Chapter 198 Become a chaebol

Although Li Xiang was a little disgusted with these little actions of Li Shimin, he could also express his understanding.

After all, this is for the entire Tang Dynasty. If Li Xiang expresses his dissatisfaction now, it may give some people with ulterior motives an opportunity. They may also provoke Li Xiang to do some stupid things. It only takes a small action. Let the grandfather and grandson turn against each other.

The reason why Li Shimin did not let Li Xiang stay in Tuyuhun actually had his own ideas, which was to separate Li Xiang from the army and try not to let Li Xiang establish his own image in the army, although his image has now become , but coming back early is still effective.

"Father, haven't you gone to bed yet?"

Li Xiang saw that the lights were still on in Li Chengqian's hall and Qian Ping was standing at the door.

"Master has been waiting for you!"

Qian Ping quickly rubbed his eyes. After returning, the father and son had no chance to talk except for a few words in the car. So no matter how late it was tonight, Li Chengqian had to wait for him. son.

Because his mother went to the royal garden outside the city to serve the imperial concubine, Li Chengqian was the only one in the hall.

After the father and son met, Li Chengqian asked everyone in the room to leave, and asked Li Xiang's people to guard the entire hall. Li Chengqian didn't even believe the East Palace guards, after all, he had eaten on them earlier. You've lost enough. Obviously this person has done a lot of secret things for you. You thought he was yours, but in the end, a lot of secret things were spread out like this.

However, Li Xiang's men can be absolutely trusted. Whenever the father and son have important matters to discuss, Li Xiang's people are basically on duty and nothing is ever spread. This is what Li Chengqian envies. You are only fourteen years old, where did you get so many obedient people? Could it be that your grandma left it to you?

Of course, today's situation is urgent and it is not the time to gossip to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was eager to know what was going on with the emperor, and Li Xiang had nothing to hide. After all, in the coming days, Li Xiang would definitely stay at home often, and he would not be able to hide it.

"now it's right……"

After listening to Li Xiang's words, Li Chengqian said this. According to Li Xiang's understanding of his father, the emperor had taken away his military power. His father should be extremely angry, but how could he see it so clearly?

"Why did father say this?"

Li Xiang said with some doubts that Li Chengqian's behavior was really abnormal.

"Do you think your grandfather loves you? Of course he really loves you. Among all the emperor's grandsons, you should be considered the first. Even if all the princes are counted, there is no one who can surpass you, but you One thing you have to understand is that compared with all the princes and grandsons, you can stand at the front, but if you compare with the Tang Dynasty, no one can surpass it."

After all, Li Chengqian was a prince, so he hit the point in one sentence. Li Xiang is indeed the emperor's favorite heir, but it's not yet time to hand over the country to you, so you have to stay home. With.

"What the father said is absolutely true, so the son has no excuses and is ready to recuperate at home."

A smile appeared on Li Xiang's face. Seeing Li Xiang do this, Li Chengqian was also very happy. Back then, he was rejected by the emperor because he couldn't understand this. He always felt that he was the emperor's heir, so Jiangshan was our master. Two people, in fact, it is not the same thing. When you covet the country, then you are standing on the opposite side of the emperor.

No one is as important as his country! This is what Li Chengqian has learned over the years.

"There's nothing wrong with you resting at home. Your second uncle and your ninth uncle are both in disgrace now. They don't have much influence in the court, especially your ninth uncle. After they come back, I locked myself in the house and didn’t even go out.”

If in the past, his son was idle at home, Li Chengqian might have been extremely nervous, because the court only had so many resources. If his son did not move around in the officialdom, someone would probably carve up his son's territory, but now The two younger brothers are gone. Even if others reach out, they have no chance of inheriting the throne.

Li Xiang nodded beside him, but he actually didn't agree with it very much. After Tuyuhun's victory, Li Xiang did not regard these two uncles as his opponents, because they were not worthy of being his opponents, but Li Chengqian's There are only these younger brothers in his eyes. This may be the difference between father and son.

"My son is going to do something big this time, of course not in the political situation of the court. My son is going to do something big in business. Although he won't be able to control the economic lifeline of the entire Tang Dynasty, it still has to give us enough chips. .”

On the way back, Li Xiang thought about it. Since there is no way to expand his power in the army, he should stop for now. As for the thousands of troops exchanged, Li Xiang is not worried about these people betraying him and openly discord. They have any contact, and they are still their commander-in-chief at the critical moment. Isn't this what Li Xiang wanted to do before?

"Son, what do you want to do? Your business strength is not weak now. Zhizhidaobao has been opened all over the country, and the daily turnover is a lot. There is also a hotel complex you want to build, which is in several big cities across the country. It’s almost finished here.”

Whenever Li Xiang had ambitions, Li Chengqian felt a little scared. In fact, all his son's ideas were too advanced. Every time he put them into practice, he immediately became the biggest star in the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian was the one who made money. Hopefully, when the money he earned reached a certain figure, Li Chengqian felt scared.

"That's just the beginning. The reason why I don't let you save money and spend all the money you earn is to expand our influence. Why do major families have so much influence everywhere? It's because They have enough money. Although many officials have said that money cannot determine everything, what I want to say is that they do not have enough money yet. The economic base determines the superstructure. This is by no means just words."

Li Xiang said very confidently, how can ordinary people understand the world of consortiums and plutocrats in various countries? Li Chengqian was a little confused next to him. What does it mean that the economic base determines the superstructure? This guy went to Tuyuhun. Is he stupid?
