The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 526 His Majesty Li Er is preparing

"Investment bank certificate?" Li Tai was surprised: "He wants to be an official?"

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "No, it can be seen from his name that his father probably wanted him to join the army since he was a child, and the time is not waiting. He wants to find a way in the Shenhou Mansion. He is also a hit, so I am going to help him, but now I have thought of a way."

"What?" Li Tai asked, Xuan Shijing's words were a bit rambling.

"It's between Marshal Zhao and the Household Department." Xuan Shijing laughed and said, "Now that the state treasury is like this, why do the officials from the Household Department run to your Wei Palace all day? It's because they are guilty and afraid. Although the state treasury They didn’t take any of the money from the government, but years ago, the unrestrained spending left the national treasury empty, and they couldn’t escape the charge of mismanagement. What the household department lacks most now is money, which can replenish the treasury.”

"Then what?" Li Tai said: "You want Marshal Zhao to pay for the people in the household department? If that's the case, wouldn't everything my father did before be in vain?"

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "No, a Marshal Zhao, even including his entire Zhao family, compared to the lack of money and food in the national treasury, that's only a lot. I want Marshal Zhao to pay some money, it's just for the Ministry of Households. It set a precedent." Xuan Shijing said.

"This matter is absolutely impossible, Xiaojing. If you want to help Marshal Zhao get rid of his business status, you can do it alone for you. The Ministry of Households must not make this case. This time they may just be involved in it." But what about the next time? What about the next time? In the end, what if these accounts are settled on the people’s heads?” Li Tai rejected Xuan Shijing’s proposal: “Besides, the father is now It is estimated that the national treasury is empty, if you give this idea to the household department, wouldn't it be a waste of your father's efforts?"

"They still don't dare to attack the people of Chang'an City, because if they do so, the first ones who will be unlucky are not the people, but them. Also, what His Majesty wants is not to empty the treasury, but to do something in the future Time, the compromise of the aristocratic family." Xuan Shijing said.

"The family's compromise? What does the emperor want to do? Is it possible?" Li Tai's eyes widened, and then he swallowed, as if thinking of something.

Xuan Shijing nodded, and then said aloud: "After the war, the world is peaceful in the Tang Dynasty, and the border of Hanzhou in the southwest has also calmed down. After the marriage between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, at least stay on the plateau for ten years honestly." In a few years or a few decades, maybe the Tubo will send troops to help, as the Tang Bingfeng pointed out."

"What about the target?" Li Tai asked.

Around the Tang Dynasty, all barbarians are settled, even Xue Yantuo is about to be pacified by Hou Junji, and the news of the army's first battle victory has already spread to Chang'an.

"Gaoguryeo." Xuan Shijing squinted his eyes and said: "Your Highness knows that the domestic situation in Goguryeo is complicated and can be said to be turbulent. This Gao Jianwu and Quan Gai Suwen are fighting each other to the death. For Datang, It is an opportunity, His Majesty is so wise, he will never let this opportunity go."

Li Tai frowned, listening to Xuan Shijing's words, if this is the case, all this can really be explained
I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because it is in this mountain, Li Tai is not not smart enough, but because as a child of the royal family, he is in the situation in Chang'an City, and Xuan Shijing, because he has no plans and no desires, so Compared with others, people who are more open-minded and broad-minded will naturally see more things.

All kinds of His Majesty Li Er's performances a few years ago, including Xuan Shijing's painting boat on Xuanwu Lake and Princess Jinyang suffered an indiscriminate disaster. Although the culprit behind it was not Gao Jianwu, it was also because of internal reasons in Goguryeo. Shijing desperately protected each other, and finally Qin Bingyue made a move, and Quangai Suwen's plan really succeeded. Gao Huanquan died in Datang, and there was an enmity between Goguryeo and Datang. Although it was not good for Goguryeo, but For Quan Gai Suwen, this is a huge opportunity.

Whether it was because of the hatred between the Great Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo before, or the resentment of the Guanzhong children towards Goguryeo, or because Jinyang almost died in the hands of Goguryeo assassins in Chang'an City, these are enough to make His Majesty Li Er determined to fight with Goguryeo. Battle of Goguryeo.

Once there is a war, people will die.

Xuan Shijing felt a little sad when he thought of this, it doesn't matter how many Goguryeo people died, even if the family was exterminated, Xuan Shijing would not feel compassion, but Xuan Shijing felt sorry for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Now His Majesty Li Er is secretly planning to empty the treasury. When he is about to send troops in the future, if he encounters opposition from the officials in the court, His Majesty Li Er may use the financial resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The power of rhetoric has also been weakened by seven points.

The reason why the war was stopped was nothing more than laboring the people and wasting money, but the money is not used by the treasury and allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Household Affairs; besides laboring the people, I am afraid that under the order of Li Er Majesty, the children of Guanzhong are scrambling for it. I want to avenge the shame of my ancestors. Although the landscape has been destroyed, it is always a shame. It is a thorn in the heart of the soldiers in Guanzhong. Only by defeating the enemy and seizing the city, and stabilizing Liaodong to compete with Goguryeo, can this shame be washed away.

"Do you think the ministers in the DPRK will notice some signs of this?" Li Tai said in a low voice.

"There must be someone who knows His Majesty's thoughts, but they would never think that His Majesty is already making preparations. Your Highness, who else has read these account books of the Ministry of Accounts?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"No, the accounting books of the Ministry of Accounting are all here from last year to the present. Even if the officials of the Ministry of Accounting have read it, it is only one or two of them. The rest, after a long time, they will even read it. I can’t remember either.” Li Tai said.

"That's good. From my point of view, these books should be placed in His Royal Highness's house for the time being. If the household department comes to ask for them, find an excuse to prevaricate them. Now the matter is just the two of us in this study. Before it is a foregone conclusion , be careful."

Li Tai nodded.

Before Xuan Shijing left, Marshal Zhao's complaint was left on Li Tai's desk. Since Li Tai disagreed with Xuan Shijing's method, then this matter can only be entrusted to Li Tai.

Walking out of Prince Wei's mansion, Xuan Shijing looked up at the blue sky of Chang'an City, and vaguely remembered that there was a battle between Tang and Goguryeo, and that battle was fought by His Majesty Li Er himself.

Because I knew it, when I heard Li Tai say the treasury of the Ministry of Finance and His Majesty Li Er's intentions, Xuan Shijing boldly guessed that His Majesty Li Er wanted to attack Goguryeo, and secretly ordered Li Tai, It's also good for Li Tai to have a bottom line in his heart.
