Chapter 523: Dragon Rises and Anlu (4)


The official news of Emperor Zhengde's grand visit has not yet reached the Huguang governor's office.

The entire Anlu gentry class and the government have grasped the situation in advance through their own news channels.

As a result, the new king was chosen to be the crown prince of Prince Xing, and the deceased Prince Xing was given the posthumous title of Xian.

These things also spread in Anlu at the same time.

In fact, during the Chinese New Year, Anlu has already made some moves.

Yang Chengzu also felt the impact of this incident when he attended several New Year gatherings hosted by gentry.

As a talented man in Anlu and a great contributor to the defense of Anlu, these social activities are inevitable.

Furthermore, Sun Jiao's invitation was not something he could just reject if he wanted to.

Unless he didn't want to work hard, and as long as he wanted to get along well in his position, this kind of social interaction was inevitable.

In addition to Sun Jiao, Yang Chengzu also had to attend the banquets and poetry gatherings of several other local wealthy families, so as not to gain the reputation of being unsociable.

However, in past gatherings, everyone's attitude towards him was generally a bit complicated.

Except for the Sun family, which was full of goodwill, other attendees were more or less resistant.

Especially among the young people from major families, many tried their best to cause trouble for him.

This is not surprising.

Everyone knows that the most beautiful lady in Anlu, Sun Xueniang, Miss Sun, is interested in this arrogant martial artist.

Her Anlu flowers were snatched away by a warrior from out of town.

These are qualified to be the Sun family members.

The sons-in-law's sons will definitely not be happy.

They could always think of every means to provoke Yang Chengzu by fighting poems, fighting essays or even word riddles and couplets, and then they would be slapped back by the Sun family.

Dramas like this have happened several times, and Yang Chengzu himself is used to it.

But this New Year, he received only goodwill and no hostility.

The sales of his storybooks are getting better and better, and his short stories are loved by women in the boudoir, so there is no doubt that they will sell well.

Even those tomes that responded to Zhengde's call and stepped up their issuance still had good performance, which was an unexpected surprise.

It was Yue Fei who was praised in the Jingzhongzhuan.

Xu Peng, Duke of Wei in Nanjing, was called the reincarnation of Yue Fei.

As soon as this story came out, it first appealed to Duke Xu.

Nowadays, the shops in Nanjing that sell Jingzhong Message Book are all taken care of by the Duke of Wei.

Therefore, merchants who come to Anlu to do business will try their best to get a few Jingzhong Message Book back.

It is difficult for outsiders to tell clearly how much of this is whether Mr.

Xu really loves Yue Fei because of his relationship, or whether he is taking advantage of the opportunity to establish friendship with Prince Xing's palace.

But no matter what, with the influence of this relationship, Yang Chengzu's reputation has been established.

In this era, it does not mean that if you are knowledgeable, your reputation will be great.

There are some unlucky people who are full of knowledge but have no way to manage themselves.

As a result, they spend their whole lives in the county where they live.

Yang Chengzu was supported by the power of the Duke of Wei, and his literary reputation became increasingly popular throughout the southeastern region, so much so that many people regarded him as a scholar rather than a military general.

With this reputation, when Yang Chengzu made friends with others, in addition to his identity as Yiweizheng of Prince Xing's Mansion, he also had the identity of another talented person.

The advantage of having this status is that the gentry treated him as a half-scholar.

He was very polite in his words and deeds, unlike other warriors who treated him with their nostrils turned upward.

The Sun family did not mention the marriage again, but were concerned about the prince's studies and whether there was anything in the palace that needed help from the Sun family.

It can be seen that Sun Jiao is still very enthusiastic about his official career.

In other words, although he retreats to the forest, he never thinks about returning to the court and developing his ambitions again.

This is not to say that he is obsessed with officialdom.

If he had not had these opportunities, he would have hidden himself in the mountains and forests all his life, singing poems, drinking, and expressing his love for the mountains and rivers.

This would not be a problem.

But when they learned that the young prince was expected to aspire to the throne, no matter who he was, he would inevitably have some thoughts of his own.

The attitude of the entire Anlu gentry is generally the same.

Their relationship with the palace is not very good, and they have had various interest disputes in the past.

But when the prince is expected to succeed to the throne, everyone will put aside their prejudices and do their best to help the prince ascend the throne.

If an Anlu prince becomes an emperor, it will definitely be beneficial to the entire Anlu in the future.

This is almost the consensus of the Anlu gentry class.

There is no business that is more profitable than bringing out an emperor, so during this period of time, Prince Xing's Mansion has become the most dazzling star in Anlu.

The decent people in the Prince's Mansion have become the darlings of social activities.

Countless invitations arrived.

Even the most popular courtesans who purged houses were becoming more and more willing to receive nobles from the palace.

During the banquet, the most important thing for all the wealthy families, besides giving gifts, is to recommend their family members to the palace.

In the past, the royal palace was not their ideal choice.

After all, the room for improvement was limited.

If young people were thrown into it, they might just have a career as a sixth- or seventh-grade miscellaneous official, which was not interesting.

But now it has become an investment, and it may be returned dozens of times in the future, so they all recommend the most favored or outstanding children in their families, hoping to work in the palace.

In Yang Chengzu's view, these recommended persons may not be very outstanding, nor may their talents be very good.

But at this moment, the gap between people is not that wide.

Rather than believing in talent or talent, it is better to believe in the experience brought by training.

He does not have the collecting habit of the protagonists in some of the stories he has read, and must collect all the celebrities of his era.

In fact, in his opinion, whether those celebrities can be used and whether they can be used by themselves is far more important than their own talents.

No matter how talented you are, no matter how outstanding your skills are, if you can't use them for yourself, it's meaningless.

However, if these people who come to seek refuge are well tempered, they may not be much worse than those celebrities.

Through this kind of recommendation, the benefits he obtained directly or indirectly in Anlu were considerable.

In just one New Year, the benefits obtained by the Yang family could increase the value of their assets by several percent in future business activities.

In the alchemy room of the palace, as a place to practice elixirs and pursue immortality, this is the real forbidden area of ​​the palace.

Except for the prince, the prince, and Tao Zhongwen, no one else is allowed to enter.

It was here that the Crown Prince and Yang Chengzu could talk unscrupulously without having to worry about hearing through the walls.

Tao Zhongwen is responsible for the matters of warning.

This Taoist seems to be far more talented in these matters than in cultivation.

Zhu Houcong looked at the fire in the elixir furnace and turned around and asked Yang Chengzu: "Brother, do you think this elixir is ready?"

"I think it's almost done, but it still needs some heat.

If the elixir is produced now, it will be ready, but the potency is a bit off.

The main reason is that the medicinal materials are not quite right."

"Ke Gu thinks there's nothing wrong with this elixir.

My prescription is an ancient one.

If you say the medicinal ingredients are wrong, tell me what are the wrong flavors."

"This medicine contains a few old medicines that have been left over from the past, and a few new medicines that you picked yourself are missing.

There is no priority, and the king and the minister are unclear.

The medicine may be good medicine, but for people who take it, I'm afraid of the taste.

In my opinion, there is something wrong with those old medicines.

Take it out and throw it away, and replace it with herbs picked by yourself, so that you can trust it and eat it with confidence.

However, you cannot rush this matter.

Those old medicines are too strong.

If you take them now, it will have the opposite effect.

This has to be done slowly so that it can happen naturally
