The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2128 Involvement
But the Dou family was not dealt with. On the contrary, Dou Xiaoguo of the Dou family was promoted. From a small official in Chang'an City, he became a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and his official position was even higher than that of Lai Junchen.

As far as Dou Xiaoguo's promotion speed is concerned, who in the court is not jealous?
Because Dou Xiaoguo is a member of the Dou family, and because Dou Xiaoguo rescued Qi Guogong's daughter at a critical moment, His Majesty treats him differently.

And what about those officials who have been struggling at the bottom?It's not that they don't have talent, they just lack an opportunity.

At least, that's what Lai Junchen thought. He worked hard for most of his life, but the result was not as good as the official university obtained by a yellow-mouthed child who saved another person.

Thinking about it this way, can his heart be balanced?

In addition, officials from the Ministry of Rituals said that when His Royal Highness King E was selecting a princess, Dou Xiaoguo went to check the list after the roster had already been determined. It's strange that his name appeared in the roster.

The reason why Junchen knew about this matter was that officials from the Ministry of Rites came to him in advance to ask for advice because they were afraid of accidents.

Lai Junchen didn't know, it was precisely because the officials of the Ministry of Rites panicked and ran to him, that Dou Xiaoguo knew that the officials of the Ministry of Rites had something to do with Lai Junchen, and then followed the vine to find out the connections of the officials of the Ministry of Rites by [-]% to [-]%. .

In the future, when Dou Xiaoguo works in the Ministry of Rites, he will know when to avoid whom.

"The Dou family." Lai Junchen stroked his beard and paced back and forth in the study.

"My lord, that's the case, but the Dou family is not easy to provoke." Wang Hongyi said.

Wang Hongyi's mind is still a little clear.

"Now Dou Xiaoguo is a celebrity in His Majesty's eyes. Although the power of the Dou family in the court is not as great as before, it is still the Dou family after all. The identity of the emperor's relatives is still there. After Dou Kui's death, Princess Suian has a bad reputation on weekdays. But when it comes to face, there is still no remarriage. Although Princess Sui'an is not a compatriot with the current Majesty's mother, she is not a descendant of the Queen Mother, but she is also a royal princess, and is His Majesty's younger sister. In addition, Dou Xiaoguo is now the son-in-law of Qi Guogong. , if it involves Dou Xiaoguo, it will inevitably involve the Xuan family."

Lai Junchen nodded silently while listening to Wang Hongyi's analysis.

And it is true.

Can the Duke of Qi not know about the Dou family's involvement in the bank?He investigated the case of Qianzhuang, but after more than half a year, he offended [-]% of the officials in the DPRK, but only the Dou family was involved in the case, but nothing happened in the end. Thinking about it this way, it is inevitable It is suspected that Qi Guogong is doing favoritism.

"Your Majesty sacrificed a leader of the Baiqi Division to protect the Duke of Qi from being attacked by officials in the court. It really took great pains." Lai Junchen sighed and said: "Right now, we still have to avoid Duke Qi's sharpness."

I have to say that Lai Junchen was a little afraid of Xuan Shijing.

But fear is fear, and when it's time to use it, Lai Junchen is not afraid, just like telling Xuan Shijing on Chang'an City Street before the Mid-Autumn Festival that the Zheng family fell into his hands.

"I will investigate the affairs of Dou's family secretly, so you don't have to worry about it. It is enough to do what I have told you." Lai Junchen said.

"It's something." Wang Hongyi responded.

After Wang Hongyi left, Lai Junchen sat down in the study and began to think about the Dou family.

This is considered to be a grip on the Dou family, even the Xuan family's. As for how to use it and when to use it, you have to think carefully about it. This thing can really become his life-saving talisman.

Lai Junchen is still not sure whether Li Chengqian knows about the Dou family's involvement in the case, and Xuan Shijing's concealment. It seems that he has to find an opportunity to try to find out what His Majesty has said.

What Wang Hongyi said, Lai Junchen remembered in his heart. If there is no storm in Chang'an City, he will have no chance to succeed. Only when the water in Chang'an City is muddy will he have a chance to fish in troubled waters. But now, don't worry.

After Fang Yiai left Chang'an City, there were two ministers in charge of the Household Department. Fortunately, the imperial court did not have any big money to spend. Moreover, in the past few years, the officials of the Household Department worked hard without complaint. There was a little error.

As for the matter of the bank, I can't blame the officials of the household department.

Right now, the most ruthless use of money should be the bank. Fang Yiai, as an imperial envoy, went to the local area to inspect the bank and rebuild the bank. He could write a note directly and send it back to Chang'an City when the time came. After Li Chengqian agreed, he sent the note directly to the household department, and the household department directly allocated money and grain.

The imperial decree for Li Jue's marriage has been announced to the world, and Li Jue also got married in the palace. None of them were revealed, so everyone guessed whether it was like the way Concubine Su conferred the title of empress back then, maybe one day His Majesty remembered it, made the decree, and informed the Ministry of Rites to make preparations.

Anyway, Li Jue doesn't have the name of a prince now, but he has the real name of a prince.

Recently, Li Xiang had a very bad life.

After he was named the king of Yue, he was an unofficial official and stayed in Chang'an City. Perhaps Li Chengqian also wanted to imitate his father and let his sons have the same relationship as he had with Wu Wang and Wei Wang back then.

But obviously this was Li Chengqian's idea, Li Xiang didn't have such an idea, nor did he have such a good relationship with Li Jue.

Although they are brothers, they are not so good that they can willingly not fight for the crown prince.

The palace was full of joy because Li Jue got married.

As for the Palace of the Prince of Yue, it was gloomy and gloomy, and it was also because Li Jue got married.

"Your Highness, the current situation is like this, and it is also very unfavorable for us." The subordinate in Li Xiang's palace said.

"This is my natural way!" Li Xiang's tone seemed a little impatient.

The case of a bank has severely damaged his power. Officials who relied on him died, and those who were assigned were assigned. Because of this incident, his status in the eyes of the emperor may not be as good as before. Li Xiang is now What is anxious in my heart is to think of a way to make my father respect me again.

"Staying in Chang'an City now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything. I have been thinking for the past two days whether I should ask my father to go to the fief." Li Xiang said.

"Your Highness, absolutely not." Hearing this, the servants of the palace shook their heads and waved their hands.
