Ye Chang's punch at Li Longji was suppressed without a sound, while the beating of Yang Chu in the street in Shou'an was secretly passed on by people with intention or unintentional, and became a joke in Chang'an city. As for the matter of marrying the princess, it will naturally be left alone. Even Yang Zhao himself has no shame in making such a request to Li Longji. Li Longji originally wanted to change the princess - obviously longevity was impossible, but after hearing this, several of his princesses of the right age threatened to follow the example of Twenty-nine Niangs and beat Yang Chu up. So the matter was postponed indefinitely. Li Longji wanted to delay it until everyone forgot about it, and then pretended that it didn't happen. Chen Xiaoer and Chen Pei are still selling their newspapers, and there is no news about this conflict in the newspapers. Du Fu is still a very humane person. If the news about Ye Chang is likely to be negative, it will not appear in the "Min Bao". Ye Chang also lives in seclusion. Although he invites many people to his house to discuss matters, some people also take the initiative to visit, causing a constant flow of people in front of his house. Soon, the hot spot in Chang'an City shifted to other places. Li Longji led his huge team of followers and began the winter hunt. All the dignitaries in the capital, who could find a way to follow, followed to Lishan to join in the fun. . Anyway, taking the train on track is fast and stable, and the transportation volume is large. At this moment, Yuan Chao, a minor official from Taizhou, came to Chang'an City. Yuan Chao, who is in his twenties and is about to turn thirty, is a native of Taizhou. His visit to Chang'an this time was originally for official business, but he also had some selfish motives, so he brought his younger brother Yuan Ying with him. "Brother, it's true as the rumors say, the tracks are much easier to use than the original roads. As long as the roadbed is raised, even if it rains heavily, the journey will not be delayed, and the transportation capacity is sufficient - Hey, what's going on over there? What's going on? Yuan Ying is nearly ten years younger than Yuan Chao. She is just in her early twenties. She is full of energy and lively. When she saw a group of people in front of her, she asked in surprise. Yuan Chao raised his eyes and saw flags and crowns like clouds, guarding warriors. It was as dense as a forest, and there were probably hundreds or thousands of people. He had an idea in his mind, but before he could speak, he heard someone next to him say: "This is the emperor's trip to visit the hot spring palace." That person's accent was not like Guanzhong. , but it was like Jiang Huai. Yuan Chao glanced at him and saw that he was strong and had a fierce face. Yuan Chao didn't want to talk to him. But Yuan Ying liked to make friends with heroes, so she bowed to the man: " Yuan Ying from Taizhou, my brother Yuan Chao, I wonder who your surname is? " "A certain Shezhou Fangqing. "The man said lazily after saluting, and looked at the man again. "Is that the emperor's inspection? "Yuan Ying asked again. "Exactly. " "It's really good luck. When we came to Chang'an, we happened to catch up with the emperor on patrol." Yuan Ying shouted: "Brother, let's squeeze in and see the excitement." As a small official, Yuan Chao naturally has a climbing heart. He can see After arriving at Emperor Longyan, even if it was just for bragging, they still had something to say after returning. They found a high place to look at, and after a while, they saw the large group of people approaching, first arriving at what was called "Chunming Gate." At the track station, clear the crowd of onlookers, and then there are more than two thousand horse guards, lined up on both sides. Then, the people from the brigade board the track train. Eighteen track trains are fully loaded with the royal family The ministers, courtiers, nobles, and their maids and servants began to go eastward. They only vaguely saw the figure of a man wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head. As for what he looked like, it was far away. , and there were knights blocking it, so I couldn¡¯t see it at all. I could only see those knights showing off their power, protecting the eighteen track trains, starting slowly and heading east. "Tsk, tsk, this is what a man should do." Yuan Chao suddenly heard this. Someone said this. He was surprised. He must have read some books, so he knew that this sentence had a famous origin. He looked at the person who said this, and saw that it was just now. Fang Qing, who I knew, had also crowded here. Looking at the majesty of Li Longji's ceremonial guard from afar, he couldn't help but yearn for it, and even uttered arrogant words. He was just a country ranger, so he didn't know that he This sentence was once said by a gangster named Liu Bang, who later became the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. "That's right, this is what a man should do. Brother Fang, let's join the army and make meritorious service on the frontier." "Return to the capital to join the imperial army." Yuan Ying didn't have any ink in her stomach. She thought Fang Qing was envious of the majesty of those knights and said immediately. "To surrender to the army?" Haha, not much interest. "Fang Qing shook his head and disagreed: "If you want to be as majestic as them, it's nothing more than money. If you have money, you can be prestige." "If you have money, can you be prestige?" " "If I had money, I could put on this outfit and hire some people to play. "Haha, that's right." After hearing what the two said was unreasonable, Yuan Chao coughed: "Okay, okay, Liulang, we have to go into the city and prepare.""I'm going to do some errands." "It just so happens that I have to go into the city to do some errands and take a look at the city of Chang'an. Fang Qing said: "Brother Yuan, why don't you go together?" " Yuan Chao didn't want to tangle with this person, but Yuan Ying agreed first. He couldn't disgrace his brother, so he could only acquiesce to the matter. They arrived in front of Chunming Gate and were about to go in when they saw another group of honor guards approaching. When the soldiers at the city gate saw this group of honor guards, they immediately yelled at everyone and asked them to wait and get out of the way. "We arrived first, why don't you let us go first?" Fang Qingyi raised his eyebrows, "Where are these country bumpkins from?" Could it be that you don¡¯t recognize the nobleman¡¯s honor guard? The sergeant who looked after the gate heard his accent and laughed: "The imperial court has been kind these days. A bumpkin like this from the countryside can come to Chang'an City, but when you come to Chang'an, you have to understand the rules of Chang'an. There are noble people there." , if you don¡¯t let the noble go first, are you just waiting to be beaten by the noble? " Before Fang Qing could say anything, Yuan Chao stopped him first and shook his head at him. Fang Qing was still dissatisfied, but he still had to give face to his new friend, so he cursed in a low voice and followed the crowd to avoid it. However, the honor guard had just arrived in front of the door, and before they had time to enter, they saw another honor guard approaching. The honor guard immediately stopped and hurriedly avoided it, letting the subsequent honor guard pass by first. "Poof" Fang Qing saw this. Seeing the scene, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said in a strange way: "What a noble person, what a noble person, so you have to avoid it like us." The sergeant who watched the door heard what he said, glared at him, and then lowered his voice and said: "Idiot, stop. If you want to commit suicide, you are coming here now, but it is the honor guard of Yang Shangshu's family. Yang Shangshu will pay homage to the prime minister soon. It doesn't matter if you cause trouble, don't implicate us." "Yang Shangshu? " "A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. Even Yang Shangshu doesn't know that? The imperial concubine¡¯s clan brother, the current Minister of Household Affairs, came with the honor guard of the Yang family, Yang Zhao¡¯s eldest son, Taichang Qing Yang Xuan. He felt uncomfortable being crowded on the train with Li Longji and his entourage, so he brought the honor guard with him He followed and rushed to the Hot Spring Palace alone. He was cautious. The incident of his brother's beating had just happened a few days ago, so he didn't do anything extraordinary in response to the crowd of people around him. He just wanted to leave Chunmingmen. At the door, he saw more than ten people coming back from outside the city. Judging from the situation, they should be the officials sending Li Longji away from Chang'an. Although there was no ceremonial guard, Yang Xuan saw Ye Chang among the ten people, and his expression immediately changed. Then, he waved his hand and said: "Hold the guard of honor, quickly, hold the guard of honor." He shouldn't have shouted this by himself, but if he didn't shout at this time, people behind him might not know. Then he got off the horse, stepped aside, and Ye Chang entered the city. At that time, he bowed respectfully. Ye Chang looked at him, stopped his horse, and nodded to him: "So, Mr. Taichang, you have never accompanied the emperor?" "My nephew is not used to riding on trains. He always gets motion sickness, so we will do something else." "Oh, be careful on the road." Ye Chang said calmly. This Yang Xuan was too respectful in front of him, as if he was the number one dandy in Chang'an City. After listening to his words, Yang Xuan suddenly sweated on his forehead, and he saluted respectfully: "Yes, yes." Ye Chang was too lazy to say more to him, so a few words like this were just a small talk. He led his entourage and entered Chang'an City. After he had gone all the way, Yang Xuan dared to straighten his back and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I have passed this test today, let's go, let's go quickly." He did not hide his feelings for Ye Chang. He was so frightened that everyone around him laughed. After his guard of honor passed by, Fang Qing said in a strange tone: "So these are Yang Shangshu's familyTsk, tsk, they are really majestic, but there is even more majesty" "Bah" That servant has long disliked him. , several people immediately surrounded him, and hit him on the head with a gun barrel, knocking back his strange words. "Country bumpkin, do you know who passed by just now? That was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Liaodong March, the Jiedushi of Jiannan, and the protector of Anxi Province. You know, why didn't the nobles just clean the streets, leaving you like this? A lowly bitch is talking coldly here? Is it because Ye Gong broke the leg of Wang Zhun, the son of the imperial censor in Jingjie, in front of this gate? Who among the nobles in Chang'an is not afraid of being targeted by Ye Gong? While hitting Fang Qing with the barrel of his gun, he cursed: "You don't know whether to live or die. Mr. Ye chopped off more heads on Hulu at the border than you have ever seen. How dare you disrespect him?" Fang Qing pressed his head. , frowning: "Ye Gong so young, what kind of Ye Gong is he?" This guy has never even heard of Ye Chang's name. He is really a country bumpkin, and Yuan Chao somewhat looks down on him. Unlike Fang Qing, Ye Chang's name can be said to be like thunder to Yuan Chao, and he has heard it countless times. The reason is that Yuan Chao came from Taizhou. At this time, Taizhou was also called Linhai County. It faced the sea and had convenient shipping. There were many sea ships. The great thief Wu Lingguang once attacked Taizhou. Yuan Chao had some contact with Wu Lingguang's remnants, and knew that some of Wu Lingguang's men had infiltrated Ye Chang's team to open up Liaodong, but later attempted to launch a military rebellion and were killed.??Chang captured and killed them all. What¡¯s more important is that half of Ye Chang¡¯s wealth comes from the sea, and he knows this very well. "This Mr. Ye is the living God of Wealth. Stop talking nonsense. Let's go. We can pass. We brothers still have official duties to do. Let's take our leave." Yuan Chao bowed his hand to Fang Qing. Fang Qing heard that he was about to say goodbye, but he didn't want to leave. He followed him and said, "Brother Yuan knows the background of Mr. Ye? Why don't you tell me about it? I want to know too. Even the relatives of the imperial concubine are afraid of him." "What kind of person is a man like a tiger?" "We brothers admire Ye Gong the most. Let's not talk about his killing of Hu in the frontier. What is really admirable is the situation he has created in Liaodong and his ability to go to sea to find those things. "Proud to come to the country" Yuan Chao didn't want to pay attention to this Fang Qing, but his younger brother was a talker. He felt that Fang Qing was very interested in him, so he pulled him and said: "We came to Chang'an this time, firstly, to do business, and secondly, also I want to see if I'm lucky enough to meet Mr. Ye's men and ask them about something. " "Oh, what's the matter?" Fang Qing was still confused. "Of course it's how he manages to make money. We in Taizhou are close to the sea and there are many ships. If you can get Ye Gong's guidance, you can make a fortune - just like Wang Qinian in Yangzhou. Oh, you must not know this Wang Qinian "Who said that? I don't know about others, how can I not know about Wang Qinian? I was in Yangzhou and played football in person, how could I not know about Wang Qinian?" Fang Qing didn't know Ye Chang, but he knew Wang Qinian: " But I heard that he is not doing football dramas now, but is digging for some kind of gold mountain Could it be that he really dug the gold mountain for him? " "Of course it is true, that ship left from our Taizhou, and I saw him returning full of gold." Yuan Ying He boasted: "I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is definitely not a lie." "What does this have to do with Mr. Ye?" "You don't know that the football drama was created by Mr. Ye and used for military training?" Yuan Ying said blankly. Fang Qing shook his head with a stupid look on his face: "I don't know." "I don't even know that the chart Wang Qinian was looking for Jinshan was given by Mr. Ye?" "I don't know this is impossible. If I knew there was a Jinshan, Why would you give the sea map to others and just dig it yourself? " "So you are stupid." Yuan Ying smiled and said, "Ye Gong does great things, and he is the living God of Wealth, with the Midas touch of gold. How can I see this? "Two Gold Mountains" Yuan Chao felt a little amused when he heard his younger brother boasting to Fang Qing about some half-true and half-false information he had heard from hearsay. Yuan Ying is young, so she still has many illusions, but Yuan Chao himself knows that it will not be easy to get guidance from Ye Chang. Wang Qinian¡¯s so-called acquisition of Ye Chang¡¯s sea map is most likely false. Most of it was a lie he made up to avoid being coveted by some powerful people, so as to show that his relationship with Ye Chang was extraordinary. However, he did have some contact with Ye Chang, so when Yuan Gang asked him again and again, although he was very embarrassed, he still introduced a person named Xiao Bailang under Ye Chang to Yuan Chao. However, the relationship between the two people was just that. Wang Qinian just said that this person stayed in Chang'an City. If he could introduce him, he might be able to meet Ye Chang. Therefore, if Yuan Chao really wants to realize the purpose of this trip, he must first meet this Xiao Bailang. Thinking of how majestic Ye Chang and his party were just now, and how even the most popular dignitaries in Chang'an City were so arrogant and afraid to breathe when they saw him, Yuan Chao became less and less confident about whether his trip could really achieve his goal.
