Wang Yan's house, which had been crowded with guests for several days, suddenly stopped today.
After dinner, his old wife Guo went to bed early, and Wang Yan and his family came to the study to continue talking.
"At this point, Situ's prestige has plummeted, and the situation has become somewhat uncontrollable." Wang Yan stroked his beard and said: "Shao Xun has always been unprofitable, so since he is willing to take such a risk to come to Luoyang,
To gain this reputation, you have a plan."
"Isn't this a good thing for me?" Wang Xuan asked with a smile: "The number of scholars who have come to visit these days is like crucian carp in the river, and everyone is looking for a way out. Of course Shao Xun can fight,
He is also famous, but the world's population, money, food, and talents are not in his hands. The Luoyang court will still need my grandfather to support him."
"It would be nice if it was that simple." Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Besides, Situ is not dead yet. If he is around for a day, some things will be postponed for a day."
Hearing what his father said, Wang Xuan hesitated.
Indeed, as long as Sima Yue was alive, the nearly eighty assistants in the shogunate would not be able to openly defect to others.
Behind them, there are dozens of aristocratic families.
These families can often lead to more noble families. They are powerful and their potential power cannot be underestimated.
In addition to the shogunate's assistants, Sima Yue also had two affiliated forces, namely Sima Mo, King of Nanyang in Guanzhong, and Sima Rui, King of Langya in Jiangdong.
Their back is also very important.
If my father wants to successfully take over this huge power, he will really need to go through a lot of trouble - or even be unable to accept it at all.
"Master, is it true that the Duke of Luyang County will not interfere in Luoyang's affairs?" Wang Xuan asked.
"That's not possible! It's just talk." Wang Yan chuckled and said, "At least, the Imperial Army wants to intervene."
"What a big ambition." Wang Xuan patted the table and said with unclear meaning.
"Isn't it normal to have a sharp weapon and a desire to kill? With a powerful soldier in hand, it's normal to be ambitious?" Wang Yan glanced at his son and said: "Don't think that others are going too far. Everything in the world is just about you taking the next step. I
Just take a step back, accommodate each other, and tolerate each other. Shao Xun can't control the court, so he naturally wants to capture the Forbidden Army. Furthermore, after experiencing the Xiongnu invasion, who do you think the Forbidden Army should be handed over to?"
"Unexpectedly, my grandpa is so optimistic about the Duke of Luyang County." Wang Xuan said in surprise.
"There may be other people in the world who are good at training and fighting, but I only recognize Shao Xun. If you don't use him, who will you use?" Wang Yan asked rhetorically.
Wang Xuan cannot be right.
Luoyang was besieged once. On the surface, my father seemed fine, but in his heart, he must have been greatly affected.
No matter how good you are at playing power, can you withstand the Huns' butcher's knife for a moment or three?
The world has changed. If the Luoyang court does not fall, people like Shao Xun are indispensable.
He is already qualified to ask the Gonggun princes to give him benefits in order to curry favor with him.
In other words, Shao Xun is already qualified to enter the core circle of power, instead of being able to exert influence indirectly through others as before.
"Grandpa, can Shao Xun control the Forbidden Army?" Wang Huifeng interjected: "The left guard is fine, he should be familiar with it. The right guard is a bit troublesome. As for the left army and the right army, they have little to do with him, it doesn't matter.
Is that simple?"
"It's not like he wants everyone." Wang Yan said: "Recruiting unreliable troops to the tent is asking for trouble. Furthermore, he has always been measured and will not go it alone. He will always share some benefits with others.
.”
Wang Huifeng nodded.
Wang Yan glanced at his daughter, feeling slightly regretful.
If Shao Xun marries his own daughter, they will cooperate, and he will feel more at ease.
Then he smiled to himself again.
Before the Xiongnu besieged the city, how could he be willing to give up his face and seriously think about such a thing? Even if he occasionally thought about it, he would soon be extinguished.
Langya Wang family cannot afford to lose this person.
But now? It doesn’t seem so hard to accept...
People are just cheap.
"Let's find a way to bring Chu Zhong back." Wang Yan calmed down and said: "King Langya has initially established a foothold, and there is no need for Chu Zhong to stay in Yangzhou to help. The Forbidden Army needs him even more."
When he said this, Wang Yan felt slightly helpless.
How sad that such a large Langya Wang family can only rely on Chu Zhong to control the army!
But he may not be able to manage it well, so this matter—sigh.
Wang Xuan and his father had the same idea.
The Wang family wants to get involved in the Forbidden Army, but they can only rely on Uncle Chu Zhong, which is very speechless.
Wang Huifeng frowned and remained silent.
Only Wang Jingfeng laughed "ha".
Seeing the three of them looking at her, they said with some embarrassment: "Don't look at me. Uncle Ah Hei has been practicing for two years. He should have mastered the art of war and may be able to command the imperial army."
The three of them were still looking at her.
Wang Jingfeng couldn't bear it anymore and said with a sad face, "You won't give me to Shao Xun, will you?"
Wang Xuan almost laughed out loud. What is the eldest sister thinking about every day?
Wang Huifeng was a little helpless.
Another impulse surged in Wang Yan's heart.
"In the past, Qin Yilu served as Lu Bu's envoy to Yuan Shu, and Shu's wife was a daughter of the Han clan. His wife, the Du family, left Pi behind." Wang Yan said suddenly.
"Xu Ping of the Later Han Dynasty married two women, and the two wives coexisted."
"Zheng Ziqun married Chen Sikong's younger sister, but after Lu Bu's rebellion, they no longer knew each other's lives. He even married the daughter of the Cai family in his hometown. Xuzhou was pacified, and the Chen family was able to return, so the two concubines coexisted."
"Cheng Liang, the governor of Anfeng, had a wife first, and then he married another, and then he had two legitimate children."
"Jia Gonglu has two wives on his left and right."
Wang Jingfeng was startled and said in a trembling voice: "Master, what are you talking about?"
Wang Huifeng also frowned.
Wang Xuanze thought carefully and said: "Master, there are indeed many people who marry two wives, and the two wives are the same as the first wife since the end of the Han Dynasty, and even more in the dynasty. However, there are reasons for many things. For example, in the past, Wei Zhengdong Changshi
Wu Gang fled to Wu, but his wife stayed in China and married him in the land of Wu. Later Wu Gang returned with his second wife and had children, and the two wives lived together. However, if he marries two wives for no reason, he may cause criticism."
Wang Yan was a little stunned.
The old wall lamp was indeed impulsive, but luckily he told the story in front of his family and didn't spread it.
Otherwise, not only will the Wang family be embarrassed, but the Yu family will also be offended.
"Grandpa, did you just now-" Wang Jingfeng blinked and said aggrievedly: "Even if you want to do this, can you ask Shao Xun to break off the engagement with the Yu family first, and then marry me? What about two wives merging legitimate children, tell me
It’s hard to hear.”
Wang Yan was a little embarrassed by what his eldest daughter said, and scolded: "Idiot, the Duke of Luyang County is interested in Hui Feng, not you."
Wang Huifeng was a little unhappy and his face was a little red.
It is true that one woman cannot have two husbands, and she does not plan to marry again. But when she heard that the Duke of Luyang County actually looked down on her fairy-like sister and fell in love with her, she felt a strange emotion in her heart. She couldn't help but feel
We have to investigate carefully, why is he like this? What does he like about himself?
"The Duke of Luyang County has a sharp eye, and he can see through the essence of the gold and jade in the fish, haha." Wang Xuan actually laughed.
Wang Jingfeng was a little angry and didn't want to speak anymore.
There is no good person in the family!
My mother thought she ate too much.
My father wanted to send him out to befriend a soldier.
The elder brother rejoiced in his misfortune.
My sister didn't speak for me either.
It's too difficult.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, alas." Wang Yan sat down melancholy and laughed at himself: "Now that I'm like this, you should know how popular Luyang County Duke is in Beijing, right? This man can not only fight, but also know how to fight.
He can also create momentum and win people's hearts, which is not easy."
"This must be taught by Lu Zhi and Lu Zidao," Wang Xuan judged.
"It's impossible for Lu Zidao to take care of everything." Wang Yan said: "I have been dealing with Shao Xun for a long time. This man has some tricks. It's hard to say where he will go in the future."
"Grandpa, there is something I don't know-" Wang Xuan said hesitantly.
"Let's talk." Wang Yan waved his hand and said.
"Then I'll say it." Wang Xuan laughed playfully and said, "Can I consider going south to build Ye again..."
"Don't mention this matter again." Wang Yan stretched out his hand to stop his son's words and said: "Things in China are not unavoidable. How can we escape from Wu Di? Do you still have any ambition? If you encounter difficulties, just think about it.
If you run away, I can be sure that if you go to Jianye, you won't end up well."
"You really have confidence in the Duke of Luyang County." Wang Xuan said bitterly.
Wang Yan smiled and didn't want to say more.
Everyone always has something they insist on.
After experiencing the siege of the city by the Huns, he became a little awakened.
Although he is far inferior to Gu Ren, but if he works with all his heart, does not advocate vanity, and works hard to bring peace to the world, he may not be able to reverse the situation bit by bit.
Okay, maybe it's a little late now, but he still wants to give it a try.
In this life, he has done too many ridiculous things and has been obsessed with power for too long.
When he saw Shao Xun cutting through the waves at the top of Ximing Tower, he felt that he had gone too far with following the crowd.
For most of his life, he has not contributed as much as a newly-minted soldier. How can he be embarrassed?
Shao Xun has made it clear to him that the Luoyang court still needs him to be at the helm, so he can let go and do his best to help the world, and he will be his backing.
If the troubled times are cleared up in the future and the world is cleared up, it may not be able to shine in the annals of history and be admired by future generations.
Wang Yan knew that Shao Xun was telling the truth.
He is also a little eager to give it a try now.
Of course people have selfish motives, and it is not shameful to have selfish motives, but you must control it carefully and don't ruin the meal.
The Sima clan king almost destroyed the Jin Dynasty, and now he needs to repair it.
"Tomorrow you will come with me to the palace to meet the emperor." Wang Yan looked at his son and said, "The situation has changed drastically. The emperor may have another idea."
"Okay." Wang Xuan agreed.
