When Yang Shidao came to Dingxiang, he came with a gift, at least, Li Kuan received a good gift.

Playing with the bronze cup that Yang Shidao gave him, Li Kuan asked with a smile: "To be honest, I don't know the reason why you gave me a gift at all. ”

Yang Shidao laughed softly and said lightly: "To be honest, I don't know, but I heard those idlers in Chang'an City say that as long as you give a gift to the King of Chu, it will be smooth sailing next. ”

These words made Li Kuan couldn't help laughing, it was really interesting, and he couldn't help but quip: "Are these words saying in disguise that I am no longer a noble Chang'an royal family, but a down-and-out local prince?" ”

Li Kuan's words were full of ridicule, but Yang Shidao's eyes gradually became solemn and did not answer.

Li Kuan also guessed a little bit about this situation.

It has been several years since he left Chang'an City, although the industry of the Chu Wangfu is getting bigger and bigger, and he knows more and more bigwigs, but he has indeed stayed away from Chang'an.

Shaking his head, Li Kuan put down the bronze cup in his hand and said casually: "If this is the only news you want to tell me, then I have received it, and you can leave." ”

The eviction order did not work on Yang Shidao, and Lao Yang smiled and continued: "King Chu, don't be too anxious, I still haven't said a word. ”

"What's the matter?" After asking, Li Kuan regretted it a little, this Yang Shidao looks very yin, the best way to deal with this kind of person is to ignore him.

"When I left Chang'an City, I heard that the King of Chu was very similar to His Majesty back then, he was stationed outside all the year round, and he could have a good relationship with anyone."

These words made Li Kuan's eyes sink slightly, interesting, is this an allusion that he is very similar to Li Shimin?

Sneered a few times, Li Kuan said casually: "For this kind of rumor, I can only say that the King of Qin swept Liuhe, looked at He Xiongzhi, waved his sword to fight the floating clouds, and the princes came to the west." ”

Li Kuan's words made Yang Shidao praise a good poem, and then arched his hand and turned to leave.

Yang Shidao already understood what Li Kuan meant, it was very simple, His Majesty was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period and was majestic, who could resist?

Anyway, he, Li Kuan, felt that he didn't dare to resist.

Seeing Yang Shidao leave, Li Kuan sat alone in the living room, and soon after, Li Hai walked in.

Looking at Li Hai, Li Kuan showed a tired look and said in a deep voice: "How? ”

Li Hai lowered his head and said in a murderous voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, there are people running on our business in various places, and some people have put on an attitude of being merciful and buying us. ”

Hehe laughed twice, Li Kuan said disdainfully: "A group of young people, there is no big deal, since they want our family's business in various places, then sell it to them." ”

Lehi was shocked by Li Kuan's words, what was going on.

You didn't say that before, how could you see Yang Shidao once, and you changed your mind.

Could it be that Yang Shidao brought some bad news?

After thinking for a long time, Li Hai still asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, why are you doing this?" Didn't you say before that you would deter those jackals who dared to peek into the property of our Chu Palace? ”

The business of the Chu Wangfu, before Yang Shidao came, after the Turkic War, was suppressed in various places, or it was a run on the same industry.

Except for the industry in Chunju, which has not been greatly affected, the rest have been more or less affected.

Before Yang Shidao came, Li Kuan gave Li Hai an order to suppress a wave of them.

Now Li Kuan suddenly wants to sell off those assets that have been run, and the change is too fast, so that Li Hai's thinking has not changed.

Li Kuan frowned and said, "Yang Shidao just said that in Chang'an City, there are rumors that I am very similar to His Majesty when I was young, and I left home at a young age and was stationed outside every day. ”

These words made Lehi gasp, and he couldn't help but scold: "Which bastard is this who is spreading rumors, aren't they afraid of rotten tongues." ”

Li Hai is not a fool, he heard the other party's intentions at once, this is a naked attempt to provoke the relationship between Li Kuan and Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin can be jealous of them.

Li Kuan waved his hand, signaling Li Hai not to be too angry, and said casually: "No matter what they want to do, we will continue." ”

"Don't they want a business in the corners? Then give it to them, and we will shrink a wave of tentacles, anyway, they can't run on the real core industries of our family. ”

"Let them have a wave of ambition first."

Li Hai still felt aggrieved, they had a lot of corner industries in the Chu Palace, and those shops were all physical industries, and they were all very profitable.

"Sell all those industries, those industries are no longer important, and then you write a letter to Uncle Yi, and ask him to get out the entertainment newspaper industry I mentioned before, the partner is Uncle Chai Shao, and it just so happens that Uncle has been bored in Chang'an recently."

Li Kuan commanded.

Chai Shao returned to Chang'an to report after fighting the Turks, as far as Li Kuan knew, Chai Shao had nothing to do recently, and he was wandering around Chang'an City all day.

Since this is the case, it is better to help him do something, anyway, Chai Shao still owes others a favor and has not repaid.

Lehi was ordered to retreat, and he listened to Li Kuan.

When he was the only one left in the entire living room, Li Kuan's mood was very complicated.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Kuan, who was thirteen years old, felt the danger of being a royal family.

Today, Yang Shidao's words are thinking deeply and telling him, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, although you have already hid in Dingxiang, and with the expansion of the border of the Tang Dynasty, you are hiding farther and farther, but it is useless, there are still people who look at you unpleasantly.

If he just heard this alone, Li Kuan didn't care, but this was accompanied by his business being squeezed, so Li Kuan had to think about it.

"Who could it be?"

"In the entire Tang Dynasty, there are only a few people who can help the prince calculate himself, and there are even fewer people who can squeeze my industry at the same time in various places."

"But they shouldn't be suppressed, I guess right."

Li Kuan's mind had the names of Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others.

In the end, they all denied the past.

When Li Kuan thought of Du Ruhui, he couldn't help but complain: "This old Du didn't die in Zhenguan for four years as in history, should you thank me." ”

Li Kuan didn't know what illness Lao Du had, anyway, he didn't get cured for a long time, and finally was cured by an ambulance soldier from a battlefield hospital, which was a coincidence.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Kuan didn't think about it, but he felt that he was more or less lonely and miserable, and he didn't even have a staff officer when he encountered something.

"Xu Jingzong is a person from my side, but he is still feeding mosquitoes in Lingnan, and I don't know what is happening now."

Thinking of Lao Xu, Li Kuan couldn't help but miss his days in Lingnan, at that time, he could discuss anything with Xu Jingzong.

And Xu Jingzong was packing his bags at this time, preparing to embark on the road to Dingxiang.

With Chang'an's order, Xu Jingzong was more or less confused, how could he suddenly be transferred to Dingxiang, it was really strange.

"I'm ready to work in Chunzhou for more than ten years, why did you suddenly transfer me to Dingxiang?"

If it weren't for the fact that the person who took over was his former subordinate Xu Jingzong, who was also one of the county orders under Chunzhou, or his subordinate approved by Xu Jingzong, Xu Jingzong felt that someone was planning to plot Chunzhou, Li Kuan's territory.

After remembering Xu Jingzong, Li Kuan still had to work hard.

He has a lot of work in Dingxiang.
