The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2188 Weighing the pros and cons
Even if Cheng Zhijie wanted to help Xuan Shijing, he had to make arrangements for his own family before he could do anything else. The relationship between the Cheng family and the Xuan family is well known. At this time, we can only use this method first. Temporarily separate from the Xuan family, and temporarily separate from the court, pretending to ignore this matter, so that His Majesty can be relieved, and it can also prevent Lai Junchen from setting the fire on the Cheng family. .

Xuan Shijing was living a good life in Zhuangzi, but inexplicably, he was played by Lai Junchen.

After receiving Di Renjie's letter, Xuan Shijing also looked confused.

Lai Junchen has just finished taking care of the Dou family, and started to attack the Xuan family?This man's heart is really big enough.

As for how to deal with it?How else to deal with it?Let him toss about it, he will live his life in Zhuangzi in peace and stability, now he says more and makes more mistakes, after what happened to the Dou family, Xuan Shijing also knows that if the emperor wants to mess with you Family, you are wrong no matter what, if the emperor doesn't want to mess with your family, your family will be fine no matter what.

Just like Dou Yan and Lai Junchen.

The emperor protects Lai Junchen, so it doesn't matter how Lai Junchen dies.

"This is Junchen, it's really troublesome to keep him." Xuan Shijing muttered to himself.

Although he knows that the emperor needs Lai Junchen now, and needs Lai Junchen to help him take the lead in cleaning up some court forces, and he cannot be moved, but now that Lai Junchen is on his own head, should he be kept?

Keeping him to cause trouble for himself?
Even if His Majesty does not listen to what Junchen said now, it will inevitably take a long time in the future. His Majesty will be suspicious of the Xuan family, even if the Xuan family has no idea.

Once the strength grows, there is nothing to worry about if you want to commit crimes?

Xuan Shijing had to think of a way now.

Whether it is to find a way to clean up Junchen, or to find a way to weaken his own family, in short, the matter in front of him must be resolved. On the surface, he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't care about anything, but secretly he can't sit still.

The officials in Chang'an City talked about Xuan Shijing's impeachment by Lai Junchen, they couldn't figure it out, how did Qi Guogong offend Lai Junchen?The crime Lai Junchen impeached was the crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family.

And Qi Guogong himself is Princess Jinyang's son-in-law, and is a relative of the royal family. It is unlikely that the family will be confiscated. After all, Princess Jinyang has been favored by two generations of emperors. She must not be involved. The Supreme Emperor is still in Zhuangzi. In terms of self-cultivation, it seems that life is going well, why is Lai Junchen crazy?
Lai Junchen didn't feel that he was crazy. It was only when he was collecting information on various officials in Chang'an City that he discovered that Qi Guogong extended his hand to the emperor's favor, but two generations of emperors valued him so much. How powerful is the Xuan family?

This investigation was complicated, and what was found shocked Lai Junchen enough. He didn't believe that His Majesty would still be so calm after seeing the results.

No matter what happens, it will cause waves in His Majesty's heart, right?

How could the emperor tolerate his subjects sitting on the throne?It is still within the scope of my own control. What if one day I can't control it anymore?

Furthermore, no matter whether it is the Supreme Emperor or the current His Majesty, they are deeply afraid of the power of the family in the court. The Guanlong Clan of the older generation has experienced all kinds of ups and downs, and now the power is in the hands of His Majesty. But a new generation of powerful families is rising, and it is the new family headed by the Xuan family.

The more Lai Junchen climbed up, the more he knew, and the more frightened he was about the things he had done in the past, but fortunately, everything came to an end.

And this also made Lai Junchen understand that what he did was entirely because His Majesty let him go behind his back, and His Majesty also wanted to use himself.

But at the beginning, he himself was a knife in His Majesty's hand.

It's still the same idea, to make myself a useful knife, so that His Majesty is reluctant to break his own knife.

As long as he can do this, then he can survive, and he will survive with the utmost honor and favor.

Lai Junchen knew very well in his heart, so he also had confidence in his heart when he took action against the Xuan family this time.

Will His Majesty allow the Xuan family to grow into another leader of the Guanlongmen Clan?Absolutely not.

Now His Majesty can control the Xuan family, can check and balance the Xuan family, the Xuan family dare not make mistakes, but what about the past ten years or decades?The Xuan family is gradually becoming stronger, but what happens when His Majesty feels powerless?In other words, if His Majesty is gone, what should the successor do?After Prince Li Jue ascended the throne, can he still control the Xuan family?

Not really.

Therefore, His Majesty will never take any risks. Therefore, once someone makes a move, His Majesty will definitely attack the Xuan family and weaken the Xuan family.

After retiring from the court, Lai Junchen did not stay idle, but continued to collect things about the Xuan family. He might not know which one could be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, Li Chengqian carefully looked through the contents of the brocade box presented by Junchen in the future, and let out a long sigh.

He couldn't understand Xuan Shijing, but he knew that Xuan Shijing would never have that kind of thought, otherwise, he would not lazily hide from the court, so far away from the court, and would not hesitate to put I moved my residence to Zhuangzi, and the whole family lived in Zhuangzi.

If one really wanted power and control of the court, wouldn't it be better to live in Chang'an City?
Moreover, the old house of the Xuan family has some special meanings in it. Now, that old house has really become an old house left unused. Only when the old lady returns to Chang'an will she live in that house. After such a long time, their family only lived in the old house for a while when An An got married. After An An got married, the family returned to the village and lived a peaceful life.

All these signs showed that the Xuan family did not have any disobedience as Lai Junchen said.

But what Lai Junchen said in the memorial is also reasonable.

Not now, what about in the future?

What about decades later?

Should we still allow the Xuan family to develop like this?

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that after so many years, there is no other movement in the Xuan family. Even the academy on Zhuangzi is under the control of the imperial court. Even the Supreme Emperor himself sits in the academy, and the academy is like the property of the royal family. There is not much contact with the Xuan family now.

Perhaps it is precisely because they know how powerful the academy is that the Xuan family shy away from it now?

Li Chengqian was very conflicted in his heart now. On the one hand, Lai Junchen's memorial was placed in front of him, and the thoughts in his heart lingered for a long time.
