Li Xiang has announced to the public that he is seriously ill, so even if he goes to see Li Shimin, he can only change into the clothes of a young eunuch. Li Xiang hates such clothes, but if he swaggers in, I'm afraid there will be too many people in the palace.
If you are confused, the news will spread immediately, and all the things you have done before will be in vain.
Li Shimin suppressed Li Xiang in all aspects, but some things still had to be done by Li Xiang. For example, regarding the salt auction, Li Xiang had already obtained enough salt, but how to operate the remaining items?
Li Xiang needs to interpret it. Although Li Shimin handed over this matter to Fang Xuanling, he still has to ask the right questions.
Grandfather and grandson met again, and Li Shimin suddenly felt a little ashamed of his grandson. A few days ago, he also staged a drama about establishing a queen in this hall, hoping to make Li Xiang and Li Ke enemies.
As a result, Li Xiang fainted and passed away. Later, when he returned, he started to resign from his position. This was considered a more sensible thing, but Li Shimin still felt uncomfortable. He was already a threat to the imperial power at such a young age, and this was him.
His grandson, it would be hard to say to anyone else.
"Regarding the matter of the salt auction, I am going to leave it to you to hold the treasure. I have some things to ask you. Is it better to disperse the auction to various places, or to concentrate it all in the capital?"
Li Shimin himself felt strange. He seemed to be a little flattering when he said this, fearing that this guy would give up his job.
"The emperor has countless capable ministers, but my grandson dare not interrupt."
According to Li Shimin's idea, if Li Xiang was a tycoon, no matter how hard he suppressed him, he would not show his weakness at this moment. He should talk to him about the details of the auction. Who knew that Li Xiang would act carelessly after he stood up?
It looked like he was leaning directly against the pillars of the main hall.
"Look at your appearance, do you still have the majesty of a royal child?"
Whether it was Li Shimin's brothers, sons, or some of his grandsons, when they came to the main hall, they were all sitting upright, none of them looked like Li Xiang.
"My grandson is sick now, and he is very ill. This is the result of the diagnosis by several imperial doctors at the imperial hospital. What's more, there is no one else here. Who has to maintain etiquette in his grandfather's house? This life is tiring.
Aren’t you tired?”
Li Xiang found a place to sit down while talking. This kind of disrespectful behavior made Li Shimin smile on his face. What happened these days? Maybe he was nervous. How could he regard his grandson as his own?
Where is the enemy? After all, he is just a teenage kid, and he is his grandfather. The reason why he was able to jump so high before was because of his grandfather's support.
With a very simple move, Li Xiang immediately made Li Shimin feel that the Tian family still has family ties. Li Shimin was very fond of this trick before, and Li Xiang did not expect it. Now that he has thought of it, he must use this trick.
Just use it.
"You little brat, you're not really sick, are you?"
Li Shimin naturally knew what was going on with Li Xiang's body, but at this moment, he saw that Li Xiang was sallow and looked very sick. Don't pretend to be sick. If he was really sick, it would be a real loss.
Now, looking at the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, this one is probably the only one who can do anything.
"I haven't had much rest these past two days. I was scared here today, and I'm going to resign tomorrow. It's strange that my health is good."
Li Xiang touched an offering fruit on the table next to him, wiped it on his body and ate it. As expected, it was provided to the emperor. This thing was sweeter than the one in the East Palace.
After listening to Li Xiang's words, Li Shimin knew that Li Xiang was not really sick, but he must have been frightened these days. The rewards he received all the way before, and now his indifference all the way. Thinking of the things he did, Li Shimin also
It was rare to blush a little, but of course it became normal in an instant. If the emperor does not even have this ability, then he is an incompetent emperor.
"Please stay at home for a while. You have jumped too high recently. Grandpa did this to protect you and prevent you from becoming the target of public criticism. If everyone attacks you, how can you continue to do what you do today? Don't
Talking about those useless things, you should first talk about the salt auction, what should we do?"
Li Shimin comforted the guy a few words, thinking that he should change his attitude in the future, and not let the civil and military officials of the court think that this guy had fallen out of favor. If this was the case, it would not be a good thing for the future heir, and it would be easy for him to let him down.
If he takes a paranoid route and ends up in his own opposition, he will be picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon. It will indeed restrict this kid's rights, but it will not be good for the future Tang Dynasty.
Hearing that Li Shimin started to talk about business, and also resolved the conflict between the two some time ago, Li Xiang also started to talk about the salt auction.
The Wang family in Taiyuan is the largest businessman among the salt merchants. They also suffered the most losses in this auction, so they have to do one thing before the auction, which is to send elite soldiers and generals into the ground in Shanxi to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, although they have a higher chance of rebellion.
It’s small, but we must be prepared.
In the past, the Wang family in Taiyuan had an affair with Tuyuhun, and the relevant evidence was obtained by Li Shimin, but because there was no way to complete the ironclad case, it was not launched. However, this anger has been suppressed in the body. If it is not released, it will be injured.
It's us who are the ones who want to take advantage of this opportunity to cause them to bleed a lot, or even change from the top class to the second class. This is the most angry thing.
"Grandpa, you should have a list of officials from the Wang family in Taiyuan, secretly and openly. Before starting the auction, you have to control all of these people. Remove those who can be removed as much as possible. Those who can't be removed, and you can't let anything happen to them.
Son."
Both my grandfather and grandson are smart people. Before they start scheming against others, they must first keep the overall situation unchanged. After all, they are the helmsmen of the Tang Dynasty. If there is any trouble in the Tang Dynasty, their grandfather and grandson will suffer the greatest losses.
.
Li Shimin watched the clerk next to him finish writing, and then nodded to signal Li Xiang to say the second one.
"How much money is left in the treasury?"
While they were discussing how to weaken the Wang family in Taiyuan, Li Shimin suddenly became nervous when Li Xiang said something like this, "Aren't you just trying to get money from the treasury?" The money in the treasury supports the operation of the country.
