Dao Fruit

"The aristocratic family occupies and then uses this to continuously gain advantages, making the interest space more and more solidified, just like a pool of stagnant water. But if this space is constantly replaced and filled, the stagnant water will become living water, and there may still be silt and filth. But through the flow of water, it can slowly settle and wash..."

Qiu Yan said this, and many people in the room already understood what he meant. ←

But people like Feng Mou think about much more than that. What he really cares about is what kind of people and groups should fill these spaces in Qiu Yan's heart.

On the other side, Qiu Yan changed the subject: "It's just that this cannot be done overnight. It must be implemented in stages. The goal at this stage is to break the solidified dead water first and then make space available. For this purpose, we might as well unite everyone The power that can unite.”

As soon as the voice fell, the news came from outside the door. With Qiu Yan's permission, the servant who had brought Feng Mou here walked into the room and said to Qiu Yan: "General Yang, over there. The news has come, please take a look at it.”

"No need to give it to me, just circulate it to everyone here." Qiu Yan waved his hand.

The servant did as he was told and handed a note in his hand to the nearest Qi Jiulian.

Qi Jiulian listened to his grandfather's words and came to join Qiu Yan. However, he was not obsessed with officialdom and did not seek any official position, so he only joined Qiu Yan's camp as an aide or guest.

But even a person like Qi Jiulian, who is not keen on power, couldn't help but take a breath after seeing what was listed on the note, his face changed drastically, and then he suddenly raised his head to look at Qiu Yan, with a look in his eyes. It has an incredible meaning.

Noticing Qi Jiulian's expression, the others also felt a thump in their hearts, and the people nearby quickly took the note and circulated it. But everyone who saw the content was shocked.

When the whole note was passed to Feng Mou, the counselor who had just joined and proposed the overall strategy of winning over and suppressing one faction, he frowned and asked Qiu Yan: "What is this matter?" General Yang Huang’s own judgment, or should he act according to his orders?”

Qiu Yan admitted straightforwardly: "I ordered him to do this."

After hearing what he said, everyone else sighed and didn't know how to answer the question. Finally, Feng Mou continued: "The fourth and third sons of the Yuan family have great influence in the family. They are a flag. If Yuan Hao is captured, it will easily cause a backlash. Whether it is an emerging family or an established family, If you want to give up, your plan to win over one faction may be difficult to achieve. "

"No." Qiu Yan shook his head, "I want to win over the emerging aristocratic families, but not now, but to severely dampen their spirit. Otherwise, it is very likely that they will turn their backs on guests and not be able to distinguish priorities. I am opening up territory for them. This gives them confidence, and this will harm them. I don’t want to suppress the established aristocratic families just now and suppress the emerging aristocratic families as well.”

There was a sense of confidence in Qiu Yan's words, as if the family alliance, whose people were as heavy as a mountain, was completely vulnerable and was doomed to fail, but they would not be convinced by a few simple words and believe blindly.

Then Li Kuo asked cautiously: "Please, Mr. Hou, give us a general plan so that we can have peace of mind."

"You will be able to see the specific things soon. Now, simply speaking, it is impossible to describe clearly." Qiu Yan shook his head and did not explain clearly. He glanced at everyone and paid attention to their expressions. "The top priority is still your positions." As for the arrangement, I already have plans for Minister Zheng’s position, so I might as well join the Censor Taichung.”

Seeing that Zheng Quan had something to say, Qiu Yan waved his hand to stop: "I know your ambition. You are not a clique, nor do you want to attack dissidents. In this case, then sit on the censor's stage to impeach and supervise. Even if Qiu makes any mistakes in the future, he can still speak up, but in extraordinary circumstances, I may not follow it. I hope you can understand this. "

"I would like to thank you, Lord Marquis, for your kindness." Speaking of this, what else could Zheng Quan say? It can be said that all aspects have been considered and he has been left with room.

Apart from Zheng Quan, the only other person who is sure to be arranged is Li Kuo, and Qiu Yan plans to place him in the six departments.

This man is different from Zheng Quan. He is an opportunistic person, so he naturally does not have many scruples. After he defected to Qiu Yan, he would not sing the opposite, and could become a sharp weapon and tool in Qiu Yan's hands.

As for the others, Qiu Yan didn't have much arrangements, but they seemed to be his power and staff to control the government in the future.

The brief meeting ended here, but the impact it brought was far-reaching.

In the next few days, the capital was turbulent. As Feng Mou said, after Yuan Hao and Zhang Xiping were arrested, a strong wind blew up in the court, showing that everyone was in danger. Qiu Yan's complaints became more and more intense, and he felt like he couldn't suppress them anymore.

After all, no matter how big the handle is, it can't cover up the feeling of cold lips and teeth.

In this strange atmosphere, the funeral of Emperor Daxing and the preparations for the new emperor's enthronement were announced, leaving the capital immersed in complex mood swings——

After all, the blood color in Tianshan has not completely dissipated. The news of the emperor's death was revealed at this time, which can easily arouse others' associations. In addition, some people are adding fuel to the flames, which only intensifies the situation and makes the situation more complicated.

And many aristocratic families also deliberately took advantage of it and wanted to bury Qiu Yan in this fire!

But just when this storm was about to come, Zhixing Academy opened outside the city, and Qiu Yan sat in it, recruiting disciples and teaching Qiu Xue.

However, under the pressure of many aristocratic families, coupled with the chaos in the world, very few people came to Qiu to learn, and even fewer of them could meet the requirements and truly get started.

In the end, three days after the opening of the hospital, apart from Zheng Yun and Meng Sanyi, who were originally Qiu Yan's disciples, the only two people who had actually started were Wu Meng and Sun Xun.

Speaking of which, the two of them also endured a lot of pressure when they joined the sect, but Wu Meng was fine. Although his father was warned by the family, he didn't take it seriously at all and did not put any pressure on his son. After learning that Wu Meng was a disciple, he was very happy and had people prepare generous gifts and send them to the academy.

As for Wu Meng himself, he looked completely unconcerned and did not pay any attention to the explicit or implicit warnings.

In contrast, the situation faced by Sun Xun was completely different. The Sun family was also a large family, and they were not willing to make too many concessions compared to the Yuan family. Moreover, when they separated Jiangnan, their management was deeply rooted in the times. Before the Jiangbei family moved south, it was He was one of the most powerful nobles in the south of the Yangtze River. Even though he was later suppressed by the nobles in the north of the Yangtze River, he was still a hundred-footed insect without any signs of decline. He claimed to be the leader of the Jiangnan aristocratic family.

As a leader, it is natural to lead by example, so after many aristocratic families expressed their opinions, they were determined to compete for dominance. The first step was to undermine Qiu Yan, cut off contacts, and let the disciples who followed Qiu Yan go home, which was also the topic. meaning.

But under such a situation, Sun Xun did not obey his words. Instead, he withstood the pressure and officially became Qiu Yan's apprentice together with Wu Meng.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Although Wu Meng still dislikes people from aristocratic families like Sun Xun, he has to admire his determination and the relationship between the two has eased.

But this naturally angered the Sun family. I heard that Sun Xun's parents and relatives at home were implicated because of this, and they repeatedly sent letters home to reprimand him.

"This is what happened. My master and mistress have now been demoted to Lingnan, and the ancestral land at home has also been lost. Several of your brothers are complaining about you."

Reading the family letters and listening to the words of Sun Sui, who had grown up with him since childhood, Sun Xun looked gloomy and couldn't help but sigh.

"Because of me, my family suffered this disaster, which is really uneasy."

Sun Sui comforted him and said, "My master, my mistress, and the clan leader all know what you are thinking about, sir. Especially the ever-changing prodigy in the clan, who made it even clearer. The only person in the Sun family who understands is the young master. It's just that everyone has said so." , unable to block it, the clan leader had to make a statement, but despite the disparagement, there is no shortage of daily necessities, and the servants in the mansion are trustworthy and will not use slaves to deceive the master. "

Sun Xun took a deep breath, cheered up again, and said: "Even so, I also feel guilty. It's just that the family seems to be powerful now, but I walked with my master all the way, and I know that he is a human being and will never There is no point in targeting it. Since you take action, you must have a chance of winning. You can't take it lightly. If the family collapses, my Sun family's thousands of years of accumulation will most likely be destroyed in one day. If you leave me alone, you can protect your future, even if you die! "

"Young Master, please don't mention the word death..." Sun Sui comforted him, and then asked, "I wonder what Marquis Ding is planning now. Is there any news, Young Master?"

Sun Xun adjusted his mood and replied: "My master's plan will not be disclosed easily, but I only know now that the master's target is not only the aristocratic family, but also the Taoist sects in the world. In three days, Zhixing Academy will Build a high tower, called the Tiantian Tower, to observe the sky. At the same time, we will inform the world and invite schools from all over the world to gather together on that day to discuss the Tao!"

Sun Sui became puzzled: "Now all the schools in the world have received warnings from the Family Alliance, telling them not to join any school of thought advocated by Ding Guohou, otherwise they will be in trouble with the family, and if they catch one, they will suppress the other. , At this time, if Dingguo Hou makes a high-profile announcement, his prestige will plummet if there are no crowds at the door. "

"How this matter will turn out depends on the follow-up development." Sun Xun was also puzzled, but he was thinking about how to break the predicament. "I believe that the teacher will not make a decision easily if he is not sure. The masters were all arrested. It was at the cusp of the storm, and a new emperor was about to ascend the throne. The blood in the sky has not faded. Maybe this discussion has something to do with it." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated. quick!
