Chapter 1374 Ending for Li Shimin

To be honest, after Changsun rushed back, he felt really uncomfortable. He was already a general commanding the army, and the deputy position of the Inspectorate was not bad, but he was not willing to take it.

Everyone has their own ideals, and achieving the position of general based on their own ideals is of course the best result. If they can conquer the south, they will be at the level of Cheng Yaojin in the future. In the empire It is also famous internally.

But I didn't expect that just when I was about to accumulate merit, the emperor directly pulled you back with an imperial edict. There was no room for negotiation and no news was heard beforehand. The reason was because your niece was pregnant with a dragon seed.

For other families, this kind of thing is the icing on the cake. After all, the Changsun family is already the first family, but for the people within them, this is of no benefit at all. All aspects have to be reduced, which will cause suppression from the royal family. .

Isn’t this suppression coming now? Although Changsun Wuji was not suppressed in any way and was still responsible for the previous affairs, Changsun Chong was no longer the same. He had to hand over his military power and return to the capital as a civil servant as soon as possible.

On the surface, it seems that the two brothers' civil and military coordination has improved compared to before, but in fact, only they understand the situation. Changsun Ze has no way to take charge of his own affairs. He can only be responsible for attacking cities and territories. If he wants to manage the place, his ability is really limited. .

Therefore, in the near future, the Changsun family is likely to weaken. Of course, even if it weakens, it will still be a hundred-footed insect that will not die. It will still have its own status in Chang'an City, just because there are two Li Xiangs in the family. Children, this is not a trivial matter. Who dares to look down on them? What's more, the help that the elder Sun Wuji gave to Li Xiang earlier can be seen with the naked eye. Li Xiang is not an ungrateful person and will never let the elder Sun's family weaken.

It is because Changsun Wuji understands this that he has nothing to worry about. Li Shimin can do whatever he wants. All of us in the Changsun family obey, but it makes Li Shimin embarrassed to take the second step. After all, Changsun Wuji is His brother-in-law also gave him a lot of help. If Changsun Wuji hadn't made suggestions, including the Xuanwumen Incident, many things might not have turned out this way.

The result now should be the best. The only bad thing is that Changsun Chong is a straight-tempered guy and may not be able to think about it in his heart, so Li Xiang has to come over for a drink. According to the previous relationship, Changsun Chong returned When he arrived in the capital, he would definitely report to Li Xiang, but now that such a long time has passed, Changsun Chong has not shown up, which shows that he is indeed feeling uncomfortable.

At this moment, Changsun Chong was sitting in the sedan at the bar. He was not energetic at all. You must know that he was riding a war horse on the front line. Whatever he wanted to do could be done in a flash. But now that he has become the deputy of the Inspectorate, he will be unable to do anything in the future. It means that the court must be steady, and now that he is a civil servant, riding a horse is not impossible, but it seems too unique.

So under Changsun Wuji's persuasion, this guy could only start making a sedan. This thing could shake out his thread every day, and the speed was not fast. This really made Changsun Chong extremely depressed.

"Young Master, I have sent someone to deliver a message. His Royal Highness the Grandson is going to have dinner at our house tonight. I want you to go back as soon as possible."

After hearing what his subordinates said, Changsun Chong had an unknown expression on his face. Li Xiang still chose to see him, which made Changsun Chong feel a little uncomfortable. He was obviously a minister, so he should have gone to see Li Xiang first. Nowadays, I feel unhappy, living in this kind of depression every day, and asking others to come and relieve me.

This is Li Xiang. How could anyone in power care about the thoughts of one of your subordinates? What's more, the arrangement for you is not bad. If you are not satisfied, then just resign. There are plenty of places for you to stay by yourself, let alone the deputy position of the Inspectorate. I don't know how many people want this position. .

"Then you can tell the kitchen to prepare some dishes according to His Highness's preference. There won't be too many people at night, as long as my father and I are here."

Changsun Chong knew Li Xiang's character and didn't like extravagance, let alone grand banquets. The father and son had a glass of wine with Li Xiang, and the matter was over. If too many people were called, then On the contrary, there is something bad about it.

This is also where Li Xiang admired Changsun Chong. If it were someone else who was transferred from the front line, he would definitely take this opportunity to throw a banquet to let the entire Chang'an City understand that although I have returned from the front line, I am still the emperor's grandson. Those who are close to His Highness, if you people have other ideas, then don’t blame me for being rude to you.

Of course, if Changsun Chong does this, Li Xiang will definitely give him face. The people in Chang'an City are all people in the vanity fair. What they are best at doing is to suppress the low and praise the high, so if you give Changsun Chong this face, then This is equivalent to giving face to his two wives.

When Li Xiang came to Changsun Mansion, there were not many people at the door. It was still the same as before. Li Xiang brought Changsun Yunyi over at this time, and there was not much extravagance.

"My cousin has a look of displeasure on his face. It's obvious that he has objections to my grandfather's arrangements. However, I can't do much for you on this matter. I can only bring two more jars of good wine. Let's go tonight Have a few more drinks.”

Li Xiang came out of the sedan, and without waiting for Changsun to kneel down, he quickly helped the man up, and pointed to the jars of fine wine behind him and said, "These are the highest-end treasures, even if they are The dignitaries of Chang'an City had to wait in line to buy.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Since we are doing things for the imperial court, we have to listen to the imperial court's orders. Without the emperor's grace, how could my eldest son, Sun Chong, be where he is today? But there are some things that your highness can't do. As I said, I’m going to have a few more drinks tonight, and if I can get His Highness to leave this table, it’s my fault.”

When Changsun Chong saw Li Xiang, he suddenly felt that Li Xiang had a natural appeal. Instead of using the official title, he called himself cousin for the first time. This was a title he had not seen for a long time. .

The group of people walked in happily, and the man in black also sent the news back to the palace... (End of this chapter)
