Chapter 420: Dealing with the Xiao Family
The night when I slept in the East Palace would always be very sound, because I didn't have to think about other issues, when Li Xiang woke up, Miss Mengling had already prepared everything that should be prepared, so she only needed to half-close her eyes and let the maids around her help.
Originally, Li Xiang was not suitable for the decadent life of this feudal society, but after a long time of rebirth, Li Xiang became more and more adaptable, at this moment Li Xiang was like a piece of wood, and then let the palace maids push forward, wearing clothes in a daze, washing his face in a daze, opening his mouth in a daze, and then Miss Mengling helped Li Xiang brush his teeth with her shallot-like fingers.
There was no toothbrush in this era, and brushing teeth with other people's fingers was a terrible thing in modern society, but Miss Mengling's fingers were weak and boneless, and Li Xiang adapted to it after being thin and long a few times.
Originally, Li Xiang still wanted to develop toothpaste, but now many businesses are underway, and it has not yet reached its peak, so this matter will be put aside for the time being, and it will be slowly launched in the future.
"Your Highness......"
When Li Xiang was halfway through breakfast, Qian Ping had already come in through the door, and it should have been a series of actions yesterday.
Li Xiang will not come to visit, and in such a light past, Xiao Yu's old guy will not give Li Xiang face, after all, for Xiao Yu, supporting King Wu to the front desk may be the most important thing in his life.
If we don't show some strength, how can the other party change his most important decision? So Li Xiang took another way, I will make you bad on the side, and when you can't bear it, you have to come and talk about it yourself.
What Qian Ping said was the same as what Li Xiang thought, today is not the day of the last dynasty, so when the palace gate opened, Xiao Yu came over in a sedan chair, after all, he was the former prime minister, so he didn't need so many cumbersome regulations to enter the palace, I thought I was going to see the emperor, who knew that I was coming to visit His Royal Highness.
"Clean up and invite Prime Minister Xiao Cheng in."
Although Xiao Yu is no longer the prime minister, according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, as long as you have been the prime minister for a year, then it is not an exaggeration for others to call you so, after all, in this era, the prime minister is almost equivalent to the vice emperor, and the power in the hands of the prime minister is still very large, until the Qing Dynasty, the power in the hands of the prime minister has been in the hands of the emperor, and the power has become dispensable.
"Come to visit early in the morning and disturb His Royal Highness Taisun."
Although Xiao Yu didn't sleep all night, he was still in good spirits, although he also knew that Li Xiang was not easy to mess with, but after all, he was a small character, Xiao Yu felt that he could still handle Li Xiang.
"What is the old prime minister talking about, the old prime minister can come to me, this is already a flourishing thing, the old prime minister, please take a seat."
Li Xiang has been saying three old words, and everyone who can hear it can hear it, that is, your age is not young, it is better to care for the elderly at home, if you want to come out to call for wind and rain, then you have to look at your age, this is no longer your world back then.
Xiao Yu is a smart person, of course he heard the voiceover in Li Xiang's words, but Xiao Yu will not give in like this, and the Xiao family in Lanling will not give in like this.
The major families will encounter one or two excellent opportunities in the process of growth, and whenever they encounter such opportunities, of course, they will also encounter certain troubles, if there is a certain amount of trouble that can make you retreat, then your family deserves to be buried in the long river of history.
"The old man came to His Highness today, it is also a little trivial, in fact, he shouldn't have come over because of this matter, but it is related to a private matter of the old man, so I want to ask His Highness to raise his noble hand."
Xiao Yu waved his finger at the door when he spoke, and the shopkeeper Liu came in from the outside, and after seeing this scene, Li Xiang also understood what it meant, you are here to beg for help, but you are not willing to open your mouth in person.
What kind of person is Xiao Yu? Li Xiang can see it clearly now, the representative of the old nobles, the representative of the remnants of the previous dynasty, obviously has no rights now, but he still has to pretend to be high at home, now even if Li Xiang has taken its seven inches, but Xiao Yu has not shown it, but wants to sell an old face, but your old face is not to mention that it is here in Li Xiang, even in front of many new nobles outside, I'm afraid it won't be a problem, right?
Shopkeeper Liu said his own words, Li Xiang sneered in his heart, Since you regard this as a commercial behavior, then I also regard this as a commercial behavior, let's play Tai Chi with each other.
Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to use the money, although the imperial court announced that it was going to go east to Goguryeo, but according to Li Xiang's investigation, it is not ready yet, and it will take at least seven or eight days for the army to set out.
In these seven or eight days, we are not in a hurry anyway, but it is not necessarily on King Wu's side, he needs to scatter a wave of money in these seven or eight days, these money may not be useful, but it must be sprinkled, this is also an unwritten rule within the army, if you collect money, you have to do things, if you don't do things after collecting money, then these people don't want to go to other ships in the future.
"I understand this, you go and find our big shopkeeper, I told him in person, the prime minister has already arrived at us, don't hurry up and release the money, he is getting more and more tasteful as the big shopkeeper."
Li Xiang put on a very stern look, and he was ready to scold the big shopkeeper under his hand, and Qian Ping was also hurried to convey the order next to him, but Xiao Yu's heart was not very happy, it was obviously a matter of one sentence, you just need to say to your big shopkeeper, and he would release the money immediately, but now you have to find the big shopkeeper, this is obviously trying to rip off!
"Your Highness has so many things every day, and now that the imperial court is going to go to Goguryeo, it is better to send someone to him directly to say a word, why bother tossing back and forth, I am also a trivial matter, if it is not related to the days of thousands of people in the Xiao family in Lanling, I will not open my mouth to make trouble for His Highness at this time."
Xiao Yu said tentatively, to see if Li Xiang really wanted to solve the problem for him, if he really wanted to solve the problem for him, he should chase Qian Ping back at the moment, just say a word to do things, there is no need to toss for so long......
