Dandies in the Tang Dynasty were hierarchical, and there was a chain of contempt for any group.
Everything is determined by power.
No matter from any aspect, these dandies in Ganjingzhuang Academy are at the top of Chang'an City's contempt chain. They are either princes or sons of Dukes, Lords, Shangshu and Generals. It is no exaggeration to say that the families represented by the dandies in the academy are, It can almost shake most of the court.
The leader of this group of dandies riding horses trampling the farmland was named Xu Ziran.
Xu Ziran's surname is Xu, but it has nothing to do with Xu Jingzong.
His father's name was Xu Yushi, who was granted the title of Huangmen Shilang. He was the third rank under the Tongzhongshu family. He was appointed as the Left Chancellor and was ranked as a male in Ping'en County.
If Master Xu Yu is not famous enough in history, then his granddaughter is very famous.
Master Xu's granddaughter Xu was the first wife of the poet Li Bai, and she was actually Meng Haoran's matchmaker.
It is said that the entertainment industry is a circle, but in fact the cultural circle is also a circle. You may not meet love when you turn a corner, but you have a high chance of meeting an acquaintance.
The Left Chancellor, the Baron, is prominent enough, right?
However, Xu Ziran was still not satisfied with these dandies.
The elders of the family all started as princes and went up to princes.
If there is a chain of contempt at the scene, Xu Ziran is not necessarily the lowest, but if he fights his father, there is no advantage.
Any dandy present came out and slapped him in the face, but he could only endure it.
Xu Ziran looked pale and looked at the group of people in front of him in disbelief.
Why do princes, dukes, princes, and children from the general's family all appear in this remote village?
What auspicious day is today?
Xu Ziran, who was sweating profusely, tried his best to smile and saluted Li Sujie and Li Xianxian.
"Two... Your Highnesses, how offended you were just now..."
Li Sujie slowly took a step forward, getting closer to him. At this moment, he was no longer the obedient disciple in front of Li Qinzai, but the fourth prince of the royal family, with a condescending and arrogant aura that ordinary people could not even pretend to be. come out.
"Xu Ziran, was it you who just rode your horses on the farmland and bullied the supervisors?"
Xu Ziran was surprised: "Jian, Jiansheng?"
Li Sujie said coldly: "The one you whipped is a supervisor of the Imperial College."
Xu Ziran broke into cold sweat again.
Which god did he offend today? Why are the people in this poor village so well-connected?
Li Xian said with a cold face: "Xu Ziran, who gave you the courage to ride a horse and trample on the farmland? If you dare to do something that even the emperor dare not do, my Tang Dynasty's royal laws are of no use to you, right?"
Xu Ziran stammered: "No, no, His Majesty the King, I...I didn't mean to. It was unintentional."
"Your father, Master Xu Yu, is the left prime minister. Ask him, does he dare to step on the farmland? Does he dare to whip the prison students?"
Xu Ziran was sweating coldly and said in a trembling voice: "I, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to compensate the farmers, apologize to the supervisor, and ask for your forgiveness..."
Li Sujie sneered: "Compensate? If money and power can make up for all the evil in the world, what else does Wang Fa have to do? Xu Ziran, it is impossible to do anything good today."
Qi Bizhen had a hot temper and said impatiently: "If you're nagging them, just retaliate in kind!"
Pointing at the group of dandies and followers behind Xu Ziran, Qi Bizhen shouted: "You all, get over here and kneel down. If you dare to cross swords and leap horses in front of me, you will pay back when you grow up!"
Seeing that Xu Ziran was like this, all the dandies and followers were cowed, and no one dared to resist. They all came over with pale faces and knelt obediently in the farmland.
Xu Ziran lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, I was wrong and I am willing to accept the punishment."
Li Sujie said calmly: "First of all, you must compensate for the damaged crops. Compensation is not enough. You must go door to door to apologize to the farmers, and then apologize to the supervisor who received your whipping."
Xu Ziran hurriedly responded: "Yes."
Li Xian waved, and an attendant came forward, leading Xu Ziran towards the village.
The damaged crops were compensated at a discount. Xu Ziran didn't dare to show the slightest domineering look anymore. He obediently apologized to the farmers, and then went to Zheng Buming to apologize honestly.
Seeing Xu Ziran's submission, the students of the Imperial College glanced at Li Sujie and other dandies with complicated eyes.
Returning to Li Sujie, Xu Ziran said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I have already compensated and apologized..."
Li Sujie smiled again: "Don't you think that after you pay the money and apologize, the matter will be settled?"
Xu Ziran became more and more frightened: "Your Highness, I...what else can I do to compensate for my fault?"
Li Sujie bent down and whispered: "I'm afraid you don't know that this Zhuangzi is our teacher's Zhuangzi and also the British Duke's Zhuangzi. You trampled on the farmland in the British Duke's Zhuangzi and injured our teacher's students. What do you think? Is this something that can be settled by just paying some money and apologizing?”
After speaking, Li Su smiled elegantly at him.
Xu Ziran couldn't help but feel horrified. Li Sujie's smile was cold and scary, as if it was hiding a sharp knife.
"His Highness's...teacher?" Xu Ziran said with difficulty.
"That's right, Master Weinan County Bo, whose given name is Shangqin Download, is the grandson of the British Duke. You haven't heard of it, right?"
Xu Ziran trembled all over.
Li Qinzai, how could he not have heard of it? Chang'an was once a famous dandy, but in terms of their notoriety in Chang'an City, these dandies were just younger brothers in front of Li Qinzai.
It is said that this notorious dandy later changed his gender and suddenly became capable. Not only did he come up with many novel gadgets, but he also led the army to destroy the Japanese country and was deeply trusted by the emperor.
When Xu Ziran was listening to the discussions of his elders at home, he vaguely remembered that the emperor had high hopes for Li Qinzai and even sent two princes to study under him. Some powerful families in Chang'an City also heard this and sent their children there one after another.
He had heard about this for a long time, but Xu Ziran didn't expect that Li Qinzai's school was actually in this Zhuangzi.
God knows, they are really just out for hunting today, and they have absolutely no intention of colliding with the British master!
Who would have thought that breaking into a shabby village would actually belong to the British government, and there would be so many princes, powerful and noble children hidden inside...
Even if it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, why don't you at least hang a sign at the entrance of the village to remind you.
The signboard says "There is a vicious dog inside", so wouldn't we be well-behaved when we enter the village?
"Your Highness, Rong Chen apologizes to County Uncle Li." Xu Ziran said dejectedly.
Li Sujie smiled and said: "Apologise? Xu Ziran, you are also from a prime minister's family. Do you think today's matter can be settled with a few words of apology? Are you too naive?"
Xu Ziran's face turned gloomy and he said, "Your Highness, I know that I have committed a crime. Please tell me how to make up for it."
Qi Bizhen, who couldn't hold back for a long time, shouted: "Before you apologize to my husband, please pay a price first. If the teacher's Zhuangzi can bump into and trample any cat or dog at will, where will the dignity of our disciples be?"
He turned his head and shouted with angry eyes: "Where is the Qibi family tribe?"
A group of armored soldiers stood up and clasped their fists: "Here we are!"
Qi Bizhen pointed at Xu Ziran and the dozens of followers behind him, and said: "First give him a good beating and bid him die, and then escort him to the front of the gentleman to ask him to be punished."
Xu Ziran was shocked, and before he could beg for mercy, the wolf-like tribes pounced on them, with fists and kicks raining down on them mercilessly like a violent storm.
