I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 770 Let’s save the Yuan family together
It can be said that Yuan Chong has prospered under Liu Jian in recent years.

He partnered with Liu Jian's eldest son Liu Ji and governed in Yingchuan and Runan.

Yingchuan and Runan can be said to be a very hard bone. There are many gentry there, most of them are very famous literati families, especially Liu Jian's confidants Xun Yu and Guo Jia, whose family is also in Yingchuan.

Liu Jian's son and his adopted son not only had to implement the court's new policy in Yuzhou, but also had to consider the relationship between Liu Jian's important ministers, local families and the court. The subtleties involved were extremely important. It tested the two children's ability to govern.

Of course, this also tested the loyalty of Liu Jian's ministers like Xun Yu and Guo Jia at critical moments.

Regarding the implementation of Liu Jian's New Deal in Yuzhou, were their attitudes towards their own family or towards the court?

It can be said to be a test on both sides.

During this period of time, Yuan Chong and Liu Ji made many wrong decisions in handling Yuzhou's governance. In other words, they were more radical at the beginning, and the series of consequences also made them wake up.

It is true that such efficiency will hinder and delay the implementation of Yuzhou's new policy, and will also cause certain setbacks for the two children... But Liu Jian is not in a hurry. This is the result he wants. .

The implementation of the New Deal in Yuzhou is not a big deal for Liu Jian. Even if there are many prominent families and noble families here, it is useless.

Liu Jian has been implementing the New Deal in the north of the Han Dynasty for so many years. He has his own implementation experience. Even if he suffers a temporary setback, he can implement it thoroughly sooner or later.

Compared with the implementation of the New Deal in Yuzhou, it is more important to train the two children's ability to govern as they grow up.

There is nothing to say about the abilities of Liu Ji and Yuan Chong as well as their ideological realm. After all, these two people have been trained and trained by Liu Jian himself over the years. Liu Jian believes that he has cultivated these two children to be good enough to inherit. An elite person with his own aspirations.

But these two children have been growing up under their own powerful halo over the years, which will be a certain obstacle to them, and even make them look down on the world's heroes.

Children who grow up in an environment that is too smooth are generally unable to withstand setbacks and are proud and complacent.

Therefore, governing in Yuzhou can allow them to see the difficulties ahead, and also allow them to put away their pride and complacency.

Liu Jian wants to let the children know through practical lessons that they are not the favored ones of heaven... In this world, they must be cautious and confront each other.

In the end, Liu Jian's wish came true.

After experiencing setbacks, the two children have become more mature. They no longer look down on the world's heroes, and they have re-evaluated their own abilities.

The two children were not discouraged by this, but became more able to withstand the pressure and became wiser.

Precisely because these two children have matured, the pace of their implementation of the New Deal in Yuzhou has begun to slow down, but it is on the right track.

Liu Jian is very satisfied with the growth of his two children during this period.

Liu Jian decided to put the matter in Yuzhou aside for now.

He sent people to Yingchuan and transferred Yuan Chong, who was responsible for sorting out the situation of major families in Yingchuan, to Yizhou.

In addition to handling local government affairs in Yingchuan, Yuan Chong also had a special task compared to Liu Ji.

That is responsible for the overall placement and planning of the Yuan family in Runan.

Now Yuan Chong has become the true nominal spokesperson of the Yuan family in Runan, and is also the head of the Yuan family officially arranged by the imperial court.

After more than ten years, Yuan Ji's son finally inherited the position that should have belonged to their first family and regained control of the Yuan family in Runan.

And now, the new father-in-law of the Yuan family in Runan has come to Yizhou to recruit his uncle.

In fact, whether Yuan Yi surrenders or not will not have a big impact on Liu Jian's talent pool. He has no need for people like Yuan Yi. It can be said that even if he recruits and surrenders, he will keep them in vain.

But Liu Jian wanted to use this incident to set an example to the world.

Yuan Yi's surrender is a bellwether for the world's prominent families. The father-in-law of the Yuan family in Runan is now appointed by himself and the court, and Yuan Yi's surrender will make it easier for the court to intervene in the Yuan family in Runan. Affairs can make the Yuan family in Runan become a benchmark for the court to reorganize prominent families.

In the original Han Dynasty, prominent families jointly influenced, restructured, and restricted the court, but from now on, Liu Jian will do the opposite!
Use the power of the imperial court to transform and influence local prominent families.

The internal affairs of local prominent families are no longer their own business.

From now on, the imperial court is qualified to intervene in the affairs of the famous clan. The patriarch and father-in-law of the famous clan are no longer the affairs of the clan.

The imperial court should also have a certain say in who will be appointed as the patriarch and father-in-law of a prominent family.

This is a new beginning and a new journey.

It is also the trend of the times!
The Yuan family is the first! It's definitely not the last one either!
……

Liu Jian's army entered Chengdu, and Zhang Song and others who were responsible for opening the city gate to welcome Liu Jian into Chengdu were treated favorably by Liu Jian and rewarded heavily.

"Where is Yuan Yi now?" Liu Jian asked Zhang Song.

Zhang Song immediately reported to Liu Jian: "Yuan Zhengyi is waiting for the prime minister at the mansion."

Liu Jian nodded.

But he did not go to see Yuan Yi as Zhang Song hoped, but winked at Yuan Chong beside him. Yuan Chong immediately raised his hand to Liu Jian and said, "Father, I'll go over first."

Liu Jian rode on his big green partridge and said kindly: "My child, it's up to you."

"Father, don't worry!"

Yuan Chong immediately entered Yuan Yi's mansion under the protection of a group of white soldiers.

Yuan Yi was already in a semi-crazy state at this time. He was sitting on the main seat, writing with a pen in his hand. His hands were trembling, and the words on the paper were crooked and out of standard.

He was still mumbling randomly.

At this moment, Yuan Chong suddenly walked into Yuan Yi's room. He looked around and then said respectfully: "Uncle!"

When Yuan Yi heard the word "uncle", he suddenly showed a surprised expression.

He raised his head and looked at Yuan Chong carefully, but for a long time he didn't remember who this person was.

But why does it look so familiar?
Seeing that Yuan Yi didn't recognize him, Yuan Chong immediately introduced his identity to him with a smile.

When he heard that Yuan Chong claimed to be Yuan Ji's son, Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the pen in his hand, and dropped the pen completely on the ground, with ink splattering everywhere.

No wonder it looks so familiar! He looks very similar to Brother Shiji!
Yuan Yi stood up tremblingly and came to Yuan Chong. He stretched out his hands as if to hug Yuan Chong's arms, but his half-stretched hands stayed in the air, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, he saw Yuan Yi put down his hands in shame, tears streaming from his eyes, and said: "Retribution, it's all retribution. The reason why someone is like this is all retribution. I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry. Your father!"

"I was selfish at the beginning and did not think of a way to save your father. Instead, I followed Benchu's advice and ignored your father's affairs in Beijing. The reason why I am in this situation today is because of our own fault... ...Oh, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Yi shed tears and cried bitterly.

Yuan Chong sighed softly. He helped Yuan Yi back to his seat and asked him to sit down.

"Uncle, I came here today for no other reason. I just want to give you a way to survive... Let the past be bygones. After all, our surname is Yuan."

Yuan Yi looked at Yuan Chong in surprise and said, "You don't hate me?"

Yuan Chong shook his head: "I don't hate it."

"why?"

"How should I put it... I feel that I am very good now. At least my horizons have broadened. I am not the same as the Yuan family. I am glad that I did not fall with the Yuan family."

Yuan Yi looked at the confident Yuan Chong as if he saw Yuan Ji back then.

They are all so confident.

"Oh, it's so similar, so similar..."

"You said you would give me a way to survive. Can I still have a way to survive?"

Yuan Chong said: "Uncle, the path that the Yuan family took was really wrong. The Yuan family was originally the world's leader, but they took a path that should not belong to our family. If the Yuan family continues to go on the wrong path, I'm afraid. The end result is the destruction of the entire group.”

"I was raised by the Prime Minister since I was a child, and I know the Prime Minister's heart. Although he is an enemy of the Yuan family, he always cares about the friendship with my father."

"The Prime Minister knew that the Yuan family was wrong, and he also knew that the Yuan family was guilty, but he never wanted to let the Yuan family be destroyed."

"The Prime Minister often told me that he wanted the Yuan family to follow the right path. He didn't want to destroy the Yuan family. If he destroyed the Yuan family, he would be embarrassed to face my deceased father the next day."

"I came here today just to give my uncle a chance."

"Uncle, come with me to rectify the Yuan family. Let's go back to Runan together."

"Don't have any sweet dreams of kingship and hegemony. The Yuan family is still the Yuan family, and the Han Dynasty is still the Han Dynasty."

"Let's let the Yuan family do what they need to do."

"Uncle, are you willing to help me?"

Yuan Yi looked at Yuan Chong in front of him as if he were looking at Yuan Ji back then.

This demeanor, appearance, and attitude when speaking are so similar, really so similar, they are exactly the same.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yi shed tears again.

"Son, if you are willing to give uncle a chance, uncle thanks you... I listen to you, and uncle is willing to work with you... Whatever you say, I will do..."

"Okay, uncle, let's go see the Prime Minister first!"
