One fact that has to be admitted is that the circle of powerful people in Chang'an City is really a network intertwined with power and influence.
Everyone is a thread in this network. When all the threads are intertwined, this network forms an airtight chain of interests.
Among them, the children of various powerful families played a very important role.
When dignitaries from other places come to Chang'an City, it is not easy for them to integrate into this circle, and it is more difficult for the dandy boys in this circle to achieve anything. After all, they are a generation that grew up pampered and privileged.
But if this group of people wants to disturb something or cause trouble for someone, they can take action and take control of it.
They are the source of all the chaos in the capital and the biggest destabilizing factor in public security problems in the capital.
This is the group of people who fail to succeed but fail more than they should.
Xue Ne and Gao Qi are the representative figures.
The two of them have not yet reached an official position. After Gao Qi met Li Qinzai, he changed his mind and studied at home, while Xue Ne became a businessman full of copper odor, but their energy was much greater than before.
The biggest misfortune of the Yu family was that they rashly asked Yu Yin to come to Chang'an City to propose marriage before finding out the details of Prince Teng's daughter.
Of course Chang'an City belongs to Li Zhi, but in another circle of Chang'an City, Li Qinzai is definitely qualified to occupy half of the country.
…………
In a restaurant in Chang'an West City, Yu Yin sat alone at a low table by the window and poured himself a drink.
Outside the window and downstairs, there is a busy street, and across the street is Yanshoufang.
In the most populous capital city in the world, this market is crowded with people, each rushing for their own future.
Yu Yin was drinking. The order from Li Zhi today made him a little uneasy at the moment.
Han Sui guessed that the emperor did not want to see the marriage between the Yu family and Prince Teng's palace, but guesses were guesses, and Yu Yin was still thinking of luck at this moment.
What if Han Sui guessed wrong?
Yu Yin was unwilling to give up on this marriage, even if the scandal between the head of Jinxiang County and Li Qinzai spread throughout the city.
The benefits of family marriage are on the one hand, and on the other hand, Yu Yin has seen the portrait of the Lord of Jinxiang County with his own eyes.
The portrait was given to the Yu family by Prince Teng. The woman in the portrait is stunningly beautiful, gentle and graceful, and her facial features are just right for Yu Yin's aesthetic point.
Originally, it was not necessary to come to Chang'an in person to propose marriage to Yu Yin. Strictly speaking, it was not in line with etiquette.
But ever since Yu Yin saw the portrait of the Lord of Jinxiang County, he had trouble sleeping and fell ill with lovesickness.
Love at first sight is not as romantic and pure as love at first sight. When a man sees any stunning woman, no matter what her personality or character is, he will be tempted and lovesick.
To put it bluntly, Yu Yin was interested in the Lord of Jinxiang County.
The stunning beauty who was about to be acquired suddenly had a lot of uncertain factors, but it was still the pressure from the emperor, and Yu Yin was very unwilling to do so.
After drinking one glass after another, Yu Yin's eyes were already a little red, but his expression became more and more lonely.
While he was immersed in drinking, he never noticed that the drinkers in the restaurant were quietly persuaded to leave by the waiter at some point, and only Yu Yin was left upstairs drinking alone.
There were chaotic footsteps on the stairs, and a group of well-dressed young people walked up and saw Yu Yin with a casual glance.
There were about ten young people in this group, led by Gao Qi and Xue Na.
After recognizing Yu Yin, Xue Na walked over first. Da Ma Jin Dao sat in front of Yu Yin, looking at Yu Yin calmly.
Yu Yin was already a little drunk, but he was still very conscious. Seeing this group of people in luxurious clothes and extraordinary temperament, Yu Yin's heart sank. He remembered Han Sui's instructions, so he politely handed over his hands: "I don't know who you are...
"
Xue Ne smiled at him: "My name is Xue Ne, and Xue Rengui, a man from Hedong County, is my father."
Gao Qi next to him also smiled and said: "My name is Gao Qi, and the Duke of Shen, Gao Shilian, is my grandfather."
There were people introducing themselves later.
"My name is Su Qingjie, and the Duke of Xing, Su Dingfang, is my father."
"My name is Cheng Boxian, the grandson of Cheng Zhijie, Duke of Lu State."
"My name is Qu Tu Zhongxiang, grandson of Duke Jiang."
"Liu Qi, the grandson of the Duke of Chongqing."
"…………"
Listening to the group of people introducing themselves one by one, Yu Yin's eyelids jumped and his heart beat faster.
The group of dandies at the top of Chang'an City are all here today. They found me out of nowhere. What do they want to do?
Yu Yin turned on the memory mode and searched desperately in his memory, trying to reflect on whether he had provoked them during his days in Chang'an.
Xue Ne saw that Yu Yin's expression was wrong, so he smiled and said: "Don't think about it, you didn't provoke us. If you did, you wouldn't be so polite now."
Yu Yin cupped his hands and smiled: "My lord... the former prince gave up his life to Yu Su's son, I wonder what you can do for me?"
Xue Na smiled and said: "I know you are Yu Su's son, and I am here for you today."
Yu Yin said more cautiously: "I wonder if Brother Xue has any advice?"
Xue Ne blinked: "How many days have you been in Chang'an?"
Yu Yin thought for a moment and said, "It's been about half a month."
Xue Ne sighed and took a clean wine cup from the low table. After filling it, he tipped the cup towards Yu Yin and said, "I came in a hurry and left in a hurry. It's a pity that I couldn't stay long. I regret that I haven't."
It's a pity to know Jingjing. Brother Yu, come and drink victoriously."
Yu Yin was confused and had a drink with Xue Ne. As soon as the wine entered his stomach, Yu Yin realized what he was doing.
"Well, Brother Xue, what do you mean when you say I left in a hurry? I haven't planned to leave yet."
Xue Ne smiled: "No, you want to leave."
"Today we are here to practice for Brother Yu. All the famous brothers and friends in Chang'an City are here. Brother Yu left Chang'an in great glory. If Brother Yu feels that the scene is not grand enough, I can call some more people.
, to ensure that Brother Yu walks in a dignified and peaceful manner."
Yu Yin was stunned for a long time and said: "Are you... trying to force me to leave Chang'an?"
"'Force' is a bad word. We are here to 'respectfully see' Brother Yu off Chang'an. If you have any unfinished business, please leave it to us. We will help you handle it quickly. Who told Brother Yu to leave in a hurry?"
Woolen cloth."
Yu Yin's face looked a little ugly: "Are you planning to bully others?"
Gao Qi on the side shook his head and said: "Brother Yu, what you said is wrong. From the time we met upstairs to this moment, I have treated you with courtesy and sent you courteous gifts. How can you talk about 'taking advantage of your power'?"
Yu Yin lowered his face and said, "What if I don't leave?"
Xue Ne smiled again: "Of course you don't have to leave. In the bustling city of Chang'an, we can't beat you, let alone kill you. If you don't leave, what can we do to you?"
Gao Qi said with a cold face: "But brother Yu, please consider the consequences. The Yu family's huge family fortune in Heluo was hard-earned. Don't let it be ruined because of a trivial matter."
Yu Yin's body trembled, and he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, there must be a reason for forcing me to leave, right? I ask myself that I have never met you, and I have never had any enmity with you, so why are you so aggressive?"
Xue Ne stood up, sighed, and said: "Brother Yu, many of the hatreds in the world are inexplicable. Those who understand the current affairs are heroes. I advise brother Yu to leave as soon as possible."
"Brother Yu, we will take our leave first. Two hours later, we will see Brother Yu off at the Willow Pavilion outside Anhua Gate in Chang'an."
