Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1042: The aristocratic and poor families in Youzhou
In the north alley of Jixian County, among the official residences, a man was walking quickly.

The man soon came to a door and announced his intention.

Above the red lacquered gate hangs a door plaque with the word "Sun's Mansion" written on it.

The servant in the mansion got the news and hurried into the mansion to report the news to his master.

The owner of this house is none other than Sun Xiu.

Sun Xiu was originally an aide in Prince Zhao's Mansion, protecting Prince Zhao's grandson when he went north. But now, even Prince Zhao's Mansion has been taken over by Shi Lelian. He, as an aide, has long since found another job and has become Chen Zhi's subordinate. His position is The governor of Youzhou ruled the country.

The post of governing Zhongzhong was not subordinate to General Zhengbei's Mansion, but subordinate to the Governor of Youzhou.

This is also an interesting phenomenon under Chen Zhizhi's current situation.

Although Chen Zhi handled official business in the General's Mansion, he actually had a dual identity. In addition to being a general who had the power to build a government and command the army, he was also the governor of Youzhou.

These two positions have two different leadership groups. Most of Chen Zhi's original cronies, those who followed him from Daijun to start his career, mostly served in the General's Mansion, while most of the people recruited after defeating Wang Jun were Served in the governor's office.

There is a faint tendency of competition, competition, and even hostility between these two systems.

As the governor of Zhizhong, Sun Xiu's full name is Zhizhong Engaged in History. He is in charge of all Cao Cao's documents. Almost all documents from up and down Youzhou pass through his hands. He is also in charge of many documents and files, and can also consult the Cao Cao's affairs. , it can be said that it is a very powerful, very critical, and very sensitive position.

When Chen Zhizheng appointed this person, many old people tried to dissuade him, not wanting this humble man to sit in such an important position.

Moreover, such great power should be controlled by people from aristocratic families. Sun Xiu's background was not considered very good. In the eyes of many scholars, this person did not have enough background. He was born as a minor official and was only a staff member of the palace. He had nothing to offer. Political achievements cannot support such a character at all.

However, Chen Zhi still decided against all opinions and decided on the matter.

On the one hand, it demonstrates his authority as a general and governor; on the other hand, there is a compromise, so it is only a position in the governor's office.

The position of governor of this state is actually under the general's mansion. Although the jurisdiction of Zhengbei general's mansion currently only has one Youzhou, its personality is higher than that of the governor's mansion, which is enough to manage the affairs of more than one state. In normal governance, the government affairs of Youzhou Mansion are guided by the General Mansion.

Sun Xiu also showed his ability. After all, in the original history, this was also a very capable master. His descendants also produced Sun En, a figure who was both a Taoist leader and a pirate king. This ability is indeed not small. .

Now, the people in the governor's office are vaguely headed by Sun Xiu.

When the servant in the mansion found Sun Xiu, Zhizhong, who had just returned from working in the general's mansion, was talking to a close confidant. He wanted this confidant to send a message to several colleagues in private, saying that he intended to dominate the east of Youzhou. During a construction job, the order came before I could even finish saying this.

"My Lord, a message has been sent from the General's Mansion, asking you to go over and meet the General now."

When he heard that Chen Zhi had summoned him, Sun Xiu immediately stopped all his affairs and called someone to ask: "There must be a reason why the governor summoned me. Is there anyone in the general's mansion?"

The young man said that Cao Lu Zhi, a meritorious man, was meeting General Zhengbei. "Lu Zhi, we are an old rival. He is going over this time to suppress Hanmen Rising again. The general asked me to go over to repel him," Sun Xiu said, asking his confidants to retreat first, and then walked out. "Forget it, it's just a good time for us two ministers to fight again. This man is the leader of the Youzhou family, and he doesn't like to see the descendants of a poor family rise to the top. But I am the head of a poor family, so I can't retreat."

Sun Xiu was from Prince Zhao's mansion, and Lu Zhi represented Jiangdu Wang to negotiate with Chen Zhi a few years ago, and now both of them have joined General Zhengbei's family. There is also a story in it, which is not shown here.

Interestingly, Sun Xiu had contact with Chen Zhidai when the county was developing, but after he defected, he was assigned to the governor's office.

Correspondingly, Lu Zhi, who only came to see Chen Zhi after he occupied Youzhou, was assigned to the General's Mansion, succeeded Zhang Kang, and became the new meritorious officer of the Zhengbei General's Mansion.

After Lu Zhi became a meritorious official in the General Mansion, he quickly established a firm foothold relying on the power of the Fan Yang Lu family.

Thinking about the situation of Lu Zhi and the Lu family, Sun Xiu, accompanied by his personal entourage and nephew, took an ox cart and quickly headed to the general's mansion.

"Hurry up, otherwise, when we get to the place, Lu Zhi will finish his speech and leave, then I will be dereliction of duty, and I will disappoint the general."

In the car, Sun Xiu kept urging her, but her nephew Sun Ji looked sad.

Sun Xiu saw his nephew's expression, and he asked with a smile: "But you are worried that if I fight against that Lu Zhi, the family will hold grudges, and something bad will happen in the end?"

Sun Ji nodded and said: "In recent years, the Lu family has developed well. Even though the lord has announced a series of measures to limit the number of tenants of aristocratic families and forced away several small and large families, the Lu family, as the largest aristocratic family in Youzhou, One of them is still following the general, and his power is getting stronger day by day. Now in Youzhou, the ancestral family is scattered, the Wang family is in decline, and the Chen family has not yet risen. The Lu family has the appearance of being the largest family. If they are against Lu Zhi, there may be future troubles! "

Sun Xiu laughed: "It doesn't matter, there's no need to worry. I'm just playing the role required by the general. What's there to worry about? If I really worry, I'll put it aside for later."

"In the future?" Sun was puzzled.

Sun Xiu then said: "Your uncle, I was born as a lowly official, and I am of humble status. Why can I govern a state at such a young age? It's not that the general wants to promote a poor family and check and balance the aristocratic family! So I will use the humble family as a check." Even if our Sun family has risen and has Zhuangzi and its foundation, in front of the general, we still have to be a scholar from a poor family, unite the children from a poor family, and compete with Lu Zhi, the leader of the family. As long as we grasp this position, we will definitely not Something’s wrong!”

"What if the government of Youzhou changes in the future..." At this point, Sun Ji stopped talking, because there would be some taboos later.

Sun Xiu already understood that he did not want to compete. He shook his head and said: "The world is in chaos and the Central Plains is scattered. The situation is different from the past. Do you think the general can leave and retreat at any time? How many places are there in the upper and lower parts of Youzhou and beyond the grassland? How can it be so easy to change when people follow you? From now on, you don’t have to think too much about these things, just do things with your heart! As long as your uncle and I are here, I can protect your future, and you don’t have to think too much about anything else."

"Yes, uncle!" Sun Ji nodded in agreement, slightly relieved.

At this time, the ox cart had also arrived at the General's Mansion, and Sun Xiu took his nephew out of the car and drove quickly. After entering the General's Mansion, he asked Sun Ji to rest in the mansion, and he went straight to the main hall, where he happened to hear what Lu Zhi said The words come——

"Nowadays, the disciples are scattered, and the people are aware of the rumors and teachings. This may not be a good thing. Moreover, people from poor families are studying but not virtuous, and they are so rude. This may not be a good thing for Youzhou. I hope the general will think twice!"
