0194 Return the color, Lee's has someone
Seeing that the young king was silent, just listening carefully to his own story, Princess Taiping's evaluation of this nephew in her heart couldn't help but be a little higher.
Before she came to the door today, she also inquired about this nephew through different channels in many ways, especially his recent actions. The more I learned, the more I was amazed, but there were always some reservations in my heart.
It's not that I doubt the authenticity of those messages, but I just feel that this age is the time when I think of myself very high and feel strong about myself, and I am in the moment of pride when Cheng En suddenly appears, and I am worried that the young king will be complacent and forgetful, and once he loses his prudence and humility, the wealth in front of him may not be able to last long.
Now it seems that her considerations are a bit redundant, and Shaowang seems to be even calmer than her, calm and steady, which is reassuring.
But then, Princess Taiping felt a little embarrassed in her heart, since the young king in front of her was not arrogant at all, why didn't she delay seeing her when she took the initiative to show favor and make an appointment? This is because you feel that even if you ask to meet, you can't provide any useful help to the other party at the moment?
"Although your aunt is often troubled by the current situation, and she is not good at coping with things, she also knows the heat and coldness when she looks at the world. San Lang can discipline your cousin on my behalf, and the two of us will not lack the help of family affection in this divine capital city. ”
Speaking of this, Princess Taiping also felt a little sad in her heart. Now she is really at a loss, she only feels that the personnel are complicated, and she has no way to start, and she is not as good as her nephew, who is much younger than her.
Hearing Princess Taiping say this, Li Tong couldn't be silent anymore, he turned over and knelt on the side and said in a deep voice: "Why did my aunt say this? Baoyu was only afraid of shallowness and didn't dare to be long, but since my aunt could trust me, she did her best to complement her cousin in parallel, so as not to disappoint her parents. ”
Of course, Li Tong does not rule out a closer relationship with this aunt, no matter whether Princess Taiping can find her position in the current situation or not, the advantages she has are the envy of others.
No matter how close Li Tong gets to his grandmother, the identity and status between them will determine that there will be an estrangement, and this estrangement is also deliberately maintained by Li Tong, unwilling to completely become a puppet under his grandmother's hands.
But his aunt has no such concerns, and the communication between her and her mother is still much more efficient than others, which is not even comparable to Xue Huaiyi, who is a person in the curtain. For this alone, if this aunt can be slightly tilted towards him in her position, Li Tong will definitely get no less help.
Previously, he hesitated because he was worried that Princess Taiping had a strong personality, and it was difficult to guarantee whether she would be noisy in the future cooperation. You must know that even Xue Huaiyi had to add drama to himself to make a scene of Liansheng offering scriptures when he cooperated with the performance of "Vientiane", and now it seems that he has a slight resentment because of Li Tong's competition for the scriptures.
A person like Princess Taiping is destined not to become anyone's puppet, and she will not be willing to be at the mercy of others. And Li Tong himself also has his own insistence, although this cooperative relationship has not yet begun, Li Tong is sure that there will be friction and collision in the future, unless one of them is willing to take the initiative to accommodate.
But now that Princess Taiping has taken the initiative to come to the door, of course Li Tong has no reason to refuse. The silence before was thinking and considering Princess Taiping's current political potential, and whether she could control the initiative of cooperation at the moment.
All political creatures, once they reach a tacit understanding, will definitely have corresponding political demands. Li Tong was worried that Princess Taiping's interpersonal relationship was too complicated, so she had some unrealistic political delusions, such as the Hedong Xue family, who had a close relationship with her.
Ding Xingwang, a member of such a big family, is involved in many things, once he has any intention to plan, it is definitely not something that Li Tong can accompany the current toss, and he is not optimistic about those tosses.
Now that it is confirmed that the relationship between Princess Taiping and her husband's family is indeed not good, Li Tong is much more relieved. At present, he is still just a shallow Shilin, and he still needs to take root and consolidate. If the Xue family wants to use the relationship of Princess Taiping to infiltrate into his own social circle, Li Tong will have no power to resist.
For example, Xue Yuanchao, who said that he had three hatreds in life, served as the prime minister in the Gaozong Dynasty, and also appreciated and promoted many Shilin celebrities, such as the former prime minister Ren Xigu, the assassin of Shaanzhou Guo Zhengyi, the heavenly official servant Zheng Xuanting, etc., literary scholars such as Li Qiao, Cui Rong, including Yang Jiong, the fourth son of the early Tang Dynasty, and so on.
There was no stable occasion and suitable situation before, and there were no leading figures on the stage under the Xue clan in Hedong, so the friendship of these characters has not yet been revealed.
But if the Xue family really wants to use Princess Taiping to string together these old feelings, it will be a matter of minutes for Li Tong to be marginalized, even if he will not be completely excluded, he is just a rich and handsome king who is good at writing poetry, and it is difficult to rise to the level of making people follow.
Li Tong now has a lot of seedlings for the future prime minister, how can he be willing to make wedding clothes for others.
Now that he knows that the Xue family is at least inconsistent with Princess Taiping in terms of political position, and of course, the current Princess Taiping can't talk about any political position, Li Tong is much more relieved. He has plenty of time to consolidate and establish his influence, and even if the cooperation can't continue in the future, he can clearly understand it when they part ways, so that he will not be completely powerless.
Hearing Li Tong say this, Princess Taiping's eyebrows and eyes widened, and she looked at Li Tong and said sadly: "San Lang doesn't have to be humble, I am really relieved to entrust the child to you." Tell me the truth, since your uncle...... Alas, since then, I have not even dared my children to leave my side for a short time, only fear, only fear ......"
Seeing this aunt's sad appearance, Li Tong also sighed in his heart, and said: "Actually, Baoyu is not like this, every time he misses a night, he can't sleep, he is tired of hearing the sound of gold and iron, and he is afraid of seeing the living come to the door." Only recently did he dare to undress and sleep. ”
This is not a complete exaggeration, during the period when Jin Wuwei surrounded the workshop and the situation was at its worst, Li Tong really didn't dare to undress and fall asleep, worried that he would be taken out of the bed and die an undignified death.
He is not alone in this experience. Like his grandfather Li Zhi's first crown prince, Li Zhong, in order to prevent assassination, he even wore women's clothes to cover himself. Li Linfu, the traitor of the Tang Dynasty, traveled to many places at night and did not dare to stay in one place all night.
Properly revealing your weaknesses can help strengthen your sense of closeness. When Princess Taiping heard Li Tong say this, she also nodded with deep feeling and envy: "But fortunately, now, San Lang, you have finally improved, and your own talents have been revealed, and you can also benefit your family." Alas, I really hate myself for not being a man......"
When Li Tong heard this, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he said in his heart that if you are a man, you may have to go down to accompany my father.
Speaking of this, they are also close to each other, and the time is not early. Li Tong originally planned to let Princess Taiping stay overnight, but Princess Taiping was not worried about the children at home, so she still boarded the car at night to leave the palace and drove out of the letter workshop in the night.
When Li Tong gave the gift to Princess Taiping, he glanced at the new Fang Zheng who hurriedly came to open the door, and couldn't help but think of Tian Dasheng and the others who had been away from the capital for many days, and they didn't know if they had succeeded.
The lag of ancient news transmission really made him feel it, and he even hated why he only memorized all Tang poems and didn't learn radio.
While waiting for the fang to open, Princess Taiping couldn't help but say to Li Tong: "San Lang, it's good for you to be cautious at home, but there are things that don't have to be too conservative. No matter how much it is with the light, my family is different after all. Now you live in a noble place, have a lot of communication, and open a neighborhood gateway next to it, and enjoy convenience in and out of hospitality. ”
When Li Tong heard this, he was very moved in his heart, he actually had such thoughts, after all, there is a fixed number of doors to open and close, and it is too inconvenient to enter and exit. However, after all, his power was short, and he had not yet grasped the proportions of the powerful and arrogant.
"This matter is also simple, just report to Jin Wuwei and the county party, it is not difficult to dig a door hole, I will help San Lang make this convenient tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Princess Taiping seemed to think of something by chance, and motioned for Li Tong to come closer and said: "The street envoy in your old song "Street Envoy Song", sued Shangguan, and now he has decided on the facts, and then he will return to Zuo Jinwu Weixun Mansion to serve. He was able to regain his innocence so quickly, and he was also quite proud of San Lang, you sang in the old days. ”
When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't know much about it, and he couldn't understand what Princess Taiping meant by telling him for a while. Is it to signal that she knows everything about herself, or is it to suggest that he can try to develop the street man?
But no matter what Princess Taiping meant, Li Tong didn't pay much attention to it. If it was the former, he had nothing to worry about, after all, the core part of the conspiracy was simply unsolvable.
If it's the latter, he also has his own rules and steps to do things, and it makes more sense to consolidate the relationship with the Dugu clan than to win over a Jinwuwei general, and who knows if the street envoy released it was his grandmother's bait to lure people to the bait.
After the night passed, early the next morning, Princess Taiping came to the door again, this time with her children, especially the eldest son Xue Chongxun, the little guy was less than ten years old, not fully opened, eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to his mother, but a little cowardly.
Princess Taiping plans to foster this son in Li Tong's house for a long time, Li Tong also let the family clean up a separate courtyard last night, and saw that the living utensils sent by the princess mansion were obviously more expensive than those used by their own family, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh that in terms of financial resources alone, his aunt was really too much better than his family, no wonder the Xue family would turn against her and make trouble with her.
Princess Taiping was not very interested, and after introducing her son, she asked her to lead her to the other room first, looked at Li Tong and said in a condensed voice: "The queen mother will make me a new match, it is her mother's inferior nephew Wu Youji, the period is in October, and it is impossible to refuse." Saburo, let me ask you, can you give your aunt a ride at that time? There is no other family to look up to, if you are brave enough, our aunt and nephew will repay it a little, so as not to let the Wu clan mediocrity laugh at my family! ”
