After sending Wu Youyi away, Li Tong was relieved, and many things that had been planned for a long time could be done.

Of course, although Wu Youyi left Xijing, he still left behind a number of henchmen and house slaves, named to help the king of Hedong, but he was still not at ease.

However, even Wu Youyi was taken away, and a few domestic slaves naturally couldn't stop it. Li Tong arranged for them to either keep their positions or enter the market to inquire about the market, pretending to follow Wu Youyi's instructions and gradually realize these treasures.

But in fact, Yang Li had already begun to buy the mansions around these mansions, and when Xue Huaiyi's nephew Feng Changsi arrived from Shendu with manpower, he could start to move them.

The young king is happy here, but the noble families in Xijing are still holding on to their hearts.

Although this year is not yet halfway through, it can be said that it is not good for these times in Xijing. I thought that after sending Wu Youyi, the plague god, away, the atmosphere in Xijing would definitely improve greatly, but I didn't expect that the trouble of King Hedong who stayed in Xijing was far greater than that of Wu Youyi.

They sent Wu Youyi away with their front feet, and they rushed to the door of the palace almost non-stop with their back feet to ask for a meeting. One is naturally to inquire about a deeper level of information, and the other is also to show that he has a clear conscience.

However, although these people came in unison, Li Tong did not meet all of them with wide open doors, but only selected some of them.

After all, being assassinated, even if they survived, was not a happy thing for the guests of a big feast, and it was important to make it clear who was a friend and who was an enemy. If I don't even want to see you, then you have to think carefully about what has been done that makes me wonder if you need to do something to remedy it.

Today he met at the house was a young man in his early twenties, named Quan Chuzhang, who was the lord of Lu Guogong.

The surname Quan is a relatively rare surname, and it is quite well known in later generations that there is a Ming Dynasty folk righteous man called Quan Laoshi.

However, in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and even the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Quan family is still more prestigious, its family is from Tianshui, it is one of the wealthy families in Longxi, the Wuhu period was the former Qin Fu clan under the command of the important ministers, and then entered the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although it does not belong to the core members of the Guanlong small circle, but it is also a deep-rooted family, and even there was an emperor in the Kaiyuan period.

For example, the Quan Chuzhang that Li Tong saw today, his uncle Quan Huaien is the Duke of Lu Guogong of this generation, and he is currently serving as the magistrate of Chang'an Wannian County.

Quan Chuzhang, a young man, is tall and handsome, but he has a bit of family style, and today he came to the door to worship with two horses, and after meeting and worshipping, he said with a smile: "A few days ago, Qujiang Yaji, Xiaomin wanted to chase after the king Ya to enjoy the wind and moon and tease, but the king gathered left and right, and he was clumsy and cowardly. I know that the king invited the young apprentices of Xijing to practice polo, and insisted on entering the front, hoping to be taught by the king. ”

Li Tong just smiled when he heard this: "Xijing is less and more heroic, enthusiasm is difficult, I also love to make jokes, make up games, but if you have the same interest, you can come directly." ”

Quan Chuzhang was even more overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said that he would accompany the king to practice polo every day after that.

However, seeing the other party's smile on his face, almost fake, Li Tong really didn't know how to evaluate it, he just felt that the hypocrisy and pretension of these children of the family had become the norm, and it was really unsympathetic.

What is said to be cowardly, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than the previous young king's dark prospects and reluctance to get too close.

It is not a moment for these nobles and nobles to watch people bet, otherwise they will not be able to mix with the illustrious lords.

Since the entry of the young king into Beijing, although there are many noble children from You, they are either families like the Dugu family who are determined to deepen the relationship, or some down-and-out children from their families.

Although the Quan family is not top-notch among the nobles of Guan Longxun, but the patriarch Quan Huai'en is in his early forties and serves as the county magistrate of Jingxian County, and if he works hard in the future, it is very likely that he will enter the dynasty and serve as the official of the six departments and nine temples in the southern province, and even pay homage to the prime minister is not without opportunities. In such a situation, there is naturally no need to burn the cold stove.

But now the situation is different, the young king is directly appointed as the master of ceremonies, and he has become popular again, and the holy family is still there, of course, it is worth walking around diligently.

Li Tong chatted with this Quan Chuzhang in the hall for a few words, after all, the young man is not deep in the city, and after a few words, he has revealed that he wants to follow the path of the young king, hoping to get the official position of Yin Zhi.

In order to represent the Tang Revolution, his grandmother Wu Zetian also fought and pulled the nobles of Guan Longxun, and Li Tong alone saw that there were several large-scale shades, and the number of shade awards was flooded.

However, there are only so many serious official positions, and even Wu Zetian himself wants to appoint his cronies, so he has to add official positions outside the usual rules such as staff and school inspection, so there are really not many positions allocated to these noble children.

Therefore, although many of the sons and daughters of the noble portal have gained shade, they often have nothing to do at home to be elected, and they are unwilling to join the Qinxunyi Mansion to be diligent and guarded, and it is common for them to delay their dismissal.

For example, Li Tong's protégé Shi Sizhen, as the son-in-law of the prince, when the young king went out of the cabinet to open the mansion, he was also summoned to come, and he also shared the momentum of the young king in the Shendu in the old years, so that he could come to Guanzhong to serve as the county lieutenant.

The Quan Chuzhang in front of him is young and vigorous, and he is dignified in appearance and elegant in conversation, and he obviously has a lot of thirst and planning for the future.

Although it is not as exaggerated as Liu Youqiu's Chen Ce Pinglong as he entered the palace in the old year, he mostly involved world affairs in his conversations, and tried to express his opinions, which showed that it was not to accompany the young king to play polo.

Li Tong was never afraid of people asking for him, and after chatting a few words, he said with a smile: "I have been serving for many years, the government members are scattered, and the subordinates are rarely used. ”

When Quan Chuzhang heard this, his expression froze slightly, and then he hurriedly said with a smile: "The king is full of reputation in the two capitals, and he should gather from the gathering with one order, is there also a lack of strength and difficulty in the house?" Although the former is scarce, since the king has re-entered the matter, why not recall it again? After all, it's better to make the old with the new! ”

Li Tong was also stunned when he heard this, this little bastard looks down on his position as an assistant!

"Yao Yuanchong, Wei Anshi, and Xu Yuangu, the former county governor of Wannian County, have already been well chosen, and they are in charge of the country, so it is not good to disturb them with government affairs."

Li Tong has not had the experience of being solicited in person and being snubbed for a long time, so he casually named a few names to support the scene, of course, only Wei Anshi really served as his government member, and the others were only recommended.

Among them, Yao Yuanchong was the highest, and he had already served as the Xia Guanlang of the Ministry of War, and the Langguan of the Southern Province was already the backbone of the officialdom, and he took off in only an instant.

"Wei Anshi actually used it under the Great King's Sect?"

After hearing this, Quan Chuzhang's eyes widened in shock, and he looked incredulous, and after a while, he felt that he was leaking, and he was busy reining in his expression, and nodded again and again: "Thank you for your clumsy talent, and you must be diligent in your humble duties and live up to the king's grace!" ”

Li Tong had already crossed this Quan Chuzhang in his heart, but seeing that he was so excited and eager now, coupled with the fact that his activities in Xijing did rely on the Quan family, it would be very convenient for a Quan family to walk under the door. So he nodded, of course, if there is any opportunity in the future, he will definitely not pay attention to this Quan Chuzhang first.

In fact, from this Quan Chuzhang, we can generally see the reasons for the decline of Guan Longxungui's group, which can be summed up as nothing more than being high-handed, arrogant and xenophobic.

For example, Li Tong listed a few people, whether it was the current position or future achievements, Yao Yuanchong was undoubtedly the highest. Li Tong was able to connect with this famous seed through recommendation, and occasionally he would be happy in his heart when he thought about it.

But what Quan Chuzhang really noticed was that Wei Anshi, a son of the Jingzhao Wei family, had served in the palace. Of course, Wei Anshi was also an important political figure in the late Wu Zhou and Zhongzong periods, but in terms of talent, he was definitely not as good as Yao Yuanchong, the prime minister who assisted in the prosperous era of Kaiyuan.

Yao Yuanchong and Xu Jian are both from the south, and it is difficult to enter the eyes of Quan Chuzhang, the son of Guan Longxun. And the xenophobia of Guan Longxun is by no means an isolated phenomenon.

For example, the Tonghua Fang in the south of Chang'an City, in the Zhenguan and Yonghui years, there were Yin Kaishan, Ouyang Xun, Yan Shigu and other old Jiangzuo clans, so it was contemptuously called Wu'erfang. These people are all famous and famous, but in the eyes of Guan Longxun, you are not the same as us.

Indeed, Guan Longxungui has the glory of several royal industries, and his children also enjoy this favor.

But embodied in this Quan Chuzhang, that is, he has a high eye and a low hand, he wants to worship the young king, but he doesn't want to be restricted by the humble position of the palace, and he may be a little ashamed of it, only when he heard that Wei Anshi, a rising star in Guanlong, had also taken office, he agreed.

Of course, it can't be said that these people have forgotten the glory of their fathers, but I am afraid that everyone has an impulse to recreate the dragon's work in their hearts, and ordinary small things and small works will naturally not be taken into account.

If a country allows such people to control political resources for a long time, it will be strange if it can last for a long time. said that Wu Zetian started Kaiyuan, in terms of employing people, Yao Yuanchong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, etc., who were famous in the early days of Kaiyuan, were almost all promoted by Wu Zetian, and none of them were born in Guanlong.

However, when the accumulation of talents in the Wu Zhou Dynasty was exhausted, in the later period of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, including the Tianbao period, there was obvious fatigue in the promotion and selection of talents. Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others hold positions of power, which makes high-end talents have no room to move forward.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the central authority was completely lost, and until the Huangchao rebellion in Tianjie trampled on the bones of the ministers, Guan Longxun and nobles failed to create glory after all.

For this group, Li Tong secretly holds a negative attitude in his heart, of course, there is still something to rely on at the moment, and he will choose to accept it in the future, but the Guanlongmen valve itself is no longer enough to support a strong and prosperous era, which is also a fact.

After discussing the recruitment of this Quan Chuzhang as a government member, another servant came to report, saying that there was a commoner Feng Yansi in Luli who entered the palace to ask for a meeting, and he had prepared a lot of gifts.
