Chapter Twenty-Five: The Blackmail Family
Lu Hanyang talked about the myth of the flood to Li Er and his wife in the palace, and Lu Hanyang actually had a certain kind of thought in his heart. Fooling Li Er is secondary, and the main reason is to test the mysterious person who threw him here.
After coming to Datang for so long, he didn't have any clues except for the complaint he had heard from the mysterious man at the beginning. What is the purpose of this guy, and what is he going to do to get him to Datang?
All this is completely confused, Lu Hanyang needs this information to make a judgment, otherwise his plan to go home may be difficult to implement.
However, Lu Hanyang's hand is probably useless, because at this time, Lu Hanyang has already finished talking about the myth of the flood and Li Er and his wife, but the mysterious man didn't say a word.
"Immortal Chief, lunch is ready, let's go over and eat!" After talking all morning, the tea was not drunk, and Lu Hanyang was not used to drinking the tea soup of this era, which was like a dark dish boiled. So he drank boiled water and drank two large pots.
In a blink of an eye, it was already past noon, and the three of them had lunch together, although there were still many vegetables in the Tang Dynasty that had not been introduced, but the imperial dining room in the palace was also worthy of being the imperial dining room, only so many kinds of vegetables and meat, but they were also very delicious.
After lunch, Li Er remembered the Yanlailou incident that those ministers in the court played this morning.
"Immortal Chief, Xiao Ke has a question I want to ask: Immortal Chief split Yanlai Tower in the city with a sword last night, and affected several children of the family near Yanlai Tower, why is this?" Li Er asked, he was also curious. Although he wished that the people of the family would die.
"So what? A few clown-like families who jumped off the beam actually dared to calculate this seat behind their backs, and they really thought that this seat had no temper? So directly killed a few unsuccessful little gentlemen, which can be regarded as a little warning to them. If it weren't for the fact that killing the pillars of their family would cause turmoil in the Li Tang Dynasty, this seat would have killed all their people in Chang'an a long time ago! Lu Hanyang said nonchalantly.
He didn't care about the lives of these big families, because he had already figured out the nature of these big families in Chang'an City for so long: these people were all damned people, and even if they were all killed, not many of them would be innocent.
Because for thousands of years, these families have developed the disposition of being empty-eyed, there is no thousand-year-old dynasty, but there are thousand-year-old families, and they think they are superior.
Therefore, almost every family in this family has those who do not treat people as people, not only the family, but all the nobles are like this, and the killing of lowly slaves in the Tang Dynasty is only a fine of two hundred copper.
These people don't take people as people, and each family has several lives in their hands. And most of the people in his family are indifferent to this, because the subordinates will be killed if they are killed, and it is a big deal to lock up these murderers for two days.
This kind of disregard for human life made Lu Hanyang unacceptable. He was taught that all human lives are equal except for himself. Maybe in the future he will think that he is equal to others, but when he comes to Datang, he is an immortal, so he can punish on behalf of heaven.
Killing those few gentlemen is just the beginning, and Lu Hanyang still has a follow-up plan.
"Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this seat has a question: where to build a Taoist temple in Yushan, and a lot of money and grain are needed, I don't know where those families in Chang'an City live? This seat is going to go to the fate. Lu Hanyang asked.
"Immortal Chief, if you want to build a place for cultivation, there are many places for Immortal Chiefs to choose from, why do you have to be in Jade Mountain? There are still many empty places in this Taiji Palace. "Li Er wants to fool Li Yuan into the palace and become the family temple god of their royal family.
"Yushan, it's not simple, the dojo of this seat will only be there. Therefore, please also ask the Tang Emperor to tell those families where they are. I'm going to ask them to make some money and build a place of cultivation in the future! Lu Hanyang said. On the Jade Mountain, his true yuan recovery speed will be accelerated, and there will even be a slight increase in the upper limit, which he will not tell anyone.
"Your Majesty, how about letting the Inner Mansion pay to help the Immortal Chief build this Qing Cultivation Land?" Empress Eldest Sun asked on the side.
"This, no! The Eight Views Palace to be built in this seat is dedicated to the sage master of our people's teaching, so this money must be taught by the disciples to come from fate, and this seat has other intentions, and the queen does not need to be like this. Lu Hanyang rejected Empress Changsun's proposal.
"Okay, Immortal Chief, wait a while, Xiao Ke will help Immortal Elder draw the residence of the family in Chang'an City, and Immortal Chief will go by himself." Li Er finally agreed with Lu Hanyang's approach, and then directly took a pen and paper and began to annotate.
First of all, there is a map of Chang'an City, on which all the one hundred and eight square markets are on it, and Suzaku Street is a key area, because all the officials of the DPRK and China are here.
The closer they are to the palace, the more high-ranking officials and dignitaries are, and in these places, Li Er's beautiful Feibai annotation: here is Qinghe Cui's family, here is Boling Cui's family, here is Lanling Xiao's family, and here is Taiyuan Wang's family......
One place after another is marked with the names of these families, and the entire Suzaku Street is divided by these families and the new nobles, and other officials have no place to stand at all.
And not only that, Li Er's fonts marked in these places also have doorways, first of all, the family is also divided into sizes, after all, the five surnames and Qiwang are the strongest, followed by the four surnames in Guanzhong, and the Jiangnan Shi clan, and the rest of the Guanlong nobles are already considered a good family.
However, these emerging nobles are not recognized by these families who have been passed down for hundreds of years, because they lack heritage, and these families have a history of at least two or three hundred years, and the longest, even more than a thousand years, which has continued since the Spring and Autumn Period.
Therefore, Li Er directly marked the five surnames and seven wangs, and even the Longxi Li family, who was born in his own family, did not let go, but compared to the other six families, his Longxi Li family was about the same size as other second-level families.
This will give Lu Hanyang an illusion that the larger the font he writes, the stronger it will be, and the more it will be able to squeeze out oil and water. thus indirectly helping his family to reduce the strength of several other competitors.
When Lu Hanyang went out with the list, Li Er and Empress Changsun stood in the imperial garden of the palace and looked at the flying sword light, and sighed in their hearts: "Guanyin, do you say that this immortal is good or bad for Datang?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine feels that this immortal doesn't have much disgust with Datang, but seems to be a little friendly, otherwise he wouldn't have told His Majesty about those immortal systems this morning. And the concubine thinks that what the other party really cares about should not be the regime! Empress Eldest Sun said.
