Volume 3: A Generation of Tianjiao - Chapter 24: Li Bin's Choice (2)

On the evening of July 28, the third year of Guangshun, in the old house of the Chen family in Fushi County, all the servants and servants were sent out, and there were only four people left in the bar, Chen Shutong, the political director of Yanzhou and the county commander of Yan'an and Fushi counties, Han Wei, the pedestrian ginseng military Zhaowen and military Han Wei of the Eighth Route Army, Chen Zhe, the big proprietor of the Fengyu Chen Trading Company, and then Chen Su, the news figure who has been discussed the most in the Yanzhou officialdom in the past few days.

Chen Shutong walked around the room, his old face was full of anxious looks, Chen Su frowned: "Daddy, sit down, the matter has already come out, and it is useless to die at this moment!" Daddy forgot what Uncle Gao Shishu told before he went to Gyeongju? ”

Chen Shutong sighed and scolded hatefully: "Gao Qizheng's killing is at ease at the moment, he is in charge of the political affairs of a state, far away from Yanzhou, even if there is any messy book, it will not easily affect him, I knew that Gyeongju was initially decided three months ago, and I also asked to be transferred there, maybe I avoided this right and wrong." ”

Han Wei shook his head slightly, obviously very disappreciative of Chen Shutong's opinion, Chen Su glanced at her husband, then at her father, and said softly: "Daddy said foolish words, can our family be the same as Uncle Gao Shi?" The high-rise buildings of the Gao family have been destroyed, and the old and young people of the family are left, and now only Uncle Gao Shishu is still striding forward on his career. If it weren't for this uncle's resolute refusal to return to the clan, the Gao family would have been the only one to follow. Even now, the knowledgeable elders of the Gao family all regard Uncle Gao Shi as the only hope for the Gao family to prosper again in the future. Uncle Gao Shishu stayed in Yanzhou, from Prime Minister Li Jieshuai to Judge Qin Bu Zhengwen, how could he rest assured? ”

Seeing that Chen Shutong was stunned and still didn't understand, Chen Zhe, who had been yawning listlessly, muttered: "Uncle Gao Shi was born in a high family, and the Qingliu people in Yanzhou naturally can't trust him." General Lee sealed him in Gyeongju, which is really a big deal......"

"You know what a fart---- Chen Shutong couldn't get used to this unprofessional children's book, and when he heard him speak, he was angry, and he scolded as soon as his eyebrows stood up.

"What the eldest brother said is clear...... "This time it was Han Wei who defended Chen Zhe," ...... Gao Shaoyuan was in charge of Gyeongju, so he isolated the opportunity for Yanzhou officialdom to infiltrate Gyeongju, and Xiao Ya left Xiazhou. But he has no selfish friendship with Lee Sang-gong. He has no dealings with the civil officials in Yanzhou led by Qin Changshi, not to mention Lu Xun, who is a person who was born as a military general, and who regards the military orders of the marshal as bigger than the sky. The judges of the four states were appointed, but three of the state offices fell into the hands of these unpopular figures. The territory under General Li's jurisdiction has expanded, but the civil officials of Yanzhou are still only the civil officials of Yanzhou! ”

Although Chen Shutong is not very satisfied with this hunchbacked son-in-law, he still attaches great importance to this person's family background and knowledge. Hearing him say this, he thought about Li Wenge's appointment of the governors of the four prefectures. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Han Wei was right. Li Wenge was consciously restricting the expansion of the Yanzhou civil officials.

"I heard that this Li Jieshuai is the most accustomed to using a spear before the army......"

With a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth, Chen Su said softly.

Han Wei turned his head, looked at his wife's book, and smiled bitterly. ^^ eBook ^^

Chen Shutong was confused: "Zhizhi, what kind of blade does Li Jieshuai use, and what does it have to do with it?" ”

Chen Su said lightly: "The appointment of the three judges of Gao Xiaolu is just the first gun that this marshal danced against the Yanzhou officialdom, and our Chen family, unfortunately it is his second gun......"

Chen Shutong was stunned. After a while, Fang said: "Could it be that this matter has another meaning?" ”

Chen Su nodded lightly: "The Gao family has fallen." The Han family was depressed, and Gongtian ordered it. Yanzhou's original large households collapsed in an instant, and there was no longer the strength to fight those civil officials who were born in the imperial examination, and General Li needed a new family to divide the power of the civil officials......"

Chen Shutong's brows tightened, he had already understood what Chen Su meant, but he was still a little puzzled: "Why the Chen family?" ”

"First, the eldest brother is the biggest businessman in Yanzhou today, and second, the younger son-in-law is an outsider who has nothing to do with Yanzhou officialdom......" Han Wei gently answered Chen Shutong's question.

Chen Shutong was stunned, and it was reasonable to say that Han Wei's family background made Li Wenge attach great importance to it, but it was quite unbelievable to say that Chen Zhedi's weight was so important.

Chen Su knew that his father had always been prejudiced against his younger brother, and he couldn't help but explain at this moment: "Daddy, don't underestimate the eldest brother, now the eldest brother has faintly become the leader of the business community in Yanzhou. Although the eldest brother does not participate in political affairs, he is now a rich man in the emerging land of Yanzhou, speaking of which, in the eyes of our general, I am afraid that the weight of the eldest brother is three points heavier than that of Daddy and Han Lang combined! ”

Chen Shutong was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "This General Li, what kind of mystery ...... you made?"

"What's so strange about that? It's just a separation of powers! Chen Zhe yawned.

"You know again? I don't see you coming back from the test? Chen Shutong glanced at the children's book and said disdainfully.

"Being an official and doing business is actually the same, the same goods, obviously can be imported from one family, but it is necessary to separate from three families---- one price has a competition for profits, and the other is one more purchase channel, so as not to be controlled by others, who wants to raise prices in the future, there are naturally other companies to choose from...... Although there is nothing wrong with the civil officials in the state capital now, the civil administration and economy are in the hands of these people, and the power is too heavy......" Chen Zhe said lazily.

Han Wei nodded approvingly: "The eldest brother is right." The so-called book-making is not a party, but in fact, the book-making people themselves are a party. This party not only includes big figures such as Li Xianggong and Qin Changshi, but also includes all the important political affairs positions of the state office and the actual shortage of the county office. Li Huairen appointed the article as the judge of the Yanzhou Festival, which was a face letter to Li Xianggong, and appointed his father-in-law as the chief of the political department and the Yan'an Fushi County Order, but it was to contain and hinder the article from the side---- in short, the family and civil officials in Yanzhou, neither party can monopolize, and the power can only be continuously distributed and contested between the factions, and the festival marshal who sits on the highest position can sleep peacefully......"

Chen Shutong smiled bitterly and said: "This Li Jieshuai, but he has so many ghost thoughts!" ”

"The superior is not an ordinary person, and the use of spells is the most ordinary, speaking of which, our marshal is still very few when he uses spells. ^^ e-book ^^ What he is best at is actually using power---- this is true for the Tuoba family, and the same is true for the Gao family! Han Wei said lightly.

Chen Su sneered: "The faces of these people in the officialdom are really dirty enough, what kind of magic power, but that little belly chicken intestines." Those who are not in a position want to be in a position, those who are in a position are worried that they will not be able to sit steadily, and those who are in a small position want to be a big official. Authority weakly wants to hold power...... became a marshal. He had to provoke his subordinates to fight and chase like dogs, and he sat in the middle to do it steadily......"

"The general is not such a person...... Chen Zhe raised his neck and argued for Li Wenge.

Chen Su snorted: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, how do you know that he is not?" Since this guy has been making trouble in Yanzhou, in addition to making you a few more money, please drink a few more drinks, and what great benefits have you given to our family? I can't even live a few days of birthday books, isn't it thanks to him? ”

Chen Shutong was a little unfazed when he heard this: "Zhizhi." The speech should still be fair, although this General Li is a little obedient. It's really good for our family! ”

In fact, everyone knows this family. Chen Shutong's official position or Chen Zhe's business, all of which really began to change after Li Wenge took charge of Yanzhou, until now Chen Zhe is still the number one military merchant of the Eighth Route Army to purchase Cao, and it is often a trade throughput calculated in tens of thousands, Chen Shutong has changed from an inconspicuous Dongcheng lieutenant to the current commander of two counties in a prefecture, and even the wealthy marriage between Chen Su and Han Wei, all thanks to this marshal general. The Chen family has been branded too deeply by Li Wenge, although Li Wenge has never asked the Chen family to swear allegiance to them. But in the eyes of outsiders. The great general's trust in the Chen clan had exceeded the limit it should be.

Han Wei glanced at his wife's book and smiled freely: "It's too late to talk about these things at this moment." The civil officials in Yanzhou were dismissed, Li Dajie picked up the book, and saw that the wind and rain in Yanzhou were falling, since our family was in the whirlpool, we must think of a proper response strategy! ”

Chen Shutong asked: "What good law book does the virtuous son-in-law have, let's listen to it!" ”

Han Wei thought for a while and said: "The best policy is to resign from the official position of Yanzhou with the whole family, the father-in-law's political director of the two counties and county orders, my two military officers, the record of the military affairs, and the military rank on the eldest brother, all resigned, and then moved the family to Shaanzhou, that is my Han family's land boundary Yanzhou no matter how big the turmoil is, it will not affect that side......"

As soon as the words came out, Chen Shutong was stunned, and then showed hesitation, and when he finished speaking, Chen Zhe immediately opened his mouth to object: "No, the huge business and trade are all here in Yanzhou, and our Chen family does not have much land, and it is all because of hard work and trading to get to where we are today." Once we don't have this foundation, we're just rootless grass everywhere......"

Chen Su glanced at Chen Zhe and was about to speak, but Chen Zhe preemptively said: "Sister doesn't need to say much, I know what you want to say, Shaanzhou may be the same as doing business and making a living, but although there is business, there may not be a city, Yanzhou is the key point between the north and the south, plus the general attaches great importance to industry and commerce, and collects taxes lightly; In the next ten years, Yanzhou will become the capital of the world's value transshipment. In addition, my parents are old, and it is difficult to leave my homeland, so my brother-in-law's best policy may be difficult to implement! ”

Chen Su pursed her lips and turned her face to look at her father, but saw that Chen Shutong, who had never been waiting to see children's books, did not speak out against it for the first time, she was a smart person in ice and snow, and suddenly thought that her younger brother's business ambitions could not be put down, and the old father's career of a generation of scholars had only lit up in the past two years, so it was more difficult for him to let go easily?

Han Wei didn't make a sound, and seeing that his wife Shu lowered his eyelids and stopped talking, he continued to speak: "What's the middle strategy...... I asked for resignation with Zhizhi, and then went back to my hometown in Shaanzhou, and when the turmoil subsided, it was not too late to come back. The father-in-law is still the official of the father-in-law, so he pretends to know nothing about this matter and ignores it---- there is a way to marry and obey the husband, and everything can be pushed on the son-in-law when asked by outsiders! The eldest brother can also continue to operate a business in Yanzhou...... However, after this incident, the eldest brother's future business path and father-in-law's future career will be more difficult......"

Chen Shutong frowned and said, "Why did the virtuous son-in-law say this? ”

Han Wei smiled faintly: "Hasn't the old father-in-law seen it yet?" This time, some civil officials in Yanzhou targeted our Chen family. My father is in the official body and is in business, and Weng is in charge of the foreign mansion and the son-in-law is the internal history, so it is no wonder that people are jealous of our family. Even if the turmoil subsides, the battle between these Yanzhou officials and their father-in-law will not immediately cease in the future, and the father-in-law will lose his wings. The other party is getting stronger and stronger...... It is conceivable that he will lose in the political struggle in the future......"

Chen Shutong ...... silently

Chen Zhe: "Isn't there a good law book that can take care of several aspects?" ”

Chen Su glanced at Han Wei: "Let's talk about your strategy!" ”

Han smiled, dusted his front and said, "Let's make a decision, we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it." Since this is someone who named and bullied people, we don't have to be polite, polite and humble, it is useless in the first place. Just use the old fist to ......"

The Chen family's father looked at each other when he heard it. Chen Su frowned and asked, "Wen Fight or Martial Arts?" ”

Han smiled: "Although my family has soldiers, they are far away in Shaanzhou, and they can't drive, and since it is a fight with the civil officials in Yanzhou, it is naturally a civil fight, otherwise wouldn't it be a bully?" ”

Chen Shu channeled: "Yanzhou officialdom and civil officials have always been in harmony with each other, and there are only less than 100 people in the turns, and my family is lonely. It's really a fighter, I'm just afraid of ......"

Han Wei smiled mysteriously: "If my father-in-law is only worried about this. Listen to my son-in-law. You can rest easy, this battle is not about brute force, but about ingenuity. The strength of our Chen family, although it is not big in Yanzhou, is by no means small......"

So Han Wei began to arrange: "If the father-in-law agrees, the son-in-law can arrange it overnight, ensuring that within three days from tomorrow, the nine counties will be full of rumors that the civil officials of Yanzhou and the marshal are fighting for power to force the marshal to resign, especially the two counties of Yan'an and Fushi, the state capitals." The son-in-law disciplines the upper and lower people, and everyone knows about it. Yanzhou has received the favor of the Huairen Festival Marshal not only one household and two households, but also the current new policies such as public land, encouraging business, and road repair. are closely linked to Li Huairen's name, and the son-in-law wants to see it, so that the Shinong businessmen and businessmen know the inside story of this battle, how should the civil officials in Yanzhou deal with themselves? ”

Chen Shutong opened his mouth in surprise, and only after a while did he ask, "Can you do it?" ”

Chen Su looked at his father and explained: "All the storytellers in the nine counties of Buda Prefecture are working under Han Lang, and now the people believe the news revealed by the words spoken by these people. Some big businessmen even paid them to buy them secretly, hoping to get more secret information. These people use it to spread rumors, and it is the most convenient! ”

Chen Shutong laughed dryly, and said with a little hesitation: "I'm afraid this is not too kind, right?" ”

Han Wei rolled his eyes, his body was almost straight in an instant, and he said without hesitation: "Not to mention these corrupt and sour officials forming a party to fight for power, they fell on the face of my mother's book within the twenty-eight counties of the four states, if I endure such an act, wouldn't it be in vain to give birth to this pair of eyebrows?" ”

When Chen Su heard this, he immediately smiled, and Chen Zhe was shocked, and he didn't dare to look at Han Wei when he turned his back, his shoulders were steady, and he didn't dare to let his sister see that he was snickering.

“…… Therefore, it is these people who are not kind in the first place. There is a way to come and not to be rude, and my Han family's family law is not moving like a mountain, moving like thunder. Whether General Li does this right or not, it is General Li's own business, and it has nothing to do with my family. Whether it is the Han family or the Chen family, it is not the fish and meat on the board that can be slaughtered--- it is tolerable or unbearable, if you do the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being a fifteenth ......"

Han Wei talked eloquently, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and the words in his mouth not only did not look like a scholar of a family who had read poetry and books, but it was similar to a certain person who occupied the mountains as kings and fell grass as bandits, Chen Shutong and Chen Zhe, who were listening and watching, looked at each other, and couldn't help but wonder if this was still the gentle and elegant Han family official letter when he proposed marriage?

Only Chen Su stared at her husband with an excited look, her eyes were full of uncontrollable peach hearts, and she was so obsessed that it was as if a post-80s girl had seen Jay Chou alive ----.

"If there is such a big commotion---- I'm afraid it won't end well, right?" Chen Shutong asked worriedly.

"Don't be afraid, when the time comes, you really have to worry about the bad ending, it's the article and others!" Han Wei replied lightly.

Chen Su couldn't help but be a little strange, Chen Zhe also turned his face back, both sisters and brothers looked at Han Wei, this hunchback killing was enough Guan Shu Fang slowly opened his mouth and said: "Just two hours ago, I received a secret letter from Beijing......
