The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 520
On the issue of dealing with the aristocratic family, Xuan Shijing has his own thinking, and this method cannot be told to Cheng Yaojin, because Cheng Yaojin will definitely object. To deal with the aristocratic family and offend the family to the death, this is simply playing with fire .

Early the next morning, Xuan Shijing still did not go to court, and it was a bit evasive, Xuan Shijing didn't want to fight with the censors in the court, because when they really fought, Xuan Shijing found that those censors were sometimes quite unreasonable Yes, like a madman.

If you have nothing to do to argue with a madman, don't you become a madman yourself?

Regarding Xuan Shijing's failure to go to the court, the censors in the court hall slammed Xuan Shijing for a while, which made His Majesty Li Er full of complaints. Fortunately, he also knew that Xuan Shijing would enter the palace after the morning court today. See yourself, otherwise, His Majesty Li Er must send someone to Dongshan Houfu to "invite" Xuan Shijing to this hall.

Even so, His Majesty Li Er planned to beat Xuan Shijing face to face when Xuan Shijing entered the palace to see him.

After morning tea, His Majesty Li Er got up from the dragon chair, straightened up his clothes and went straight to the Ganlu Hall, even skipping the usual procedure of going to the Lizheng Hall to accompany Empress Changsun.

When we arrived at Ganlu Hall, Xuan Shijing was already waiting in the main hall in court clothes.

Xuan Shijing had already entered the palace when the early court began, but he did not go to the Tai Chi Hall to attend the court. The intention of avoiding the censor was obvious enough.

"Your boy came early." As soon as he entered the gate of Ganlu Hall, His Majesty Li Er saw Xuan Shijing waiting in the Ganlu Hall, with a half-smile expression on his face, he walked past Xuan Shijing and walked away. He arrived at the soft couch in front of the desk above the main hall and sat down.

"Xuan Shijing, I have seen Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing stood in the hall and bowed his hands.

"Excuse me, when did you enter the palace?" His Majesty Li Er took a sip of the hot tea that had been prepared on the desk and asked.

"During the early court, the minister came to the Ganlu Hall." Xuan Shijing replied.

"I entered the palace so early, why didn't I go to court?"

"The censor in the court is not very friendly to the ministers, and the ministers have a bad tongue, so they can't talk to them." Xuan Shijing said very seriously.

"Hmph." His Majesty Li Er put down his tea bowl and snorted coldly: "In my opinion, the censors at Yushitai can't compare to one of you when it comes to words."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing responded with a smile.

There was a round of Tai Chi between the monarch and his subjects, and His Majesty Li Er had already held back a lot of words to reprimand Xuan Shijing in his stomach, but after playing Tai Chi like this, he couldn't speak for a while.

"Tell me, what happened in the past two days, my Chang'an City is very lively." His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing with burning eyes.

"Your Majesty refers to..." Xuan Shijing carefully looked at His Majesty Li Er.

"The Jin Yiwei of your Shenhou Mansion has been going back and forth in Chang'an City, and it's been a long time. So far, what have you found?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"I found out that there was a reason why those officials in Changzhou were beaten up in the eastern suburbs." Xuan Shijing said.

"Nonsense! Who will attack the court officials for no reason, but what's wrong with Changzhou?"

Xuan Shijing nodded, and told His Majesty Li Er exactly what happened to Shan Chong in Changzhou, but withdrew Shan Chong's name in the middle, and only said that a merchant offended him in the mall because he had no background People with backgrounds were approached by the government and accused casually of a crime, saying that the merchants would give it to them. The merchants were outraged, so they spent a lot of money to find people to come to Chang'an, and intercepted those officials on their way back. They didn't dare to hurt people's lives. , just want to learn a lesson.

After some explanations, His Majesty Li Er frowned again and again. According to what Xuan Shijing said, those officials in Changzhou really deserved to be taught a lesson. His Majesty Li Er also knew about the collusion between officials and businessmen. There are such things in that state capital, but it is a bit too much to accuse people of crimes indiscriminately.

Three great families may be involved behind this case, and the officials in the area of ​​Changzhou all have their shadows behind them. His Majesty Li Er was wondering if it would be appropriate for a businessman to turn against the three great families in court.

"Did you find out about the businessman?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Found it." Xuan Shijing replied, "I let it go."

With a "bang", His Majesty Li Er slapped the book case with a slap: "Release?"

"Yes, I feel that this matter is not at fault. If it is pursued, those officials in Changzhou will be the first to be involved." Xuan Shijing said.

"How do you plan to settle this case?" His Majesty Li Er calmed down and said.

"Your Majesty, I have already investigated the case clearly. As for how the officials in Changzhou should deal with it, I think it depends on your Majesty." Xuan Shijing conveniently threw this hot potato to Li Er Your Majesty, it can be regarded as advancing by retreating.

"Don't play sloppy with me, I want to hear your opinion."

This is embarrassing...

Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if the minister wants to convict those officials who were beaten in Changzhou, will it cause a storm in the court?"

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Yes, there are shadows of aristocratic families behind these people. If you attack them, it is tantamount to harming the interests of these people. It is inevitable that you will be attacked by them. Why? ? Do you really want to deal with them? You have thought about this case in the eastern suburbs. There are many people involved, and... Chunwei has not yet started. If you deal with it, so many seats will be vacated in Changzhou at once. There are so many people filling the gap."

To put it bluntly, His Majesty Li Er is short of people now, and what he lacks are talents with clean backgrounds, not children from aristocratic families. In that case, it doesn't make much sense whether the officials in Changzhou are abolished or not.

Xuan Shijing, who was standing below, heard what His Majesty Li Er said, and he was convinced. It seems that His Majesty Li Er is also willing to abolish these officials in Changzhou. This may also be a signal that His Majesty Li Er sent to the aristocratic family In the future, the existence of aristocratic families will start to be weakened in the court. Starting from Changzhou, His Majesty Li Er will install officials who really listen to him. The method, the officials in Changzhou have a case, colluding with businessmen to indiscriminately place charges on people, this is considered a taboo, if something happens, no matter how thick-skinned the family officials in the court are, they will not be embarrassed to speak up of.

His Majesty Li Er thought in his heart that if he did this, the one who would be sacrificed would be nothing more than a businessman. Beating the imperial court official violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If Dali Temple made a judgment, he would not lose his life.

After weighing the pros and cons, His Majesty Li Er would not care about the life and death of a businessman. If those aristocratic families wanted to settle accounts after the fall, wouldn't it be another opportunity for His Majesty Li Er to do something.
