Chapter 231: Troublemaking
Today is the day when the first batch of Cai Mansion''s books are scheduled to be shipped. Fei Qian came to Cai Yong''s house again.
Since he has been coming here a lot recently, it is a bit inconvenient to have to report every time, so Cai Yong simply informed the concierge that if Fei Qian came by himself, he could come in directly without having to report...
?So the concierge saw Fei Qian coming from a distance, so he quickly ran down the steps, walked up a few steps to meet him, gave a big salute, and hurriedly led the way.
Fei Qian took out a small bunch of five baht coins from his arms, threw it to the concierge, and said, "I can do it myself, no need to bother." Then he entered Cai Mansion amidst the joyful thanks of the concierge of Cai Mansion.
The housekeeper of the Cai Mansion was instructing people to clean the courtyard. When he saw Fei Qian coming, he bowed to Fei Qian and said, "I have seen Mr. Fei, the old man is in the study..." After that, he would lead Fei Qian forward.
Fei Qian returned the favor and said, "Don''t dare to bother the old housekeeper, just go away."
“That’s fine. Mr. Fei Xiaolang, I didn’t feel like eating the preserved meat this morning. Please help me if it’s convenient for me, Mr. Fei...”
?Oh, this old man Cai is probably not very happy.
?So Fei Qian responded, offered his hand to the old housekeeper, and went to the study.
When he arrived at the study room, Cai Yong saw Fei Qian. He first motioned for Fei Qian to sit down, and then said: "... Recently, many scribes have come out to hang seals..."
?Fei Qian reacted quickly. He was trying to undermine Dong Zhuo and Li Ru by not resisting!
For a government or a policy to operate as a whole, it is already very impressive that it can only extend to one county at most with just a few people. If it wants to expand, it is impossible without grassroots officials.
?Although the entire Sili area is not as good as those big states, the population density is quite high. Without the officials at the bottom, how can the government orders of the court be conveyed?
??Now that these officials are resigning, it is equivalent to cutting off Dong Zhuo and Li Ru''s plan to move the capital! This move really hits home. If it continues, it will turn this capital relocation into a verbal plan that can only exist in the court, but cannot be implemented...
This can be regarded as a special place in the Han Dynasty. For the local powerful people in the countryside, they are not qualified to fight in the court, but it does not hinder their status in the countryside. No matter who is the winner in the court in the end, They are inseparable from their assistance, so perhaps during the betting process, some rural tycoons were killed by those in power, but as long as the vast majority of rural tycoons are willing to bow their heads to the winner, they will be accepted and survive. This cycle continues until the next winner comes...
?Hence, the struggle between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei, for these rural powerful men who serve as low-level officials, they will fall to whoever is stronger, and they will not have any special opinions. And this time this group of people showed such a tough attitude, it must be because Dong Zhuo''s move to move the capital has touched the foundations of these rural powerful people.
After leaving the homeland, it became an overseas Chinese surname!
How can this group of people accept this?
Especially the Hongnong Yang family from Sili’s native Tianxia Crown Clan!
??Once forced to move to Chang''an, it would be no less than a huge disaster for the Yang family who had been running Sili for more than a hundred years!
??However, the news of the capital relocation was transmitted so quickly, and the resignations of grassroots officials were so coordinated. It is simply impossible to say that there was no one behind it...
Fei Qian thought for a while and said, "There may be someone hiding behind the scenes..."
Cai Yong nodded, then shook his head.
Because the officials who resigned this time did not belong to the same faction. Some belonged to the Yang family, some belonged to the Yuan family, and some still did not know which faction they preferred...
Officials affiliated to the Yang family resigned. This was the proper intention, and Cai Yong could completely understand it.
But before, he felt that Yuan Wei was silent in the court and completely failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a third official. Now he found that Yuan Wei''s faction was also doing this kind of behavior. This made Cai Yong a little confused. This Taifu Yuan What is Wei''s attitude?
?At this moment, the old housekeeper of the Cai Mansion came to report in surprise, saying that there had just been rumors in the neighborhood that both Yang Taiwei and Huang Situ had resigned due to illness! Cai Yong asked: "Is there any news about Taifu Yuan and Xun Sikong?"
The old housekeeper shook his head, indicating that he had not heard anything about these two people, and then withdrew again.
Yuan Wei…
Xun Shuang…
Cai Yong frowned tightly.
??The Yang family of Hongnong really fell out with Dong Zhuo this time, and the breakup was so complete...
But in comparison, the Yuan family and the Xun family appear to be much more ambiguous...
Cai Yong thought about it carefully and suddenly discovered a problem. Those low-level officials who resigned, who had some connection with the Yang family, belonged to the Hongnong Yang family faction. Basically, they all quit the government, and the other faction was also very large. , it seems that only a small part of the Yuan family members who have many connections have withdrawn.
As for those whose factions are not clear yet, some are some small gentry in the Heluo area, and the other may be followers...
As a member of the Xun family who has just ascended to the position of the Three Dukes, they are also extremely low-key. The Third Duke Xun Shuang is naturally more eye-catching, so it is understandable that he stays behind closed doors. However, I heard that even Xun You claimed to be ill and refused to publish anything. Any opinions on moving the capital will inevitably have some problems.
What are the Yuan family and Xun family doing?
In fact, anyone who has lived in one place for a long time would be willing to move to a relatively unfamiliar place without any preparation?
Besides, what if you move from a relatively affluent place to a relatively not very good place?
Therefore, Cai Yong, like most people, is unwilling to move the capital from the bottom of his heart. However, Cai Yong also knows that although he has a certain reputation in the cultural world, when it comes to political control and influence, it is different from the current situation. Comparing these three officials, they are really far behind...
It can be said that all the officials in the entire imperial court are now looking at the direction of these people of the Three Dukes. The attitude of the Three Dukes will determine the attitude of the vast majority of officials towards the relocation of the capital!
With the current situation, the two largest factions in the imperial court, the local Hongnong Yang family, have unsurprisingly expressed strong opposition, while Xun Shuang, who has just ascended the throne from Yingchuan in the opposition, has an unclear attitude...
The Yuan family, which has a large number of disciples and former officials, whether in the government or the public, or across the country, is unpredictable. It may be said that they support the relocation of the capital, but the Yuan family has also shown some opposition; if it is said, Oppose it, it doesn’t seem to be as thorough as the Yang family’s opposition...
Cai Yong has been thinking about it since the morning, and he didn''t even have the heart to eat breakfast. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind, and he thought of a possibility, but then he rejected this terrible idea...
?? Cai Yong looked at Fei Qian beside him. Perhaps he was a bystander, but Ziyuan could see more clearly...
Why didn’t Yuan Wei oppose moving the capital in history?
There was once a saying that Yuan Wei was timid by nature, so he was afraid of Dong Zhuo and did not dare to oppose him. But after experiencing so many events, including two party imprisonments and even palace changes, he would still be so timid?
so…
