Chapter 403: Rule by Inaction
East Palace
After returning from the emperor, Li Chengqian asked people to prepare a few side dishes, Li Xiang went to meet his mother, talked about things on the plateau, and then the two of them prepared to have a few drinks.
After Li Xiang left Chang'an City, everything here was supported by Li Chengqian, although there were still a group of capable shopkeepers under him, but these people had to listen to Li Chengqian, and Li Xiang could be regarded as seeing that his father was definitely a capable person.
Take this grain incident as an example, if it weren't for Li Chengqian's involvement, how could he have notified the major families so quickly, of course, the major families could not have been so obedient, it must have been Li Chengqian doing some work behind the scenes, Li Xiang's strength is the foundation, and how to maximize these influences in the end, Li Chengqian's contribution is indispensable.
"Don't blame your grandfather, he thinks a little too much, our eyes are that position, his eyes are the entire Tang Dynasty, you have threatened his position recently, if I change my position, maybe I will also support other people."
Li Chengqian drank a glass of wine alone first, and then thought about it a little, or said these words, when he heard this, Li Xiang still felt a little strange, he thought he was going to comfort this father, but he didn't expect Li Chengqian to think about it a long time ago.
"What should I do according to my father's wishes?"
Li Xiang was also interested at this time, to see how Li Chengqian arranged for himself, after all, Li Chengqian's previous talent was extremely limited, but to be able to become the prince in the Tang Dynasty, can he be an ordinary person?
"Continue to do what you have to do, do the best what your grandfather taught you, the common people and the ministers of the world are watching, their eyes are not in the sand, they can see everything you do very clearly, who should sit in that position, they know better than anyone else, once the day comes to the day when the world returns, your grandfather will not be able to stop it."
Li Chengqian's statement is to put it bluntly, Li Xiang has never thought about it before, but judging from the current situation, this is undoubtedly not a good method, when Li Xiang was just reborn, he also wanted to pull a group of people into the car, but except for the eldest grandson Wuji who pulled it up with a strategy, didn't the others also stand in line?
But then the situation was different, especially after Tuyuhun finished the battle, many senior generals of the Tang Dynasty military began to lean over, although there are many people who have not yet made it clear, but one thing is certain, as long as Li Xiang does not make a big mistake, these people will always follow Li Xiang in the future, plus the help of those soldiers in the system, Li Xiang is really not in a hurry to take the Tang Dynasty, even if Li Shimin stipulates other heirs, but can he inherit it?
"It seems that my father has not been idle these days, and he has been observing everyone in Chang'an City, but my third uncle is a little pitiful, and he was pushed out by my grandfather to fight with me, and in the end there was nothing."
Thinking of the poor King Wu, Li Xiang was also embarrassed in his heart, according to Li Xiang's original steps, King Wu would be a good helper in the future, but now he was pushed out by Li Shimin, even if Li Xiang had the heart to promote him, it was impossible now, everyone has their own desires, and the name of a general who conquered the east, King Wu is estimated to have fallen.
"That's also his own path, in fact, from the day he was born, he was destined to be a tragic character, with the blood of the emperor of the previous dynasty, many people say that it is unspeakably expensive, but is this really the case? Will the ministers of this dynasty let him go away? ”
Li Chengqian had already seen this younger brother clearly, so when he was competing for the position of the crown prince, no matter how good Li Ke, the king of Wu, performed, Li Chengqian did not regard this person as his opponent, but Li Tai, the king of Wei with the same father and mother, was his opponent, but unfortunately, from the current point of view, it was simply a pediatric at that time.
"Is it okay for me to go over and try to persuade my third uncle to ......?"
Li Xiang also really cherishes his talents, if Li Ke, the king of Wu, gives up fighting for the throne, he will definitely be able to become Li Xiang's good helper in the future, this person is indeed capable of literature and martial arts, and the future Tang Dynasty will also need such a person.
"I said son, how can you say that you are also a smart person, why are you a little confused at this time? How attractive is that location? Do you need me to repeat it for you? No one can resist such a big temptation, as long as there is such a glimmer of opportunity to go up, no one will give up, what do you mean by running over now? That will make your third uncle farther and farther away from us. ”
Li Xiang is indeed concerned about chaos, after hearing Li Chengqian's words, it is really like this, if Li Xiang runs over to persuade King Wu to do less things, then what will King Wu think in his heart? are all good boys, can't I do what you Li Xiang can do? Since you say that, then I have to prove it to you.
The conflict itself may not be big, but now because Li Xiang ran over and said it, then this matter may be amplified unlimitedly, and the root cause will be buried in the future, no matter who says it from it, I am afraid that it will not be able to get over it.
"What about me?"
"Stay in the East Palace honestly, go to your father-in-law tomorrow, and then drink with whomever you want, do whatever you have to do, wait for the day when the army goes out, I will definitely stay and supervise the country, what is going on on the road, it depends on your grandfather."
Speaking of this matter, Li Chengqian actually gained the most, it turned out that not to mention the prison country, even a serious thing has nothing to do with him, now the emperor is going to go east to Goguryeo, Chang'an City is naturally the crown prince in the country, this matter has been decided, the eldest grandson Wuji has already sent someone to deliver the letter, this is also a big step for Li Chengqian to restore his rights.
In a sense, the growth of Li Chengqian's power can also be regarded as a kind of harvest for Li Xiang, but Li Chengqian's son is not Li Xiang alone, Li Chengqian had no way before, so he regarded Li Xiang as his only way, but if Li Chengqian restores the rights of the prince, it is not certain who will be more disgraced by Li Xiang in the future.
Of course, Li Xiang is not afraid of any challenge, since it is already in this era, we have to mix it well, we must not embarrass the traverser, or not, we don't want to be so much, honestly go back to rest, what should we do tomorrow!
