Chapter 352: Cleaning (Part 2)
Family scholars have always been an important force to support those in power. All resources of regional countries are concentrated in the hands of the gentry. Therefore, most of the officials who hold state institutions exercise power are from gentry. This is a manifestation of the power of the gentry and also continues the strength of the gentry.
Throughout the years, dynasties have continued, and all regions have their own powerful ethnic groups. From a certain perspective, this is actually a large number of ethnic groups on the political, economic and cultural territory, no different from the hundreds of ethnic groups outside the Great Wall, at least in essence.
The emperor took turns to do it, and the gentry members also had their rise and fall, but they were always a force that those in power could not ignore. Even if they received the support of these gentry members, they could have the ability to pacify the world or dominate the country. The resources of society were in the hands of these people, so those who wanted to succeed naturally had to rely on these gentry members.
The gentry established a country by supporting the monarch he liked, thus gaining more benefits at the national level. This is an iron law that is difficult to break, and it is even like this thousands of years later.
The wind of Qingtan spread rapidly. Whether it was the ministers of Jin, Wei, Wu, or Han, they did not object to Qingtan, and a large number of officials joined in it, enjoying it. For individuals, this seems irrelevant, and it is also good to be a pastime after dinner.
But for the overall interests of the country, more and more people are talking, and fewer and fewer people are interested in doing practical things. This is not a good thing.
But behind this power is the numerous wealthy families. Although this is not the interest of the wealthy families, the participants in the talk come from various gentry factions, many of them are very high in reputation and are also respected in the family. To suppress this trend of talk is not something that can be done by one person and one force.
The atmosphere of the court began to change, which could not escape any eyes. Jiang Tong, who was left by Liu Chan, was responsible for the Central Plains government affairs, naturally saw it, but ignored it. Until Jiang Wei arrived in Xuchang, everything changed quietly.
"Sun Xiu's villain, Yi Fu drove him out of the mansion, so be more careful." After everyone dispersed, Shan Jian said to Wang Yan with concern. Although Shan Jian never took people like Sun Xiu into consideration, in the court of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, a villain like Sun Xiu was extremely fast and had great lethality.
Wang Yan still lowered his eyes and said, "This kind of rat is just a mess of mundane affairs, it's not worth worrying. Ji Lun, you don't need to worry."
"Isn't Yifu worried about Your Majesty?" Shan Jian saw that Wang Yan was quite expelling the guest, so he stood up and prepared to say goodbye, but he still couldn't let it go and said with a reminder.
Wang Yan smiled silently and said, "I am in a idle position and I am young. Even if a villain like Sun Xiu is so chaotic, what will I do with me?"
"But Your Majesty..." Shan Jian frowned. He admired Wang Yan's simple talk, but self-admiration has never been a good personality for a minister to die well.
After seeing off Shan Jian, Wang Yan's eyes seemed to be much brighter. He pondered for a long time and said, "Come on, I'll send you a chance to return home."
Pingzi is Wang Yan's younger brother, whose name is Wang Cheng. He has always been praised by Wang Yan and has a very high status in the metaphysical school.
"Brother Pingzi has not returned to Hu Wuyan's mansion. Do you want to go there?" Liu Yu, who had not left the courtyard, bowed and asked. It seemed that he could run for a leg for a famous metaphysics like Wang Yan.
"In Hu Wuyan's Mansion, Pingzi is probably drunk, and I'm going to celebrate his grandson." Wang Yan said with confidence when he saw it was Liu Yu. This Liu Yu was the elder brother of Liu Kun, a general of Jin State. He has been addicted to metaphysical and elegant talk for many years and is quite famous in the circle. If such a person summoned his younger brother back for him, Wang Yan felt safe.
Celebrity, romantic, romantic and famous.
Drinking is a major feature of famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Being able to drink is not awesome, and drinking style can be considered a true celebrity. Ruan Ji and others were drunk to avoid disasters, and because their ambitions were difficult to achieve, they chose this way of life.
However, due to its influence, many famous scholars with great talent and great achievements also followed the trend and hailed their own style of famous scholars drunkenly all day long.
Hu Wufu's name is Yanguo and Wang Cheng's name is Pingzi. These two are representative figures at the moment. Both of them regard indulgence and openness as the highest level they pursue throughout their lives. This state is certainly fascinating, but the lifestyle of drunkenness and giving up nothing seems to be something worthy of promotion - especially in the eyes of Emperor Liu Chan of Han.
In the hall of Hu Wufu's house, seven or eight famous scholars raised their glasses and talked loudly, unrestrained and laughed happily. Among them were Hu Wufu, Wang Cheng and others.
Everyone was drinking, but suddenly, a person walked in outside the door. He smelled the aroma of the wine and couldn't help but look unhappy and said, "You don't drink, but you don't call me. You are not friends!" After saying that, he stepped in and was about to enter the table.
Hu Wufuzhi was drunk and shouted, "Meng Zu, you came here without invitation, and he said, "You are so arrogant! This wine is my pure wine, why don't you just drink it?" Seeing that the master said this, the servant outside the hall immediately stepped forward and turned the door away.
The man's name is Guangyi and his name is Mengzu. He was from a poor family, but he was quite talented. He couldn't help but say anxiously: "Yanguo, what do you mean? How can I lose my drinking banquet?"
"Hahahaha! Look at Meng Zu's expression, he looks like a dog looking for food, and he is anxious! Hahahaha..." Wang Cheng raised his glass and drank by himself. Guangyi, who stood at the door with his fingers, laughed loudly, so happy that he couldn't help himself.
Those present had long seen Guang Yi's expression that was so addicted to alcohol and that the wine was so close that it was hard to reach. He burst into laughter when he heard this, and even some people beat their feet and stamped their chests, lying on the ground and rolling on the ground.
Seeing that everyone was so Guang Yi was not angry, nor did he hide his greedy expression. Instead, he said more urgently: "I have laughed, let me go to the table!" After saying that, he took a step and was about to enter, but the servant did not receive the order from the master, and stood straight and stood still, causing Guang Yi to rise again and become furious.
"Pingzi is right. Meng Zu, if you want to enter this door, you should go to the clothes and take off your hat, go to the dog hole and shout that I will drink three times before you can enter the table!" After Hu Wufuzhi said that, he also laughed with his hands and everyone agreed, and his faces were waiting to see Guangyi's jokes.
Guangyi heard the words and scolded, "Hu Wuyanguo, you, you... OK! Do it!" After saying that, Guangyi actually took off his outer robe and hat in public and hurriedly ran outside the courtyard wall.
"Meng Zu likes wine like this, but we are not as good as us!" Seeing this, Bi Zhuo, the Minister of Personnel, held the wine jar in his hand, raised his head and whispered, the wine was filled with all his heart.
Wang Cheng stood up shakingly: "It is better to get Maoshi's praise than to drink it for seven days. I don't need to give this wine to Meng Zu? Hahahaha!"
"Yes, Maoshi's act of stealing wine is incomparable. Meng Zu is willing to be a dog and horse today, which is really a comparison!" Hu Wufuzhi also smiled when he heard this.
Bi Zhuo was the son of Bi Chen, a famous minister of Wei State. He was bold and open-minded and appointed as the Minister of Personnel. One night he got drunk and stole other people's wine. He was caught and tied to a wine jar. The next morning, the owner recognized that the person who was tied to him was the Minister of Personnel of the current dynasty, and quickly loosened his ties and apologized.
Unexpectedly, Bi Zhuo not only did not mean to blame him, but said freely: "Let me smell the fragrance of wine for a night, thank you." After saying that, he left.
Bi Zhuo was teased by everyone and said without any attention: "Look, look, the dog is out of the hole."
Everyone looked up and saw Guangyi's head stretching out from the dog hole in the courtyard wall. He looked at a group of drinkers who were laughing and scolding without getting angry. He raised his head slightly and shouted: "I want to drink! I want to drink! I want to drink!"
Hu Wufuzhi almost squirted wine with his hands and wiped his mouth, "What do you say, Maoxian?"
Bi Zhuo stood up and took a step with exaggerated steps, holding the wine cup in his hand and said, "I wish Meng Zu this glass of wine."
While speaking, Guangyi rushed back in a hurry, ignored the robes and hoods on the ground, rushed into the table, picked up the wine jar on Bi Zhuo's desk and drank it, and completely blew Bi Zhuo in the hall, ignoring it.
In the street not far from Hu Wufu's mansion, a carriage was slowly moving. The carriage looked just a wealthy family, and there was nothing strange about it. But the one sitting in the carriage was Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyue, the general of the dynasty!
