Capital Datang

Li Yin walked in the Kshatriya residential area of ​​Chola City, admiring the demeanor of Hu Han women on the street, but he also found it quite interesting.Moreover, in this area, some Brahmin young men and women can be seen playing here from time to time, especially the Central Plains products in the shops on both sides, which make them linger.

Li Zhen and Li Yun next to him also kept helping Li Yin introduce the buildings on both sides. Some restaurants and famous shops were the focus of the introduction. The place they are walking now is similar to a commercial street, with various shops on both sides. There is a lot of traffic, but after crossing this street, there are residential areas one after another.

Passing through the houses, Li Yin and the others came to a street with few people. On the east side of the street, there was a huge house. The whole house was mainly built in Tang style, with some Tianzhu local The decorative style is unique.

At this time, Li Yun pointed to this big house and introduced: "Sixth Brother, this is Wang Xuance's home. Last year, he and others moved his family here from the Tang Dynasty. There is an old mother, and three children, and some old servants brought from Tang Dynasty."

"Oh?" When Li Yin heard that it was Wang Xuance's home, his heart was moved, and he said immediately, "I don't know if Xuance is at home. If he is, can we go and visit?" Capital Datang 585

"Xuance asked for leave today. He said that a friend is visiting, so he should be at home now. Besides, let's ask for a cup of tea. The weather in Tianzhu is really terrible!" Li Zhen said while holding a folding fan and fanning it fiercely. Seeing that his forehead was covered with sweat, after all, this place happened to be located in the tropics, and they had been walking on the street for a long time, so they naturally felt extremely hot.

Li Zhen's attendants knocked on the door, but an old servant came out.This person saw Li Zhen and Li Yun next to Li Yin at a glance, and was startled at the time, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, then welcomed Li Yin and the others into the front hall for tea, and at the same time someone went to report to Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance was having a drink with some visiting friends in the garden of the front yard, and he was even more surprised when he heard that Li Zhen and Li Yun came together, and they were accompanied by a young man, even though he didn't know that Li Yun The news of the arrival, but let Li Zhen and Li Yun personally accompany.Is there anyone else besides Li Yin?

Thinking of this, Wang Xuance immediately stood up, and was about to rush to the front hall, but the one next to him was wearing a blue robe.The elegant young man grabbed him and said, "Xuance, why are you drinking well, yet you want to run away?"

Just now the servant leaned into Wang Xuance's ear and whispered the report. After all, not everyone knew about the arrival of Li Zhen and Li Yun.However, when Wang Xuance saw being stopped by the young man next to him, he was also taken aback.Then he slapped his forehead and said: "Look, I'm confused. Brother Cui, don't you want to meet His Royal Highness King Jiang and King Yue? Now they are in the front hall of my house, and there is also a young man who came with them , I guess it is probably His Royal Highness King Qi, who just happens to be a brother so I can introduce you to him!"

The young man surnamed Cui heard that Li Zhen and Li Yun were coming.At that time, he was overjoyed, but when he heard that Li Yin might come, he was surprised.Then he exchanged glances with the other three people sitting there, except for one young man with two beards who was delighted, the other two were the same as the young man surnamed Cui, with a complex look on their faces. "color".

Wang Xuance didn't notice the strange looks on the faces of his friends, he immediately dragged them to the front hall.As a result, I soon saw the three of Li Yin who were drinking tea.And when Wang Xuance saw that it was really Li Yin, he immediately went up to meet him very excitedly and said, "My servant, Wang Xuance, pays homage to His Royal Highness King Qi and the two popes!"

Li Yin almost laughed out loud when he heard Wang Xuance call Li Zhen and Li Yun. Li Zhen and Li Zhen chose the name pope by themselves. At first, he suggested that they both call themselves Pope, but they felt that it was not imposing enough. Because of the little selfishness in my heart, I changed the pope to the pope.

However, when Li Yin saw the people behind Wang Xuance, he was stunned, because he always felt that one of them was a tall, thin young man who was about the same age as himself, as if he had seen it somewhere, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to be there. What an impression.

At this moment, Li Zhen smiled and said, "Xuance, are the people behind you the friends who will be entertained today, why don't you introduce them to us?"

When Wang Xuance heard this, he also pulled the elegant young man surnamed Cui to introduce him: "Your Highness, these are all my good friends when I was in Chang'an, and all of them came from aristocratic families. Brother Cui Jing comes from the Cui family of Boling, and his talent and learning are the first among us."

Then Wang Xuance pointed to a handsome black-faced guy behind him and introduced: "This is brother Li Bing, from the Li family of Zhao County, not only good at literature, but also good at martial arts. He just graduated from the military academy this year, and he is the junior brother of the two popes! "

Li Zhen and Li Yun's eyes lit up when they heard this. They came from a wealthy family and they could graduate from a military academy.

Next, Wang Xuance introduced the other two, and it turned out that they were all from aristocratic families. Among them, the bearded Zheng Xiao was from the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the young man who made Li Yin very familiar was named Cui Huang. Born in the Cui family of Qinghe, he is the cousin of Cui Yu and Cui Mengxue.

As soon as he heard Cui Huang's identity, Li Yin suddenly remembered, no wonder he saw the other person familiar. When he was pursuing Cui Mengxue, he had a conflict with Lu Hong from Fanyang Lu's family. At that time, it was this Cui Huang who was with Lu Hong Later, Li Yin once suspected that the reason why Lu Hong went there was probably caused by Cui Huang, but later, because there was no evidence, and because Cui Yu wanted to solve the internal problems of the Qinghe Cui family by himself, he ignored it. I didn't expect to meet him here in Tianzhu.

And thinking of Cui Huang's identity, he also remembered the identity of Cui Jing and Li Bing. At the beginning, he and Wu Xing Qiwang had a conflict because of suppressing industry and commerce. Among them, these young people saw the public opinion in the newspaper As a tool, they started a Confucian newspaper, hoping to compete with their own Datang Daily. Unfortunately, they failed miserably in the end. However, they did not give up and still supported the publication of the Confucian newspaper.Although the influence of the Confucian Daily is still not comparable to that of the Datang Daily, it can be regarded as one of the most influential newspapers in the Tang Dynasty, which shows the abilities of these young people.

He has never heard of that Zheng Xiao, but if he can walk with young people like Cui Jing, he must be no ordinary person.

Although these people were in an opposing position to me at the beginning, with Li Yin's current status, he naturally would not have any retaliation against them. On the contrary, he admired the abilities of these people, so he laughed and said: "It turns out These are the founders of the Confucianism Newspaper, I have only heard the names of a few young masters, but I have only met them today, what a joy to congratulate!"

Cui Jing and the others were quite embarrassed when they heard Li Yin mention the events of the year.Especially that Cui Huang, his father won the position of patriarch of Qinghe Cui Clan from Cui Yu, but now Cui Yu's younger sister is one of Li Yin's Confucians, and Cui Yu himself holds an important position in Li Yin's hands. Coupled with what happened back then, it made him feel very embarrassed when facing Li Yin.Capital Datang 585

As soon as Li Zhen and Li Yun heard Li Yin's words, they both understood immediately. They looked at Cui Jing and the others with some amusement, but Wang Xuance was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that he was also frowning, feeling a little regretful. Pull a few friends over.

However, people like Cui Jing deserved to be from a wealthy family, and they quickly recovered. Cui Jing, the leader, stepped forward and said: "The grass people didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and they committed crimes. Please forgive your sins, His Royal Highness King Qi! "

And Li Yin laughed again when he heard it: "Don't get me wrong, everyone had different positions back then, so there is no right or wrong, but now everyone is overseas, so naturally we must unite as one, otherwise we will make those foreigners laugh ?”

Hearing that Li Yin didn't mean to blame, Cui Jing and the others were relieved, even the irrelevant Zheng Xiao. Those who fought with Li Yin in the ring back then also belonged to their Zheng family, so from now on, he was also a little worried about being blamed by Li Yin.

In fact, the reason why Cui Jing and others are so cautious in front of Li Yin is mainly because in recent years, the life of the aristocratic families in Datang has become more and more difficult. With the rise of industry and commerce, they can no longer control some As a result, the family's finances have been greatly reduced, and the land alone is not enough to feed all the people.

So under such circumstances, these aristocratic families had to let go of their so-called face and began to actively participate in some commercial activities in order to make profits.

In addition, after Datang's domestic business boomed, the revenue of the treasury also increased day by day. For this, Li Shimin immediately increased investment in education for the poor, and even built many libraries, so that more and more people have the conditions to study , As a result, this also made the younger generation of aristocratic families face more and more competition, and the road to imperial examinations became more and more difficult.

It is also under such circumstances that the influence of the aristocratic families in Datang has declined sharply, which also makes the children of aristocratic families like Cui Jing and Li Bing no longer have the pride they used to.For example, Li Yin, if Cui Jing and others saw him back then, he would definitely not take the initiative to apologize like he is now.

Of course, there was another reason why Cui Jing and the others lowered their stance so much to seek Li Yin's forgiveness, and this was also the main purpose of their visit to Wang Xuance today.
