After a cup of tea, Changsun Wuji felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the two men standing here. Even though he was the elder of the two men, some of what he said just now was a bit excessive. After all, one
One is the prince, and the other is the grandson.
Fortunately, there are no other people here. If word really spreads, Changsun Wuji is lucky now, and no one will dare to find trouble with him. But if he is unlucky one day, you teach the prince and grandson like this, you know
How big a crime did you commit?
"Everyone, please sit down. There is no need to stand like this. I am saying these things for your own good. Now I see that you are in control of the situation, but you cannot always control the situation. Once you go downhill or are caught by others,
Handle, everything today is your talisman."
What Changsun Wuji said was good advice. Li Xiang also understood this very well. Since ancient times, loyal words have been harsh to the ears. Can a person like this be a good person if he says something you are willing to listen to every day? He knows nothing but flattering, so Li Xiang still needs to
People like Changsun Wuji always push themselves so that they can understand their mistakes.
"Uncle, what you said is right, but we can't be blamed for some things. For example, the three thousand people from Tubo are preparing to meet my father. This is always a serious matter, but my father
How many days has the emperor been promoting? If it had been in the past, these people would have been allowed to come to the palace."
Li Chengqian remembered another thing. This time during the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, the Tubo Kingdom sent 3,000 people. They were to accompany the army on the expedition. This should be the treatment of the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, but this has not been mentioned yet, but they sent people
Come on, isn't this a matter of honor to the Tang Dynasty? If it had been in the past, Li Shimin would have definitely made an edict to the world and made a big deal about this matter. But just because this matter has something to do with Li Xiang, Li Shimin
He actually suppressed this matter and prepared to deal with it coldly.
Speaking of this matter, Li Xiang was also aggrieved. He did it for real, but besides himself, there were many talented people below. He didn't need this credit. Could it be that they also
Don't you need it? Li Shimin suppressed this matter, that is, to tell these people, don't expect credit for following Li Xiang in the future.
Once or twice, everyone is fine, but what if it takes a long time? Why was the King of Wei unwilling to give the jade pendant to Li Xiang in the first place? It was because it was a symbol of the Palace of the King of Wei, and giving it to Li Xiang represented the loss of his power.
, so King Wei had to risk his life to keep it.
It's the same thing now. This is something to give confidence to the people below. If the emperor keeps suppressing him again and again, then who will be willing to follow Li Xiang? Including the generals who have already stood up, they will also look for him elsewhere.
of.
From what Li Chengqian said, Li Xiang could tell that there were some things that this father could not care about, or even generously give them to others, but there were some things that had to be cared about. This matter was related to the face of the East Palace, and to
Is there anyone who is willing to hang out with Li Xiang in the future, so Li Chengqian said it here and hoped that Changsun Wuji would understand this matter.
"As I told you earlier, you have to stay calm. The army of three thousand people has arrived outside Chang'an City. There are more than three thousand people just watching them, and the troops mobilized are all from the capital.
What is there to worry about? If the emperor can suppress it for one day, can he suppress it for two days? If he can suppress it for two days, can he suppress it for a month?"
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said. The father and son looked at each other. No wonder Changsun Wuji was not anxious about this matter. This was Li Xiang's biggest contribution this time. He almost wiped out Tubo, but no one saw it.
, the Tubo Kingdom sent people to accompany the army, which was a real achievement. If Li Shimin had kept suppressing it, rumors in the court might have started.
"Uncle, is there any news?"
Li Xiang was also a little unable to bear it. You must know that letting the Tubo Kingdom go out with the army is something that has never been done by anyone. Now that Li Xiang has done it, it is a great achievement and a reward from Li Shimin.
It can't be too small, otherwise outsiders will say he is stingy.
"Of course there is news. The reward given to you this time must be real and cannot be fooled casually. But you are already too young and it is difficult to canonize you, so the emperor is also here
Think about it and see if you can find a balance point that can satisfy you and him."
As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, Li Xiang immediately felt like he was wilting. If Li Shimin was satisfied, he would have wanted to beat himself up to the end, or be an idle son in Chang'an City. In the past, Li Shimin was worried about future generations.
He has no ability. Now that this descendant has such great abilities, he already feels in danger.
"Both of you are like this. You start to get discouraged at the slightest thing. This is a sure thing. You don't have to think about it. There will definitely be results before you go out. When it's time to go back, go back. Don't stay here with me. See
I'm jealous of you guys."
Changsun Wuji said angrily. The two men sighed one by one. Changsun Wuji also felt uncomfortable, but the situation in Chang'an City is already like this. Even if Changsun Wuji is also the most powerful minister, it cannot be done for Li Xiang.
To strive for too many benefits, if Changsun Wuji steps forward, then Li Shimin's suspicion will become even more serious.
Now Changsun Wuji can only secretly advise Li Xiang. In doing so, Li Shimin will also gain face. If he expresses it directly, then some things will be difficult to say. Li Shimin may weaken the power of the Changsun family, or he may use other methods.
This is a way to give Changsun Wuji some color and let him know who is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. No matter what the situation is, this is not what Sun Wuji wants to happen.
The two left the Changsun Mansion one after another. Li Chengqian was going back to the East Palace. Li Xiang saw that it was still early and decided to go to his old father-in-law's house.
Cheng Yaojin was a little surprised by Li Xiang's arrival. After all, he had known for a long time that he was going to see Sun Wuji. He thought he would not be able to make it through today and would come back tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Li Xiang came like this. Of course, neither of them did
Outsiders, if my son-in-law goes to Lao Yue's house for a drink, do he still need to make an appointment in advance?
Cheng Yaojin's house was also well-equipped with everything. After seeing Li Xiang coming, the old father-in-law became more and more excited to see his son-in-law, so he quickly asked the cook at home to cook. No matter what time it was, we
