Wuzhou City, Xicheng, Qian Family.
The brightly lit courtyard of the deep house is filled with silks, pearls and jade, which is extremely luxurious.
Qian Zhe walked into the backyard with a thoughtful look on his face. He didn't know what he thought of, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
At this moment, a young man in his mid-twenties and wearing a white robe rushed out from the depths of the courtyard.
Seeing Qian Zhe, the young man immediately stepped forward and handed over his hand: "Brother, there is another letter from Dongyang, asking us to quickly find the King of Nanchang to lift the road blockade. If the road is blocked, there will not be enough food in the mountains!"
Qian Zhe slowly raised his head at this time, and the viciousness in his eyes filled the young man's mind for an instant.
The young man's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he subconsciously took several steps back before stopping.
At this time, the young man's face suddenly became embarrassed, but he did not dare to speak loudly. He just shouted timidly: "Brother!"
Qian Zhe slowly turned his head, his eyes no longer fixed on the young man, but his voice came out: "Qi Lang, remember, what our Qian family wants is gold, and the gold is on the mountain, even the people on the mountain Even if they are all dead, the gold will still be there. As long as the gold is still there, our Qian family will have no losses. You have to remember this."
"Here!" Qian Zhuo immediately raised his hand and lowered his head in fear.
Qian Zhe breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the ancient tree in the corner of the courtyard, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I originally planned to talk to the King of Nanchang about the banquet tonight, but who would have thought that the Tianyin Sect would How dare you assassinate the King of Nanchang."
"What?" Qian Zhuo's eyes widened in shock, but there was a trace of inexplicable panic in his eyes.
He had other things to do before, so he didn't receive this earth-shattering news.
"As soon as the assassination happened, tonight's banquet will naturally not be held again, and my brother will no longer have the opportunity to talk to the King of Nanchang."
Hearing Qian Zhe's sigh, Qian Zhuo immediately handed over his hand: "Brother, Shangxi, and several elderly people in the family..."
Before Qian Zhuo finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Qian Zhe's cold eyes.
Turning his head, Qian Zhe began to walk towards the depths of the compound. As he walked, Qian Zhe said coldly: "Nowadays, the struggle between the Tianyin Sect and the imperial court is getting more and more intense. They dare to attack the King of Nanchang today. If you dare to attack us tomorrow if you can't stop it, Shichiro, you should be careful when you go out."
"Brother, remember this!" Qian Zhuo's face suddenly became serious.
"Yeah!" Qian Zhe nodded slightly, looked across the entire courtyard, looked at a certain location in the dark, and said softly: "Although the prince is a prince, the son of Emperor Taizong, and now he is the governor, but he is here The status in the heart of the emperor is not comparable to that of a small county prince."
"Isn't it because the King of Yue also has an interest in the throne..." Qian Zhuo was completely choked back in the middle of his words.
"Hmph!" Qian Zhe snorted coldly and said rudely: "Remember, don't say this kind of thing in the future. Otherwise, if someone accidentally hears it, even if you and I have a hundred heads, it won't be enough." Cut."
"Qi Lang remembers it!" Qian Zhuo immediately admitted his mistake.
Qian Zhe then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I ordered the whole family to shrink and assemble the family's manpower and prepare for contingency. It is not far away from the Tianyin Sect's uprising. Now, we should protect ourselves first." .”
"Here!" Qian Zhuo immediately handed over his hand, and then he came to Qian Zhe's side and said in a low voice: "So, brother, where is the last batch of goods!"
Qian Zhe immediately turned his head, stared at Qian Zhuo, and then sneered: "Goods, what kind of goods, what kind of goods are there? Who dares to come to our Qian's house to ask for goods? If anyone really dares to come, the water of Wujiang River will also It’s time for an increase.”
"Qi Lang understands." Qian Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands, and turned to leave.
At this time, Qian Zhe suddenly stopped him, looked at him, and said seriously: "Qi Lang, the King of Nanchang came to Wuzhou for the first time. Although he was a stranger in the country, he knew from letters from all sides that it was not a good idea. You have to be careful not to get caught by him when you do something, no.
However, if the King of Nanchang is really trying to scare the monkeys, I can't save you. After all, he still has the prince's personal letter in his hand. "
"Brother, don't worry, Qilang understands." Qian Zhuo's face looked slightly embarrassed.
He was also from a noble family, and of course he knew that before the children of a noble family became officials, their family had already taught them all about officialdom.
Not to mention, beside them, there are countless shrewd staff giving guidance at any time.
Although Li Xuan was born into the royal family, the royal family was the largest family in the world.
Establish prestige. The first thing Li Xuan wanted to do when she came to Wuzhou City was undoubtedly to establish prestige.
At this time, whoever becomes the target of being established will be the most unlucky.
Once someone comes forward to plead for mercy at this time, he will immediately become Li Xuan's target, and the target of establishing power will immediately spread to him.
They, the children of aristocratic families, are very aware of such things.
"Let's go." Qian Zhe waved his hand, and Qian Zhuo immediately handed over, turned around and left quickly.
Seeing Qian Zhuo completely disappear from his sight, Qian Zhe's face suddenly darkened.
Turning his head, Qian Zhe looked in the direction of Yangzhou, his expression involuntarily becoming serious.
In the south of the city, there are countless houses scattered alternately, and the sound of hearty reading can be heard from the courtyards.
Teng Yu, who was wearing a dark green official robe, walked slowly outside the study halls with a thoughtful look on his face.
Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs.
Immediately, the study hall doors opened one after another, and young men wearing gray robes walked out of them.
Seeing Teng Yu standing in the courtyard, these children immediately handed him over.
Teng Yu returned the gift with his hand, and the children respectfully left without saying a word.
After a while, hundreds of children left each study hall and returned home.
After that, several professors opened the door of the library and walked out. When they saw Teng Yu, they raised their hands at the same time: "Deputy Colonel."
Teng Yu waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please go home quickly. I'm afraid there will be an early curfew tonight."
The assassination of the King of Nanchang happened today. Although the city was not immediately closed down, an early curfew was always indispensable.
"Here!" Everyone present immediately looked solemn, and then bowed and left one after another.
In the end, there was only one young man left in the entire courtyard who was wearing a blue robe and a black gauze hat. He had a handsome face and was about 27 or 28 years old.
The young man looked at Teng Yu with some worry and asked in a low voice: "Brother, is there something wrong with the King of Nanchang coming today?"
"The Tianyin Sect's assassination of the King of Nanchang is exactly the same as what they did to the Governor of Wang." Teng Yu chuckled and said, "Those people are still anxious. They are worried that the King of Nanchang will join forces with the Wuzhou family to target them, so Make arrangements in advance to assassinate the King of Nanchang. If you can kill the best, you can also provoke conflicts between the King of Nanchang and the Wuzhou family. When the time comes, they can reap the benefits."
There are many smart people in this world who can always see things that others cannot.
The young man's face suddenly became solemn, and he asked worriedly: "Brother, the King of Nanchang will not fall into the trap, right?"
The young man did not ask whether Li Xuan was dead, because the result was obvious. If Li Xuan was really dead, his brother would not be like this.
"The King of Nanchang is quite wise. He just said that he was used to being assassinated, and then he put the pressure on various aristocratic families." Teng Yu remembered that Li Xuan still looked cheerful after being assassinated, and he could bear it in his heart. I couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Despite the great changes, the King of Nanchang was even more outstanding than they expected.
"So, I'm afraid there will be a storm in Wuzhou in the past few days." There was a trace of worry on the young man's face.
Teng Yu nodded and said with emotion: "The King of Nanchang is not the kind of person who does nothing after being assassinated. Today he left at the city gate pretending to be tolerant, just to reassure the families in Wuzhou that he will not do anything." The Association can target various families in Wuzhou, but against the Tianyin Sect... Look, it won't take long before the King of Nanchang will immediately launch a fierce campaign.
Counterattack, without the support of the family, it will be difficult for Tianyin to teach. "
"Then what should I do?" The young man approached his brother and said in a low voice: "Brother, the Tianyin Sect's uprising this time is unusual. Maybe this time they will directly attack Wuzhou City. Will my family We need to start following the plan...".z.br>
Teng Yu directly interrupted the young man's words, with a trace of worry on his face, turned his head, looked around at the library, and whispered: "Wu Lang, how many students are there in the academy now?"
"One hundred and seven, including eleven of my children, are all outstanding." Tenggoro immediately handed over his hands and looked at his elder brother, his face full of admiration: "Since the second brother took over, the academy at home has been open to the outside world. Recruiting outstanding children and encouraging each other, the urchins in the family will also start to study hard, not to mention that there are quite intelligent people among these children who will definitely be able to get into official positions in the future."
"Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have paid special attention to the imperial examination. Although my family has some reputation in Wuzhou, but in the whole world, we are just a Han clan, not much better than others. Naturally, we need extra help." Teng Yu looked at him. He became slightly solemn.
From Emperor Gaozu, to Emperor Taizong, to today's Emperor Li Zhi, the importance of the imperial examination is becoming more and more important day by day.
Anyone with eyesight can see it.
After a moment's pause, Teng Yu then said: "We have to leave, but don't go together. The younger children of my family will go to Hangzhou, and the older ones will stay in Wuzhou..."
"Staying in Wuzhou, wouldn't it be too dangerous for my brother to do this?" Teng Qilang couldn't help but interrupt his brother.
"Not everything in Wuzhou today is risky." Teng Yu showed a smile on his face, looked at his brother, and said softly: "In Wuzhou today, there is still one place that is safe, and that is Dongyang .”
Teng Yu turned his head and looked in the direction of Dongyang, then looked at his brother, and said firmly: "Qilang, tomorrow, you will immediately take the older children in your family and the students in the school who are willing to leave. I rushed to Dongyang in one step, and if their family members asked, they would tell me that they were on a study tour in Dongyang."
"Here!" Teng Qilang immediately bowed and responded.
Standing up, Teng Qilang looked at his brother and whispered: "Brother, what do you think the other families' reactions are?"
"Who knows, anyway, when the King of Nanchang is assassinated this time, every family in Wuzhou will inevitably undergo changes."
