    "Sell newspapers and sell newspapers. Today's strange news is that the students of Luoyang Imperial College have issued a letter of war to the Anxi Metropolitan Protector." Chen Xiaoer shouted vigorously while looking around, hoping that someone would be attracted by his voice and come over to buy his newspaper.  As he expected, the strange news in today's newspaper was too horrifying, and many people immediately gathered around him: "Newspaper seller, what did you shout just now?" "The headline on the front page, Luoyang Imperial College Students,  Signing a letter of challenge to the Anxi capital." Chen Xiaoer raised the newspaper in his hand, licked his lips, and looked at the young man standing in front of him.  The young man was about twenty years old, very ugly, and had a stutter in his speech. Hearing the news, he couldn't help but shake his head: "You're lying, how is this possible?"  I'll know after reading the newspaper. If Mr. Lang still thinks I'm lying after reading the newspaper, he'll beat me up." "Why should I beat you up?" the man said with a smile.  At this time, many people were attracted and gathered around to buy newspapers.  The young man thought for a while, took out three coins from his pocket, and handed it into Chen Xiaoer's hand: "Give me a copy." Chen Xiaoer handed over the newspaper and said with a smile: "Young Master, you will not regret it after reading it.  There is also a review of today's famous teas in this issue. " "Huh?" The young man was not in a hurry to read the newspaper: "A review of today's famous teas How did you know that I was interested in this?  But it tastes like tea. Although I am not lucky enough to try the thirty-six tea brewed in the thirty-six springs in the world, which is boasted by Tianya tea guest Lu Langjun, I have heard of tea like this on Langjun.  He is obviously a person of elegance and good tea." The man laughed loudly and said, "You have a good life, you will have a bright future." "Thank you, Mr. Lang, for your kind words." That man was Lu Yu, Tianya Tea Guest, as he called himself.  A few years ago, he worked as a boy in the fragrant snow sea of ??Chang'an. Because he studied tea ceremony diligently, he got funding from Ye Chang in the past two years and began to travel around the world in search of good tea and water.  He tasted tea while studying, and came to be known as the "Tea Guest from the End of the World." When he returned to Chang'an a few years ago, he accepted Du Fu's invitation and wrote articles for Min Bao about tea tasting and travel around the world, which is also the so-called famous tea.  Tasting.  Seeing this Chen Xiaoer, Lu Yu thought of himself in the past. If it weren't for Ye Chang's help, how could he be as content as he is now, doing what he likes? Opening the stacked newspapers, he saw the headlines on the front page.  : "Letter of War - a letter from Luoyang arithmetic students to the Anxi Metropolitan Protector Ye Gong." "It's true," Lu Yu said in surprise.  It is indeed a letter of challenge, but the content of this letter of challenge is arithmetic.  He is a student of arithmetic and a scholar, and his articles are not bad, so he first complimented him and praised Ye Chang.  After passing the middle section, his writing suddenly changed, accusing Ye Chang of not knowing people well, being deceived by the sycophant Zhang Xiu and others, mistakenly believing in heresies, and deviating from the correct path of arithmetic.  Students from Luoyang repeatedly wrote letters to remonstrate, but Ye Chang not only refused to change his ways, but instead humiliated these students.  Therefore, these students issued a challenge to Ye Chang based on what they had learned. Each side asked ten questions and competed to solve them. Whoever solved more questions would win. If the number of answers was the same, the one who took the least time would win.  "This is a bit like a market competitionit doesn't matter, it's a Yadou after all." Lu Yu felt happy and said to himself.  He has full confidence in Ye Chang and feels that Ye Chang will never lose to those rotten scholars who are looking for chapters and sentences.  However, his mind was calm and simple, and he never thought that a group of scholars, and also students from the imperial college who were far away from the political center of Chang'an, would dare to get involved in such a fight. Even Lu Yu could see that behind this apparent academic dispute,  What is hidden is the political struggle.  "Now that I have caught up, I should wave the flag and cheer for Mr. Ye. The world only knows Mr. Ye as the God of Wealth, but they don't know that he is also the God of Tea. How can ordinary people distinguish between vulgarity and elegance, turbidity and purity?" Lu Yu was thinking,  Suddenly the crowd around him was in chaos. He looked up and saw more than ten people riding brightly dressed and angry horses passing by in front of him.  It was just after the snowfall. Although the snow had been shoveled, there was always some dirty snow on the roadside. After these people splashed the snow with their horse hooves, people around them got out of the way.  The dozen or so riders didn't take it seriously and rushed over as if there was something urgent.  "Let them meet Ye Zhongcheng," someone yelled: "I was born in Chang'an to be a powerful person, and when I went out, I met Ye Shihu." "Shihu" is another nickname of Ye Chang, which means that he is strong and fierce, like a tiger to evil people.  The group of people also heard the scolding, and some people looked back, but did not stop looking for trouble.  They went all the way to Jinchengfang and went directly into Xingtuzhi's house.  "It's unlucky that I got scolded when I entered the city today." After dismounting, someone said.  "It's not a curse, it's a curse. Cursing us for meeting Ye Zhongcheng." Another person laughed.  "Don't talk nonsense. Where is Mr. Xing? He summoned us. I don't know what's going on." They made a noise and alerted the brothers of the Yuan family, Yuan Chao and Yuan Ying, who lived in another courtyard.When I came out, I saw that these people all had fierce expressions on their faces and looked like desperadoes.  "There is something happening today. The group of rotten scholars in Luoyang declared war on Ye Shiyi. We got the news last night, so we summoned you."  of.  The Yuan brothers were not invited, so they could only stay in the courtyard. They wanted to get closer there, but they were blocked by others.  The two had no choice but to return to their house. Yuan Ying said angrily: "Brother, these guys don't trust us at all." "We don't trust them either. No matter what they ask us to do, we will act according to the situation when the time comes. Now we have to deal with it."  "I need to find a way to get rid of that big eater." "It's a pity that we don't have anyone available By the way, don't you have contact with Fang Qing from Shezhou? Let's see if we can find him."  If we can get in touch with him, this person is also a bold person. If we can get in touch with him, we can help him a lot." "They are not worried about our brother going out. How can we contact him?" "Simple, you go alone and I stay here.  "When they see me here, they won't be suspicious of others." The two brothers discussed secretly, and Xing Tan smiled and said to the new friends: "You can still go out and have fun these days, but don't leave Chang'an again.  Wherever you go, please leave your address. I will invite you to discuss matters again at any time." "Brother Xing, why is this so?" "Do you all know about what was said in the newspaper today about those imperial students in Luoyang trying to challenge Ye Chang?"  "What is this? Who cares about this?" someone asked in surprise.  "You guys, you only know about cockfighting and lackeys all day long, and don't care about serious matters. You still need to read this newspaper."  I was very interested when I heard the news. " Today's "Ming Pao" does not issue once a day, but once every five days. Therefore, the matter of the Luoyang Taisheng's challenge to Ye Chang was spread to Chang'an five days ago, and it happened very quickly.  It was known to Li Longji.  Xing Chu had his own intelligence source and knew that Li Longji was very interested in this competition. It is said that he changed his mind and returned to Chang'an from the Hot Spring Palace in advance.  "Therefore, the saint will come back in three to five days at most. Those imperial students in Luoyang have now set off for Chang'an, and maybe they have arrived at Lishan Mountain by now."  Under the leadership, the students of Luoyang Arithmetic School have arrived at Lishan Mountain.  It's ironic to say that they went to Chang'an to challenge Ye Chang, and they took the Liangdu track train determined by Ye Chang.  After arriving at Lishan, someone passed the news to Li Longji. Li Longji was very interested in them and summoned them specially.  "Ye Qing's calculation skills are among the best among the important ministers in the court. Even Yang Qing may not be able to match them." Looking at the excited imperial students in front of him, Li Longji said with a smile: "Everyone agrees with him."  "Do you have the confidence to fight" Naturally, these imperial students had no chance to speak. Qu Tanxun, who was standing next to him, stepped forward and saluted: "Now that the Holy Emperor is here, there are many sages gathered in the court. Although the ministers are just Wei  Although he is contemptuous of talents, he is not afraid of thieves who will harm the country and the people. Li Longji couldn't help but twitched his face. Yang Zhao next to him sneered. Yang Zhao was indeed prepared to deal with Ye Chang, and he also prepared more covert means, but this Qu Tanxun.  But he is not his person. He is also very surprised that this person, who is an assistant professor of the Imperial College in Luoyang, can provoke such a trouble among the students. Now it seems that it is not an academic dispute at all, but a political dispute.  A traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people Yang Zhao also wanted to scold him like this, but he was a little embarrassed. Since Ye Chang appeared in Chang'an eleven years ago, he has been rapidly instigating changes in the Tang Dynasty, and when he started seven years ago.  After running Liaodong, another word was coined: Liaodong speed. In just six or seven years, Liaodong's appearance changed drastically, from a useless place in the Tang Dynasty to a first-class and prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty.  According to secret reports, the average income of people in Lushun, Liaodong, is about three times that of people in Chang'an, and two and a half times that of people in Luoyang. And the income of people in the countryside of Liaodong is more than five times that of people in the countryside of Guanzhong. Therefore.  , In this short period of time, the Han population in Liaodong increased sharply from the initial 150,000 to 300,000 in the Eighth Year of Tianbao, and to more than 500,000 today, including Shiwei and Goryeo who surrendered to the Han.  , Silla, N¨¹zhi, Khitan, Xi and other ethnic groups, the total population has reached 900,000, and the wealth created by these 900,000 people in a year is nearly one-tenth of the Tang Dynasty with a population of more than 50 million.  First of all, this number is not intuitive, but what is intuitive is that the steel production in Liaodong is ten times that of Datang Steel outside of Liaodong. These steels have become nails, shovels, and iron.  Hoes and iron pots turned into armor, arrowheads, swords, spears, kitchen knives, scissors and became the products from the Tang Dynasty to Japan.Common necessities in the daily life of people in Xinluo, Silla, Annam and other places.  Such a person can be said to have great intentions or secretly harbor rebellion, but it cannot be said that he has harmed the country and the people. At least so far, Ye Chang has not really harmed the country and the people.  Of course, it will be different in the future Thinking of this, the sneer at the corner of Yang Zhao's mouth turned into a smile, and he nodded slightly to Qu Tanxun, who looked towards him, to express his recognition and approval.  "Qu Tanqing is quite confident. However, although Ye Qing did some inappropriate things, they are not harmful to the country and the people. In recent years, the national treasury has been full, the people are happy, and the foreigners are convinced. Ye Qing has contributed a lot." Li Longji said slowly.  Qu Tanqing said suddenly: "Such situations are the great blessing of the emperor, his ministers tried their best, and the soldiers served their orders. Why did Ye Mou, who heard from his ministers, used his fallacies and heresy to steal the people's fat and anointed people in Liaodong, so he became rich in the world This generation's gold and silver  , are all your Majesty¡¯s private possession, and the behavior of this person is like a rat in your Majesty¡¯s inner treasury. Your Majesty¡¯s generosity and kindness are rare in ancient times. It is only because of a lucky victory that he has indulged in evil until now.  To repay kindness is to be greedy and vain. This person is the best at pretentiousness and deception, so he can" "Okay, okay." Seeing that Qu Tanxun wanted to continue scolding, Yang Zhao coughed and waved to stop him: "In front of the saint.  "Don't be so rude." "It's a joke. If this guy really keeps scolding like this, if it reaches Ye Chang's ears, he will definitely think that it is the manpower arranged by him, Yang Zhao."  Now the news of the fire in Ximachang has already reached Yang Zhao. Originally, Yang Zhao was a little worried that Ye Chang would put this debt on his head and start an endless political struggle against him. He was not fully prepared yet.  Well, this kind of political struggle can only hurt both sides and allow Chen Xilie and other fishermen to benefit.  "I am just loyal." Qu Tanxun did not buy his blame: "Mr. Yang is afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him." "I am a little tired. Assistant Qu Tan, please step aside first." Li  Longji said calmly.  At this time, no matter how slow Qu Tanxun was, he realized that something was wrong: the emperor was obviously angry with him. He was ordered by others to know that Ye Chang had lost the holy family, so he jumped out and wanted to raise the banner of falling leaves.  He is cunning, knowing that if he just writes a letter of impeachment, it will definitely not be taken seriously. After all, who in the court will care about a mere assistant coach?  Therefore, he first provoked a dispute with an academic dispute, and was indeed summoned by Li Longji. This made him think that his political speculation had succeeded, and he was determined to pursue the victory.  As a result, it was only then that he realized that even if Ye Chang's Holy Family was not as good as before, it was not something that a little person like him could challenge.  "It's ridiculous that a fly can shake a big tree" This thought flashed through his mind, and looking at the faces of Li Longji's ministers around him, they all seemed to be laughing at him.  Thousands of thoughts were rolling through his mind, all of which had only one result: it was over this time. The last time he speculated, when he was only seventeen years old, he took advantage of the death of the monk and his party to criticize the monk and his party in an attempt to protect his family.  Due to his special status in the Tang Dynasty, he was driven to Luoyang after that failure and became a mere assistant teacher at the Imperial Academy, without any status at all.  If you fail again this time what will be the outcome?  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble, and then he made a desperate move, knelt down on the ground, and howled: "The Chen family has come to the Tang Dynasty since the time of our great ancestors, and has been the ministers of the Tian family for generations. Now it has been more than a hundred years.  The Tang Dynasty is a place of loyalty Although I have little knowledge, I am willing to swear an oath here. If I lead the imperial student to lose to Ye Chang, then I will be deceiving the emperor. If I win, Ye Chang's false learning will  Please ask the saint to repulse him." "Oh?" Li Longji relaxed his brows, and Yang Zhao's eyes lit up.  "In that case, let this guy have a fight with Ye Chang. No matter whether he wins or loses, it will relieve his boredom." This was Li Longji's idea.  "To shake Ye Chang's foundation, we must start with his teachings. This person can be used as a stone to throw stones to ask for directions." This is Yang Zhao's idea.
