricks and suggested that Sima Yue give the throne to Sima Yu, King of Kuaiji. To the prince Sima Dan.

Because the Yu family in Yingchuan, who was in power as a foreign relative, had power in the court and the public, and did not turn to Sima Dan on the issue of establishing a crown prince, the new empress dowager Chu Suanzi began to liquidate the Yu family.

Brothers Yu Bing and Yu Yi passed away one after another, and the Yu clan instantly declined and withdrew from the stage of history. With the support of He Chong, Huan Wen took over the Yu clan's power forcefully, and the Longkang Huan clan began to rise.

In the beginning, Huan Wen received a lot of support from the two brothers Yu Bing and Yu Yi, but in the end he came to power by stepping on Yu's corpse. From this, the two families forged an eternal feud.

Although the Yu family has declined, the skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Relying on the shadow of his ancestors and his in-law relationship with various families, he is still doing well in Jiangzuo. However, compared to the glory of his ancestors, a Yangzhou Dazhong looks upright It's very shabby, but Huan Wen is powerful, and Yu Xi doesn't dare to provoke her, so she often feels depressed and not angry, drinks to relieve her sorrows, and takes drugs recklessly to comfort her soul.

Before Zhou Zhongzheng, Wuxi Fahrenheit, who hadn't seen anything for a long time, and Jinling Cheng's plotted secretly, endured dormancy, and finally waited for the opportunity to cut off Xiao Qinzhi's official career.

Xiao Yang, who was expelled from the Xiao Clan, wanted to sue Zhongzheng. He wanted to use Xiao Qin's eyes to disrespect his elders, punish evil and take revenge. He was talented but not virtuous. He bewitched Xiao Qing, the patriarch of the Xiao Clan, broke his legs, and deposed Xiao Qin. its review qualification.

It's just that Xiao Yang's every move was monitored by the third uncle, who stopped him on the way to Jinling, and thus followed the vines to touch Huashi and Chengshi.

But the matter is far from over, Xiao Qinzhi never dreamed that a bigger target was waiting for him.
