Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 291 The Family Response
Liu Yizhen's oral instructions and order to seek talents soon spread to a circle of official family members.

They also fell into a split after hearing the news.

Some people think that Liu Yizhen is just putting on airs, and the emperor still wants to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats after all.

Some people think that the emperor has been extremely powerful since he took office, and if he really loses the official position he has climbed so hard, it will be a disaster for the family.

The Zhou family, which was originally from Zhou Tong, an official of the household department, is the latter at the moment.

In addition to the reason of the emperor, Gao Yun, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, also influenced his decision.

Zhou Tong is not a member of the Pangzhi tribe, so he doesn't get much political resources. He has been working as a petty official in obscurity before.

Later, the central government system changed drastically, and people from the Tianzi faction came to power. Gao Yun discovered Zhou Tong's talent in mathematics and brought him into the household department.

It can be said that Zhou Tong, a member of the collateral clan, has almost reached the sky in one step. As long as he works hard, he will not only be able to ascend to the position of Shangshu in the future, but at least he will be one of the six high-ranking officials.

But all of this was ruined by a stupid decision of the family.

Now Zhou Tong is in great pain, he doesn't know how to face Gao Yun, let alone how to face the court.

After being so decadent for a few days, Zhou Tong was called away by the head of his family again.

It turned out that the Zhou family was also scared at this moment, and planned to let Zhou Tong return to the household department.

After all, the southern governors that the emperor intends to deal with are not their Zhou family!
Now that Zhou Tong has entered the Ministry of Accounting, and has been reused by the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, there is no reason to get involved in this matter!

Zhou Tong was speechless after learning all this.

Why didn't the family think of this sooner?
Why is the family so stupid?
Why is the family still so naive now?
Only Zhou Tong knew that he was in the officialdom and it was over.

He is not the kind of officialdom talent in the traditional sense, he can speak up and down, and he can deal with superior officials and ordinary people.

He was favored by Gao Yun because of his talent in mathematics.

It can be said that Gao Yun is everything to him in the officialdom.

Now that I put Gao Yun together, do I still expect Gao Yun to continue to reuse me?

Have these people in the family been away from officialdom for so long that they have forgotten that officialdom is a place that pays attention to "factions" and "backgrounds"?

Zhou Tong's eyes gradually changed from resentment to anger, and from anger to hatred.

But in the end, looking at his parents, relatives, brothers and sisters, his hatred also turned into a cloud of smoke, and he didn't know where to go.

He returned to his room to bathe and burn incense, and took out his official uniform on top from the closet.

There are several wrinkles on the clothes, but this kind of government office is made of high-quality silk, and these wrinkles can be erased with a light touch.

Putting on the official mansion, Zhou Tong came to the imperial city in a daze, and entered the six official offices behind the inspector.

Looking at the Household Yamen, which seemed like a world away after not seeing him for a few days, Zhou Tong dared not enter for a long time.

"Zhou Tong, are you here?"

Zhou Tong turned around and saw that it was an official with whom he had a good relationship.

"Go in quickly. I told Gao Shangshu about you, and he won't make things difficult for you."

Zhou Tong felt a little more at ease now, and entered the yamen of the household department in a little confusion, and saw Gao Yun sitting at the head at a glance.

With three points of shame and seven points of embarrassment, Zhou Tong stepped forward to meet Gao Yun: "Your official Zhou Tong has seen Gao Shangshu."

"Ah."

The one-word answer made Zhou Tong happy and disappointed at the same time.

"carry on."

Three more words, Zhou Tong's eyes became dull.

In the old days, Gao Yun, an out-of-the-ordinary superior, might talk to him about math problems, be willing to pass on the knowledge he called "geometry", and be willing to chat with himself about the interesting stories between him and the emperor back then, and that said to be difficult. Perverted math problems...

But all of this is gone.

In Gao Yun's eyes, he was also reduced to a commoner.

Zhou Tong raised his head and found that it was his friend who was serving Gao Yun instead.

And Gao Yun also kindly pointed out that friend...

Zhou Tong's complexion was a little distorted, and his heart became unwilling again.

That position should have been his own!
But at the same time, he also knew that he would never return to that position.

The difference is that my friend did not give up the burden under the pressure of the family, and his family did not bow to the power of other families, while I chose the family among Gao Yun and the family.

It is easy to wipe the wrinkles on the clothes, but it is the most difficult thing in the world to wipe the wrinkles in the heart.

He completely parted ways with the future that should belong to him.

People like Zhou Tong are not special cases.

Under Liu Yizhen's particularly tough attitude, many officials returned to the government after careful consideration and chose to bow their heads.

In the end, the tide receded, and the group of the most lovable family revealed their figures.

They are all the forces behind the southern county guards, and now they are suddenly exposed, and they are all at a loss.

The essence of the family paper tiger was revealed at this moment.

With the strength of the emperor and the abandonment of Wang Xie, no one wants to continue to mess with them.

At this moment, the others are looking for their own mothers and going back to their respective homes, with an expression of "my mother won't let me play with idiots", leaving these aristocratic families alone to accept the emperor's violent storms and thunder's wrath.

Now these aristocratic families are finally panicking.

They went to the mansions of Wang and Xie with gifts, hoping that they could mediate from it.

But Wang Hong and Xie Hui, who were already tired of this matter, of course would not care about them anymore.

The isolation and helplessness of the center did not make these aristocratic families wake up.

There is no way out for them now.

Some aristocratic families have contacted their clansmen working abroad, especially officials in Jingzhou and Shu who are far away from the imperial court.

As for what to do...

Naturally, the fish will die and the net will be broken!
What they don't know is that these secret information have long been leaked to the emperor's court by their own ghosts.

As the so-called dead Taoist friends do not die poor Taoism.

There is never only one way to survive.

When someone chooses to die, there is naturally another way to survive——

Leaks.

Not everyone has the courage to be a desperado. Just when a group of aristocratic families decided to contact outside clansmen for a desperate fight, someone immediately reported to the emperor, saying that there was rebellion against the party.

This time, even Wang Hong could not save these people, because they had stepped on the red line between Liu Yizhen and the court.

The Criminal Department and the Dali Division, which had been doing nothing all day long, instantly became the busiest institutions in Jiankang City. They can catch criminals from all over Jiankang every day, and even the prison of the Criminal Department is full.

A huge group that seemed to be extremely united fell apart from within under a little pressure. This good show undoubtedly made all parties who were still watching the excitement fearful.

It's not scary if the enemy is strong, but it's really the original sin if the teammates are mentally retarded.
