Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2223 Disintegration of the Alliance
Linghu Defen stared at this stupid son, and reprimanded him: "Can you be smarter? People can claim to expel the eldest grandson Yan from the house, let the eldest grandson Yan enter the academy, and secretly talk to each other in a friendly manner between father and son and brothers." Fan, the big deal is that in the future, grandson Yan will set up his own family, which not only deceives a fool like you to still insist on boycotting the list, but also complies with His Majesty's wishes, only you are still believing in what you believe in!"

Linghu Xiuji was dumbfounded.

Thinking about it this way... Changsun Wuji's "yin man" really might have done this!

Now word has been released in the palace that the emperor has approved Fang Er's list, and is clearly dissatisfied with the joint boycott of the Guanlong family. "People" have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, can he have the courage to openly challenge the emperor?

In this way, I'm afraid I'm the only one who foolishly believes in what they say about "same breath" and "jointly advancing and retreating", and I don't know it when I'm being used as a knife...

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Linghu Xiuji felt resentful, and asked: "Then according to father's opinion, I agree with my younger brother to enter the academy?"

Linghu Defen said: "Not only do you have to agree, but you also have to break up with him and let him understand your difficulties. He was not allowed to enter the academy on the boycott Fang Jun list, all because he was coerced by the Guanlong family and for the sake of the family. Think about it. The relationship must be good. After all, blood is thicker than water. In the future, the youngest will learn something in the academy, and try to keep it at home to help you. Even if you can’t keep it, you have to let it take off. Being a helper of the family, you can never be an enemy!"

Linghu Xiuji was deeply convinced: "Son, go and talk to my little brother when I turn around!"

"What are you going back for? Go now!"

"Here!"

Linghu Xiuji was taught a lesson by his father, he immediately realized his mistake, returned to the study, and immediately ordered someone to call his younger brother Linghu Xiumu over.

Linghu Xiumu was born to Linghu Defen's last concubine, he was nearly 30 years younger than Linghu Xiuji, and now he is only seventeen or eighteen years old.Linghu Defen is old and has a son, and he likes this youngest very much, but because of the difference between his concubine and concubine, he will not have much political resources to help him gain a foothold in the officialdom in the future. Official position, when it comes to the vain position of a state governor, everyone is happy.

Because he was severely warned by his family not to enter the academy, Linghu Xiumu was full of resentment towards the eldest brother who had inherited the position of Patriarch, but the elder brother is like a father, and Linghu Xiuji's majesty is still there, so he didn't dare to go too far. He could only keep his face sullen, salute vainly, and said in a low voice, "Brother called me, is there something important?"

Linghu Xiuji had a smile on his face, took his brother's hand and sat down, said: "You and my brother, even if we have nothing to do, we should always talk to each other, but it's a pity that we are busy with family affairs and have an official position, so we have been neglecting our brother. Come, come, sit down, let's have a good chat today brothers."

Linghu Xiumu was in a daze, and yesterday he said forcefully that he would be kicked out of the house, and even removed from the family tree, why is he so affectionate now?
But even though he was suspicious, he sat down obediently.

Apart from the unscrupulous momentum I showed when I entered the academy, I was still very afraid of this brother more often...

Seeing his younger brother's uneasy appearance in front of him, Linghu Xiuji admired his father's wisdom even more.

In the final analysis, these are all brothers of our own family. Even if we can't help but have to separate and establish our own family in the future, it won't lead to a personal enmity and we won't communicate with each other forever, right?

What's more, it's very possible that my family still insists on boycotting Fang Jun, while other people's family is secretly hiding Chen Cang...

"Little brother, but you are still complaining in your heart that you are not allowed to enter the academy?"

"Uh……"

Seeing his brother's bright smiling face, Linghu Xiumu's heart skipped a beat, and he said against his will: "Little brother dare not..."

Linghu Xiuji sighed, and said: "Why would you dare? Even if you are really angry, you can understand as a brother. Although you and I are not siblings, we are also connected by blood, so why don't you want your success? It's just that the Guanlong family has always been united with each other, and they look forward to the eldest grandson's family. The elder grandson Wuji called on everyone to boycott Fang Jun, and there is nothing he can do about it as a brother! Our Linghu family still seems to have a bit of momentum now, but we all rely on With my father's prestige trying to support him, who will remember our Linghu family after a hundred years from now? As a brother, there is no other choice!"

Linghu Xiumu had some emotion on his face, and said, "I'll save it, little brother."

But you are slandering in your heart, so why are you so determined to send your son to the academy?
Are you not afraid of the suspicion of the eldest grandson's family and other Guanlong families?
Linghu Xiuji continued: "At this point, since the younger brother is determined to enter the academy, I can't stop it as a brother. However, in order to explain to other families, I will announce that I will expel you from the house...Of course, this is only a stopgap measure. In the future, when the rumors pass and the situation is stable, it will be natural to go back to the sect."

Go back to the clan?

Pull it down!

Entering the academy this time, if you are not promising, what use will the family want you for?If there is a future, after returning to the clan in the future, my son will inherit the position of Patriarch, so what will suppress you?At that time, the stems will be weak and the branches will be strong, so don't let your family property be taken away by you in the end...

Linghu Xiumu was moved to tears, got up and bowed down, choked with sobs and said: "Brother's love and love, my younger brother will be grateful for five! In the future, no matter whether you can make some achievements, you will definitely do your best to protect the family, and look forward to the elder brother's lead, and you will never hesitate to die." !"

What I want is just such an opportunity to become a disciple of the emperor in the future, with connections all over the court, who cares about the status of such a concubine of the Linghu family?
"Okay! It's not in vain that my brother has devoted all his heart and soul to you, and even took the risk of offending eldest grandson Wuji. As long as you remember what you said today, even if your brother is criticized by thousands of people, what fear do you have?"

Linghu Xiuji looked upright and impassioned.

"Brother don't worry, but the younger brother has achieved something, and I will never forget the teaching of my brother today!"

Linghu Xiumu expressed gratitude, and swore to God.

……

*****
Such a similar scene was staged in many Guanlong families.

The camp called by Changsun Wuji to boycott Fang Junzhi inadvertently festered internally and disintegrated...

There is never an impenetrable wall in the world, let alone the Guanlong Group, which is intertwined with each other and has a stake in each other?Each family has just made a decision to expel their children from the house on the surface but to allow them to enter the academy acquiescingly, and Changsun Wuji has already received the news.

This made Changsun Wuji, who was resourceful and strategizing, very sad, his heart was scattered, and it was difficult to lead the team...

Once upon a time, all families in Guanlong were united in one voice, and all they needed was a leader to express his attitude, and he would follow without complaint or regret. Everyone was twisted into one rope, united as one, and entered Guanzhong from Longxi to hold this emperor's land tightly. Hold it in the palm of your hand, and then look at the world with disdain.

Since the twelve generals of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, they have advanced together and retreated together, creating the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang dynasties in one fell swoop, but now they are finally showing their limitations in the face of the mighty Tang Empire.

As long as the world is stable and the world is peaceful, the imperial power will gradually be unified.

There is no war outside and no worries inside. In the face of the supreme imperial power, any powerful force is just a tiger made of paper. Now the Guanlong Group has gradually realized this. If the power is a vassal of His Majesty Li Er, if you obey his words, you can keep your wealth; or you can fight up, just like they used to usurp power and seize the throne and abolish the emperor during the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui years...

Of course, no matter what you think in your heart, you must be a "obedient citizen" on the surface.

Aristocratic families also need to pay attention to the degree of judgment. Being able to bend and stretch is the only way for these families who have been passed down for hundreds of years. Now the imperial power is tyrannical and the situation is extremely unfavorable. Naturally, they have to hide their strengths and bide their time.

No amount of resentment, ambition, no matter how much covetousness, calculation, can only be hidden in the darkest corner, waiting for a suitable time to erupt and stir up the situation...

However, for the eldest grandson's family, this was a heavy blow.

First, all the "treasures" of the Guanlongmen Clan were put on the body of Gaozu Li Yuan in one fell swoop, and they wiped out all the heroes to rule the world, making the Guanlongmen Clan grab huge benefits.And later, under the appeal of Changsun Wuji, he chose the latter between Prince Yu Jiancheng and Qin Wang Shimin, making the reputation of the Guanlong Clan reached its peak!

Since then, Changsun Wuji has been the symbol and leader of the Guanlongmen Clan!

However, Changsun Wuji's words can be described as "No one dares not to obey orders to Guan Long", and no one has ever dared to obey him and make small calculations in front of him.

Even when the emperor became suspicious of him, it did not shake Changsun Wuji's prestige as the leader of Guanlong.

But now Fang Jun's frivolous list has intensified the internal division of the Guanlongmen Clan, which directly led to the low point of Changsun Wuji's prestige.

If there is no countermeasure, in the long run, the alliance of the Guanlongmen Clan may completely collapse and become a mess...
