Chapter 727
Lu Yuan asked, his heart moved, and he said: "Brother Cui, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, why don't I go to the palace to see His Majesty, and see if I can make His Majesty stop."
The first ancestor of the Lu family was Lu Zhi, a great scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but the Lu family was far behind the Cui Wang family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Later, Lu Yuguan, the youngest son of Lu Zhi, went to Sikong of Cao Wei. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, many people in the Lu family became high-ranking officials, so that the Lu family was able to have the same surname as King Cui.
Even now, the Lu family is enough to rank in the top three among the five surnames and seven favorites, but compared with the other families, the Lu family has shown a tendency to decline over the years.
Some actions of the Cui family made the Lu family aware of something unusual.
In other words, it's not that the other companies didn't notice it, but they just pretended not to know it.
But after discussing with the ancestors of the Lu family, the head of the Lu family felt that it was too risky.
During the hundreds of years from Han to Sui, the aristocratic family has been greatly developed.
It can even influence the will of the imperial court.
But since the Sui Dynasty, the development of the aristocratic family began to stagnate, and even regressed.
This situation was especially evident in the Tang Dynasty. Now, the left and right servants of the court and the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries do not have a person with five surnames and seven Wangs, which can be seen.
The Lu family realized that the times had changed, and the present was different from the past, so they were unwilling to take risks, but chose to move closer to Li Shimin.
This is why Lu Yuxuan contacted Lin Xuan last time, expressing to Lin Xuan that the Lu family intends to support Li Shimin.
The answer Li Shimin gave was to ask the Lu family to send someone of sufficient status to talk to him in person.
After careful consideration, the Lu family was also willing to send someone to talk to Li Shimin, but there were a lot of eyeliners in the palace, so sending people from the Lu family would definitely get the attention of interested people.
If there is no reasonable reason, it will also arouse the suspicion of several other companies.
The Lu family summoned Lu Yuan, asking him to find a suitable opportunity to meet Li Shimin on behalf of the Lu family.
It is not difficult for Lu Yuan to meet Li Shimin, he can see him every morning.
But the hard part is not to arouse suspicion.
Lu Yuan came from the Lu family, so he naturally knew that the five surnames all had eyeliners in the palace.
Among other things, the Lu family would know who Li Shimin met every day if they wanted to know.
Lu Yuan has never found a suitable opportunity, but this time he thinks it is an opportunity.
He entered the palace to meet Li Shimin on behalf of several other families, so naturally he would not arouse the slightest suspicion.
"Brother Lu, are you sure?" Cui Hao asked.
Does he have a good solution now? Now the people in Chang'an are talking about these things, and many people are scolding the members of the family. If it continues to drag on, it will not be good for the family.
To persuade Li Shimin to let go is undoubtedly to bow to Li Shimin, Cui Hao is naturally unwilling to go, and now someone volunteers, of course he is willing.
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this matter, and it will ultimately depend on what conditions His Majesty proposes."
Now that Li Shimin is in the upper hand, it is not that simple to get him to stop. He must agree to some conditions.
Cui Hao looked at the others, seeing that they had no intention of objecting, he cupped his hands and said, "This time there is brother Lao Lu."
"It's not too late. The old man will go back and change his clothes before entering the palace." Lu Yuan said.
……
A teahouse in the West City of Chang’an was full of seats, and everyone was talking about the contents of the newspaper.
Occasionally, a few words of abuse against the family can be heard.
For ordinary people, although they are angry in their hearts, the only way for them to vent their anger is to curse a few words.
Aristocratic families are not popular among ordinary people like them.
In the beginning, the public was really angry, and there were a lot of people who scolded them, but after so long, many of them got tired of scolding.
If things are allowed to develop like this, maybe after a day or two, there will not be many people talking about it.
But Lin Xuan's method is naturally not so simple.
While everyone was chatting and swearing, no one noticed that a man in his 20s with an ordinary appearance walked in.
The man found a seat, ordered a pot of tea, heard those discussions, and occasionally interjected a few words without attracting attention.
But although the man didn't speak much, he was very clever, and it didn't take long for the anger that was about to be extinguished to be aroused again.
"Everyone, Your Majesty has given us a chance to change our destiny to honor our ancestors, but the family wants to force His Majesty to abolish the imperial examination system. If we continue to endure, our children, grandsons, and our descendants will never be able to become officials," the man said.
"What else can we do if we can't bear it?"
"Yes, those aristocratic families are not something we can offend at all."
Those people said angrily.
"Everyone, now those scholars have been kneeling at the gate of the palace. It can be seen that His Majesty has not agreed, but if it takes a long time, maybe it will happen. We should unite and drive away those who cut off the future of our children and grandchildren. Without their If forced, His Majesty will definitely not cancel the imperial examination."
"There are so many of us, everyone throws something at them, who knows who did it, can't we all be arrested?" the man said.
"This brother is right. For my son, I risked it all. Count me in."
"And I."
"Count me in."
"Okay, let's go now."
After speaking, the man got up first and left the teahouse.
The rest of the people also followed behind with righteous indignation, heading towards the imperial city.
This scene happened in various places in Chang'an. If you look from the sky, you can see many squares and cities in Chang'an. People are all going in one direction in groups.
People have the mentality of following the crowd, and many who were not aware of the situation saw this situation and followed behind out of curiosity.
When Baiqi's secret agent heard the news, his face changed drastically.
There are so many people going to the palace, if one is not well controlled, if they attack the palace, it may cause chaos.
Baiqi didn't dare to delay, so he quickly reported it.
Soon, Li Shimin learned the amazing news.
"boom!"
Li Shimin stood up against the case and said angrily, "What exactly does Lin Xuan want to do?"
He originally thought that Lin Xuan's purpose was to arouse public opinion and force those scholars who were kneeling outside the palace to leave.
Who would have thought that Lin Xuan would make such a big commotion.
Chang'an has a population of nearly one million. Although it is impossible for all of them to come to the gate of the palace, as long as there are 10 people, one bad one will cause chaos.
Among other things, so many people will definitely arouse the vigilance of the imperial army. If someone fails to hold the string, the arrow will be shot out, causing a chain reaction, and the gate of the palace may be full of blood.
"Come on, hurry up and find Lin Xuan, and inform Li Junxian, telling him that arrows are not allowed to be strung, and as long as the people don't attack the palace gate, they must not do anything." Li Shimin said with a cold face.
"Yes!"
……
On the hidden tower of the Suzaku Gate, Lin Xuan held a binoculars and watched the torrents converging towards the Suzaku Gate, with a smile on his face.
"I'd like to see if you can sit still for a while." Lin Xuan sneered at those kneeling crowd.
