Chapter 1222: Find You a Place to Eat
Seeing Li Xiang's surprised appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji finally won back a game in his heart, since the last time Li Xiang came back, the eldest grandson Wuji no longer treats Li Xiang as a child, and for a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji has treated Li Xiang as an equal to himself.
"You haven't been there Cui Sanye for a long time, you can achieve such an achievement now, Cui Sanye also contributed, although the five surnames and Qiwang can't raise their heads after being suppressed by you, but they still have huge power, and now Cui Sanye has been able to integrate them, so you go to Cui Sanye to eat."
As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji said this, Li Xiang immediately understood what was going on, thinking about when he went out to Tuguhun, the five surnames and seven hopes were still like a mountain on his body, if there were no successive victories in foreign wars, the five surnames and seven wangs would probably not take Li Xiang in his eyes, after all, they were all able to harden the existence of Li Shimin, so they really didn't pay much attention to a grandson of the Tang Dynasty.
But it was because of their contempt that Li Xiang was given a chance to rise, and in successive foreign wars, Li Xiang won one victory after another, which also led to a sharp rise in Li Xiang's prestige.
At the same time as Li Xiang's prestige rose, Zhizhibao appeared out of thin air, whether it was the external credit business and money saving business, or the various rare and strange things distributed by Zhizhibao, all of which amassed a large amount of wealth for Li Xiang, resulting in a serious concentration of social wealth.
Coupled with Li Xiang's combination boxing later, the five surnames and Qiwang gradually lost their advantages, although they still have huge strength in the local area, but in this Chang'an City, they cannot be said to be insignificant, but it is impossible to continue to fight with Li Xiang.
"Since the power of the five surnames and seven hopes is declining now, why don't you solve them together?"
Li Xiang said a little strangely, the eldest grandson Wuji and the five surnamed Qiwang should be mortal enemies, and the eldest grandson Wuji suffered a lot in their hands, because the eldest grandson Wuji is also the first wealthy family in the imperial court, so the five surnames and seven wangs also regarded him as a target, and they came to educate the eldest grandson family on how to behave at every turn.
"Several families for hundreds of years, for the time being, we don't have all of them, if you do it now, I estimate that there is an eighty percent chance of winning, but the problem is that there are still two percent not in our hands, these two percent may be related to millions or even millions of people, can you bet?"
The words of the eldest grandson Wuji smashed into Li Xiang's heart like a hammer, and after the victory of the Eastern Expedition to Fusang, Li Xiang did feel that his heart was a little floating, if it continued like this, it would really not be a good thing.
"Thank you uncle for your teachings."
Li Xiang stood up solemnly and saluted, the eldest grandson Wuji was also satisfied, there are not many places that can help Li Xiang after nodding, this child is becoming more and more mature, but it is no problem to help him master the scale.
"Cui Sanye has always cooperated with you, and it won't cause too much fluctuation if you go to eat at him, and at the same time, it will also give a signal to the other people with the five surnames and seven hopes, that is, we don't want to tear our faces with them, maybe we will maintain the current situation, and after a few years, the trend of the imperial examination will slowly begin to mature, then you can replace the people in their family, of course, it is still what you said, if you have the ability, you can continue to use it if you are loyal to Datang."
The eldest grandson Wuji is also helpless to do this, the five surnames are intertwined, and many of the people in the local yamen of the imperial court are their people, and even many of them are hidden, compared to those that have been exposed, what is hidden is the most terrifying.
After leaving the eldest grandson's house, Li Xiang also understood one thing, the eldest grandson Wuji was not in a hurry to do something, but let himself and Cui Sanye eat this meal, and he had to eat vigorously, so that the people with the five surnames and seven wangs knew that they would not take risks and affect Lao Tzu's southward expansion plan.
When he left this street, Li Xiang was still grateful to the eldest grandson Wuji in his heart, from a historical point of view, many people said that the eldest grandson Wuji was a yin person, but from Li Xiang's point of view, the eldest grandson's family really helped him a lot, the two sons helped the war in the south, the eldest grandson Wuji helped Li Xiang strategize, and the eldest grandson Huanting ......
Not to mention, maybe someone else can give birth to a child for you, such a kindness is really unrepayable.
Cui Sanye found the eldest grandson Wuji here before, the first few times Li Xiang returned to Beijing, although the two sides also exchanged letters, but now the elder and young of the court are becoming more and more serious, although Cui Sanye has become the head of the Cui family, but when facing Li Xiang, Cui Sanye still feels half a head shorter.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the patriarch of the family with the surname of Qiwang was almost on an equal footing with Li Shimin, but now he no longer has that prestige, whether it is in the court or in the Shilin, they have already taken a back seat.
This time Li Xiang came to the Cui family in the capital with great fanfare, and the people in the capital were also very curious, if Li Xiang came here two years ago, it would have to be said to be a visit, and now the Cui family is weak, what is Li Xiang doing here?
Except for Cui Sanye, Li Xiang didn't see a single acquaintance here, it seems that the original acquaintances are no longer in the capital, Cui Sanye is also old and strong, and he can control the direction for the entire Cui family, which is not easy.
"The grass people ask His Royal Highness the grandson to ......"
What made Li Xiang feel strange was that Cui Sanye didn't wait for Li Xiang to get off the carriage, and directly led everyone in the Cui family to kneel, which was also a disguised allegiance to Li Xiang, and said that the five surnames and seven hopes, there were no more things like before, when Li Xiang came to visit in the past, at most, some juniors of the Cui family knelt, and those in power like Cui Sanye would never kneel.
"Third Master, what are you doing? We are all friends, if you kneel at every turn, then there is really no way to chat, this king will decree today that I can't care about other royal relatives, and if the third master sees me kneeling in the future, I will immediately turn around and leave. ”
Li Xiang is also a very good person, it turned out that when I asked you to kneel, you didn't kneel, I lost face at that time, and now you want to kneel, I won't let you kneel, but it is you who lose face.
However, Cui Sanye is also very satisfied at the moment, after Li Xiang's words, the glory of the Cui family can last for a while, His Royal Highness Taisun does not kneel there, are other local officials embarrassed to let us kneel?
