Seeing that the ministers were quarreling endlessly, Li Chongjiu decided to temporarily recess. In the evening, Li Chongjiu decided to go to Wen Yanbo's mansion to consult him.

When he arrived at the mansion, Li Chongjiu refused to inform the mansion and went straight into the mansion. He saw Wen Yanbo drinking wine alone on the stone table in the courtyard of the mansion, looking worried. When Li Chongjiu saw it, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Wen Sima, drink good wine alone, why don't you call me?"

Wen Yanbo met Li Chongjiu and said immediately: "I heard that there are so many envoys, how can I find envoys in a humble position?"

After saying that, Wen Yanbo ordered the servant to take another small cup. If you talk about drinking, a gentleman like Wen Yanbo would have a small cup and a little bit of Qingmei drink. Wang Mahan and Hu people took it directly, or exchanged for a Shanghai bowl of cow drink. Different backgrounds and tastes are also different.

Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo each raised their glasses to drink each other, slowly opening up the conversation.

Wen Yanbo drank a glass of wine and sighed, "I sent my father to the Wang family in Taiyuan when I was young. A county duke's mansion visited the palace. The King of Han had not rebelled. Although my Taiyuan Wen family had a very famous name, it was still far inferior to the Wang family in Taiyuan. At that time, I was in the sect, and several people from the Wang family were all noble and arrogant. At that time, I secretly said that I must make a name for myself in the future and change the status of my Wen family."

Wen Yanbo paused and said, "Later, I passed the Jinshi exam and was selected as the late emperor. I became an official in Xijing. Maybe I was older and experienced more. At that time, the anger in my heart was much less. As the envoy, as the envoy said, people should not worry about being weak and not being equal. The four great gentry held high positions, and their descendants could take the lead in the embrace of their fathers and grandchildren and be high-ranking officials without any effort."

"Even I am not unlucky, let alone Erzhu Rong had done the killing of a poor family once back then, but so what? He was full of criticism and was jealous of the world."

Li Chongjiu understood that Wen Yanbo was talking about the change in Heyin. Li Chongjiu asked immediately: "Wen Sima thought I should do it?"

Wen Yanbo said seriously: "The gentry has been rising from Cao Wei for hundreds of years. Its strength is not only in the court, but also in the local area. If a large clan has no officials in the court and has not been appointed as officials, then it can only be called a local tyrant at most. Among the anti-clans, some people are in the court, but no one in the court responds to the people of the same clan, and the local area has no power, so it will definitely not last long."

Li Chongjiu nodded. When he could become a gentry, first of all, some people were good at being an official in the court; secondly, they had land and a large land population, and both were indispensable. For example, Li Chongjiu was a good example. He was suddenly named Marquis of Yang Guang, but no one supported him, so he was defeated immediately.

The strength of the aristocratic people in the local area is also related to the court. From the central government to the local government, the rule is only at the county level. Except for the county magistrate himself, the officials of a county are all appointed from the local area. The other officials are all local tyrants or gentry. In fact, it is called the expedition, but there is actually little choice. In this case, it is better to change to ordinary counties, but if the county magistrate is as strong as the gentry of the Lu family, it is basically obedient to the order.

Wen Yanbo said: "The Emperor Gaozu of Zhou and Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Tai, and the capital of the former emperors were Guanlong gentry. All Guanlong gentry had Xianbei or Hu blood and were born in the town generals. For example, the eight pillar states were mostly generals from Wuchuan Town among the six towns. Yuwen Tai, the late emperor, and even Li Yuan, the ancestors of these three were all from Wuchuan Town.

"The Shandong gentry, headed by the four major tribes of Cui, Lu, Wang and Zheng, are all orthodox Han children. Gao Huan of Qi is also a genealogy. His ancestor Gao Yin was the prefect of the Jin Dynasty, but he had lived in foreign lands for a long time and had already broken away from the customs of the Han people. Therefore, the Northern Qi emperor and the Shandong gentry can be regarded as authentic Han people. After the Great Wei split, it evolved into a dispute between the East and West between Zhou and Qi. It was not so much a battle between Yuwen Tai and Gao Huan, but rather a battle between the Guanlong gentry and the Shandong gentry."

When Li Chongjiu heard what Wen Yanbo said, he thought to himself that there were so many inside stories about the Wei battle for the tyranny of the world. At that time, the people of the Southern Dynasty were in peace and could not compete for the world, so the dispute between Guandong and Guanxi was a dispute between the world. Both emperors, generals and ministers came out from this.

Wen Yanbo said: "After Zhou destroyed Qi, the Guanlong gentry overwhelmed the Shandong gentry. After the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the first emperor was born in the Guanlong gentry. While suppressing the Shandong gentry and suppressing the Shandong gentry, he also used the power of the Shandong gentry to check and balance the Guanlong gentry behind it."

"Therefore, the country was basically stable when the late emperor was dynasty. However, after his son ascended the throne today, he moved the capital from Xijing to Dongdu, which was an uncompromising gentry to Guanlong. However, the emperor won the support of the Southern Dynasties by suppressing the Guanlong gentry, such as the current queen is the daughter of Emperor Liang and was born in the Xiao family of Lanling."

Li Chongjiu was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly said, "The emperor did not offend Shandong at the same time. The two great gentry clans of Guanlong are not loved by his uncle."

Wen Yanbo sighed and said, "I will tell you in one word that the gentry of the Southern Dynasty only knows the romance and romance, so how can I support it? Now the world is in chaos. The emperor would rather avoid Jiangdu for the time being than return to the eastern capital Xijing. It is the distrust of the two great gentry of Guanlong and Shandong."

After listening to Wen Yanbo's analysis, Li Chongjiu felt refreshed about the situation in the world at the moment. It was said that Yang Guang's temporary avoidance from Jiangdu was a fool, but if he was not in his position, he would not do his own politics. How could outsiders understand that Yang Guang's situation was at this time?

When I talked about it, the Lu family of Fanyang that I was going to deal with. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the power of the gentry in Shandong was not as good as that in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but the centipede insect died but did not stagnate. The Lu family, which died but did not stagnate, was actually the uncrowned king who controlled the local resources of Zhuo County. From the Northern Wei Dynasty to the end of the Sui Dynasty, for more than 500 years, the Lu family was already deeply rooted in Youzhou. Zhuo County now has 90,000 households, while Li Chongjiu is now Shanggu, Liaodong, and Liaoxi counties. In addition, the number of households in the two towns of Huaihuang and Yuyi is less than 40,000 households. With the grassland tribes, it is only more than 30,000 tents, which is less than the population of Zhuo County.

Li Chongjiu asked immediately: "Who is the head of the Lu family in Fanyang right now?"

Wen Yanbo said, "It is Lu Chisong, the son of Lu Sidao, and now the Order of Hedong. I heard that he is a good friend of Li Yuan. At present, Lu Chisong's younger brother Lu Ziqian is the presidency of the major event in his hometown in Zhuo County!"

Li Chongjiu nodded and thought to himself that the two brothers were officials in the court and the other was the patriarch in the local area, which echoed inside and outside.

Li Chongjiu asked, "Does Sima Wen know Lu Ziqian?"

Wen Yanbo thought about it and said, "I don't know Lu Ziqian, but Lu Chengqing, the son of Lu Chisong, wrote a few poems and sang them during the training meeting. The details were very pleasant."
