Chapter 1362: Quarrel

"Father, Your Majesty and Uncle Eldest Sun had a quarrel in the Liangyi Palace, no matter how much I persuaded him, in the end, Uncle Eldest Sun walked away angrily, and His Majesty also returned to the inner palace angrily, it seems that neither of them will back down this time." That night, Li An returned home and immediately found Li Xiu and complained that Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji quarreled, and he was angry at both ends as a middleman, but he had to persuade him, because no one in the Manchu Dynasty could persuade these two people except him.

"Why is it like this?" Li Xiu couldn't help but have a headache when he heard this, the contradiction between Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji became more and more prominent during this time, but this contradiction was hidden in the dark, and the two were still harmonious on the surface, but today they finally tore through the disguise on the surface, and I am afraid that the contradiction between the two will only become more acute in the future.

"The reason for the quarrel is not complicated, it is nothing more than that Your Majesty feels that Chang'an Taiji Palace is not suitable for people, and the climate of Chang'an is not very good, especially in winter, your Majesty does not like it very much, but the climate in Luoyang is pleasant, and the palace is also built well, so Your Majesty has the idea of moving the capital, speaking of which Luoyang is originally the eastern capital of our Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty wants to go to Luoyang and it is not even considered to move the capital, but Uncle Changsun resolutely disagreed, and the two quarreled." Li An also said with a headache expression at this time.

"Luoyang is the eastern capital, even if Your Majesty moves over, it is indeed not a move to the capital, but Chang'an is the capital established at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty after all, and now it is suddenly going to move to Luoyang, which will naturally cause many people to be dissatisfied, and the reason why the eldest grandson brother does not agree is probably afraid of causing too many people to oppose it, which will cause too much shock." Li Xiu also opened his mouth to analyze when he heard this.

"Your Majesty also understands that moving to Luoyang will cause many people to oppose it, but Chang'an here not only has problems with the palace, but also in the winter is very cold, the summer is hot, and it costs a lot of money to deal with the cold and heat every year, especially in winter, it is also prone to snow disasters, for example, last year, the city was closed for as many as ten days by heavy snow, and Chang'an's decree is difficult to come out, which has seriously affected the operation of the imperial court, so His Majesty will be determined to move to Luoyang." Li An spoke again at this time, and it seemed that he was on Li Zhi's side.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that those who support His Majesty's relocation of the capital are all you young officials, and most of the people who oppose it are some old ministers!" When Li Xiu saw his son's appearance, he couldn't help but smile at the moment.

In fact, it is normal to think about it, those old ministers have stayed in Chang'an for most of their lives, not to mention emotionally, the most important thing is that their family property is all on Chang'an's side, especially the real estate of fields and houses, if Chang'an is no longer the national capital, the price of these real estate will definitely fall, so just from the perspective of personal interests, these old ministers are not willing to relocate.

As for the young officials, it is much simpler, they have been officials for a long time, and they have not bought any industry, and there are too many old ministers on the top, which makes it very difficult for them to be promoted, but if they move to Luoyang, everything has to start from scratch, and some old ministers may not follow, so their opportunity will come.

"Hehe, my father guessed right, the interests of Chang'an have been divided, of course, our family is also one of them, but after all, not everyone has my background, especially in the past few years, there are too many officials from poor families who have entered the court, so the move of the capital is just in their interests." Li An also smiled at this time.

With the opening of Zhongnan Academy and Nanshan Academy, it is no longer possible for the family to control educational resources as before, and there are more and more opportunities for poor disciples to come out, not only for the imperial examination, but also for officials.

"If you want to completely disintegrate the influence of the family in the court, you still have to rely on these officials from poor families in the end, so Your Majesty decided to move to Luoyang regardless of anyone's opposition, and the eldest grandson brother is not reluctant to the interests of Chang'an, but he is worried that doing so will cause turmoil, so he wants to be safe, both sides have a reason, no wonder they will not give in." Li Xiu analyzed again at the moment, but when it came to the end, his brows were also furrowed even tighter.

"Yes, Your Majesty's long-term vision will naturally not shake his determination, and although Uncle Eldest Sun is also kind-hearted, when discussing with His Majesty today, he was a little fierce, and the two quarreled in the end." Li An nodded again at this time, but in the end, although he didn't say it explicitly, he also pointed out that the eldest grandson Wuji might be a little too big in front of Li Zhi, and oppressed people as his elder and old minister, which made Li Zhi unbearable.

"You go to Your Majesty's place to find out more in the past few days, but it's really not good, I'll go and see Your Majesty." Li Xiu pondered for a moment at this time and spoke again, after Li Shimin's death, the eldest grandson Wuji has been in power for so many years, and it is indeed a little flustered, but now Li Zhi should not really tear his face with the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, if they really fight with the monarch and minister, I am afraid it will not be as simple as turmoil in the court.

"Father, I ...... I don't think you should get involved in this matter, after all, with the situation of our family, it is not right to help either party, and I have been blocked at both ends during this time, if you get involved again, I am afraid that the situation is not much better than mine. Li An heard his father's words, but he spoke again with some hesitation.

"Don't worry, I'm not like you in the court, so naturally I have a lot of scruples, but I can withdraw at any time, if I can't do it, I'll go and talk openly and honestly with the eldest grandson Wuji, if he really can't see the situation clearly, I can be regarded as a friend!" When Li Xiu said the end, he couldn't help but sigh, the power is charming, even if a shrewd person like the eldest grandson Wuji is in the middle of it, it is difficult to extricate himself when he is deeply involved.

Hearing his father say this, Li An was not easy to persuade again, and then the two talked about some other things, mainly related to the court, Li Xiu also specially inquired about the last time the Great Food sent the delegation to come, but it turned out that although the Great Food Mission was received by Li Zhi, it did not reach any substantive agreement, and now it has been sent back by Li Zhi.

"By the way, there is another incident that happened today, although it was suppressed by His Majesty, I still want to hear my father's opinion, and this matter is related to the second brother." Li An suddenly thought of something at this time, and spoke again at the moment.

"Something to do with Jin'er?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he also thought of Li Jin's movements in the navy some time ago, and he couldn't help but say with a solemn face at the moment, "In addition to Jin'er, is it also related to Cheng Qian?" ”
