The second year of Kaiyuan, December 13th.

Mr. You Yuanfeng, who had a brief political glory in the same era as Yang Daosi and Liu Jie, left.

You Yuanfeng's death was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the You clan.

You Yuanfeng's career in the first half of his life was undoubtedly very smooth. He was promoted to the position of the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall in his early forties. In his era, at that age, he was second only to Yang Daosi and Liu Jie.

Everyone has his choices and pursuits.

In order to stabilize the situation, Zhao Zhi delegated all his rights to Yang Daosi and Liu Jie. The three parties united and expelled most other aristocratic families and several political oppositions from the court.

As a result, the court formed an imperial power faction, with the left prime minister and the right prime minister, and the three powers equilibrium.

Under this circumstance, Zhao Zhi intends to support a political force with poor officials as a collective collective in addition to the three major factions, strengthen the power of the imperial power faction, and balance the left prime minister and the right prime minister.

Zhao Zhi's ideal candidate was You Yuanfeng, who had just entered the Political Affairs Hall as the prime minister. He hoped that he would be the leader of this political force.

But there is one condition, that is, You Yuanfeng must establish his own family, separate from the You family, and be an isolated minister.

This is normal. This is the case with the Yang clan. Yang Daosi wants military power and provides sufficient security guarantees for the family. Zhao Zhi can give it to you, but it is not without conditions. For example, Yang Daoan became the governor of Shuzhou and was in charge of tens of thousands of troops.

The Yang family finally fulfilled their wishes, but they also paid a certain price. Yang Daoan set up his own family. Although he is of the same origin as the Yang family, he is no longer the same family.

At that time, the You family had entered a period of decline. If You Yuanfeng chose to establish his own business for the sake of personal political future, interests and status, then the blow to the entire You family would undoubtedly be devastating.

You Yuanfeng finally chose the family.

You Yuanfeng's choice greatly united the hearts of the entire family. In the following twenty years, although the You family declined step by step, there was no major turmoil. He was low-key to the outside world, but increased education and cultivated talents at the inside.

Although You Yuanfeng retreated from the officialdom early, it does not mean that he has no status.

In fact, although the patriarch of the You family is You Mingyuan, everyone knows that the true leader of the You family has always been You Yuanfeng. In the group of aristocratic families, You Yuanfeng's seniority and reputation are no less than Yang Daosi and Liu Jie.

With the passing of You Yuanfeng, to a certain extent, the Jin Dynasty was revived to a certain extent. Only Liu Jie was left in the Golden Generation, and an era was completely drawn to an end. Their generation completely became history, and the political stage in the future will be dominated by others.

This metaphor is just right for a new generation to replace old people.

Li Xun stood there in plain white clothes. He was You Mingyuan's eldest son-in-law. In terms of seniority, he should be standing in a relatively high position, but now he is standing very far away, a place that is not noticeable.

This was specially arranged by You Mingyuan, not because Li Xun had just lost everything and was cold when he left, and he didn't want to be implicated, so he deliberately alienated Li Xun.

This is not the case. With You Yuanfeng's status and fame, there must be a lot of people coming to pay their respects at his funeral, and there will be many people from aristocratic families, and many of these people were involved in Li Xun's removal this time. Li Xun came in and it would be embarrassing.

Today is December 15th, You Yuanfeng left at noon the day before yesterday. Li Xun received the news and immediately rushed to You Mansion.

Li Xun is the eldest son-in-law of the You family. There are many things he asked him to do, but You Mingyuan did not do this because Li Xun was still weak and gritted his teeth. He just helped his good brother Zhu Zhengguo handle the funeral, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the old man left too.

Li Xun rushed to You's house and stayed for less than two hours. He could not bear it and almost fainted.

Under You Mingyuan's persuasion, Li Xun finally went home to rest. He did not participate in some tedious things in the first two days of funeral.

Before his death, You Yuanfeng made an explanation that after his death, the funeral was kept simple and the cremation was cremated. The ashes were not buried in the family tomb, but in Youzhou, Shannan.

You Yuanfeng's decision was very unexpected.

For people of this era, cremation is very rare. Only those Buddhists or devout Buddhists choose cremation, and You Yuanfeng has no belief.

A noise suddenly came from outside the door. Li Xun woke up from his thoughts, looked up and a large group of people walked in.

Most of these people are known to Li Xun.

Lu Zhongxun, Wang Laozhi, Chen Hu, Xie Shiyuan...

After they finished the process, they started talking to You Mingyuan beside them.

Chen Hu glanced around and happened to see a middle-aged man in his forties staring at him.

He knows this person.

Chen Hu walked over.

"I have met the head of the Chen family."

The middle-aged man saluted Chen Hu.

Chen Hu pulled the middle-aged man to a secluded place, and then asked in a low voice: "Qingpo, there have been days when I haven't seen your second uncle, what's wrong with him?"

After paying one million yuan in each of the money and grain, Zhao Xun finally chose to open the door.

The assassination of Li Xun by Ge Hong made a storm in the city, but it was just a thunder and a little rain, and it ended up leaving nothing.

Of course, Zhao Xun found a reason afterwards and deprived Ge Hong of his title and official position.

Zhao Xun already gave Ge Hong a very good face. After receiving the imperial edict, even if Ge Hong did not go to the palace to apologize in person, he should at least submit a memorial to express his intention to meet him and this matter will be over.

But how long has it been, Ge Hong has no movement at all.

The middle-aged man was named Ge Qingpo, and he was the eldest son of Ge Hong's younger brother.

With the extinction of Ge Hong's direct lineage, Ge Qingpo has actually become the best candidate for the next generation of Ge clan leader.

Facing Chen Hu's inquiry and confusion, Ge Qingpo smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Second fell ill in bed and ignored anyone. Many people have persuaded him, but Uncle Second..."

Speaking of this, Ge Qingpo sighed, shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

"Take good care of your second uncle and let him... let go!"

Chen Hu didn't know what to say. If he hadn't had something to do with Ge Hong, he wouldn't want to care about the bad things of the Ge family.

Ge Qingpo looked at Chen Hu, then whispered: "Head of Chen, the family... is currently in trouble. Can you delay the donation of money and food?"

After hearing Ge Qingpo's words, Chen Hu frowned: "Compared with the things that your Ge family committed, what is this little money and food?"
