Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 231
As soon as the team arrived in Jurong, they ran into the members of the princess mansion who had been waiting here for a long time.

After a simple courteous meeting, Shen Zhezi asked his family minister Diao Yuan and Jia Ling Renqiu to get on the bullock cart together, and asked about the current situation in the capital.

Diao Yuan's memory of the methods of this son-in-law is still fresh, and it is still hard to take it lightly when thinking about it.Especially after the emperor passed away, he almost had no way to leave the Princess Mansion. It can be said that the honor and disgrace of the rest of his life will be tied to this. Therefore, when facing Shen Zhezi again, Diao Yuan will inevitably be more restrained.

Ren Qiu knew Shen Zhezi's temperament quite well, and after getting in the car, he talked about the current situation in the capital.

Emperor Daxing will be buried in the afternoon tomorrow, and the coffin will be left for ten days. After that, he will set up a sacrifice to the Taimiao and be buried in the northern Wuping Mausoleum of Jiankang City.Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, wars have continued and peace has not lasted long, so even the emperor's funeral can only be kept simple.

In addition to the national funeral arrangements, Taichung has revealed a lot of information about the follow-up arrangements, the most important of which is that Fang Zhen is not allowed to enter the capital for funerals.The enthronement ceremony of the new emperor will not be held immediately, but will be merged with the new emperor after the year.Before that, everything went according to the old system.

From these arrangements, it can be seen that the power of the central government is weak now, and neither Yu Liang nor Dao Wang, who are in power, have much confidence in the control of the overall situation. Therefore, a buffer and stabilization period is needed before they dare to face the powerful Fangzhen.As for the Fang town they were worried about, it couldn't be the Shen family. Although Li Yang was superior to soldiers, he wasn't enough to deter the central government.

The only explanation is Tao Kan.Although the current northern and southern aristocrats have a lot of contempt for Dow, they have to admit that they really don't have enough power to check and balance this old man.Even because of jealousy, he didn't even want to add the name of auxiliary government, which is really ruthless and cowardly to the extreme.

Although Tao Kan is mostly worthless in his heart, Shen Zhezi has no position and ability to make an impression on him. He himself is now a bird throwing a cage.

As for Taichung's current Wang Yu Zhengfeng, due to the presence of Diao Yuan, Ren Qiu only mentioned it vaguely.But Shen Zhezi can also feel the presence of these two families who are now at loggerheads, which makes the atmosphere in the capital a little awkward.

Outside of these two factions, it is the strong rise of the clan.As the head of the auxiliary government, King Xiyang interfered in the government. Although he did not record the affairs of the minister, he fought against the Queen Mother in the court council.King Nandun, who had been thrown idle for several years earlier, was transformed from a hussar to the leading general, and he was still above Yu Liang's guards.King Runan served as General Wei and commanded the left army of the Imperial Guard.

The new emperor was young, Fangzhen was not attached, and the ruling family could not be dominated by one family. It was an inevitable result that the clan was strong.However, what is more funny is that King Runan was in charge of the mission the day before yesterday, and died suddenly at home the day after, and now both the government and the public are busy with the national funeral, and there is no one at the mortuary home.

This incident cast a cloud over the rise of the clans.The most important thing is that the power of the Imperial Guard, which had been obtained with great difficulty, was given away again due to the death of King Runan.Although King Nandun is the leader of the army and has the task of being in charge of the promotion and assessment of sergeants, he was scorned by Yu Liang, the supervisor of Zhongshu and the general of Fujun.

Another thing that attracted Shen Zhezi's attention was that the prince Sima Yue was granted the title of King of Wu, and the city of Wujun.This made Shen Zhezi feel a little bit of being targeted, not because he was so arrogant that he regarded Wuzhong as his own private land, but judging from the current situation, with the operation of Yinjue and the Shangmeng, the connection between the three Wuzhong is bound to increase. getting closer.

In such a season, Yu Liang suddenly intervened in Wu County, and it was difficult for Shen Zhezi to suspect that he was being targeted.King Wu is only five years old, and children will not be of much practical use, but many things can be done in the name of politics.It must be known that King Wu is also Yu Liang's nephew, and Yu Liang has a great say when he is an official in the palace.

Although the vassal state is not ruled by land in the actual sense, in addition to the food town, the Zongwang also has the right to criticize and punish the local governors.In other words, Yu Liang has already held the power of Wu County in his hands by making him king of Wu.

Of course, there must be two sides to everything. The most important thing is that Wu County is not a powerful vassal, so Yu Liang dared to do such a thing.If he dared to confer King Wu in Yuzhou, he would probably be happy to make a new king by Su Jun and Zu Yue.It doesn't matter whether King Wu is in the fief or not, the most important thing is that the title has been given.

From this incident, Shen Zhezi could also feel Yu Liang's contempt for the families in Wu County, as well as the weakness of the families in Wu County.Even if the two old fellows of the Lu family were prominent in Taichung for a while, and Lu Ye was to be appointed as the assistant government, they did not have their own political opinions, nor did they have enough structure and courage to gather around them a group of people with the same aspirations.

It is true that doing things this way can avoid many cruel political struggles and gain a more detached footing.But the so-called detachment is not a commendatory word in politics. In other words, no one can ignore you.If you get to this point, even if you are in the high position of the Sangong, what influence will it have in the current situation?It's just the embryo of clay sculptures in Taoist temples and temples. If you need it, you can come to worship it, and if you don't need it, let it gather dust and form a net.

Yu Liang played this trick beautifully. On the one hand, he gained the strength of Wu County, and on the other hand, he made people realize that the most important person in Nanshi today is just a temperless dough, which brought the Nanren who had just improved in the current situation to life. Press down!It can be seen that practical operation is the most capable of training people's abilities. If Yu Liang can maintain this state to govern, Su Jun may not be able to overturn the plate.

For the group of Wu Jun gentry, apart from cooperation in terms of local and practical benefits, Shen Zhezi did not count on them at all politically.These guys are less responsible than the overseas Chinese, but professional cheerleaders. It's okay for me to put on a posture and let them shout a few times, but don't expect them to take the initiative to speak up!

Politics is mysterious if you say it is mysterious, and it is false if you say it is false.In the final analysis, there is only one truth, and that is to maintain one's own sense of existence.In many democratic countries in later generations, it will take a long time to argue about the big things. Could it be that those politicians are really idle?It's just a fear of being forgotten.You don't even have your own opinions, how can you call others to follow you?

Even if you don't talk about national affairs, you just say how many compartments of toilet paper you need to use when going to the toilet?People's hearts are so complicated, as long as there are people, there will be disputes, and as long as a proposition is put forward, people will agree and follow it.Afraid of fighting with others?Go home and nurse your child!

In today's current situation, the reason for emphasizing politics is because there is no need to take the initiative to provoke. There are already conflicts inside and outside the government and the opposition.Overseas Chinese control righteousness and population, while southerners have geographical advantages, money and food, and both need the resources that the other has. Digging.

This time in Jiankang, even if the big bosses of Taicheng don't hold Shen Zhezi as a hostage, Shen Zhezi still plans to live here for a while.The current situation has changed, and the bosses are all staring at their presence, not to mention the little tender seedling of his family.If there is any motion in Taichung, don't care whether it is justified or not, just calm down and shout, even if it is annoying, it is better than being completely ignored by others.

Now that the Shangmeng and Yinjue are running in an orderly manner, Shen Zhezi doesn't have too many important things to do personally. He stays in Jiankang City.As time progresses, the more resources his family can master, they feed back each other and gradually grow stronger.

If Yu Liang wanted to play tricks on Wuzhong, Shen Zhezi would naturally not be polite.Although Jurong and Qu'e are not as open as Wujun, they are small with their beauty and ways to play.

In Jurong, Shen Zhezi took a quick tour of the various industries in the princess' fief.Although the current feudal city nominally only has the right to eat the city, there are still many loopholes to exploit.For example, turning civilian households into official households, and accepting them in disguise as shaded households.Closing mountains and marshes, digging lakes and reclaiming fields, and building Dudai Chuan mansions, as long as they are not afraid of stirring up civil uprisings, they can squeeze the bones and suck the marrow, and the income is not limited to food and salary.Although there are still officials appointed by the imperial court in the feudal cities, whether they are strong or weak among each other depends on the specific situation.

Danyang is not within the scope of the Shen family's influence, so the tasks Shen Zhezi assigned to Ren Qiu in the early days were also very simple and conservative. He just temporarily occupied a few barren hills and wasteland, built a few manors, and left them for the family who transferred here from Jingkou later to settle down. for.In the future, Shen Zhezi will have a lot of time to come here, and he can start from nothing to start a little bit of business.

The situation here in Jurong is relatively simple, but in Qu'a it is a bit more complicated.In addition to the Zhang family in Danyang who lived here for generations, in the early years, Qu'a also had a separate area to set up Langya county, where the Wang family of Langya, the Zhuge family, etc. all established their families.Therefore, the atmosphere of hedging among the localities is very strong. The mob attack on Gyeonggi a few years ago broke out here.

Therefore, in Qu'a, Shen Zhezi didn't arrange too much, at least he had a foothold in Jurong, and after he had the strength to protect himself, he would slowly move forward.Once these two counties have a foundation, no matter how dangerous the situation in Duzhong is, as long as they cross the Qinhuai River, Shen Zhezi will have nothing to worry about. Whether it is advancing or retreating, he can choose calmly.Although it is not necessary to station heavy troops here to intimidate Gyeonggi, even if each family wants to embarrass Shen Zhezi, they have to worry more.

When Shen Zhezi visited the princess's fiefdom, the family minister Diao Yuan followed behind him, hesitating to speak repeatedly.It wasn't until he left Qu'a and arrived at the suburbs of Beijing that Shen Zhezi said with a smile to Diao Yuan: "I know that the family members of Diao's family often lived in Jingkou, and now my family has some weather in Jingkou, so I can spare time to take care of it. I will take care of it later. I want to live in the capital for a long time, and then I will discuss it with my family."

Diao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.This means that Shen Zhezi is ready to accept him, and does not intend to leave him idle or drive him out of the princess mansion directly.His family was originally from a humble family, and in the early years, because of the Diao Xie's ruthless politics, everyone hated him, but now he doesn't have many old friendships to find a way out.

When he arrived at Zhuqueheng, Shen Zhezi met someone who came to greet him. To his surprise, the person who came to greet him was Sima Bo, the son of Prince Xiyang.
