Chapter 23: Bargaining
And hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Tai somehow felt that what Li Chengqian said was right.
But before he could think about it, Li Chengqian's next words made him feel like his father was standing in front of him.
"Xiao Anzi took the token of this king, went to Zhang Shigui, and sent a hundred horsemen to take down the eunuchs and palace maids and guards of His Royal Highness King Yue one by one, the male was directly killed, and the female hair was an official prostitute" After speaking, Li Chengqian threw the token on his waist to Xiao Anzi.
As for the palace maids and eunuch guards who are now following Li Tai, when they heard Li Chengqian's order, they were already kneeling on the ground in fright and begging Li Chengqian to spare their lives.
"You know now that you are begging for mercy, when King Yue was bullying Princess Yuzhang, you all died, King Yue is still young, mentally incomplete, and ignorant, are you the same? You don't know how to persuade King Yue, but you still stand aside and turn a blind eye, you say, what do I royal care you do, pull it down" After speaking, Li Chengqian waved his sleeves and didn't care about the people kneeling on the ground.
"Gao Ming, Qingque's guards are all hundreds of horsemen sent by your father, they have all made contributions to my Tang Dynasty, and they are all good hands in the army, so it is detrimental to the country, it is better to let them treat their crimes and make meritorious contributions, and go to Rongcheng at the border gate" Just after Li Chengqian finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had already heard the palace maid's report and stood not far away for a while, walked out and said to Li Chengqian.
"Since you have said so, you waste, thank you queen mother"
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, those guards desperately kowtowed to the eldest grandson Wujian to thank him.
After those guards were pressed away, Li Chengqian saluted his queen and wife, "Mother, this time my son has overstepped, please punish my mother"
"You did a good job today, forget it, as for you Qingque, you are very disappointed in your mother, go back to the dormitory and kneel, you are not allowed to get up without my orders" After speaking, the eldest grandson Wujian pulled the little girl with red eyes who was crying on the side, and walked towards the Lizheng Palace.
Li Chengqian glanced back, Li Tai, who was like being beaten by frost, shook his head helplessly, followed the footsteps of his wife, and also walked towards the Lizheng Palace.
When they came to the lobby of the Lizheng Palace, the mother and son first put the frightened little girl to sleep, and then one of them drank a glass of ice water, waiting for the other party to speak, but it was best for Li Chengqian to open his mouth first.
"Mother, my son came here this time to find you to ask for a place, and my son wants to set up a workshop specializing in making furniture, you see, do you have a suitable place?" Li Chengqian finished speaking, and looked at his queen mother with expectant eyes.
"Gao Ming, the local mother has this, but if you want to take it away like this, there is no such good thing in the world, right?"
"My mother, I'm your own son, how can I order something from your old man, you are still scheming with me, at most I will give you 3 percent, not more" Li Chengqian was ready to be blackmailed by his queen mother before he came, and after her mother finished speaking, he said the price he had thought of before.
"It's only 3 percent, that's not good, why do you want 7 percent, I don't have to do it without 7 percent" Hearing that it's only 3 percent, the eldest grandson is not clean.
"7 percent, why don't you rob it, at most 4 percent, if you don't give it, then I can only do it in the East Palace, and you always think about it, what kind of fief do I want to break the prince to have a fief, I want money and no money, even Xiao Yi'er is not as good, how can she say that there is still a fief, I finally have a little bit of income, you still come to earn with me" After speaking, Li Chengqian looked at his wife aggrievedly.
"Alright, put away your profiteer! You are all the prince, and the country from now on is yours, what do you want, and you don't know the big expenses in this palace" But his wife is not a vegetarian, Li Chengqian plays the bitter card, and his wife plays the love card with him.
"Okay, okay, what you say is reasonable, I can't say you, and your old man also said that it is in the future, but I am poor now, 55 you see if it will work" In the end, Li Chengqian was helpless and said his reserve price.
"This is what you said, then 55 points" Hearing Li Chengqian say 55 points, his wife immediately agreed.
And this scene in front of them is fortunately not seen by outsiders, if they see that the most noble pair of mother and son in Datang, for a furniture workshop, like two snobbish businessmen, bargaining there, it will definitely surprise their eyes to fall.
"That's right, old lady, this is what I prepared for the childish anger, the baby walker, as long as you put the childish slave in, you don't have to care, he will sit in it and walk around by himself, you don't have to hold this kid all day long" After the business was finished, Li Chengqian hurriedly asked people to carry up the baby walker that was going to please his mother.
After lifting it up, he put the little guy Li Zhi in his mother's arms, and Li Zhi also slid around with his two little short legs after sitting in the baby walker, and laughed happily.
Seeing that her youngest son liked the gift given to him by his eldest brother so much, the eldest grandson Wujian also laughed, and at the same time, she also found that this baby walker was really a good thing, not only allowing the child slave to play by herself, but also learning to walk by herself, and most importantly, liberating her.
"Gao Ming, this baby walker is also seen from those books" After looking at it, Sun Wujian asked Li Chengqian.
"I didn't see this on it, I thought it myself, but the principle was seen on it" Li Chengqian didn't tell the truth about his mother's problem, of course, no one knew about this thing, he said that he thought of it, and no one would say that maybe thousands of years later, he would still be recognized as the inventor of the baby walker.
"In this way, then my cleverness is really powerful, not only can I apply what I have learned, but I can also innovate on this basis, not bad" Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the eldest grandson Wujian was very happy and praised Li Chengqian.
After Li Chengqian talked to his wife, he got up and left.
And after he left, in Li Tai's dormitory, Li Tai looked at the messy dormitory and had an indescribable bitterness, not that he was sad that his dormitory was made like this, but that he was trained by his mother today, and he was also punished to kneel, which is the most painful place for him.
In other places, those concubines and Li Chengqian's younger brothers and sisters were also discussing Li Tai's affairs.
"It seems that before, I was wrong about Gao Ming, his performance today is worthy of my grandson, so good" and Li Yuan, the ancestor of Tang Gaozu in Taiji Palace, heard his eunuchs talk about Li Chengqian's beating of Li Tai, and told Li Yuan what Li Chengqian said to Li Tai, Li Yuan even said several good words, which shows how satisfied Li Yuan is with Li Chengqian's performance, especially Li Chengqian's sentence "I beat you not because I am the prince, but because I am your brother"
