Datang Live Room

Chapter 330 Undercurrent

"Cheng Hualiang, you have to know that this Chang'an is no longer the Chang'an of a few years ago!"

Yin Deheng saw that Cheng Hualiang's legs were weak, which was a conditioned reflex.

But when I think about it carefully, I realize that today is different from the past. I shouldn’t be afraid of Cheng Hualiang, right?

So I suddenly became tough again.

"Oh? It's true that I haven't returned to Chang'an for a long time. Why don't you tell me what's different?"

Cheng Huailiang jumped onto the shore, and then approached Yin Deheng while clenching his fists.

"I...I'm telling you, my aunt gave birth to a son...you...don't come over here. I also heard my father say that your kid...your kid rashly started a war with Fuso and Goryeo this time... …Someone wants to read your book!”

Cheng Huailiang took a step forward, and Yin Deheng took a step back, and then retreated to the edge of the dock without knowing it.

When Cheng Huailiang raised his hand, Yin Deheng thought Cheng Huailiang was going to beat him, so he took another big step back.

This time, it fell directly into the water behind.

"Save people, save people quickly!"

Cheng Huailiang scratched his head with his hand and said innocently: "Everyone saw it, I just scratched my head."

Only then did a large army of Baba's troops come over.

The leader is Cheng Huailiang's father, Cheng Zhijie.

"Why did you arrive so early?" Cheng Zhijie glared at his son, and then directly asked Yan Kai next to him.

"Haha, I was originally expected to arrive tomorrow, but the east wind suddenly picked up the day before yesterday, and the ship's speed was much faster, so I arrived earlier!"

Yan Kai explained with a smile.

This time so much money and goods were shipped, Cheng Zhijie was waiting at this pier to prepare to receive the goods.

It's just that the cargo ship Yan Kai and the others sent first arrived the day after tomorrow, so the dock was not cleared today.

Looking at Yin Deheng who had just been fished out of the river, Cheng Zhijie asked Cheng Hualiang: "Did you beat him again?"

"No, I just scratched my head. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Big Brother and the others?"

Naturally, Yan Kai and others testified for Cheng Huailiang.

When Yin Deheng was fished out of the water, he was like a chicken that had passed through the water. When he saw that scoundrel Cheng Zhijie was here, how could he dare to come up and continue the argument?

Shivering, he was helped into the carriage.

The entire dock was quickly emptied by Cheng Zhijie's people, and the cargo ship carrying money would be arriving in a while.

Others at the pier were initially curious as to who had such great energy that Lu Guogong could lead people to clear the pier.

After asking around, I found out that these were Yan Kai, Cheng Huailiang and Chun Yuzhen, who were currently in the limelight in the Tang Dynasty.

"Then Cheng Huailiang is simply a replica of Lu Guogong!"

"No, I heard he hasn't even reached the age of crown yet. Look at his beard, I almost thought he was thirty!"

"That tall guy is Chun Yuzhen, right? He looks like a really fierce general!"

"What about Yan Kai? Who is Yan Kai, the magistrate of Kuoding County? I heard that he was the one who advocated that we sell the land brought from Gaoli?"

"That young man who looks the most ordinary, neither tall nor short, not fat nor thin, is the one standing in the front!"

"Hey, the person behind him is Mr. Yun? Mr. Yun has not appeared in Chang'an in the past few years. Everyone is guessing where she went? Did she follow him? She is really a flower stuck in cow dung!"

"The man behind Yan Kai is so handsome! It's the one holding the book. Do you know who that is?"

"I don't know, I have never seen this person before, but he is indeed a handsome young master."

Soon, the news spread that Yan Kai and others were coming to Beijing.

After all, he is the most mentioned name in Chang'an now.

Before the New Year, His Majesty made a triumphant expedition in person. During the New Year, it is said that in addition to Jieli Khan, there was another King of Korea performing dances in the palace.

But at this time, news suddenly came from Chang'an that Yan Kai of Kuoding County was authorized to handle Korean affairs when His Majesty left Korea.

He actually divided Goryeo into countless parts, and then sold them all to Silla, Baekje, and Fuso.

This made the people of Chang'an indignant. The land was conquered by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty with their lives and blood. Why should he be allowed to sell it?

Some radical young people have even privately called his behavior traitorous.

When Cheng Zhijie was counting his belongings, he told Yan Kai about this.

Yan Kai smiled slightly: "It seems that some people in the court don't like to see me living too comfortably!"

When he proposed this opinion at that time, Li Shimin said that he was afraid that someone in the court would want to meddle with him.

This is normal. He was born as a commoner and initially relied on the Zheng family to rise to power.

At least that's how it is in the eyes of other aristocratic families.

After taking office, he broke off all contact with the Zheng family and received strong support from His Majesty.

Then he would naturally be classified as the opposite of the aristocratic family, a rising noble on His Majesty's side.

In the first two years after Li Shimin took office, he had been trying to gain support from more aristocratic families.

However, the contradiction between the two sides is actually getting bigger and bigger. After all, there are only so many rights. How could Li Shimin give up the rights he has obtained because of his great talent?

Especially after the great victory over the Turks and Goryeo, Emperor Sui Yang's million-strong army and Goryeo, which could not be conquered in three conquests, were captured by Li Shimin.

His reputation, which was originally in an unfair position, reached its peak immediately.

The aristocratic family could only avoid its edge at this time.

However, avoiding the sharp edge does not mean that they did not take any action. Yan Kai, a small county magistrate, actually betrayed his country. In their opinion, it was a way to die.

They are not fools. If Li Shimin hadn't nodded from behind, he wouldn't have dared to sell the land if he had given Yan Kai, a young magistrate, ten thousand courages!

But everyone knows that this matter cannot be discussed openly.

That's why they released the news in Chang'an in advance this time.

When the public opinion becomes so great that no one in the court can ignore it, His Majesty will not be able to do so even if he wants to keep his appearance.

"So Mr. Yan, your trip to Chang'an this time will not be so easy!"

Cheng Huailiang is now following Yan Kai, and the interests of his old Cheng family are tied to Yan Kai.

Li Shimin didn't call anyone, but he called this shrewd and cunning old ruffian to guard the dock.

Just to use Cheng Zhijie's mouth to tell Yan Kai about the current situation.

"Well, I got it!" Yan Kai nodded, as he had expected these things.

But of course he did it because he was confident.

I just didn't expect that these aristocratic families would actually use a trick to guide public opinion in Chang'an.

When it comes to public opinion wars, Yan Kai is also good at it.

It's better to have a good encounter with them this time.

"By the way, who was that boy who fell into the water just now?" Yan Kai asked casually.

It sounds like the identity is not simple.

"The boy from the Yin family, his father Yin Hongzhi has been very active in Chang'an recently. It's because of Concubine Yin that he gave birth to a son for your majesty."

Concubine Yin gave birth to a son for Lao Li? That is Qi Wang Li You!

The old boy Yin Hongzhi did lively in Chang'an for a while because of Li You, but in the end history will prove that he is nothing more than a clown.
