The Tang Dynasty inherited part of the Sui Dynasty's mantle, and the city of Chang'an did not experience much war. In addition, the Tang Dynasty had been in peace for so long, the interior of the house brought by this group of people was extremely luxurious and decorated. Various porcelain and bronze utensils, some bow and knife decorations, etc. all revealed the extraordinaryness of the owner of the house.
The thousand-year-old spirit of the tiles and the carved beams and painted buildings carry Kunlun.
Jin Ge and Iron Horse rolled through the wind and clouds, and the rivers and mountains of that year became poetry.
The wealth and heritage of a large family can be displayed in the living room
Some of the shelves where items are stored still have some empty spaces. If they are full, I don’t know what will happen.
As for why it is true, it is naturally because certain industries have been affected under Li Mingda's new policy. In order to maintain their luxurious life and status, they can only maintain their current life by selling some antique collections without the space for plunder.
In the past, most of the patriarchs of these big families would live in their own family's residence. They are all local emperors, maintaining the running of the family and preventing some emperors from coming up and killing them directly in the imperial capital.
Times have changed, Li Mingda is in power, and new policies have come out in the market. Those members of their family had made a huge mistake when they left the matter in Chang'an City, forcing them to come to Chang'an City to personally take charge of the overall situation.
In their hearts, they do not feel guilty about their mistakes in decision-making, but regret that they did not achieve their goals.
After all, there is no thousand-year dynasty, only a thousand-year family
"Everyone, this is a rare opportunity to get together. Please don't be formal."
The speaker has a white beard and half-length hair. The skin on his face seems a little loose, but the luster is still there. If one is outside, it is also a ruddy and healthy Fujiawu.
This person is none other than the organizer of this meeting, the leader of the Tang Dynasty and Sui Dynasty elders, and the former Sui Dynasty royal family Yang Sui.
The old Li family and the Yang family were relatives, and there were also private marriages. The Li family replaced the Yang family as the force with the least opposition except Yang Guang's descendants.
These people saw that the Yang family was in doom in the Sui Dynasty, and they just followed the old Li family to live their lives.
The Lao Li family had been fighting for many years and were a little tired. They did not continue to lead the attack after seeing the opponent's surrender. The other party gave up most of their armed forces to hand over the government orders and continued to live a wealthy and luxurious life.
Yang Sui's father, Yang You, had known Yang Guang well back then and knew what kind of person Yang Guang was. He also understood the inner meaning of being an emperor and a courtier. After returning to Li Tang, Yang Youyi gradually drew a clear line with those radicals and lived his own life.
After the rule of the second generation of emperors Li Yuan and Li Shimin, plus various purges by Li Mingda, it has still managed to retain most of its strength until now.
"We are no match for you. If we were left in Chang'an City, we would have been deceived."
"Yeah, I still can't come to my senses now."
"The family is getting more and more sad"
“I can’t open the pot anymore”
"..."
Yang Sui looked at those people talking so much that his eyes couldn't help but twitch. The family that a group of old foxes, old fritters, and old bangers could survive to this day is a fuel-efficient lamp.
I couldn't open the pot, because I was afraid there was too much money hidden in the pot, which caused the pot to leak.
Or perhaps, he had committed something and Jin Yiwei had taken the blame.
Before Yang Sui had time to speak, a middle-aged and elderly man's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Everyone, if you all abide by the law, your life will be easier. If you keep thinking about committing crimes, you will naturally be unable to solve the problem."
Everyone is just trying to put on a show and confuse the people around them to get the family to this point. There is no such thing as a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Sorry, there was some delay, so I came a little late."
Yang Sui saw that the visitor was none other than Wang He, the current head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Li Mingda's cheap father-in-law Wang Rong's grandfather.
Since the last time he had a brainwave and wanted to help Wang Rong create a fake prince, he has been honest at home for a long time.
After so long, the people in Chang'an City gradually forgot about this incident, and the Wang family slowly appeared in various prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty.
I don’t know why, some of these old Wang family members disappeared, and some new faces appeared. Perhaps after a period of silence, he received education, and his humble behavior was completely different from the arrogant and domineering big family in the past.
"It turns out it's Mr. Wang from Taiyuan, but he's a little lazy here."
In fact, Yang Sui did not directly approach Lao Wangtou during this meeting, but merely issued a symbolic letter. It was true that they were living under Li Mingda's rule in Chang'an City, and most of them stayed away from Li Mingda.
As someone with some connections to Li Mingda, the Taiyuan Wang family, who had made a mistake and was almost confiscated and exterminated, chose the same treatment as Li Mingda.
It's not that they don't want to contact the Wang family in Taiyuan. The old Wang is stupid and his granddaughter is shrewd. In recent years, his granddaughter has taken over the Wang family's property and made a lot of money following Li Mingda's new policies.
Not only did the Wang family's industry not shrink due to various repressive policies, it also expanded a lot, discarding some undesirable industries, and perfectly transformed into a new family-type small workshop industry that thrived under the new policies.
"I came here uninvited, but I hope the head of the family won't blame him."
Yang Sui: "I don't dare, I don't dare, please take a seat."
Yang Sui stood up and gave way, and Lao Wangtou shook his head: "You are the head of the family, so the position of master is naturally yours. Just give me, Lao Wangtou, a place."
After repeated pushing and shoving, Yang Sui did not give up his position, and Lao Wangtou just found a spot and sat down cross-legged.
Regarding this family meeting, Lao Wangtou did not want to attend, and even said that he did not want anyone from the family to come. After this profound lesson of almost genocide, and after long-term observation of the New Deal and speculation on the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, he understood one thing.
The Tang Dynasty is no longer the feudal and backward dynasty it once was. Under the rule of Emperor Mingzun, it will usher in a new era.
Those who could not keep up with the pace of the Tang Dynasty were destined to be abandoned.
Those who couldn't keep up and were lagging behind had to have their necks compared with the sharp horizontal knives of the Tang Dynasty to see who was stronger. Lao Wangtou now felt that he was no longer the Tou Tie Wa, and that his neck was still much softer than his own neck.
As Lao Wangtou sat there, some people began to murmur in their hearts.
What is this old Wangtou doing all the time?
Haven't the Taiyuan Wang family become the new emperor's dogs?
The aristocratic family must look like an aristocratic family. Lao Wangtou has been away from them for a long time. What kind of trouble is he going to make this time?
Maybe he was sent by the New Emperor to spy on information.
You have to be careful about him
A group of people silently communicated their thoughts with their eyes, while Lao Wangtou sat there with a tea bowl in his hand, sipping tea and watching the group's performance.
As for the purpose of his coming this time, it is not enough to explain to outsiders.
