Volume 1 General White Horse Chapter 80
"Why not?" Gongsun Yan asked sharply.
Shocked by Gongsun Yan's reprimand, the elders looked at each other, in their impression, Gongsun Yan was not such an impulsive person, why did he meet Gongsun Chan and Liu Li today, but they changed as if they were different people.
"I hope the head of the family will think twice."
But if the fate of the entire Gongsun family is put in the hands of Gongsun Chan alone, these elders will not agree to anything, and the Gongsun family is not only Gongsun Yan alone, but also the elders.
When one's own interests are at risk of being damaged, no matter who they are, even if they respect Gongsun Yan, they will definitely turn their faces.
"Gongsun Yan!" One of the elders had a violent temper, slammed the table, stood up, and shouted, "As the head of the Gongsun family, do you want to put the safety of the family at risk? ”
The elder next to him also stood up and echoed: "It's just a Gongsun Zhan, he is true of the Gongsun family, but he comes from a humble background, how can he be worthy of being the head of the family!" ”
There are also some elders who support Gongsun Yan's decision: "Since the head of the family has decided so, then listen to the head of the family." ”
"Yes, after so many years, even if it's really wrong, it's wrong."
"It is precisely because of the presence of the head of the family that the Gongsun family can have today's status, and I also listen to the head of the family."
These elders spoke for Gongsun Yan, which also made Gongsun Yan feel quite pleased.
The crowd was arguing, some agreeing and some disagreeing.
Seeing that everyone had been discussing for a long time, Gongsun Yan couldn't come up with a solution, he walked to the center of the hall and waved his hand to everyone, after all, he was the head of the Gongsun family, no matter how many of these elders had opinions on this matter, they would still sell him a face.
But he saw him say loudly: "Elders, the old man is now announcing one thing, the old man will designate the next master of the Gongsun family, that is, the Taishou Gongsun Zan of Liaoxi County!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, originally these elders thought that Gongsun Yan was just joking, but they didn't expect it to be serious.
But seeing these elders standing up in unison, they persuaded one after another: "Family master, this matter must not be allowed!" ”
Gongsun Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't argue about this matter, Bo Gui is young and promising, the old man is optimistic about him, he is the most powerful candidate for the head of the Gongsun family." ”
Gongsun Chan became the head of the Gongsun family, which is also what Liu Li is happy to see, after all, although Gongsun Zhan's surname is Gongsun and he was born in the Gongsun family, he has been in Zhuo County since he was a child, and he does not know much about the situation in Liaoxi County, and because the relationship between Gongsun Du, Gongsun Chen and Liu Yu is not harmonious.
Let the people of Liaoxi County only feel that the trusted county guards are the same as the previous county guards, and they will be dismissed after a while, and more importantly, Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen will make trouble behind their backs.
Therefore, for Gongsun Zhan, just the identity of the Taishou of Liaoxi County is not enough for him to establish authority in Liaoxi County, even if he becomes the head of the Gongsun family, there are naturally many people who will disagree with him.
But because it was Gongsun Yan who gave him the position of head of the family, and the elders supported him, even if some of the younger juniors in the Gongsun family were unconvinced, they had to talk about it behind their backs, and they would definitely not dare to say it in person.
But Gongsun Yan dared to bet, and the other elders didn't dare to gamble, so they came out to persuade: "Family master, is the fate of the entire Gongsun family tied to him, is there no one in our Gongsun family?" ”
"In terms of qualifications and prestige, among the elders present, which one is not better than Gongsun Zhan, in terms of ability and means, then Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen are both good hands, but in terms of pattern and future, everyone, who is sure that they will be able to protect the Gongsun family in the future game."
As soon as they heard this, all the elders suddenly quieted down and looked at each other, they all knew very well that the current situation in Youzhou, although the Gongsun family was famous and powerful, but their arms could not twist their thighs, no matter how powerful they were, they could only be in the land of three counties, and in terms of strength alone, there was a difference of 108,000 miles from Liu Yu.
And with Liu Yu's reputation in the world, he only needs to raise his arms to call out the world's famous generals to deal with the Gongsun family.
Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen knew this, but they still wanted to continue to go their own way, and if they continued like this, they would only push the Gongsun family to a dead end.
The elders who had originally stood up one after another, intending to oppose Gongsun Yan, had all sat down at this time, shook their heads and sighed, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, can we just sit and wait for death?" ”
"Yes, I expect this little doll to lead the Gongsun family out of the predicament, and the head of the family is really, I don't know what to think."
Although they did not oppose Gongsun Yan, they revealed their distrust of Gongsun Chan in and out of their words.
After all, Gongsun Yan, who is the head of the Gongsun family, is also vague and has no confidence in recommending Gongsun Zhan, otherwise with his character, he will never let what these elders do and say.
Liu Li saw that everyone's opinions were not unified, he slowly stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "The head of the Gongsun family, when the judgment continues, but suffer from the chaos, I heard that the ten permanent servants of the imperial court are in turmoil, but I have noticed the situation in Youzhou." ”
Hearing the name of the Ten Standing Attendants, Gongsun Yan was slightly stunned, and then looked at Liu Li with an incredible gaze, the name of the Ten Standing Servants resounded all over the world, and the people of the world were both in awe and afraid of the name of the Ten Standing Attendants.
After all, the minions of the ten permanent servants are all over the world, doing evil and bullying people, causing the people to complain and panic.
Not only in the state and county, in the government, in the market and other places, the minions of the ten permanent servants are also all over, endangering the people here, this place in Youzhou is better, there is Liu Yu here, he is righteous and awe-inspiring, loves the people like a son, and usually does not deal with the ten permanent servants, because of his identity as a clan member of the Han family, the ten permanent servants have no choice but to do it, let alone these minions.
Liu Yu is naturally unceremoniously, remove these minions, the whole Youzhou will become so harmonious, and these news will naturally reach the ears of the ten permanent servants in the court, so these people will be quite dissatisfied with Liu Yu, and they will try their best to drag Liu Yu down from the position of Youzhou pastor.
"Li Gongzi, what is the purpose of saying this?" Gongsun Yan pretended to be calm, his words trembled slightly, obviously the three words of the Ten Constant Servants frightened him, he had seen the methods of the Ten Permanent Servants when he was still a pastor in Youzhou before.
But he is not as courageous as Liu Yu, he dares to remove all the minions of the ten permanent servants, he does not have the ability, nor does he have the guts, he does not dare to offend the ten permanent servants, because of this, coupled with the contradictions between Gongsun Du, Gongsun Chen and Liu Yu, so for the three counties of Liaoxi County, Liaodong County, and Xuansu County, Liu Yu is in a state of free-range.
Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chen have long colluded with the Ten Standing Servants, and they are naturally willing to distribute the minions of the Ten Standing Servants in Liaodong County and Xuansu County, although it is impossible to restrict Liaoxi County, but they are putting pressure on Gongsun Yan openly and secretly, after all, Liaoxi County is still decided by Gongsun Yan, the head of the Gongsun family.
Obviously, Gongsun Yan couldn't resist the pressure from the ten permanent servants of the imperial court, so he also agreed to the ten permanent servants and let their minions infiltrate into Liaoxi County.
For so many years, Liu Yu has turned a blind eye to this matter, but now, this situation has changed, and Liu Yu actually appointed Gongsun Zan as the Taishou of Liaoxi County and asked him to come to govern Liaoxi County.
This news was spread by the minions to the ears of the ten permanent servants of the imperial court, and they began to get anxious, because Gongsun Chan was a member of the Gongsun family, and Gongsun Du and Gongsun Cheng were their first moves.
But who would have thought that Gongsun Chan would not give these two people any face, and even Gongsun Yan, the head of the Gongsun family, did not give them face, of course, they all belonged to the juniors and could not restrain Gongsun Yan.
And Gongsun Yan actually chose to help Gongsun Zhan, which was something that the Ten Standing Servants did not expect.
Because of this, the ten permanent servants were quite curious about this matter, and in the imperial court, several ten permanent servants were also discussing what kind of ability the newly appointed Liaoxi County Taishou Gongsun Zan had to make Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and the head of the Gongsun family take a fancy to him at the same time.
In Chang'an City, one person was hunched up, his voice was sharp and piercing, and the other person was standing aside, respectful to this person.
"Feng Changshi, this palace sent you to Youzhou, do you have any opinions?"
"Everything is up to Master Zhang."
...
Youzhou, right Beiping County.
This day was an extraordinary day, the dignified Youzhou Mu Liu Yu actually sat in the guest seat, and Liu He was just standing aside.
The person in the main seat looked treacherous and evil, and he also carried a jade ring on his index finger with the word 'loyalty' engraved on it, he held his hand, cocked his orchid finger, and gracefully picked up the teacup on the table, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip.
His face changed, and he immediately put down the teacup, and his voice was more sharp and harsh: "Lord Liu, the tea in your house is bitter and astringent, and the taste in the tea has been taken up, it's time to change it." ”
"That's what the Feng Chang said."
"Lord Liu, Lord Zhang asked me to bring you a message and ask how you are doing recently."
Hearing Lord Zhang in Feng Yu's mouth, Liu Yu hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Thank you Lord Zhang, Liu Yu has been in a good condition recently." ”
Feng Zhen raised his head slightly, glanced at Liu Yu, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu don't need to be nervous, Lord Zhang heard that Youzhou has not been peaceful recently, so let me take a look." ”
Said to see, his purpose is by no means so simple, open his mouth and close his mouth to Zhang Daren, and the Zhang in Feng Zhen's mouth refers to the head of the ten permanent servants in the imperial court, Zhang Rang, who was called by the emperor "Zhang Changshou is my father".
Although Liu Yu is at odds with him, he still has to give the face that should be given, otherwise, it means that he has another handle on Zhang Rang's side.
Now when internal and external troubles are in place, Liu Yu must be extremely careful, since he has the world in his heart, he must protect himself first in order to better benefit the world.
After speaking, as soon as Feng Zhen stretched out his hand, the people around him hurriedly came up and helped Feng Zhen up, he looked like a normal person.
He stood up slowly, and Liu Yu and Liu He hurriedly stepped aside.
