The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2041 Strategies?

Xuan Shijing heard the words, but did not respond, just smiled slightly.

This Li Xiang is quite patient.

Xuan Shijing could probably guess what Li Xiang was thinking, but Li Xiang didn't say anything clearly, he just did it silently, coming to Zhuangzi every now and then, to communicate with the Supreme Emperor and the Xuan family.

I have to say that Li Xiang is quite smart like this. For him, by doing this, he can attack while advancing and defend when retreating.

Li Xiang wanted to talk to Xuan Shijing about the Qianzhuang case, but seeing Xuan Shijing sitting there drinking tea by himself, it was hard to say anything.

Several officials who were close to Li Xiang were also involved in the Qianzhuang case, and Li Xiang also wanted to come over to find out.

Even Li Xiang didn't know what was going to happen at the conferment ceremony, he just wondered if he could find a chance to keep those officials.

If he could save them, he wouldn't be alone in court, and it would be good for him to be seen by others.

Because by doing this, you can tell everyone that he, Li Xiang, can keep the people who follow him.

"Uncle has been investigating the case of the bank this year, is it very hard?" Li Xiang said: "Although Xiao Wang is in Chang'an City, he has heard many things. This journey is really not easy."

Xuan Shijing put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not bad, with His Majesty supporting me, being my backer, it's a little easier to get things done."

Li Xiang smiled and sighed: "Originally, the bank was intended to benefit the people, but I never imagined that it would come to where it is today."

In the Qianzhuang case, half of the officials in the Tang Dynasty must be involved, right?
It was originally a good thing, but in the end, because of the relationship between interests, the good things also changed.

"People's hearts are unpredictable." Xuan Shijing said: "Any new affairs have to go through a dark period, and now the bank is also like this. Although it has been cleaned up, after three to five years, ten or twenty years, Such moths will still breed, and this kind of situation is all caused by the greed of people's hearts."

"Uncle said yes." Li Xiang nodded and said.

"The situation in Chang'an City is complicated now. As the prince, His Highness, it's better not to get involved in the affairs of Chang'an City." Xuan Shijing said: "You are my wife's nephew and the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Being in the court hall, His Highness should be aware of how serious this matter is, and His Majesty is also determined to rectify it, so His Highness should think about it in his heart. Your Highness, there is no benefit at all."

Li Xiang and Xuan's family come and go frequently, and Xuan Shijing also reminded him, anyway, it's just to stop, not much to say, if something happens to Li Xiang, the close relationship between him and Zhuangzi must be serious. It was taken out and said, and it hurt Zhuangzi.

Xuan Shijing also understood it in her heart.

In terms of familiarity, Li Xiang must be more familiar with the Xuan family than Li Jue.

When Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang were not married, Xuan Shijing often saw Li Xiang in the East Palace, and Li Jue was still a baby at that time.

"Please uncle teach me." Li Xiang stood up and knelt down to Xuan Shijing on the spot.

"His Royal Highness, what are you doing?" Xuan Shijing hurried forward and helped Li Xiang up.

"Uncle, to be honest, my nephew has several officials who are also involved in the Qianzhuang case." Li Xiang said: "Now my nephew is very disturbed. , my nephew will definitely not escape the guilt."

"What are you afraid of?" Xuan Shijing said: "They are them, you are you, did you let them get involved in the Qianzhuang case?"

Xuan Shijing didn't expect that the case of Qianzhuang would involve the prince.

Li Xiang said that people around him were involved, but Li Xiang didn't benefit from it at all?

Xuan Shijing didn't believe it even if he said it to the sky.

Li Xiang shook his head upon hearing this.

"Then please tell me the truth, Your Highness, has your Highness also gained a lot from the bank?" Xuan Shijing looked at Li Xiang with a serious expression.

"This nephew doesn't know." Li Xiang's eyes were erratic.

Seeing Li Xiang like this, Xuan Shijing knew it in his heart.

Li Xiang is still young.

He may not know, but the people under him will inevitably do things in his name, and in the end, they will still involve him.

In this case, other people will kill if they say so, but once the prince is involved, what should we do?Can it be killed?
Now there are only two grown-up princes under Li Chengqian's knees, Li Xiang, Li Yi, and Li Jue will be grown-ups in a few days.

Xuan Shijing frowned tightly, this time is troublesome.

At first, I thought that Li Xiang was confused because of the Empress Dowager Ceremony, and wanted to draw in the relationship with the Xuan family, but I didn't expect that such a thing would be involved in just ordinary words.

"Your Highness, do you want to live?" Xuan Shijing asked seriously.

"Naturally." Li Xiang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

As long as Xuan Shijing is willing to help him, then there is no problem. No matter what the purpose is, as long as you help him, that means you have a relationship with him, and if you have contact with him, things will be much easier in the future. .

"Go back and investigate strictly. All the officials involved in the Qianzhuang case will be arrested." Xuan Shijing said.

"This..." Li Xiang hesitated after hearing the words.

Since Concubine Su Guifei became Empress Su, Li Xiang had fewer and fewer officials around him. If he did this, wouldn't he become a lonely family?

Seeing Li Xiang's hesitation, Xuan Shijing guessed that Li Xiang had the intention to compete for the position of the East Palace, but in terms of status, he was not qualified, so he wanted to compete for power. The current momentum is not good for him. If these officials around him are dealt with according to law, wouldn't they be alienated from the people around them?
Either way, Li Xiang is still too tender.

Now all the officials and bureaucrats in the entire Chang'an City are under the surveillance of Baiqisi, who can escape?
There are some things, maybe His Majesty already knew about them, but just didn’t say anything clearly, just waiting for you to go to the palace to confess.

Now Li Xiang is still hesitating, and in the end, no one can save him.

Li Xiang fell into a struggle.

Originally, this was also his strategy. Anyway, he should get involved with the Xuan family first, otherwise, he would not easily reveal something to Xuan Shijing, but now, it seems that the situation is reversed. Jing pushed into the corner.

Of course, he could choose not to.
