It has happened in the past, ranging from fighting and injuring people in the street to killing people all over the house.
But it is nonsense to say that the nobles acted unscrupulously and made people panic and became a major disaster in Chang'an.
Generally speaking, the aristocratic group in Chang'an is relatively restrained, much stronger than some local ethnic groups, because the place where the aristocrats gather is also the place where the emperor is the first to be good, and there are many rules that restrict them.
Whether it is for the sake of family reputation or fear of other nobles, everyone generally restrains their family members and will not let others go out to cause unnecessary trouble.
The most chaotic time in Chang'an in recent years was when Li Yuan led his army south. At that time, nobles were often assassinated in the streets. To put it bluntly, the lives of the nobles were in danger, and the common people would only be worse off.
At that time, the knight-errants in Chang'an City were very active. It was common to kill people, set fires, and take advantage of the fires. In addition, refugees fleeing from all over the city entered the city, which made the chaos even more chaotic.
Later, when Li Yuan entered Chang'an, public security was restored. When the battle between King Qin Li Shimin and Prince Li Jiancheng entered a fierce stage, more and more lawless crimes were committed by the nobles.
It was not until King Li Yuanji of Qi led his men to bravely invade Tiance Mansion, and Dugu Anqing, the minister of the Ministry of War, was assassinated that it reached a climax (harmony).
When they arrived in Chang'an, they changed their masters again, and the city of Chang'an regained its stability. Because Li Yuan and his son died, the nobles began to serve the new masters with great fear. There were no longer so many political struggles, and the security in the city quickly improved.
At the beginning of the year, Chang'an ended military control, and the garrison guards and Chang'an magistrates jointly took charge of Chang'an's public security. This generally proved that Chang'an's chaotic period was completely over.
After Changsun Wuji took office, he never encountered as many bad things as when King Qi Li Yuanji was in office.
Li Po brought fewer and fewer people with him. It was also based on this judgment that Li Po himself became more and more courageous, and his ministers became more and more at ease, regardless of the fact that there were people spying on him.
But without the support, Li Po finally saw the face of a noble bullying a weakling near Chang'an Academy. He wanted to forcefully buy and sell something when he wanted to buy something. It was really shameful.
Although Li Po was a little unhappy, he didn't want to meddle in this nosy matter. He just thought that he had to give Changsun Wuji some extra leverage. He only occasionally left the palace to encounter this matter, so there might be many bullies in his daily life.
When good things happen, it seems that more efforts need to be made to make the nobles restrain themselves.
The Qianniu Preparations also became nervous. There were only a few of them here. If there was any trouble and disturbed the Supreme Being and the Imperial Concubine, it would be a big deal if everyone was eating. The family might also be implicated.
Fortunately, the emperor rode forward, and several people quickly followed, feeling relieved.
But the development over there has already reached the next stage, from shouting and scolding to pushing and tearing, to fists and kicks. In just a blink of an eye, several woodcutter were knocked to the ground, and several strong slaves surrounded them.
Punches and kicks.
The bystanders were talking, they were all young, and bullying a few woodcutters was not a big deal to them, but being near Chang'an Academy, they still had to be a little wary.
The two leaders and the people next to them murmured a few words, and someone immediately stepped forward to stop them.
But Li Po is already annoyed. His good mood has been ruined by these people. He hurts people in front of the emperor. It's really your fault. I don't know whose family he is. He really doesn't know whether to live or die.
Ashnarong only really had eyes for her husband. When she saw him, she became angry and immediately drew out the knife, "Husband, wait for me, I will kill them right away."
Li Po grabbed her arm and avoided a murder, and ordered, "Go away two people and let them go to the Chang'an Prefecture on their own and tell Changsun Wuji that they will be punished severely."
"If anyone disobeys me, I'll kill him." Hong Yanzhu added. He and his husband were talking nicely, but these people came to disturb him. How could a few of them die?
This is the true nobleman who regards human life as nothing.

Ma Zhou, a native of Qinghe, Hebei Province, was a lonely boy and was diligent in his studies. He was an official in the countryside, but was often bullied by his colleagues. He resigned out of anger, so he traveled to Chang'an to study.
When he arrived in Chang'an, Ma Zhou had a very hard life. He lived in a temple and made a living by writing prayers for pilgrims and interpreting fortune-tellings. Later, he participated in several cultural gatherings, met two fellow villagers, and was recommended to General Zuo Yuwei.
Chang He's house.
Let's say he is entering the scene. He is not qualified yet and can only be regarded as a retainer. He is the kind of character who accompanies the master's family to have fun, occasionally comes up with ideas, and then eats and drinks for free.
In May of this year, Zuoyuwei General Chang He went to Tongguan with Zuoyuwei General Wang Zhibian, which had no impact on Ma Zhou's life.
In the winter, the host's family became less social, and Ma Zhou usually studied behind closed doors. He felt that the new emperor would soon open the subject again to obtain a scholar, so he studied more diligently, planning to take the exam for a meritorious degree.
The weather is nice today. Chang He's youngest son has not yet entered the official position and hangs out with his friends all day long. Today a friend came to visit and said that Chang'an Academy is becoming more and more famous. I heard that there will be a cultural gathering today, so why not go and take a look?
lively.
So the two of them traveled together. Ma Zhou was a serious scholar. Hearing about this, he also came with him. He mainly wanted to see what Chang'an Academy was like and how talented the people there were.
Approaching the academy, Tsunegoro saw a few woodcutters carrying firewood with some wild animals hanging on their backs. He suddenly had the idea of going to the academy to have an open-air barbecue, which would surely make him a bit of a limelight.
His friend was also worried that the world would not be in chaos, so he strongly agreed, so the scene just happened.
Ma Zhou gave a few words of advice, especially the people who had just passed by. They didn’t seem to like what they were doing. Ma Zhou was straightforward and unflattering. Fortunately, Chang Wulang still listened. Near Chang’an Academy
, there are many high-ranking officials and noble people, and it is extremely difficult to deal with trouble.
Let's talk about a few woodcutters, so that people won't be angry, so these people are ready to get things done quickly...
It's a pity that they can't leave anymore. The two of them came on horseback. When they got close, they got off their horses and asked, "Who are you? Are you allowed to be arrogant here?"
The momentum was so strong that Tsunegoro hesitated for a moment. His slave had just finished beating someone, and he was stopped before he could even enjoy it. It felt like he still had something to say.
At this time, when someone came to meddle in our own business, someone came over and shouted dissatisfied, "Who are you? How dare you come to meddle in our own business? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
Well, they often hang out with Tsunegoro in various places, and conflicts with people usually follow this rhythm. Most of the scenes that follow are about self-reporting one's family. If the family background is similar, the number of people and fists will be used to speak. If the family background is lower than others,
, just shrink your head and leave.
But this time it was different. Qian Niu Bei Shen was an extremely terrifying existence in Chang'an City, because they were the emperor's minions, and their families could withstand scrutiny, and there were many big nobles among them.
No one wants to conflict with them, even a general like Dou Cong, let alone others, is not willing to be approached by people from Qianniu Beishen Mansion for no reason.
They were even more frightened after receiving the order. They knew that if a few people died today, the imperial concubine would not be satisfied. Moreover, the imperial concubine Ashina controlled the military power of Qian Niu Preparation Mansion and was their immediate superior. If the imperial concubine was not satisfied, then they
The good days in Senniu Bishenfu have come to an end.
So when those people came up to them yelling and wanted to argue with them, the two of them hardly hesitated, drew their swords and cut, and screams suddenly started, and they killed three people in an instant.
Afterwards, the two men pointed at the frightened people with bloody knives, and said with a ferocious smile: "You are not allowed to leave. My master has said that you all have to go to the Chang'an magistrate's office. Those who resist will be killed, and those who escape will have their homes confiscated and their families destroyed."
, weigh it yourself."
Tsunegoro and his friends were very angry. They were all born as generals. Although they were a bit dissolute, their courage was still there. "Who are you? You dare to kill people in broad daylight. I think I have to go to Chang'an Prefecture."
Is it you who suffered?"
One of them laughed and sheathed his sword, "I am Yuan Qi, and my brother Yuan Wu is currently the prefect of Tianshui County. I won't ask about your family background to avoid enmity. We are acting under orders. We can't do anything without killing a few.
Account.
I advise you to follow us quickly, otherwise my master will come back and your heads will be in danger..."
Another one laughed and said: "I didn't realize it. Qi Lang is kind-hearted. I have killed some people since I conquered Xue Ju, but I haven't seen any blood for a long time."
"Who is your master? My father is..."
Chang Wulang wanted to announce his family name, but Ma Zhou quickly grabbed him and whispered with a pale face: "Wu Lang, don't say anything anymore. We'd better go to Chang'an Prefecture with them, so we just beat a few woodcutter."
Son, it’s not a big deal.
They dare to kill people in public for such a trivial matter, and they are so confident. The identity of their master is extraordinary... The general is away at war, so we don't dare to cause trouble for him."
Before Tsugoro could do anything, his friend was already nodding his head. There were many noble people in Chang'an City, but there were only a few who dared to kill people like this.
Moreover, the status of a servant is almost the same as that of their fathers. The master must be a high-ranking noble. Reporting one's family background will only bring humiliation to oneself.
Then a strange scene appeared. Two thousand bulls escorted a group of more than ten people and a few woodcutters, collected three corpses and returned to the city. It can be seen that even if the nobles in Chang'an City are more arrogant, most of them know how powerful they are.
, it is not easy to slap them in the face happily.
Ma Zhou was mixed in with the team and looked back. He thought about who in Chang'an City would dare to kill someone for a trivial matter, but could still calmly take them to the Chang'an Magistrate's Office for trial as if nothing had happened?
They are nothing more than relatives of the emperor. None of the powerful people in Chang'an City have such majesty...

Li Po felt a little disappointed as he continued to move forward, because it reminded him of the whipping he received in Mayi City...
