Chapter 408 Cheng Yaojin’s Son-in-law

After a cup of tea, Changsun Wuji felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the two men standing here. Even though he was the elder of the two men, some of what he said just now was a bit too much. After all, one One is the prince, and the other is the grandson.

Fortunately, there are no other people here. If word really spreads, Changsun Wuji is lucky now, so no one will dare to find trouble with him. But if he is unlucky one day, you teach the prince and grandson like this, you know How big a crime did you commit?

"Everyone, please sit down. There is no need to stand like this. I am saying these things for your own good. Now I see that you are in control of the situation, but you cannot always control the situation. Once you go downhill or are caught by others, Handle, everything today is your reminder."

What Changsun Wuji said was good advice. Li Xiang also understood this very well. Since ancient times, loyal words have been offensive to the ears. Can a person like this be a good person if he says something you are willing to listen to every day? He knows nothing but flattering, so Li Xiang still needs people like Changsun Wuji to push him all the time, so that he can understand his mistakes.

"Uncle, what you said is right, but we can't blame us alone for some things. For example, the three thousand people from Tubo are preparing to meet my father. This is always a serious matter, but my father How many days has the emperor been pushing for it? If it had been in the past, these people would have been allowed to go to the palace."

Li Chengqian remembered another thing. This time during the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, the Tubo Kingdom sent 3,000 people. They had to go with the army. This should be the treatment of the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty. However, this has not been mentioned yet, but they sent people Come on, isn’t this a matter of honor to Datang? If it were in the past, Li Shimin would definitely tell the world and talk about this matter in a big way, but just because this matter was related to Li Xiang, Li Shimin actually suppressed the matter and prepared to deal with it coldly.

Speaking of this matter, Li Xiang was also aggrieved. He did it for real, but besides himself, there were many capable people and strangers below. He didn't need this credit. Could it be that they also Don't need it? Li Shimin suppressed this matter to tell these people that if you follow Li Xiang in the future, don't expect any credit.

Once or twice, everyone is fine, but what if it takes a long time? Why was the King of Wei unwilling to give the jade pendant to Li Xiang in the first place? It was because it was a symbol of the Palace of Wei, and giving it to Li Xiang meant that his rights had been lost. Therefore, the King of Wei had to risk his life to keep it.

It's the same thing now. This is something to give confidence to the people below. If the emperor suppresses it again and again, then who is willing to follow Li Xiang? Including the generals who have already stood up, they will also look for other places.

From Li Chengqian's words, Li Xiang could tell that there were some things that this father could not care about, or even generously give them to others, but there were some things that had to be taken care of. This matter was related to the face of the East Palace, and to Is there anyone who is willing to hang out with Li Xiang in the future, so Li Chengqian said it here and hoped that Changsun Wuji would understand this matter.

"As I told you earlier, you have to calm down. When the army of three thousand people arrived outside Chang'an City, there were more than three thousand people watching them, and the troops mobilized were all from the capital. What is there to worry about? If the emperor can suppress it for one day, can he suppress it for two days? If he can suppress it for two days, can he suppress it for a month?"

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said. The father and son looked at each other. No wonder Changsun Wuji was not anxious about this matter. This was Li Xiang's biggest contribution this time. He almost wiped out Tubo, but no one saw it. , the Tubo Kingdom sent people to accompany the army, which was a real achievement. If Li Shimin had kept suppressing it, rumors in the court might have arisen.

"Uncle, is there any news?"

Li Xiang was also a little unable to bear it. You must know that letting the Tubo Kingdom go out with the army is something that has never been done by anyone. Now that Li Xiang has done it, it is a great achievement and a reward from Li Shimin. It can't be too small, otherwise outsiders will say he is stingy.

"Of course there is news. The reward given to you this time must be real and cannot be fooled casually. But you are already too young and it is difficult to canonize you, so the emperor is also here Think about it and see if you can find a balance that satisfies you and him."

As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, Li Xiang immediately felt as if he was wilting. If Li Shimin was satisfied, he could not wait to beat himself to the end, or be an idle son in Chang'an City. In the past, Li Shimin was worried about future generations. He has no ability. Now that this descendant is so capable, he already feels in danger.

"Both of you are like this. You start to get discouraged at the slightest thing. This is a sure thing. You don't have to think about it. There will definitely be a result before going out. When it's time to go back, go back. Don't stay here with me. See I’m jealous of you guys like this.”

Changsun Wuji said angrily. The two men sighed one by one. Changsun Wuji also felt uncomfortable, but the situation in Chang'an City is already like this. Even if Changsun Wuji is also the most powerful official, it cannot be done for Li Xiang. To fight for too many benefits, if Changsun Wuji steps forward, then Li Shimin's suspicion will become even heavier.

Now Changsun Wuji can only give Li Xiang secret advice. In doing so, Li Shimin will also gain face. If he expresses it directly, then some things will be difficult to say. Li Shimin may weaken the power of the Changsun family, or he may use other methods. He wanted to give Changsun Wuji some color and let him know who was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. No matter what the situation was, this was not what Sun Wuji wanted to happen.

The two left the Changsun Mansion one after another. Li Chengqian was going back to the East Palace. Li Xiang saw that it was still early and decided to go to his old father-in-law's house.

Cheng Yaojin was a little surprised by Li Xiang's arrival. After all, he had known for a long time that he was going to see Sun Wuji. He thought he wouldn't be able to make it today and would come back tomorrow. He didn't expect Li Xiang to come like this. Of course, neither of them did. Outsiders, if my son-in-law goes to Lao Yue's house for a drink, do he still need to make an appointment in advance?

Cheng Yaojin's house was also well-equipped with everything. After seeing Li Xiang coming, the old father-in-law became more and more excited to see his son-in-law, so he quickly asked the cook at home to cook. No matter what time it was, we Chatting while drinking...
