Chapter Ninety-Eight: Bay State
There are a lot of people in Beijing who look at the wind, and Qiao Chengzhi, the left servant of the Shangshu, interviewed Hebei, and there are countless people waiting for the opportunity. The fast horses in Beijing were sold out, Luoyang also became a news distribution center, and the states along the Henan Road were ready to make a comeback at any time.
However, as soon as the news came out, Fang Qiao's people had already arrived in Beizhou, making a group of people from Henan Province directly stunned.
The Ten Provinces of the World are not administrative units, but a regional division, and Hebei Province is not higher in level than the Hebei Provincial Prefectures. There are no substantive bureaucrats, let alone chief officials and the like.
Therefore, since the beginning of the Wu Tak years, the interview envoy or the deposed ambassador did not go to a fixed state to stop and have a look. It is purely to see the deposed ambassador's own route plan, or the public promotion plan of the Zai Fu, and at the very least, it is also the direct intention of the emperor's decree.
Theoretically, Beizhou is no different from the rest of Hebei Province. However, because of the abundance of wealthy families, Bay State is different.
The Qinghe Cui clan is here, so Beizhou is a lighthouse for the world's most prominent families.
In the Northern Dynasties, even if the Cui family was destroyed because of Cui Hao, it was only a few years of operation and prospered again. The core elite of the Cui family, if you take one out of each room, you can compete with other famous families. Its actual elite population is in the tens of thousands.
Dingxiang Governor's Mansion Governor Zhang Gongjin, don't look at him now with the name of Zou Guogong, when Zhang's Northern Sect was down, he could die at any time during the Great Cause year.
And why was Zhang Gongjin able to mix with the history of Governor Wei in the end? In addition to Nanzong's financial support, in addition to Zhang Gongjin's own social skills, there is another factor that Zhang Gongjin is not very willing to mention, that is, he has climbed high branches.
This high branch is the Qinghe Zhang family.
It's the same Zhang's, but the gap is not a little bit. Qinghe Zhang is a descendant of Zhang Liang, an authentic and famous family that has been romantic for hundreds of years. It is fundamentally different from the turtle like Jiangshui.
However, through unremitting efforts, Qinghe Zhang did have such a gesture at that time. Of course, for Qinghe Zhang, this is a trivial matter, but for Zhang Gongjin. The step of entering the body is only a moment.
Therefore, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Zhang Gongjin, who was already the prince of Dingyuan County, helped Zhang Wenjun, a younger brother of the Zhang family of Qinghe, to get the position of joining the army in Bingzhou in the imperial examination in the first year of Zhenguan.
At that time, Zhang Gongjin was already saying the same thing in Zuo Xiaowei, so although Zhang Wenqian took the Ming Jing Branch, he still ascended to the sky in one step and got the fat shortage that others could not envy.
Of course, this is for Qinghe Zhang. A person who joins the army is not worthy of great joy, and Zhang Gongjin's return did not let the Qinghe Zhang family publicize it.
Everything was as if nothing had happened.
It's a matter of course.
However, what is taken for granted by the Qinghe Zhang family, in the face of the Qinghe Cui family, it is not worth it, and even its gap. It is even bigger than Zhang Gongjin compared to Qinghe Zhang. And amazing.
The Cui family had a "national history case" back then, and the world's wealthy families involved included the Taiyuan Wang family, the Fanyang Lu family, the Hedong Liu family, and the Qinghe Zhang family, and they were not even qualified to be implicated.
But even if the four families were wiped out at that time, the Northern Wei Dynasty was gone. The Tuoba clan also died cleanly, and the Cui clan is still the Cui clan, standing tall and the family is prosperous.
Three hundred years ago, "Guanzhong is only good and Wang Meng, and the people of the world look forward to Xie An". seems to be just saying that these two people are actually just a true portrayal of the monopoly of intellectual resources by wealthy families in the north and south.
After going through the Northern and Southern Dynasties, even in the Great Cause years, this situation has never changed.
Yang Guang's career will be difficult to succeed in the end, but it is also a good start in the end. The uncle's three-year Jinshi Branch, although it had little effect, was of far-reaching significance, until Sun Fujia became the first leader in human history.
However, what made Li Yuan quite helpless was that Sun Fujia was still from Beizhou, and he studied in the private school of the Cui family in Qinghe since he was a child, and his classmates were all elites of the Cui family.
When Sun Fujia became a messenger of justice in Dali Temple, his classmates were still reading and writing poems in his hometown.
Is Sun Fujia more accomplished than his former classmates? For the small people, it seems to be like this. However, in fact, Sun Fujia is in Dali Temple, and he can decide the fate of one person's good and evil, and can decide the life and death of a hundred people. But his classmates, with just one message, all the farmers in a farm a hundred miles away may lose their fields and be displaced in an instant.
Sun Fujia, who has justice in his heart, was tired and half dead in front of the case, and his official reputation among the people is like gold, and he is just a "knife and pen official" when he falls on the Cui family.
If it weren't for Li Shimin's strong push to weaken the family, and he did not choose to monopolize the right to education and personnel in an all-round way, as long as Cui Shi wanted to come up with as many bureaucrats above the sixth grade, there would be as many.
Li Shimin also knows very well that the Tang Dynasty in Zhenguan is still on the rise, the empire is still expanding, and the population is still increasing. But if one day, the empire declines, then the Cui family, the Wang family, the Zheng family, must be you who just sang and I came to power.
Therefore, although cooperation and confrontation, the emperor and the family did not go overboard. Fang Qiao's wife was Fan Yang Lu, and the emperor acquiesced. Cheng Yanjin's wife was Cui, and the emperor acquiesced. Fang Xuanling made an interview and went to Hebei Province, not to go to other places, but to Beizhou, which was not only a show of goodwill, but also a reminder, although he had just been slapped in the face on the issue of royal marriage.
"Beizhou."
The weather was warm and there was still a cold spring, Zhang De stood under the big willow tree, and sighed in the wind. Under the trees, the catkins were scattered all over the ground, and on the woolen blanket lay a briquette stove, on which was an iron pot with sliced fish and crabs caught in the Yellow River.
"Go to Beizhou as the left servant of Shangshu, and Your Majesty will be lenient to Cui's family."
The prime minister's every move, of course, Hebei Province is clear.
After Xue Dading sighed, he carried a crab leg in his hand, and then said with burning eyes, "Perhaps, is it to retreat as advance?" ”
"Xue Gong is not from a family?"
"The parents of the people."
Lao Xue laughed at himself, and then said, "Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and you should know that the family is not a day's strength." The Lu family is resentful because of the sugar, and the Hebei wang clan is quite resentful. ”
Zhang De smiled: "If you are resentful, you will be resentful, can you still rebel?" ”
"That's right."
Xue Dading laughed, drank himself, smacked his lips with warm rice wine, and said, ", if you want to set up a school, I'm afraid it will be criticized." However, since Cui Jixiu can help you, the old man can also help you. ”
"Why does Gong Xue treat me so leniently?"
"The bag is shy, and the old man is short of people, how can there be any reason not to do things."
Zhang De was amused by this old man: "Xue Gong is really an upright gentleman. ”
"Come, you and I gentlemen, have a drink, and look at this Shangshu left servant, what to do."
After that, toast to Zhang De and drink it all. (To be continued.) )
