After Duan Lun returned to Chang'an, he replied to Li Shimin and came to his mansion.

Most of the people in the mansion are their own guests, and these guests are also ambitious people who have gathered together to resist the aristocratic families over the past few days.

Facing everyone sitting down, Duan Lun said: "Now that the court wants to give the next censor's identity, Your Majesty means to inspect the territory of the five aristocratic families. What do you think?"

The five-class family originated from the Shandong gentry. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yi promoted the aristocratic family to strengthen the power of the Wei and Jin dynasties. The five-class family since the Han Dynasty began to grow stronger and became uncontrollable.

This also made the five-class family now become a prominent family for hundreds of years, which had a profound impact on the imperial power of the Central Plains.

The aristocratic families do not become emperors, but they will unite to control the emperor and would rather treat the emperor as their puppet.

There are still many children of five noble families in the court who serve as officials, although His Majesty has tried his best to curb this development.

Everyone was discussing privately, and the intention of asking Duan Lun to patrol the Shandong territory was already very obvious.

Duan Lun continued: "Over the years, we have been saying that the five families are not, but we have never done anything. We understand that this is very likely to be unable to come back. You can also understand it if you think about it."

Seeing that everyone was still silent, Duan Lun said again: "I won't force you. If you don't want to go with me, you can leave now."

After saying that, someone left.

One after another, more than a dozen left.

There are more than 60 people sitting in the mansion.

Looking at everyone's faces, Duan Lun said again: "Say another clear word to you. This time I went down to Shandong territory, just for the aristocratic family, not just walking around."

The scene was quiet again.

After saying this, more than a dozen people left.

With about 40 people left, Duan Lun stood up and said, "I'll give you all the time to think about it overnight. I know this may be a bit difficult for you."

After saying that, Duan Lun returned to his house.

Sitting alone in the room, Duan Lun thought of the faces of the children of the aristocratic families who mocked him two years ago.

and the laughter they teased themselves.

That look of being looked down upon.

What I looked up was a row of spiritual positions, which were all the ancestors of the Duan family.

Looking at his great-grandfather's spiritual position, Duan Lun kowtowed three times.

The Duan family has been a general since the Jin Dynasty and has been a general and a clan for all generations.

Duan Lun said to the spiritual position: "Once upon us, my ancestors will definitely shine on my Duan family's lintel!"

Early the next morning, Duan Lun saw that there were only more than a dozen guests left in his yard.

Looking at this scene, Duan Lun smiled self-deprecatingly, "There are so many people left?"

Walking to the stayed guest, Duan Lun asked, "Why did you stay?"

The man ate a roast chicken and said, "Follow Mr. Duan Lun to eat and drink. Besides, my knowledge is not as good as that of the five surnames. If I can have a future with Brother Duan, it will be a big profit."

Duan Lun smiled.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites have arrived at the door.

Li Chongyi walked to the door and accepted the token and decree brought by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The official from the Ministry of Rites said, "Dare you asking Mr. Duan, should you set out now?"

Duan Lun nodded, "Let's go today."

The official from the Ministry of Rites nodded and asked again: "Do you need an official to accompany you?"

Duan Lun nodded and looked at the other party: "The officials accompanying him don't need to be so arrogant."

The Ministry of Rites nodded and took the people away.

"Why don't you follow the officials? There's nothing wrong with being a little bigger than the show." The one who ate roast chicken just now asked.

"I know what kind of people they will arrange for me. This time I will rush to Shandong territory. No one can slow me down in the middle." Duan Lun looked at everyone who was eating breakfast and said, " Have a good meal, and then go after eating!"

"good!"

There was a response sound in the yard.

Duan Lun looked at this scene with a smile. The feeling of having his own strength is different from the previous feeling.

At noon that day, Duan Lun took his people to set off.

And Xu Jingzong, who was wandering in Chang'an City, also met someone.

Just as I was eating a bowl of mutton noodle soup, I met Li Xiaogong.

This guy just sat down so rudely, and he ordered a bowl of mutton noodle soup by himself, and he was very rude to pay for it himself.

Xu Jingzong saw Li Xiaogong eating mutton noodle soup and asked, "Prince of Hejian, is a bowl enough?"

Li Xiaogong nodded constantly and ate.

Xu Jingzong suddenly lost too much appetite and did not dare to make rash things in front of the Prince of Hejian, so he had to continue sitting and watching him eat.

After eating a bowl of mutton noodle soup, Li Xiaogong breathed comfortably, "It's so satisfying."

Xu Jingzong gave the friend the money for dinner, along with the one from Li Xiaogong, and ordered two bowls of tea.

Li Xiaogong looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "I think you have been quite leisurely these days."

Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly, "That was when the Prince of Hejian didn't see him busy."

When the tea was served, Xu Jingzong drank the tea and said, "Since the tea from Jingyang came out, these small vendors also had tea. The way to make tea is simple, but it can be easily taken at a glance, but it is still not as delicious as the tea from Jingyang."

Li Xiaogong is not interested in tea and prefers drinking.

The noise of hawking in the streets of East City was heard. Xu Jingzong put down his tea bowl and said, "Prince of Hejian, please say something."

Li Xiaogong said with a melancholy look on his face: "I haven't been to Pingkangfang very much on weekdays and don't know much about it."

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Xiaogong strangely.

Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said, "It's not that I want to go to Pingkangfang, don't get me wrong."

Xu Jingzong nodded thoughtfully.

"Although I am a little curious, I still have a wife and concubine in my family and go to Pingkangfang to say something, just curious." Li Xiaogong said again.

Seeing that Xu Jingzong's eyes were even more strange, Li Xiaogong sighed and said, "Actually, I didn't want to speak, but I really have no experience in saying this kind of thing, so I came to invite you."

Seeing that Li Xiaogong was finally willing to say his purpose, Xu Jingzong said: "What do you mean by the Prince of Hejian? Everyone is a man, so I can understand it."

Li Xiaogong said: "I definitely didn't mean to go to Pingkangfang."

Xu Jingzong nodded in a clear way.

"What are you nodding?"

Li Xiaogong immediately became nervous and explained: "It's really not that I'm going to Pingkangfang. A few days ago, Li Zheng didn't advise you to let those monks feel the beauty of life. I don't know how you guys came up with such a trick."

Xu Jingzong whispered: "This is also recommended by the Chang'an Order."
