Rich but three generations! There is no family in this world that can survive forever, there are always ups and downs, but there is also no family that does not want their family to prosper for all generations and make unremitting efforts for it. There is no personal vendetta between Chen Qun and Liu Xie, but because of the different starting points of considering things, they have become hostile parties.

Chen Qun knew that as soon as Liu Xie was the son of heaven, the family he represented would not have a day of peace. Although he can also choose Mingzhe to protect himself, the Chen family has no successor, and once he chooses to retreat, the Chen family will definitely decline in the future. The nine-product zhongzheng system is obviously to protect the rights and interests of all families, but in fact, Chen Qun is mainly for his own considerations, as long as the imperial court has set the nine-product zhongzheng system, the descendants of the Chen family, whether they are virtuous or foolish, can sit back and relax.

Liu Xie's denial of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is tantamount to cutting off the future of the Chen family. Killing parents and cutting off people's financial means are all great enemies that are difficult to resolve, in order to protect the Chen family from enjoying glory and wealth in the future, Chen Qun can only take risks. And there are also many families who have similar worries to Chen Qun.

The princes of the Han Dynasty were divided, and the families in various places also had their own supporters, and the Zhong Er family chose Liu Xie at the beginning, and now that Liu Xie is in power, they will also rise with it, and they don't have to worry about the three generations. But some families can't be as easy as Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan.

The Yang family represented by Yang Biao, although he is related to the royal family, but he is also related to Yuan Shu, who once claimed to be the emperor, although Liu Xie will not deliberately make things difficult for the Yang family because of this, but the Yang family does not need to think about it if they want to be among the center of the imperial court. Yang Biao is now at home like Cai Yong, Ma Riyan and other old ministers, but judging from the degree to which each person's heirs are reused by the imperial court, it is obviously not a grade. Yang Biao knew that today's son was not a foolish person, so he didn't think about changing anything, but his youngest son Yang Xiu was a person who was unwilling to be lonely, in Yang Xiu's eyes, many people with inferior talents were better than themselves, and the biggest reason was that today's son was prejudiced against the Yang family, and he was not convinced!

As for the Yuan family, which was also co-opted by Chen Qun, it did not refer to the Yuan family of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, but there were also disagreements on the concubine, Yuan Shao was the concubine, but Yuan Shu was the concubine, so the Yuan family at that time had their own support and was divided into two forces, the north and the south. In today's Yuan family, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang represent the northern Yuan family, and the southern Yuan family, that is, the representative of the Yuan Shu branch, is his son Yuan Yao.

After Yuan Shu said that the emperor failed and died, the prestige of the Yuan family in Nanyang plummeted, and Yuan Yao also changed from the original "prince" to a lost dog. It stands to reason that rebellious family members will not end well, but Yuan Yao's luck happened to coincide with Liu Xie's wife Zhen Mi to give birth, plus Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan and others pleaded with Liu Xie, Liu Xie spared Yuan Yao's life. After all, Yuan Yao's ability is mediocre, at best, he is a son-in-law, he is not a threat to Liu Xie, and it has no effect on whether he kills or not, it can be said that Yuan Yao's life and death are only between Liu Xie's thoughts, Yuan Yao is lucky, just in time for Liu Xie to kill people, so he picked up a life.

However, although he picked up a life, but the glory and wealth of the past are far away from Yuan Yao, in order to make a living, Yuan Yao had to put down the shelf, abandon the literature and engage in business, but he is a life served by others on weekdays, and he has seven tricks to do business, but he doesn't know anything, not to mention that he has lost all his capital, and he owes a lot of debts. Fortunately, Yang Biao helped at that time, and after paying off his debts, he found an errand for copying documents in the official mansion, which saved Yuan Yao's life.

For the Yang family, Yuan Yao is grateful to Dade, so when Yang Xiu opened his mouth to invite him to conspire with great things, Yuan Yao agreed without any hesitation. With Yuan Yao's joining, as long as it is not very confidential, Chen Qun, Yang Xiu and others can know about it as soon as possible.

In addition to Yang Xiu and Yuan Yao, Chen Qun also recruited Zhu Hao, the guard who guarded the west gate of the palace, and Cui Jun from the Cui family in Hebei. Zhu Hao's father is the eldest son of Zhu Jun, a famous general in the court, after Zhu Jun's death, he was also appointed as the guard of the West Gate by Liu Xie, in addition to him, the heirs of the old ministers who helped Liu Xie when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil have been taken care of by Liu Xie, among which Wang Yun's nephew Wang Ling, Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu, Huangfu Songzhi's son Huangfu Li, plus Zhu Hao, these four people have received the most care, and their official positions are also the highest among their peers.

It's just that greed is not enough to swallow elephants, Zhu Hao is still dissatisfied with the treatment of the bottom of the four, as soon as Chen Qun is slightly wooed, he will introduce Chen Qun as a confidant, and is determined to follow Chen Qun to "conspire with great things".

As for Cui Jun, he is also called Cui Zhouping. At the beginning, he defected to Liu Bei with Zhuge Liang, and later Liu Bei was an enemy of the imperial court, intending to seize the Bashu of the imperial court, Cui Jun left Liu Bei under the pretext of returning to his hometown to visit relatives, although this made him clear his relationship with Liu Bei, but it was difficult to get Liu Xie's reuse. No matter what his purpose of leaving Liu Bei was, Liu Xie's vigilance against the children of the family was very high, especially when Cui Jun followed Zhuge Liang to deal with Sima Yi, since Liu Xie reused Sima Yi, he naturally did not appear enthusiastic about Cui Jun's coming.

For the future of the family, Cui Jun "swallowed his anger" and stayed in the court as an official, but when the imperial court recovered Hebei, the blow to the Cui family in Hebei did not show mercy because of Cui Jun, which made Cui Jun feel extremely dissatisfied, but at that time, the overall situation was decided, and Cui Jun could only endure it no matter how much dissatisfaction he had, otherwise it would only cause more serious suppression. But forbearance is endurance, but the resentment in my heart has never dissipated. Chen Qun's wooing happened to be in the middle of Cui Jun's arms. Let Cui Jun be the leader? Cui Jun doesn't do it! But if Cui Jun is only responsible for beating the side drum, then Cui Jun is still very happy.

I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid of no good people! Liu Xie didn't know that there were people behind him who were preparing to make waves, and most of his attention at this time was on Sun Quan and Liu Bei. As long as these two people are solved, the big man will be reunited, and he can be said to have completed what many people want to do but can't, and that sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.

The more times like this, the more you need to guard against arrogance and rashness, be cautious, Liu Xie reminded himself more than once not to be complacent, and thanks to his sober understanding, this is more than a faint move.

Today's Han Dynasty is no longer the weak wind when Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, and most of the prefectures and counties were returned to the rule of the imperial court, giving Liu Xie the confidence to end the troubled times. Although there are only more than 200,000 soldiers and horses going south this time, they are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of Sun Quan and Liu Bei are only strong and not weak. As for the southern boat and the northern horse, Liu Xieda did not plan to decide the winner with Sun and Liu through a water battle at the beginning.

Don't use your own advantages, but you want to drill into the trap of your opponent, Liu Xie can't think of any other reason besides being stupid. Sun Quan and Liu Bei thought that if Liu Xie's naval army had been severely damaged, they could rely on the Yangtze River moat to keep the peace for a while, but how did they know that Liu Xie's fight was not ready to defeat Sun and Liu through water warfare from the beginning.

The Han Dynasty has millions of soldiers, except for the soldiers and horses that have gone south this time, the remaining soldiers and horses are either disbanded and returned to the station or ordered to be transferred elsewhere, although the Sun and Liu families have strengthened the work of meticulous work, but they want to find out the movement of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court is not a day or two can be done.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court have not yet arrived in Chibi, but Sun Quan and Liu Bei are already a little impatient to wait, but even if they are impatient, they can only wait patiently at this time. In order to let Liu Xie order to speed up the march, Sun and Liu also thought of some methods, such as sending a small force to land on the south bank to harass and let people spread rumors, but no matter what the method, the effect was always not good, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court went south still unhurried south, without interference from external factors.

"What does this Liu Xie'er want to do?" Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang with some annoyance. But Zhuge Liang didn't speak, he knew that Liu Bei was not really asking himself, but looking for himself to go under the stairs. The reason is that he was clever himself, and sent people across the river to spread rumors, but he just called Liu Xie's people to arrest him.

Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, so the next thing is naturally annoyance. Liu Bei didn't have the courage to lead the army across the river to find trouble with Liu Xie, who was in Xiangyang at this time, so he had to live here.

Identity is a thing that sometimes works. Before Liu Xie arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Bei took advantage of Kuaiqi's arrest to make a big fuss and spread rumors to encourage the Jingxiang family, saying that this was a precursor for the imperial court to take the opportunity to attack the Jingxiang family, causing the Jingxiang family to endanger themselves, but with Liu Xie's personal arrival, Kuaiqi's death penalty was pardoned in public, and the rumors spread by Liu Bei's previous orders were also self-defeating, on the contrary, it made the Jingxiang family feel even more disgusted with Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang was also helpless about this, and he was even more depressed. Kuaiqi is his brother-in-law, and it was precisely because of his demagogy that Kuaiqi decided to become an enemy of the imperial court. But after Kuaiqi was arrested, Zhuge Liang did nothing, if it wasn't for Pang Lin secretly taking care of him, Kuaiqi might have committed suicide because of fear of crime.

It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang can now be said to be a real loner. Zhuge has five children, Zhuge Liang is the fourth, he also has his brother Zhuge Jin and two sisters, and there is a younger brother Zhuge Jun below. At that time, he moved with his uncle Zhuge Xuan to settle in Jingxiang, and as an outsider, the biggest reason why he was able to be accepted by the Jingxiang family was marriage. His two elder sisters were married to the famous Kuai family and the Pang family of the Jingxiang family at that time. The eldest sister married Kuai Qi, and the second sister married Pang Shanmin.

This time Kuai Qi was arrested and imprisoned, Zhuge Liang's eldest sister was helpless, not only had to worry about her husband's safety, but also had to bear the complaints from within the Kuai family, and for Zhuge Liang, the culprit, Zhuge Liang's eldest sister did not have a good face.

Zhuge Liang offended the eldest sister, and the second sister also lost contact with Zhuge Liang because she was worried that she would be involved, and Zhuge Liang's remaining brother and younger brother also had no contact with Zhuge Liang because of the principle that eggs are not put in one basket, one is in Jiangdong and the other is in Chang'an. is more than thirty people, and now he is still a single, and the wife he should have had is now married in Chang'an, and it has nothing to do with him.

Zhuge Liang felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't want to tell anyone about this bitterness, let alone get the sympathy of others because of it. For today's Zhuge Liang, defeating the imperial court is the top priority, and the rest is just floating clouds, so you don't have to take it to heart. Because of the clear goal, Zhuge Liang also put a lot of thought into the upcoming war, in order to prevent loopholes, Zhuge Liang and Lu Meng more than once launched military exercises, with Lu Meng on behalf of the imperial court, Zhuge Liang on behalf of Sun Liu, on the map to start a big battle. Not to mention, it is indeed better to do this than to assume by mind alone, through military exercises again and again, Zhuge Liang and Lu Meng found a lot of problems on their own side, and corrected them one by one.

The wise man must have a mistake, the fool has a thousand thoughts, there is no perfect thing in this world, the pursuit of perfection, to achieve perfection is the attitude of doing things. I think that there will be no problem, but often the more I think so, the bigger the basket will be.

Sun Quan's uncle, Sun Jing, was a family interest paramount, and it was precisely because of his support that Sun Quan was able to successfully overcome the difficulties at the beginning when he first ascended to the position of the lord of Jiangdong. Although Sun Jing was also dissatisfied with Sun Quan's means of murdering his brother Sun Ce to ascend to the throne, strictly speaking, Sun Quan's approach was in line with Sun Jing's requirements for a generation of masters.

Sun Jing's brother Sun Jian is not a qualified lord in Sun Jing's eyes, if he is a qualified lord, will he fall into the enemy's trap with a rash attack, so that he will die at the hands of a little-known nobody? And Sun Ce's personality is quite similar to his father, and he is also self-sustaining and brave and accustomed to being light and simple, for which Sun Jing has persuaded Sun Ce more than once, but Sun Ce's attitude disappointed Sun Jing, always going in and out of the left ear, and did not take Sun Jing's advice seriously.

Sun Ce will be plotted, in Sun Jing's opinion, it is a matter of time, the only thing that surprises Sun Jing is that it is not someone else, but Sun Ce's own brother Sun Quan. But because of this, Sun Jing is optimistic about Sun Quan and thinks that Sun Quan is the candidate who can make the Sun family go further.

After Sun Quan got Lu Meng's reminder, he immediately thought of Sun Jing. First of all, Sun Jing is highly respected in Jiangdong, and with the death of several veterans in Jiangdong one after another, Sun Jing has become the only one left. And Sun Jing is cautious, he is not enterprising enough, and he has more than enough self-preservation, leaving him in Wu County is not overkill. And more importantly, Sun Jing is the elder of the Sun family, even if Sun Ce sees it, he doesn't dare to make a rude move, and once Sun Ce has scruples, then he will have time to help.

Although there is no doubt about Lu Meng's speculation, it is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, and Jiangdong has so many soldiers and horses, both to deal with the imperial army and to guard against the attack from the sea, so the troops are a little stretched, and they can't take care of that side. The only way to do this is to think about one side first, and think of something else on the other side.
