You Mingyuan looked at You Yuanfeng, there were some things he wanted to ask, but it was not easy to ask.

You Yuanfeng glanced at him and said lightly: "If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

You Mingyuan nodded, and said softly: "Second uncle, the marriage between Min'er and Li Xun, at first I was very disapproves, and the vast majority of people in the clan were also against their marriage, it was your old man's word, saying that Li Xun's future is worth investing, and your old wisdom and vision are not comparable to few people, so although I don't approve of it in my heart, I still follow your intentions, second uncle." ”

You Yuanfeng said: "What is our relationship with Li Xun? ”

You Mingyuan said without thinking: "Li Xun is my son-in-law, of course he is his own person, his life and death success or failure has been connected with our You clan, now is the most critical moment, we must not have a gap in our hearts, give others a chance to take advantage of." ”

"It's a shame that you've been the patriarch for so many years."

"What does the second uncle mean by this? The nephew didn't understand. ”

You Mingyuan was scolded by You Yuanfeng, and he was stunned, and he didn't understand.

You Yuanfeng sneered: "The combination of You Min and Li Xun does not mean that our You family will fully support the crown prince Zhao Xun, no matter whether Li Xun and You Min are together or not, the established policy of our You family has already been determined, and it will not be changed because of anything or anyone." ”

The Jin Dynasty has been inherited so far, has been more than 500 years, to now, since the beginning of the Jin Dynasty since the founding of the Jin Dynasty has existed in the meritorious family gate valve, there are very few, these families, the reason why they can be passed down for hundreds of years, even longer than the Jin Dynasty, the fundamental reason is that these families will never participate in the battle for the throne, the rise of any family power, often rely on talents, is the family ruling heritage, any new emperor to succeed to the throne, he wants to consolidate the imperial power, stable governance of the world, are needed a large number of talents, and the most talents, It is often those family valves that have a long heritage, so the emperor wants to use people, to use talents, there is no way to get around the family door valve, of course, the emperor can also discover talents through the imperial examination, but the rise of any talent, several generations of officials, often produce a new family door valve, the Jin Dynasty inherited dozens of generations of emperors, has always wanted to solve this problem, and has also achieved some results during the period, but on the whole, the state and bureaucratic system of the Jin Dynasty is still in the hands of those family valves.

Those who choose to put the fate of the entire family on one person, in fact, is equivalent to gambling and betting, bet right, naturally can obtain huge political benefits, but if the bet is wrong, it will also bring devastating disasters to the whole family, like such a family, most of them have disappeared in the long river of history.

For example, the current Yang family, they are betting all the fate of the family on Zhao Zhi's dynasty, and there are only two results in the end of the big gamble, either heaven or hell.

Yang Daosi once wanted to change and save the family, and he was already on the verge of success, but unfortunately, a fire destroyed everything.

The You clan has been inherited for hundreds of years, has experienced many ups and downs, decay, and glory, but has never had the worry of extinction, because the You clan has a principle and has never participated in the struggle for the throne.

Listening to You Yuanfeng's words, You Mingyuan was silent, he already understood, You Yuanfeng meant that Li Xun was Li Xun, and Zhao Xun was Zhao Xun, even if You Min and Li Xun combined and became the aunt of the You family, the two sides had an extremely close relationship, but the You family still respected the crown prince Zhao Xun, and this principle would not change.

You Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "What's the point of doing this?" ”

You Yuanfeng said meaningfully: "Is it meaningful, I can't see it now." ”

Are there any doubts that you don't understand: "What does the second uncle mean?" ”

You Yuanfeng smiled: "Mingyuan, do you know who the old man admires the most in this life?" ”

"It should be the late right minister Yang Daohei."

You Yuanfeng sneered: "Yang Daosi is a character, without him, the Jin Dynasty would not have today's achievements, the self-cultivation of the Qi family is peaceful in the world, he has done it in self-cultivation, and he has also done it in the world, but the Qi family in the middle is doing too poorly, so the old man obeys him, but does not respect him." ”

You Mingyuan didn't expect You Yuanfeng to have such an evaluation of Yang Daosi, so he said again: "Since it is not Yang Daosi, it must be Liu Ji, the left minister." ”

You Yuanfeng said lightly: "It's still the same sentence, the self-cultivation of the Qi family is peaceful in the world, the Qi family and the peaceful world Liu Jie have done it, but unfortunately in this self-cultivation, Liu Jie has done too much, he cherishes himself too much, and takes himself too seriously, so that even with the full support of the emperor, he still watched the Yang family grow step by step, and the old man dared to assert that once Liu Jie died, the Liu family may start to decline." ”

"Could it be Li Zhong?"

"Li Zhong's military exploits are powerful in the world, but in the final analysis, he is just a martial artist, and he can't affect the overall situation of the world after all."

You Yuanfeng laughed.

"My nephew doesn't know, and I ask my second uncle to say it clearly."

You Mingyuan had a wry smile on his face, Yang Daosi, Liu Wei, and Li Zhong were the most famous people in Zhao Zhi's dynasty, except for them, You Mingyuan really couldn't guess who else could make You Yuanfeng admire.

You Yuanfeng smiled: "It's none other than Hong Qian." ”

You Mingyuan was there.

To this day, the name Hongzhi is quite unfamiliar to many people.

In the thirteenth year of Guangyuan, Hong Zhi was seventy-one years old, with the post of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and entered the political affairs hall Xiangguo, but the time was not too long, to the fifteenth year of Guangyuan, the White Turban Army was pacified not long ago, Hong Zhi was on the book Zhao Zhi, on the grounds of old age, took the initiative to ask for Zhishi, Zhao Zhi did not do anything to retain, agreed to Hong Zhishi's request, and then, returned to his hometown less than a year, Hong Zhi died of illness.

Hong Zhi is a very low-key and cautious official, although he is nominally close to Liu Ji, he is regarded as a party of the Left Minister, and Zhao Zhi is also trying his best to match, therefore, the relationship between the two is very harmonious, and many people think that Hong Zhen is the core member of the Left Prime Minister's party.

You Mingyuan was in the center of the imperial court at the time, and he was the patriarch of the You family, so he knew this very clearly, Hong Zhen was by no means Liu Ji's person, whether the two were personal or political, they were actually quite estranged, and many major decisions, if Liu Ji and Yang Daosi had a dispute, Hong Ji had always held a neutral attitude.

And because Hong Zhi is too low-key and cautious as an official, even if he achieves a high position and power in the country, he is still cautious, and rarely speaks in the court, many people feel that Hong is too soft as an official, so that even if Hong Zhen has been a minister for a few years, his sense of presence above the court is very low, resulting in him becoming a scholar, and it will not take long for him to be completely forgotten by the vast majority of people.

But it is such a person, but it is said by You Yuanfeng that he is the most admired figure in his life, this feeling surpasses Yang Daosi, Liu Ji and Li Zhong, and even surpasses Zhao Zhi on the pilgrimage, which is simply incredible in You Mingyuan's opinion, and it is extremely difficult to understand.
