Chapter 1439: Eldest Sun Chong's New Position
Li Xiang already knew that the eldest grandson had rushed over, and he brought information about the Arab Empire, and this matter could not be explained in a few words, so he specially picked lunch time to go over to talk, it happened that the two had not seen each other for a long time, and Li Xiang also wanted to have a meal with the eldest grandson.
Although both of them are in the capital, but because of the busy official reasons, if the two of them want to have a meal, it is also a very difficult thing, and now the Tiance General's Mansion is almost responsible for all the important things in the entire Tang Dynasty, and Li Xiang's meal time is not long, today because he wants to talk about business by eating, so it can be extended.
"I've seen Your Highness."
was taken to the dining room at the back by Manager Xia, and the eldest grandson Chong was about to bow down, but was pulled up by Li Xiang.
"Why are there more rules after returning to Chang'an? It turns out that there don't seem to be so many rules when you are on the front line, and you don't know me as a person, if you worship like this every day, do you still want this waist? Sit down and have a cup of tea, and you'll be ready to eat soon. ”
Seeing that the eldest grandson Chong was going to salute himself, Li Xiang also had to sigh, Chang'an City is a place that changes people, when he was on the southern front that day, the eldest grandson Chong was also hooked up with Li Xiang, the two are not only the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also the relationship between relatives is also very close, both his cousin and his eldest brother.
"The court etiquette law cannot be abolished, it turns out that when we were on the front line, we were the biggest, and we could do whatever we wanted, although now it is in the dining room of the Tiance General's Mansion, but if it is seen, I will be treated for a big disrespectful sin tomorrow, and my whole family will be busy."
Changsun Chong also shook his head helplessly, he was not a person who obeyed the rules very much, but now he is in a high position, especially after Changsun Ze served as the protector of Annan, the whole family has reached a higher level, so Changsun Wuji also told these people that they must be solemn on any occasion, and no one can find a handle, otherwise it will be a disaster for the entire family.
In fact, when you are favored, no matter how many words are played in the imperial history, it is impossible to shake you at all, but if you fall out of favor, these things may be fatal, the eldest grandson Wuji has been an official in Chang'an City for so many years, and similar things can be said to have seen a lot, of course, you can't let your children and grandchildren make mistakes.
"It seems that my uncle should have explained to you, but I can rest assured that you should be what to do when you are in the front hall, after all, there are too many officials outside, but it doesn't matter here."
When Li Xiang spoke, the eldest grandson Yunyi had already brought the maid over, this was the niece of the eldest grandson Chong, and she could be regarded as the woman of the eldest grandson family in the Taisun Mansion.
"I've seen my uncle..."
Now Li Xiang's family is also very fierce in the open and secret, although some people seem harmless to humans and animals, but because of the huge interests behind it, the so-called former dynasty is connected to the harem, this sentence is not false at all.
The two big men drank wine is really tasteless, so Li Xiang asked the eldest grandson Yunyi to come over and pour the wine, first, to be able to meet his mother's family, and secondly, it is also a place for many people to chat, as for the so-called military affairs, the eldest grandson Yunyi has also heard about it since he was a child, and there will never be a traitor in such a family, let alone worry about the so-called leaks.
After a while, the meal was served, the three of them had a total of seven dishes and one soup, and the eldest grandson Chong was also used to this, taking some wealthy families in the capital as an example, such a meal was also a bit simple, but Li Xiang has always been like this, if there are only Li Xiang and the eldest grandson Yunyi at noon, then four dishes and one soup are enough.
According to Li Xiang, is there any use in eating so many good things? And it is not healthy, a person only needs to eat normally, most of them are some home-cooked meals, and there are not so many precious things, under the influence of Li Xiang, today's Chang'an City also has a thrifty style.
In fact, Li Xiang alone saves a limited amount of money, even if all of it is transported to the front line, it will not change anything, but if this trend blows all over Chang'an City, all the dignitaries and nobles are a little thrifty, then the money saved is not a small number, at least it can make tens of thousands of troops live for a year, this is definitely not a joke.
Of course, at this stage, this wind has not yet blown all over Chang'an City, only the subordinate officials of the Tiance General's Mansion are doing this, and others still feel that it is more important to enjoy it, after all, thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and there are many officials who have money in their families, and they can't manage the heavens and the earth to manage their own food and drink, right?
"Let's have a drink first, it's been a long time since we've had a drink together."
Although Li Xiang is still young now, but after sitting in Chang'an, he always feels that his sharpness is a lot less, if this continues, Li Xiang really has to save himself well, and become the original decisive teenager, if he enters middle and old age in advance, it will not be good for the current Tang Empire.
When Li Shimin did not ascend the throne and became the emperor, he was also a high-spirited young man, as long as one of them was not good, he would immediately send troops to fight, but after becoming the emperor, all he considered was firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Now that the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Empire is thriving, Li Xiang also knows that it is a good time to expand, if it is because of the change of his personality that the Tang Empire loses this good opportunity, then he is really a sinner in history.
The two drank a glass of wine together, the eldest grandson Yunyi served Li Xiang, sandwiched the food into Li Xiang's bowl, and the maid next to him also served the eldest grandson Chong, this is what the aristocratic son of the feudal society should do.
"There are a lot of things going on in Chang'an City, and it's not so easy to drink, but it's much safer than the front line."
Changsun Chong also told the truth, although there are often swords and swords in Chang'an City, but compared with the front line, after all, there are still a lot of benefits, at least you don't need to worry about arrows shooting from behind.
"I heard that you are here for the affairs of the Arab Empire, have you sent back any news from the secret agents we arranged?"
Three glasses of wine, this foreshadowing is almost over, now we have to talk about the Arab Empire.
