Lord Yuan

Chapter 50
Although Xun Chen has lived in Yingchuan for a long time, he often hears Runan's Yuedan comments.

The Yuedan Commentary created by the two Xu brothers can be regarded as a model of "Qingyi" in the world.

Speaking of which, Mr. Guo would hold so many banquets one after another, and he also wanted to compete with Runan Xu Shao.

The reputation of Yuedan Ping was so loud that many scholars from Yingchuan County dressed up and went to Pingyu.

The purpose is to be able to see this clear current of the times, Yuedan Commentary, so there will be no regrets.

With such a prestigious reputation, there will naturally be countless celebrities who rush to Pingyu in order to compete for fame like crucian carp crossing the river.

Yuedan Criticism has always been outstanding in its clear deliberation, and it is even more outstanding in debating the current situation. If it were not for the fact that the Xu family was not from a top family, Xun Chen believed that if the Yuan family were left to handle it, the momentum would be far from what it is now.

But even under such circumstances, Yuedan Commentary is still the most famous place for Qing Dynasty discussions in the contemporary era.

Being able to occupy the top spot in the Moon Dan Review and suppressing other celebrities is difficult to refute. You can only imagine how much talent and learning these people have in their belly.

Xun Chen really couldn't imagine how such a young Yuan Shao managed to outlast the others.

Yuedan Pingzhong is not like Guo Gongze, who are all young talents from the same county. There are many famous bachelors who have been famous for a long time.

"Brother Yuan is so talented and learned. I think my uncle will be delighted to meet you. Why don't you let Chen lead the way and pay a visit to my Xun family?"

Xun Chen sincerely invited him. As for the Yuan family in Runan, Xun Chen really wanted to find an opportunity to contact him.

However, although the Xun family has a deep reputation and has a divine monarch like Xun Shu in their ancestors, compared with the Yuan family, the Yuan family's energy in the court completely overwhelms everything.

If the uncle could connect with the Yuan family through Yuan Shao, the Xun family would not be as prestigious as it is now in Yingchuan.

Although his uncle resigned from the imperial court several times, it does not mean that the Xun family does not want to make achievements in the imperial court. It is just that the current situation is not too good. Due to the ban of the party, the scholars cannot regain power at all.

Yuan Shao was happy to see the success.

Who can despise too much of fame?

One of his plans included making friends with talented children from various families in Yingchuan.

With this reputation that is enough to push him forward, he is more sure of what is about to happen.

And Yuan Shao agreed very clearly.

Jing Gu stood aside and smiled from ear to ear. He didn't understand why Xun Chen lowered his attitude to invite Yuan Shao.

He simply thought that Xun Youruo would be interested in making friends after seeing Yuan Shao's talent.

And if Yuan Shao can go to the Xun family, he can also sneak into the Xun family as a follower and make up for the regrets from last time.

When he thought of this, Jing Gu was much happier than Yuan Shao.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Xun Chen lowered his attitude to get to know Yuan Shao, and received a positive answer from Yuan Shao.

But Guo Tu on the stage finally got rid of the previous failure predicament.

When he fixed his eyes on Yuan Shao, he heard Xun Chen's uncharacteristic look, and suddenly felt something bad in his heart.

Among the Yingchuan family, although the Xun family's fame and prestige far exceed that of the Guo family, it is all due to the divine monarch Xun Shu who dominates the rest, so that the entire Yingchuan family does not want anyone to compare with the Xun family, but this is true for success and failure.

Xun's literary talent was outstanding, but he never made any great achievements in officialdom.The Guo family, on the other hand, has a family of seven officers and a three-gong prince, and is almost at the forefront of the family.

If a family wants to develop, in addition to having enough reputation to support it, it also needs military power.

For a family to become a powerful local family, it needs a lot of money. If you want to gather enough money, the best way is to serve as a civil servant and control the power.

Descendants of their own family status began to gradually replace local officials, govern the local area, support tribes, and annex land.

Gradually, through years of development, the family will become a powerful family.

And they want to become the only big family in a county, or even a county.

That would require your own family group to completely occupy the highest level of the local civil and military system, occupy a dominant position for a long time, control the dividend policy, and use all means at its disposal to forcefully suppress the new aristocratic families and prevent any aristocratic family from reaching out. A situation where you are at odds with yourself appears.

Just like the Yuan family, which dominates Runan, almost all of the officials serving are former disciples of the Yuan family. Local officials often choose to be the first to visit Yuan's mansion when they are in office.

It is not only to appease the Lord’s heart and show loyalty, but also to make it easier for the next work to proceed.

And the land of Runan is a county.

Except for the Yuan family, which is a giant family, the other aristocratic families cannot pose much threat to the Yuan family.

This is the great benefit brought by the Yuan family's many years of operation and control of local power.

And Yingchuan Guo did the same thing.

He was born as a court official, had seven masters in his family, and was one of the three princes of the dynasty. Such a position occupied nearly half of Yingchuan's power. Even Guo Tu, who had just received his crown, was promoted to be filial and honest under a series of operations. He was appointed as a small official under the command of Yingchuan Prefect.

How could the Guo family, which has such great power, allow other aristocratic families to become bigger? Therefore, the underlying purpose of the Guo family is to suppress other aristocratic families at all costs, gather Yingchuan scholars and talented people, and prevent them from joining the family. Other aristocratic families.

Of course, on the surface, the relationship between the Guo family and other aristocratic families is relatively harmonious.

Otherwise, Xun Chen would not attend the banquet of Guo Gongze, a direct descendant of the Guo family, as a representative of the Xun family.

Therefore, when Guo Tu saw that Xun Chen, who was supposed to be calm and composed, began to lower his attitude to please the descendants of the Yuan family in Runan, he knew that this matter could not be easily achieved by Xun Chen. .

So, he straightened up his appearance and planned to confront Xun Chen personally.

Let him have a good talk and let him understand that this is Yingchuan, and you and I are both Yingchuan talents. It is really not the behavior of a gentleman to conspire with people from other counties to plot Yingchuan.

If you have the ability, fight in a down-to-earth manner without relying on outside influence.

You are hooking up with people from other counties like this, and you still belong to the kind of family that is obviously the top family.

This kind of behavior is tantamount to overturning the table of the Yingchuan family.

Guo Tu would not tolerate such behavior.

The sudden appearance of Yuan Shao had already made Guo Tu feel a strong sense of crisis.

"Youruo, you are so chatting and laughing, why haven't you been on stage before?" Guo Tu tried his best to put on a peaceful and calm smile.

"It's an unexpected pleasure to meet Brother Yuan, so I won't bother Gongze."
