Chapter 14 Arriving before the ceremony is over

Although the emperor has not changed the prince yet, everyone in the world can see that the emperor is not satisfied with the current prince. In addition to Li Chengqian, there are two other legitimate princes, namely Wei Wang Li Tai and Jin Wang Li Zhi.

Although the two are not fighting openly and secretly, they are also trying to win over Changsun Wuji to varying degrees. Changsun Wuji has not expressed his position with the two, but there must be a close relationship. As a junior who started later, Li Xiang naturally has to use some detours. Way to overtake.

Today's luncheon, Changsun Wuji only invited Wei Wang Li Tai and Li Xiang, which means that the relationship between Jin Wang Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji is not that close. After all, the boy is still a little brat. Li Chengqian was deposed a lot in history. It took a long time for Jin King Li Zhi to become the prince. It seems that he has not yet exerted his strength. His competitor is currently Wei King Li Tai.

However, Li Xiang didn't take it to heart. He had to stay calm and don't give Jin King Li Zhi any chance. That boy was very slippery. He had defeated all his brothers in history.

As the capital of the Tang Empire, Chang'an City had many new things happening every day, but this was the first time that Li Xiang visited Changsun Wuji with such fanfare since the founding of the country.

The common people had not seen the royal family patrolling for a long time, and many good people followed him along the way, so less than half an hour after Li Xiang left, the news had spread throughout the city.

Changsun Mansion.

"Father, I think we should support King Wei. This Li Xiang is still young and can't tell right from wrong at all. There are so many princes and grandsons in the Tang Dynasty, and none of them is wearing a full car. You see, the whole Chang'an City knows what he did. Oh, is this stupid?"

Changsun Chong drank a large cup of tea. He just got the news outside and this guy came back to report.

When Changsun Wuji came back yesterday, he had already told him that today he would have a banquet with King Wei Li Tai and the emperor's grandson Li Xiang at the mansion. He did not invite anyone. In other words, it was a private banquet, and it could be regarded as Changsun Wuji's. Ji's first test of the two of them did not expect that it was not yet noon, and Li Xiang had already known the whole process.

Looking at his son Changsun Wuji, he shook his head. Although his son was better than the other idiots in his family, if you talk about this son, he would be second-rate at best.

Even Zhang Sun Wuji did not expect that Li Xiang would dare to come with such a big fanfare. This was clearly announcing to the world that in addition to the emperor in the palace, Li Xiang regarded Zhang Sun Wuji as his second elder. If in the future If Changsun Wuji doesn't support Li Xiang, then he will be stigmatized for not supporting his descendants, not to mention that he gave you the first piece of meat in Pinggaoli Ce.

"Father, this Li Xiang really deserves the reward from his uncle."

The scent of orchids wafted by, and the eldest daughter of the Changsun family, Changsun Pingting, also walked into the study. If these two children were talking about strategy, Changsun Wuji still liked to talk with his daughter.

"Sister, isn't this Li Xiang an idiot? My father wants to secretly consider their uncle and nephew. This is a hidden matter, but you see, the whole Chang'an City knows about his rants, and he is arrogant and domineering. I have put all the honors of my emperor and grandson on display, who are I showing this to?"

Changsun Chong said in confusion, although this boy is arrogant and domineering outside, he has admired his sister's head since he was a child.

"Show it to you and me, show it to the world, show it to my father, he treats my eldest grandson's family with sincerity, how can my eldest grandson's family not reciprocate the favor?"

Changsun Pinting's words made Changsun Wuji smile bitterly. Li Xiang was by no means an easy-going guy. He messed up his steps from the very beginning. But this is what's interesting. To select truly capable people for the Tang Dynasty, give more money. It’s better to have some surprises of your own.

Changsun Chong repeated his sister's words over and over again, but unfortunately the speed of his head was limited, and he still didn't understand what was going on. He still felt that Li Xiang was too particular about ostentation and could not survive more than three episodes in today's Tang Dynasty.

"It's simply arrogant and extravagant. My father asked us to live frugally, but how on earth did this brat live? He used hundreds of people to clear the way for him. The whole Chang'an City was alarmed by him. Even when my father went out, he was not like him. Big scene.”

When the father and son were silent, the voice of Wei Wang Li Tai came from outside the door. Ever since Li Chengqian started to mess around, Wei Wang Li Tai has come here often, but this guy is just for the occasion and has not had in-depth communication with Changsun Wuji a few times. This is also The reason why Changsun Wuji has been hesitating.

According to the ranking order of the Li brothers, if Li Chengqian is finished, Li Tai will definitely take over, but based on this situation, how can he firmly occupy the top position?

Changsun Wuji is not afraid of Li Tai's incompetence. If you are incompetent, your uncle and I can help you, as long as you are obedient. But the problem is that you are incompetent and disobedient. This is really difficult to handle. , so Changsun Wuji was also thinking about Jin Wang Li Zhi at the same time.

For Changsun Wuji, these three princes are all his nephews. Whoever becomes the emperor does not have much impact on him. He can firmly sit in the position of uncle.

And with him in one day, he can block the attacks of other princes for the prince, but if he is gone, King Wu Li Ge will not be easy to deal with. The chosen prince must have the ability to resist.

Changsun Wuji was thinking about this issue every day, so he could not make up his mind for a long time. It was at this time that Li Xiang came out as the emperor's grandson. Although he was a generation behind me, he was also a blood relative of my eldest grandson. , is also the grandson of Queen Changsun, so Changsun Wuji has another candidate.

In Changsun Wuji's heart, the prince could not only support the Changsun family and resist the attacks of other princes, but also be good to the entire Tang Dynasty. This was the best choice. Of course, supporting the Changsun family must be ranked first.

"uncle?"

King Wei Li Tai had been in for a long time, but Changsun Wuji had been thinking about the problem and was a little distracted.

"Erlang, what did you say?"

After hearing this, Li Tai was so angry that Changsun Wuji was speechless. I am racking my brains here to attack Li Xiang, but you, the old man, didn't even listen to a word.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei said the same thing as me, that is, that brat is too arrogant and domineering. He has made the whole city of Chang'an crazy. Father should reprimand him later."

Changsun Chong had already doubted his words and deeds, but when he heard that Wei King Li Tai was the same as what he said, he immediately became interested, and he and Li Tai felt that heroes had similar views.

Only Changsun Pingting, who was standing aside, looked at these two people like two idiots. Did you two drink too much before eating? It was obvious that the father was not worried because of this.

"His Royal Highness is here..."

People arrived before the ceremony, and the people in the room remembered that Li Xiang would have to wait a while, but who knew that a large number of gifts had already been transported into the Changsun Mansion.

The Changsun family was the most wealthy family during the Zhenguan period. There was never a shortage of all kinds of luxurious items. However, they were shocked by Li Xiang's generosity. A dozen servants came in carrying various gifts. I don't know. I thought that giving me a bride price was nothing like visiting relatives.

"Young Master Changsun, Miss Changsun, our Royal Highnesses specially offer small gifts to the two of you..."
