Chapter 1166: Exploiting Loopholes

"If you don't say it, I'll really forget that what you kid is best at is exploiting loopholes." After listening carefully to Li Chengqian's explanation, the old man smiled and poked him twice with his finger.

Li Chengqian's face was also slightly red when the old man said this, but he regained his original expression in an instant, and said cheekily: "The son thanked his father for his 'compliment'. ”

"Then let's talk about what your backhand is, you kid won't have no back-up moves, right?" Li Shimin is not an ordinary emperor, he is not so easy to fool, and he is careful about Li Chengqian, a son who he can't understand.

Of course, this caution does not imply precaution, it is just a concern.

Whenever Li Chengqian made any strange moves, the old man would ask for a clear understanding, so that even if his son caused any trouble in the future, he would have a chance to remedy it.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, which should refer to Li Er's current mentality.

He was more and less pleased to have such a capable son as Li Chengqian, but sometimes he had to guard against this son's own rebellion.

But while taking precautions, he, who is an old man, has to work hard to continue to hone his son, so that he can become more mature, more stable, or more 'powerful'.

This is also where Li Shimin is embarrassed, his son Qiangye Shengzu should be a happy thing in the homes of ordinary people, but it has become a torment for him.

He hopes that Li Chengqian can be even more 'powerful' than himself, because this is the expectation that every father will have. And for the Tang Dynasty, it is also a good thing to have a strong monarch, at least the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will not be defeated in the hands of Li Chengqian.

However, the strength of his son is also a threat to Lao Li himself, after all, no one can guarantee that Li Chengqian will honestly obey his arrangement and wait patiently for him to hand over the throne to him.

The ambivalence makes Lao Li suffer from a kind of torment all the time, feeling that he is a little out of breath when he is chased by the back waves, as if he may be photographed on the beach at any time.

"Father, Father, are you listening?" Just when His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor was a little distracted, a distant call pulled his thoughts back.

"Oh, go on, I'm listening." In order not to look too embarrassed, His Majesty Li Er dealt with it and said.

Li Chengqian didn't have any good way to deal with the old man's obvious coping, after all, it was his Lao Tzu who was sitting there, not anyone else.

So when the old man motioned for him to continue, he could only reluctantly start over, after all, the old man can be perfunctory, but he, who is a son, can't be perfunctory, and if he doesn't make it clear, God knows that the old man will 'retaliate' that day.

"Father, the sons and daughters think that we can set up some workshops in the name of the court, and increase some subsidies for some jobs suitable for women in the workshops, so that we don't need to introduce any policies, and the people will naturally let the women in the family participate in the work when they see the benefits."

"With more and more such work, slowly let the people of Datang regard women's participation in work as a norm, forming a kind of inertial thinking, and when that day comes, who do we need to explain to what? Those who want to oppose it will probably be spurned by the people before they raise their objections. ”

This time, Li Shimin understood it, and dared to sympathize with Li Chengqian's so-called 'established facts' that was to cut things first and then play a prelude, do things first, and then 'force the palace' in the end. However, this does seem to be a good way, and none of them are against Tang Law.

In the end, the leader, tempted by the huge labor force and a large amount of taxes, chose to side with Li Chengqian, and said slowly: "You can give it a try, remember, don't make too much noise." ”

"Whoa! The sons and daughters will understand. Li Chengqian, who had the old man's permission, happily agreed.

Although even if the old man does not allow it, he will do it, but then he will lose the logistics, and if something goes wrong, the old man will not wipe his ass. But since the old man agreed, it means that if something goes wrong in the future, he has a backer to rely on, and he doesn't have to face it alone.

"I called you back this time, do you have any plans for yourself?" The old man, who satisfied his curiosity, brought the topic back on track.

The affairs of the common people are of course important, but what is even more important at the moment is the conquered Goguryeo, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and how to operate it needs to be carefully studied to prevent things like Li Youliang's rebellion.

"The sons and daughters don't have any plans, everything is arranged by their father." Li Chengqian shook his head.

Generally speaking, the things he needs to be busy with are similar to what the old man wants him to do, so he doesn't need to show himself, just follow the arrangement honestly.

Lao Li snorted, and then said: "Then you go to the court tomorrow, there are some things you should get involved in now." ”

"Huh?" Li Chengqian raised his head instantly and looked at the old man in surprise: "Up, up?" ”

It's been a long time since he went to the court, Li Chengqian has long been used to being lazy, and now when the old man talks about going to the court, he is stunned at that time.

"What, you are a prince, why don't you go to the court since you have returned to Beijing?" The old man was not lightly angry at Li Chengqian's incompetence, and his eyes jumped straight up.

"No, it's not, Erchen just thinks it'......" Li Chengqian was about to quibble, but after seeing his father's palms constantly opening and closing, he rationally chose to compromise: "Oh! The retainers obeyed. ”

"Alright, go back to your palace." was angry with Li Chengqian, and Lao Li had no interest in continuing to chat, and waved him out.

After this long talk, when Li Chengqian came out of the old man's study, he found that it was already late, rubbed his rumbling stomach, looked back at the old man's brightly lit study, and secretly sighed.

"Your Highness, shall we go back to the palace?" Yang Yuxin leaned over from the side and asked in a low voice.

"Go back, where can you go if you don't go back to the palace." Li Chengqian sighed.

I don't know when Li Chengqian found that he sighed more and more, and it seems that in the next 20 years or so, he did not sigh as many times as he does now in two days.

But soon he thought of another question, seemingly, likely, probably, probably...... I am a person who has a wife, and looking at this time, if there is no miscalculation, my wife should be waiting for me to go back.

Thinking of these...... Xiao Li, who was a little depressed, was on fire!
