It is very important for the prince who is about to take over power to have a good grasp of the situation.
Because if you do nothing, you will look like a waste, but if you really do everything, it will arouse dad's vigilance. You can only sit on that seat when he wants to give it to you, or when he dies. Otherwise, even if he has decided to give it to you, you will still be hit if you ask for it.
There is more than one such example throughout the ages.
Looking at the already fading morning light outside, Li Xian thought for a while and said, "Well, I think you should go back to Chang'an first to make preparations? After all, it is a big event, and it is the first time it is held. I think it is better to watch it in person." It’s better to hold it tighter.”
Li Zhi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine. In that case, I will allow you to return to Chang'an first."
Seeing that Li Zhi agreed, Li Xian stood up and bowed to say goodbye.
To be honest, hunting is just a day or two to relieve boredom. If it takes too long, it will become boring. Perhaps this is because his archery skills are really not that good.
People are like this. They often do something not because they are interested in it, but because they can get a sense of accomplishment from doing something, which makes them like it more and more.
After walking out of the camp, Li Xian summoned the people in the East Palace to prepare their luggage and return to Chang'an in advance.
Unlike the generals who were keen to compete for the hunting list, and the civil servants who had temporarily put down their government affairs and had a rest, Li Xian just wanted to prepare for the auction.
Although the transaction amount must be used to pay to the national treasury, Dong Palace has made an investment and must make some profit no matter what.
As for donating money, it is impossible to donate money. At most, you can donate a few antiques. There are also many of these things in the warehouse of the East Palace.
Li Xian felt that he really had no interest in antiques and never found them interesting.
However, Li Hong is a person who likes antiques, so there is not much money in the treasure house deep in the east palace warehouse, and most of it is rags.
In addition to taking out part of the body for burial, the rest still has to be dealt with.
Wouldn't it look much better if a pile of junk were replaced with real money and silver?
Although it is vulgar, Li Xian feels that he still prefers vulgarity.
After bidding farewell to Li Xian, Li Xian led the East Palace team back to Chang'an.
After being in the hunting ground for so many days and eating meat every day, you will always get tired of it.
Especially, in the whole mountain, apart from the Queen of Heaven, there are only some female guards. It is still difficult for a man to quit sex easily after eating the marrow and knowing the taste. In just a few days, he already misses his wives.
. Especially since the eldest wife is still pregnant, I am even more worried.
After more than a day, the team left the trail and entered the main road. Nothing happened until they arrived at the gate of Chang'an City.
The motorcade stopped in front of Chang'an Gate. Li Xian stepped out of the carriage, looked back at the direction of the hunting ground, frowned, and began to wait.
Not long after, several riders arrived with billowing smoke, it was Du Chunyi.
When he came near and dismounted from his horse to salute, Du Chunyi said: "Your Highness, the Qianniu Guards have not found any trace of the assassin along the way."
"knew."
Waving his hand to Du Chunyi to go back, Li Xian couldn't tell what kind of mood he was feeling now.
It was indeed a good thing that he didn't encounter another assassination, but it also proved that he would really have to rely on Qianniu Wei to catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
Although there are suspects, if there is insufficient evidence, they can only leave it in their mouths.
Because once you say it, the consequences are really unimaginable.
As for now, since they have no follow-up, at least in the short term, they will not make any further moves.
After all, with so much power being used this time, not everyone is willing to give up.
To cover up an operation, the number of lives required is countless. As for managing these people, it is even more difficult.
Thinking of this, Li Xian smiled slightly, then returned to the carriage and ordered the carriage to return to Chang'an.
Due to the drought, Chang'an has a larger flow of people than before. No matter what city it is, as long as it becomes the capital, it will develop rapidly and become a transportation artery. In addition to natural geographical factors, the capital is the first factor that creates a city's rapid development.
Passing through Zhuque Street, the carriage drove all the way back to the East Palace.
If you don't cherish something like time, it will be useless to regret it in the future.
Because of this, no matter what he does, Li Xian likes to arrange it in advance. Therefore, as early as last night when he was resting in the middle of the road, he had already ordered a fast horse to set off and summoned Zhang Youcai and Shangguan family.
The carriage arrived at the entrance of the East Palace and saw Zhang Youcai standing at the door with a respectful look.
Li Xian is quite satisfied with this external shopkeeper. What is certain is that this guy is also an ambitious guy, but ambition also has levels.
As an ordinary businessman, he successfully boarded the ship of the East Palace. Now he is working hard and all he wants is to improve his status. It would be great if he could become an official.
This level of ambition may be unbelievable to everyone among businessmen, but to Li Xian, it is really nothing, not even ambition.
Following the carriage all the way to Li Zheng Hall, seeing His Royal Highness getting out of the carriage, Zhang Youcai quickly stood by the carriage shaft to help him.
Pressing Zhang Youcai's shoulder and getting out of the carriage, Li Xian thought for a while and said, "You did a great job in this disaster relief. Xiao Desheng also told Gu that he basically didn't worry about it, especially some of the methods you used. Success has allowed Gu to establish a good image in the hearts of the people, which is very good. I have heard that one of your sons has been called a child prodigy since he was a child?"
Zhang Youcai was stunned for a moment, then tried hard to calm his voice, and then said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Zhang Yaozu started to learn to read when he was five years old. Now he is only ten years old. He has read a lot of books and written articles. He has also received many awards. He has been praised by many great scholars. However, because of his status, he is now over 20 years old and he only helps ordinary people manage their household affairs."
Speaking of this matter, Zhang Youcai was a little proud and a little sad. As long as the merchants start doing business, their future generations will have no chance of becoming officials. Even if you are from an ordinary background and can only work as a minor official, as long as you are an official, you will have a glorious ancestor.
Therefore, what he has always dreamed of joining the East Palace is not that he can become an official or something, but that he hopes to give his children a bright future. The seemingly unreachable world between businessmen and officials was nothing in the eyes of the prince.
He knew this very well.
Seeing that Zhang Youcai couldn't control his emotions, Li Xian smiled and said: "For now, I can't make you a big promise, but if you want your child to enter the official career, there are still some things you need to do." Yes, do you understand?"
Zhang Youcai is not a fool. He immediately said: "Your Highness, don't worry. When the common man returns home, we will break off the relationship with him."
