Chapter Eighty-Seven: The History of the Civil Strife in the Jin Dynasty (6)

Jin Xiangong looked very surprised when he saw Fuzi, and he asked about Fuzi's physical condition with concern. Tomiko shows his political veteran side here: he kneels on the ground, sincerely pleads guilty to Xiangong, says that he almost violated the king's order because of a minor illness, and praises Yau for setting an example for the doctors.

He said: "Since the You clan doesn't dare to love money, how dare the minister love money? Almost all of the minister's family property is in Quwo, unlike some people, who only leave some toilet spittoons, and those rags are also counted as valuable family property? Now I will set an example, and the minister will dedicate all his family property to the prince along with the mansion......"

Tomiko's mention of the word "exemplary" was met by some of the people who had always been inclined to the flames, and they praised Tomiko's generosity and loyalty, and sadly expressed that they were also willing to give the property they had moved from Quwo to the office.

Fuzi's voice changed, and he asked in a questioning tone: "The minister has heard some rumors on the sickbed these days, saying that although the division has not yet begun, the prince has promised better land, is this true?" ”

Xian Gong said: "Rumors, definitely rumors. In the absence of his uncle, how dare the widow reward and punish him? Besides, the brief book of the census has just been submitted, and the widow has not had time to read it! ”

Tomiko said: "Since it is a rumor, then the minister will not ask." Now that the book has come out, let's settle the matter of sealing it today. ”

Xian Gong said: "Uncle is the secretary of the Jin Kingdom, how dare the widow disobey?" ”

Fuzi said: "Since the minister is the top minister, should the division start with the minister?" ”

Xiangong said, "It must start with my uncle. ”

Fuzi said, "Then which piece of land does the king want to give to his ministers?" ”

Xiangong said: "Everything is as your uncle wants." ”

Fuzi said, "The minister wants the court." ”

The doctors all exclaimed: "Oh......" Everyone in the Jin Kingdom knew that the court had secretly promised You's, and the doctors thought that the next scene must be very good.

Xiangong's smile froze on his face, and he looked at You Shi in embarrassment; The brothers' blood gushed upward.

Fuzi said, "The court won't have already allowed to go out, right?" ”

Xian Gong said: "Of course not. However, the area of the court is vast and the population is large, and if it is divided into one family, not only will some people say that the widow is biased, but the uncle will also attract jealousy, so the widow thinks that it is better to divide it between the two families. The land was divided into two according to the main road in the court, and the uncle chose a piece at will; The widow then took out a piece of land from elsewhere to compensate his uncle. How is it? ”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Fuzi didn't want to force the king too much, so he chose the large and rich land on the north side of the road. Jin Xiangong distributed the land in the south to the You clan. The You brothers are going crazy, because the land they get is not as good as that of ordinary doctors!

In this way, the Xiangong faction successfully provoked the discord between the rich and you families, and the Gong clan group began to split.

After Jin Xiangong finished sealing the land, the depressed You Zhong unexpectedly promoted Luan Ji to the position of the elder of the family, but the complacent rich son did not give Liang Wu any reward, not even a good word - because he could not see that others were better than him. As a result, Liang Wu held a grudge against him.

Liang Wu complained to Luan Yu, complaining that Fuzi was too ruthless and unrighteous to him. Luan Yu comforted him and said, "Brother, you know better than me what kind of virtue you have in serving that person; There are more people in the country who hate him than they hate the ugliness of the father. You don't get any good when he's at his best, but you're bound to be unlucky when he's down. You should think carefully about your future, and when you think about it, come to me, I can help you. ”

After careful consideration, Liang Wu joined the Rich Alliance with all his heart.

When a person is too powerful, all he sees is an illusion. Jin Xian obeyed the public words, the doctors bowed their heads, and Liang Wu groveled; Tomiko lives in such an environment where the stars hold the moon, and he can't perceive the death that is quietly approaching.

Liang Wu accepted the lesson and no longer dared to "interfere in the government", he was serious in his daily life except for plotting conspiracy. On this day, Liang Wu said: "Master, the land of the court is so fertile, but the people who cultivate it are all aborigines; But the fields of your people are very barren. The minister heard that the aborigines had colluded with the feudal people of the You clan and transferred the harvested grain to the other side to escape the grain supply. Do you think you should swap the aborigines and the children of the rich family? ”

Tomiko said, "Yes, that's what you should worry about!" After he verbally praised Liang Wu, he arranged for him to run errands.

Since the fiefs of the Fu clan and the You clan originally belonged to the same region, the aborigines on both sides of the road boundary were still living the same peaceful and harmonious life as before, although they belonged to different feudal lords.

However, Fuzi took Liang Wu's proposal and moved the aborigines on one side of his fief and replaced them with real thugs and strong people composed of Fu's children.
