Changsun Wuji stared at Dugu Lan with gloomy eyes and remained silent.
Although losing the right to a military trial made him sad, the most important thing was that he had not yet figured out what Dugu Lan was thinking. It was understandable that he did not want to have a more intense conflict with Fang Jun, but if Dugu Lan felt different,
He has other thoughts on the alliance of the Guanlong nobles. That is a big deal.
The Dugu family is not the most powerful among Guanlong, but its status is extremely special.
As a relative of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, the Dugu family has an unparalleled right to speak. It can be said that the Dugu family is the "spiritual leader" of the Guanlong nobles. The Dugu family was involved in the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Dugu family was still there in the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty and the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.
factors...
It can be said that if there were no Dugu clan, the Guanlong Group would not necessarily replace the Northern Zhou Dynasty with the Sui Dynasty, nor would it necessarily fully support the Tang Dynasty when the Sui Dynasty was about to fall.
It is such a backbone family, and once dissent arises, the blow to the Guanlong Group will be fatal.
Changsun Wuji thought about it for a long time and said slowly, "My son is going to Shaanzhou to take office. It is just a temporary trade-off. The foundation of Guanlong is still in the army. It is just that there are many constraints at the moment. It is not easy to arrange it for a while. I still hope that I will be able to do it."
Lord, please be considerate."
It was actually a bit frustrating to say this.
Although today's Guanlong nobles claim to still have their roots in the military, their influence in the military has already dropped to an unprecedented low.
However, any official position above the rank of lieutenant cannot be decided with just one word. It requires multiple negotiations and repeated weighings before any plans can be made.
Even the civil service he obtained for Duguhong yesterday was obtained by Changsun Wuji from Li Daozong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, relying on his face...
But this should not be said openly, otherwise it would strengthen the Dugu family's determination to break away from the Guanlong nobles and establish their own family.
Dugu Lan covered his waist with one hand, waved his other hand, and exclaimed, "What did Duke Zhao say? Young people, a sudden high position may not be a good thing. First, lay a solid foundation at the lower level, and then seek to rise step by step. This
This is the safest way to get promoted. Otherwise, if you suddenly reach a high position, you will inevitably become impetuous, and if your morals are not matched, there will be disaster, which may actually harm you."
Changsun Wuji sneered, why didn't you say something like this when you shamelessly asked for Sima of the Hanhai Protectorate?
"In short, it is better for the old prince not to mention it again in the future. The younger generations of the Guanlong family still need your guidance, care, guidance and support. We have racked our brains and worked out all the mechanisms. In the final analysis, it is still not enough.
Is it for those incompetent younger generations? Only by working together can we make the family prosperous from generation to generation. If anyone rebels and harms everyone's future, we should also work together to punish him. "
Dugu Lan stroked his beard and smiled, feeling annoyed in his heart.
Is this the beginning of blatant threats and intimidation?
I’m so scared!
He replied without being arrogant or arrogant, "If we unite, we will be strong; if we divide, we will be weak. Everyone knows this. However, people have their own ambitions. Our families have been in alliance for dozens of hundreds of years, and it is inevitable that there will be some unreasonable barriers during this period. Even if there are people who have different personalities, they will not agree with each other."
There is no need to break up for the sake of conspiracy, so that we can get together and break up easily."
Changsun Wuji's eyes narrowed and he looked at Dugu Lan. Does this old thief really have the idea of establishing his own business?
He was surprised, but he heard Dugu Lan say again, "But what Mr. Zhao Guo said is reasonable. The reason why our families are where they are today is precisely because we are strong together and help each other. If any family wants to withdraw halfway, it will inevitably shake the alliance."
The foundation is all due to changes in people's minds. Maybe the entire alliance will fall apart, so we should be careful and guard against it. If anyone really has such thoughts, they should get rid of them in time."
However, Changsun Wuji would not conclude that the Dugu family had no intention of establishing their own family and breaking away from the group just because of his words.
He stood up and said, "What the old prince said is true. If any family thinks that they want to damage the interests of the group by climbing on a high branch and build a hall, my eldest son, Sun Wuji, will be the first to spare them! It was rainy, wet and windy last night, and the old prince was working everywhere.
I feel uneasy about running around, so the old prince might as well rest at home for a few more days before going to Weiwei Temple for duty. I still have important matters in my house, so I will leave first."
Dugu Lan quickly stood up to see him off.
But there is slander in my heart. Is it worth it?
Well worth the damn effort!
Nowadays, Weiwei Temple has lost even the right to conduct military trials. Do the people from the Yamen spend all their time organizing support for His Majesty?
This yamen, which used to be prosperous in the past, may gradually decline from now on.
Just like the entire Guanlong Group...
For a long time, the nobles of Guanlong have been dormant in the land of Guanzhong like a giant. They turned their hands to make clouds and rain. They raised and destroyed a country as if they were trivial. They even raised and destroyed emperors.
Once upon a time, every dynasty that established its capital here represented their will.
However, this time, Chang Sun Guang and others murdered Pao Ze, pretended to take military merit, and were executed in Chang'an City, which caused an uproar.
Sun Guang, a mere eldest son, was naturally not a prominent figure, so he would be killed if he was killed. However, the game behind this incident made many people see something different from the past.
Weiwei Temple, which has always been regarded as the "headquarters" of the Guanlong nobles, actually handed over the power of military trial to the Ministry of War?!
Everyone knows that the power of military justice means absolute control over the army. Without this power, the Guanlong nobles' control over the army will fall to an unprecedented low. How can they be willing to do so?
What followed was naturally the envy of the Ministry of War. The younger generation of generals represented by Fang Jun finally officially became the generals. They no longer became the vassals of so and so as in the past, but truly set up their own banner and established their own banner in the war.
It is unique among the armies that are intertwined with forces from all sides!
The meaning of this is by no means as simple as the decline of one force and the rise of another.
Everyone has been suppressed by the Guanlong nobles for too long. Suddenly one day, this behemoth finally showed his exhausted posture and no longer suppressed them as powerfully as before. Such as the Jiangnan nobles and the Shandong aristocratic families were suffering under the pressure.
As far as the supporting force is concerned, it is no better than the clouds opening and the moon shining brightly.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
The more severe the oppression, the more intense the resistance.
For a time, those forces that had "suffered from the Long nobility for a long time" rebelled one after another, intending to overturn this mountain that was pressing on everyone in one fell swoop. Six departments of science and education, and censors and officials were mobilized, and impeachment memorials were written like snowflakes.
Fly into Tai Chi Palace.
It is said that the chamberlain of Shenlong Palace cleans out the memorials after His Majesty the Emperor has previewed them every day, and wants to destroy three large carriages...
On the top of the Western Mountain, there is a pavilion.
Standing in the pavilion and looking far into the distance, you can see the vast Kunming Pool at the foot of the mountain nearby, and the majestic Chang'an City in the distance.
The autumn wind was getting colder, Xiao Yu tightened his tight robe, turned back to the pavilion and sat down. When he saw Kong Yingda concentrating on boiling water and making tea, he smiled and said, "Now Mr. Chongyuan is at home, holding a book in his hands every day.
Drinking tea is really the envy of our generation."
Kong Yingda opened a jar, took some tea leaves with a teaspoon and put it in the teapot. He lifted the kettle and poured boiling water into it. While washing the tea and cups, he laughed at himself, "Where does the leisure come from? If you really have leisure, you should leave the center of power.
Returning to his hometown, teaching and educating talents is the happiest thing in his life. But now he still doesn't want to go there, isn't it just to fight for a position of power center for his children and grandchildren? The rest of his life is mediocre, and he will never be able to live the life he really wants.
days."
The autumn wind is gradually rising, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.
He poured the green tea soup into the tea cup, raised his hand to signal Xiao Yu to drink it, then took a sip of the tea cup, closed his eyes slightly, tasted it, nodded and praised, "This comes from Min
It is said that the Tieguanyin tea is also made by Fang Erlang. The method of making tea is completely different from before, but it has a unique flavor and the drink is more mellow. Compared with Longjing tea, it is not far behind. "
Xiao Yu sat opposite Kong Yingda. Wen Yan also took a sip of tea. After a while, he put the tea under his eyes and praised, "This Fang Erlang always seems to have absurd and unreasonable behavior, but he always gets unexpected surprises. It's said that he did it unintentionally."
Well, I obviously have no plans left, but if I say I make a decision before I act, it always seems too rash... Tsk, tsk, what a genius."
What this meant was more than just praising Fang Jun for his skill in making tea.
Kong Yingda naturally understood, smiled slightly, opened his eyes and looked at the vast Kunming Pool at the foot of the mountain, and the academy building hidden among the trees on the hillside, chuckled, and said, "But isn't this the situation we have been dreaming about day and night?
