The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1904
Dou Xiaoguo wanted to say, just treat it as the last time I frightened you, and after I apologized to you, I feel ashamed to make up for you, but I just said it in the carriage, and this matter has already been turned over, so I can't bring it up now.

An An was sitting in the carriage, and Dou Xiaoguo was sitting on the front frame of the carriage. The two turned the carriage around and ran towards Zhuangzi, Dongshan County. According to what they said, a group of people who can kidnap people for money, desperadoes, it is not a good thing to push such people into a hurry, now the name of Erxianzhuang can scare them, wait until they feel When you are about to lose your life, then you are not afraid of anything.

Daming Palace Hanyuan Hall.

Before dawn, Danfeng Gate was as usual. After the guards checked the sign, more than a dozen people worked together to push open the heavy palace gate of Danfeng Gate. Morning meeting of the day.

In the Hanyuan Hall, Li Chengqian was dressed in a crown and sat on the head.

"My emperor will last forever." All the officials bowed and cupped their hands.

"Everyone who loves you, please be free from courtesy."

After all the officials stood up straight, Lin'an took a step forward, and shouted loudly, "Go to the meeting and start, there is a fundamental to play, and there is no fundamental to retreat."

Before the ministers below could speak, Li Chengqian spoke first.

"Seeing all the lovers standing in the Hanyuan Hall, in my heart, to be honest, I have mixed feelings. On this step, I am sitting here. It is the king. In this hall, all the lovers are standing below. , It’s the ministers, the monarch and the ministers add up, this is the imperial court, what does the imperial court do? It governs the world, and I will tell you my love, I didn’t sleep well last night.” Li Chengqian said.

At the beginning of the early court meeting, Li Chengqian, the emperor, talked so much that the courtiers standing below were a little confused. It was all right, what did your majesty say?
"I didn't sleep well, my eyes were open, and I was always thinking about something, dear friends, guess what I was thinking?" Li Chengqian asked after scanning the officials in the palace.

"This"

All the ministers in the palace whispered to each other, discussing, although they were all guessing, but no one could figure it out.

It's a strange thing to be able to guess, because the emperor basically didn't say a word of intention.

"I was just thinking about how high the court hall is and how far the people are." Li Chengqian said: "How far is the distance from the court hall to the common people? For example, what I said at the court meeting today, When it is spread out of the palace, to the people, and to the ears of the people, what will this sentence look like? Is it different from what I wanted to express at the beginning?"

"No one dares to change His Majesty's oral instructions." Yu Zhining stood up and said.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "What the teacher said is true, and no one dares to change it, but some people dare to take advantage of loopholes, which forced me to take precautions, so as not to say anything from my mouth to make people take advantage of loopholes." If so, not only I, but also the officials of the imperial court, from top to bottom, officials big and small, are all like this."

"Your Majesty is able to know this, it is the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty, the common people, and our ministers and workers." Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said.

"But." Li Chengqian changed the subject: "I have tried my best to do things, but I can't hold back someone who is brave, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the bank, what does the court mean? When we get to the place, what does the bank look like?"

When the courtiers in the hall heard that Li Chengqian brought up the matter of the bank again, they didn't dare to say anything, for fear that if they spoke, something else would be involved, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, which made people feel hairy.

"I sent people to investigate the matter of the bank, and all the lovers know about it." Li Chengqian said: "But I never imagined that my imperial envoy was outside to investigate the case, and in a blink of an eye someone would dare to do something to the imperial envoy's family." , Ladies and gentlemen, you think, I didn’t fall asleep last night, did I not fall asleep at the beginning? No, I was so frightened by the news from outside the palace that I didn’t fall asleep! In the middle of the night, at Zhuangzi, Dongshan County, the Supreme Emperor himself Send someone to deliver the news to me!"

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, the court exploded in an instant.

As early as two years ago, the Supreme Emperor ignored the affairs in the court. Although he hadn't abdicated at that time, he didn't intervene in the harem, but now, in the middle of the night, he hurriedly sent someone to deliver the news. What's the matter?

"Qi Zou Your Majesty." Dou Xun, the servant of the Ministry of War, stood up and said, "The minister's cousin, Dou Xiaoguo, disappeared in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County yesterday. According to the young man accompanying him, he saw the thief and chased him alone. information."

This is the first time Li Chengqian heard of Dou Xiaoguo's disappearance, because yesterday His Majesty Li Er sent someone to deliver a letter to Li Chengqian, only saying that the eldest lady of the Xuan family, his niece was kidnapped, and his nephew ran to the door of the house in the middle of the night to knock , let him figure it out.

Although the sender said so, Li Chengqian could also imagine how furious his father was.

Even if it wasn't Jinyang's son-in-law, even if it wasn't Duke Qi of the imperial court, an ordinary minister went out to investigate the case, and it turned out that such a thing happened to his family members in Chang'an's house. Could the emperor not be angry?

An An was kidnapped, Dou Xiaoguo saw the thief chasing after him, and rescued Xuan Che, but Li Chengqian became interested in Dou Xiaoguo.

"Dou Xiaoguo" Li Chengqian said: "Dou Xun, is Dou Xiaoguo going to be an adult soon?"

"Return to Your Majesty, my cousin is over eighteen this year." Dou Xun said.

"That's two years away." Li Chengqian said: "It's okay, isn't there still a vacancy for the Minister of Rites? I'll keep it for him."

Li Chengqian knew about the grievances between the Dou family and the Xuan family, and, regarding An An, this Dou Xiaoguo was still the person involved, and Xuan Shijing hadn't taught him a lesson before, just like that, Dou Xiaoguo saw the Xuan family's siblings being kidnapped He was able to help, and even followed those thieves in the end, which is enough to show that Dou Xiaoguo also has a heart, and such a person should be used.

Furthermore, Li Chengqian also wants to give some benefits to the Dou family, and sell some face to the Dou family. Now all the aristocratic families related to the bank are shivering behind the bank. As long as the Zheng family continues like this, it will definitely fail. In the end, being seen by other aristocratic families, other aristocratic families will definitely vent their secrets. If this is the case, the Xuan family will be in danger.

Li Chengqian wanted to drag the Dou family away from those aristocratic families, at least not let the Dou family stand with them.

As for the relationship between the Dou family and the Xuan family, so many years have passed, there are also favors, grievances, and favors. They are officials in the same dynasty, and they are all in Chang'an.
