Chapter 346: The Desire for Power No one is immune
The Fufeng Fa clan and the Chen Liuwu clan are both scholars, and it is normal for the same scholar clan to sometimes help each other.
But in the same way, if a scholar has received a favor from another scholar before, then according to the style of the scholar clan of the world, this favor must be repaid by looking for an opportunity.
There are contacts in order to achieve the same qi and branches.
Wu Yi has been in the world for many years, and he can now see that Fa Miao's comers are not good.
But he was born in a scholar clan, and he had no way or no courage to break the unspoken rules between this scholar clan.
In this case, it was natural for Wu Yi to reluctantly agree to Fa Miao's invitation.
This is also the reason why Mi Yang sent Fa Miao to invite Wu Yi.
Among the current subordinate officials of Mi Yang, Fa Miao is not the most skillful, but his background is the best.
The background of the world's famous families can make it easy for Fa Miao to do some things.
Fa Miao is a person who is not good at words, and since the task given to him by Mi Yang has been completed, he has no thoughts left in his heart.
After Fa Miao bowed to the Wu brothers, he revealed his farewell.
Originally, Wu Yi wanted to see Fa Miao in person, but his kindness was politely rejected by Fa Miao.
Before the Wu brothers could react, Fa Miao left the living room on his own.
After Fa Miao left, the loyal smile on Wu Yi's face that had been hanging all year round disappeared in an instant.
Compared with the change in Wu Yi's expression, Wu Ban's reaction was even more intense after Fa Miao left.
Wu Ban raised the wine glass in his hand, and after a quick drink, due to the anger in his heart, he slammed the empty wine glass in his hand on the eucalyptus in front of him.
With the loud sound of the wine glass colliding with the eucalyptus, Wu Ban's mouth was also full of unconvinced complaints:
"The three nobles of the state dynasty have always been held by the scholars and talents.
Although Famanjushri is still young, it is reasonable that he came from a famous family and inherited his father's honors.
Lu Jiyang was also born in a famous family in Nanyang, and he has a lot of political voices in Hanxing, so I can still understand that he is the governor of the central government.
As for that Deng Ai!
He came from a humble background, he was disabled, and he was not as good as Ding Feng, Zhang Wei and others who had military exploits, so why did he hold the post of chief bookkeeper.
Is it just Mi Yang's favor for him?
As soon as the state pastor took office, he was like this nepotism and reused the fortunate ministers, is it a good thing for me in Liangzhou? ”
Because of the anger in his heart, Wu Ban had a lot of complaints in his mouth.
And Wu Ban's disdain for Deng Ai in his words can be said to be obvious.
Wu Yi clearly listened to Wu Ban's every complaint, but he just drank the wine silently and did not rashly respond to Wu Ban's words.
It's just that the unevenness that occasionally flashed in Wu Yi's eyes invisibly revealed the true thoughts in his heart.
In the impression of many people, Wu Yi's personality is quite loyal and not good at fighting with others, but that is just that most people don't know Wu Yi.
Wu Yi was a native of Chenliu County, Yanzhou, and his uncle Wu Kuang was a subordinate officer of the Eastern Han Dynasty general He Jin.
In addition to his uncle's previous important positions, many members of the Chen Liuwu clan also served as officials in various parts of the Central Plains.
According to the normal development, Wu Yiruo has been staying in the Central Plains with his family prestige, and he is not worried about having no way out.
But decades ago, the still young Wu Yi made a jaw-dropping move.
After Liu Yan moved to Yizhou as pastor, Wu Yi took his whole family to Shu with Liu Yan.
Although the reason that Wu Yi was nominally looking for at that time was that Liu Yan had a good relationship with his father, in fact Wu Yi's original intention was not like this.
It is true that there were many scholars who came to Yizhou from the north to join Liu Yan, and it was precisely because of those scholars that a special political force was formed in Yizhou, the Dongzhou faction.
However, the vast majority of the officials of the Dongzhou faction were forced to enter Yizhou in order to flee, and the scholars who took the initiative to follow Liu Yan out of the center of China and into Yizhou like Wu Yi can be said to be unique.
And Wu Yi is not like this, he moved his entire family into Yizhou.
You must know that the most important thing for the scholar clan is the prestige in the hometown, which is the most valuable wealth accumulated by the ancestors of the clan for generations and left to the descendants.
What's more, the idea of relocating to the land was very strong in the Han Dynasty.
Unless there is a danger to the lives of the people of the world, they will not make such a move.
In this case, Wu Yi resolutely made such a big sacrifice, his idea was definitely not simple.
People are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, if there are not enough benefits, Wu Yi has no reason to do so.
And what Wu Yi wanted at that time was actually simple.
At that time, Liu Yan was the pastor of Yizhou, which was equivalent to the soil emperor of Yizhou, and it was Liu Yan who Wu Yi took a fancy to.
The family followed Liu Yan into Shu, which was just a speculative behavior of Wu Yi.
Wu Yi is a person who is good at speculation and dares to speculate.
If it weren't for this, Wu Yi's sister would not have been able to become Liu Mao and Liu Bei's wife later.
Those who are good at speculation must have a strong desire for power.
Others may not know Wu Yi very well, but Wu Ban, who has followed Wu Yi since he was a child, of course knows that his brother is definitely not as pure-hearted as he is now.
So after saying that, Wu Ban continued to say to Wu Yi:
"Brother, the state pastor doesn't take you seriously in this arrangement."
Wu Ban's words revealed the true thoughts in his heart.
The complaint in his heart was still under the guise of worrying about the future of Liangzhou, and now seeing that Wu Yi did not react to his words, Wu Ban could only no longer hide his true thoughts.
Wu Ban's real idea is: The state dynasty is three nobles, no matter how you say it, there should be a piece of Wu Yi's pie.
In fact, it is normal for Wu Ban to have this kind of thought.
It is true that now Wu Yi is the general of Zhengbei and the Taishou of Hanzhong, after Wei Yan was deprived of military power by Mi Yang, Wu Yi is already the second most powerful person in the Liangzhou military, and he is a high-ranking official of 2,000 stones.
But in the Han Dynasty, there was never such a thing as separation of military and government.
Han people generally take into account both military and political aspects when they hold important positions, which is also one of the symbols of the Han people's high status.
This is a tradition of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Han people.
Moreover, the official position of the Han Dynasty has a very important feature, that is, the importance of power is not the importance of position.
Although the three positions of Don't Drive, Zhizhong, and Chief Bookkeeper are only officials of a thousand stones, the power held in these three positions is difficult not to make Wu Ban feel tempted.
Only by entering the state dynasty can it be counted as one of the card characters of Shangliang State.
Otherwise, no matter how much power you have in your hands now, it will be like a flower in a mirror, and it is not safe.
At present, in the entire Liangzhou, Wu Yi is no less than anyone in terms of origin, and Wu Yi is only below Wei Yan and Mi Yang in terms of prestige.
So Wu Ban couldn't figure out how Mi Yang could not let Wu Yi become one of the three nobles of the state dynasty.
In particular, Wu Ban was even more angry at Mi Yang's move of letting Deng Ai climb onto the head of his Wu brothers.
After thinking about it, Wu Ban could only come to the conclusion that Mi Yang did not put Wu Yi in his eyes.
Wu Ban has this layer of anger in his heart, how could Wu Yi not have it?
It's just that compared to Wu Ban, Wu Yi is more angry about not being able to hold more power.
After listening to Wu Ban's words, Wu Yi let out a heavy cold snort from his mouth:
"That's enough."
Although Wu Yi's words were preventing Wu Ban from continuing to speak, it could be seen from his tone that he was also in a very bad mood now.
Obviously, Wu Ban Fangcai's words had an effect.
Wu Yi was still very dignified in front of Wu Ban, and seeing that Wu Yi was angry, Wu Ban stopped saying anything about this matter in a timely manner.
It's just that Wu Ban has doubts in addition to anger in his heart at this time.
Wu Ban asked Wu Yi puzzled: "Brother thinks that the state pastor sent Fa Miao to invite you and my brother to the banquet, what is his intention?" ”
Wu Ban's doubts also made Wu Yi shift his attention to this matter.
Judging from Mi Yang's personnel arrangements for the state dynasty, it is obvious that he has no good impression of himself and Wu Ban, if this is the case, he will suddenly invite himself and Wu Ban to a banquet?
And judging from Mi Yang's act of sending Fa Miao to invite, Mi Yang undoubtedly made up his mind to let him go to the banquet.
Mi Yang's actions made Wu Yi feel some doubts in his heart.
Of course, although there is a precedent for Mi Yang to set up a banquet to arrest Shen Tan, Wu Yi and Wu Ban will not suspect that Mi Yang wants to be unfavorable to them.
The situation is different, and Mi Yang has no reason to do so.
Unless Mi Yang wants to rebel.
And this suspicion is undoubtedly ridiculous.
But it is precisely because of this reason that Wu Yi is even more puzzled.
However, Wu Yi didn't dwell too much on this matter, he just said to Wu Banyan: "As long as we have military power, he must be afraid before doing anything." ”
Hearing Wu Yi say this, a smile appeared on Wu Ban's face, and an emotion of reliance began to rise in his heart.
Military power is the biggest capital that allows the Wu brothers to stand firm in several power changes.
And Wu Yi saw a smile on Wu Ban's face, but somehow, the sensitivity he had cultivated over the years made him faintly worry in his heart.
Wu Yi, who was restless, slowly got up and came to the door of the living room with his hands in his hands, his eyes were looking in the direction of the state pastor's mansion.
Thinking that Mi Yang might have some plans brewing in the state pastor's mansion, the uneasiness in Wu Yi's heart became more and more intense.
Wu Yineng led Chen Liuwu to this day step by step in the troubled times, and his methods are naturally not to be underestimated.
Thinking of the transactions he had made in the past, and the ups and downs he had experienced in the past, Wu Yi inadvertently let out a sigh.
He is not a great traitor, he is just a layman with a desire for power, and people like him abound in the world today.
It's just that Wu Yi thought that in the past, whenever he made some sacrifices and was supported, he often couldn't get what he wanted most.
Originally, with his relationship with Liu Yan, he was the leader of the Dongzhou faction.
But what he never expected was that as some characters gradually showed their talents later, his position as the leader of the Dongzhou faction began to become unstable.
After Fa Zheng was born, he was completely removed from the throne of the leader of the Dongzhou faction.
Later, he joined Liu Bei in time, and helped his sister Wu to the position of Liu Bei's wife through trading, thinking that he would be able to completely raise his eyebrows from now on.
But what he didn't expect was that when he chose to be the governor of Hanzhong, even if Liu Bei abandoned Zhang Fei and didn't use it, he still didn't let him become the governor of Hanzhong, but on the contrary, he suddenly promoted Wei Yan to climb on top of him.
After waiting for Wei Yan to leave, Wu Yi thought that he could finally straighten out, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to arrange Mi Yang to become Liangzhou Mu again, so that he could become the second-in-command again.
Could it be that he is the second thousand-year-old man's life?
But he's a relative!
Thinking of this, Wu Yi's heart was full of unwillingness.
Maybe it's time to write a letter urging the queen to be more friendly with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
If the first lord dies, the young lord is in the court, and the queen mother is often regent, which is a political tradition since the Han Dynasty.
Maybe that day is the time for him Wu Yi to really rise.
...
Time always flies.
The day has come when Mi Yang feasted the ministers of Liangzhou.
Early this morning, Mi Yang got up and freshened up under Guan Yan's service.
Mi Yang has a lot of maids, but compared to letting the maids serve him, Mi Yang still likes to let Guan Yan come.
Mi Yang enjoyed the feeling of his wife taking care of everything for him.
Of course, Guan Yan also enjoys these things.
When Guan Yan was sorting out Mi Yang's clothes, Guan Yan whispered to Mi Yang:
"General Zhengbei and Fujun are both relatives, and they have a deep prestige in Hanzhong, why should Fujun be in such a hurry to seize his military power?"
As Mi Yang's other think tank, Guan Yan naturally knew the purpose of Mi Yang's banquet today.
It's just that Guan Yan, who has a gentle temperament, doesn't agree with Mi Yang's somewhat radical approach.
Guan Yan felt that as long as Wu Yi'an had some shares, it was not necessary to take away his military power.
After listening to Guan Yan's doubts, some smiles appeared on the corners of his mouth.
The purpose of his feast today is already known to some of his henchmen.
It's just that those henchmen did not admonish Mi Yang after knowing his intentions, either out of welcome, or out of selfishness, or out of indifference.
Only his wife, Guan Yan, will not hesitate to express the different opinions in her heart.
Faced with Guan Yan's doubts, Mi Yang asked Guan Yan rhetorically: "Can you know why I vetoed Manjushri's proposal and didn't let Wu Yi become the governor of Liangzhou?" ”
Seeing Mi Yang suddenly ask herself, Guan Yan's hand to clean up Mi Yang's collar abruptly, and her little face showed a look of surprise at the right time.
Guan Yan's studious and knowledge-seeking appearance caused Mi Yang to laugh, and he pinched Guan Yan's little face and said:
"Wu Yi is not my confidant, and he has a heavy army in his hands, if he is allowed to have the right to govern again, he will inevitably be hindered by the scholar clan in the future.
Maybe Wu Yi has a turbulent heart and won't do anything to hinder me.
But for me, someone on the side of the couch holding a blade without a blade may have the same result, but it's two different things.
Just like in Hanxing County, I want to do my own thing, not have scruples. ”
Hearing Mi Yang say this, Guan Yan nodded as if she didn't understand.
Maybe she's smart by nature, but she still doesn't know enough about some things.
Mi Yang is also a layman, he has always been a person with a strong desire for power, and this has never changed.
Within a reasonable range, Mi Yang will never give up the opportunity to hold all power.
After listening to Mi Yang's words, Guan Yan's face showed some enlightenment, but she still continued to ask: "General Zhengbei is also a talent, is it true that the husband will abandon him from now on?" ”
Faced with Guan Yan's question, Mi Yang just smiled and did not answer.
By this time his clothes were almost in order, and he lifted the sword in the hand of the maid beside him, and walked towards the banquet hall.
Whether you use it or not, it depends on Wu Yi's next performance.
