Things, just as Zhao Ang expected, after the last failure, there are not many scholars who are willing to accept the joint call of the major families in Guanzhong this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This time, the Son of Heaven is an open selection of scholars, not to mention those scholars from poor families who have come to Chang'an City who have come to Chang'an in response to the call of the family, and at this moment, they are quite moved by the recruitment of the world's scholars in the face of the imperial court directly over the family.

Catering to the family and even competing with the imperial power, for what? Isn't it the right to recommend in the hands of the family? Now you can directly get the appointment of the imperial court through your own talent, although there is a certain elimination rate, but some scholars who think that they are not weak in learning, how can they be willing to miss this opportunity?

"Taifu, this time we sent people to travel to various families in Chang'an and contact the scholars, I'm afraid it will be difficult to work." The next day, in Taifu's mansion, Liang Gang and several other scholars in charge of liaison looked at Yang Biao with a wry smile.

"It's not that we don't do our best, the previous incident has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among scholars, like Zhao Ang, Qian Xing and other families, and they directly refused, the last incident made their family suffer heavy losses, but we didn't compensate in time, it was a ......" The other person glanced at Yang Biao with a wry smile.

When Yang Biao heard this, his mouth was even more bitter, not because he was unwilling to compensate, but for the royal firm, it was enough to touch the upper and lower mouths, without the Zhao family, there could also be the Li family, the Wang family, the Tian family, the royal firm has a lot of things with rich profits in its hands, and there are too many merchants willing to cooperate with them.

Although the Yang family, the Sima family, and the Ding family are old families, there are more than a dozen families involved this time, once they are lost, even the three major families can't bear it, these losses are enough for any family to empty all the heritage in an instant, and be beaten back to the prototype, and even if they want to accompany, how to distribute it? This is a problem, in the end, the three families were silent about this matter, and they didn't say this beforehand, and Zhao Ang, the head of the family, had nowhere to plead, and in the end, the four families with the shallowest background couldn't hold it anymore, and they took the blame, which was considered to have eliminated this disaster.

With the last experience, this time these small families decisively refused as soon as the envoys sent by Yang Biao and others spoke, and did not pick up sticks to drive people away, which had already given Yang Biao and these people a lot of face.

"Taifu, since these people don't care about the interests of our scholars and are willing to do business, it is better to ......" A strategist looked at Yang Biao, a grim color flashed in his eyes, and he made a throat-cutting motion.

"No!" Yang Biao closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed: "I am a fault to others in this matter, and An Ke will make this decision again, in this way, wouldn't he be self-defeating to the scholars?" ”

Let's not talk about the security of Chang'an City, the Tiger Benwei patrols day and night, whether there is a chance to kill people first, even if it is really successful, but there are so many scholars in Chang'an City, how many can they kill? And if it is found out, even if Liu Xie does not embarrass Yang Biao, the Yang family will face the anger of the corporal in the world.

Don't look at Liu Xie's ability to resist, that's because Liu Xie has enough confidence, people don't ask you, and you haven't really done anything angry and resentful, the scholars are dissatisfied, and they also focus on Liu Xie's opening of a bookstore, but if you kill scholars because of your own selfishness, once the matter is revealed to the world, even if Liu Xie doesn't pursue it, it is only a matter of time before the Yang family declines, not to mention, how could Liu Xie not pursue such a big thing, it is more likely that he did it by pushing the boat down the river.

"The head of the house, there are people outside the door who claim to be the head of the family and ask to see the head of the house." A general came in and said to Yang Biao.

"The deceased?" Yang Biao frowned, he was the third prince of the dynasty, famous all over the world, and almost all of the people who could be called old people were famous people in the world, claiming to be old people but refusing to reveal their names, which means that this person's identity is not easy to reveal, who will it be at this time?

"Let him in!" Yang Biao thought for a while, turned his head to look at Liang Gang and the others: "You have worked hard this time, and go back to rest first, and we will talk about it later." ”

"Oh, I'll say goodbye!" When Liang Gang and the others heard this, they hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

Soon, not long after Liang Gang and the others left, the family would bring in a middle-aged scribe.

"Wen Xiangong, since Luoyang, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and now he is ranked as the third duke, which is really gratifying." The middle-aged scribe looked at Yang Biao and smiled.

"You are ......" At first, I just felt a little familiar, but after listening to the other party's words, my face changed, and I said sharply: "Xu Ziyuan!" How dare you go here! ”

At that time, Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, Zhou Jing, a famous scholar of Peiguo, and others were dissatisfied with the Han Emperor Liu Hong, and wanted to abolish the establishment of the Marquis of Hefei as the emperor, but finally failed, Wang Fen and Zhou Jing died, but Xu You was nowhere to be found, originally, Yang Biao thought that Xu You was dead, and later learned that Xu You had actually invested under Yuan Shao.

There were many people who knew about this back then, and Yang Biao was one of them, but no one knew that there was a river at that time. He Yu, a famous scholar in the south, and Xu You came to lobby him, but Yang Biao acquiesced at that time, if these people succeeded at that time, Yang Biao would be responsible for appeasing the ministers of the court and welcoming the new emperor.

In the end, the matter was lost, and the matter was over, I didn't expect to see Xu You again today, which made Yang Biao's heart tremble, for fear that the incident would be exposed by Xu You, although Liu Xie was polite to Yang Biao on the surface, but Yang Biao knew very well that this Son of Heaven had wanted to do it for a long time, if Xu You poked this matter out, Yang Biao could be 100% sure that once the Son of Heaven knew about it, he would take the opportunity to get rid of himself.

"Wen Xiangong, don't you want to sit down?" Xu You smiled.

Yang Biao took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, nodded, and motioned for him to sit down.

Looking at Xu You's indifferent and breezy expression, Yang Biao finally couldn't help but snort: "Why are you here?" Do you know what you committed back then, it is enough for Your Majesty to raid your house and destroy you! ”

"It's not for anything else, but for the Taifu." Xu You shook his head with a smile and sighed: "What Your Majesty is doing now, I believe that Taifu is also dissatisfied and disregards the interests of our scholars, and this kind of practice is really self-defeating!" ”

"Your Majesty has a reason, why do you need a minister to talk nonsense!" Yang Biao snorted coldly.

"Taifu really thinks so?" Xu You looked at Yang Biao and sighed: "Originally, you thought that Taifu was also like my lord, and he was willing to share the worries of the scholars, but now it seems that today's son also has some ability, which actually makes heroes like Taifu lose their courage, just want to live in the world, and lose the righteousness in their chests." ”

"Presumptuous!" Yang Biao was furious when he heard this, slammed the table and stood up, pointed at Xu Yu with a halberd, and said sharply: "Er is a chaotic minister and thief, dare to humiliate me!" ”

"Taifu, what's the matter?" Several guards rushed in quickly and surrounded Xu You.

"It's okay, you wait to retreat first!" Yang Biao suppressed the anger in his heart and waved his hand.

"Whoa!" Several of the guards looked at each other and slowly retreated.

As if he had expected it a long time ago, Xu You smiled slightly, bowed to Yang Biao and said: "It seems that you have found the wrong person, Taifu, after all, he is already old, since this is the case, then Xu You will leave." ”

"Wait!" Yang Biao sat down again, looked at Xu You's gesture to leave, sneered, and stopped him.

"What else does the Taifu command?" Xu You turned his head and looked at Yang Biao with a smile.

"Yuan Benchu sent you here this time, didn't he just want to ridicule the old man?" Yang Biao said coldly.

"Naturally not, but since Taifu would rather be foolish and loyal to the Son of Heaven, it is not easy to be strong." Xu You said indifferently.

"Let's talk about it, and let the old man listen to it, what exactly did Yuan Ben plan to do." Yang Biao closed his eyes and said indifferently.

"It's fine." A smile flashed across Xu You's face.

……

Chengming Palace, Liu Xie's study.

"Xu Yu?" Looking at the information in his hand, Liu Xie's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Do you know why this person came to Chang'an?" ”

Xu You is an important strategist under Yuan Shao, but more importantly, Xu You did the big thing back then, although it was unsuccessful, but it also brought a crooked head to the scholars, if it is an impact, for the royal family, what these people did was even more harmful to the royal family than the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

"Not yet proven." The Commander of the Dark Guard shook his head: "This person has already entered the Taifu Mansion and has been received by the Taifu alone, as for what he is talking about, it is difficult to find out. ”

Yang Biao is very alert, Liu Xie has a secret force in his hands to listen to the intelligence of the world, although this matter has not been disclosed, but as a few people in the court, Yang Biao can guess, so he attaches great importance to the privacy of the house, that is, the family general, many things will not let them know, whether it is a secret guard or a secret guard, the penetration of the Taifu Mansion is very limited.

"Go down!" Liu Xie nodded, put the information in his hand on the table, and waved his hand.

"Whoa!" The Commander of the Dark Guard bowed and retired.

"Xu You, it seems that the Kwantung princes are going to make a move, this is to come to Chang'an to find internal response." After Liu Xie closed his eyes and thought for a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Wei Zhong on the side: "Inform the secret guard, during this time, who Xu You has been in contact with, including who the people from the Taifu Mansion have been in contact with, have all been discovered." ”

"Whoa!" Wei Zhong bowed, then looked at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, is this person secretly detained?" ”

"That's not necessary." When Liu Xie heard this, he sneered and shook his head: "I only know the conspiracy and tricks, I can't make the climate, let him jump, don't startle the snake, I also want to see, what tricks Yuan Benchu wants to play, it's best to give me one or two, but this matter can only be done in secret, even if you can't rebel, you can also get what Xu You said back to me, and when necessary, you can use some extraordinary means." ”

"Whoa!"

Wei Zhong's heart sank, as Liu Xie's close attendant, he was also the number one secret guard Tianzi, he naturally knew what this extraordinary means represented.
