The old man in armor made the crowd in the hall whisper again.

This is also very reasonable. Since the Du family of Ezhou has been digesting the Qi and Huang states more than ten years ago, it has not taken action. However, the situation in the Qi and Huang states is not very good, especially Huangzhou, who always holds a hostile attitude towards Du's invasion, which also makes the Du family very troubled.

At present, the Du family garrisons are not only in Ezhou, but also in Huangzhou, and they also want to prevent the rebellion of local gentry in Huangzhou. However, although the gentry in Huangzhou is not satisfied with the Du family rule, they also know that it is not wise to challenge the Du family rule now, so the current situation is a stalemate.

Du's family has made no progress in the past decade, and Du Song himself was criticized by many people in the clan as mediocre and mediocre. Now he has finally obtained a county in the Central Plains, but he just handed over it for nothing or even gave it to the other party on his own initiative, which is a bit unacceptable.

Although Jun Song is a little lazy over the years, it does not mean that he knows nothing about the dissatisfaction among the clan.

He knew very well that the current situation like Du's, the challenges often came from the inside, but he was a little powerless. He didn't expect that the unintentional behavior of the third son could actually earn a county for the Du family. Although the location of this county is indeed not very good, with a small population and a large number of mountains, it is still the same county, and it is also the Central Plains.

The man in armor is his inner brother Zhao Yuanji, and his eldest son and second son's uncle. He is also his important arm and support. His opinions must be taken seriously.

But Du Song also felt that Lu Xi, as his chief think tank, was consistent with his third son's views, which probably means that it would be better not to get involved in this muddy water. This is a bit of a dilemma.

Du Song had not made a decision yet, but saw a man standing up, "Father, my son thinks what my uncle said is very much. Our Du family has always been despised among the vassals. The main reason is that we are in the three states of Hubei, Huangqi, but we have very little contact with the Central Plains, Shannan and Jianghuai, and we are not well-known in Chang'an. Why did Chang'an write a letter to us to entrust our father's observation envoy? My son personally thinks that it is because in Chang'an, Daliang, and Zhongyuan that our Du family is a remote gentry and is not qualified to be promoted to the Observation envoy. Look at the Liu family in Nanyang. The position of the Administrator has been long been obtained. It is said that Liu Tong may be appointed as the governor of the Administrator. The position of the Administrator may be granted to Liu Xuan, but our Du family owns the land of the three states, but failed to obtain the position of the Observation envoy. What is the reason? It is because we did not show that our Du family exists to Chang'an and the vassals!"

These words immediately caused a stir in the hall, and Du Shen's words were obviously more than that.

"Now this is an opportunity. Although Yincheng is small, it is the Central Plains. It involves the game between Daliang and Caizhou. Even if we are just involved, it will inevitably spread the reputation of our Du family in the Central Plains. Whether it is Caizhou or Gushi's final victory, it can help us improve our Du family's reputation to a higher level. Why not do it?"

Du Shen walked to the middle of the hall and bowed solemnly.

"My son begs my father to agree to send troops to garrison Yincheng. Whether Caizhou will become our Du family's enemy is no longer important, but we should take this opportunity to show our existence. I believe that with Yuan's scheming and ingenious plot, we will not provoke another enemy at this time. If Yuan's sage is really coming, we will not be afraid of a war. I believe that the name of our Du family can also be known by the Central Plains and Chang'an!"

Du Shen said this decisively and powerfully, and immediately received a burst of applause. Zhao Yuanji, Du Wen and several other family members sitting by the door clapping their hands to express their approval.

I have to admit that Du Shen’s words reached the most hidden secret in Du Song’s heart.

Du family owned the three states, but Chang'an always gave Du Song a position.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, the official titles given to local vassals began to be over-market, but after the Huang Chao Rebellion, Li Tang was quite cautious about the title of Jiedu.

Many places, the governors of the Shang Dynasty were unable to obtain the imperial title from Chang'an after their death, and could only take over the position of "remaining the title of "residence", for example, the three towns of Heshuo were all like this.

And it is even more difficult to gain recognition in Shannan, Huainan, Liangchuan and Jiangnan. For example, the Xu family in Guangzhou and the Ju family in Shenzhou all received only the position of governor.

Although the Du family owned the three states, they only received the title of a pacifier. For example, the governor naturally did not have to think about it. Although they repeatedly wrote letters, the strategic envoy was not approved. The second most important observation envoy has been written for several years and still has no news.

The news from Chang'an is that the Du family lived in three states, had no achievements or reputation, had little virtue and little talent, and still needed to be investigated, which made Du Song very angry. In recent years, he was too lazy to ring the wooden bell in Chang'an.

Let’s look at the Yuan family of Caizhou. After a while, the appointment of the governor of Guangzhou quickly came down, and Yuan Huaihe’s Guangcai Guanfeng envoy also came down quickly. Perhaps one or two years of experience can be achieved, so this title of comforting envoy can be brought down. How can Du Song’s mind balance?

Now that the eldest son has put on the window paper here, Du Song's heart is immediately revitalized.

It is not that the position of this observation unit is very important, but according to the regulations of the late Li Tang Dynasty, the title of comforting envoy and observing the wind envoy is generally given to those newly emerging nouveau riche in one or two states. Even if the two states are passed down for one or two generations, they can also be found.

It has been more than ten years since Du's two states won the Qihuang prefectures. Du's attitude towards Chang'an is not disrespectful, but he has never been able to get what he wants. It's nothing else, it's just that people think you have no strength and no fame.

If you can get the position you want by hiding behind with your neck and hiding behind, you can rely on your qualifications to get the position you want, then wouldn’t it make others think that this position is just like this, and that any cat or dog can get it?

The most typical example is that King Liang is clearly the mortal enemy of Chang'an, but Chang'an still has no say that he does not recognize Zhu Yun's position as King Liang, because whether you admit it or not, Zhu Yun is the top leader in the Central Plains.

Chang'an does not admit it, and other vassals must also admit it. This is where strength and influence are placed. It is all about whether to admit it or not.

The white-clothed Confucian scholar and Du Li also realized that their family was taking the initiative at the first time.

This observation has caused Du Song's heart disease, but it must be admitted that it is precisely because the comforting position has made this position too empty, so the Qi and Huang prefectures have always had objections to the orthodox and legitimacy of the Du family's entry into power. Although this is not the main reason, it is also a good excuse after all.

Du Shen's words were righteous and stern, which greatly inspired the enthusiasm of other people in the Du family. At this time, Lu Xi and Du Li realized that it would be a bit out of place just to stop them again, and might even hate Du Song's heart.

However, Lu Xi is also a person who knows this well. He interrupted quietly: "Sanlang, I think Dalang's words are quite reasonable, but I think you always have some worries in your eyebrows. You might as well say it out loud. This is the time to work together. We must take all the adverse factors into consideration so as not to have any gaps in the future. It will be too late to make up for it."

Du Li cursed Lu Xi, a slut in his heart, and threw the topic to himself. He couldn't say it. If he said it, he would probably attract some attacks on him again, but at this moment he couldn't help him.

"Father, elders, Uncle Lu is probably the same as me. According to my elder brother, we also need to fully support the Gushi army. There is no need to mention the money, money, grain and materials. Although this garrison in Yincheng has increased its reputation, it also means that we may have to fight against the Caizhou army, so we may have to be prepared. In addition, if Daliang and we all support Gushi, I judge that Gushi army may be able to survive this level this time, but I have contacted Jiang Feng, and this person is extremely ambitious. Once I have gained a foothold, I will definitely not be content with the status quo. It is very likely that we will ask us for Yincheng. At that time, will we give it, and will not say it, and we will not give it, but I am afraid that another enemy will be put on. I even have a feeling that once Gushi is full, it will probably bring us a lot of trouble."

Du Li's words immediately attracted the ridicule of the two brothers, and Du Wen said unceremoniously: "Sanlang, are you too worried? I think you are like a good dragon in Ye Gong? At that time, you advocated support from Gushi, and even used the cavalry to work hard for him. Now Gushi has the support of Daliang and wants to go to war with Caizhou. What do you mean by saying this now? What do you really think of our Du family? As for Yincheng, it must be controlled in our hands. Gushijun and others do not have the qualification to say so."

Du Li also knew that his words would not be pleasant, but he had to say them in his heart. Seeing that everyone around him nodded in agreement with his second brother's words, he could only sigh in his heart, but he was speechless. In a sense, this was just a burning fire. It would be fine if he just burned it, but he was afraid that he would become a sinner in the future, or even raise a tiger.

Now, it may be difficult to gain recognition from the people present. Du Li could only shut up and wait until he could exchange views with his two brothers. Although these two people disagree with him, they are not mediocre people. Many times they can see the key points when looking at things.
