Chapter Forty-Eight: Pushing Hands

Xuan Shijing still has to control the affairs of the Jinyang Foundation in Xuanwu, Sun Simiao didn't stay in Xuanwu for long, chatted with Xuan Shijing for a while and then went back to the Qianjin Medical Center, he also needs to sort out some medicinal materials in the medical hall, so that he can bring them with him when he goes on the road.

Xuan Shijing returned to the fifth floor, Jin Yang was still sleeping sweetly, Xuan Shijing sat alone on the chair of the guest, and began to think about the price increase of medicinal materials that Shi Hu said.

Early this morning, Xuan Shijing sent people to various pharmacies in Chang'an City to start buying medicinal materials for the treatment of frostbite, but not long after, those medicinal material merchants learned the news and began to increase their prices, which was inevitably too fast

In Sikong Mansion, under the leadership of the housekeeper, the eldest grandson Chong went to the eldest grandson Wuji's study, pushed open the door, and walked in.

"Dad, you're looking for me." The eldest grandson reflexively closed the door of the study.

"Well, what's wrong with what you're told to do?" The eldest grandson Wuji sat on the couch in front of the bookcase, raised his head and landed the wooden fruit on the eldest grandson Chong.

"I have already arranged for someone to do what you ordered, and now those merchants in Chang'an City are estimated to have already begun to act." Eldest Sun Chong replied.

"Not bad" The eldest grandson Wuji stood up, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Xuan Shijing thinks that with the East Palace and the Literature Museum alone, Liaodong can be leveled?" It's too arrogant. ”

"Dad, if you don't tell the children to tell those medicinal herb merchants to raise prices, I'm afraid that Dongshan Hou will already succeed in this matter, so why are you?"

"Chong'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is his father's own nephew, at this time, he should understand who he should count on." Eldest Sun Wuji squinted his eyes and said, for Li Chengqian's actions this time, Eldest Sun Wuji didn't get the slightest rumor, these young people's actions were too fast, so fast that they didn't have time to react.

"Father, do you mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now alienating you and approaching the Marquis of Dongshan?" After the eldest grandson Chong finished speaking, he smiled and said again: "The child thinks that there is no need to worry about father, you followed Your Majesty to the east and west in the early years, and you are already Your Majesty's right-hand man, father, you are also powerful in the court now, so what does Dongshan Marquis have?" It's just that His Majesty has been favored since childhood and has gotten closer to His Royal Highness the Prince, and in the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince relies on the most, isn't it? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head: "Chong'er, you are wrong, being a father is not for yourself, but for the sake of Zhang Sun's family and for you." ”

"For me?" The eldest grandson was puzzled.

"Chong'er, the future Zhang Sun family must be yours, although you are now married to Princess Changle and made a concubine, but you have no merits, and the relationship between you and the prince is not very close, if the prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, think about it, what capital can you have to let the Zhang Sun family continue to be prosperous." The eldest grandson Wuji said without hesitation: "No, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks at Princess Changle's face and protects you for a lifetime, but, without the previous assistance, he will entrust you with important tasks?" Chong'er, no family can endure, this is clear to the father, but the eldest grandson's family, at least when the father is still there, will pave the road for you, and in the future, you will walk more smoothly. ”

Li Chengqian, as the nephew of the eldest grandson Wuji, when there is no Xuan Shijing, no matter what he asks, he will ask him, this time Li Chengqian's unauthorized decisions and actions made the eldest grandson Wuji feel the crisis, so he will unscrupulously let the eldest grandson Chong contact the medicinal material merchants in Chang'an City, and sit on the ground to raise the price, so that Li Chengqian can understand that at the critical time, whether it is an outsider who can be relied on, or his own uncle can be relied on.

As for his actions, will it make Xuan Shijing guess that there is someone behind him, but the eldest grandson Wuji has no time to think about it, he reacted in such a short period of time, and created some trouble for Li Chengqian, it is already the limit, and it is too late to think about a more thoughtful and meticulous plan.

However, the mention of Changsun Wuji made Changsun Chong think of this aspect.

"Father, we acted too quickly this time, and we must have made a lot of mistakes, what if Dongshan Hou suspects that there are instructions behind those pharmacists?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"Xuan Shijing's child, for a while, I'm afraid I can't imagine that it was my father who leaked the news to these pharmacists, even if he suspects, there is no evidence, it is just a suspicion, the news of his purchase of medicinal materials in Chang'an City spreads, those pharmacists will definitely sell at a price, and my father just gave the news to those pharmacists in advance." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "For my father, I want to see if this time, what can Xuan Shijing do to help those medicinal herb merchants, in the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to rely on, not the ministers in the court, and those officials in the East Palace, some of whom may be able to do their best to help the prince, those young people, are just following the fun." ”

"Father, the child has listened to your teachings since he was a child, you said, don't underestimate anyone, why are you to the subordinate officials of the East Palace" What Changsun Chong didn't say was, why did the eldest grandson Wuji disdain those young subordinate officials of the East Palace so much?

"Chong'er, how to look at a person, or a group of people, first you have to understand those people" Eldest Sun Wuji stroked his beard and said.

In the past two years, there are countless young people who have emerged from the court, and the current court is no longer something that a group of Zhenguan old ministers can control, which makes the eldest grandson Wuji even more trembling in recent years, and now Li Chengqian's approach to Liaodong has made the eldest grandson Wuji sit down with this sense of crisis.

In the imperial garden, His Majesty Li Er, Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang walked in the garden together, followed by a large group of eunuchs and palace maids, and Deyi served behind His Majesty Li Er.

"Xuancheng, Dengshan, what do you two think of this Liaodong incident and Chengqian's approach?" His Majesty Li Er asked while pacing slowly, "Don't be sloppy with me, tell the truth." ”

"Back to Your Majesty." Wei Zheng arched his hand and said: "According to the minister, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did this time seems to be fast, but in fact it is vigorous and resolute, in the past, the ministers looked at His Royal Highness the Prince, although he was more than benevolent and virtuous, and there was no fault in handling state affairs, but he always felt that His Royal Highness the Prince, there was less momentum to break when he was decided, and now this time, it was the ministers who were impressed, but how this is specific depends on the results before making a conclusion." ”

Wei Zheng is Li Chengqian's teacher, for Li Chengqian's student, up to now, Wei Zheng feels very satisfied, Li Chengqian's past performance is also benevolent and filial, without losing the demeanor of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but with His Majesty Li Er's pearl and jade in front, Wei Zheng feels that Li Chengqian's body lacks the decisive and resolute bearing of His Majesty Li Er.

However, this time for Liaodong's decision-making, Wei Zheng found this kind of sign in Li Chengqian.

That's a good sign. (To be continued.) )
