Chapter 687 Li Chengqian takes action on sea trade (4)

"I'm afraid that your Majesty will do anything. The imperial examination results will be listed. I don't want anything to happen at this critical moment." Chu Suiliang said worriedly.

In the evening of that day, after several hesitation, Xu Jingzong did not go to see Li Chengqian, but turned to Dali Temple. Di Renjie was about to go home and see Xu Jingzong wondered, "Why are you here?"

"Where has the sea trade matter been going to?" Xu Jingzong asked Di Renjie.

"The sea trade matter has been arranged a few years ago." Di Renjie said to Xu Jingzong, "The future sea trade will replace the business road between the Central Plains and the Middle East, and you should also understand this."

"I'm not talking about this." Xu Jingzong said anxiously, "It was the transfer of sea trade. Mr. Gu planned to hand over sea trade to His Highness King Jin. His Majesty already knew about this, and according to Chu Suiliang, Your Majesty's attitude towards this matter is very opposed. His Majesty is too young."

A hint of loneliness flashed across Di Renjie's eyes, "Xu Jingzong, logically speaking, I should call you uncle."

"The Dali Temple Master doesn't have to do this." Xu Jingzong continued, "I'm just worried about Your Majesty's actions."

"Li Chengqian did this for no reason." Di Renjie walked towards the city gate. "For Li Chengqian, if he could gain control of the sea trade, he could control the teacher very well. What do you think? To put it unpleasantly, why did Li Chengqian question the ability of His Highness King Jin? If His Highness King Jin does not have the ability, who will take over the place?"

"I understand." Xu Jingzong knew it, "If it's better for us to not interfere in this matter as the Dali Temple Minister said. I remember that when His Majesty was the crown prince, Gu Hou had played games with the prince and used the powerful people in Chang'an to perform. If we intervene rashly, it might be our turn to perform. In the end, we would think that the powerful people in Chang'an who were also suffering the loss at the beginning. If we swallowed this mute loss, we would not be such a role."

Di Renjie said again: "What Chu Suiliang said is not wrong. There can be no more twists and turns in the court. Although I don't understand your affairs in governing the world, I can see that the court has reached a very subtle point. The court is waiting everywhere for the new officials to enter the government office. The six ministries have only left behind branches, and many people are holding multiple positions."

"That's right." Xu Jingzong nodded, "At present, we can't be confused, for fear that there will be some twists and turns in this sea trade incident, which will lead to disintegration of people's hearts."

"I will tell the teacher about this." Di Renjie gave Xu Jingzong a reassuring look, "Don't worry."

When he returned home, Di Renjie brought his wife and his newly born son. Sun Simiao hadn't seen Di Renjie for a long time, "What have you been busy with recently?"

"Master, don't mention it." Di Renjie stretched his waist and said, "It's not that the court has caused trouble. Many places in Dali Temple cannot be separated. I almost lived in Dali Temple and finally came back once."

Sun Simiao smiled, "That's right. We finally came back once, so we must have a good drink."

Di Renjie's arrival added a lot of anger to the family, especially the children. Wu Mei likes to take care of these children, two of her own sons and one of Di Renjie's sons.

Gu Qing saw that Di Renjie had something to do and said, "He went out to speak."

"Yes." Di Renjie followed Gu Qing into the dark night in the courtyard.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood, and you're having some problems again." Gu Qing asked.

"It's not a problem for students." Di Renjie returned and said, "I don't know if His Highness King Jin realized it later. Li Chengqian has set his sights on the current alternating opportunity of sea trade. Some things are not well grasped by students. Chu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong, and Shangguan Yi have already noticed them, but it is a matter between the princes, and it is difficult for the court to interfere."

"I understand." Gu Qing nodded and said, "I know what to do. Don't worry, I will do this."

"You still have to rely on the teacher." Di Renjie was a little discouraged.

"There is no way. I am the only one who can challenge Li Chengqian in Chang'an." Gu Qing said to him, "Don't worry, the mountain man has his own tricks and will be settled. Li Chengqian will not be difficult to deal with."

Di Renjie nodded, "Students thought the teacher should pay attention to His Majesty's intentions. I feel that this time His Majesty did not come for something. Li Chengqian, a sea trader, could completely reap the power of the fisherman, but he still focused on the teacher's sea trader."

"Quan, Li Chengqian wants Quan, he wants to take Haimao." Gu Qing said.

"Yes!" Di Renjie also nodded, "Li Chengqian has also tried his best to restrict the teacher."

"What are you two saying?" Wu Mei came with two cups of hot tea and looked at Di Renjie, "It's not easy to live in Dali Temple. I think you have lost a lot of weight."

"I'm worried about my teacher's wife." Di Renjie also said: "Wan'er has been taking care of me these days."

"Wan'er is working hard, too." Wu Mei whispered, "and you have to take care of your children."

"Don't worry, Master's wife, I will treat Wan'er well." Di Renjie said solemnly.

"I have been waiting for so long and want to hear you say this." Gu Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Your teacher's wife is not feeling sorry for you, but for Wan'er."

Wu Mei covered her mouth and smiled, "You two can chat slowly, it's been a long time since you've talked like this."

Seeing Wu Mei leave, Gu Qing asked Di Renjie again, "How is Tang Jian's affairs?"

"It's not so good, I still have no clue." Di Renjie said melancholy, "The students even suspected that the person was not in Chang'an, and Tang Jian kept saying that his entire clan was placed on the edge, but the students did not find anyone with suspicious signs near Tang Jian's mansion."

"No outside, have you checked inside?"

“The teacher means…”

"Tang Jian said that his entire clan was put on a knife. As long as Tang Jian let go, his family would be destroyed, right?" Gu Qing sneered, "Sometimes those who can threaten his family are not necessarily outsiders, but insiders. Who is the one who can tolerate the most?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath, "The student understands that he is a servant of Tang Jian's family!"

"By the way." Gu Qing nodded, "You might as well treat this as a breakthrough and then check it in. Maybe you can find some clues and go to Tang Jian's house more often. If you can chat with others, you might as well invite them to Dali Temple to sit."

"Students understand, students know what to do, thank you for your teaching.
