Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 96 On Taboo Rituals

"Father, you must not agree to Shen's request! His family's rebellious door hides evil intentions, how could it be so kind..."

As soon as the Shen family father and son were sent away, Yu Tong couldn't wait to speak to his father.

"Then, in your opinion, what is Shen Chong's evil intention behind this proposal?"

Yu Tan was bowing his head and pondering, when he heard his son's slightly short-tempered voice, he raised his head and asked with a smile.He also wants to hear what his son thinks.After all, I am already old, and in the future, my family business will depend on my descendants.

"I...Shen Shiju has always had the ability to change things, and I can't see his intentions clearly. However, the son of a daughter can't sit down. Wu Xing is the hometown of his family, and it is definitely not a good place! Father put himself in danger, I don't think it's okay !"

Yu Ge hesitated for a moment, and then said eloquently: "Shen's powerful family, it is wrong to live in Kuaiji in seclusion, and it will never last long! My family has lived here for many generations and is friendly to the villagers. Father, you have made outstanding achievements and are well-known. On the day when Shen Chong is deposed, he will be the first choice to govern the county!"

Yu Tan was originally looking at his son with great interest, but when he heard this, his disappointment was beyond words.

Yu Ge's words cannot be wrong, but they are superficial, but they are actually useless.Since Shen Chong is believed to have a conspiracy, what is his conspiracy?His family will not last long, when will it end?I can be appointed as the Kuaiji, how will I plan?
The so-called pedantic views and general talk are empty.There are many denials but no policy. There are not enough successes and more failures.

Although he knew that his son was clumsy in political rhetoric, but now hearing his clumsy response, Yu Tan felt emotional again.Isn't it God's decision that everyone has the talent?

Although the Shen family is a noble and martial family from a poor family, but Shen Chong is sensitive to the current situation and has risen rapidly. He has no family, but he became a town in his prime, and his reputation nowadays is better than that of a group of old Nan scholars.On the other hand, my son, who is about the same age as Shen Chong, and his family has always been a favorite of Wu Zhongqing, but he couldn't show it at that time.

As for the son of Shen Chong, he can be said to be born out of the blue, and even his own momentary ignorance and carelessness fell into his trap, and he became a laughing stock of the people of the time.Could it be that Wu Zhonglingxiu really only likes Shen's family?
The attitude of the Shen family father and son, Yu Tan only needs to ponder a little, and he can understand the general idea.He didn't care about Shen's behavior to deceive himself, but he cared more about Shen Chong's attitude behind his actions.

People think too much, and many words are inconvenient to utter.Shen acted in his own face and reprimanded his son, while his son pretended to be arrogant, revealing at least two meanings.First, Mrs. Chen has plans to join forces with her; second, Mrs. Shen is still hesitant about this alliance, and she needs to show her sincerity to make an agreement.

If Yu Tan had disdained to seek cooperation with this rebellious family before, how could his family be polluted because of this!

However, at this time and at that time, even the current emperor and the princes of Taiwan Province entrusted the Shen family with important tasks regardless of past suspicions.What's the point of blaming his family for "disobedience"?

Since the chaos of the Wang Clan, the situation has been turbulent in the past few years, and even Yu Tan has a sense of confusion, and can no longer see where the situation will evolve.It is precisely because of the chaos in his heart that everything has not gone well for him in the past two years. Although he has a false name, it is rare to be real.

In addition to inner depression, there is no shortage of hidden worries.Even he can't see the way forward, how many of his descendants can deal with it without being surprised?
With so many emotions and anxiety in his heart, Yu Tan's mood is naturally not as indifferent as it appears on the surface.Even if he is old, he still has to work harder to keep his family going.

Because of such a mood, Yu Tan was really moved by what Shen Chong said.Although Wu Xing has not been established as a county for a long time, he is not as important as Kuaiji, but he is in the same three Wus and is also the top county in Jiangdong. For himself, it may not be a good job.If we can make a difference again, we can not only make up for the previous losses, but also maintain the reputation of the family.

Shen Chong probably also saw through his own needs, so he came to the house to pay a visit.Being so sensitive to people's hearts, he really lived up to the name of treachery.

Yu Tan can also guess about Shen Chong's intentions.Although he lives in a large county, as his son said, it will never last long.Of course, there are reasons why the locals like myself isolated the Shen family, but it was not enough to push the Shen family down from the position of Kuaiji.

The most important pressure on Shen Chong lies in the provinces of Beijing, China and Taiwan.Although Yu Tan has lived at home for a long time, he has a disciple who used to live in Jiankang, and there are many sources of information, so he knows that Shen Chong's position is not stable.Under such circumstances, uniting with local scholars has become an important means for him to protect himself.

Therefore, Yu Tan has no doubts about Shen Chong's sincerity.Each has its own scruples and needs, and Yu Tan believes that Shen Chong will never harbor ill intentions towards him under such internal and external difficulties.Shen Chong should be sincere about recommending himself as the prefect of Wuxing.

With such a view, Yu Tan couldn't help but look at Shen Chong with admiration in his heart. Being able to put aside his sect's opinion and disregard previous suspicions is an unattainable talent in itself.

Thinking of this, Yu Tan couldn't help but glanced at his son again, and sighed, "As a human being, if you say nothing, you should have a suggestion. It's only broken but not established. It's like a woman who murmurs and cares for others all day long. It's useless, it's not beneficial to yourself, it's not beneficial to others, how could you do what a man like you did!"

Yu Tong didn't know why he offended his father, but when he heard this accusation, he didn't dare to speak again, and bowed his head in silence.

Seeing his son pretending to be educated, but still unable to understand what he meant, Yu Tan sighed in his heart, and decided to accept Shen Chong's kindness.I only hope that I can make one or two more contributions in this lifetime, and win more protection for future generations, so that my family background will not plummet after my death.

In fact, if the purpose only ends here, Yu Tan is not the only one who chooses to cooperate with the Shen family.At present, the Langya Wang family also needs to overthrow Shen Chong to free up Fangzhen's position.Last year, Yu Tan cooperated with the Wang family once, hoping to hit the Shen family, but it was a pity that the success failed.

But the Wang family is hard to get a job with, but it is not a good partner.The Wang family can kill even blood relatives, but it can be seen that he is cruel and ungrateful by nature, how can he guarantee that after joining forces with him to drive away Shen Chong, he will repay his kindness?After all, the Wang family has a strong demand for taking over Fangzhen right now, and it is absolutely impossible for the Wang family to hand over the control to him.

On the one hand, Wuxing County is at your fingertips, and on the other hand, you don't know whether you can get rewards, so Yu Tan naturally understands which choice he should make.

As for whether the Shen family can push him to the position of Wuxing county guard, Yu Tan has no doubts.The Wang family has been unable to take down Shen Chong for a long time, which shows that his family has their own backs and wrestles with each other.And no matter which side they join, this group of Kuaiji scholars may become the final winner.That being the case, since Shen Chong dared to promise, he would never dare to tease himself.

It's just that what sincerity do I have to show in order to reach this cooperation with the Shen family?
Yu Tan pondered for a long time, then got up and went into the study, asked his son to come over to serve him, and quickly wrote "On Taboo Rituals".

----------------

Waiting in the county mansion for a few days, Shen Chong saw the memorial sent by the Yu family. After reading the content, Shen Chong couldn't help laughing, called Shen Zhezi to his face, and handed the memorial to his son.

Shen Zhezi glanced at it hastily, and also smiled knowingly, the matter is over, Yu Tan has already made it!

There is no special content in this memorial, but Yu Tan, as a scholar of etiquette and law, is advising the imperial court. Nowadays, rituals and music are collapsing, and people of the time should be more self-conscious, such as avoiding the names of predecessors. , should abide by and not violate.

If you do not understand the world, it is difficult to understand the profound meaning of this memorial.

The name of Wang Hui, the father of Langya Wang Shu, happened to have the same shape as the word "Hui" in Kuaiji County. In terms of etiquette to avoid the taboo of the names of ancestors, it blocked the possibility of him being in charge of Kuaiji!
Although this little trick is tortuous, it is practical.Wang Shu is now entangled in material disputes because of the serious murder of his clan brothers and sons. If no one mentions this festival for the sake of the family plan, it is rare to be confused and accept it.But since he was exposed by humanity, he dared not come to Kuaiji no matter what.

Historically, because of the inaction of Kuaiji scholars, the imperial court even changed the name of Kuaiji to Kuaiji directly, and Wang Shu was also appointed as the internal history of Kuaiji, which shows the strong desire of the Wang family to be in charge of Fangzhen.

But now, Yu Tan is the first to speak out, expressing the attitude of the scholars in Kuaiji. Given the delicate situation of Wang's current situation, he would never dare to do this!

Shen Chong said with a smile: "Yu Si'ao's sixty-year-old man still has to do it for his family's business. It's desolate. Later, I will take a boat and send it to Uncle Yu's place in Jiankang. Yu Liang knows how to plan it." .”

Shen Zhezi was also helpless when he heard that his father mentioned Yu Liang still hated him.The family's home court is coming soon, but the Shen family is still stuck in the place right now, and they are working hard for Fang Zhen's position, so they are not considered a heavyweight.Even if there are any old grievances, they can only be tolerated temporarily.If you are eager to turn against the Yu family, your family will have no backing in Taiwan.

Both father and son knew that Yu Tan's dredging was only a temporary measure.There are still many members of the Wang clan, and after Wang Shu is resolved, someone else will come forward.If he wants to completely dispel his idea of ​​plotting Kuaiji, he can only be deterred by violence!
Inviting Yu Tan to serve as the prefect of Wu Xing, apart from attracting local scholars in Kuaiji, the main purpose was to instigate him to turn against Wucheng Yan's family.For this, Shen Zhezi has a plan, and just as he cannot refuse to be the prefect of Wu Xing, even if he knows it is a trap, Yu Tan will gladly step into it!
　Will this update be a bit erratic? . .It's almost Qingming. . .It doesn't matter, in the new week, let's make another wave of recommendation tickets. . .
