Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Trial

"We are both in a rut, what can Shijing do as a child." Li Chengqian smiled bitterly.

"But I see that the shopkeeper called the money pile under Shi Jing's hand is a great talent." Li Tai said, although it is said that the division between the corporal and the agricultural industry and commerce is clear, but Li Tai has never looked down on the businessman, the businessman has nothing else, that is, money, what the country uses for war and disaster relief is nothing more than money, although he and a group of craftsmen made the new paper, but in the end can get the money back, it is still the pile of money.

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

"Pile of money?" When Li Chengqian heard it, this name is auspicious to do business, no matter what, since Li Tai said it, it's nothing to try it yourself.

Li Tai picked up the half-eaten apple on the desk and continued to eat: "By the way, as soon as I entered your East Palace, I found that something was wrong with the atmosphere, what's the matter, why are all the eunuchs and palace maids here trembling." ”

Li Chengqian pulled a blank piece of paper and began to write a letter to Xuan Shijing, and said while writing: "It seems that someone has been mixed in the East Palace, and my father ordered a thorough investigation of all the eunuchs and palace maids in the East Palace, including servants and others. Li Chengqian's expression was indifferent, he was born in the royal family, and he was already surprised by these things.

"Then why didn't you thoroughly investigate the Wude Palace?" Li Tai asked.

"You weren't in the palace that day, and you didn't come back until the afternoon to know at this time" Speaking of this, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Li Tai: "Since Shijing sent me a letter here, I must have sent someone to Zhuangzi to find you." ”

"Are you saying that it is possible that someone sent to Zhuangzi to find me accidentally leaked the news to someone when it was delivered?" Li Tai reacted: "There is no way to verify this, after all, from the Xuanwei Hou Mansion to Zhuangzi, the road is not far, and it is not close, so it is difficult to verify." ”

"That's it, since my father sent someone to investigate, there will always be a result, after all, it is not a trivial matter to kidnap Xungui on the street in the name of the East Palace, if this matter is left unchecked, the results will not be found, not to mention that Shijing's side is not easy to explain, even the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can't get by." 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.

"Do you think, a marquis, walking on the road, almost tied up, there is a first time, there is a second time, the first time was unsuccessful, the second time, this time it is Xuanwei Hou, the next time it will be which noble, up and down the court, which minister has not offended a few people in his life, if this matter is left unresolved, who will dare to go to the street in the future, and live in fear day by day, those old foxes in the court, but one is better than the other." Li Chengqian lowered his head and wrote a letter, responding to Li Tai.

"That's right, to put it bluntly, the person who wants to be unfavorable to Shijing this time has touched the nerves of the noble officials of Chang'an." Li Tai sighed, nibbled off the last bite of the pulp, and left the pit still on the plate.

Li Chengqian picked up the finished letter, blew on the letter twice, shook it twice, dried the ink, put it in an envelope and handed it to Li Tai.

"You send a reliable person to the Shijing Mansion, now my East Palace is not peaceful, and I don't dare to transfer manpower or anything easily." Li Chengqian said.

Li Tai took the envelope, put it in his arms, and replied, "Cheng, 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 someone to do something?

"The construction of a warm pavilion in the palace must be approved by your father, and you can do it." Li Tai took the opportunity to throw this hot potato to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, I'll go, anyway, it's not a matter of time or time, but the most important thing at the moment is to help my father deal with the affairs of Jiangling first." ”

In the Lizheng Palace, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun sat on a soft couch, and on the table of the soft couch was a bowl of freshly cooked bird's nest, and a bowl was a tonic made of wild mushrooms sent by Concubine Yin.

Empress Eldest Sun picked up the bowl of tonic and drank it all.

"Guanyin, you said that I handed over the affairs of Jiangling to Cheng Qian, can he come up with a way to handle it well." His Majesty Li Er looked at Empress Changsun with a smile.

"Cheng Qian is your son, how many catties and taels he has, Your Majesty is clear, but the concubine wants to ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a complete strategy for the matter of Jiangling?" Empress Eldest Sun asked rhetorically.

Li Er smiled bitterly and shook his head: "So far, there is no best strategy, in fact, I am a little embarrassed to hand over this matter to Cheng Qian, and I am also a little out of line, I want to see what these children can come up with." ”

"These?" Empress Eldest Sun was surprised.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "That's right." Then he exhaled a long breath: "Do you think Cheng Qian will hold it by himself?" Cheng Qian and Qingque have a good relationship recently and are about to live together, I don't see Qingque running to the East Palace every day, Cheng Qian will definitely discuss this matter with Qingque, and Qingque will definitely pull Jing'er. ”

Empress Shi Ran smiled: "Your Majesty understands it, Your Majesty just said that there is no best policy, but on this matter, there must be a solution, and the matter must be pushed to Cheng Qian, just to test Cheng Qian, the concubine guessed right." ”

"Those who know me, Guanyin is also." Li Er stroked his beard and laughed.

"Cheng Qian is the crown prince, and it is also appropriate to share the worries of His Majesty, it is not a test, I just hope that they will not disappoint Your Majesty." Empress Eldest Sun said.

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "I know this, then again, Guanyin, what do you think about the Jiangling matter?" ”

Empress Changsun smiled: "Your Majesty, this is a political matter, a concubine and a woman, what can you see, to put it bluntly, Jiangling suffered a disaster, just send someone to relieve the disaster, isn't it always like this." ”

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

"Do you really want the concubine to say?" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Er.

Li Er nodded.

"If it is according to the opinion of the concubines, His Majesty can quickly send officials in plain clothes to Jiangling, if someone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, then let them make trouble, let's watch it in secret."

"Guanyin's meaning is to take this opportunity to find out the old department of Xiao Milling entrenched in Jiangling." His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of it, he only cared about how to move out the money to relieve the disaster when he was locked in the palace, in fact, he could take this opportunity to take out some of Xiao Miao's old departments, and sure enough, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts.

Even if this matter is not raised by Empress Changsun, there will be ministers who will raise it when they go to court tomorrow, but His Majesty Li Er is much more excited when he hears this strategy from Empress Changsun's mouth than when he hears it from the minister's mouth.
