Chapter 198: Be a chaebol
Although Li Xiang was a little disgusted by Li Shimin's small actions, he could also express his understanding.
After all, this is for the entire Tang Dynasty, if Li Xiang expresses his dissatisfaction now, he may find an opportunity for some ill-intentioned people, and they may also provoke Li Xiang to do some stupid things, just a small action, then it can make the grandfather and grandson turn against each other.
The reason why Li Shimin did not let Li Xiang continue to stay in Tuyuhun was that he actually had his own ideas, that is, to separate Li Xiang from the army, and try not to let Li Xiang establish his own image in the army.
"Father-in-Ama, you haven't slept yet?"
Li Xiang saw that the lights were still on in Li Chengqian's hall, and Qian Ping was standing at the door.
"Master has been waiting for you!"
Qian Ping hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and after coming back, the father and son had no chance to speak at all except for a few words in the car, so no matter how late it was tonight, Li Chengqian had to wait for his son.
Because his mother served the imperial concubine and went to the royal garden outside the city, Li Chengqian was the only one in the hall.
After the father and son met, Li Chengqian asked the people in the house to withdraw, and let Li Xiang's people take care of the entire hall, Li Chengqian didn't even believe in the East Palace guards, after all, he had suffered enough losses from them in the early years, obviously this person had done a lot of secret things for you, you thought he was your person, but as a result, a lot of secret things were spread out like this.
However, Li Xiang's subordinates can be absolutely trusted, whenever the father and son have something important to discuss, basically Li Xiang's people are on duty, and nothing has ever been passed out, which is also the envy of Li Chengqian, your kid is only fourteen years old, where did you get so many obedient people? Could it be that your grandmother left it to you?
Of course, today's situation is urgent, and it is not the time for Li Chengqian to gossip.
Li Chengqian was anxious to understand the emperor's dynamics, and Li Xiang had nothing to hide, after all, in the next few days, Li Xiang would definitely stay at home often, and he would not be able to hide it when the time came.
"That's right......"
After listening to Li Xiang's words, Li Chengqian came up with this sentence, according to Li Xiang's understanding of his father, the emperor took his own military power, and his father should be extremely angry, but how could he see it so clearly?
"Why did my father say that?"
Li Xiang said with some doubts, it was really Li Chengqian's performance that was too abnormal.
"Do you think your grandfather loves you, of course he really loves you, among all the emperors and grandchildren, you should be regarded as the first person, even if all the princes are counted, there is no more than yours, but you still have to understand a truth, you are compared with all the princes and grandchildren, you can stand in the front, but if you compare with the Tang Dynasty, then no one can cross the past."
Li Chengqian is the one who has been the crown prince in the end, so he got to the point in one sentence, Li Xiang is indeed the emperor's favorite heir, but it is not yet time to hand over the country to you, so you have to be honest.
"What the father said is extremely true, so the son has no excuse and is ready to recuperate at home."
Li Xiang showed a smile on his face, seeing Li Xiang do this, Li Chengqian was also relieved, back then he was disgusted by the emperor because he couldn't understand this, and he always felt that he was the emperor's heir, then Jiangshan is our grandfather's, in fact, it's really not the case, when you have a covetous heart for Jiangshan, then you are standing on the opposite side of the emperor.
No one is as important as him! This is a sentence that Li Chengqian has felt over the years.
"There's nothing wrong with you resting at home, your second uncle and your ninth uncle are all disgraced now, and they don't have much power in the court one by one, especially your ninth uncle, who locked himself in the house and didn't go out after he came back."
If in the past, his son was idle at home, Li Chengqian might be very nervous, because there are so many resources in the imperial court, if his son is not moving around in the officialdom, then it is very likely that someone will divide his son's territory, but now the two younger brothers are gone, and even if others stretch out their hands, they will not have a chance to inherit the throne.
Li Xiang nodded beside him, he actually didn't approve of it in his heart, since Tuyuhun's big victory, Li Xiang didn't regard these two uncles as his opponents, because the two of them didn't deserve to be his opponents, but Li Chengqian's eyes only had these younger brothers, which may be the difference between father and son.
"My son is ready to do a big job this time, of course not in the political situation of the imperial court, my son is ready to do a big job in business, although it will not be able to control the economic lifeline of the entire Tang Dynasty, but we must also have enough bargaining chips."
On the way back, Li Xiang thought about it, since there is no way to expand his power in the army, then stop for the time being, as for the thousands of troops exchanged, Li Xiang is not worried that these people will betray him, and he will not have any contact with them on the surface, and he is still their commander at the critical moment, isn't this what Li Xiang wanted to do before?
"Son, what are you going to do? Your current business strength is not weak, Zhizhibao has been opened all over the country, there is a lot of water every day, and what kind of complex is the hotel you want to make, which has been built in several major cities across the country. ”
Whenever Li Xiang is ambitious, Li Chengqian feels a little scared, it is really that all the ideas of his son are too advanced, and every time he puts it into practice, he immediately becomes the biggest star in Datang, making money Li Chengqian is hopeful, and when the amount of money that can be earned reaches a number, Li Chengqian feels scared.
"That's just the beginning, the reason why I don't let you save money and spend all the money you earn is to expand our influence, why do the major families have so much influence in various places? It is because they have enough money, although many people in power have said that money cannot determine everything, but what I want to say is that they do not have enough money, and the economic base determines the superstructure, which is by no means just talk. ”
Li Xiang said very confidently, how can ordinary people understand the world of various consortia and chaebols? Li Chengqian was a little confused beside him, what is called the economic base determines the superstructure, this kid went to Tuyuhun, is his brain stupid?
