Chapter 3507 Who is asking for whom

Generally speaking, any political turmoil or situation shocks will be the first to know and start preparing secretly, they must be the upper class figures. Ordinary people don’t know at all, and even after it happens, they still don’t understand why the situation suddenly changes like this.

Of course, the Cui family cannot be ordinary people who don’t know anything.

Cui Yan looked up at the sky.

The weather has not been very good these days. Even if there is a sun, it will be just a cup of tea and will be covered by dark clouds.

The cold wind whistled from the north, pulling off the leaves of trees of all sizes and big in Xu County.

Except for those pine and cypress with cold-resistant needles, none of the other broad-leaved trees were spared.

So, is the big tree of Cui, a coniferous tree that can survive safely in this cold weather, or is it a broad-leaf that looks good but cannot withstand the cold wind?

Cui Yan is very careful in every step now.

But when he saw his son Cui Qin, he seemed to have no awareness of this.

Cui Yan is obviously not old and is far from the point where he needs to "beg for bones". The reason why he said this is undoubtedly a test.

Who should I test it?

The first is his son, Cui Qin.

Unlike the ones with only seedlings in later generations, ancient people, especially big families, must have advocated that many children and grandchildren have sprouted their branches and leaves. In addition to the most superficial people, there is also a rule hidden under the water, that is, there will always be good seedlings and rotten grass in a piece of field. In a big family, among the peers, a successor will be drawn out. Although not every family is as exaggerated as the Nine Dragons’ strife, in this process, generally everyone will have several opportunities. If they seize it, they will be expected to inherit the huge family assets. If they fail to seize it, or if they make a mess, they will eventually become a seedling planter.

The same is true for Cui.

Cui Yan is not disgusted with Cui Qin's ambitions, but he hates having ambitions but does not have enough ability to match.

Cui Qin did not show particularly excellent qualities before, so when he was sent to Xu County as a "proton", Cui Yan naturally chose to let Cui Qin come.

As a proton, there is not a chance.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many of them became kings.

But the problem is that Cui Qin did nothing in Xu County...

Oh, it's not completely gone...

Anyway, Cui Qin is the most familiar with the brothels and tiles in Xu County.

As young people, it is normal to be more lustful, but they cannot throw all their business aside.

Cui Yan now called Cui Qin over and told him that he was "retired". In fact, he was confirming again whether Cui Qin had political sensitivity...

But what disappointed Cui Yan was that Cui Qin did not realize that this was part of the political transaction.

Politics is the art of compromise.

Ordinary gentry children, or younger people, often think that the world is either black or white, or good or bad, but Cui Yan is very clear that in this world, most things are difficult to distinguish between good and bad, not absolute black or absolute white, but gray.

The core of politics is to balance and coordinate various interest relations.

Since it is a benefit, there are as many as there are, and there are severity. Therefore, in this process, compromise has become a necessary art.

Compromise does not mean that it is a bad thing, nor does it mean that you have to give up your principles or succumb to pressure. Instead, in this process, you find a balance between both parties or multiple parties...

The progress of the world war situation to the present is no longer a problem with Fei Qian and Cao Cao. It may also involve major changes in the future pattern of the Han Dynasty.

Only by thoroughly understanding this situation can we seize the initiative in future changes and even live a more comfortable life.

This means that we have to mention the second target of Cui Yan's move, the emperor Liu Xie.

Emperor Liu Xie wanted to balance, which was nothing new.

Any emperor with some means would do this.

To show kindness, establish authority, and balance these three items are considered as the basic skills of the emperor.

If you have good basic skills, you can have a good time and the court will be smooth. On the contrary, it will be in chaos.

Liu Xie is indeed working hard to learn and grow, and everyone can see this, but the problem is...

No time left!

If Liu Xieda was in peacetime, he could learn slowly. Anyway, he was still young, but now the crisis is imminent, he must grow up immediately and take on the responsibility of the emperor!

But Liu Xie is still hesitating...

Liu Xie didn't know where this balance point was?

Therefore, although Cui Yan had a great conversation with Liu Xie these days, there was actually not much progress.

Both sides want to use the other party to achieve their goals, but they are unwilling to make corresponding concessions.

Everyone wants to be happy, but they don’t want to move. They want the other party to take the initiative and move more...

Cui Yan's retreat as an advance is to make Liu Xie express his opinion. Otherwise, if he drags on, there may be any changes. Secondly, Cui Yan has a sense of crisis in his heart...

He has been getting close to the emperor these days, but the people in Yingchuan did not react at all. This is obviously very abnormal.

So Cui Yan's third target of testing was the Yingchuan School...

There is no need to explain this in detail, so you will understand it naturally.

In addition to these three superficial points, Cui Yan is also secretly testing the Jizhou faction.

Now this node can even be said to be the most critical moment for Cui.

Whether it is advancement or retreat, it is a very critical choice.

Cui Yan hoped that even if Cui Qin could not understand all the tricks, he could at least say some useful words. However, Cui Yan did not expect that Cui Qin's first reaction when he heard Cui Yan was about to resign was that Cui Yan had resigned, so what should Cui Qin do with his own position?

After all, in the Han tradition, if I have a good position, my son has a good position.

Although Cui Qin was a little dissatisfied with his role as a proton in Xu County, he was still very satisfied with his life in Xu County.

After all, in order to appease officials like Cui Yan, the treatment of their protons is not bad, and there will be special arrangements for food, clothing, housing and transportation. The salary of ordinary officials may be discounted. Protons like Cui Qin will not only not be deducted, but also have additional subsidies!

So Cui Qin's first reaction was that he didn't want his father to resign, but he couldn't say the reason for not resigning...

Cui Yan closed his eyes and drove Cui Qin away.

At the most critical moment, Cui Yan absolutely did not allow Cui Qin to disrupt his layout, so Cui Yan ordered Cui Qin to be suspended and he was not allowed to go out without permission. He must concentrate on playing this game and determine the difference between Jizhou and Yuzhou.

Previously, because Yuan Shao fell, Jizhou had to lower the end of Yuzhou.

Now, it’s hard to say who is asking for whom!

...

...

The news that Cui Yan wanted to "beg for bones" spread, caught many people off guard, causing an uproar among the market, and many Yingchuan children could not help but gathered together and discussed it.

In fact, many people know that the emperor Liu Xie and Cui Yan are about to go public, but they did not expect Cui Yan to withdraw his investment suddenly!

Isn’t this leaving the emperor aside?!

At the same time, Cui Yan's withdrawal of investment also vaguely means that Jizhou wants to be completely divided from Yuzhou!

"The move of the envoy Cui is to retreat as advance, but it is so cruel!"

"This retreat means that we, the people from Yingchuan, were placed on the fire!"

"As soon as Cui retreated, the situation in Shandong was corrupt, it had nothing to do with Jizhou..."

"Have you heard that if the cavalry comes this time, they will want to cut off the land of Hebei! This Cui must consider the future. If it is really cut off... then..."

"Wait, don't you think this is too coincidental? There are rumors that the land of Hebei will be cut back to Hebei... If all this is planned by some people..."

"If the cavalry really comes, can only be stopped by Yingchuan, Yuzhou? "

"Isn't there Yan Qing and Xu Jing?"

read

"Don't you know what's going on in these places?"

"If you want to keep Cui, you must give enough benefits..."

"This is simply taking advantage of the situation!"

For a moment, it was like a huge rock hitting a wave, and the sky was filled with fluttering. Everyone was talking, surprised, and angry, but they were more worried about their own acre of land.

The people's hearts in Xu County have gradually become extreme in recent years.

This situation occurs, on the one hand, because the proportion of official apes in Xu County is too high, so generally speaking, the news leaks very quickly, only happens in the court in the morning, or discusses something, and the afternoon will become a topic of discussion on the streets and alleys.

On the other hand, most people do not have the awareness of confidentiality, and sometimes they will add fuel to the fire. After all, as a citizen under the feet of the Han emperor, if you cannot talk about any political topics and the world pattern on weekdays, then what kind of qualified Kyoto people can be considered?

Of course, in the rapid spread of these news, there may not be no black gloves and white gloves from all parties.

Jizhou has the means of Jizhou, and Yuzhou also has the methods of Yuzhou. Poor ordinary people in Xuxian City are like grass in the wilderness. They are blown over there by the wind, and then hit the faces by the rain. They can only passively accept it and have no room for self-choice.

The chaos in the market is very strange and has everything, but of course, I know more or less what the current political core circle of Xu County is.

In fact, a few days ago, Xun Yu had already paid attention to the mutual accomplice of Emperor Liu Xie and Cui Yan.

This is actually inevitable, and Xun Yu also deliberately lets people not disturb him, just to see what happened to Cui Yan.

Cao Cao was in Heluo, and Xun Yu was in Xu County.
