The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 12 The son of Duke Ju

Li An and Liu Fangzi had just walked out of Persian Residence when they saw a large number of people running towards Dongshi. Li An looked at Liu Fangzi in surprise and asked, "What's going on?"

Liu Fangzi quickly asked a vendor next to him: "Excuse me, what happened?"

The merchant told Liu Fangzi: "Liu Xichun is here. The Qingji Jewelry Building is just in front. They are all here to see Liu Xichun."

"Liu Xichun!" Liu Fangzi shouted in surprise: "Is it really Liu Xichun?"

The merchant nodded in affirmation.

Liu Fangzi immediately came to Li An's side and said with an excited expression: "Mr. Li and everyone are coming to Dongshi to perform at the Qingji Jewelry Building in front. Let's go and have a look!"

"Liu Xichun?" Li An was slightly startled. To be honest, he had never heard of this name, but looking at Liu Fangzi's excited look, Li An could guess that the other person must be a very popular person.

Li An didn't want to go at first, but seeing Liu Fangzi so excited and showing that he wanted to go, Liu Fangzi would be disappointed if he said he couldn't go. Secondly, Li An didn't want to reveal that he didn't know about Liu Xichun. After all, everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew it, and if he didn't know it, he would look very awkward.

So Li An thought about it and decided to take a look, at least not to let people see that he is not from Datang.

"Then let's go take a look." Li An nodded, and Liu Fangzi also said happily: "Okay, it's right in front, not far!"

Afterwards, Li An followed Liu Fangzi to the front. He didn't know it until he went there. He was shocked when he went there. At this time, the front of the Jewelry Building could already be described as a sea of ​​people. There was a group of people squatting in front and behind them. There was a row of carriages, and there were people behind the carriages. Everyone looked expectant, with excited and enthusiastic expressions on their faces.

Li An did not expect that this Tang Dynasty star chaser was also so persistent, and even brought a bouquet of flowers to support him. Those squatting in the front row had bouquets in their hands.

Li An and Liu Fangzi found a platform, and it was just right for them to stand on it. However, there were still people who wanted to squeeze up to the platform, but Liu Fangzi pushed them directly down. This was a wooden platform, and the two of them stood on it. You have already reached your limit personally. If you still want to come up, Liu Fangzi will of course refuse. You must know that Liu Fangzi has been among the dead. He is very evil. He directly pushed the other party, and no one dared to come over again. .

At this time, more and more people were coming from all directions, and the carriages came in one after another. I want to explain here that the carriage Liu Fangzi was driving was not a carriage, but a cart. Such a cart was to Parked outside, the ones that could enter the East Market were horse-drawn carriages, at least two-horse ones.

Because the Tang Dynasty stipulated that only "scholars" were eligible to ride on the two-horse carriage. Scholars were small nobles in ancient times, retainers of high officials, or very famous people.

There is also a three-horse carriage - the vehicle of ancient officials. Doctors refer to mid-level officials of the court, and civil servants generally refer to officials of fifth rank or above.This carriage is not only powerful, but also a status symbol.

Four-horse carriage - the vehicle of the ancient ministers. The ministers were high-ranking officials in ancient times (such as the minister of Dali Temple), and their number was very small.Carriages of this level are generally rare, and even in cities, they may not be able to run.

Of course, the average minister, except for riding in a horse carriage when necessary, is very low-key at other times. Those people are all old people and would not be so stupid to ride in a horse carriage every day.After a while, a three-horse carriage drove in from outside. When they saw the three-horse carriage, basically the people would consciously avoid it. Then this three-horse carriage also came to listen to Liu Xichun's song. As soon as it came over, the other two-horse carriages The carriages all gave way one after another.

But just when the three-horse carriage wanted to reach the middle position, facing the stage set up by the Jewelry Building, an ordinary two-horse carriage stopped at that position and showed no intention of moving at all.

Inside this ordinary two-horse carriage were His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and His Royal Highness Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty. In order not to show off, they took an ordinary carriage, but although they were ordinary carriages, they They would not take the initiative to give way to the three-horse carriage. It was not that they were unwilling, but that they had no intention of giving way at all.

However, if the other party sees that you don't give in, they will feel a little unhappy, so soon the driver of the three-horse carriage shouted to Li Zhi's carriage: "Give way."

Of course, what the driver of the three-horse carriage did not expect was that soon, the driver of the ordinary carriage replied: "There are many locations. You can find any location at will. Why are you looking for our location? We stopped very early." It’s here.”

It was obvious that Li Zhi's carriage driver wanted to reason with the other party.

But how can the driver of the three-horse carriage reason with the other party? In the heart of the driver of the three-horse carriage, he is of a higher rank than you. If you try to reason with me, who do you think you are?

So the driver of the three-horse carriage immediately said angrily: "Who are you? You dare to occupy the best position here. Get out now. If you don't get out, I will let you know how powerful the Duke of Ju's mansion is."

"The Duke of Ju!"

After the driver of the three-horse carriage announced his name, it immediately aroused the horror of the surrounding people. You must know that Tang Jian, the Duke of Ju, is not an ordinary person. Jie Li Khan was captured alive, and he was granted the Minister of the Minbu (here, to explain, when the Minbu was in Li Shimin, it was not called the Hubu because of Li Shimin's name, because Li Shimin did not taboo these things, but in Li Zhi's hands, he felt that he could not be called the Minbu. Ministry, after all, it was my father's name taboo, so I changed the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Ministry of Households).

Tang Jian can be said to be one of Li Shimin's confidants, and Jian is considered to be in the emperor's heart, otherwise he would not be named a duke. You must know that those who can be classified as dukes are basically Li Shimin's confidants.

Therefore, when the people around heard that he was from the Duke of Ju's family, they immediately sweated for ordinary carriages, because the level gap between the two sides was too big. In addition to being the Duke of Ju, Tang Jian was also from a noble family. The entire Chang'an There are only a handful of people who can compete with Tang Jian. If you offend the Tang family, you will not be able to gain a foothold in Chang'an.

But just when everyone thought that this ordinary carriage would definitely give up its position after hearing that the other party was the Duke of Ju, the voice of a young man in the carriage sounded: "What about the people from the Duke of Ju? This is the Grand Palace. Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty was dominated by law. Even if the Duke of Ju came in person, he must abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. This law of the Tang Dynasty does not stipulate that the people must give way to the powerful.

By the way, I forgot to tell you. His Majesty also said this before.The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. You want to use your power to bully the people, have you ever thought about His Majesty's consent? "

"You have such sharp teeth, but I want to pull out all your teeth!" Suddenly, a young man in brocade clothes walked out of the carriage of the Duke of Ju. This young man was none other than Tang Jian's fifth son and also Tang Jian's son. Jian's favorite son Tang Shanshi.

At this time, Tang Shanshi had been promised a consort and was considered a relative of the emperor, so he had the ability to be arrogant.
