The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 386

Xuan Shijing followed Deyi and walked towards the palace of Ganlu, while Shi Hu and Gao Jun drove the carriage and stopped at a secluded place. If they went directly to the stables in the palace, they would inevitably wait for their Lord Marquis to come out When they couldn't see the two in time, the two simply waited obediently in the corner that they could glance at as soon as they went out of the Ganlu Hall.

After entering the Ganlu Hall, His Majesty Li Er was flipping through some books, and Deyi, after sending Xuan Shijing into the Ganlu Hall, retreated, closed the gate of the Ganlu Hall, and then took the eunuch and maid Those who walked waited on the side outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, my minister." Xuan Shijing walked to the center of the hall and bowed his hands in salute.

"No." His Majesty Li Er put down the scroll in his hand, looked up at Xuan Shijing and said, "You must have guessed in your heart why I came here for you, right?"

"But for the sake of the minister's establishment of the mansion?" Xuan Shijing asked.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "That's right."

"Your Majesty has the courage to do so. I don't know why Your Majesty made such a decree. You must know the right to open the government."

"Apart from Qingque, only the princes who have married and married princesses can have it?" His Majesty Li Er said with a smile.

Xuan Shijing nodded awkwardly.

"That's right, neither the Tang Dynasty nor any royal family in the past would easily give a courtier the right to open a mansion. That's because the emperors are afraid, but I am not. From the palm of my hand, I still know about the little waves you made in Chang'an City." His Majesty Li Er said: "So I gave you this right. First, I feel guilty for your father. Second, I I really want to entrust you with some things. Those people under your hands, if they want to use them, they will use them openly. They always hide it. It may not be a good thing. Is it possible that you will always rely on it in the future? Can those people under your command go to someone else’s house to steal the account book and handle the case?”

It turned out that His Majesty Li Er knew all these things, and Xuan Shijing couldn't help sweating for himself.

"Don't be nervous, if I can't even control the city of Chang'an, I won't be able to be in this position." His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "I gave you the right to open the mansion, and I also want you to help the gang under you. Rectify your name, Jing'er, since you returned to Chang'an, the two cases you have handled have been very successful, but the methods have lost the kingly way. Small troubles are okay, but it is difficult to be elegant. I hope that you will be in the seat in the future. Will be higher, and won't ruin your reputation because of these little tricks, do you understand?"

"Your Majesty understands, thank you for your advice." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty also said just now that your Majesty is opening a mansion. Your Majesty still has matters to be handed over to you. I don't know about this matter."

"It's still about King Jing. I have already told Wuji and Li Ji about it. Once there is a change in Jingzhou in the next year, the assistant will take care of those old officials from the Wude years and those court officials in Chang'an for me. As for the courtiers that King Jing has a close relationship with, Li Ji will go to the south and recruit soldiers at any time just in case, and you, arrange the people under your command as soon as possible, the sooner the better, after the matter of King Jing is over , The mansion you opened belongs to Dali Temple, and you will take care of it yourself." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Yes, I thank Your Majesty for your grace." His Majesty Li Er's words gave Xuan Shijing enough freedom after opening the mansion, saying that it belonged to Dali Temple, but in fact Xuan Shijing's "Shenhou Mansion" , even Dai Zhou is not allowed to intervene.

Dai Zhou can restrain Xuan Shijing, but he can't control the people under him. However, since Xuan Shijing took the post of Dali Temple Shaoqing, how has Dai Zhou really managed Xuan Shijing, except Lushan Academy? Except for his case, Xuan Shijing was never approached again. Maybe Dai Zhou himself felt that Dongshan Hou should be disciplined by His Majesty, and he himself would not interfere.

This is even cheaper for Xuan Shijing.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, since Your Majesty has arranged for the eldest grandson to stay in Chang'an and the British Duke to go to Jiangnan, what will I do?"

"I hope that King Jing's rebellion can be controlled to a minimum. Therefore, I want you to go to Jingzhou with your people after the Shangyuan Festival. Now the people in your house have sent the evidence There is no lack of evidence to send it to Chang'an in [-] miles, so after you arrive in Jingzhou, if the king of Jing makes any movement, I will allow you to do it cheaply." His Majesty Li Er said.

After listening to the words of His Majesty Li Er, Xuan Shijing understood that this is to capture the thief first and capture the king first. Once there is a sign on Li Yuanjing's side, Xuan Shijing can immediately lead people to capture all the "traitors" in King Jing's mansion. I will be escorted back to Chang'an, so that a catastrophe of rebellion will be invisible, and there will be no need to waste people and money, and there will be no need for hand-to-hand combat.

This is also an opportunity for Xuan Shijing. No matter how hard you try to cover up such a big event, it is impossible to cover it up tightly. The courtiers will know that it is a credit for Xuan Shijing to handle this matter well. Then Xuan Shijing The "mansion" opened can also gain a firm foothold in Chang'an City.

After Xuan Shijing decided to go back, he immediately started to act.

"Your Majesty, the servant's mansion. Will your Majesty reward you with the house, or let the officials make overall arrangements for the division?" Xuan Shijing looked at His Majesty Li Er and asked.

"Your own person, you can find the house by yourself, so I won't restrict you. However, you must have a famous place to start a mansion. Have you figured it out?" His Majesty Li Er asked with a smile.

"I think about it. When the court receives your majesty's will, I will start thinking about it. I am not afraid of your majesty's jokes. When I receive your majesty's will, I am mostly surprised, and there is a little bit of excitement. .”

"What are you excited about? Let's hear it." His Majesty Li Er asked with great interest.

"In the future, if you investigate cases, you don't need to borrow a place from Mr. Dai. Years ago, during the interrogation of prisoners, the minister arrived at Dali Temple. It was midnight and had to be cleaned. This is a part of the minister's life. It's a big shadow." Xuan Shijing said, now thinking of the original appearance of the prison in Dali Temple, he still feels guilty for a while.

"Dali Temple has handled cases in recent years, and there are very few torturers, so it is not surprising that the prison is deserted. Throughout the Zhenguan period, there were only a few prisoners who were sentenced to death every year." Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er's face appeared. With a trace of complacency: "Forget it, I think that you are still young, so it's better to let Dai Zhou take care of you. Isn't there a house next to Dali Temple? My Ministry of Internal Affairs paid for it and gave it to you. Two days ago You also entered the palace to give gifts to me and the queen, and this will be my annual gift to you." With a wave of His Majesty Li Er's hand, a large mansion came into Xuan Shijing's hands.

Xuan Shijing has seen that house before, after all, he has also been in and out of Dali Temple, and he took a few glances when passing by.
