Chapter 36: Fifty boards for one person
Li Yuan didn't deliberately favor Li Shimin, but the behavior of the crown prince and Li Chengzong privately transferring troops really angered him.
The result of this absurd thing is that each of them will play fifty boards, and it will be over.
Li Jiancheng was very angry, although he agreed with Li Chengzong's reckless move, but he was not satisfied with the result of this matter at all, and on the contrary, he was even more dissatisfied with the suspicion that caused Li Yuan.
Li Chengzong comforted: "Father, although we didn't take advantage of it this time, it also greatly destroyed the momentum of the Qin Palace. Besides, didn't Grandpa Huang blame us too much?"
"But my father must have taken precautions in his heart, and in the future, I will have to be even more cautious in the East Palace, walking on thin ice." Li Jiancheng said.
Do you think that if you don't do this, Li Yuan will be able to rest assured of you?
Li Chengzong thought so, but he didn't dare to say it so directly.
Li Chengzong said: "Father is relieved, just do what you did in the past and in the future." This time, although we committed the taboo of the imperial grandfather, it was also the second uncle of King Qin who caused trouble first, and a prince who did not dare to fight back may make the imperial grandfather even more dissatisfied, right?"
Don't dare to fight back? Although Li Jiancheng is indecisive, it is only a character flaw that does not affect his mental power.
Li Chengzong said this, I really don't notice it usually. For things, Li Jiancheng likes to calm things down, and his courage is obviously not enough.
Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "I hope so!"
Leaving the East Palace, Li Chengzong returned to his house and saw Zhu Bajie circling at the door from a distance.
"Why? Lose weight at the door of the house?" Li Chengzong joked.
"How can there be! Today, the merchant who rented the warehouse of our Qianniuzhuang came to visit. Zhu Bajie said.
Li Chengzong hurriedly said: "If they want to withdraw from the group, you can directly tell them that it is delusional." We have an agreement, and I can't rely on business if it's not good. ”
Zhu Bajie hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Lord Wang." They came in the hope of building a warehouse, and the current warehouse in Qianniuzhuang is not enough. ”
"And this kind of thing? Business is so good, huh?" Li Chengzong didn't expect it.
"The prince hasn't been there in recent months, so I don't know, but now as long as the goods are shipped from the north, almost all of them are in our warehouse. Those businessmen went to Chang'an to discuss business, and the negotiation was completed to pull the goods away from the warehouse for trading, saving a lot of trouble. ”
Li Chengzong thought to himself, this is another way to make a fortune!
"Tomorrow, you call all the merchants to our house, and this king will make a long-term development plan." Li Chengzong said.
Chang'an, the palace of the king of Qin.
A gloomy cloud is bleak, and it is really miserable and miserable.
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "This time is my responsibility, and even King Qin has lost face."
Fang Xuanling persuaded: "That's not the case, I'm afraid that the routine of the East Palace in the past can't be used." The crown prince lacks the courage to do things, but Li Chengzong, the king of Jin, is a person who is not afraid of big things. It is really unbelievable that he dared to incite the prince to mobilize troops. ”
A generation of Taizong spoke.
Li Shimin said: "I can't be led by Li Chengzong anymore, don't care about him in the future, doesn't he like to stay in the Jin Palace?" We'll ignore him, just let him stay. In the past, we cared too much about Li Chengzong, but we let ourselves be passive. ”
These words completely illustrate the point, just like the previous East Palace cared too much about Li Shimin. cares too much and even strikes with a trick, and doesn't want to lie about how perfect it is, it is still flawed, so he has been counterattacked by Li Shimin again and again. Now the Qin Wangfu is guilty of the same problem.
The eldest grandson Wuji is also really afraid, if he continues to play with Li Chengzong like this, maybe the Qin Wangfu will really be played to death.
In addition to a few palaces in Chang'an City, the most non-stop is the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Rui had just returned to Chang'an, and one thing after another made him thunderous on the outside and tender on the inside.
Xiao Yu said: "Tomorrow, you will go to the Jin Palace, and you will go with a generous gift."
"Father, King Jin, you don't still want to marry Qianniang to him, it's a little unrealistic, right?" Xiao Rui asked.
"You know what? In today's form, we already have a gap with King Qin, which cannot be made up for by saying a few words. But there was no big misunderstanding between us and the King of Jin, everything was just a conspiracy of the Qin Palace. I look at the King of Jin, not because of a small loss of mediocrity, as long as we lower our figure, the King of Jin will definitely be able to get rid of the previous suspicions. Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Rui is not a talented person, he has always been accustomed to listening to his father.
The next day, he came with a heavy gift, just in time for a group of merchants to come to the Jin Palace.
Xiao Rui thought to himself that it was no wonder that the King of Jin loved money and businessmen.
Zhu Bajie introduced Xiao Rui into the inner hall.
Seeing Li Chengzong, Xiao Rui was busy complaining about his grievances, and his mouth was full of condemnation of King Qin's lack of kindness and fooling Xiao Mansion to assassinate King Jin.
Li Chengzong really didn't blame Xiao Yu, this matter was too obvious, it couldn't be Xiao Yu who was looking for trouble for himself.
Li Chengzong was very polite and said: "When Xiao Gongzi goes back, just tell Lord Xiao that it is still clear who is not the king, and he will not blame the good people, let alone anger the Xiao Mansion."
Xiao Rui hurriedly thanked him, and then asked, "What about the marriage between the prince and Qianniang?"
"Hold it, it must be held, I will personally invite King Qin to participate, I don't believe that he will not die." Li Chengzong said viciously.
Xiao Rui got the guarantee and said goodbye to Li Chengzong.
The merchant in the front hall waited for a long time, but he didn't look in a hurry at all. Just kidding, King Jin personally received him, but he wouldn't leave until the day after tomorrow.
Li Chengzong came out and saw more than a dozen businessmen saluting him.
Li Chengzong waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite. This time, the king has summoned you to come here for important matters to discuss. ”
"Everything is as ordered by the King of Jin." It's the same as if they had discussed it in advance, and they said in unison.
Giving face like this, Li Chengzong was in a much better mood.
Li Chengzong said: "Several of them are people who have been merchants for many years, who can tell this king where the biggest risk of doing business now comes from?"
Several people looked at each other, and then one of the oldest stepped forward.
"Tell the prince that the biggest risk of doing business today is insecurity. If the goods are not good, we can still sell them at a loss, but if we encounter robbers and thieves, it is the worst thing to lose our money. In addition, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of the long-term melee has decreased sharply, the market is getting smaller and smaller, and the common people have no money in their hands, let alone take the money out to buy things. Now the best thing to sell is grain and salt, like we used to do some rouge gouache and antique ink treasure business is no longer good. ”
After listening to this, Li Chengzong said: "I see that you are not sincere enough, and you haven't finished your words, have you?"
"The villain doesn't dare." The old man was taken aback.
Li Chengzong said: "I didn't mean to blame you. What you said is very right but not complete, you didn't say anything about the layers of deductions of the government and the suppression of the family valve!"
I'm frightened, I'm afraid what King Jin wants to say today is not so simple.
At this time, a fat white businessman stepped forward.
What he had to say was······
