Shu Blossoms

Chapter 93
Wang Can stood at the door and watched as the uncles and uncles of all ethnic groups boarded the cart and staggered away. Wang Can's younger brother Wang Zhi stood aside and said softly, "Your Majesty has taken so much trouble to encourage all the people to join the army, not only To defend the city!"

Wang Can chuckled, "Our Majesty was recommended by Xu Xuanzhi after discussing with several noble families. At the time, everyone saw him as an extensive book, a little bit of scriptures and history, and he wrote a beautiful official script. The emperor who is quite different from the previous emperor will be closer to the nobility."

Wang Can said with a sigh, "I knew at the beginning that they would be disappointed. After all, the power in the hands of the imperial power and the gentry is the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the imperial power is stronger, the gentry will be weaker. It's an irreconcilable contradiction."

Wang Zhi nodded in agreement. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty a few hundred years ago, and after a hundred years of development and growth during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the gentry have been unwilling to return their power to the emperor. Saying it is unbearable.

Unfortunately, their young majesty, who seems to be a gentle and practical power, is an emperor with a vision in his heart.

"Although His Majesty is young, he has more thoughts than the previous emperor. From the standpoint of the nobles, their worries are right." Wang Can muttered as he looked at the vanishing cart.

"Then we really don't have to do anything?" Wang Zhi asked hesitantly.

"What are you doing?" Wang Can glanced back at him, then turned and walked into the mansion, "In the struggle for power, it is enough for the Langxie Wang clan to have a Wang Quan, don't forget the legacy of the great-grandfather, a man should not enter the office with fame and fortune alone. It's really about doing something for the country and the people."

"Since the Wang family decided to join the late emperor at the beginning, and now he is considered to be a wise monarch, we naturally want to take this opportunity to do more things that are beneficial to the country and the people."

Mentioning Wang Quan, Wang Zhi couldn't help laughing softly: "Wang Quan considers himself to be His Majesty's confidant and close minister, but I didn't expect His Majesty to guard the city this time to hand over the responsibility of the chief commander to the eldest brother. I wonder what his face looks like at this moment? Like iron, jealousy attacking your heart?"

Wang Can glanced at the younger brother with a slight reproach, and said lightly: "Is it a clan brother or your clan brother, you can't talk about right and wrong behind your back!"

Wang Zhi smiled and admitted his mistake, but he did not restrain his attitude. Obviously, he did not despise Wang Quan's daily look with his eyes above the top.

Speaking of the two brothers entering the house, Wang Can saw his son running excitedly, so he stopped and reprimanded: "Now he is also a father, how can he be so reckless!"

Wang Zhi excused his nephew who was three years younger than him, "It must have been heard that he could join the army, and I was eager to find you to sign up!"

Wang Can's eldest son, Wang Xu, hurriedly stopped, tidying up his appearance, and then walked three steps in front of the two Wang Can brothers and respectfully saluted them, "Xu has seen my father, little uncle."

Wang Can's great-grandfather was the founding veteran of the previous dynasty. The Wang family was highly regarded in the previous dynasty. Wang Can was also a minister of the previous dynasty. Later, he and Wang Quan went to the former emperor. In the eyes of the former dynasty's survivors and many people They are naturally traitors, so over the years, Wang Can has restrained his clansmen from speaking and doing things carefully and keeping a low profile.

Except for their own office in the book, no one else is serving in the court.

In the eyes of people who don't know the Wang family, they naturally feel that the Langya Wang family is now withered in talent, only fame and no longer prosperous.

In fact, this is not the case. In the past hundred years, none of the Wang family's children have been addicted to hedonism and extravagance, and they all attach importance to morality and knowledge.

Wang Can can proudly say that the children of the Wang family are no worse than the children of any other family.

The fresh-clothed and angry young man was full of enthusiasm, and he hoped that his ambitions would be realized. Now that he was shocked to hear that the sons of ordinary people could make achievements, Wang Xu naturally couldn't sit still.

Wang Xu looked at his father anxiously, and saw that although his father did not mean to blame, his expression gradually became solemn, "Darang, do you know what it means that the elders of the gentry came together today?"

Wang Xu looked at his father, and replied in a clear and clear voice: "Father, I know a little about it. Now the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty started at the end of the century, and it took only 30 or [-] years to follow the first emperor. There are more and more people, and the interests and powers of the gentry are being squeezed out, and my son thinks that the elders are afraid, and he is afraid that His Majesty's move will take the opportunity to promote more rookies to seize the power in the hands of the gentry."

Wang Can was noncommittal, but then asked rhetorically, "You don't seem to think so?"

Wang Xu smiled heartily, "I feel that the noble family has been here for hundreds of years, and the accumulation of these hundreds of years is not comparable to the sons of the poor family overnight. Even if these rookies gain power for a while, they will not last. In the future, unless these sons of the poor family are His Majesty's confidants. , must turn to the nobility for the opportunity of promotion."

"Although your remarks seem to be in the current situation, how do you know that these impoverished children who have taken refuge in the nobility are not a short thorn in the emperor's hands?"

Wang Zhi smiled and picked on his nephew's thorns, but Wang Xu refused to accept it and wanted to refute it, but Wang Can waved his hand to stop it, "These are all external forces, and the gentry who lost here are also because of their improper conduct. If you have different opinions, you can debate in the future. ."

Wang Can looked at his son solemnly at this time, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you imagine how a father persuaded these difficult elders?"

Wang Xu nodded curiously, and Wang Can then said, "For my father, tell them that in today's troubled times, natural disasters and wars occur from time to time, nearly half of the people in the previous dynasty died in the war, and more of them survived to die after the war." Injuries, therefore, in any war, at least 100% of the attackers and defenders suffered casualties, and the entire army was wiped out. How many of these people who came to the battlefield on the spur of the moment left the battlefield alive, and how many people Can they make great achievements and ascend to heaven? Only one former emperor was born in 50 years, and Han Daoyuan was born in 20 years, but they still dare not disintegrate the foundation of the gentry within [-] years. The most important thing is that the enemy is now, on the battlefield The situation is changing rapidly, and it is more important to keep the family members alive. After all, there are too many noble families who have disappeared in the past ten years."

"I'm going to tell you this again, because I want to tell you that you were born in the Wang family, and since you were a child, you have learned martial arts, literacy, and the art of warfare. What the sage said is very clear, do princes and generals have a seed? Whether it is common people or princes, start from the bottom when you enter the military camp, then life and death will be determined, and wealth will be in heaven! Even I will not give you any preferential treatment! Do you understand?"

Wang Xu nodded seriously, "Father, I want to join the army, and I also want to know how much I have!"

"Then go to the military camp to sign up tomorrow!"

As soon as Wang Can finished speaking, Wang Xu happily bowed to the end and left happily.

Like Wang Xu, there are many people in Kyoto who want to join the army to show their skills. Except for the people of the martial arts who are forced to join the army, the children of other officials' families are still voluntarily.

After all, Emperor Zhou didn't dare to anger the nobles at once, but he angered his niece!

"Why are you practicing martial arts in the martial arts academy? Only those over the age of 15 can join the army. Most of them can't beat me!"

Zheng Wei angrily jumped at his brother.
