Dao Fruit

Looking at Yang Huang striding forward, Zhang Xiping sighed, knowing that after today, if he and others were to be freed, it would be difficult to directly intervene in the entire situation. ♦

"Who are you? Do you know where this place is? Breaking into the Yuan Mansion without permission is not a small crime. Go kneel down in the courtyard until noon, and then go to the Ministry of War to report another crime." At this time, Yuan Hao was He spoke calmly, with a majestic tone. Faced with the obvious attire of a court general, the words he spoke seemed to be instructing his own servants.

"Where is this place?" Yang Huang's eyes twitched. He was irritated by Yuan Hao's attitude, but he suppressed his anger. "This is the capital of Da Rui. I would like to ask you, who are you and why do you want to protect the criminals of the imperial court?" ? But also want to rebel? "

"I keep criminals from the imperial court?" Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows, "How do you say this? Are you brave enough to talk to me like this?"

Yang Huang said word by word: "Xu Yingyi and Cai Que just confessed their crimes and are now arresting the remaining party members. Xu Yingjian and Ji Lu also participated in collaborating with the enemy for the convenience of doing business and serving as officials. They just went to arrest people from their houses. The man then ran away and is now hiding in Yuan's Mansion, taking the stolen goods with him."

"Okay, okay!" After hearing this, Yuan Hao laughed angrily, "It's enough to slander the children of the family as criminals, but you actually dare to come to the Yuan Mansion to cause trouble. Today's military generals are really getting more and more unruly! Do you want to take someone away? Okay! Just take it, but don’t regret it afterwards, and leave your name. I’ll go find Wang Jing next moment to see if you can escape this disaster!”

"I'm afraid you won't have this chance!"

Yang Huang smiled coldly, showing his white teeth: "All of you here are all ministers of the country, but you are harboring important criminals. It is obvious that you have evil intentions. With your status, you are too harmful to the country, so none of you can leave. Everyone. Let’s go!”

After finishing speaking, he waved his arms!

"Get them all for me!"

"You will regret it!" Yuan Hao sneered, but still sat in his chair until two soldiers came up and pulled him down, and then he was pushed forward in embarrassment, but the cold look in his eyes More and more intense.

………………

"Master Marquis, there is a person named Feng who is outside asking for an audience. He said he has something to tell Master Marquis..."

On the other side, in the main hall of Qiu Mansion. There were also a few people sitting there. The first one was naturally Qiu Yan, the Marquis of Dingguo, who had just returned from the suburbs of the city. As for the other people, they were not strangers. Zheng Quan and Li Kuo, who were the official officials during Qiu Yan's imperial examination, were among them. , in addition to Hu Yong and Luo Zhongjie, the examiners at that time, and Liu Hai, Qi Jinchan, Chen Ju, etc. who were Qiu Yan's subordinates when he was in the Privy Council. There are also Qi Jiulian, Luo Jiayun, Zhou Guan and others.

It's just that compared to the previous few people, Luo Jiayun and Zhou Guan are both newly promoted officials, and Qi Jiulian has no official position, and his current identity is Qiu Yan's staff.

Listen to the man's report. Everyone's minds were spinning, thinking about the identity of the visitor.

The person who reported the news added: "This person said that this matter is related to whether the Marquis can truly put down the chaos in the family."

"In that case, let him come in." Qiu Yan nodded. He made up his mind directly, and when he spoke, others naturally didn't say much. It all looks like he is the leader.

Not long after, someone led a thin man in. This man had slender eyes, revealing a shrewd look, and a smile on his face.

As soon as he came in, he saluted Qiu Yan respectfully and said, "Student Feng Mou has met Marquis Dingguo."

"Your name is Feng Mou?" Qiu Yan looked at the other person. After many transformations, he could already see a trace of luck in his body. He was clearly connected to the dragon's energy, and he had a vague appearance of Yi Ding. He was convinced, " What is your connection with the new law?”

As soon as he said this, everyone around him who was looking at Feng Mou had their thoughts moved.

Especially Li Kuo and Luo Zhongjie's expressions changed, thinking of someone coming.

Both of them have complicated backgrounds. Li Kuo was originally a member of the old party, and he wanted to plot against Qiu Yan when he was taking the imperial examination. However, he had no political ambitions and was just a speculator. He was killed by Qiu Yan. After grasping the handle, he started to play Infernal Affairs, lurking in the old party, and successively worked with Zhang Lian, Xu Ying and others, constantly spreading information and pulling the cause and effect. When Qiu Yan's cultivation was not high, This person's information is really helpful.

It was just a matter of coming and going, and it was inevitable that he would be exposed, so he simply went to Qiu Yan with all his might.

As for Na Luo Zhongjie, he was originally a cadre of the new party. However, after Wang Fu stepped down, he did not agree with the policies of Cen Bo and others. There were signs of disunity. However, his differences with the old party were too great to be bridged. It happened at this time When Qiu Yan came to power, he tried to get closer, and now he has become one of Qiu Yan's team members.

Corresponding to Luo Zhongjie is Hu Yong. This person is from the old party. He competed with Luo Zhongjie during the joint examination. However, the power struggle within the old party was not peaceful. He eventually lost power and was even endangered. Possible at home had to find a big tree to take shelter, but the New Party had deep grievances from the past and the New Party, and there was not much room for choice.

But towards Feng Mou, among everyone present, Li Kuo and Luo Zhongjie were somewhat impressed.

"I heard that when Wang Xiangguo carried out the reform, there was an aide who made suggestions. Many new laws and policies were actually said by this person and were scrupulous by Zhang Lao Xiangguo and others." Li Kuo looked Feng Mou up and down. Gradually he overlapped with the person in the intelligence, "Could this person be Your Excellency?"

Luo Zhongjie nodded and said: "That's right. I was not an important member of the New Party at the beginning, but I have attended several banquets and met Mr. Feng at the banquet." He already used the honorific title in his words.

"I see, I have heard about this." Qiu Yan nodded, then stood up, saluted Feng Mou, and asked him to take a seat.

"Master Marquis doesn't need to be so polite. The students really can't bear it." Feng Mou said this, but he still sat down. People like them have a lot of arrogance in their hearts. Only those in power can shake their minds and show their courtesy. ability.

Moreover, when Feng Mou came over this time, he originally had the intention of changing the family, so he naturally expressed his intention. This was not because he was courting Qin Muchu, but because he had no choice but to do so. Youdao is an emperor and a minister. After Wang Fu stepped down, the leader of the New Party Yi Lord, Wang Fu's original team will naturally have to be replaced gradually and lose power quickly.

This is not because Cen Bo and others do not know the capabilities of Feng Mou and others, but because of their power. They were able to reach this point not just by themselves, but by the entire interest group behind them. It is the result of the "investment" of many people. , this is the same regardless of ancient and modern times. It cannot be changed just because the system is changed. Since it is an investment, it requires a return. When the return is achieved, the purpose is achieved and the power is gained. At this time, it is natural to eliminate the loss of backers, Those who still occupy the position let their close people and supporters take the position.

Even within the force, there are various factions, which are divided everywhere and cannot be unified.

After everyone sat down again, Qiu Yan asked, "Sir, what do you want to teach me here?"

Feng Mou was not polite and stood up and replied: "The Marquis has now started a war with the aristocratic family. There is no need for students to elaborate on the dangers involved. It is just a matter of suppressing them blindly. After all, there is something wrong. In the end, the families that could have developed into allies may be destroyed. Force him to the other side." Qiu Yan treated him with courtesy, and he would respond with courtesy.

Qiu Yan nodded when he heard this, and then asked: "This ally refers to the Meng family and other emerging families."

The so-called Meng family is the family to which Meng Qingbin belongs. It is a newly rising faction in today's aristocratic families. It is called an emerging aristocratic family, and most of them are in the north.

Since ancient times, there have been threats from the north. Therefore, the north is mostly a war-torn place. Not to mention the fierce folk customs, it is not conducive to the survival of a large family——

The prerequisite for reproduction and inheritance is a stable external condition.

Therefore, in the past dynasties, many northern aristocratic families moved south, especially at the beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. They accompanied the royal family to the south. Northern aristocratic families even moved their whole families and went south to the south of the Yangtze River to resettle. Over time, the south became a place where aristocratic families gathered. , has a long history.

Looking at the north, most of the aristocratic families have recently formed, or their original branches have grown, and their status in the aristocratic family alliance is not high. However, as Qiu Yan returned from the grassland, leaving behind movable type printing and many technologies, this situation began to change. .

Those many technologies, such as forging and other methods, are enough to allow the northern family to rise economically, and movable type printing undoubtedly exerts cultural influence. With the backing of economic strength and cultural weapons, a formal rise is inevitable .

But this is undoubtedly threatening the interests of the established family, so the rift in interests has already arisen, and the day when the two sides will become officially hostile is not far away.

"It's just that the rift is not obvious now. There are still many marriages between them and some affection remains. At this time, Mr. Marquis, if you suddenly take action, the external pressure will be great, which will undoubtedly force them to share the same hatred."

Feng Mou's sentence-by-sentence analysis showed his familiarity with the inside of the family, and he analyzed the stakes one by one in simple and profound terms. This ability alone was enough to prove that the rumors about him were by no means groundless.

"It is unrealistic for the Marquis to exterminate the family in a short period of time. On the contrary, once the family collapses completely, someone will definitely come to take advantage of the vacant profit space. It is either a family or a powerful person. It is better to suppress and fight one faction and let the emerging family Grow stronger and seize the sphere of influence of the established aristocratic families. In this way, Mr. Hou, you will have arms. "

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod, feeling that it was a clear path. To be honest, Qiu Yan's suppression of the aristocratic family really made them feel frightened.

"Yes, as long as the profit space still exists, someone will eventually occupy it," Qiu Yan nodded slowly, "It's just that the important thing is not who occupies it, but how long they can occupy it."

These words made everyone stunned.

Then, Qiu Yan continued: "Even if the emerging aristocratic families occupy this space, it won't be long before they become an established aristocratic family, and they will remain unchanged for a hundred years until the next reform or the collapse of the country..."
