Chapter 1100 North-South Contest
The man with a long sword hanging on his waist was the former governor of Yangzhou and the current governor of Jiangzuo Wang Dun.
Wang Dun was born in the Wang family of Langya. He relied on his family background and his own planning to continue to rise. A few years ago, he even won the position of governor and took power in Yangzhou.
If you follow the normal trajectory, serve as the governor in the local area and accumulate sufficient qualifications and political achievements, you will be heading towards the center.
However, the Wang family of Langya had already made arrangements in the court. Wang Dun's brother Wang Dao was known for his reputation in the court. Therefore, Wang Dun's main purpose was to operate locally, and it was also the Wang family who planned new ways for themselves.
There is Xuzhou between Yangzhou and Qingzhou, and there are many connections in the business path and many interests. According to Wang's plan, after Wang Dun settled his position in Yangzhou, he could seek greater benefits by consolidating the connection between the Wang family and Jiangzuo. At that time, chaos occurred in the north and there were many signs. So after thinking about it, Wang wanted to let Wang Dun stay in Yangzhou for a long time, so he planned for him.
Yangzhou, a place that guards the important roads of the north and south, is actually the foundation of the southern country.
Wang Dun had the means. After being the governor of Yangzhou for several years, his influence was not only on the government level, but also on military and military affairs.
After working like this for many years, it was about to leave office. Unexpectedly, the world suddenly changed and wars were rising everywhere. Now, Yangzhou, which is guarding the north and south, became important all of a sudden, especially when the north was in chaos, the relatively stable Jiangzuo land became a very important source of wealth, and the position of the governor of Yangzhou became even more important.
Wang Dun decisively seized the opportunity, allowing himself and the Wang family of Langya to deepen their influence, and firmly grasped the military power.
Now, the situation in Jiangzuo is gradually becoming more complicated. It is said that Tao Kan is seriously ill, and Jiangzuo's military figures are gradually dying, which further highlights Wang Dun's strength.
Wang Dun could take it and let it go. When the situation was at its most chaotic, he actually took the initiative to leave the position of governor and concentrate on military power. So after the arrival of King Liu Gai of Langya, Wang Dun officially became the governor of Jiangzuo, commanded the southern troops, and became a figure who could go to the hall with swords and shoes in front of King Langya.
Even though he was facing the leader of Jiangzuo Wu, Wang Dun still refuted fearlessly.
But as soon as he said it, most of the people present immediately glared at him.
There are actually two major groups gathered in the royal palace. Some are like Wang Dun. Representatives of the gentry from the north either come here to serve or have made some arrangements in the south due to chaos in the north; the other part is the Jiangnan gentry represented by Gu Rong. These aristocrats are also different, including those in the south and those who came south with Zhaolie back then.
During the New Han Dynasty, the southern gentry had a great influence, and both influence and strength were superior to the north. However, Emperor Xuanwu moved the capital to the north in order to balance the situation. This created a group of rising northern gentry, but also sowed the seeds of the dispute between the north and the south.
When the world was peaceful, the dispute between the north and the south was a tool used by the ruling decision-makers to restrict each other. Now there are wars everywhere, and this dispute has become a crack and a fuse.
Wang Dun's words suddenly ignited the arrogance of the southern gentry, and they all tried to compete with this northern genius.
"Langya Wang family is indeed amazing. When they come to the south, they are still so arrogant. I don't know, I think you have already put down the stone thief!"
"Can your northern family be able to make a move? Come to our territory and you will dare to show off your power."
"Yes, the king is here, just for a testimony. Let the gentry in the north talk about what should I do? Should I rely on you to fight back to the north, or rely on us to create a world again!"
The words of the people in the south were sarcastic, and even the face of the Langya King sitting in the upper head could not help but look a little ugly.
After all, this royal family was not only a northerner, but his mother was also from the Wang family in Langya. It is because of this that she was helped by the Wang family. After passing through Xuzhou and arrived in Jiangzuo, she could still be supported.
Of course, there are not only King Langya who is offended, but also representatives of many northern families, mainly people from Qing, Xu and Yan, who also retorted and retorted.
"Oh? I wonder if the Chen family in Pengcheng is considered a northern family?"
"Brother Liu said this very well. Chen's Xuanjia Army, who can match you in Wu?"
"Yes, the Huns are not even the enemy of one month. How long will the rebellion in the north last?"
When the people from the north mentioned Chen Zhi, the southern family immediately became a little silent, but someone immediately sarcastically said that it was the north, so they could only rely on Chen Zhengbei to maintain a little face.
Some people also say that the ancestor of the Chen family once passed by Zhaolie to the south, and Xuzhou was the root. Strictly speaking, it was from the south and had little to do with the northern region.
As a quarrel, a good discussion turned into a big outbreak of conflicts between the north and the south in a blink of an eye.
The inexperienced King Langya didn't care about his unhappiness and was eager to calm the quarrel, but although he spoke, he could not stop everyone's words.
Just then.
"Everyone, you misunderstood. My brother really can't speak. He didn't look down on the kingdom of the South. He was really anxious about the state affairs. Besides, the situation of the Huns was in the situation, we have to figure out what the situation was."
Wang Dun's brother Wang Dao spoke, but the words of King Langya did not persuade everyone, let alone Director Wang.
Sure enough, the person's mouth was useless.
But the scholar of Langya was not anxious, but said, "I have news here, saying that the Xiongnu collapsed, the Xuanjia Army pacified Bingzhou, occupied two northern states. These two states faced the grassland desert in the north, with seventh-rank righteousness as a supplement, and many tribes surrendered. When the Pingzhou is determined, the Xuanjia Army will completely consolidate the border, occupy the three states, and be the strongest in the world. Even now, which one dares to say that he can defeat Xuanjia. What's more important is that Chen Zhengbei is the king's teacher..."
Quiet!
When Director Wang talked about the previous events, many people from the aristocratic families who had no information were also surprised, but some people had known it for a long time and did not react. But when they heard it at the end, they all stopped and looked at King Langya with a surprised expression.
The original quarrel disappeared immediately.
Wang Dun curled his lips, revealing a little jealousy.
Wang Dao smiled slightly, looked at the Langya King who was a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and continued, "You should also know that General Zhengbei is close to the emperor, but he doesn't know that before meeting the emperor, the general first had a friendship with the king, and even accepted the king as a student in Qingzhou. This relationship is here. In the future, the Xuanjia Army can help us. How can we divide the north and south?
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and treated King Langya more respectfully.
