dark side?
"The scene at that time was scary!" Zhang Rusheng lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The moment the wine bottle fell to the ground, several human heads also fell to the ground. The top ten aristocratic families who have been domineering in Youzhou for more than 50 years, only Five!"
"These five..." Swallowing his saliva nervously, Zhang Yun asked in disbelief, "Are they all involved in the assassination?"
"Some were involved in the assassination, some had ties to foreign clans, and some supported the rebels in Zhongshan County..."
"Father?" Interrupting his father's explanation, Zhang Yun looked at him with some doubts, his eyes full of worry, "Are you innocent?"
"Nonsense! Can your father and I be innocent?!" Zhang Rusheng was so angry that he scolded, "If father knew about this kind of thing, would he still let you go with the army?"
"Oh... oh, yes." Zhang Yun came to his senses and nodded in a sudden realization, "So, all those who knew were executed?"
"Probably not." Based on the situation at the time, Zhang Rusheng guessed, "All the people who were exterminated were directly or indirectly involved in this conspiracy. If they just knew about it, it might be fine, but they should have been vengeful. I think Liu Yu People, although there are a lot of grandeur, they are still quite vengeful in some respects. Those who know the truth but don't report it, have to be careful in the future."
"Fortunately, fortunately." Speaking of this, Zhang Yun was relieved, "Father never walked with those people, so he can avoid today's disaster."
"No." Zhang Rusheng smiled, shook his head and said, "Silly boy, it's not because of this."
"That's it?" Zhang Yun asked puzzled.
"In the position of father, what matters is not whether I know, but whether I have the ability to know."
"what for?"
"The aristocratic family is extremely powerful, and its palms can touch every corner of Youzhou. Whether it is the state shepherd's mansion or the county guard's mansion, there are our children. Even if I really don't know, the lord will not rule out my suspicion. "
Staring into his son's eyes, Zhang Rusheng taught earnestly: "Because my father, if I want to know, I will know."
What is wrong is not the rebellion, but the ability to rebel.
In the same way, whether you know it or not, as long as you are in this position, you will be able to control certain information, information that the middle and lower classes will never know.
When power reaches a certain level, the so-called 'political struggle' is a transparent thing.
This time it was because Liu Yu won a big victory, so he was able to deal with these aristocratic families.
But if he loses, even if he knows who stabbed him in the back, he has no position and ability to do something.
The defeated general can only wait to be impeached and step down.
"Then father..." Zhang Yun seemed to understand something, but he didn't fully understand it. Looking at his father's eyes that suddenly became loving, he asked in confusion, "Then father escaped today's disaster. Did it happen?" For what?"
Faced with his son's doubts, Zhang Rusheng did not answer directly, but suddenly changed the subject and said: "By the way, father is going to be an official again, this time it is the prefect."
"Prefect?" Zhang Yun was a little surprised, "Father, this is a promotion, is it the lord who promoted him?"
"Correct."
"Where did father become the prefect?" Zhang Yun always felt that this matter was abrupt, "The prefects in Yuyang, Guangyang, and Zhuo County all did a good job? Who wants to move and who wants to demote?"
"It's going to Liaodong to be the prefect."
"Liaodong?!" Zhang Yun was startled by the place name, "Why did father agree?"
This is too strange. My father resigned from office earlier because he didn't get along well with those dignitaries in the officialdom, so he retired at home.
I went to see the lord once today, and I suddenly wanted to be an official, and it was thousands of miles away in Liaodong.
Could it be that he was coerced by the lord?
"Don't be too suspicious. I can or cannot be an official, but I still decide to do it."
Zhang Rusheng looked at the small lake outside the corridor that was rippling by the rain, and said with a smile: "The sheriff is a high official with a salary of two thousand shi. Although Liaodong is far away, it is also the land of my Youzhou."
"Then are we going to move to Liaodong?"
"No, your mother will go with me, and you and your brothers and sisters will stay in Jicheng and serve the lord well."
"Father is not in Jicheng, how can I support this big family by myself." Zhang Yun was a little sentimental, but more fearful.
The Zhang family in Jicheng is also the foundation of the Five Dynasties.
But now that he is only a weak crown, how can He De preside over a family with many collaterals for his father?
From his son's eyes, Zhang Rusheng could read many emotions, but the deepest one was reluctance.
He still doesn't have the confidence to be able to sit in this position that represents not only an honor, but also a burden.
"Yun'er." Looking closely at this handsome son who did not know when, Zhang Rusheng said, "Father heard that you go to the enemy's tent alone, raise your sword and kill the Hugou, and fight with him." Wu Yan has been around, and he is not afraid of the burning. Son, were you afraid at that time?"
Facing his father's personal questioning, Zhang Yun said vigorously, "I'm not afraid."
"But father is afraid." Rusheng Zhang said with a smile, stroking his son's cheek with his hand, "When I heard others say it, my father was already trembling with fear."
"Father, don't worry." Because of Liu Yu's example, Zhang Yun's passion came from his heart, "If Kou can go, so can I!"
"well said."
Zhang Rusheng nodded.
Then, I don't know what to say.
After a pause for a while, he mentioned: "By the way, father will send the gift money to the lord after he takes office."
"Gift money? Didn't my lord say that Youzhou officials don't need bribes to take office?"
"Just give it." Zhang Rusheng waved his hand without hesitation and said, "You have to take the initiative to give it. If the master doesn't accept it, it will be said to be a military donation."
"Understood, father." Zhang Yun nodded, taking the matter to heart.
And Zhang Rusheng didn't know what else he needed to explain, so he simply didn't explain, and raised his hand: "Stand up."
"...Mmm." Although Zhang Yun was confused, he did as he did and stood up slowly.
Looking at this tall young man, Zhang Rusheng said with a smile that seemed to be joking but also encouraging, "Yun'er, the Zhang family in Youzhou has not been born in Jiuqing yet."
Regarding this, Zhang Yun said earnestly: "Father is in a successful career, so there must be a chance."
"Hahahahaha." Zhang Rusheng was amused by his son, so he could only respond in a sloppy manner, "Okay, let me borrow a good word from Master Zhang."
"Father, your son should also encourage himself."
With his hands in his cuffs, Zhang Yun bowed deeply to his father, thanking him for what he has done for the family for decades.
This action made it difficult to maintain the big smile on Zhang Rusheng's face, which gradually turned into a touch of sadness and relief.
After Zhang Yun withdrew, he murmured alone: "Yun'er, only when I go to Liaodong and take the initiative to divide the power of the aristocratic family, can you spread your wings like a swan in Liu Yu's place."

Two more good brothers rushed to the list, and asked Puff to work harder for them.
Chapter 87 Meet the Protagonist Little Tips Congratulations to RNG
Youzhou is undergoing great changes unseen in a century.
No matter whether it was internal or external troubles, the foundation of the family had not been shaken. Half a year after Liu Yu arrived, five families collapsed in one fell swoop.
Nearly a thousand people were beheaded one after another, and even the air began to smell of blood.
Strangely enough, the vast majority of people showed an unprecedented level of joy at how it all turned out.
Leading the Youzhou Legion to defeat Wuyan, the state shepherd Lord Liu who did not lose an inch of land and survived his family was unexpectedly assassinated by the bastards of the same Han family.
Now that moths in these countries have been copied and killed, it is naturally a happy thing.
Not only to celebrate, but also to celebrate with wine and meat!
After all, it is not only Liu Yu who was almost assassinated who has hatred for the aristocratic family, but also those working people who are 'killed' over and over again every day.
If the aristocratic family fell, not to mention being able to get back their own fields, it was always possible to get rid of their oppression.
Either go to join the army, or join the army.
In short, it is much better to be a citizen for Liu Yu than to be a dog for an aristocratic family!
Of course, the joy of the people is still mainly on the spiritual level.
There is only one force, and it is the real Nima who has made a lot of money.
"My lord, the wealth of the five great families has been returned to the treasury."
As Liu Yu's most loyal executioner, Gongsun Fan is fully responsible for the purge of the five major families, so he is naturally responsible for all the dirty work of recovering wealth.
"Oh, so soon?"
Gongsun Fan's efficiency is much higher than Liu Yu imagined.
After all, the aristocratic family's foundation in Youzhou is too deep, and there are many residual forces. Logically speaking, it should be like a grasshopper after autumn, and it is not so easy to solve.
"According to the principle that the lord must be punished when he is the leader of the villain, and the principle of not asking for threats, the general will only kill the direct descendants and branches of the family, and will not punish the small family and squires who are the minions, so there is not much resistance when cleaning. "
Of course, there must still be resistance.
But Gongsun Fan led the most elite Youzhou black armor heavy step and black armor heavy cavalry, and it was very easy to crush a few rebels who didn't know how to live or die.
"Well done!" Liu Yu affirmed excitedly, "General Gongsun acted decisively and made a great contribution! In a few days, I will show the imperial court that General Gongsun will grant you the title of Marquis."
As the current leader of the Gongsun clan, Liu Yu naturally wants to give him corresponding respect and power.
If you want the horse to run, you must feed the horse enough grass.
And this heavy reward from Fenghou Jiayi satisfied Gongsun Fan who had been busy for several days.
He bent down and bowed gratefully: "The last general thank you for your love, my lord."
"This is what General Gongsun deserves. Thank you for your hard work."
Liu Yu got up and patted Gongsun Fan on the shoulder, his eyes full of affirmation.
"My lord, this is the list of the money and fields that have been charged into the treasury. Please check and accept it." Gongsun Fan handed a file to Liu Yu, and then prepared to withdraw, "Then, I will leave first."
"Okay, let's go rest."
After receiving Liu Yu's permission, Gongsun Fan left slowly, but before he could walk out of the State Shepherd's Mansion, a girl in a strange official uniform attracted his attention.
This person is not her person.
"?"
Staring at his younger sister, Gongsun Fan showed a puzzled expression.
"Hello, Lord Gongsun!"
Gongsun Yin, who was holding a special secretary book in both hands, smiled and bowed to Gongsun Fan.Then, he walked quickly towards Liu Yu, and greeted him cheerfully: "Hello, my lord!"
"Okay." Liu Yu nodded with a slight smile, then looked at Gongsun Fan who was standing at the door, making countless question marks, and the G + left mouse button was about to fail, and asked, "What? Is General Gongsun anything else?" ?”
Gongsun Fan: "..."
You ask me what's the matter?
Also, why do you girl have the look of 'Is there something wrong with Mr. Gongsun'?
It's very strange, my sister, Gongsun Fan, has become very strange!
The original intention of me asking you to meet Liu Yu was to let you marry him, not to let you also be his minion!
However, after all, the other party is the lord, what about Gongsun Fanneng?
I can only force a smile: "No, nothing."
"Then go back and eat, the State Shepherd's Mansion doesn't care about the food."
"...here."
Gongsun Fan had no choice but to back down, and use the last remaining prestige of his executioner to stare dead at that younger sister who pretended to be a tiger—girl, if you have the ability, live in the state pastoral mansion and never go home.
"Your GIEGIE is kind of scary."
Liu Yu said so on the lips, but in his heart he still enjoyed the feeling of being guilty.
"My brother has always been like this, please forgive me, my lord." Gongsunyin said apologetically.
Good guy, forgive me, I'm a big kid.
Don't let your brother catch you.
No longer thinking about the way the siblings get along, Liu Yu turned his attention back to Gongsunyin who officially took office for the first time, as if appreciating the game account of Nikki-Dress Nuan Nuan.
Because it is ancient times after all, the materials are quite limited, and the ideas of clothing designers are also subject to many restrictions, so the customized official uniforms still cannot get rid of the unified official uniform style.
The loose black robes, the high official hats with crowns, etc., are largely unchanged.
It's just that in the measurements, Liu Yu specially asked people to make modifications, and asked to make them fit the figure perfectly.
