Chapter 180

Lin Xuan brought Lin Mo and Wang Yiding to Keyun Tower.

Zhao Min saw Lin Xuan hurried up to greet him, and said with a smile, "This old servant has seen you, Master!"

Lin Xuan said: "Uncle Zhao, I'll take someone upstairs to the private room, and you can ask someone to bring some food and wine to you."

"Yes!"

Lin Xuan took the two of them upstairs to the private room, and said with a smile, "Sit down!"

"Brother Lin Xuan, you opened the Keyun Tower?" Lin Mo asked.

Although he came to Chang'an not long ago, he also knew that Keyunlou was the number one restaurant in Chang'an.

Not only have delicious meals, but also get drunk.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "It's just a place to eat. If you like it, you can come here often in the future. I'll just say hello to Uncle Zhao later."

It doesn't matter whether the restaurant is making money now or not.

Lin Mo shook his head quickly and said, "No need, no need."

Lin Xuan smiled and said nothing, he would go to say hello, as to whether he will come or not is his business.

Lin Mo was humiliated by Hou Yong many times, and he didn't go to the Lin's house for help, just because he was worried about causing trouble to him, and he had already obtained Lin Xuan's approval.

"You should know that the imperial court has reformed the imperial examination. What do you think of this reform?" Lin Xuan asked.

Before the reform of the imperial examination, there were not many officials who relied on the examination to become an official.

Most of the officials are recommended and selected from the Imperial College.

Lin Mo was taken aback, and said, "I think this is a good thing. With so many people in the Imperial College, it is definitely not our turn to select officials, but the imperial examination is our chance."

Wang Yiding also nodded in agreement. They are not much different from the poor family children, the only difference is that they have some connections in the family, so they were able to enter the Imperial College.

No matter how good they are at the Imperial College, they will not be able to get the recommended places from the Imperial College.

Lin Xuan said approvingly: "It's good if you can think so. I can't help you in high school. But if you pass the exam, it's okay to help you find a good place to go."

"Thank you brother Lin Xuan!"

"Thank you Hou Ye!"

The two quickly thanked.

Don't underestimate Lin Xuan's promise. If they pass the exam, it doesn't matter. It is very likely that they will go to some poor and remote places, where they can't make any achievements at all, and it is very difficult to get promoted.

At this moment, Xiao Er brought in the food and wine.

Lin Xuan said: "Let's have dinner. This is Immortal Drunk. If you are interested, you can try it. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't drink with you."

……

Hou Yong covered his face and returned to Duke Lu's mansion, and asked the concierge, "Is my father at home?"

"Hui Erlang, master is eating in the main hall!" said the porter.

He was a little puzzled as to why Hou Yong covered his face, but he didn't dare to ask further questions.

Hou Yong went straight to the main hall, and as soon as he reached the door, he howled dryly: "Father~"

Seeing Hou Yong coming in, Hou Junji put down the bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "What's wrong with crying? Aren't you in the Imperial College? Why are you back?"

Hou Yong put down his hands, exposed the slap marks on his face, and said, "Father, I was beaten, you have to avenge me."

Seeing the slap marks on his son's face, Hou Yang said distressedly, "Does Yong'er hurt?"

Hou Yong quickly cried out in pain: "Mother, it hurts."

Hou Junji said impatiently: "Okay, tell me, who hit you?"

Of course he understands Hou Yong's virtues, usually he is the only one who bullies others.

Now that someone beat him up, but still came to him, it meant that Hou Yong couldn't deal with that person.

"Father, it was Lin Xuan who beat him." Hou Yong said bitterly.

"Lin Xuan?" Hou Junji frowned, and asked, "Who asked you to provoke him?"

It's not that he's afraid of Lin Xuan, it's just that he doesn't want to conflict with Lin Xuan.

Hou Yong said aggrievedly: "Father, I didn't provoke him."

Hou Junji shouted: "If you didn't provoke him, would he beat you?"

Hou Yong explained: "Father, I had some unhappiness with a man named Lin Boyang from the Imperial College. Who knew he was Lin Xuan's clan brother. When I found out, I was about to leave. But Lin Xuan was so deceptive that he let I apologize, if I apologize, where will Dad's face be put. So I refused to apologize, Lin Xuan gave me a slap."

He concealed the part where he said what Lin Xuan was.

"boom!"

Hou Junji slapped the table and said angrily, "Lin Xuan is really deceiving people too much!"

Generally, in a situation like this, only the party with a lower status will apologize.

From Hou Junji's point of view, he is the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and his status is much higher than that of Lin Xuan, so why should his son apologize.

Fortunately, he worked hard and made great contributions to be named the Duke of the state. Lin Xuan didn't make any contributions, so he was made a marquis. Not to mention, now he is even ignored.

Hou Yong hurriedly added embellishments and said, "Father, he not only hit me, but also said that you dare not do anything to him!"

"That's unreasonable! Let's go, the old man will bring you to the door and ask for an explanation!" Hou Junji stood up and said.

"Master, this concubine also knows Marquis Jingyang. He should not be such a person. There must be some misunderstanding. If you come to the door like this, it will only make things worse. Why don't you invite him out and talk to him alone?" Hou Yang quickly persuaded road.

Historically, Hou Junji filled his own pockets in Gaochang. After the incident, Hou Yang once persuaded Hou Junji to admit his mistake to Li Shimin and hand over all the money.

But Hou Junji thought that Li Shimin would not punish him, and he did not listen to her.

After Li Shimin saw Hou Junji's incident, he was still unwilling to admit his mistake and sent him directly to prison.

Later, Hou Junji and Li Chengqian conspired to rebel, and Hou Yangshi also tried to persuade him, but in the end he couldn't persuade him.

Hou Yang's perspective on things is much higher than that of Hou Junji.

Most people would be even more powerful with such a good helper, but Hou Junji never listened to her.

"It won't take long for this matter to spread throughout Chang'an. If the old man does nothing, people will think that the old man is afraid of him, Lin Xuan. Who will take the old man seriously in the future?" Hou Junji said.

He was the first to propose Li Shimin's mutiny at the beginning. During the Xuanwumen Mutiny, he took the lead. When he finally rewarded his achievements, his status was lower than that of Cheng Yaojin and others, so he was very unconvinced.

But Lin Xuan and Cheng Yaojin were very close. From Hou Junji's point of view, Lin Xuan didn't take him seriously because he was backed by Cheng Yaojin and others.

Hou Junji ignored Hou Yang's bitter persuasion, took Hou Yong, gathered his own soldiers, and went to the Lin family.

……

After drinking and eating, Lin Xuan sent Lin Mo and Wang Yiding away from Keyunlou.

Just as he was about to go home, Zhao Min ran over and said, "My lord, wait a moment."

"Uncle Zhao, what's the matter?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Young master, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is almost finished, Zhang Du asked the old slave to ask if you have any other novels." Zhao Min said.

Ever since Ke Yunlou started talking about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the business is full every day, and he has tasted the sweetness.

He was worried that if there were no new novels, his business would plummet again after "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was finished.

Of course Lin Xuan has the new novels, but his family still has "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties".

But he was afraid that "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" would violate some taboos.

After thinking about it, there is only "Journey to the West", but "Journey to the West" is based on the story of Xuanzang's Buddhist scriptures.

Lin Xuan hesitated for a while, whether to take out "Journey to the West".

It's not because of the background of the story that he hesitated, it just needs to be adapted a little bit.

The Li family won the world. In order to show that they are orthodox, they respect Lao Tzu Li Er as the ancestor of the Li family.

And Laozi was revered as the ancestor of Taoism, and Taoism naturally became the state religion of the Tang Dynasty.

The great prosperity of Taoism naturally caused the decline of Buddhism, and Buddhism came up with a way to go west to learn scriptures.

In history, Xuanzang's return from studying Buddhist scriptures really made Buddhism flourish.

Lin Xuan felt that once "Journey to the West" came out, it would definitely make Buddhism flourish.

In history, Xuanzang proposed to Li Shimin to go west to learn Buddhist scriptures, but Li Shimin did not agree at first.

Lin Xuan was a little worried about Li Shimin's attitude towards Buddhism, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing to worry about. Didn't Li Shimin finally agree with Xuanzang to learn Buddhist scriptures?

"Uncle Zhao, I've almost prepared the new novel. I'll have someone deliver it after a while," Lin Xuan said.

Whether he can take out "Journey to the West" or not, Buddhism will flourish. If that is the case, why should he think so much about it.

　Thanks for the 51 stone reward.
