Danyang County is relatively close to Runan County, and Tao Qian's family and the Runan Yuan family have had exchanges in resources and personnel interests since more than 40 years ago, so Tao Qian himself is still more inclined to the Yuan family.

This kind of relationship is a product of history.

And Yuan Shu's mother's family also had a marriage with the Danyang Tao family, so Tao Qian had a good impression and inclination towards Yuan Shu.

This is another means used by the top wang clans in the Eastern Han Dynasty to collude and stick to their interests, that is, the wang clans have many in-laws with each other, and they have continued from generation to generation, forming an intertwined kinship.

Although many wang clans are not in the same county, if you carefully sort it out, you will find that they are all related to the seven aunts and eight aunts.

Tao Qian and Yuan Shu now have such a relationship.

Sometimes, this relationship influences one's judgment to some extent.

After all, it is now a society where patriarchy and blood are the first priority, and in addition to the clansmen of their own family, the families that are related to their own clansmen are the most reliable.

Tao Qian maintains this old concept.

He is very old, and now his control in Xuzhou is not strong, and there are too many rebel forces in various counties, so he hopes to get help from foreign aid.

Although Tao Qian now hopes that this foreign aid is Yuan Shu, who has no fixed residence, his subordinates do not think so.

Tao Qian relied on the major families in Xuzhou to govern the local area, although he first arrived in Xuzhou, and the speed of integrating local forces in this way was relatively fast, but it also made Xuzhou's authority scattered.

In some ways, the interests of the major families are different from Tao Qian himself.

Among Tao Qian's subordinates, the person he trusted the most was Cao Bao.

Cao Bao was the general who commanded the Danyang Army for Tao Qian, and he himself was born in Danyang County.

Danyang County is now close to the boundary between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and Yuan Cao and Cao have always been one in the eyes of the world.

Therefore, Cao Bao hoped that Tao Qian could unite with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to get assistance from the south and quell the thieves in Xuzhou.

But Wang Lang didn't think so.

Wang Lang studied under Yang Ci in his early years, and was worshiped as Langzhong because he knew the scriptures, and later abandoned the official mourning because of Yang Ci's death, and should not be filial piety.

Tao Qian raised him as a Maocai in Xuzhou, and worshiped him as a member of Xuzhou's governance.

Wang Lang was a teacher from Yang Ci back then, and belonged to the Yang family's protégé of the current Department of Literature, and has more contacts with many ministers in the court today, so it can be said that if Wang Lang stays in the court, he will definitely be prosperous in official fortune, and he will become the third prince sooner or later.

However, Wang Lang is still more ambitious.

For official titles, although he desires, he does not put them first.

His investment in classics and scholarship was far greater than his investment in officialdom and politics.

The person Wang Lang admired the most in his life was not his teacher Yang Ci of the Department of Modern Literature, but the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, who integrated the two schools of ancient and modern literature and founded the Zheng School of Literature.

Although he doesn't say it, Wang Lang has always had an ideal in his heart!

That is, through his own commentary on the scriptures, he searched through hundreds of schools of thought, founded his own theoretical school, and created a unique school like Zheng Xue, combining the strengths of ancient and modern literature...... Wang Xue!

However, Wang Lang did not think that he had the same talent in scripture as Zheng Xuan, and he thought to himself that although his academic attainments were great, he was afraid that he would not be able to create a school that could be comparable to the Zheng Xue created by Zheng Xuan.

Even if he can create Wang Xue, I am afraid that he will be ranked below Zheng Xue.

If he can't rank among the top academics of the Han Dynasty, then Wang Lang would rather start a sect in his own generation than start a sect!

If one generation doesn't work, there will be two generations, and if two generations can't work, there will be three generations!

Lay a good foundation for future generations, and don't believe that your children and grandchildren will not be able to inherit their legacy and create a top-notch academic course!

Although he had great ambitions in his heart, Wang Lang knew that before his own academic achievements were born, he still had to learn from the elders in the academic circles, carefully study their founding experience, learn from each other's strengths, and integrate them into his own doctrine.

In particular, since he is aiming at Zheng Xue, he naturally has to have a good relationship with Zheng Xuemen.

Liu Jiannai is Zheng Xuan's son-in-law, and is also the brother-in-law of Zheng Yi, the next head of Zheng Xue, and now Zheng Xuan and Zheng Yi are both teaching at Hebei University established by Liu Jian.

Liu Jian has this identity, and a famous Confucian like Wang Lang, who is interested in making great achievements in scripture, naturally wants to persuade Tao Qian to lean towards Liu Jian.

Sure enough, when Tao Qian said that he wanted to support Yuan Shu to enter Xuzhou and help him eliminate the bandits, Wang Lang immediately stood up and objected.

"So that you must not act like this, Yuan Highway is now just a dry bone in the tomb, although there are tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, looking at the world is already a place without a cone, and this person has been repeatedly defeated in Hebei, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's hand, his use of military skills is obvious, with this person to Xuzhou, how can he quell the chaos?"

Cao Bao persuaded Tao Qian to let him invite Yuan Shao and others to enter Xuzhou, but Tao Qian always leaned towards Yuan Shu, and Cao Bao was very anxious.

Now that Wang Lang has stood up and spoken, Cao Bao is very happy!

He immediately arched his hand and said: "Look, even the prince said so, then Yuan Highway is coming to Xuzhou, and he can't save Xuzhou!" ”

Tao Qian sighed.

Cao Bao said that it would be okay not to invite Yuan Shu to Xuzhou, after all, Cao Bao was his countryman, and he was a heroic person, and Tao Qian could suppress him.

But after all, Wang Lang is a famous person in the East China Sea, and his status in Xuzhou Shilin is extremely high, and there are countless Xuzhou celebrities and students behind him.

"Jing Xing also thinks it's inappropriate for the old man to invite Yuan Shu to Xuzhou?"

Wang Lang said: "The envoy and a certain person, in the past, were all in Luoyang as a lang, and Yuan Shu acquainted, that Yuan Highway No. Lu Zhong Dry Ghost, although he has the title of a famous family, but there is no famous door, to say a word that is not listening, if it is not for the Anguo Pavilion to wait for a room, so that Yuan Kui was quite inclined to it back then, how can he have a place in the world today?" ”

"Besides, although his position is high, but he has fallen into the situation of today, which shows his ability, so that the king summons him to Xuzhou, one can not determine the disaster of the county, and the other is that Yuan Highway is afraid that he does not want to stand under the envoy after a long time, once he has ambitions, is it not a disaster in Xuzhou?"

Tao Qian was expressionless and asked, "Then according to Jingxing's words, what should happen to Xuzhou?" ”

"According to a certain point of view, Liu Deran, Hebei, is now ordered by the imperial court to be the general of Fuyuan, his people have amazing talents, and the name of benevolence and righteousness is all over the world, Xuzhou has a disaster, so that you can ask for help from General Liu, who sent troops to Xuzhou, will be able to exterminate the thieves, and return my Xuzhou stability!"

Tao Qian picked up the water bowl and took a sip: "What a General Liu...... Jingxing wants to lure Liu Jian into Xuzhou, I'm afraid he has already thought about it, right? ”

Wang Lang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then saw him hurriedly arch his hand and said, "Why did you say this?!! Wang is dedicated to Xuzhou and the foundation of the king, but he has never had two hearts! ”

"Alright, alright."

Tao Qian stretched out his hand to signal Wang Lang to calm down, and then looked at the others present.

"What do you mean?"

At that time, there was also the Eastern Han Dynasty huge rich Mi Zhu, which was engaged in for Tao Qian, and after Wang Lang spoke, he wanted to admonish, but when he saw Tao Qian's sudden squeeze on Wang Lang outside of his words, after a little thought, he stopped admonishing.

Tao Qian looked around at the people present and sighed: "Could it be that no one can share the worries of the old man so far?" ”

With that, he suddenly looked at the top elder on his left.

"Brother Han Yu, why don't you say anything?"

The person Tao Qian looked at was the famous scholar family in Xuzhou - Chen Qi.

Chen Qi is now sitting in the closest position to Tao Qian, not because he is the most powerful in Xuzhou, but when it comes to reputation and family power, or the inheritance of the family in the officialdom, the Chen family is far above all the families.

is Wang Lang, but he is only higher than Chen Qi in the name of learning.

First of all, Chen Qi is a descendant of the Gong family, both the descendants of the three princes family, and there are more than 2,000 stone high-ranking officials in his family in modern times, and there are three princes Chen Qiu in the upper generation of his clan, and the 2,000 stones of this generation have Wujun Taishou Chen Yu, Ruyin Taishou Chen Cong, and Chen Jue himself was also Jibei Xiang and Pei Xiang in the past.

When Chen Qi saw Tao Qian asking himself, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, it was coming at me.

He never thought about who to lead into Xuzhou......

Using Yuan Shu as an introduction and throwing up this question is just because Yuan Shu and I are thick.

This Tao Gongzu ......

Chen Qi said to Tao Qian very solemnly: "Envoy, according to a certain person, although there are many rebellions in the counties of Xuzhou, they are all diseases of scabies, so that the ability of the monarch can be determined." ”

When Tao Qian heard this, he smiled with satisfaction.

"The matter of bringing in foreign aid will be discussed later."

……

Subsequently, all the Xuzhou adjutants went out and said goodbye to each other.

But Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang and others are outside the official office.

"Brother, why did you summon everyone so urgently?"

Mi Zhu sneered: "What else can it be?" Test! ”

"Temptation?"

"He is sixty years old, and he knows that his time is short, and he has doubts about the future belonging of Xuzhou, so he uses foreign aid to test everyone."

Mi Fang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Xuzhou belongs? Xuzhou is the foundation of the Han family and not anyone's private property, although Tao Gongzu is stubborn, but he doesn't even understand this ideal? ”

Mi Zhu smiled: "If it was replaced by a few years ago, it might be so, but if you look at the current world, which of these people who occupy big states does not regard the state and county as their own inheritance?" The world has long been in chaos. ”
