Chapter 104 Zhou Guogong's ambition

"master!"

"Dude!"

Madam Li and Qiu Ze's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they unconsciously fell to the ground.

Go to the old man to apologize?

The Duke obviously regarded himself as a scapegoat and pushed him into the fire pit. Don’t think that the Lu family would give him face because of this. The reason why the old man is an old man is that he does not care about the so-called etiquette and face.

"Get out!"

Ye Shenlu didn't give them the chance to beg for mercy, and in the blink of an eye, he swept them out of the study.

Almost before the two of them could react, a soldier outside the study came forward to ward them and took them away.

"Call Zigao and the others here."

"yes!"

The guests who had been waiting for a long time, the retainers began to enter the study and stood in front of Ye Shenlu on both sides.

There are aristocratic families with three thousand guests. As the founding father of the Duke of Zhou, the mansion of Duke of Zhou, was naturally full of talents.

As the steward in the mansion, Mu Zigao stood first and spoke, "Master, Lu Chuxuan's coffin has long been taken back to the Duke of Tang's mansion. However, this news was stopped by the second master!"

"National Master!" A young guest bowed and said, "Now the family is becoming more and more powerful, I am afraid that it will cause trouble if it is too sharp. Especially the Second Master, it is too conspicuous!"

"The second child has a eccentric personality and never thinks about the consequences when doing things. His father used to spoil him too much, so he was lawless!"

Ye Shenlu gently pulled the desk with his fingers, as if he was blaming his younger brother, but his tone was a bit funny and funny.

Ye Shenji was the governor of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Marquis of Yanyun, and the current confidant and beloved general of the emperor. If he had not been favored by the emperor, he would not have become a chief official of the border and a governor with millions of troops. Moreover, he was indeed talented and forced to build Yanyun, a barren place, into a major territory. Not only did he curb the Northern Wilderness, but he also formed a huge border trade land.

This series of methods is enough to show his extraordinary talent in civil and military affairs.

The people of Yanyun only know the Marquis of Yanyun but not the Emperor. The soldiers of Yanyun only recognize the Qinglong flag but not the Emperor's life.

I don’t know how many censors wrote to impeach Yan Yunhou, but they were all regarded as the son of the emperor and the emperor refused to make a fuss. In the end, the Censor Taidu Censor led a group of people to kneel down at the palace gate. Whether it was a court stick or an exile, these Qingliu just accepted the truth.

In the end, the emperor was angry and killed the imperial censor who led the lead in the imperial city, which shocked the world. Ye Shenlu, who had just inherited the title of Duke of the Kingdom and served as Minister of Personnel, entered the palace overnight to face the saint, and Ye Shenji, the Marquis of Yanyun, also handed over the crimes, and this matter was suppressed.

However, after this incident, anyone who is involved in the officialdom can expect that a difficult crack has appeared between the originally harmonious king and his minister.

When the emperor was young, he had a free and easy personality and liked to make friends with a few or two in a small way. Lu Chuxuan and Ye Shenji were his two most trusted young playmates.

But after all, Ye Shenji is a child of a wealthy family. Lu Chuxuan is a representative of emerging aristocrats. A thousand-year-old dynasty was born with countless wealthy families of aristocrats.

As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family.

If the dynasty changes, the previous royal family will definitely have their bloodlines cut off and no one will survive. However, the aristocratic families will not disappear because of the dynasty. They either remain silent or have chosen the wise ruler to surrender and always remain invincible. Even if they are silent, they can ensure that the family bloodline is constantly passed on.

Aristocratic families are aristocratic families. In real aristocratic families, few people will plot against the throne, and they will not confront the court because of some seemingly huge interests.

They will only strive for the greatest benefit for the family within the scope of the court's acquiesced. The scope of the court's acquiesced is very flexible, either large or small.

So a vicious circle appeared in the world. When the royal family was weak, the power of the aristocratic families would rise greatly, control the government, and even depose the emperor to seek huge benefits for themselves.

When the royal family becomes stronger again and takes over power, the aristocratic family will become silent again, cooperate and obediently. They will even sacrifice a large part of their interests in exchange for the court's compromise, leaving the court without any excuse to deal with them.

Over the years, many emperors with ambition and wise and powerful ambitions have suppressed the aristocratic families in a million ways, weakened them, and even tried to erase them. However, before this time, the aristocratic families would shrink their heads back and shrink them quite thoroughly, like a thousand-year-old turtle, shrinking their heads into a thick shell, making people unable to speak.

There were also powerful emperors who tried to suppress the massacre without reason with bloody and cruel means. The final result was that the emperor died bizarrely in the palace. Some people said that he died at the hands of his concubine, while others said that he died at the hands of eunuchs and guards.

But without exception, the guessed characters are either from aristocratic families or joining aristocratic families.

No one knows how strong the united power of all the aristocratic families in the world is, but everyone understands that when all the aristocratic families decide to abandon a dynasty, even if the leader of the dynasty is wise and powerful, he will inevitably be killed.

Aristocratic families can tolerate being deposed and being suppressed.

In their opinion, it is natural for one to rise and the other to fall. If the royal family has a big power, take a step back; if the royal family has a weak power, he will take a step further.

No court can guarantee that every generation of emperor is famous and powerful, and no aristocratic family can guarantee that every generation of talents can emerge.

This world trend is moving forward under the traction of the royal family and the aristocratic family, just like the eternal stars, eternal and unchanging.

Therefore, wealthy families have always been relying on troubled times and have cancer in prosperous times.

In order to curb the aristocratic families, the emperors of the Tiance Divine Dynasty fought against it after repeatedly shaping prominent families. This method was ultimately a way to quench thirst. Apart from the extra chain of interests, it did not bring much help to the royal family.

However, with the emergence of Emperor Hongwu at that time, he also weakened countless aristocratic families and prominent families while destroying Yan. Even the five major kings were all silent at that time.

In the view of Emperor Hongwu, the prominent family of aristocratic families was the biggest cancer of the Tiance Divine Dynasty. He took all his might to improve the status of the Tiance Wu Academy and the academy, and paid attention to the extraordinary promotion, hoping to break the situation where the children of aristocratic families monopolize the court and the army.

This series of royal family layouts was laid as early as the founding of Taizu. However, for thousands of years, the Tiance Divine Dynasty has also risen and fallen. In the end, it is still difficult to avoid the rise of aristocratic families and prominent families, and they are standing side by side with the royal family.

However, the Empress Hongwu, the aristocratic family and prominent families have returned to peace, and although the later emperors cannot be said to be wise and powerful, they are not stupid.

"In the eyes of the following, the Second Master is afraid that he will move. Otherwise, the loss will be won by His Majesty killing the chicken to warn the monkey. The Duke and the Marquis are the biggest storefronts of the Ye family. If something happens to one person, it means that there is a wind direction."

"I heard that your Majesty has been ill recently!?"

When Ye Shenlu heard this, he shook his head and said calmly: "It's winter, your Majesty is just a slight illness."

Everyone knew it, but didn't say it clearly. But as soon as this question arose, even Ye Shenlu suddenly became clear in his heart.

When my son is stubborn today, everyone speculated that he would not have much time. No matter which prince the emperor's throne falls on, the first thing His Majesty needs to guarantee is to return to the world and clear obstacles for the new emperor.

Now the Grand Governor's Office is in charge of the seven armies. Looking from the three dukes and the cabinet, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Yanyun Hou Pan Heng Yanyun for ten years.

It is undoubtedly fearful that a powerful governor built Yan Yun into the backyard of the Ye family in ten years. If His Majesty really wants to clear the obstacles for his son, this Marquis of Yan Yun, who has a million soldiers, will be the first to be affected.

Thinking of this, Duke Zhou changed the topic and said: "I will go to Duke Tang's mansion to apologize tomorrow. What do you think Yuan'er's marriage should be done!?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. They had to admire the scheming of the Duke of the Kingdom of China. It was undoubtedly the best choice to visit Duke of Tang.

A true aristocratic family cannot be created by a lifetime of glory or a few wise figures. But the Lu family in the Duke of Tang is the only exception. The aristocratic family is deeply rooted and has a rich background, and its background is difficult to detect. In addition to officialdom, shopping mall, martial arts and even sects, after thousands of years of operation, they are everywhere.

Logically speaking, why should such a huge family bow to a noble family?

But the Lu family is the most bizarre existence in the Tiance Divine Dynasty. With one man's own strength, the old man built the Lu family into a big family that no one dared to underestimate.

In addition, the current grandson-in-law is King Jian, and it will never be out of reach for the Lu family to become a noble family in the future.

Although he is now idle at home, he naturally knows that this old Duke is deeply trusted by His Majesty. Maybe the new emperor ascends the throne, he will be entrusted with the elders of the orphans.

On the contrary, if Duke Zhou hadn't asked about the marriage between Lu Jiuyuan and Ye Junyuan and the matter today, the guests would not have mentioned this matter.

When they start this kind of thing, it is naturally just a child fighting. The engagement is not a great thing at all. The real important thing is Duke Tang!

"As far as he touched the second master's temperament, he secretly bewitched his wife and sent the lady to Canglan Sect just to force Lu Shaoqing to appear. At this point, that Shaoqing is really dead~"

"Since the Duke of the State went to the Lu family to apologize, Duke of Tang should not do anything wrong when he was in the friendship between the two families. As for the marriage between the two families, Duke of the State can only let Duke of Tang say so!"

Ye Shenlu smiled and said, "This engagement has caused a lot of trouble again. Everyone knows that the world really regrets the marriage, and my Ye family will become a laughing stock. If the Tang Kingdom publicly says that it will get married tomorrow, I will have someone go to Canglan Sect to tie the person back tomorrow."

The butler Mu Zigao, who had been silent, whispered: "I heard that Qianliju of the Lu family is very close to the fourth prince! The master has a rare opportunity to enter the Lu Mansion, so he might as well have a greeting with Duke Tang."

Whenever the throne is replaced, every noble family must be careful. If you miss the wrong treasure, you will not only lose your own interests, but also be retaliated by your political enemies.
