The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1517 The helplessness of powerful ministers

No matter whether it is Li Ke or Li Tai, if he becomes the prince and sits on the throne, Changsun Wuji can think of his end. His Majesty Li Er's minister, Tuogu, is a minister of the imperial court. The emperor is bound to be restrained by such a minister, even if he is not restrained. If such a minister is placed in front of the emperor, the emperor will be happy?Will you be satisfied?
At that time, if Changsun Wuji had a bad relationship with the emperor, and the emperor was too strong, then the unlucky one would naturally be him, the powerful minister of Tuogu.

No matter what time it is, Li Ke will never get too close to Changsun Wuji, and Li Tai. Li Tai is not young anymore. Let Changsun Wuji contact Li Tai at this time, no matter how you look at it, it will make people feel Changsun Wuji went there with other purposes.

As for the rest, the only prince born by His Majesty Li Er is Jin Wang Li Zhi. At that time, Li Zhi was not yet a weak crown, and after the death of his younger sister, Empress Changsun, His Majesty Li Er not only personally brought Princess Jinyang to his side In the upbringing, he was very concerned about the Ninth Prince, and in the eyes of the court officials, the Ninth Prince was naturally elegant and kind. At that time, to put it in a bad way, he was mean, mediocre, and weak-tempered.

And it was this kind of Li Zhi that caught Changsun Wuji's eyes. For Changsun Wuji, it would be a good thing for a courtier like him that such a prince would become a prince and become emperor in the future.

Moreover, Li Zhi was young at that time, and I helped him to sit on the prince's seat. After becoming the emperor in the future, no matter how I said it, I would be grateful for the kindness of supporting him at the beginning, and the eldest grandson Wuji was Li Zhi's biological uncle. , the relationship is even more exhausted, and Li Zhi's character, after sitting on the emperor's seat, would never attack a courtier like him.

It's a pity that Changsun Wuji didn't expect Wu Meiniang to appear among them. He didn't fight with the emperor, but he was defeated in the fight with the emperor's queen in the harem. After Li Zhi built the steps, Li Zhi also went down the steps.

No emperor would like his power to be taken by a courtier, even if this courtier is his uncle, helping him ascend to the throne step by step.

The throne is something that can change a person who was kind-hearted by nature, and it has such a magical power.

Looking back on the memories in his mind, plus his own guesses, Xuan Shijing felt more and more that Changsun Wuji was very interesting.

It cannot be said that he is disloyal to the royal family. After all, my sister is the queen. When my brother-in-law wanted to take the throne, he was always behind the scenes to help him, and even persuaded him. In the Zhenguan dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji was an extremely human minister. Sitting in this seat, the family has a great cause Da, naturally you have to plan for your own future, not just looking at the present, which courtier can spend his whole life full of honor and favor?

When it came to the position of Changsun Wuji, the change of the throne brought him to plan for himself, to push himself forward, even if he wanted to withdraw, could he retreat?He can't even retreat by himself.

But now what also puzzled Xuan Shijing was that the seat of Li Chengqian's crown prince was very secure, so why did Changsun Wuji still have such a cold attitude towards the crown prince?
It stands to reason that if a powerful official like Changsun Wuji wants to live in the court for a long time, the relationship with the prince should not be like this.

Xuan Shijing walked and thought all the way, and soon followed the servants of the East Palace to the door of Li Chengqian's study in the East Palace.

The inner room knocked on the door of the study.

"Your Highness, Duke Xuan has arrived."

"Please come in." Li Chengqian's voice came from the study.

The servant pushed open the door of the study room, and respectfully invited Xuan Shijing to enter the study room. As soon as the door opened, there was a chilly atmosphere in the study room. After Xuan Shijing walked into the study room, he found that there were still I bought two basins of ice cubes to cool down the temperature. It was very hot outside this day, but Li Chengqian enjoyed it quite a bit in his study.

I couldn't help but Li Chengqian didn't enjoy it. Facing a table full of memorials about trivial matters this day, if the study room was extremely hot, then Li Chengqian's temper would explode.

After Li Chengqian saw Xuan Shijing coming in, he put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Xuan Shijing.

"Little Jing, sit down." Li Chengqian greeted Xuan Shijing to take a seat, and then ordered the little eunuch in the study to serve Xuan Shijing tea.

"I don't know why Your Highness is looking for this minister?" Xuan Shijing asked.

When Li Chengqian heard Xuan Shijing's words, he smiled slightly: "After returning from Taizhou, Xiaojing and Bengong are so unfamiliar."

It's not intentional unfamiliarity, it's just that Xuan Shijing is getting older now, and can no longer be as close as before. He can be regarded as "young" and can get close to the prince without the slightest distance. Nowadays, ministers are ministers, and kings are kings. I also thought of Changsun Wuji, so after seeing Li Chengqian, although there were some things I couldn't understand, there was always nothing wrong with being polite.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Xuan Shijing just smiled and didn't respond.

Li Chengqian continued: "Yesterday, I wanted to keep you here and have a good talk with you, but you left in a hurry and missed your home, so I didn't send anyone to look for you. Knowing that you came to the palace to attend the court meeting today, I would Sending someone to wait for you outside, but unexpectedly being summoned by the emperor, it is really not easy to see Xiaojing."

"Your Highness is calling, I dare not neglect." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Your Highness also wants to know about Taizhou?"

Xuan Shijing had a clue in his heart. The ministers in the court saw the "special products" that Xuan Shijing brought back from Taizhou. Many people were thinking about Taizhou, but Xuan Shijing didn't expect that Li Chengqian was also interested in Taizhou. , Could it be that His Royal Highness is also short of money?

Li Chengqian shook his head: "I don't have much interest in Taizhou Bengong. After all, no matter how rich Taizhou is, in the end most of it will go to the state treasury. Moreover, Bengong is not short of money."

After all, in the Xuanjia Chamber of Commerce, there is still some profit from Li Chengqian. Up to now, Li Chengqian is still collecting money. Naturally, there is no shortage of money. The life of the East Palace is so moist today, and there is also a credit for the money pile, so the money pile is used as The big treasurer of the Xuan Family Chamber of Commerce, almost no one dared to touch him in Chang'an City. Behind the pile of money was not only Xuan Shijing, Duke of Jinyang County, but also the current crown prince and two princes.

"I found Xiao Jing today just to reminisce about the old days." Li Chengqian smiled and said, "You don't have to be cautious, after all, you and I haven't seen each other for more than half a year."

In fact, what Li Chengqian couldn't let go of was his sister.
