The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1692 His Majesty Li Er's Tangle

"Why, you beat up the young master of the Dou family, and the people of the Dou family won't trouble you?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Wherever the minister goes, there is a reason for this matter. The Dou family can't catch it. If they want to mobilize the minister, they have to weigh it. This matter is originally Dou Xiaoguo's fault. Dou Xiaoguo himself is afraid that he will have no face to bring it up again. This matter." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "A big man scares a little girl of a few years old, and it would be embarrassing to talk about it."

"So you beat people up in the street? Have you forgotten that you beat Dou Kui in Zhuangzi? If you don't know the seriousness this time and beat Dou Xiaoguo to death again, how do you ask me to protect you?" His Majesty Li Er said angrily.

"Your Majesty calm down, your body is important." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "I know the seriousness with my hands, and I let the people under my hands beat him, so I didn't use weapons. It's all fists and kicks. It can't be broken. At least it's not enough to lie down It's not enough to recuperate on the bed, besides, this matter is justified, what are you afraid of?"

"Reasonable?" His Majesty Li Er saw Xuan Shijing like this, and thought about how he beat Dou Xiaoguo in the street, he couldn't get angry at all: "Is the Dou family a reasonable person? When I first succeeded to the throne, That is a master who disturbs three points unreasonably."

"But it's different now." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "The glory of the Dou family has passed, and if His Majesty doesn't take action to suppress the Dou family now, it may be very difficult for His Highness the Crown Prince in the future."

His Majesty Li Er heard the words and nodded, he really had such a meaning in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't let Deyi call Xuan Shijing over today.

The power of the Dou family is really too great, he is still sitting in this seat, the Dou family dare not move, but if in the future, the crown prince succeeds, the Dou family can take advantage of the new king's succession, get a breathing space, and then develop As it continues to grow, it is uncertain when it will be under the control of the emperor again. Therefore, His Majesty Li Er has to guard against it.

If you want to deal with the Dou family, you need to form a delicate balance between the Dou family and the ministers in the court. His Majesty Li Er is also playing tricks with the emperor's check and balance technique. He can check and balance himself, so there is no need for others If you can't check and balance yourself, then support, and in the end when both sides are hurt, the emperor will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

His Majesty Li Er is confident that he can suppress the Dou family, but he is still skeptical about whether the prince can suppress the Dou family. Without him, it is the performance of the prince against the Dou family in the court these days that makes His Majesty Li Er I feel that my son is still a little lacking in confidence when facing a family with such a profound and powerful family background as the Dou family.

So His Majesty Li Er planned to let Xuan Shijing, a cunning man, help the prince to deal with the Dou family. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so soon. Xuan Shijing beat Dou Xiaoguo of the Dou family on the street. The Dou family will never get close to the Xuan family no matter what, the new and old grudges between the two families can all be settled now.

"It seems that your heart is clear, kid." His Majesty Li Er said.

"I dare not, it's just that I'm still a bit powerless to watch the crown prince face off against the Dou family in the court hall." Xuan Shijing said truthfully.

If the crown prince could firmly suppress the Dou family, then when the Dou family talked about Dou Shanglie's case in the court hall, Li Chengqian would not have to run away, and face the Dou family directly, be a bit tougher, and it's fine.

Perhaps Li Chengqian's lack of confidence also lies in his current status. The crown prince is not the emperor after all. On his head, there is His Majesty Li Er. With such a great god, Li Chengqian couldn't let himself go.

Speaking of the current situation, His Majesty Li Er's eyes also flashed a trace of complexity. He didn't know that it is difficult for the crown prince to do so in the court. Is it possible to abdicate and let the virtuous?
His Majesty Li Er is also entangled. He still wants to live for two more years to see Datang well. At the same time, he is still worried about whether Datang can go on as he thinks. Therefore, His Majesty Li Er is now in this seat and will continue to stay. No, not even taking a step back. In this way, it will be Li Chengqian who suffers.

Thinking of this, the original purpose of His Majesty Li Er calling Xuan Shijing to come here is not so important. Compared with Li Tang's royal family, the Dou family is now just a deeply rooted family. To make the Dou family gradually decline, it just needs to use some means and take more time, which is not difficult, so His Majesty Li Er is not so anxious about the affairs of the Dou family.

What troubled him the most now was the father-son situation in front of him.

"The crown prince has already challenged Datang on his shoulders. How can it be possible if the Dou family can't get over this hurdle?" His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Forget it, anyway, the future of Datang belongs to you people, follow you Go make a fuss."

Although His Majesty Li Er said so, he just wanted to end this meeting, and then return to the harem to be quiet.

Therefore, when this sentence is spoken, it also has the meaning of chasing customers.

Xuan Shijing also heard what His Majesty Li Er meant, that is, he didn't care about this matter and let them toss about it. He wanted to cultivate his body in the harem and live for two more years.

Everyone in the world is afraid of death, even His Majesty Li Er is no exception. If he can live for two more years, who would be in a hurry to die?

People are afraid to breathe a sigh of relief. His Majesty Li Er tensed himself up for more than 30 years. He dared not let himself relax all the time. With Crown Prince Li Chengqian in the seat of His Majesty the Second, His Majesty Li Er can take a rest. After this rest, he is relieved. If he wants to come back again, he will have to spend some effort and pay a price. of.

And the price is his health. To put it simply, it is a terrible deal to come to court again.

In the past, His Majesty Li Er could sacrifice his life for the sake of his ideals, but now most of His Majesty Li Er's ideals have been realized, and the rest is Li Chengqian, so is this life worth giving?
Now the Imperial Physician in the palace has been admonishing His Majesty Li Er not to let him worry about political affairs. Even the Empress Changsun said that since the Crown Prince presides over him, he only needs to sit in the harem and watch the Prince.

But now there is such a situation, if the power and name are not completely given to the crown prince, then the crown prince will eventually be bound by his hands and feet in doing things, so His Majesty Li Er needs to think carefully about this issue up.

"Forget it, you step back first, let me be quiet first." His Majesty Li Er said to Xuan Shijing.
