The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2187 Unclear Attitude
From that discussion to the accusation brought up by Junchen against Xuan Shijing in the court today, Li Chengqian has to think carefully about whether he can still treat the Xuan family as he did before. son.

From the year of Wude, to the year of Zhenguan, and now, how few times have the imperial court been controlled by the aristocratic family?
Li Chengqian is someone who has experienced it, so he will not create such a powerful "enemy" for the royal family.

Regarding the Xuan family, Li Chengqian also thought that when he was here, the Xuan family would definitely not have any problems. The Xuan family is a "friend" of the royal family and can help the court solve many problems, and Li Chengqian can also control the Xuan family. .

But what about later?What if he's gone?
The Xuan family is a big force in the court, this is a difficult problem for the successor.

It was precisely because of consideration that Li Chengqian asked Xuan Shijing to be the crown prince's tutor and taught the crown prince Li Jue. This was to draw the crown prince and the Xuan family closer.

But now Li Chengqian felt that this method seemed unsafe.

Looking at the brocade box presented by the servant, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes.

Gently opening the brocade box, Li Chengqian saw the memorial in the brocade box, and under the memorial, there were some letters and brochures.

Li Chengqian picked up the memorial in the brocade box, opened it and quickly browsed through it. What was written on the memorial was pretty much the same as what Lai Junchen said just now. The most important thing should be the letters below, right?

I don't know how Junchen got here.

That's right, Baiqisi hasn't come to talk to him for a few days since the Dou family's affairs ended, maybe he didn't find any reason to come to Junchen, or Lai Junchen was very stable, but looking at it now, he But it's not stable at all.

It was Baiqisi's fault that he didn't know about it.

After reading the memorial, Li Chengqian put the memorial back calmly.

"I will carefully consider this matter. As for the matter of Lai Aiqing's impeachment of Duke Qi, I will not bring it up again before I have made up my mind." Li Chengqian said: "It's not that I am partial, and all the Aiqing in the court also look at it." Now, don't worry, everyone, I will give you an explanation on this matter, let's retreat."

"I will send you off to Your Majesty."

The hasty end of today's morning court was due to Lai Junchen's impeachment of Qi Guogong Xuan Shijing, who was thrown into the lake like a huge stone, and the lake that had finally calmed down was once again filled with huge waves.

I just don't know when this huge wave will calm down.

Li Chengqian walked in front, and Lin'an followed behind with the brocade box in his arms. They were silent all the way, and Lin'an didn't dare to speak.

He also didn't expect that someone in the court would jump out to impeach Xuan Shijing, Duke of Qi.

Lin'an still has a good impression of Duke Qi. No matter if he is outside, in the palace, or by His Majesty's side, he has never heard a single bad word about Duke Qi. His Majesty obviously values ​​Duke Qi very much. Otherwise, the bank would be so big. Qi Guogong will not let Qi Guogong have the full power to make decisions on his own.

But now, what will His Majesty think? Will Duke Qi be investigated and dealt with because of Lai Junchen's impeachment?
If even the Duke of Qi was investigated, then who else in this court can fully trust His Majesty?
After the Hanyuan Hall retreated, Di Renjie hurried back to Dali Temple.

Xuan Shijing is his mentor, if he doesn't help at this time, if he doesn't let him know, it will be too unreasonable. Di Renjie himself is not afraid of the shadow, he believes that his mentor is definitely not Lai Junchen. The kind of person, the so-called making friends with nobles in the court, who doesn't have a circle of contacts in the court?Has he come to Junchen yet?If he dared to say no, then what were the officials who delivered things to his house on weekdays doing?

Di Renjie wrote a letter, and instead of sending people from Dali Temple, he sent his own slaves to Zhuangzi, Dongshan County, so that Xuan Shijing would know what happened this morning.

After Cheng Zhijie returned to his mansion, he threw three tea bowls in a row in a fit of anger.

"Master, why are you so angry?" Mrs. Cheng heard the movement in the front hall when she was walking behind, and hurried in to have a look.

"Hmph, today in the court hall, Lai Junchen, that ignorant bastard, played Jing'er." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Isn't it normal for the censor to talk about things in the court? Besides, it's not that Jing'er was impeached by the censor before. When he was young, was he rarely heard by the censor? ? No, it's the same, His Majesty won't take it to heart." Mrs. Cheng said.

"It's different this time. It used to be small troubles. The censor couldn't understand him, so he gave him eye drops in front of His Majesty. It's not a big deal. His Majesty will naturally not care about it. After all, Jing'er is also a hero. , and did so many things for Datang, but this time, that bastard Lai Junchen slandered Jing'er, and everything was a serious crime of copying the family and exterminating the family." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Ah? Such a big crime? What did Jing'er do?" Mrs. Cheng asked.

She was in Chang'an City, and she didn't hear anything about Xuan Shijing. Last year, she investigated a bank case. Although she offended many people, the matter has subsided now. The dignitaries who were offended by him will either die. Either he is exiled, who has the time to avenge him?Besides, didn't His Majesty instruct the matter of the bank?Even if he offends someone in the end, the crime cannot be blamed on Xuan Shijing.

"Lai Junchen impeached him for indiscriminately killing local officials during the Qianzhuang case last year. Didn't something happen to the Dou family a while ago? Lai Junchen also impeached Jing'er to protect the Dou family. Now the Xuan family and the Dou family are related by marriage. If His Majesty really pursues the charges seriously, I'm afraid they will be found guilty, and the other two are more serious, the crime of deceiving the king, forming a party for personal gain, and intending to rebel." Cheng Zhijie said.

"How could this be?" Mrs. Cheng's face became anxious when she heard the words: "Your Majesty should know that Jing'er didn't have that idea at all."

"I can't guess what His Majesty is thinking now." Cheng Zhijie said, "Perhaps, this old man is really old."

His Majesty must be clear in his heart, but today in the morning court, he did not express his attitude, but put this matter aside first, that is to say, His Majesty did not think about how to deal with this matter, nor It is impossible to say that Xuan Shijing is completely innocent.

So what exactly does His Majesty want to do?

"I'm going to send someone to go to Zhuangzi now, at least give him a breath first." Cheng Yaojin said: "In addition, from today on, it is said that the old man is ill, seriously ill, unable to go to court, and the house is closed , If you don’t see guests, it’s the same with anyone who comes.”

Madam Cheng nodded.
