The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 992 Another Three Years in a Hurry

"The subordinates also feel that the matter of Wu Cairen should not be rushed for a while. His Highness is right to worry, so this matter can only be taken slowly, just like how His Majesty dealt with Hou Junji. If it is delayed for a long time, naturally no one will continue to deal with it. I'm thinking about it." Zhang Xingcheng said: "How did this martial artist murder the prince, how did he find out? He also let His Majesty obtain evidence."

"Because of a murder case in Zhang's family in Chang'an." Li Zhi said.

Zhang Xingcheng nodded, he knew about the Zhang family's murder case, and there was an uproar in Chang'an, and the Chang'an mansion even made a joke because of the portrait of the young master of the Zhang family.

"In this way, if you want to achieve great things, Your Highness, this Shenhou Mansion cannot be kept." Zhang Xingcheng said.

Zhang Xingcheng was startled by the efficiency of Shenhou Mansion's investigation.

Where did the Shenhou Mansion get so much news?If this is the case, there must be some special channel, which is very bad for the Minzhou side. If the Shenhou Mansion's news channels are really so wide, then the Minzhou side can't hide everything from the court?

"But." Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, Zhang Xingcheng was right, if the matter in Minzhou was not covered up in front of the Shenhou Mansion, how could he succeed in the future?

"Master Zhang, the Shenhou Mansion was bestowed upon the Marquis of Dongshan under the decree of the Emperor himself, how can we remove it?" Li Zhi asked.

"No matter how favored this Marquis of Dongshan is, he is not a child of the royal family after all. With such a yamen in his hand, if there is anything abnormal, His Majesty will definitely become suspicious. So, as long as His Majesty is suspicious of the Shenhou Mansion, it will be fine." Zhang Xingcheng He responded: "It would be even better if His Majesty could be made to feel that the Shenhou Mansion is suspected of treason. In this way, not only can the Shenhou Mansion be pulled out, but the crown prince might also be implicated, killing two birds with one stone."

Li Zhi nodded, that's true, Dongshanhou is close to the prince, if Dongshanhou rebels, the prince will suffer the most.

However, Sizi and Xuan Shijing are so close that they are talking about marriage. If they harm the Shenhou Mansion, even Sizi will be implicated, right?

Zhang Xingcheng stood there and saw Li Zhi in a daze, so he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Li Zhi.

"What is your highness thinking?"

"Oh." Li Zhi came back to his senses: "I'm just thinking, the lonely imperial sister, Princess Jinyang, has reached the point of discussing marriage with that Marquis of Dongshan, if he gets implicated because of Marquis Dongshan, I can't bear it. "

"Your Highness, those who achieve great things don't care about small things." Zhang Xingcheng persuaded: "Besides, it is well known that Your Majesty loves Princess Jinyang. Even if something happens to the Marquis of Dongshan, Princess Jinyang will not be implicated. Princess Yang, moreover, the relationship between Princess Jinyang and Marquis Dongshan is nothing more than a word from His Majesty, and now the two have not even settled on their marriage."

Thinking about it, the worst result is that Jinyang is sad for a while, and naturally there will be no problem after a long time, and, after it is done, he can use other things to make up for Jinyang.

"Then what should we do now?" Li Zhi asked.

"As usual, Your Highness can focus on the arable land of the people in Minzhou, and reclaim more wasteland. If you want to raise more soldiers, Minzhou must first be self-sufficient. After a long time, when you have money and food, find a way to instigate The battle between Tuyuhun and Minzhou does not need to be too loud, it just needs to let Changan know." Zhang Xingcheng said: "This is to allow Minzhou to garrison troops in a legitimate way, and to find a suitable opportunity afterwards to put this disaster to rest. Leading to the Shenhou Mansion, for example, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, isn’t he Dongshanhou’s family has a big business, and the caravans are all over the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Zhi nodded and agreed with Zhang Xingcheng's words.

"In addition to these, if we find that the caravan from Dongshan Hou's Mansion is going to Tuyuhun via Minzhou, we can intercept it. The caravan from the Hou's Mansion is very rich." Zhang Xingcheng's eyes flashed when he mentioned the caravan. A trace of greed, if you really do this, if you get a few votes, the government office in Minzhou will be released.

Generally, the caravans returning to Datang from the countries of the Western Regions carried priceless goods.

Datang is developing, Minzhou is developing, and Dongshan County is developing even faster.
In the blink of an eye, it is three years. During the three years, there was no incident in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. During the three years, a big exam was held again. After the results of the big exam came out, many people thought of it. The leader of the palace examination, Zheng An.

At this time, Zheng An had been dispatched by Li Chengqian to the East Palace to assist Li Chengqian. He worked in Menxiafang, which was regarded as a position of real power in the East Palace. After all, Menxiafang was in the East Palace, just like Menxia Province was in the imperial court.

In the 19th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The projects on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County have been completed, and on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xuan Shijing will meet those "qualified" businessmen in Xuanwu Building.

The qualification is nothing more than to see who has the most money. After all, the purpose of doing this in Dongshan County is to make money.

But this matter is still a small matter for the Hou family. What is important in the eyes of the people of the Hou family is how to spend this Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chinese and Chinese military officials had a day to rest and take a bath. Of course, it didn’t matter to Xuan Shijing whether he was there or not. Anyway, Xuan Shijing is lazy on weekdays, unless there is something important Otherwise, no one can be seen in the court.

In the past three years, Xuan Shijing had communicated several letters with Xue Rengui who was in Liaodong. Xue Rengui told Xuan Shijing in his heart that although all the developments in Liaodong were slow, they were under his control. Gao Huanquan of the city, occupying Anshi City, is also silently licking his wounds, preparing to compete with Quangai Suwen for Goguryeo.

This Gao Huanquan man is a little stupid, but he is not so stupid that he is hopelessly stupid. If he had gone to Anshi City and gathered Yang Wanchun's forces, he would immediately start a war with Quangai Suwen, then Xuan Shijing would really think that he is stupid and useless. There is a cure.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also a relatively important festival for the farmers on Zhuangzi. Although the whole family does not leave Zhuangzi very far on weekdays, it is a traditional festival after all. In the first two days, the atmosphere is even more intense.

Every household is preparing to make moon cakes. Speaking of which, these moon cakes were originally eaten in the palace, and only those high-ranking officials and nobles could eat them. They were not called moon cakes before, but palace cakes. But in the past two years, Xuan Shijing When Zhuangzi celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, he brought a lot of maids and servants together to make a lot of mooncakes, asked a carpenter to carve molds, printed some four-character auspicious words on the mooncakes, and distributed them to the farmers. The habit of eating moon cakes spread in Dongshan County.
