"The family candidates, since childhood, can not be produced, peace of mind to study for learning, many people do not listen to the outside of the window, only read the sage books, but it is not unsightly, because the family has a lot ......of Confucianism and wealth, they are well-informed, and do not worry about money, they are ambitious and noble."

Hearing Nie Daoren say this, Shi Le frowned, and retorted a little unhappily: "These so-called ambitions are just lofty and unrealistic ideas, and when they really become officials, they will know that they are insufficient." ”

Nie Daoren smiled slightly, knowing that his illiterate lord did not like to praise the remarks of scholars, if it were not for the sake of stabilizing his territory, he had to accept the family, I am afraid that he would have to send those who read poetry and books to mining.

But Nie Shi was not annoyed, so he said: "This is natural, the so-called ambition should be born from the heart after tasting the world, but the children of that family are also influenced by past figures, it is inevitable that such an illusion will be born, it is inevitable to follow these people's requirements, so it is not easy to contact, for them, if they are tricked into betraying, it is against their ambition, if they are bought with money, it is also useless, in contrast, the cold door and cloth clothes are different." ”

"A certain family understands what you mean, the children of the poor family seek to improve, not necessarily just for ambition, but also to change the poverty situation, or the vast lintel, to their liking, can be used," Shi Le narrowed his eyes, "It's just that this kind of action, but it's not easy, there are also risks, not to mention the people who have passed this first exam now, but there are a large number of people, if they have to be bought, not only will it cost a lot, but it may not be effective, who knows how many of them will be brushed off in the end?" Besides, there are many people in this person, and there are many people with mixed mouths, and if we buy them in the past, it will be easy to be exposed. ”

Nie Daoren nodded and said: "The king is extremely worried, his subordinates heard that some businessmen in the north before were bribed, and it was indeed very unsafe to report them when they turned their faces, so the meaning of the subordinates was to take the opportunity to understand who had wealth among those candidates, and then wait and see what happened, and when the final results came out, they were selecting a few people to go over and make friends with them." ”

Speaking of this, he added: "This purchase does not need to be directly taken with real money, it will make people vigilant all of a sudden, and it must be gradual." ”

"Okay, just do what you say." Shi Le said and put down the list in his hand, "At the moment, the Xuanjia army is invincible, and a certain family also knows that their catties and taels are not Chen's opponents at all, even if they can steal a scale and a half claw, or steal a few sharp weapons, it is also a symptom but not a cure, that is, they draw gourds in the same way, they are not opponents, but they have to be made for it, but now that he Chen has pacified the grassland, integrated the three states, and even Goguryeo has surrendered, and the next step must be to go south, so a certain family will bear the brunt and have to prepare." ”

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "If the combat power is insufficient, then you can only use other means, as long as you can keep the foundation, a certain family can do anything, then the outside of Youzhou is difficult to break, you have to find a way to let them mess up!" ”

Nie Daoren listened, lowered his head, and didn't say anything more.

Soon, the list quickly spread out and was grasped by various forces, among which the distant Shu and other forces did not have much feeling about it, but the two small imperial courts in Guanzhong and Jiangzuo had a great repercussion about it.

"I didn't expect him Chen to get carried away, and now he actually digs his own grave!"

Looking at the information sent with the list, the King of Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the King of Huainan.

"The family is the foundation of the world, it is difficult to gain a foothold without a family, he Chen was originally able to flourish in Youzhou, and the support of the family is inseparable, but I didn't expect to turn his face and try to replace the family with the imperial examination, which is really a stupid move!"

King Huainan shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "The Chen clan is inexperienced, and they knew humility in the past, but now that their strength is expanding, they are a little carried away. ”

"Wang Mang is humble, it's just a disguise, so what's the difference between Chen Zhi?" The King of Chu stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "That Chen family is also an ordinary wolf ambition, if you leave it alone, it will be a disaster sooner or later, but Wang Mang also dared to show his true face after the rebellion was completed, but the Chen family couldn't hold his heart, and now it is exposed, it is really looking for death!" ”

King Huainan smiled: "It's not that you and I calculated him, deliberately bowed his head, and recognized his self-proclaimed title of champion Hou, so that he got carried away, this is the trick that will be done!" ”

The King of Chu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, nodded with a smile, and said: "It is this truth, you and I have worked hard to finally be known to others, and the ministers in the court should also know it." ”

But the two of them knew very well in their hearts that they were obviously under pressure when they bowed their heads, and where there was any real plan, there was really no way to do this.

It's just that this move was to avoid disaster at that time, but after it was really implemented, it was a devastating blow to the prestige of the two, not only lost the land of Sizhou, but even made the army very dissatisfied with them, so that the military orders could not be smoothed recently, so that it was difficult to return to Luoyang.

And those ministers in the DPRK and China are also very dissatisfied with the two, and even the officials who were promoted by them have faint signs of detachment.

There are even a large number of officials, who have been in contact with other forces in private and are slowly draining, and one of the main destinations is the small court of Jiangzuo.

Recently, the two kings have tried their best, but they still haven't been able to reverse this trend, but suddenly there is such a news, the king of Huainan has reminded, the king of Chu will go to the road immediately, the two sides hit it off, and immediately preached such a statement in Guanzhong.

However, it is really effective, many people really think that this method may really be Chen's own grave, the most obvious reaction is that the Liangzhou Zhang family, who originally planned to send someone to communicate with the Chen family, also because of the fear of the influence of the imperial examination, did not really make a request for annexation, but continued to contact the court in Guanzhong.

It's just that the two kings are also very clear that they are only temporarily stable, and if they want to stabilize their position, they still need a new way, and at this time, several more monks have ascended the gate of the two kings.

On the other hand, Jiang Zuo's court was expected to be similar to the two kings, and even because Jiang Zuo was a family with important lands and was full of gates, he was more vigilant about the imperial examination, and even many celebrities and scholars came forward in person to refute this move, if it were not for the influence of the Xuanjia Army, I am afraid that it would have been bluntly said to be perverse.

But even so, the original momentum of the Jiangzuo Imperial Court faintly approaching the Northland was also stopped by the resistance of the family, and then those families planned to connect the world, especially to contact the Northland family, and had a plan.

And these news were collected by the Zhang family and the Yu family who secretly took refuge in the Chen family and sent to the north.
