Volume 1 General White Horse Chapter 79 Big Gamble
Hearing this, all the elders present began to discuss, and pointed at Gongsun Zhan and said, "Just this young man? The body is so thin and young, don't really think that if you are reused for a while, you can really deal with Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen, those two are very difficult to deal with. ”
"Put the hope of the entire Gongsun family on this person, this is a big gamble, it's okay to say if you win the bet, if you lose the bet, I'm afraid that our Gongsun family will fall into a place of no return."
"yes, no, I don't agree."
"I don't agree with that either."
The elders were gossiping and proposed to Gongsun Yan.
Gongsun Yan also had concerns, although he thought that Gongsun Chan had great potential, but there was great uncertainty, if he really put the hope of the entire Gongsun family on him, it would really be a big gamble.
If you win the bet, you will also lose Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen, and Gongsun Yan has always insisted that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, so he will support Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen, but put the hope of the entire Gongsun family on Gongsun Chan, that is, put all the eggs in one basket.
This is something he can't accept, but if he loses the bet, then the entire Gongsun family will definitely decline, even if he is there, but how can one person turn the tide, he also knows that he is just a pastor in Youzhou before.
Although he has a certain reputation, compared with those powerful ministers in the court, it can be said that he is a little insignificant, and the fate of the entire Gongsun family is pinned on Gongsun Chan alone, which is a bit big.
Moreover, even if he agrees, as the head of the Gongsun family, can Gongsun Chan withstand this pressure?
But he has been conniving at Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen, and with the characters of these two people, one day the entire Gongsun family will be dragged into the abyss.
Although Youzhou has been quiet and quiet in recent years, this is all a superficial state, but in fact, there are treacherous things behind it, and there is a dark tide surging in secret, which is essentially a game between Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen, the righteous father and son, and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.
In this game, because of the invasion of Xianbei, the imperial court has intervened, and the ten permanent servants are also like tigers and wolves, always watching the situation in Youzhou, but because of the relationship between the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, they have not made a move on Youzhou.
And now the invasion of Xianbei in Youzhou happened to give the ten permanent servants in the court an excuse, so they played first and let Liu He rush back to Youzhou, in the name of defending against foreign enemies with his father Liu Yu.
In fact, it was transferred out of the capital, so as not to let Liu Yu know the situation in the capital at all times.
All the things they did, the original purpose was to target Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, after all, he was a high and powerful person, and he was a member of the Han family, so he had a lot of weight and status in the imperial court, and many ministers were on his side.
He dared to do it, and he was a person who dared to speak out, and when he was in the imperial court, he was quite dissatisfied with these people in the ten permanent servants, and often advised the emperor.
Especially very dissatisfied with the sentence in the emperor's mouth, 'Zhang Changshi is my father, Zhao Changshi is my mother', Liu Yu mentioned this sentence in front of the emperor several times, how can a eunuch be a eunuch, how can he overstep the imperial power.
Because of this, the ten permanent servants held a grudge against him, and when the rebellion in Youzhou broke out, they wrote to the emperor and transferred Liu Yu to Youzhou, wanting to give him a difficult errand, and then detained him in prison for the crime of bullying the king.
Who would have thought that after Liu Yu came to Youzhou, it was smooth sailing, and when it came and went, his son was even reused by the emperor and given the title of servant.
This made the ten permanent servants hate him in their hearts, but they couldn't find a way to frame him, so they shifted their attention to the Taishou of the counties in Youzhou.
If Liu Yu had not been demoted to Youzhou Mu, otherwise the position of Youzhou Mu would have belonged to Gongsun Du, but when Liu Yu came, his Youzhou Mu would be gone, and at that time, he could be said to be the spokesperson of the entire Gongsun family.
Not to mention the infinite scenery, it is still possible to become the youngest Jizhou assassin history, originally Liu Yu went to Youzhou to take up his post, but the ten permanent servants made a move in the imperial court's edict and let Liu Yu go to Jizhou to take office.
This time the two people who had no intersection turned into competitors, which was a great blow to Gongsun Du, he served as a county guard in Youzhou for many years, and finally had the opportunity to be named the assassin of Jizhou, but he couldn't accept it when he killed Liu Yu halfway.
So he repaired a book, sent it to the capital, and informed the imperial court of everything he thought and thought, and the ten permanent servants intercepted this letter, so he planned to let Gongsun Du first serve as the Jizhou Assassin History, and in the six months that he served as the Jizhou Assassin History, the Ten Standing Servants can be said to have done everything they could, and used a lot of ways to make him stumble.
Then he framed Liu Yu again, and deliberately released the news, so that Gongsun Du mistakenly thought that his Jizhou assassin history was deposed, and he had an inseparable relationship with Liu Yu.
Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan wanted to use Gongsun Chan as a pawn to deal with Liu Yu, and the two of them were also other people's pawns.
"The head of the Gongsun family, living in someone else's chess game, this kind of taste is not comfortable." Liu Li saw that Gongsun Yan's expression had changed, and he already knew that Gongsun Yan's heart was shaken.
Gongsun Yan raised his head slightly, his eyes were fierce, as if he was going to eat Liu Li alive.
"Gongsun family master, the stakes are at stake, you have been the pastor of Youzhou for so many years, you must know better than me."
When Gongsun Yan was still the pastor of Youzhou, he had already felt the pressure from the imperial court, and in the entire Youzhou, there were ten permanent servants everywhere.
If he hadn't been careful every step of the way, otherwise he would have been found flawed a long time ago, how could the Ten Standing Servants let him go so easily.
What Gongsun Du and Gongsun Cheng did must be someone behind them pointing them out, otherwise they wouldn't be so confident, wouldn't it be wishful thinking to deal with the entire Youzhou with the power of just two counties.
So in Gongsun Yan's eyes, this road will definitely kill itself, but how to survive in the midst of extinction, especially to preserve the entire Gongsun family, this is a problem that Gongsun Yan has been thinking about all these years.
For this reason, his hair was boiled white, and he never came up with a solution.
He didn't promise Gongsun Du to hand over the entire Gongsun family to him, he was waiting, guarding Liaoxi County and waiting, waiting for the person who could save the Gongsun family to appear.
He admitted that what Liu Li said was indeed a good proposal, so that the entire Gongsun family could be the backer of Gongsun Zhan, support Gongsun Zhan, and help Gongsun Chan make a name for himself in the world.
Moreover, Gongsun Chan is also the son-in-law of the Hou Taishou of Zhuojun, who is appointed by the imperial court, and has a close relationship with those ministers, princes and nobles.
But if he turns against him like this, he will be scolded by the uninformed people of the entire Gongsun family, he is old, he doesn't want to participate in the disturbances of this world anymore, he just wants to live his old age quietly.
But Gongsun Zhan, who broke into breaking the peace of his life, is a young talent, Gongsun Yan frowned, and he was thinking like this and that in his heart, I don't know how long he had been calculating.
Seeing that Gongsun Zhan was reluctant to make a decision, Liu Li gave Gongsun Chan a look, and the bell must be tied to the bell, if Gongsun Zhan, who is the Gongsun family, does not give a positive answer, let him, a person who is not from the Gongsun family, keep saying, it is useless to say that it is useless.
Gongsun Chan comprehended, stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said loudly in front of the elders of the Gongsun family and in front of Gongsun Yan: "Family master, although Bogui is young, I believe that with my ability, I will definitely be able to protect the entire Gongsun family. ”
"Thoughtful? It's easy to say, just by you, your powerful brother and uncle, can't protect the entire Gongsun family, just your little doll, there should be a limit to bragging. ”
When the elders heard this, they blamed Gongsun Zhan one after another: "If you are really good for Gongsun Zhan's family, don't make trouble for us here, it's better to go back to your Nazhuo County as soon as possible, and be your son-in-law of Chenglong, you can't handle the matter here." ”
All the elders of the Gongsun family criticized Gongsun Chan verbally, "Fortunately, Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen are all members of our Gongsun family, otherwise, your performance today, our Gongsun family will suffer." ”
"Stop arguing!"
There was a lot of gossip, and Gongsun Yan became more and more uncomfortable thinking about the problem, so he stomped his foot and said sharply: "You guys try to quarrel again?" Hugh blames the old man for being unkind. ”
His words were obviously addressed to the many elders present, who began to do whatever they wanted, relying on their old age and their status in the Gongsun family.
But Gongsun Yan used to be a pastor in Youzhou, and he knew everything about military discipline, no matter who it was, as long as he quarreled in front of him, he would never be spared.
"You guys, at this age, are still involved in this matter." Gongsun Yan's words were obviously addressed to many elders.
The elders lowered their heads one after another, only feeling that what Gongsun Yan said was reasonable, and at his own age, he was not clear about many of the current situations, so he made decisions and conclusions without authorization, which was the last thing Gongsun Yan was happy to see.
"You all think that Bergui is young and unworthy of the task, but the old man thinks it's the opposite!"
As soon as the words fell, the elders immediately began to discuss.
"The things you are talking about are consistent with the things I am saying."
"Family Master, do you really want to entrust the entire Gongsun family to him?" When one of the elders heard this, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly stood up and asked.
Gongsun Yan nodded affirmatively, "Yes!" The word "Qi Yu Xuan" reflects Gongsun Yan's determination, since he wants to gamble, then gamble.
It's not so much that Gongsun Yan is gambling, or that he's making a choice, making a choice without a choice.
"That's not going to work." Compared to his previous tough tone, the elder's tone was now calmer.
