Volume Four, Hu Xiongzai, Section 1, Disturbed
On September 22, the fifth year of Jingtai, Chang'an, Longshouyuan.
The scenery of the dragon head comes in autumn is different, and the geese in Chang'an are not careful.
The horses galloped on the polo field, and the young children ran and cheered, and were overjoyed to win a game.
A group of ladies were drinking and having fun, and some even made bets directly on the court.
Polo has always been the favorite of the children of noble families.
The original terrain of the Dragon Head is flat, the grass is even, and it is very close to Daming Palace and Taiye Pool. It takes a few incense sticks to go out of Chongxuanmen. In addition, it is close to the Forbidden Garden, and it is very convenient to travel, hunt, and batting and entertainment.
There has been little rain in Guanzhong since the summer, but this does not seem to affect the mood of the children of the nobles and noble families.
For them, Guanzhong has severe drought, and there will always be other places where there will be no drought. Liangchuan, Nanyang, Xiangyang, Hedong, Jiangling, Tanyue, Wuyue, and these places can continuously provide money and food for Guanzhong.
"Come on, come on, Saburo, which side is good? Bet a bet and make up some fun. Ten gold? Ten gold is OK, bet, have fun."
"Okay, it seems that your father has made a lot of money. The 100 camels from Yuzhou are said to be the ones that your family has formed a relationship. Are they those Persian merchants or Sogdian merchants? Okay, twenty gold, let's have fun,..."
"Hehe, the price of spices in Chang'an City has not increased a lot this month, and it has been underwritten by the Sogdians again? OK, even the Sogdians are now going to have a relationship with your family... Okay, fifty gold, so stingy, at least one hundred gold, right?"
"Okay, Dalang, one hundred gold, it's great, I remember it,..."
Three women stood slightly higher on the terrain, feeling the lazy sunshine in autumn, and casually looking at the ecology inside and outside the stadium.
"Who is that guy?" The tall woman in a scout dress glanced at the young man who nodded and bowed everywhere, "Spending money everywhere, where do you get the local buns?"
"Don't you know Shan Niang? This guy is very popular in the city now. Yang Gongyan, the eldest son of Yang Wenchang, the Taoist temple in the west of Shannan. "The other girl who was hit by the heads was smiling and said, "It's been more than a month since I came to Chang'an City. I'm afraid that there are few people in our nine families who don't know him. He has been at the door twice in my family."
The medium-sized girl's eyes moved slightly when she heard what her friend said in her boudoir.
Yang Wenchang, the commander of Guanfeng in the West Dao of Shannan?
She heard Jiang Feng mention this person, saying that Xingyuan Prefecture is a place of kings and dominance, and suggested that Guanzhong should take over Xingyuan Prefecture and its surrounding Yang, Feng and Xingjizhou as an extension of Guanzhong's strategic depth, and at the same time, it can also prepare for the future intervention in Dongchuan.
However, the court's suggestion was endless. It took years for a long time and the news was leaked, and Uncle Yuchi was also extremely depressed. Yang Gongyan probably came to lobby for his father's public relations.
Seeing the girl's face slightly moved, the short girl laughed, "Mayn, you don't know this person yet? I heard that he and the Second Prince are quite kind, and they even wonder if they want to have a toad that wants to eat swan meat."
"Hmph, the legitimate son of a man who is observing the wind wants to climb up with a dragon and a phoenix? Let's dream." The tall woman said disdainfully: "Yang is a descendant of a eunuch. Why is he qualified to be delusional?"
"Shan Niang, you can't say that. The Yang family is a prominent family in Shannan West Road. And I heard from my brother that Yang Gong performed outstanding martial arts, and he was already beyond his father. He had the level of fixed interest period and was only a chance to enter the Little Heavenly Territory?"
The short girl Xiaoran is a gossip girl who knows all kinds of gossip news in Guanzhong and Chang'an City.
"Oh?" The short girl's words surprised Li Jin and other best friend Yuchi Yanshan, "Impossible?"
This young man looked humble and looked extremely humble in front of the children of the nobles. He was generous, so he was very popular with these noble children, but he did not expect that he was a strong man who was approaching the Little Heavenly Territory.
"Don't you believe it? This is what my brother said. Although he has never seen this guy's performance, my brother's friend Xue Yuan said this in person." The gossip girl said angrily when she saw that her best friend didn't believe it.
When they heard that it was Xue Yuan's words, Li Jin and Yuchi Yanshan couldn't help but believe it.
The Xue family is the fifth most powerful person in the younger generation of the Xu Xue family, which ranks fifth among the nine masters and noble families in Guanzhong. He has already entered the Rundan stage of the Little Heavenly Realm. It is said that he has reached the late stage of the Dan Condensation. He is recognized as the first person in the nine masters and noble families. He is known as the Five Cauldrons of Guanzhong together with four young heroes from the other four martial arts families.
It is said that not everyone can call this tripod.
Guanzhong itself has a strong atmosphere of heroism. If you are not a noble family, no one dares to challenge you. The more famous you are, the more people challenge you. And you often have no way to refuse, so you dare to take the word "Dao" and you will not dare to accept it without real materials.
Xue Yuan ranked second among the five tripods of Guanzhong, second only to Xu Mao, the first tripod of Xu family. Although Xu Mao is famous, he has rarely appeared in recent years. It can be said that among the young and middle-aged martial arts lineage in Guanzhong, Xue Yuan and Yuchi Yanxia, who ranked third, are called Yuchi Yanshan, and Yuchi Yanxia is the elder brother of Yuchi Yanshan.
If this young man entered the Guxi period, it would not be surprising among the five major martial arts families in Chang'an City, but this is the Yang family from Xingyuan Prefecture.
The Yang family originated from the brothers Yang Fugong and Yang Fuguang, but in fact, these two brothers were eunuchs. Most of these descendants were adopted by their brothers, so they did not have the surname Yang.
However, the Yang brothers treated these adopted sons very well, so these adopted sons have always regarded themselves as the Yang family, so they became the Yang family, which is well-known in Shannan West Road and Liangchuan.
This Yang Gongyan was so young that he could enter the fixed-rate period. It was shocking. His father Yang Wenchang was just a master in the Taixu period, but this Yang Gongyan was able to surpass him and surpass him, which was truly extraordinary.
"Yang Gongyan lingers in Chang'an City for the past two months, but doesn't want to return home. What is the intention?" Li Jin asked in a deep voice: "Seeking an official or seeking wealth?"
The temple of Shannan West Dao was the one who led Yang Wenchang to govern the four prefectures. It was not difficult to say that life was not difficult. The land of these four prefectures was the Hanzhong Plain, with abundant resources and a large population, so it was called a kingly land.
But Yang Wenchang was a good at scraping the ground, causing trouble for the people to be angry in these four prefectures and people to live in miserable life.
However, Yang Wenchang was so jailed for military power, supporting an army of 60,000 people, which made all parties around him look at him. He could support a army of 60,000 if the four prefectures under his jurisdiction were less than one million people. He had to doubt whether the money he had scraped the ground was thrown into the army.
Hearing Li Jin asked this question, the two best friends were speechless for a while. Even though the gossip girl was well-informed, she could not answer this question. She could only say, "My grandma, I don't know this. They all say that he admires the prosperity of Chang'an, so she came to experience the style of Chang'an... "
Li Jin shook his head.
Although she was not very concerned about affairs in the court, she was also an important figure in the Li royal family. She was often influenced by her and was not unfamiliar with these intriguing political affairs.
As Jiang Feng said, who would come to Chang'an City to seek punishment when he is fine? Either the royal family or the nobles, the outsiders who walk in Chang'an City are shorter. Who would want to come if they have nothing to do?
The visitor must have intentions and must have pictures.
When you come to the Chang'an court, you are the most likely to seek official positions. All officials at the provincial level must be selected and appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. If you cannot obtain this edict, you will only be an agent for your whole life, which is not justified.
There are also people seeking money.
Chang'an is the hub and throat for transportation to the Western Regions and the Central Plains. Sogdian, Dashi and Persia all have Chang'an as the center. Although Dashi Hu merchants are gradually moving to Yangzhou and Guangzhou, Chang'an is still the well-deserved first city in Zhongtu, and there are millions of residents to consume. Therefore, both Hu merchants and local merchants still use Chang'an as the trading center, and the goods are transferred, circulation, wholesale and distribution are all here.
Therefore, there are also many people who come to Chang'an to seek commercial business.
The reason why Li Jin was so sensitive to the Yang family was mainly influenced by Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng mentioned the Yang family of Xingyuan Prefecture three times, so naturally it was not without reason.
Xingyuan Mansion is a place where kings and domineering. Since you cannot occupy the Li family in Guanzhong, you cannot let other people occupy this place have evil intentions.
Moreover, Jiang Feng also vaguely learned that although the Yang family was very unpopular in the four prefectures of Xingyuan Prefecture, they treated the army very well, which means they were extremely motivated by the military. Wuwentang commented that "all the soldiers were willing to die for him." Therefore, after returning to Xizhou, he also wrote a letter to Li Jin to mention this point.
An army of 60,000 people was lying on the side next to Guanzhong. Guanzhong turned a blind eye, which made people amazed at the psychology of the people in Guanzhong.
Of course, it would be a bit exaggerated to say that 60,000 troops can subvert Guanzhong, but this is indeed a hidden danger. Once this hidden danger exists in a certain specific environment, it may become a fatal danger.
Thinking of the attitudes of the Dukes in the court and even their two brothers, Li Jin was a little overwhelmed. The Dukes in the court were not stupid, so naturally they would not be unable to see Yang's actions. When they came to make friends with relatives and nobles in the court, they might also be happy to see that they were successful and could grab more money from their pockets.
The two brothers also have their own thoughts. Are the Yang family and the vassal families in the west and north also deliberately trying to win over and make friends?
Even if Erlang comes to Chang'an once, it will cause such a big storm and even almost die. No wonder Erlang is unwilling to come to Chang'an.
What are the two brothers’ thoughts? Do you think the officials in the court don’t know?
But they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and looked impartial. Who knows what it is inside?
