Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 273 The Crowd ([-])
The next day

Luo Yang
Yuan Mansion
"Liang Ji, a domineering general, actually wants to make a frail and sick clan emperor. He clearly wants to keep power in the court!" Li Gu, a famous scholar, scolded Liang Ji in the Yuan Mansion.

"I thought the world would be peaceful when the eunuch died, but I didn't expect that foreign relatives are not good things." Wang Guang was also angrily. , all belong to the No.15 generation of the Wang family, and they just turned 15 this year.

Originally, with the prestige of the Wang family, even without sending money, he could easily serve as a prefect, and then exchange positions with other families, so as to avoid the rule of the imperial court that local people could not be officials in the local area.

For example, the children of the Wang family went to Runan to be the prefect, and the Yuan family's children went to Liaodong to be the prefect, so that would be fine.

But Liang Ji's insatiable greed made the Wang family reluctantly give up Huo Tanyi to get the prefect position.

But it's not all good news. The good news is that Liang Ji didn't pay attention to the imperial court's system at all. He knew that the imperial court stipulated that local people cannot be local officials, but in order to make money, he didn't care. To the official, it doesn't matter what court avoidance system you have.

"My lords, stay safe and don't be impatient." Yuan Jing, the old grandpa of the Yuan family, passed away a long time ago. The current head of the Yuan family is Yuan Tang. Yuan Cheng stepped down as the governor of Youzhou, and came to Luoyang to become a Jiuqing.

After Liang Ji came to power, he made a lot of adjustments to personnel. Zhou Jing, the magistrate of Shuxian County, Lujiang County, was transferred to the General's Mansion by Liang Ji because of Wang Yun's reputation, so as to add some prestige to his own General's Mansion. .

As for the Yuan family, they are still the masters of standing in line.

In the past, the Yuan family gave gifts to the eunuchs on the surface and cooperated with other gentry families secretly. The current Yuan family gave gifts to Liang Ji on the surface and continued to cooperate with other gentry families secretly.

Every time he was able to stand on the side of the winner, he was appointed as the Sangong by the winner in power in return.

The Yuan family's team formation skills are worth learning by Wang Guang.

The Wang family stood in line with the Seven Kingdoms during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, and then stood in line with Zhang Bu during the troubled times of Xinmang. The two mistakes in standing in line made the Wang family almost suffer disaster, but fortunately, they could rectify the chaos in time.

"Tomorrow's court meeting, as long as all of our gentry work together to oppose our relative Liang Ji and prevent him from continuing to establish a puppet emperor, then Liang Ji will definitely be afraid!" The naive Li Gu said confidently.

"What Zijian said is true." Wang Guang agreed with him, and then poured Li Gu a cup of wine in person to express his admiration.

Zijian is Li Gu's character, and he is also very excited at the moment. Like Wang Yun, he is a person who truly respects the emperor and loves the country, but he is a little naive, thinking that other scholars are just like him and Wang Yun.

"You and Wang Yun are different." On the main seat, Yuan Cheng, the young master of the Yuan family, sighed inwardly, but then toasted Li Gu with a smile on his face: "Zi Jian, you are indeed the brightest man in the world. (Guang Guang) Ming, written by Wang Changjiong)”

"With the help of the Yuan family in Runan, Liang Ji will not dare to do evil!" Li Gu was overjoyed. With the support of the Yuan family in Runan, the number one gentry in the world, he had greater confidence in defeating Liang Ji.

In order to show their iron bones, the rest of the scholars also smiled and said: "Zijian, I am yearning for him."

"Don't worry, Zijian, we are all disciples of the sage Confucius, so naturally we have to work together, advance and retreat together." Wang Guang complimented from the side.

"Yes, yes." The rest of the scholars also agreed one after another, as if the whole world was under their control.

If we only talk about strength on paper, the power of the gentry surpassed the entire court as early as Emperor Guangwu's founding of the country. As long as they can truly unite, let alone a Liang Ji, what is the entire Han court?

However, the more complex the composition, the larger the number of people, the more conflicts of interest, and the greater the differences between groups, the more difficult it is to unite.

Gentlemen are just a general concept, just like barbarians are a general concept.

In the eyes of the Chinese people outside the barbarian group, the barbarians seem to be a united existence, but in the eyes of a specific barbarian, I am me, I don’t know each other well, and I am united as a hammer.

It is the same in the gentry circle.

People of later generations always exaggerate the energy of this group, which is actually against human nature.

Every gentry is a living person, they have their own pursuit of interests, have their own emotions, how can it be possible to be monolithic because of the general concept of gentry?

On the one hand, their overall strength is indeed very strong, so strong that it can scare the court, on the other hand, it is difficult for them to truly form a monolithic whole, and they are easily broken by the court and those in power.

As a class as a whole, they are invincible, and the imperial power cannot shake them, but as an individual, they are fragile, and any powerful eunuch can ruin their family.

Just like the general concept of ordinary people, as a class as a whole, it is invincible and can easily overthrow all reactionary forces, but as an individual, it is very fragile, and any servant of a gentry family can make them die without burial. land.

In fact, it is the same reason, it is the difference between the whole and the individual.

The mob that Wang Bian said is nothing more than the same, it looks very strong, but if there is a real fight, most of them will scatter like birds and beasts, each sweeping the snow in front of the door.

Of course, if the mob is driven to a dead end, it is not impossible for them to be monolithic. For example, Wang Mang’s reform is to completely drive the tyrants to a dead end, forcing the originally neutral tyrants to unite against him. .

So how to deal with this group of mobs is a great test of the ruler's methods.

If you deal with it well, you will be Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. If you don't deal with it well, you will become Wang Mang.

A group of scholars strongly supported Li Gu at the banquet, encouraging Li Gu to go forward bravely to oppose Liang Ji, and then they hid behind them to watch the situation and wait for an opportunity to pick peaches.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

The problem now is that everyone wants to be an oriole, but no one wants to be a praying mantis, so the cicada, which should have been arrested, is very safe, because everyone only wants to be an oriole.

……

another day later
Nangong
main hall
"Go up!—"

Following the eunuch's long voice, a group of ministers took off their shoes, stepped on cloth socks and entered the hall, and shouted "Long live" three times.

As soon as the court meeting began, Liang Ji got straight to the point: "When the emperor dies, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The son of the king of Bohai should be established as the emperor. Who agrees and who opposes?"

After all, General Liang Ji glanced at the officials.

At the Yuan family banquet last night, all the scholars and officials who vowed to unite against Liang Ji shrank their heads, and no one dared to be the first to jump out and be the first bird.

Yuan Cheng, the young master of the Yuan family, didn't say a word, and he didn't hear anything in the hall. Wang Guang looked at the pillars in the hall, as if everything had nothing to do with him. He winked at Yuan Cheng.

In the end, no one in Leng was willing to be the first to jump out and be the first bird, and everyone wanted to be the sixth child.

The attitude of the scholars chilled Li Gu, but he stood up and objected: "The son of the King of Bohai is too young to be the emperor. He should choose an adult from the clan to be the emperor!"

Clang!
"Bold!" Liang Ji was furious, and directly glared at Li Gu with his sword drawn in the hall.

Now Li Gu is already a Taiwei, but he has no power, and the power is in the hands of the general Liang Ji.

Seeing that Liang Ji looked like he was going to kill someone, Yuan Cheng hurried out to smooth things over: "General, please calm down, Li Taiwei just accidentally said the wrong thing."

Wang Guang saw Yuan Cheng stand up, so he also persuaded: "General, the matter of abolishing the establishment may be a long-term plan."

The rest of the scholars also persuaded: "The general, please think twice."

"Today, the son of the King of Bohai must be made emperor, and he must be established! He must be established! Whoever dares to object, I will kill him!" Liang Ji stared wide-eyed, pointing his long sword at everyone.

Seeing this situation, a group of scholars no longer persisted and kept silent. Li Gu also sighed helplessly and returned to his seat.

snort!A group of mobs who can't even fight eunuchs want to fight Liang Ji with me?
Liang Ji taunted secretly, feeling even more proud.
