The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2247
"Teacher, since the students have come, let the students come and help too," Li Jue said.

Anyway, he has nothing to do here, so he might as well be with his teacher, isn't that what his father wants?

When I came here yesterday, when Li Jue's guards were looking for a place to live, Li Jue walked around the village and asked some villagers what they thought about Xuan Shijing planting trees here. What Shijing wants to do, but even the villagers in the village think that it is a good thing to plant trees on the mountain.

Most of the village are people who have lived here for generations. Even in the war decades ago, they have never left their homes. It can be said that the surrounding plants and trees are very familiar to them, but When the Daming Palace was built on Longshouyuan, many people came here and cut down a lot of trees. Although they were not happy, what can they do?He is an official servant of the imperial court, His Majesty needs wood to build a new palace, can they keep it?

They also felt distressed seeing the originally dense forest on the mountain being ruined like that.

Especially the older generation, who watched the changes on the mountain, even if they wanted to change, they were powerless. Even though it was as simple as planting trees, even though the Tang Dynasty was in better shape now , but the common people are still exhausted from running around for a bite of food every day. When they enter Chang'an City, the so-called prosperity is only within a dozen or dozens of miles around Chang'an City.

It’s not like this place is far away from Chang’an City. Although the life is stable, it still needs to work hard to keep the whole family alive. In this kind of life, who has the leisure to spend money to buy it? Saplings go up the mountain to plant trees?

So after so many years, after the trees on the mountain were cut down, no one took care of them anymore. When Xuan Shijing brought Gao Jun and Chang Le here a few days ago, the halfway up the mountain was already full of weeds and shrubs. It's a mess.

It's just the beginning of summer, so it's not a good opportunity to plant trees, but now it's not time to choose people, but people to choose time. As for these planted trees, if [-]% to [-]% of the trees survive, it is already very good.

It is too hot in summer, so the best time to plant trees is spring.

It is impossible for Xuan Shijing to stay here for three or two years and wait for these trees to take root before leaving. It will only take a month at most. Xuan Shijing may leave here and return to Chang'an. If you can't survive, it depends on God.

"Fine, it's up to you." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

It would be a good thing if Li Jue could join in. Once Li Jue's identity was spread, wouldn't the surrounding government have to pay attention?After all, the status of the crown prince is much more important than Xuan Shijing's father-in-law. Moreover, the more people there are, the faster the work will be, won't it?Anyway, it's much faster than Xuan Shijing working hard here alone.

When Li Jue arrived at Xuan Shijing's side, the spies following in Chang'an City also rushed back to Chang'an City, and they wanted to report the prince's whereabouts to their master.

The others didn't have any ideas, but Lai Junchen's heart sank now.

The prince went to find Qi Guogong.

Did the prince carefully go there or did His Majesty mean it?
When Lai Junchen and Suo Yuanli sat together to discuss, it was more likely that His Majesty sent the prince away, but they didn't know where the prince was going at that time, so they asked people to follow the prince closely and wanted to inquire Prince's news.

"This is too bad." Lai Junchen sat in his study with a gloomy expression.

Whether it is the prince himself who wants to go to the Duke of Qi or His Majesty asks the prince to go to the Duke of Qi, this is not a good thing. Obviously, the relationship between the prince and the Duke of Qi is very close. It can even be said that the prince is involved in this matter. But he tends to protect Di Renjie, and even Qi Guogong. In this way, wouldn't he come to Junchen to turn against the prince and become an enemy of the prince?
Can you continue to do what you did before?

"Come here, go and invite Mr. Suo Yuanli to discuss matters." Lai Junchen shouted to the outside of the study.

"My lord, Lord Suo Yuanli was sent to Lantian County this morning, and he probably hasn't returned to Chang'an City yet." The people outside responded.

It's just a coincidence that it's just this time.

"Then do you know when he will come back?" Lai Junchen asked.

Now Lai Junchen was really flustered, if Suo Yuanli was there, he would be more calm after the two discussed it.

"Sir Suo Yuanli's servant didn't say anything." The people outside responded.

Lai Junchen felt a little impatient.

However, it is a foregone conclusion that the prince and Duke of Qi are walking together, and he had already imagined it. After all, Duke Qi is the teacher of the prince. I have been with Qi Guogong for a long time, can the relationship be bad?

No one knows better than the instigator, Lai Junchen, what happened to the Duke of Qi from the beginning to the end.

Lai Junchen sat there, squinting his eyes, thinking carefully about what he discussed with Suo Yuanli two days ago.

It would be a lie to say not to panic, but Lai Junchen also knows that the more this is the case, the less he can panic. Once he loses his position, he will really lose everything.

In the cell of Dali Temple, Di Renjie was already in the cell. It had been several days since the prince came to the cell last time, but there was still no movement outside.

Xu Zhengqing said that the prince had an argument with His Majesty in court because of his affairs, and then the prince left Chang'an City, but it is not known where the prince left Chang'an City and what he did.

Di Renjie smiled helplessly, where he could go, most likely he went to find Qi Guogong.

His Royal Highness is a student of Duke Qi.

Looking outside from the small window on the other side of the cell, the sky outside has already darkened, and there is not much light. It seems that the sky tonight should not be much better.

"My lord, your meal."

The guards in the cell carried the food, walked to the door, and delivered the food to the cell through the gap in the railing.

Di Renjie nodded.

"Well, put it there, I will eat it in a while."

The guard glanced at Di Renjie, hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head and left for the time being.

This is a prison cell, not his study, and three meals a day is already good treatment. He didn't eat this afternoon, and at this moment, Di Renjie was indeed empty and a little hungry.
