Chapter 1689 The family holds the Luoyang Peony Festival to make a name for themselves
Chapter 1689: The aristocratic family organizes the Luoyang Peony Festival just to gain fame and popularity in order to become an official (please subscribe)
Cui Luoyang's face suddenly darkened, and he subconsciously looked towards Mr. Zheng Er.
Mr. Zheng also spread his hands in confusion, indicating that he had no knowledge of this matter.
"What on earth is going on and what do they want to do? Dear brother, please go over there in person and persuade them."
"Brother, shall I go?" Mr. Zheng Er felt bad after hearing Cui Luoyang's instructions.
Letting yourself deal with Cheng Sanlang and His Highness King Wu is not an easy job.
"If you didn't go, do you think it would be useful for them to go?" Cui Luoyang was also helpless. These people present were even more unable to suppress the group of Wu family disciples.
Mr. Zheng Er glanced around and saw that they were either officials of the Luoyang Order or those old scholars. It would be in vain for them to go there.
But if he went alone, how much better would it be than in vain? Mr. Zheng Er, who was very pessimistic in his heart, could only nod his head even though he was very reluctant.
Cui Luoyang rolled his eyes and suddenly reached out to stop Zheng Laoer, lowering his voice and whispering secret instructions into his ear.
Zheng Laoer looked at the scheming Cui Luoyang, his eyes widened in an exaggerated way.
"How is this possible? Brother Shi, you..."
Cui Luoyang gritted his teeth and let out a long sigh.
"In this world, there is no impossible deal, it just depends on the size of the benefit."
"Tell Cheng Sanlang that as long as he can persuade or stop those martial arts disciples, don't ruin this much-anticipated Luoyang peony event."
"Then, I can persuade the shops in Bei City to sell the materials needed for the palace construction to the Han and Tang Dynasty merchant houses at a fair price."
Having said this, Cui Luoyang looked at Mr. Zheng and said, "Brother Xian, you have to think clearly. The Luoyang Peony Festival involves many aristocratic families."
"It is specially organized to make the talents of various families famous. If those martial arts disciples are allowed to ruin the big event."
"Don't talk about whether Cui, the Luoyang Order, can continue to work. Even if you, the Zheng family, will be under great pressure when the time comes, I'm afraid."

"What's more, we have a wealthy family on one side and His Majesty on the other. We can't afford to offend anyone, so we can only allow this Luoyang Peony Festival to be held as usual.
Even if you and I give up some benefits, it is still better than losing everything."
"What's more, the assassination of His Royal Highness King Wu in the suburbs of Luoyang City was handed over to the embroidered clothes envoy and has been pending for a long time."
"You and I also spent nine years and two tigers trying to maintain the situation, and we even had to be careful about being caught by the embroidered clothes master."
Speaking of this, Cui Luoyang couldn't help but sigh in pain. "We really might as well give in to this step, and we can also relax."
"And we are doing it for the Luoyang Peony Festival, so that young talents from many aristocratic families can continue to take this opportunity to become famous and prepare for official careers."
"How can those aristocratic families not understand the importance of the stakes here?"
Cui Luoyang's words made Zheng Laoer have to admit that they were reasonable, even very reasonable.
The most acute conflict between the aristocratic family and the Li Tang royal family is over interests.
What the aristocratic families originally considered was that the imperial examination had begun to promote poor families into official positions and had begun to seize the privileges that originally belonged only to the aristocratic families.
Only the "Clan Chronicle" that will surely be passed down with the Tang Dynasty is the final stubbornness of the great family.
However, after being rejected by His Majesty, several revisions were rejected by the Emperor.
Even Li Shimin really specified and compiled it according to the order of surnames in "Shunliu's Nursery Rhymes of Hundred Family Surnames". Of course, it couldn't be such a spoof.
After all, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also had to take care of the civil and military sentiments of the entire dynasty.
However, those noble families that have been passed down for thousands of years have almost all been left behind.
However, those in front are the Li Tang royal family, followed by the Sun clan, the head of the clan, and the Su clan of the Crown Princess.
And what follows is completely arranged according to the order of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. This makes a group of aristocratic families how to rest.
But what did they do with the unparalleled Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? The reorganization of the "Chronicles of the Clan" has already caused harm to many aristocratic families.
However, we don’t dare to confront openly, but we must engage in confrontation covertly.
But standing on the opposite side of the emperor, in one sentence, if you agree, we will oppose it.
For the Zheng family, they were the ones who had vested interests in moving the capital to Luoyang, and even many Central Plains families were the ones who benefited.
However, the foundation of the aristocratic family was smashed into the mud by His Majesty. This is the reason why the aristocratic family took pains to move the capital and obstructed it openly or covertly.
In fact, he just wanted Li Shimin to make some concessions, and then the wealthy families like them would naturally be happy to see this happen.
As a result, His Majesty did not even give a shit. During this stalemate, the aristocratic family had already begun to obstruct the construction of the Wanguo Garden Palace in Luoyang, overtly or covertly.
But no one thought that Cheng Sanlang, who was responsible for the construction of the palace as a civilian, and His Highness King Wu had just arrived in Luoyang.
#####
His Royal Highness King Wu was assassinated just outside Luoyang City, and was seriously injured and dying.
Haha... If nothing else, all the aristocratic families in the Central Plains were dumbfounded and confused by this bad news.
After all, the aristocratic family knew the psychology of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty very well. It seemed that he had experienced the power seizure in the early years of Zhenguan.
He wanted to bring the country's laws and rules of conduct back on track, so he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, set an example and worked hard to abide by the rules.
It is precisely because of this that a group of aristocratic families dare to carry out various sexual operations within the scope allowed by the rules.
Whether it is supporting the King of Wei or obstructing the palace, it can be regarded as a rule.
However, once something like assassinating the royal family is done, it is tantamount to breaking through the bottom line, or even stepping on the red line.
A group of aristocratic families became frightened, and began to inquire, speculate, and wonder which family was too aggressive.
If you do things without following the rules, you will get people killed. Fortunately, His Majesty's beloved son was only seriously injured and dying and did not die.
Otherwise, no one can be sure whether His Majesty will lose his mind and let the land of the Central Plains, and even the aristocratic families of the Central Plains, bleed into rivers of blood.
After all, they were the ones who obstructed the construction of the palace. Who else could be dealt with if they were not dealt with?
Fortunately, His Majesty King Wu is still alive, and although His Majesty was furious, he at least protected his limited sanity and sent the Embroidered Clothes Envoy to investigate the case strictly.
In addition, Luoyang, which had not had a governor for a long time, once again had a Luoyang governor.
All in all, Cui Luoyang also has his own plans, and Luoyang is already being watched too closely by His Majesty.
And the Governor of Luoyang is about to take office. When he arrives, it is like His Majesty has sent a confidant to ride on the head of his Luoyang governor.
Now everyone understands why the aristocratic family wants to cause trouble, right? This is really not a trick, this is a trick to spread the truth.
