The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1533 Differences
Although it is a matter in the palace, the officials of the imperial court pay attention to the palace all the time. Although the affairs in the palace are not on the surface, they can more or less hear some of the private movements. In the past few days, it is obvious that the atmosphere in the court hall is very depressed. His Majesty Li Er is calm on the surface, but the more calm he is, the more panicked the people below are.

Duke Jinyang only came back from Taizhou for a few days. He used to live in Zhuangzi, but this time, he didn’t live in the mansion on Zhuangzi. He lived directly in Chang’an. Duke Yang shouldn't be living in Chang'an City now. Now he is living in Chang'an City. If there is nothing wrong with this, they would not believe it. Coupled with the current atmosphere in the palace, it makes people daydream.

People who don't know make many guesses, but those who know the inside story don't know what they think.

Although the palace has been cleaning up some unclean things in the past few days, and the guards brought back by Xuan Shijing in Chang'an City have been wandering outside, but the court is still the same as before, what to do, and no one mentions this. As for the matter, judging by His Majesty Li Er's current attitude, no one dares to touch this bad luck.

Hundreds of bureaucrats in the court more or less knew a little bit, but even in private, he didn't dare to talk about it, it was just tacit understanding, and it wasn't because His Majesty was tossing about taking "elixir" to make a fuss.

Chang'an City has such an ethos, but everyone knows it in their hearts, and no one publicizes it, let alone His Majesty is the Son of Heaven.

As usual, Xuan Shijing was going to find Deyi after retreating from the court, but was stopped by Prince Li Chengqian on the way.

"Little Jing." Li Chengqian walked quickly from behind to Xuan Shijing's side.

"His Royal Highness." Xuan Shijing came back to his senses, and when he saw Li Chengqian, he bowed his hands slightly.

"How has Xiaojing been so diligent these past few days?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing and asked with a smile.

"Although something happened in Taizhou, after all, it is a newly established place. I reckon that it will take some time before it can be completely stabilized. After all, this Taizhou is the place that General Liu and I personally led the naval officers and men to take down. Naturally, it will take more time." Concerned about it, generally speaking, it is a little different for Taizhou." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Didn't Xiaojing win Xiongjin today? Why, Xiaojing doesn't care as much about Xiongjin as he does Taizhou." Li Chengqian joked with a smile.

"Wongjin is different. Today's DBH is the original Goguryeo. It has been the Central Plains' confidant since the Sui Dynasty. In that place, too many good young people from the Central Plains were buried. It is not my credit." Xuan Shi Jing said: "But Taizhou is different. If you have to say where Taizhou is different, there is really a little bit."

"Oh? What's the difference?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

Xuan Shijing stopped, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Because of the navy, what I brought back from Taizhou is a real benefit. Taizhou has real gold and platinum, but what about Xiongjin? A place of bitter cold, so many years In the past, only Xue Rengui guarded there, and the imperial court didn’t go to Xiongjin to subsidize money and food. It’s not bad. If you want Xiongjin to repay the imperial court, it’s a matter of the year of the monkey. Therefore, Xiongjin is different from Taizhou.”

Because Taizhou has touching interests, there are many people staring at Taizhou. Because there is not much money in Xiongjin, so few people focus on Xiongjin.

In fact, Liaodong and Xiongjin are really not a place of bitter cold, but there are some things that Xuan Shijing doesn't want to point out in front of all officials. There are nearly [-] troops stationed there, only the military salary is allocated by the court, and the rest is self-sufficient by the army there.

What this shows is that Xue Rengui has a way to meet the needs of the army when he leads troops in Xiongjin.

The land in Liaodong is no worse than that in Guanzhong. It is a well-known black land, and it is more than enough to feed a mere [-] troops.

Xuan Shijing and Li Chengqian said these things, but they wanted to drag the topic away. There may be some rumors in the palace about the matter he wants to investigate now, but it can't be said from Xuan Shijing's mouth. When a definite result comes out, Xuan Shijing's mouth will be tightly shut.

"So that's the case. In the final analysis, it's still money that touches people's hearts." Li Chengqian smiled, and then Li Chengqian approached Xuan Shijing, his voice lowered: "Xiao Jing knows that the atmosphere in the palace has been a little bit lately. unusual?"

Xuan Shijing raised her eyebrows and said: "Although I have been going to Hanyuan Hall every day for the morning court these two days, after all, I am a foreign minister and I don't know anything about the palace. Why, did something happen in the palace?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian shook his head: "No, maybe it's because the weather has been too hot recently, and I've been in the palace all the time, so I feel a little depressed."

Xuan Shijing frowned, then said with a smile: "It's okay to be depressed all the time, it's good to go out of the palace if you have time to relax."

Li Chengqian nodded, and then chatted with Xuan Shijing for a few more words, and then the two parted ways in the palace. Li Chengqian went back to his bedroom, while Xuan Shijing went back to the palace to find Deyi.

But in his heart, Li Chengqian's behavior was a bit suspicious, he obviously wanted to get some news from him, but he was quietly blocked by him.

Li Chengqian is the crown prince of the East Palace, so it is impossible for him not to know what happened in the palace. No matter how well Deyi hides it, he cannot hide it from the crown prince. Moreover, Li Chengqian knows the whole story about His Majesty Li Er. During this period, it was Li Chengqian who took the place of His Majesty Li Er in the Hanyuan Hall to manage the government.

If that's the case, then Li Chengqian just tested it in front of him, what exactly does this mean?
Xuan Shijing was a little confused about Li Chengqian now.

Could this matter have something to do with Li Chengqian?

Such a terrible guess appeared in Xuan Shijing's mind.

But if it is really related to Li Chengqian, then what is Li Chengqian's purpose for doing this?
For yourself?I didn't offend him, and if it was directed at me, what benefit would Li Chengqian get?If it wasn't for Xuan Shijing who suddenly remembered what he saw Li Chengqian in the East Palace study a few days ago, Li Chengqian at that time gave Xuan Shijing a feeling that something was wrong, but Xuan Shijing didn't know what was wrong. If you think about it carefully, maybe you can really figure it out.

The Tang Dynasty has been established for more than 30 years, and His Majesty Li Er has been sitting on the throne for more than 20 years. Now Li Chengqian is more than 30 years old and has been the prince for more than 20 years. No matter how you look at it, you can't wait.
