Traffic jams occur every day at the intersection of Zhongcheng Street in Beijing.

Every time there is a traffic jam, it is a competition of official ranks and titles. Those with higher titles will not be given over to those with lower titles, those with higher titles will not be given up to those with lower titles, and those who are close to the emperor will not be shown to those who are alienated from the emperor.

In short, when it comes to a dispute over pride, no matter how well-mannered an official is, he will still fight.

Because this is not only fighting for myself, but also fighting for my colleagues of the same rank.

Zhongcheng Street once again staged a traffic jam drama. Compared with previous road fighting incidents, today's incident is obviously more interesting.

Because today's dispute not only includes the civil and military disputes, but also the dispute between the old and the new.

The protagonists on both sides are Chang Sheng, the younger brother of the former Crown Princess, and Lu Lu, the younger brother of the current Crown Princess.

Whether it's for their own pride or their nephews, these two people will not give in easily.

Chang Baishi, the general of the Chang family, refused to give way and stood firmly in the middle of the road, as if he would hit the opponent with his carriage if he didn't give way.

The Lu family did not show any weakness. Although the servant Lu Xi had a look of panic on her face, she had no intention of moving the carriage.

The two families just occupied the two central lines, south and north, and no one was willing to give in to the other side.

In the end, it was the current founding father Chang Sheng who took a step back.

"Shiraishi, make way for them!"

Chang Baishi's tone changed when he heard this.

"Second Master, we can't give in any more. If we continue to give in, there will be no place for our Chang family in this capital!"

Chang Sheng felt pain in his heart when he heard this, but he still gritted his teeth and said one word.

"let!"

Everyone knew that he was the Queen of Kaiping, and that he had succeeded his eldest brother to the title of Founding Duke. But they didn't know that the Chang family was already a thing of the past and was a marginal existence in the entire aristocratic circle in the capital.

There are many reasons, but the most important one is that King Chang Yuchun of Kaiping died too early...

As the saying goes, when people are there and human feelings are there, when people are not there, human feelings will naturally fade away.

In the past years, things were fine when the prince was alive. Although Mr. Lu was helped upright, the prince still recognized them as relatives.

Now that the prince is gone, the huge prince's palace is controlled by the Lu family. Only God knows how much favor he, the late prince's former brother-in-law, still has.

What's more, my nephew is still young and has to make a living in the prince's mansion.

If because of my anger with the Lu family, my nephew would be made difficult by the Lu family, then the gain would outweigh the loss.

"Shiraishi, let them go first... take a step back and the world will be brighter..."

Hearing this, Chang Baishi clenched the reins tightly, and the veins on his hands bulged, highlighting the resentment and unwillingness in his heart.

Although he had the second master's order, he still didn't want to give in. Because he knew that if he gave in today, the reputation of the Chang family's failure would spread throughout the capital.

Just as the two parties were in a stalemate, another carriage came from the west.

Compared to the shabby Chang family, this carriage was much more noble. Not only were gongs blown to clear the way, but more than a dozen plaques were placed to praise one's achievements. The carriage was majestic and domineering.

Lan Yu was sitting in the car and had already seen the scene ahead through the glass window. When he saw the Chang family's carriage retreating, the contempt on his face immediately turned into boundless anger.

"Someone is coming!"

"Call the second son of the Chang family over here!"

Upon hearing this, an accompanying guard immediately grabbed the horse's belly and galloped towards the Chang family's carriage.

"Is the second master of the Chang family here?"

"The last general, Lan Yong, has been ordered by his adoptive father to invite the second master of the Chang family to come over and have a talk!"

When Chang Sheng heard this, he quickly opened the curtain and looked over. When he saw a bunch of soldiers holding signs, he knew it was his uncle Lan Yu who was a thief.

Originally, Chang Sheng was very happy when he heard that his uncle had returned to Beijing. But when he saw Lan Yu making such a big show, he immediately showed worry on his face.

How long has it been since this happened? Isn’t it because my uncle is still showing off this trick because he is deliberately causing trouble for the emperor?

"Second Master of the Chang Family?"

"ah?"

"I'll go right away!"

After Chang Sheng heard the guard's reminder, he jumped off the carriage and trotted towards Lan Yu's carriage.

"My nephew Chang Sheng has met my uncle!"

Lan Yu kicked the car door open and snorted coldly.

"What a shameful thing, why don't you climb up quickly!"

"Hey...hey?"

Chang Sheng felt depressed in his heart. If it weren't for the people around him, he would have really wanted to ask Lan Yu which one of us was embarrassed.

When Lan Yu saw Chang Sheng boarding his carriage, he shouted outside the carriage.

"Keep on going!"

"Anyone who dares to block the fight for the road will be whipped to death by us!"

"promise!"

Encountering Lan Yu, the God of Death, Lu Lu was completely intimidated and quickly ordered his servants to retreat to make way for this old man.

Lan Yu's carriage swaggered past the carriages of the Lu family and the Chang family. Upon seeing this, Chang Baishi hurriedly followed closely. As he approached the Lu family's carriage, he did not forget to roll his eyes arrogantly.

He was so angry today that he finally overcame the Lu family.

Chang Sheng was sitting opposite Lan Yu. Seeing the driver of the Lan family being so domineering, Chang Sheng advised him with a bitter look on his face.

"Uncle, can't we keep a low profile? You make such a big show every time you go out. Aren't you afraid of being impeached by the imperial emissary?"

"There are so many people who are impeaching me, they are nothing!"

"As long as your uncle is still useful to the court and your Majesty, they won't even think about touching me even if they talk about it!"

Seeing Lan Yu say this, Chang Sheng felt bitter in his heart and felt a headache at the same time.

"Uncle, even if you don't care about your statement, do you even want to ruin your nephew's future?"

"Yunxi?"

Lan Yu's face was suddenly moved when she heard this. After thinking about it for a while, she quickly ordered the guards to calm down.

"Uncle, please take down the sign as well. It's too much for you to do this in the capital."

"All right!"

"Lan Yong, order people to put away all the ceremonial guards, and then find a path back home first."

"promise!"

As soon as the honor guard of the Lanyu motorcade was withdrawn, the number of people in the motorcade was reduced by half. Only a dozen guards and a driver were left.

Seeing that Lan Yu listened to the advice, Chang Sheng was not only happy but also shocked.

My uncle has changed his gender, so he is so obedient?

Lan Yu seemed to see his doubts and said with a wry smile.

"For the sake of my nephew and grandson today, we have given you enough face. If it were normal, if you, a nephew, dared to preach to me like this, I would have slapped you with a slap in the face."

Chang Sheng laughed when he heard this.

"Then I have to thank my nephew some other time for saving me a good beating!"

Lan Yu saw him laughing and joking, and the gloom on her face disappeared.

"I heard that kid Zhu Yunxi made a deal and lost a lot of money. As an uncle, why don't you help me?"

"Uncle, you don't know, but your nephew has stopped losing money a long time ago, and now he owns the most profitable bookstore in the capital!"

"oh?"

"Are you helping?"

Chang Sheng smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"We wanted to help, but your nephew ignored us and returned all our money."

Lan Yu suddenly became interested when she heard this.

"Tell me in detail!"

Chang Sheng told the story of how the military general Xungui sent money in the name of buying books, and Lan Yu was so excited that she clapped her hands.

"Have the guts!"

"As expected of our niece, she has the blood of our generals!"

"I would rather die than take the money given by others. This kind of backbone is much stronger than that group of shameless princes from the old Zhu family!"

"Look at that bastard King of Qin, the majestic prince, he actually started a flesh-and-blood business in the capital!"

"The King of Zhou is not a thing at all. The food cooked in the restaurant can make people die, and death is expensive. Except for us military generals who favor him, who is going to eat it?"
