The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1874
"Your Majesty, sir."

"Speak directly." Li Chengqian said without raising his head.

"Yes, I think that Zheng An, I'd better send someone to look at it." The man from Baiqisi said.

"Why, don't you trust Zheng An?" Li Chengqian laughed.

"Yes, I see, although there is a rift between Zheng An and the Zheng family, the Zheng family is involved in this matter. I think that at the critical moment of the Zheng family's life and death, and the head of the Zheng family personally wrote a letter to plead with him, he will soften his heart. After all, the Patriarch of the Zheng family is Zheng An's own father, and between relatives, the bones are broken and the tendons are still connected." The Baiqisi responded.

"Bones are still connected between family members. Let me tell you, the one who broke the relationship between Zheng An and the Zheng family was Zheng An's own father, who is now the head of the Zheng family. Let alone the bones." Now, even the tendons have been picked together." Li Chengqian said: "It is true that Zheng An entered the imperial court and participated in the banquet in the palace, but the relationship between him and the Zheng family At that time, there was an uproar in Chang'an. In order to suppress Zheng An, the Zheng family arranged many relationships to prevent Zheng An from becoming an official. Scholars, ten years of hard work, once the world knows, Zheng An has been cold for more than ten years, it's hard With the opportunity to be an official and to live a good life, but his own father wants to cut off his way with his own hands, you said, if this matter happened to you, would you hate it? Tell the truth."

"I hate you." The Baiqisi hesitated for a while before responding to Li Chengqian.

"Yeah, hate, new and old hatred, Zheng An's resentment towards the Zheng family has not disappeared when he was a child, and in the past few years, he has added new grievances with the Zheng family. Will Zheng An help the Zheng family? Will he help one treat him like this, treat his mother? Li Chengqian said: "People's hearts are made of flesh. I don't believe that there are such stupid saints in this world. Besides, for example, even if Zheng An's heart softens, he still misses a little bit of affection. If you want to help the Zheng family, how can he help? Contact Qi Guogong? Qi Guogui will help the Zheng family?"

"Yes, listen to His Majesty's words, minister, Mao Sai suddenly understood."

"Go ahead and continue looking at the Zheng family." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes, I obey the order." The Baiqisi took the order, and then withdrew from the Xuanzheng Hall.

Today, the people from Baiqisi mentioned Zheng An in front of Li Chengqian, which really made Li Chengqian a little interested in Zheng An. What a reaction.

Will it be as he said?

"Lin'an." Li Chengqian called out.

"Your servant is here." Lin'an stepped forward to answer.

"Find someone with good skills, go to Suzhou, and ask me about something." Li Chengqian said: "As for what it is, you heard it just now."

"Yes, this servant will arrange for you now." Lin'an said.

Asking Lin'an to arrange a trip to Suzhou was just to satisfy Li Chengqian's curiosity.

"Wait a while, and, send someone to pass on this matter to Duke Qi." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes." Lin'an replied.

Li Chengqian and Xuan Shijing weaved a giant net. One of them surveyed the whole situation in the middle of the net, and the other started aiming at the prey. Now the Zheng family is wrapped in the middle of the net. No matter what he did, Li Chengqian, the person who controlled the network, could see it.

Lin'an went to arrange the matter that Li Chengqian explained. Li Chengqian himself began to speculate on the candidates for the new county magistrate of Luoyang City in the Xuanzheng Palace. The first batch of students who participated in the imperial examination at the academy had been in office for a long time, and it was time to use them up.

Li Chengqian picked up a list from the side of the desk, and began to carefully consider and think about suitable candidates.

Since Xuan Shijing went to Luoyang from Chang'an, Li Chengqian found out this list and kept it on his desk. He knew that local officials must be involved in Xuan Shijing's going out this time. Things, once involved, would be a death under Xuan Shijing's hands, and he went out to rectify heavily.

Xuan Shijing is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of killing. No one knows this better than Li Chengqian. The Xuan family has the status it has today. Xuan Shijing can sit on the seat of Qi Guogong at a young age. Most of them are not killed on the battlefield. , Such a person, would he be afraid of killing someone?
And when he went out to kill people, Li Chengqian also instructed him to do so.

Xu Jingzong went to Luoyang first, and the follow-up matters should be followed by the court.

In the early morning of the next day, Hanyuan Hall, early court.

"All the officials have something to play, and nothing to do~~" Lin'an stood beside Li Chengqian and shouted loudly.

For a long time, no one stood up in the court to play.

"Dear lovers are like this, I thought that the Tang Dynasty was peaceful, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was nothing wrong with the whole Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty is divine, literary and holy, and the Tang Dynasty is safe and peaceful." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, there were people who stood up and flattered him immediately.

"Okay, okay, no one can fool you when you say this. I still know myself. However, since my lords have nothing to say, let me say something." Li Chengqian said.

Several officials from the three provinces standing below saw Li Chengqian's words, observed Li Chengqian's expression furtively, and wondered in their hearts whether His Majesty was going to talk about the bank.

These people were all ministers summoned by Li Chengqian in the Xuanzheng Hall. Among them, only Xu Jingzong left Chang'an and went to Luoyang City. What Xu Jingzong did in Luoyang City also had guesses in their hearts, at least they knew, Xu Jingzong went for the bank's affairs.

But the emperor didn't say anything, and even gave an order to keep silent. If this matter is spread out privately, I'm afraid we will have to be more careful in court in the future, so these officials are very tight-lipped. Now, it is the emperor who wants to mention this matter It's a matter, if the emperor wants them to answer the question later, they have to carefully weigh how to say this and how to do it.

"It's been a long time since Datang established a bank and promoted it." Li Chengqian cleared his throat and said, "It was first done during the reign of the Supreme Emperor, and the Ministry of Households ran away because of this matter. , Finally, the matter finally came to fruition, and the bank has also been established. The existence of the bank has provided a lot of convenience for scholars, farmers, businessmen, but now, the common people are convenient, but the national treasury is constantly in deficit. Why is the treasury in deficit? Because The money of the bank is linked to the treasury of the imperial court. If the bank loses money, the treasury will give money to subsidize it. It can’t let the people of Tang Dynasty suffer, right? People trust the court, and when they see the bank, no one can deposit money in, and then Has the money evaporated?"
