Chapter 448: A Swarm of Toads
Liang Ziyi's face made people hate to step forward and slap him a few times.
But many more just sighed and shook their heads.
This forest is so big that there are really all kinds of birds.
In order to ascend to the throne, Liang Ziyi can take any way he can think of, and with the help of some convenience provided to him by Confucianism, he can do something that damages the identity of Confucianism.
Of course, I have to admit that most of the people, most of the Confucian scholars I have seen, are still very sensible.
They are polite and never do things that would tarnish their identity, and even most of them are still living in poverty.
But Liang Ziyi has nothing to do with these people, he only thinks about how many great things he can do, and then gain more power in Confucianism in the future.
"That's it! All right! Good poems are good poems, but they have nothing to do with you, rather than having the energy to read other people's poems again, it is better to quickly think of a poem by yourself, maybe there is a chance to get the appreciation of Qinghe girl. The crowd dispersed, and a gorgeously dressed man of about thirty years of age walked out, with a visibly cynical expression on his face.
Glancing at Li Yuanji gently, although this person's popularity is extraordinary, he is not a salted fish, so there is no need to deliberately please a certain person.
But for Liang Ziyi's guy, this young man doesn't have such good patience: "If you dare to let my son see you at the poetry meeting, you will think about the consequences." ”
The middle-aged man's words made Liang Ziyi's forehead instantly full of cold sweat, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, so he had to nod again and again.
"Let's go!" The middle-aged man continued to shout at everyone, and then quickly left.
"Zheng Gongzi ......"
"Zheng Gongzi ......"
From time to time, someone greeted the middle-aged man, if it was according to the etiquette of the Tang people, at least he should return the salute at this time, even if it was just for a show.
But Zheng Gongzi didn't do this, just nodded lightly, and it was a response.
The arrogance on his body can be smelled from dozens of miles away.
"This is also an invincible guy...... Li Yuanji muttered in a low voice, if nothing else, this Zheng Gongzi must be a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, as the fifth surname Qiwang, although it is not as good as before, he also has the qualifications to despise everyone.
And because of the cooperation of the Zheng family before, the Zheng family still avoided a lot of early in the various terms of the imperial court that were unfavorable to the family.
The decline of influence is only on a certain level, but from another perspective, the influence of the Zheng family has not actually faded much.
In the people, the Zheng family is still a huge family, and it is still a behemoth that many people can only look up to.
But in the eyes of the imperial court, the Zheng family has completely transformed from a political family to an economic family, and this is acceptable to the imperial court, so even if they are rampant, as long as they do not touch criminal law and principled issues, Li Yuanji is too lazy to care about these people.
"Brother Tai said cautiously......" Zhai Liang was frightened and hurriedly reached out to cover Li Yuanji's mouth, for fear that he would get into trouble because of this, but before his hand was stretched out, he felt that it was not very suitable, so he could only take it back in embarrassment.
Zhai Liang cautiously swept around, but fortunately, the attention of the others was not on them.
And because of Zheng Gongzi's appearance, Liang Ziyi didn't dare to continue to dwell on this issue, so he could only glare at Zhai Liang viciously, and then disappeared into the crowd.
Pulled Li Yuanji, looked for a place with few people again, and was careful that his liver was plopping and never stopped.
"Brother Tai, do you know that you almost caused a catastrophe just now?"
"What? Isn't Zheng Gongzi the son of the Zheng family in Xingyang? Could it be that ...... Li Yuanji didn't care a little, he originally wanted to say that the Zheng family was so strong that he didn't even let people say it? But he felt that it was not appropriate to talk to Zhai Liang about this, so he didn't continue.
"Zheng Gongzi is indeed a descendant of the Zheng family, and he is also a concubine, because the focus of the Zheng family in the early years was not at all on their concubines, so when they became adults, they let them follow the family to do business as early as possible, and then when it was almost over, they would share some of their family property and go out independently.
And this Zheng Gongzi is the same, this restaurant is the family property that Zheng Gongzi was assigned to at the beginning, but this restaurant was divided by five Zheng family children at that time, although it was dilapidated, but the business was not bad. And now, this restaurant is already Zheng Gongzi's alone.
In addition, there is also a restaurant in Taipingfang, and even heard that there are in Chang'an, Zhenbei and Luozhou, it is said that the number of Zheng Gongzi's restaurants over the years is almost more than 20, the scale is unimaginable.
After the transformation of the Zheng family, these of them, who were thrown out to fend for themselves, seized the opportunity, and at that time, Zheng Gongzi already had five or six restaurants, which also attracted the attention of the Zheng family, so they took it back to the Zheng family.
No matter how you go back to the Zheng family, you can't get rid of the identity of the concubine, but you can use the power of the Zheng family to do some other things.
Brother Tai, do you know which sons of these families are behind the scenes? Zhai Liang talked about Zheng Gongzi's affairs in detail, and there was no lack of admiration in his words.
A concubine can get to this point in his thirties under the premise of only one-fifth of a restaurant, even among all the concubines, it is definitely the best.
Li Yuanji shook his head, the poetry club also knew about it just now, how could he know which sons were behind it?
"This Zheng Gongzi of the Zheng family will not say more, there is also a Duan Gongzi of Duan Sanye's Duan family, and Duan Gongzi, who has a blood relationship with the emperor of the current dynasty, but this blood relationship is a little far away, and the two may not have contact, but the strength of these three alone is not much to say, the most important one is Dugu Gongzi. This Dugu Gongzi is the real person in the town, and it is said that Dugu Gongzi is the same generation as today's saints. Zhai Liang said with envy on his face.
If he could have the background of these people, how could he be like this now?
Born in a poor family, even if you read well, it is difficult to go up to the officialdom, after all, there are so many people who are also from a poor family, and there are many people with backgrounds, although it seems that everyone's starting line is the same, but is it really the same in fact?
"You're talking about being alone?" Li Yuanji didn't expect that there was a cousin of his own behind this poetry meeting.
Although this relationship is already a little distant, and many people are gradually estranged.
Of course, the main reason is that the older generation has passed away.
Speaking of the Dugu family, it was also a well-known family a few years ago, and it was an absolute bull breaking task.
Her eldest aunt in this era is Empress Mingjing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the seventh aunt is the Empress of Literature of the Sui Dynasty, that is, the empress of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, and the biological mother of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.
And his grandmother is the fourth, and after Li Yuan became the emperor, he posthumously named Empress Yuanzhen.
One door and three queens are much more powerful than those who are three kingdoms and the like.
This Dugu Ao is the youngest grandson of the seven sons Dugu Quan, and he is now just in his twenties, three years younger than himself.
Maybe it's because of the touching scene, after the gradual passing away of the older generation, Li Yuan is also more fond of Dugu Ao.
When there is nothing to do on weekdays, Dugu Ao will also go into the palace to accompany Li Yuan, of course, the mind of this goods is not here, but more about traveling far away, and then contacting Li Yuan through letters.
Li Yuan is quite familiar with this guy, and he feels pretty good about him.
is very knowledgeable about current affairs, this is Li Yuanji's evaluation of Dugu Ao.
"I don't know! Anyway, I heard that he often went into the palace to talk to the emperor. Zhai Liang shook his head, how could he know so much about specific things?
"Well, I finally understand why Zheng Gongzi is so disdainful of this person here!" Li Yuanji nodded.
Indeed, with Dugu Ao's thigh, even if Zheng Gongzi is just a concubine, his status in the Zheng family will never be too small, and he is also qualified to despise these people.
To put it bluntly, those who really have energy are all playing on it, even if they can't play in one circle with Zheng Gongzi, they are also playing in other circles, or in a circle one level lower than them.
Even if they were to come, these people would consult with them in advance, and then come directly in groups.
Like this, those who paid the ticket money came over, in a bad word, these are all dirt buns, to send money and imagined.
Toad wants to eat swan meat? Just think about it.
If Qinghe is really so easy to deceive, how can he appear here?
What is true or not, if she wants to find a home, or is willing to be a side room, is it not good to be a person with that status? No matter how bad it is, you have to choose someone like Zheng Gongzi, right?
Although the girl of the Red Chamber is not easy to do in this era, even if she leaves the Red Mansion, her fate will be extremely bleak.
And the fate of most of these people is to take some of the money they earned when they were young, leave here, buy a small yard elsewhere, and then adopt a child, or give birth to one of themselves, and live incognito for the rest of their lives.
If there is a suitable person, people don't care, but it is not impossible to get married.
But like Qinghe, who is not very old, has a great reputation, and has not yet officially left the cabinet, some noble children are still happy to take her home as a side room.
Of course, Li Yuanji also seems to have figured it out a little, and the issue of Qinghe's redemption does not seem to be as simple as it is rumored on the surface.
As for the conjectures of these people present, it can only be said that it is really a lazy toad who wants to eat swan meat, and the bamboo basket is empty.
"What is the title of the poem?" Li Yuanji asked directly, for these people, it is a lazy toad who wants to eat swan meat, but for himself, there is no such problem.
My Fair Lady, a gentleman, what kind of woman can't get her status now? Li Yuanji wanted to see if this Qinghe was really as versatile as rumored, so it was time to come up with a poem to shake the field.
"There are no questions, but anything that you think is good can be counted."
