Chapter 388: Calm in Chang'an City!
Hearing Sakura's words, Lu Chen didn't show too much surprise, just nodded slightly, and said, "I know, you pay more attention, what are the actions of the other people in the Yang family?" ”
Seeing that Lu Chen was so calm, Sakura said with some doubts, "Shizi, aren't you surprised by this news at all?" ”
In this regard, Lu Chen just smiled slightly and didn't say anything. After all, he had expected this kind of thing for a long time, and it was only a matter of time before it happened.
However, what Lu Chen is most concerned about is when those people in the Yang family will interfere in the government. As soon as the people of the Yang family entered the imperial court, they began to interfere in internal affairs. It also means that the civil strife in Datang is about to begin! In Lu Chen's view, the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty did not start with the rebellion of An Lushan's cavalry.
In fact, when Yang Guozhong and others held important positions and manipulated the government, disputes without gunpowder had already begun in Chang'an City. He is not reciting history books now, but living in the Tang Dynasty, he must anticipate everything in advance, otherwise, when the time comes, the dispute will fall, she is not ready, and both him and the Lu Mansion will suffer.
Therefore, what Lu Chen is most concerned about now is not that Yang Yuhuan will become a concubine, but that the rest of the Yang family will be knighted by Tang Xuanzong.
After hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, Sakura tilted her head and thought for a while, and then said with some uncertainty, "I heard from people outside, Yang Yuhuan's clan seems to have visited her in Baofeng Temple a few days ago, and I don't know about the rest." ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded slightly. It seems that the people of the Yang family can't hold it back. After all, once Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, it would not be so easy for the Yang family to see her again.
After Tang Xuanzong accepted Yang Yuhuan as a concubine, he didn't make too much publicity, after all, Yang Yuhuan's identity was too sensitive. And it may be because Yang Yuhuan was the princess of Shou before, on the third day of Yang Yuhuan's entry into the palace, Tang Xuanzong sent King Shou to Dengzhou, far to the east, on the grounds of quelling the rebellion.
During this period, Lu Chen found Song Cai and asked him to send people to observe the movements of An Lushan, the envoys of Fanyang, Pinglu and other prefectures.
Although Song Cai didn't know what Lu Chen's purpose was for paying attention to this person's movements, he still did what Lu Chen said.
After doing this, Lu Chen quietly waited for news from all parties in the Lu Mansion. Of course, Lu Chen is also quite concerned about the movements of the Yang family.
After Tang Xuanzong welcomed Yang Yuhuan into the palace, there was no movement. This is also in Lu Chen's expectations, after all, Yang Yuhuan's identity is already a problem, if the Yang family is promoted in large numbers in a short period of time, I am afraid it will attract the dissatisfaction of other ministers in the DPRK and China.
And in such an environment, Chang'an City was strangely calm for more than half a month.
In the past half a month, Lu Chen has been staying in the Lu Mansion, and occasionally goes to Zhao Long to talk about the current situation in Chang'an City, although Zhao Long does not know about the big events that are about to happen, but he has a lot of information in his hands, and there are many private things that Lu Chen does not know, and he inquires about them clearly. As for the meat ball, he has followed King Shou to Dengzhou, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back in a short time.
However, when the meat ball left, he made it clear that he would definitely return to Chang'an City again. After all, his private house has just had a little scale, and all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, as well as mountains and lakes have just been purchased, so he will not be willing to give up now. Moreover, Tang Xuanzong also made it clear in the holy decree that he only let King Shou go to Dengzhou, and as for King Shou's people, Tang Xuanzong did not force them to leave.
The only thing that made Lu Chen a little puzzled was that he hadn't seen Li Xinran for a long time. According to her character, even if she doesn't come to find Lu Chen, I'm afraid she will cause some turmoil in Chang'an City. However, for such a long time recently, let alone her, even the news about her has not been heard, which makes Lu Chen a little worried, whether this Nizi has suffered any accidents. After all, when Lu Chen met Li Xinran for the first time, she was kidnapped by several mountain bandits.
However, when Lu Chen went to the Hussar General's Mansion to inquire about her, he was told by the old housekeeper in the mansion that they didn't know the whereabouts of the eldest lady, only that she went to a far away place to practice, and they didn't know anything else.
After hearing the news, Lu Chen was also stunned, and then he asked the old housekeeper with some doubts: Hasn't Li Xinran's family always opposed her martial arts? How could she be allowed to go out and practice now.
After hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, the old housekeeper glanced at Lu Chen with a slight reproach, and then told Lu Chen that it was because Lu Chen went outside to practice. After Li Xinran knew about this matter, she left a note in her room that day, saying that she couldn't make a name for herself outside and couldn't go home.
After listening to the old housekeeper's explanation, Lu Chen scratched his head a little embarrassed, as if he really brought this girl to ruin. If she hadn't seen herself go out to practice, Li Xinran wouldn't have been able to do it.
However, it has been a long time for Li Xinran to go out, after all, it has been a month or two since Lu Chen went to Yizhou. But so far, there is still no news about her. According to the old housekeeper, after Li Xinran left, his mother sent more than 500 elite soldiers to look for her near Chang'an City, but there is still no news related to her.
After hearing the old butler's slightly worried answer, Lu Chen was not too surprised. He knows Li Xinran's character, and since he has decided to go out and make a name for himself, I'm afraid that he won't reveal his identity and position until she is satisfied.
Lu Chen didn't know where Na Nizi was hiding now, he could only find Song Cai, and asked him to pay attention to Li Xinran's news when collecting information from all sides, and once he found clues related to her, he would tell Lu Chen as soon as possible.
After all, today's Datang Express has opened nearly 100 branches. There will be branches in almost every large city, and as long as Li Xinran shows a little trace, Datang Express can easily collect information about him and her.
I have to say that in just two years, this Datang Express has shrouded most of Datang's territory. And during this time, several large families tried to get a piece of the pie. After all, everyone understands the huge profits of Datang Express, and it is difficult for anyone not to be tempted by such huge profits.
However, whenever a family came to inquire about cooperation, Song Cai would take out Tang Xuanzong's commendation calligraphy and paintings, so that these people could 'appreciate' it. This commendation was given to him by Tang Xuanzong when Lu Chen recommended the newspaper to Tang Xuanzong.
