People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 315

Wuzhou City, Xicheng, Qian's family.

In the brightly lit courtyard of the deep house, there are silks and satins, pearls and jades everywhere, which is extremely luxurious.

Qian Zhe walked into the backyard with a thoughtful expression on his face. He didn't know what he thought of, so his steps stopped suddenly.

At this moment, a 24-year-old young man in a white robe rushed out from the depths of the courtyard.

Seeing Qian Zhe, the young man immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Brother, there is another letter from Dongyang, let's quickly find the king of Nanchang to unblock the road. If the road is blocked, there will be no enough food on the mountain!"

Qian Zhe raised his head slowly at this time, and the sternness in his eyes instantly filled the young man's mind.

The young man's face couldn't help changing slightly, and he subconsciously took several steps back before stopping.

At this moment, the young man's expression suddenly became embarrassing, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, he just shouted timidly: "Brother!"

Qian Zhe turned his head slowly, no longer staring at the young man, but his voice came out: "Qilang, remember, what our Qian family wants is gold, and the gold is on the mountain. 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 loss, you have to remember this."

"Here!" Qian Zhuo immediately cupped his hands, and at the same time 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 originally planned to have a banquet tonight, so I asked the King of Nanchang to talk about it, but who would have thought that the Tianyin sect How dare you assassinate the King of Nanchang."

"What?" Qian Zhuo's eyes widened in an instant, horrified, but a trace of inexplicable panic flashed across his eyes.

He had other affairs before, so he didn't receive this earth-shattering news.

"Once the assassination happened, the banquet tonight will naturally not be held again, and my brother will have no chance to speak with the King of Nanchang."

Hearing Qian Zhe's sigh, Qian Zhuo immediately cupped his hands: "Brother, Shangxi, there are several old people in the family..."

Before Qian Zhuo finished speaking, he was 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 Tianyin Sect and the imperial court is becoming more and more fierce. They dare to attack the King of Nanchang today. Dare to attack us tomorrow if you can't stop it, Qilang, you should pay attention when you go out."

"Little brother, remember!" Qian Zhuo's face suddenly became serious.

"En!" Qian Zhe nodded slightly, looked across the entire compound, looked at a certain position in the dark, and said softly: "Although the prince is a prince, he is the son of Emperor Taizong, and now he is a governor, but he is here. The position in the emperor's heart is no better than that of a small county king."

"Isn't it because the King of Yue also has the same respect for the throne..." Qian Zhuo was completely held back halfway through his words.

"Hmph!" Qian Zhe snorted coldly, and said bluntly, "Remember, don't say such things in the future, otherwise if someone accidentally hears it, even if you and my brother have a hundred heads, it's not enough. Chopped."

"Qilang remember it!" Qian Zhuo immediately bowed his hands and admitted his mistake.

Only then did Qian Zhe heave a sigh of relief, and said, "Let the whole family be ordered to shrink and assemble the family's manpower to prepare for emergencies. It is not too far away from the Tianyin Sect's uprising. By now, we should protect ourselves first." .”

"Here!" Qian Zhuo cupped his hands immediately, and then moved to Qian Zhe's side, and said in a low voice, "Then, brother, where is the last batch of goods!"

Qian Zhe turned his head sideways at once, 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 dares to come, Wujiang water will It's time to go up."

"Qilang understands." Qian Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as he cupped his hands, he was about to turn around and leave.

At this time, Qian Zhe suddenly stopped him, looked at him, and said with a serious expression: "Qilang, the king of Nanchang came to Wuzhou for the first time. If you provoke a good quarrel, you have to be careful, don't get caught by him when you do something, otherwise, you will really be killed by the king of Nanchang to make an example, and you will not be able to save you as a brother, after all, he still has the prince's handwritten letter."

"Brother, don't worry, Qilang understands." Qian Zhuo's face was slightly embarrassed.

He is also from an aristocratic family, of course he knows that before the children of the aristocratic family became officials, the family has taught them all kinds of officialdom methods.

Not to mention, beside them, there are countless shrewd aides giving advice at any time.

Although Li Xuan was born in the royal family, the royal family is the biggest family in the world.

Li Wei, when Li Xuan came to Wuzhou City, the first thing to do was undoubtedly Li Wei.

At this time, whoever becomes the target of being established is the most unlucky.

Once someone came forward to intercede at this time, they would immediately become Li Xuan's deadly opponent, and Li Wei's target would immediately spread over.

These aristocratic children are very clear about this kind of thing.

"Let's go." Qian Zhe waved his hand, Qian Zhuo immediately cupped his hand, turned around and left quickly.

Seeing Qian Zhuo completely disappearing from his line of sight, Qian Zhe's face suddenly became gloomy.

Turning his head, Qian Zhe looked in the direction of Yangzhou, his expression became serious involuntarily.

……

In the south of the city, countless courtyards are alternately scattered, and hearty reading sounds come from the courtyards one after another.

Teng Yu, who was wearing a dark green official robe, walked slowly outside a study hall, with a pensive look on his face.

Suddenly, a burst of gong sounded.

Immediately, door after door of the study opened, and a young man in a gray robe walked out.

Seeing Teng Yu standing in the courtyard, the children immediately cupped their hands.

Teng Yu bowed his hand to return the salute, and the children respectfully left without saying a word.

After a while, hundreds of children left from each school, and then returned home.

After that, several professors opened the door of the study hall and came out. When they saw Teng Yu, they cupped their hands at the same time: "Deputy Head."

Teng Yu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and go home, I'm afraid there will be an early curfew tonight."

The assassination of the King of Nanchang happened today. Although the city was not closed immediately, an early curfew is always indispensable.

"Here!" Everyone present immediately looked awe-inspiring, and then bowed and left one after another.

In the end, there was only one young man with a handsome face in a blue robe and a black gauze hat left in the entire courtyard, a 27-year-old young man stayed.

The young man looked at Teng Yu worriedly, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, is there something wrong with the king of Nanchang today?"

"The assassination of the King of Nanchang by the Tianyin Sect is no different from what it did to the governor of the king." Teng Yu chuckled and said, "Those people are still in a hurry. They are worried that the King of Nanchang will join forces with the Wuzhou family to target them, so Arrange in advance to assassinate the King of Nanchang, if you can kill the best, if you can't kill it, you can also stir up conflicts between the King of Nanchang and the Wuzhou family, and then they can reap the benefits."

There are many smart people in this world who can always see things that others can't.

The young man's expression suddenly turned solemn, and he asked worriedly: "Brother, the King of Nanchang probably won't fall for it?"

The young man didn't ask whether Li Xuan was dead or not, because the result was obvious. If Li Xuan was really dead, then his brother would not be like this.

"The king of Nanchang is quite wise, but he just said that he is used to being assassinated, and then he put the pressure on the various families." Teng Yu thought of Li Xuan's cheerful appearance after being assassinated, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. Can't stop admiring.

Not surprised by the big changes, the King of Nanchang is even more outstanding than they expected.

"So, in the past few days, there may be a storm in Wuzhou." 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 gate of the city pretending to be tolerant, just to reassure everyone in Wuzhou. It will be possible to target the various families in Wuzhou, but for the Tianyin Sect... look, the King of Nanchang will immediately launch a fierce counterattack, without the support of the aristocratic family, the Tianyin Sect will be in trouble."

"Then what should I do." The young man moved closer to his elder brother and said in a low voice: "Brother, the Tianyin sect's rebellion is unusual this time, maybe they will directly attack Wuzhou City this time, will my family To start working on the plan..."

Teng Yu directly interrupted the young man, with a trace of worry on his face, he turned his head, looked at the school halls around him, and said in a low voice, "Wu Lang, how many students are there in the school now?"

"One hundred and seven people, including 11 of my family's children, are all outstanding." Teng Wulang immediately cupped his hands and looked at his elder brother with admiration: "Since the second brother took over, the academy at home has recruited Excellent children, with mutual encouragement, the urchins in the family also started to work hard, not to mention that some of these children are quite intelligent, and they will surely be able to become officials in the future."

"Since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have paid special attention to the imperial examination. Although my family has some reputation in Wuzhou, but looking at the whole world, it is only a Han clan, not much better than others, so naturally we need extra help." Teng Yu looked at him. Slightly solemn.

From Emperor Gaozu to Emperor Taizong to Emperor Li Zhi today, the importance of imperial examinations is getting stronger day by day.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

After a short pause, Teng Yu continued, "I want 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..."

"Stay in Wuzhou, my brother will be too dangerous." Teng Qilang couldn't help interrupting his brother.

"Nowadays in Wuzhou, not everything is risky." Teng Yu showed a smile on his face, looked at his younger brother, and said softly: "In today's Wuzhou, there is still one place that is safe, and that is Dongyang. .”

Teng Yu turned his head to look in the direction of Dongyang, then looked at his younger brother, and said in a firm tone: "Qilang, tomorrow, you will immediately take the older children in the family and the students who are willing to leave the school to the next day. I rushed to Dongyang in one step, and if their family members asked, they would say that they went to Dongyang for a study tour."

"Here!" Teng Qilang immediately bowed in response.

Standing up, Teng Qilang looked at his brother and said in a low voice, "Brother, what do you think of the other families' reactions?"

"Who knows, anyway, the king of Nanchang is assassinated this time, and every family in Wuzhou will definitely change."
