Chapter 592 Temptation

Half a month passed by in a hurry, and the canonization ceremony of the gods and beasts of the country was gradually approaching.

Invitations were also sent out one after another. Although the time was short, many forces still promised to send people to watch the ceremony for Suzaku's sake.

Different from the last World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference, this time the Suzaku Canonization Ceremony also attracted many famous Confucian scholars. And Shang Ji also received them with a high standard of etiquette, and at the same time, he was trying to take the opportunity to subdue a few, so as to make up for the tragic shortage of literati in Pingzhou.

Due to the tight schedule, few of the princes were present in person, but most of them sent their confidantes to come.

Liu Bei sent Jian Yong, his most confidant counselor, and Zang Ba as guards. Cao Cao sent Cheng Yu, the top strategist he had recently conquered, along with Xiahou Dun.

Dong Zhuo's emissary is an old acquaintance Jia Xu, I don't know if he was afraid, Hua Xiong, who was beaten up by Shang Ji last time, didn't come, but Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the Northland, came!

Han Fu sent Jushou out, and the same old acquaintance Geng Wu also came.

Yuan Shao sent Xun Chen and Yan Liang, but it needs to be explained that this person and Xun Yu are brothers. The only achievement in history is to trick Han Fu into giving up Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shu dispatched Ji Ling, the only military general who could do anything, and a historical counselor named Yang Hong was with him.

Sun Jian was interested, and directly sent out Sun Ce, who was just thirteen years old. Of course, Sun Ce also has Han Dang as his assistant.

Well, the future Xiaobawang's trip is purely for gaining insight, and the real person in charge is Han Dang.

Kong Rong dispatched Wu Anguo, and Ding Yuan's representative was still Zhang Yang. Gongsun Zan dispatched the combination of Guan Jing and Yan Gang, which was considered very important from Gongsun Zan's point of view.

Lu Zhi didn't know why, but directly refused to attend the ceremony. Shang Ji speculated that it might be because Lu Zhi was completely disappointed in himself.

Originally, Lu Zhi attached great importance to Shang Ji, and regarded him as his main ally against Dong Zhuo in the future. However, the trend of warlords in the Shang Dynasty became more and more obvious, and Lu Zhi became more and more disappointed.

Speaking of which, Lu Zhi's situation is getting worse and worse. Although he is powerful, he is still far behind Dong Zhuo. Moreover, the tendency of the princes in various places to be independent is becoming more and more obvious. Even if Dong Zhuo is eliminated, the big man is almost finished!

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Lu Zhi had no way to stop it, which was tantamount to torture for a true loyal minister like him.

According to the news from Qian Huan, Lu Zhi, Bingzhou Mu, was aging very quickly. Lu Zhi, who was just in his forties and in his prime, looked like a sixty-year-old man in his sixties in appearance.

Shang Ji could only sigh deeply at this. Feeling the conscience, Lu Zhi treated him very well at the beginning, but unfortunately he has already embarked on another path.

Shang Ji is also very pessimistic about Lu Zhi's future.

Everyone is a treacherous minister who betrayed the great man, but you, Lu Zhi, are a loyal and good minister. This kind of emotional distortion makes the princes more and more alienated and indifferent to Lu Zhi.

If Lu Zhi initiates a call for Dong Xiwen now, it is hard to say how much the princes of the world will respond.

Compared with Lu Zhi's inhumanity, Lu Bu, who is also in Bingzhou and is half of Lu Zhi's subordinate, gave more face. Immediately after receiving the invitation, he brought Zhang Liao to watch the ceremony in person.

Lu Bu was also the only leader of the power among the princes who came in person.

In addition, there is a very special existence among the guests - Cai Yong!

Cai Yong is here on behalf of Liu Bian!

This is very interesting, everyone in the world knows that Liu Bian is Dong Zhuo's puppet, and Cai Yong is the first group of people who defected to Dong Zhuo.

As a result, Cai Yong became Liu Bian's envoy and entered Xiangping with Jia Xu one after the other. This had to make people have other thoughts in their hearts.

Of course, the above-mentioned guests are only representatives of the well-known princes, and many lesser princes who have not been heard of in history also sent representatives.

There are more than 200 counties in the Han Dynasty, and the sheriff of each county and even the county magistrate of each county have the potential to become princes, and the addition of players has greatly strengthened this trend. There are princes, big and small, all over the place.

Even many princes are originally composed of a bunch of small princes.

There is no fight now, only because Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Shang Ji and other big princes are still trying to rectify the internal affairs.

Once the accumulation is completed, there will definitely be wars everywhere!

Anyone with a little vision can see this trend, so many people are taking the opportunity to find a place to stay.

For example, the famous Yingchuan Academy also sent a representative, and the person who came was Xun You, his nephew who was six years older than Xun Yu!

It is said that this grand ceremony will soon become an internal gathering of the Xun family, which also shows the terrifying strength of the Xun family from the side! .

Xun You first participated in the canonization ceremony of the divine beast and came to watch the ceremony. Secondly, it can be said that the real mission is to discuss the establishment of a branch of Yingchuan Academy in Pingzhou.

Yingchuan is a good place, with outstanding people, famous ministers and generals, and to a certain extent, it can be said that Yingchuan has always played the role of the behind-the-scenes controller of the empire.

However, it is not safe!

Yingchuan is located in the central part of the Huaxia District, surrounded by flat rivers, and there is no danger to defend. It is a typical place of the Fourth World War. Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, Yingchuan was one of the hardest hit areas.

According to the historical process, Yingchuan was also plagued by disasters, and the famous Yingchuan Academy was even destroyed in the flames of war.

Several big families in Yingchuan began to seek a way out, searched around Huaxia District, and found out that the one with the highest safety factor was Pingzhou ruled by Shang Ji!

How did the Gongsundu family rely on the Liaodong land for so many years in history? It relies on the superior geographical environment of Liaodong! A large number of people spontaneously went to Liaodong to escape the war, providing a large number of talents for the construction of Liaodong. Although there are not many real top talents, there are a lot of junior and middle-level talents!

Now Shang Ji finally enjoys this benefit.

According to Xun You, as long as Shang Ji nods, the major families of Yingchuan will set up a separate courtyard in Pingzhou and send some clansmen to move to Pingzhou. Yingchuan Academy will also set up a branch in Pingzhou to divert some of the students from the academy to Pingzhou.

According to Xun You, he represents dozens of big and small families in Yingchuan headed by the four families of Xun, Chen, Han, and Zhong.

These four great families are incredible, not to mention the Xun family. The Chen family has Chen Qun, and Zhong Shi has Zhong Yao. They are all top S-level talents. The least well-known Han family also has Han Rong, who is the Da Honglu of the dynasty, a senior official of the Jiuqing rank who is serious!

Among the remaining aristocratic families, large and small, although their energy is not as large as that of the four Yingchuan clans, they add up to a powerful force that even Dong Zhuo has to pay attention to!

If all these families moved to Pingzhou, Shang Ji's strength would immediately undergo an explosive improvement. Even if only a part of the collateral comes, it can greatly improve the overall strength of Pingzhou.

However, facing this temptation, Shang Ji did not dare to agree easily.

Aristocratic family, this is a troublesome thing for the ruler!

In real history, to a certain extent, it can be said that the Eastern Han Dynasty died at the hands of aristocratic families.

Jin's weakness and corruption can also be attributed to the expansion of the aristocratic family to a large extent.

You must know that the Chen family and Chen Qun created the poisonous Jiupin Zhongzheng System.

For a while, Shang Ji was caught in a tangle of left and right!
