Chapter 470: Civil Strife
In the center of Wu County, there is a mansion with a strong atmosphere, which is the nominal domination of Wu County, Wu County Taishou Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared with the luxurious mansions of the Gu family, although it is majestic, it is far less magnificent than the main mansions of the four major families, and the layout is much smaller.
Wu Jun Taishou, who lives here now, is the same person who went to Yizhou with Liu Feng to explore the virtual and real Huiji Shengxian Sheng Xiaozhang. After returning from Yizhou that year, he was promoted to the Taishou of Wu County because of his merits, and it has been six or seven years since then. Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, his control over the place has not been as good as before, and no one has mentioned the replacement of Wu County's Taishou anymore, if it is possible, he really doesn't want to stay here.
The reason is unknown, but it is really aggrieved here. Wu County, which is dominated by the four major families, does not allow outsiders to interfere at all. In particular, he is still a member of the Ji Ren clan, in terms of the feud between Wu and Yue, he has been safe and sound in the past few years, and he has not been expelled by the Wu people, which is already because his reputation has always been better.
The passion for the initial promotion was gradually worn out here, and sometimes he even thought that he would rather not be a member of this 2,000-stone officer, but be a Langguan in the court with peace of mind. Although the rank is relatively low, he can often come into contact with the Son of Heaven and the Three Princes and Jiuqing, and he will not be so cowardly outside. When Liu Feng went north to meet the alliance and Dong passed here, he expressed his intention to return to his hometown after illness. It was Liu Feng who persuaded him and asked him to wait a few more years, and he has stayed until now.
To this day, looking back, it is fortunate that he was released at the beginning, if he really continued to stay in Luoyang, he still doesn't know what the result would be! In the place where hundreds of officials in Luoyang are concentrated, there are many petty officials of his level, and there are many people who have been killed by Dong Zhuo and the leaders of the Xiliang Army and even died by the war for no reason, and who has said a word more about this. To this day, there are still a large number of officials living under the obscenity of the Xiliang Army, and the day is precarious.
In fact, he has been staying here, and he has not lost the pleasure of revenge for occupying his seat, if he really leaves like this, wouldn't it be a cheap Wu person for nothing. Sheng Xian is a gentleman, but once a gentleman decides something, his decision cannot be easily changed. In the past few years, I don't know how many methods Wu Ren has used to want him to take the initiative to resign, but he is unmoved when he has an idea in his heart.
He is in Wu County, he has no power, except for controlling a tens of thousands of troops that have been painstakingly made by the successive Taishou, there is nothing else, and the various adjutants of the Taishou are controlled by the Wu County clan, and the officers at all levels of the army are also from the Wu County clan, and even the city gate of Wu County is guarded by people from several big families in Wu County. His decree couldn't get out of the Taishou Mansion at all, and was directly ignored by the Wu County clan.
But on the surface, the Wu County clan did a good job, respected him very much, and looked like a horse's head, so that even if he wanted to use the power of the people to criticize the Wu County clan, he couldn't do it, and he could only stay in the Taishou Mansion every day to cultivate his self.
Some may envy this kind of life, but it is definitely ironic for the officials in charge.
Now, Sheng Xian is in the courtyard of the Taishou Mansion, under the service of an old servant, practicing calligraphy.
Seeing this, a subordinate who came in a hurry stopped from afar, not daring to come forward to disturb.
"Ah Fu, how about these words?" Finally, Sheng Xian put down his pen and asked his old servant.
"Master's words have always been good." The old man said with a smile.
"As much as I can pat myself on, 'dormant standby', now that's all I can do, but I've really practiced to the level." Sheng Xian smiled, turned his head to look at the subordinate in the distance, "Let him come over!" ”
"Meet Taishou-sama." When he was called, he saluted.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Sheng Xian asked as he washed his hands.
"If you go back to your lordship, the heads of the Gu family, the Zhu family, and the Zhang family in the city have come to visit, and they are now waiting in the hall." The man hurried back.
"Oh, together with the door?" Sheng Xian paused for a moment, a little surprised, but immediately returned to normal, "I know, go and entertain well, just say that the official will come after dressing." ”
The man left in response, but Sheng Xian said to himself: "I can't help it so soon, I thought you could be reserved, and when the Zhiyuan army arrives, you will come to ask for surrender!" ”
Of course he knew the news of Liu Feng's march into Wu County, and he also knew that the Battle of Wuxi had ended, and Tai Shici was besieging the city, so in the past few days, his mood has improved a lot. Because of years of waiting, it is finally time to come to fruition.
……
In the side hall of the Taishou Mansion, the three family masters who had been rewarded watched the subordinate of the Taishou Mansion leave, and their faces were not good, and the Zhu family master was short-tempered, and he snorted coldly.
"Forget it, now that we have something to ask for, don't care about these little things." The head of the Gu family said, "Sheng Xiaozhang has been depressed in the past few years, so it's good for him to vent his sulk." ”
"Huiji people are not good things, Sheng Xiaozhang looks like a gentleman on the surface, and now I don't know how proud he is, at least forgive us for half an hour to show his importance." The head of the Zhu family said angrily, "In the past, how dare he make us wait?" It's better to get him out sooner! ”
"Uncle Zhu, if you really want to drive him away, now who will come forward to contact Liu Feng to discuss the matter of taking refuge. Or are you willing to go to Lu's house to hire someone? When it came time to lose face, the Zhang family advocated Yun to consider himself a junior.
"Humph!" The head of the Zhu family also stopped talking and waited quietly.
The head of the Zhu family guessed wrong, Sheng Xian had already come over at the time of the tea-he really went to change his clothes before coming.
"The three of you are visiting together, I don't know what you are doing?" After greetings, Sheng Xian asked directly. For these people, he didn't have the heart to be perfunctory, and went straight to the point.
"I'm here today to expose the traitor to Lord Taishou, and I ask Lord Taishou to preside over the rebellion." The three of them glanced at each other, and the head of the Gu family spoke on behalf of the three of them.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Sheng Xian was a little surprised, he was a righteous gentleman, he was not very good at conspiracy and trickery, and he didn't understand what the Gu family master meant.
"Yes, please Taishou-sama preside over the rebellion." The head of the Gu family said word by word, "General Liu is a relative of the Han family, and he is the prince and the prince, and it is the people's desire to govern Jiangdong. However, there are people who are secretly plotting to make trouble and quietly assembling troops to disadvantage General Liu, so we have come to ask Lord Taishou to come forward and preside over the rebellion. ”
Sheng Xian's mouth opened wide when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that these three people actually came with this kind of thought, and he couldn't think of anything else for a while, so he could only sigh in his heart that these people were cheeky and said such dirty things so openly.
But since they said so, Sheng Xian was also happy to cooperate, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "This official first thanked a few Gao Yi for Zhiyuan, but I don't know who are the people who are plotting to make trouble?" ”
"Your Excellency, look at it, here's the list." Zhang Yun took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Sheng Xian with both hands.
Sheng Xian took it and opened it, and when he saw the name on it, he was secretly surprised, and wondered if there was a civil strife between the Wu County clans. Although the people on this list are not strong in Wu County, they are also one of the big clans, especially the Xu family, in addition to the four major families, they can be ranked in the top few, and they are also on the list, and Xu Gong's name is at the top of the list.
If the people who participated in the discussion of major matters at the beginning saw this list, they would find that these people were the same people who were in the Gu family's lobby and did not approve of surrender and left, and none of them were bad.
The behavior of the three family heads undoubtedly shows that after the split of the Lu family, there was once again infighting between the Wu clans. (To be continued.) )
