At this time, the potter didn't know that his name as a prince of peace had been completely killed on the top of his head in the name of an edict by Dong Zhuo with ulterior motives in Chang'an.

If you know the name of "Prince Taiping", he will become his own golden sign in the world, and the potter doesn't know if he will faint and vomit blood.

But that's a story for the potter.

The Yuedan review has come out, even though the potter doesn't like Xu Jing's paintings, but think about it, after all, people are also sincere, and they are embarrassed to kick their noses in the face, and some people want to come or not.

"Big brother!"

Sima Yi jumped up and down to Sima Lang, who was watching the soldiers carrying the goods, and said happily: "Big brother, it turns out that you know the prince of Taiping, why don't you tell me!" ”

Sima Lang was a little impatient, frowned and said, "What is Prince Taiping?" ”

The pottery merchant who followed Sima Yi couldn't help but stiffen when he heard this.

After being silent for a long time, the potter said to Sima Lang depressedly: "That thing is Tao." ”

Sima Lang was embarrassed all of a sudden.

Xiao Zhengtai Sima Yi handed the slip with the Yuedan comment to Sima Lang with a playful face, and Sima Lang slowly unfolded it and looked at it at a glance.

Half an hour later.

"Tao Gongzi, look at this trouble, Lang has been really busy recently, and he doesn't even have time to read the latest Yuedan review, so there is such a big misunderstanding - Lang, embarrassingly tight."

Tao Shang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Sima doesn't have to be polite, if it weren't for Brother Ling, it would be difficult for Shang to know the content of the Yuedan review for a while, and the person who should be ashamed is Tao." ”

The two were humble with each other for a while, one said ashamed, the other said embarrassed, and they were extremely polite to each other in their words, but it was Xiao Sima Yi, who looked left and right for a while, and kept a cute smile on his face.

The potter and Sima Lang were polite to each other for a while, and the potter suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Sima Yi, and a thought came to his heart.

"Brother Sima, I don't know if I can take a step to speak?" The potter stretched out his hand and motioned for Sima Lang to talk with him to the corner of the courtyard alone.

Although Sima Lang didn't understand what the potter's reputation was, he still had to give this face, so he walked with the potter to a corner of the courtyard.

"Brother Sima, I met Brother Ling just now, Tao doesn't know why, I feel quite close to this child...... In this way, there is a reluctant invitation, but I don't know if Brother Sima can give Tao this face. ”

Seeing that the pottery merchant was so polite, Sima Lang couldn't help but say curiously: "What is the important matter of Tao Gongzi?" Let's put it bluntly. ”

Tao Shang pondered his words for a while, and then said slowly: "Brother Sima moved away from Wen County this time to go to Liyang, in the final analysis, it is just to avoid the disaster of war, but according to the following opinion, even if you go to Liyang, you may not be able to get the most satisfactory result." ”

Sima Lang frowned when he heard this, and looked at the pottery merchant with curiosity: "Please also ask Tao Gongzi to tell the meaning of his words." ”

Tao Shang cleared his throat and said: "The reason why Brother Sima left Hanoi is because of the geographical problems in Hanoi, this is the key point between Sanguan and Beidi, and now the princes of Kwantung are not on good terms with Dong Zhuo, and the impact on Hanoi will inevitably be frequent, but Brother Sima has thought about it, will Liyang be safe?" ”

Sima Lang's face was very calm, and said: "Liyang is connected to the Yellow River, connecting the south and Hebei of the river, it is a place where soldiers have fought since ancient times, if there is a war between the north and the south, it is not an ideal place to live, I understand, but after all, there is an in-law Zhao Weisun there, how much can he take care of us." ”

The potter's expression was very sincere: "Don't hide it from Brother Sima, Liyang is located in the territory of the Yuan family, and now Yuan Shao has taken Jizhou from Han Fu, and Han Fu let Jizhou come south because he is afraid of Gongsun Zhan, how can he get along with Gongsun Zhan with the authority of the Yuan Alliance?" And Gongsun Zhan is a hero in the north, and even Shangguan Liu Yu is also disrespectful on weekdays, and Tian Kai and Kong Rong in Qingzhou are very close to Gongsun Zan, and their place of governance is not far from Liyang. ”

When he said this, Sima Lang's face had already begun to turn blue.

The potter continued: "I think that even if your Sima family moves to Liyang, they may not be able to live a peaceful life. ”

Sima Lang knew in his heart that what the potter said was quite reasonable, but the problem was ......

"Tao Gongzi, if you don't go to Liyang, Lang really can't figure out where my Sima clan should move for a while."

The potter smiled and said, "Brother Sima, did you want to go to Xuzhou?" ”

"Xuzhou?" Sima Lang seemed to be taken aback when he heard this, and he was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "What does Tao Gongzi mean?" Is it for me to send my Sima clan to your Tao clan's territory? ”

The potter nodded, and said: "Yes, although Xuzhou was also harassed by the Yellow Turbans back then, but now it has been settled, the Yellow Turbans that used to make trouble in Xuzhou have all moved to Qingzhou, and Xuzhou is far away from right and wrong, especially far from Guanzhong and Dong Zhuo, Xuzhou is Tiankai in Qingzhou in the north, Yangzhou counties in the south, and Liu Dai and others in Yanzhou in the northwest, all have a good relationship with my Tao family." Only Yuzhou and Jianghuai in the southwest were targeted by Yuan Shu, but among the states and counties today, they are relatively stable. ”

Sima Lang didn't say anything when he heard this, he knew that the potter was somewhat exaggerated.

Xuzhou is located in the east of the Central Plains, whether it is good or not, whether it is bad or not, but when it comes to complexity, it is indeed much better than Hebei at the moment.

It's just Tao Qian, Sima Lang is not very optimistic about him.

But if you think about it carefully, even though Tao Qian is average, this potter doesn't feel like a fuel-efficient lamp.

And this time, Xu Zi will give him such a high evaluation, and it is not a good thing to rely on to observe what this person has done.

Seeing Sima Lang's hesitation, the potter gave him another pair of fierce medicine.

"Brother Sima, Wang Yun will also move to Xuzhou with me to live in peace."

Sima Lang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at the potter with deep meaning.

But seeing that the potter also looked at him with a smile, the gaze in the eyes of the two aroused a string of sparks in the air that were not intense, but meaningful.

Taiyuan Wang is the first gate valve in the state, and Wang Yun is the third prince of the court, although he went to Xuzhou alone, but his political influence is quite large.

Cao Cao once told the potters that Wang Yun entered Xuzhou, and asked him to remember that strong guests do not oppress the lord.

This so-called "strong guest" does not refer to Wang Yunhui's snatching of Tao Qian's power, but refers to the balance of the local scholars in Xuzhou.

Wang Yun, as an old minister of the minister, has also experienced the struggle for party power, and occupies a heavier position in the upper party clan, once the Tao family welcomes Wang Yun over, the weight of the local family in Xuzhou in the state will inevitably change because of the foreign scholars.

In fact, the pottery merchants have also seriously considered this problem, the water can carry the boat can also overturn the boat, although the Tao family also belongs to the scholar family, but the four local families in Xuzhou have a lot of authority, if Wang Yun can lead the foreign scholars into Xuzhou, the Tao family mediates, maybe the redistribution and consolidation of power or have a miraculous effect.

You don't see that after Cao Cao experienced the rebellion of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, he reused the Yingchuan clan to balance the power of the local clan in Yanzhou.

In the eyes of the potters, in the context of this great era, it is unrealistic to completely eliminate the political influence of the family.

This is not a problem that can be solved in one or two generations.

In the history of Cao Wei, Emperor Wu Cao Cao was the vanguard of suppressing the scholars, but during Cao Cao's reign, the relationship between Cao Wei and the world's wang clans was tense because of his excessive means of eliminating the influence of the family.

If it doesn't explode in silence, it perishes in silence, and it is obvious that the group of scholars suppressed by Cao Cao did not perish, but broke out violently after Cao Cao's death.

Emperor Wen Cao Pi in order to represent the Han Dynasty, and the scholar group was re-wooed, and respected to a new height, because the first two generations of the Cao family were too strong, so that the relationship between the Cao Wei regime and the world Shi clan has been in a tense state, coupled with Shu Wu's repeated offenses, like a catalyst forced Cao Wei to decentralize the power of the outside world, and finally let the Sima clan take advantage of the chaos to win most of the scholar resources, Cao Wei made a wedding dress for others.

This kind of thing was not only in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but also in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and Li Shimin couldn't completely handle it.

What has changed during this period is nothing more than the alternation of authority and political balance. Even in later generations, the so-called nobles existed all over the world, but in a different way.

Where there are people, there is class and struggle, and this is a very normal social phenomenon that cannot be eliminated, but can only be adapted and balanced with the development of the times.

And Sima Lang heard that Wang Yun would also go to live in Xuzhou, and he began to think about it.

There is no doubt that the influence of the Taiyuan Wang clan in the land of the three rivers is much greater than that of the Sima clan, the Wang family and the Sima clan both belong to the Bingzhou family, if Wang Yun also goes to Xuzhou, there is always a good response, follow the Wang clan boss who is also the boundary of the three rivers in the same place, and the relationship between the same and the state gate lord, Wang Yun will also strive for some good resources for the Sima family. At least it's much easier than relying on Sima's name to start a business in Liyang.

And Sima Lang is not blind, Wang Yun's bewitching daughter and the pottery merchant are eyebrows, and he can see some clues.

Thinking of this, Sima Lang was moved.

"Master Tao, let Lang go back on this matter and discuss it with the elders of the clan...... How is it? ”

The potter also knew that the stakes were high, so it was not good to urge him too much.

Whether this matter is successful or not is still between the two theories, and it is difficult for the potters to infer what kind of impact the Shi clan headed by Wang Yun will have on the local Shi clan if they move to Xuzhou.

But there are some things that have to be tried in the end, and the reduction of power must be carried out in a chaotic situation.

Xuzhou's current stable pattern of scholars is not suitable for potters.

Sima Lang was hesitating and speculating, why not the potter?

"The trouble is big, Brother Sima should really think about it carefully, Tao will leave today, and after I solve the matter of the Southern Xiongnu, I will come to consult Brother Sima again, presumably at that time, Brother Sima should have a decision in his heart."

Sima Lang bowed slightly to the pottery merchant and said, "Okay, I will definitely give Tao Gongzi a satisfactory answer when the time comes." ”

The potter gossiped with Sima Lang for a while, and when Sima's luggage was loaded, he said goodbye to Sima Lang.

Sima Lang personally sent the potter and Han Hao out of the house, and when he left, the potter also greeted Xiao Zhengtai Sima Yi cordially.

Looking at the figures of the potter and the others slowly disappearing, Sima Lang suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

After pondering carefully, he asked Sima Yi, "Second brother, how did you meet those two people?" ”

Sima Yi blinked cutely: "In the house!" In the study of the west courtyard of the house. ”

Sima Lang frowned, turned around and ran to the study in the west courtyard.

After entering the study, Sima Lang slipped back and forth left and right, and after smoothing out the furnishings in the room one by one, he muttered to himself in confusion.

"Strange, my mud inkstone...... Why can't I find it? ”
