Early spring in the imperial capital Zhongzhou is always late. When the south is green and full of spring, the breath of spring is still hiding here and wants to welcome it. However, compared with the dry and cold northwest and the northern Yanyun in northern China, the climate of Zhongzhou is still much more suitable. At least the wind and sand are not rampant here. With the huge water belt of the Shanjiang River, the warm and humid monsoon from the East Ocean is weak, it can still play a role, which makes Zhongzhou, the capital of the empire, more warm and humid than the dry inland areas.

When the weather is clear, the red men and green women in the imperial capital always call on their friends, and go out for outings in groups of three and five. Hongliu Lake/Longhu Mountain/Baima Temple/Longmen Grottoes are either famous for their natural scenery or are famous for their cultural landscapes. They have become the most popular places among ordinary people in the imperial capital. Every season is full of cars and crowds.

Most noble and wealthy gentry chose private manors in the suburbs as a leisure place to walk on green. A few families who are good at dragging their wives and concubines, a few light cars, and a few riding horses to find a hidden and quiet place to relax, have tea and chess, and have a drink and chat, which makes them feel at ease.

The great defeat of the Kaman invaders made the huge rocks that had been pressing on the heads of the people in the imperial capital disappear instantly. This sudden ease made the imperial capital city burn incense and worship, cheer and cheer. People who had nightmares all day long did not have to worry that the invaders' iron hooves would step into the imperial capital, and could live a peaceful and stable life in the past, although not rich but safe. Although for some people, perhaps the footsteps of Western Xinjiang may even be more dangerous than the Kaman people, for ordinary people, they cannot consider it.

So many, they only know that the threat of barbarian invasion has disappeared, and history is so amazingly similar. The arrogant and fierce Kaman people and the Puer people, like the arrogant Luo Bei people, were bleeding from his head and blood in his head when the King of Qin. They threw away their armor and fled back to the land. Apart from leaving more than 100,000 prisoners to the Western Frontier Army, the Kaman people and the Puer people seemed to have nothing. Even the empire had forgotten the world's number one pass, Jiayuguan. The Kaman people could only serve with their hands obediently without saying a word of complaint. What a glory and proud glory this is?!

In contrast, the outstanding achievements made by Western Xinjiang in diplomacy between the South and the South China Alliance were completely concealed by these glorious military achievements in the north. Except for some officials in the imperial court and some people who are interested, no one seemed to realize that the giant in Western Xinjiang was already trying to walk with two feet, although one of the feet had just grown out and looked so immature.

A strand of curly hair accidentally slipped down to block the handsome young man's sight, and he casually swept his chestnut hair. The handsome young man always had a pleasant and friendly smile on his face. The straight Western tuxedo set off his slender body more gracefully. The white silk was wiped in his hands from time to time. It seemed that this was the ridiculous habit of the nobles of the Western Continent.

Anyone can see that this young man with curly hair and blue eyes is a very educated noble child. Although his appearance looks more like he has white bloodline, it is not important. The style he shows is enough to prove that his origin is by no means cultivated by middle and lower classes. As for the white bloodline, it is not surprising that although the mainstream of the empire is dominated by yellow people, it does not exclude other races. Two of the five major families of the empire are large families with white bloodlines. As for the small and medium-sized aristocratic people, there are also many white people. After all, when the Situ Dynasty started its family, a large part of the help came from immigrants in the Western Continent. Among the nobles and gentry in the empire, there are even many people who marry white women as their wives and concubines. It is not uncommon for the royal family to marry white women.

There were more or less some women from the harems of the emperors of the Situ Dynasty who were immigrant nobles from the Western Continent to balance the strength of all parties. However, there is no precedent for the princes born by women from other races to become emperors. After all, it means that the most conservative Tang nobles in the Tanghe Empire still have quite powerful power in the upper class of the empire. Maintaining the purity of the Tang tribe of the emperor's bloodline is their bottom line.

The green shade is like a cover, the trees are lush, and the fence woven by bamboo strips is mixed with evergreen vines to isolate the small garden from other parts of the manor, forming a quiet little world. The curly-haired young man sat lazily on the lounge chair next to the stone table. As the lounge chair shakes, the fragrant coffee seems to be unable to arouse his interest at all, as if the thick book in his hand is the only one in his mind.

"Mr. Willy, why are you reading books here alone? I thought you went to the horse racing with them." A surprised voice sounded behind the curly young man. A hint of joy flashed in the curly young man's eyes, but the girl standing behind him could not see it. She was wearing a maroon long skirt, a slightly round face under the long black hair shawl, and a pair of bright eyes jumped with a flame of joy. This was the early feature of the beginning of love. If someone could find out here, the curly young man deliberately chose a position that was most easily discovered, so that those who came out of the monastery could see his back appropriately. If he was a person with a heart, he could identify his identity through his outfit at a glance.

"Oh, Miss Minghui, I don't like riding a horse very much, and so many people rushed over, are you not aware of this being too silly?" He stood up politely, invited the other party to sit, and gestured to the waiter who came and sent another cup of coffee. The curly-haired young man put down his book without being humble and arrogant, and replied with a smile.

"Ah, you feel the same as me. I don't like this kind of crowd of people swaying around the market, which gives people a sense of uneducation." He nodded to the other party's invitation and then sat down. A faint blush appeared on his face, which made the curly young man feel slightly moved, but his good qualities quickly calmed down and calmly thought about his next plan.

"Oh, Miss Minghui, I think this is just a personal preference. Some people like lively and some people like quietness, but we prefer a quiet and peaceful life." The curly young man took up the sugar cup attentively and told the other party whether to add sugar. Under the gesture of the other party's eyes, he put a piece of sugar cube for the other party, "Just like you like to drink sugar-filled coffee, but I prefer this pure and light bitter taste."

"Well, what you said makes sense. Maybe it's because of the different perspectives of personal view of life, which has led to different perceptions of things." The girl obviously prefers to discuss these topics of life, but the curly-haired young man doesn't want to spend more time on these topics, so he needs to get to the point.

"Miss Minghui, why haven't you seen your father these two days? Didn't he come with you?"

"Oh, he is too busy. He is back in the city. I don't know if he will come again." The round-faced girl shook her head, her face a little sad. "He always does this. Every time he comes, he goes in a hurry, and it's hard for me to stay with him for a day or two."

"Oh, Miss Minghui, you have to understand him. Your father is both a respected gentleman and a very successful businessman in the imperial capital. He has a lot of things, which is what he must pay as a successful person." The curly-haired young man defended his father.

"You are right. My father is indeed very respected. The people who deal with him are all very famous people in the empire." Hearing the other party's deliberate compliments, the girl also showed a proud smile on her face. "It turns out that some people in the imperial capital who are incompatible with my father, and now their relationship with my father has improved a lot. Many people who never come to my house to visit my father from time to time during this period."

"Oh, it's hard to change the attitude of these gentry. Their ability to visit your father shows that they sincerely regard your father as a friend." The curly-haired young man said carelessly.

"Well, Mr. Morton and Mr. Zhuang Liting have been coming to my house frequently during this period and have bought me a lot of gifts, but my father doesn't seem to be very happy. I don't like those things very much. I prefer the book that Mr. Willy gave me. I wonder if Mr. Vili has more collections of poems about folk poets in the Western Continent? I always feel that although the works of court poets in the Western Continent are gorgeous, they always have a more luxurious atmosphere. I prefer works like Petofi."

The content that was inadvertently revealed in the words of the round-faced girl made the curly-haired boy happy. As the eldest son of the Vilis family, Morton represents the direction of the Vilis family. Now Situ Jun has fallen, and finding a suitable backer has become the top priority of the Vilis family. Of course, this also attracts the attention of many forces. Zhuang Liting's status is also extraordinary. Although the imperial capital banker is not among the five major families of the imperial capital, as the largest financial family in the imperial capital, the Zhuang family has a strong influence in the financial and gold industries, controlling the Central Plains Money House, which is known as the first in the empire, and the Baodeli Jinxing, which is known as the giant in the industry, is directly affiliated with

In fact, several major gold mines in the Imperial Finance Administration were largely controlled by the banker. Whether it is the Zhongzhou Gold Mine and Longmen Gold Mine that are still under the control of the central government of the Empire, or the Cangzhou Gold Mine and Dengzhou Gold Mine that have been taken over by Situ Tai in the north, although they have experienced the changes of the power of the people, these gold mines are still firmly in the hands of the banker. Due to the special relationship between the banker and the central government of the Empire and Situ Tai, the banker's actions have actually become an important weather vane in the imperial capital politics. Although Zhuang Liting was only the cousin of the head of the Zhuang family, the curly-haired young man knew that he was even more respected by the head of the Zhuang family than many direct lines of the Zhuang family.
