Xuan Shijing asked the guard to lift his leg again, and the guard did so.

Xuan Shijing was testing the weight of this rattan chair, since it was okay for this guard to sit on it, it would be enough to carry Jinyang, and he instructed the palace maid to find a lot of soft cushions and spread them inside, as soon as Princess Jinyang sat in, she called it comfortable.

"It's not too early, I still have to send Uncle Li and them back, His Royal Highness the Prince, son, I'll leave first." Xuan Shijing arched his hand and said.

"Brother Jing, my son will send you." Princess Jinyang jumped down from the rattan chair and prepared to follow Li Chengqian to see off Xuan Shijing.

The carriage of the Hou Mansion was parked in the courtyard of the Warm Pavilion, and Shi Hu was always guarding the carriage, which made Xuan Shijing see Shi Hu's dedicated side.

Xuan Shijing and Long'er got into the carriage, and there were still three people sitting in front of the frame.

After getting into the carriage, Xuan Shijing lifted the curtain of the carriage window, waved his hand at Princess Jinyang, and said, "Go back quickly." ”

Princess Jinyang nodded, watching Xuan Shijing's carriage leave the warm pavilion.

At this time, the sun has gradually begun to sink in the west, and when it comes to the West Market, the sun has completely set, Uncle Li and his son just got off the carriage, and the street cleaning drum on Chang'an Street sounded, and Shi Hu hurriedly accelerated the speed of the carriage to the Hou Mansion.

Jin Wuwei patrolling the streets was obviously more, and occasionally looked at the carriage of the Hou Mansion, but the street drum had not yet been beaten, so they naturally would not come up to interrogate.

After Xuan Shijing left, Li Chengqian also left the warm pavilion, after all, it was already late, but when he left, he took away the "Biography of Princess Pingyang Zhao" written by Princess Jinyang.

"I'll give this to my father." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Princess Jinyang nodded and agreed with Li Chengqian's approach, she understood that her eldest brother was protecting her.

Li Chengqian naturally didn't want Princess Jinyang to bear the criticism of the courtiers, so he took this matter on himself.

When he returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already dark, and Xuan Shijing went straight to the hall, and his mother was still waiting for him to eat.

"Mother, the child is back." As soon as he entered the atrium, Xuan Shijing saw Wang sitting at the table, which was already full of food, waiting for Xuan Shijing to come back.

"Why are you coming back so late today, sit down." Wang looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile: "I specially ordered the kitchen today, and I made everything you like to eat." ”

Pulling out the chair and sitting down, Xuan Shijing has a habit, that is, whether it is morning or evening, he always likes to put on a bowl of porridge when eating, so that it tastes fragrant, Wang naturally knows his habits, so he has already prepared white porridge on the table, Xuan Shijing took the porridge and drank a big sip, which was a pleasant sigh of relief.

"Jing'er has been busy these two days." Wang said lovingly: "As soon as I return to Chang'an, there are so many things. ”

Wang knew that Xuan Shijing was investigating the case of Shicheng and ten years ago, and saw that he had been running out for the rest of the day except for sleeping in the room in the morning, and the light in the study was also on late at night.

"That's not it, there are some things that you just tell the people below to investigate." Xuan Shijing picked up the steamed buns and chopsticks, and said while eating: "Mother, there are not enough people in our house now, I asked Long'er to transfer people from Erxianzhuang, and after coming, they are all arranged in Chang'an City, so it is convenient to dispatch." ”

The ancients paid attention to food and did not say anything, but Xuan Shijing really ignored so much, he was busy working outside all day long, and the most time he got together with his family was when he was eating, and there was not much communication at this time, and when could he be so leisurely.

Xuan Shijing chatted with the Wang family about the situation in Chang'an City and his current affairs.

The Wang clan sent out the attendants who were standing around, and said, "Jing'er thinks that Sun Yaoting, the squire of the military department, is deliberately trying to suppress the fold of Shicheng?" ”

Xuan Shijing told the Wang family that he secretly investigated Sun Yaoting, and he wanted to hear the Wang family's opinion, although he was a lot of people in his two lives, but this era has the rules of this era, and these rules, Xuan Shijing definitely does not know as much as the Wang family.

Xuan Shijing: "That's right, and I think that after I came back, His Majesty gave me the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and also acquiesced to me to investigate Sun Yaoting's affairs." ”

"When you left home, there was this Sun Yaoting among the people who came to the house to investigate, of course, I also sent someone to pay attention to it, Sun Yaoting, born in a poor family, served in the military department during the Wude period, at first it was just a Shangshu right division of the Zhu Shilang, all the way to the left of the military department, his own political performance is mediocre but can be promoted all the way, although this promotion has taken a long time, if you pay careful attention, his official position, promotion is indeed abnormal, at the foot of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, the performance assessment is very rigorous, if there is no one behind this Sun Yaoting, But I can't say it. Wang said lightly: "Since Jing'er wants to check, you can start from this aspect." ”

Promotions to official positions? Xuan Shijing frowned slightly, although he had seen some records of Sun Yaoting in Dali Temple before, but he really didn't pay attention to his background, as soon as the Wang family said this, Xuan Shijing felt that this Sun Yaoting was even more suspicious, a person from a poor family without any outstanding political achievements, how did he rise all the way to the position of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of War?

"Mother, did you find anything suspicious back then?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Hmm" Wang Shi groaned slightly, and then said: "There is one point, this Sun Yaoting was the emperor's person before. ”

What does this have to do with Li Yuan.

"Jing'er must also know that on the eve of your poisoning, Li Yuanjing was in Chang'an, and he met the Emperor Taishang in private, and it was at that time that Li Yuanjing took over the power left by the Emperor Taishang in the court, of course, including Sun Yaoting." Wang continued: "Therefore, not only Sun Yaoting, but now all the former ministers of martial arts in the court must be investigated. ”

The Wang family is also worthy of being the head of the Hou Mansion, and can do it in the tube, Xuan Shijing also felt that since he wanted to investigate, he would investigate it thoroughly, and the enmity between him and Li Yuanjing could be said to be incompatible.

"Mother, do you mean that there is still a chain of interests of Wood's former ministers involved in the DPRK? And this Sun Yaoting is a link in this chain? Xuan Shijing said: "If this is the case, why would Your Majesty tolerate it to this day? ”

His Majesty Li Er's personality can't rub sand in his eyes, especially when Li Yuan mixes these sands.

"It's not uncommon for the ministers of the DPRK and China to lean on each other's pillars, especially these old ministers in the Wude period, they were either the direct line of the emperor, or the party of the prince, after His Majesty ascended the throne, they were also open to them, although they stayed in office, but there were very few appointed important positions, and His Majesty would not fully trust them, but they could not be wantonly cut and degraded, they could only turn a blind eye, after all, these people are still useful to the Tang Dynasty." Wang said: "But Jing'er, my mother wants to remind you, if you want to investigate the case, you must pay attention to proportion, try to only move Sun Yaoting, the chain of Wude's old ministers, you must not touch it, check Sun Yaoting, with His Majesty behind his back, Lu Guogong can also respond from the side, after all, the matter of Shicheng is involved in the matter, but in this regard, even His Majesty can't help you." ”

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, mother, as long as they don't have any bad intentions for our house, we don't need to be heroes." Xuan Shijing said.

Hearing Xuan Shijing say this, Wang's heart relaxed, and then he talked about the progress of Xuan Shijing's poisoning ten years ago.
