The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 77 Test
"The two of us are the same, what can Shijing do as a child." Li Chengqian smiled wryly.

"But I think Shijing's shopkeeper called Qiandui is a great talent." Li Tai said, although the distinction between scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen is now clear, but Li Tai has never looked down on businessmen. Businessmen have nothing but money. Well, what the country uses for disaster relief in wars is nothing more than money. Although he and a group of craftsmen made the new paper, it is the pile of money that can get the money back in the end.

It's just that Li Tai didn't know that it was Xuan Shijing's idea that Qiandui could get back so much money.

"Money pile?" Li Chengqian heard that this name is auspicious for doing business, no matter what, since Li Tai said it, it's okay to try it yourself.

Li Tai picked up the half-eaten apple on the table and continued to eat: "By the way, just after I entered your East Palace, I found that the atmosphere was a little strange. They are all trembling."

Li Chengqian pulled a blank piece of paper and began to write a letter to Xuan Shijing, writing while saying: "It seems that someone has sneaked into the East Palace. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of all the eunuchs and maids in the East Palace, including servants and others. I heard that yesterday In the morning, someone pretended to be in my name and tried to trick Shijing away on the way, but he knew that there were not many people we were going to meet with Shijing that day, and the other party knew about it, so it must be that someone was placed on my side." Li Chengqian's expression Indifferently, he, who was born in the royal family, has long been familiar with these things.

"Then why didn't the Hall of Martial Virtue be thoroughly investigated?" Li Tai asked.

"You were not in the palace that day, and you didn't come back until the afternoon to find out." At this point, Li Chengqian was taken aback, and looked up at Li Tai: "Since Shijing sent a letter to me, he must also send someone I went to Zhuangzi to find you."

"You mean that it is possible that someone sent to Zhuangzi to find me accidentally leaked the news to someone?" Li Tai reacted: "There is no way to verify this, after all, from Xuanweihoufu to Zhuangzi It’s hard to check whether the road is far or close, or not.”

"Forget it, since my father sent people to investigate, there will always be results. After all, it is not a trivial matter to kidnap Xungui in the street in the name of the East Palace. If this matter is left alone, no results can be found, let alone Shijing's side. It's hard to explain, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can't get through." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"What does this have to do with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?" Li Tai asked.

"Think about it, a Marquis, walking on the road, was almost tied up, the first time there was a second time, the first time it didn't work, the second time, this time it was Xuan Weihou, the next time it will be Which honorable person, high and low in the court, which minister has never offended a few people in his life, if this matter is left alone, who will dare to go to the streets in the future, just live in fear every day, those old foxes in the court , but one is better than the other." Li Chengqian wrote a letter with his head down, responding to Li Tai.

"It's true, to put it bluntly, the person who wanted to be unfavorable to Shi Jing this time touched the nerves of the senior official An Xungui." Li Tai sighed, and gnawed the last bite of the pulp, leaving the core on the plate.

Li Chengqian picked up the finished letter, blew two breaths on the letter paper, and shook it twice. After drying the ink, he put it in an envelope and handed it to Li Tai.

"You send a reliable person to Shijing's mansion. Now my East Palace is not peaceful, and I don't dare to move people easily." Li Chengqian said.

Li Tai took the envelope, put it in his arms, and replied, "Sure, but you have to promise me something."

"What's the matter? Let's hear it." Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai curiously. His fourth brother still has a day to ask for help?
"The construction of the Nuan Pavilion in the palace must be approved by the emperor, and you can handle it." Li Tai took the opportunity to throw the hot potato to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled wryly: "Okay, okay, I'll go, anyway, it's not always a matter of time, but the most important thing right now is to help Father Huang deal with Jiangling's affairs first."

In the Lizheng Hall, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun were sitting on a soft couch. On the soft couch table was a bowl of freshly boiled bird's nest, and another bowl made of wild mushrooms sent by Concubine Yin tonic.

Empress Changsun picked up the bowl of tonic and drank it lightly.

"Guanyin maidservant, you said that I entrusted Chengqian with the affairs of Jiangling, can he find a way to handle it well?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Empress Changsun with a smile.

"Chengqian is your son. His majesty knows how much he has. The concubine would like to ask your majesty. Does your majesty have a complete plan for Jiangling?" Empress Changsun asked back.

Li Er smiled wryly and shook his head: "So far, there is no good solution. In fact, I am a little embarrassed to hand over this matter to Chengqian. I am also a bit out of touch. I want to see what these children can come up with."

"These?" Empress Changsun was surprised.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "That's right." Then he let out a long breath: "Do you think Cheng Qian will hold back by himself? Cheng Qian and Qing Que have a good relationship recently and are about to live together. Que runs to the East Palace every day, and Chengqian will discuss this matter with Qing Que, and Qing Que will definitely pull Jing'er along."

Empress Changsun smiled: "Your Majesty understands it well. Your Majesty just said that there is no good policy, but there must be a solution to this matter. I pushed the matter to Chengqian. I just wanted to test Chengqian. The concubine guessed That's right."

"The one who knows me is Guanyin's maidservant." Li Er stroked his beard and laughed.

"Chengqian is the crown prince, so it's right to share your majesty's worries. It's not a test, but I just hope they don't disappoint your majesty." Empress Changsun said.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "I know this. Speaking of which, Avalokitesvara, what do you think about Jiangling?"

Empress Changsun smiled: "Your Majesty, this is a political matter. A concubine is a woman. What can I do? To put it bluntly, Jiangling was hit by a disaster. Just send people to help the disaster. Isn't it like this in usual times?"

Li Er smiled and shook his head: "Guanyin maidservant, don't be perfunctory to me, you know, just say it, I want to hear it."

"Do you really want my concubine to tell me?" Empress Changsun looked at Li Er.

Li Er nodded.

"If it is according to my concubine's opinion, Your Majesty can send plainclothes officials to Jiangling as soon as possible. If someone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, then let them make trouble. Let's just watch in the dark."

"The Guanyin maidservant means to take this opportunity to find out the old Ministry of Xiao Xian who is entrenched in Jiangling." His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of it, he was only thinking about how to get money out of the disaster relief while he was locked in the palace, In fact, it is entirely possible to take this opportunity to bring out some of Xiao Mian's old works, as expected, a wise man is sure to miss something.

Even if Empress Changsun did not bring up this matter, a minister would bring it up tomorrow when he goes to court. However, His Majesty Li Er was much more excited to hear this plan from Empress Changsun than from ministers.
