An Lu, the annex of the Duke of Yiguo, Yu Wenwen was reading Yang Ji's letter, and the other party mentioned one thing in the letter, that is, a scholar named Fang Yanqian in Shandong came to Xiyang with his nearly eight-year-old son Fang Qiao to discuss knowledge with his old friend Liu Zhuo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fang Yanqian, a descendant of the Fang clan of Qinghe, is a member of the Shandong Shi clan, of course, the Shandong mentioned here is not the Shandong Province of later generations, and now it is a geographical term that refers to the east of Taihang Mountain.

The reason why Yang Ji specifically mentioned his son Fang Qiao was because this boy would have a table in the future: Xuan Ling, that is, Fang Xuan Ling, a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty in history and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

After the establishment of Li Tang, Fang Xuanling was one of the important strategists of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and was a generation of virtuous ministers.

Such a historical celebrity, who is still a child, followed his father to Xiyang to live temporarily, does he want to take the opportunity to envelop and cultivate from an early age, so that Fang Xuanling can help him in the future?

That's impossible.

It's not that Yuwen is cold, it's not that he is empty-sighted, but it's unrealistic, the reason is very simple, he can't let Fang Yanqian use it for himself, so it's impossible to keep Fang Xuanling with him.

Not to mention that he is limited by his current status, even his father Yu Wenliang will not be able to keep Fang Yanqian, and even Prime Minister Wei Chi Yuan wants to let Fang Yanqian use it for his own use.

Is Fang Yanqian disdainful of being an official? No, the Tao is different, and it is not the same thing.

This question is both complicated and simple, in short, it is the contradiction between the Shandong forces and the Guanlong forces, and this contradiction has traversed the Sui and Tang dynasties in history, stirring up countless bloody storms.

Shandong forces, at this time can be called the Shandong Shi group, at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there is another member, called Shandong Haojie, for the Shandong Shi clan, Haojie.

And the Guanlong forces, which are what later generations called the Guanlong aristocratic group, have deep contradictions between the two, and it is more difficult to solve them in the short term than to ascend to the sky.

Shandong Shi clan is a fixed concept after the Wei and Jin dynasties, especially after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty reformed the family name, which refers to the gate lord clan in the vast area east of Taihang Mountain, mainly including Li, Cui, Lu, Zheng, Wang five surnames.

They are all big families that have lasted for hundreds of years, and they are self-proclaimed scholarly families, and they don't look down on the Shu clan, let alone vulgar warriors, especially the Guanlong aristocratic group that has sprung up in recent decades.

What is the Guanlong aristocratic group?

The rebellion of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, a bloody storm emerged countless military strongmen, one of whom was named Yuwentai, led the Wuchuan soldiers into the Guanzhong, combined with Guan Longhao right, established the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was a Guanlong aristocratic group based on military ability.

Their identity is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Shandong scholars, and they started by fighting and killing, which makes the Shandong scholars look down on them, because martial artists mean disaster for them.

Everything has to be traced back to the time when the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, when Emperor Xiaowen reformed and integrated with the Central Plains scholars, one of the serious consequences was the sharp decline in the status of the border army.

The six border towns in the north of the Wei State were used to defend the imperial court against the creeping (Rouran) army on the grassland, and after the reform, the soldiers on the border were cut off from the way of ascent.

Who broke it? Shandong scholars, according to the Wei and Jin Dynasty's nine-grade Zhongzheng system, they are born noble, as well as the dignitaries of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and their children can easily become big officials.

Those soldiers in the border towns who defended in the bitter cold land could have relied on military merits to advance to the capital to become big officials, but as a result, their share was occupied, and from then on, they could only drink the northwest wind in the six towns for their children and grandchildren.

Contradictions accumulated, and a rebellion broke out, destroying the foundations of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The imperial army was suppressed everywhere, military strongmen continued to emerge, and Er Zhurong, a powerful minister who started with military merits, launched a massacre against the imperial family and hundreds of officials and ministers, which was the change in Heyin.

Most of the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty was slaughtered, and the children of the Shandong Shi clan, who were officials in the court, suffered heavy casualties, and since then they have been branded with the memory of fear of the warriors.

Later, the confrontation between the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wei Dynasty was the powerful minister Gao Huan had the final say, and his starting team was the Beizhen soldiers, who were the rebels or official soldiers during the Six Towns Rebellion, and these nobles had no good impression of the Shandong scholars, and the contradictions and struggles between the two sides ran through the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The frequent infighting, coupled with the emperor's stupidity, directly led to the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was stronger than the Northern Zhou Dynasty, being destroyed by the other party.

When Emperor Yu Wenyong of Zhou arrived in Yecheng, the Shandong scholars who had been suppressed by Gao Qi for many years rejoiced and gathered in Yecheng to serve the male lord who was about to unify the world.

Yu Wenyong made a very high gesture and issued an edict saying: Zou Lu is a gentleman, a knight, a mediocre knight, and it is appropriate to record.

However, the Shandong scholars who were hired by the Zhou State were often demoted to official ranks, and as the Shandong scholars requisitioned by the Zhou Emperor, there were eighteen people whose experience can be used as representatives:

Yang Xiu Zhishi to Hezhou Thorn History, Yuan Yu Xiu Shi to Tokyo Si Zong Doctor, Yuan Xiu Bo Shi to Zai Shi Doctor, Cui Da Shi to Xiao Yuzheng, Yuan Wen Zong Shi to Si Cheng Doctor, Li Xiaozhen Shi at least enshrined the next doctor.

Yan Zhitui Shi to the Imperial History Sergeant, Xin Deyuan Shi to Xuanna Sergeant, Wang Shao, idle, Lu Kaiming Shi to Xuanna Sergeant, Lu Sidao returned to his hometown after illness, Xue Daoheng was the second life of the Imperial History at the beginning, and later returned to his hometown after illness.

There are also Li Zuqin, Sima Youzi, Li Ruo, Lu You, Gao Xinggong, etc., all of whom are not important positions, the only exception is Li Delin, but all in all, Shandong scholars are not valued by the Zhou court.

These people were all quite talented people among the Shandong scholars at that time, and they were full of joy and joy in Shi Zhou, but they were all idle officials, and Yu Wenyong actually had no intention of reusing them.

In other words, deliberate suppression.

Why suppress? Because the basic territory of the Zhou State is Guanzhong, the territory of the Guanlong aristocracy, what is the matter with you Shandong scholars?

What made them even more unbearable was that there was no "turbidity" in the election of officials in the Zhou State, and as a natural nobleman, he was actually appointed as a lowly turbidity official, which made them sweep the floor.

Accustomed to the benefits brought by the Wei and Jin Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the Shandong scholars thought that "Shishu is different", and now the Zhou State confuses them with the Shu people, which is simply unreasonable, so it is okay if the Zhou officials don't do it.

Except for Cui Daqian who later followed Wei Chi Yuan, and Li Delin who later followed Yang Jian, many people resigned and returned to their hometowns at that time, and among these people, there was Fang Yanqian.

Even Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, couldn't let Fang Yanqian serve his life, and Prime Minister Wei Chi Hui couldn't let him come out to be an official again, what kind of ability does Yu Wenwen have now to make Fang Yanqian serve his life?

Fang Yanqian is the epitome of countless Shandong scholars, they miss the demeanor of the Wei and Jin dynasties, miss the glorious days of the inferior Wushi clan, and look down on the vulgar nouveau riche who beat and killed in Guanlong.

They are family heirloom knowledge, confident that they can help the emperor govern the world, so they hope that "the pure will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid", and they hope that the shishu will be different, and they hope that they can be treated as superior.

Are these people wrong? There is nothing wrong with that, because the political status quo of this era is like this, that is, the so-called gate politics, even if Li Tang opens the imperial examination, it will not change much.

The wrestling between the Shandong forces and the Guanlong forces lasted until the Wu Zetian period, and the gate valve politics died together with the Tang Dynasty, and today's Yuwenwen has no ability to reverse the general trend.

His father, Yu Wenliang, is now trying his best to rein in the original basic plate of the Zhou State, that is, the Guanlong magnates who once fell to Yang Jian, and the Shandong scholars will inevitably believe that the Yuwenliang Group is centered on the Guanlong forces.

There is an example of Yu Wenyong back then, and how many Shandong scholars are willing to come to defect?

Yuwenwen is also a member of the Yuwenliang Group, even if there are occasional children of the side branches of the Shandong Shi clan to defect, but if you want someone of Fang Yanqian's level to stay and become an official, it is wishful thinking.

The big one doesn't want to be an official, and if he wants to train the small one to serve him, it's even more difficult, unless he holds the power of the imperial court, like Cao ** Sima Yi, and forcibly recruits the other party to be an official, otherwise he doesn't have to think about it.

Putting away the letter, Yuwen Wen sighed, as the so-called Tao is not the same, it is impossible for him to agree with the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, so now there is no way to let those people who have a deep plot in the Shi clan serve their lives.

One day, I'm going to make your mouth say no, but your body is honest! (To be continued.) )
