The words of the old man in armor made the people in the hall whisper again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is also very reasonable, Ezhou Du Shi has been digesting with peace of mind since he won Qi and Huang states more than ten years ago, and has not taken action, but the situation in Qi and Huang states is not very good, especially Huangzhou, which has always been hostile to Du Shi's entry into the host, which also makes the Du family quite a headache.

At present, in addition to the Du family garrison in Ezhou itself, it is the largest garrison in Huangzhou, which is also intended to prevent the rebellion of the local gentry in Huangzhou, but although the Huangzhou gentry are not satisfied with the Du rule, they also know that it is not wise to challenge the Du rule now, so the current situation can be regarded as a stalemate.

In the past ten years, the Du family has not made an inch, and Juniper himself has also been criticized by many people in the clan as not seeking to be motivated and mediocre, and now it is easy to obtain a county in the Central Plains, so he handed it over for nothing, and even took the initiative to give it to the other party, which is a little unacceptable.

Although Juniper has been a little lazy all these years, it does not mean that he is ignorant of the discontent of the clan.

He knows very well that like the current situation of the Du family, often the challenges come from within, but he is also a little weak, he didn't expect that the unintentional move of the third son can actually earn a county for the Du family, although the location of this county is indeed not very good, and the population is small, and the mountains are predominant, but it is still a county, and it is also the Central Plains.

The man in armor is his brother-in-law Zhao Yuanji, who is also the uncle of his eldest son and second son, and is also his important assistant, and his opinion cannot be ignored.

It's just that Juniper also thinks that Lu Xi, as his chief think tank, has the same views as the third son, which probably means that this trip to the troubled waters is best not to mix, which is a bit of a dilemma.

Jun Song hadn't made a decision yet, but he saw a person standing up, "Father, my son thinks that what my uncle said is very true, our Du family has always been despised among the feudal domains, and the main reason is that we are located in the land of the three states of Hubei and Huangqi, but we have little contact with the Central Plains and Shannan and Jianghuai, and we are not well-known in Chang'an." Why Chang'an has been noncommittal to our father to observe the envoy, the son personally thinks that it is because in Chang'an, in Daliang, in the Central Plains, we all feel that our Du family is a remote squire, not qualified to be promoted to the position of observer, look at Nanyang Liu, the post of envoy has already been obtained, it is said that now Liu Tong may be appointed as the envoy of the festival, and the post of envoy may be awarded to Liu Xuan, but our Du family has the land of three states, but failed to obtain a position of observer, what is the reason? It's because we didn't show to prove the existence of our Du family to Chang'an and the feudal domains!"

These words immediately caused a stir in the hall, and Du Shen's words obviously did not stop there.

"Now this is an opportunity, although Yincheng is small, it is the land of the Central Plains, and it involves the game between Daliang and Caizhou, even if we are only involved, it is bound to spread the prestige of our Du family in the Central Plains, whether it is Caizhou or Gushi's final victory, for us can make our Du's reputation to a higher level, why not?"

Du Shen walked to the middle of the hall and bowed solemnly.

"The son implores his father to agree to send troops to garrison Yincheng, Caizhou can become the enemy of our Du family, it is not important now, but we should take this opportunity to show our existence, I believe that with the old scheming of the Yuan family, we will not provoke another enemy at this time, if he Yuan really wants to come, we are not afraid of a war, I believe that the Central Plains and Chang'an can also know the name of our Du family!"

Du Shen's words were categorical and sonorous, and immediately ushered in a round of applause, including Zhao Yuanji, Du Wen and several other family members sitting by the door all clapped their hands in agreement.

I have to admit that Du Shen's words touched the most secret place in Juniper's heart.

The Du family sits on the land of three states, but Chang'an's position to Juniper has always been a pacification envoy.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, the official titles given to local feudal lords began to abuse the market, but after the Huangchao Rebellion, Li Tang was quite cautious about enclosing this position to Jiedu.

In many places, it is difficult to obtain the edict of Chang'an after death, and can only be taken over by the title of the queen, such as the three towns of Heshuo.

And Shannan, Huainan, Liangchuan, and Jiangnan are even more difficult to be recognized, such as the Gwangju Xu family and the Shenzhou Ju family, all of which only received the post of assassin.

Although the Du family owns the land of Sanzhou, but also only obtained a false title of pacification envoy, like the Jiedu envoy naturally does not have to think, although it has been repeatedly written, but the envoy has not been approved, and the second observation envoy has also been on the book for a few years, and there is still no news.

The news from Chang'an is that the Du family lives in Sanzhou, has no achievements, no prestige, and is shallow in virtue, and still needs to be investigated, which also makes Juniper angry, and he has simply not bothered to ring the wooden bell of Chang'an in recent years.

Look at Caizhou Yuan's again, Gwangju will quickly come down after the appointment of Gwangju Thorn History, and Yuan Huaihe's Guangcai Guanfeng envoy will also come down quickly, maybe another year or two of seniority, this appeasement will be able to come down, how can this make Juniper heart balanced.

Now the eldest son has pierced the window paper here, and it suddenly makes Juniper's heart come alive.

It's not that this observation envoy position is very important, but according to the regulations of the late Li Tang Dynasty, the false titles of appeasement envoy and guanfeng envoy are generally given to those who have recently risen in one or two states, and even if there are two states that have been inherited for one or two generations, they can also get an observer.

He Du Shi has been in Qi Huang Erzhou for more than ten years, and his Du family's attitude towards Chang'an is not disrespectful, but he has never been able to get what he wants.

If you are a character like you who is hiding behind and queuing up with your neck curled up and can get the desired position by staying up for qualifications, wouldn't it make others think that this position is nothing more than that, and any cat and dog can get it?

The most typical is that King Liang is clearly the sworn enemy of Chang'an, but so far Chang'an has not said that he does not recognize Zhu Yun's position as King of Liang, without him, because whether you admit it or not, the top spot in the Central Plains is that he Zhu Yun sits down.

Chang'an doesn't admit it, and other feudal lords also have to admit it, this is where the strength and influence are there, and it's the same thing whether to admit it or not.

The white-shirted Confucian and Du Li also realized the initiative of the family at the first time.

This observation has always made Juniper's heart sick, but it must also be admitted that it is precisely because of the appeasement that this position is too virtual, so it has also made Qi and Huang Erzhou have always had objections to the legitimacy and legitimacy of Du's accession, although this is not the main reason, but it is also a good excuse after all.

Du Shen's words were righteous and stern, and they also greatly stimulated the hearts of the rest of the Du family, at this time, Lu Xi and Du Li realized that it was a little inappropriate to be afraid of stopping it again, and it might even hurt Juniper's heart.

However, Lu Xi is also a person who knows this way after all, and he interjected quietly: "San Lang, I think what Da Lang said is quite reasonable, but I see that you are always a little worried between your eyebrows, you might as well say it, this is the time to work together, we must take all the unfavorable factors into account, so as not to have any shortcomings in the future, and it will be too late to make up for it." ”

Du Li secretly cursed Lu Xi, the old slippery head, in his heart, and threw the topic to himself, if he didn't say no, he said it, but he was afraid that it would attract another attack on him, but at this time, he couldn't help it.

"Father, elders, Uncle Lu's inner worries are probably the same as mine, according to what the eldest brother said, we also need to fully support the Gushi Army, money, silver and food naturally needless to say, this garrison in Yincheng, although it has a great reputation, but it also means that we may have to fight with the Caizhou Army, then we may have to be prepared. In addition, if Daliang and we both fully support Gushi, I judge that I am afraid that this time Gushijun may be able to survive this hurdle, but I have contacted Jiang Feng, this person is extremely ambitious, once he gains a firm foothold, he will not be satisfied with the status quo, and it is very likely that he will ask us for Yincheng. I even have a feeling that once this solid is full-fledged, I am afraid that it will also cause us a lot of trouble. ”

Du Li's words immediately attracted the ridicule of the two brothers, and Du Wen said unceremoniously: "San Lang, are you too worried? I think you have become like Ye Gong is a good dragon? At the beginning, you also advocated supporting Gu Shi, and even did not hesitate to use the cavalry army to work for him, and now Gu Shi has the support of Da Liang and wants to start a war with Caizhou, what do you mean by saying this now? What do you really think of our Du family? As for Yin Cheng, it must be controlled in our hands, and Gu Shi Jun They are not qualified to talk nonsense. ”

Du Li also knew that his words would not be pleasing to people, but he couldn't help but say it in his heart, seeing that everyone around him nodded in agreement with the words of the second brother, he could only sigh in his heart, but he was speechless, in a sense, this was originally his own fire, if it was just a scald, I was afraid that in the future, I would become a wolf into the house, or even raise a tiger for trouble, then I am afraid that I will become a sinner.

Now I am afraid that it will be difficult to get the approval of the people present, Du Li can only shut up, wait for it to come down and then exchange opinions with the two brothers, although these two disagree with themselves, but they are not mediocre people, and many times they can see the key to things.

Seeing that everyone's opinions tended to be unanimous, Juniper also sat up straight and cleared his throat, "Okay, I probably know everyone's opinions, as Da Lang said, there are some things that we can't avoid, we have been involved from the beginning, so there is no need to hide it now, it is also necessary to moderately show the prestige of our Du family, the Yincheng garrison is very necessary, I think it is mainly Da Lang, and consider drawing from the Ezhou and Huangzhou garrisons,...... , San Lang, you are still responsible for the contact with the Gu Shijun, and you can negotiate with them for specific money and things, and you must clarify the ownership of Yincheng, and use the book as evidence.
