Chapter 607 The old prime minister comes to visit

After learning about the situation of these two eunuchs, His Highness King Wu certainly understood what Li Xiang meant. Li Chengqian had also taken care of them before, but as a prince, he couldn't do everything personally.

This time Li Xiang attacked the two eunuchs. It is estimated that if others still have ideas, they will have to touch their necks to see if they are hard enough.

Everyone thought that His Highness King Wu had to go over and thank him. After all, Li Xiang did this for your mother. However, two or three days passed and no news came out from Prince Wu's Mansion.

This is what smart people do. Many people below said that King Wu Li Ke seemed to be stupid after being scolded by the emperor, and he couldn't even thank him.

In fact, this is a normal thing. If Wu King Li Ke went to express his gratitude in a big way, this would bring trouble to Li Xiang. Li Xiang's relationship with the emperor has just eased, purely because of Xiao Shougui. If it weren't for As for this matter, I'm afraid the two sides are still at odds.

Although King Wu Li Ke does not have any serious errands now, he was once someone whom the emperor valued. If he gets together with Li Xiang in such an aboveboard way now, he will think his life is too long.

The two eunuchs who had Li Xiang's attack did not explicitly say that it was because of Concubine Yang. If King Wu Li Ke went over to express his gratitude, it would seem that he was not connected.

Li Xiang killed these two eunuchs because of the incident in the East Palace. Now that we rush there in such a hurry, it makes people even more suspicious, so it is best to treat them coldly. If you want to express gratitude in the future, then we will see you in person.

Xiao Shougui's matter was settled well, so the old man of the Xiao family could not sit still and brought his grandson to the East Palace early.

The ten-day holiday has passed. Li Xiang must go to court now, but Xiao Yu, the former prime minister, does not have to go. His political philosophy is different from Li Shimin's, so Li Shimin sent him home early to recuperate. Now hearing the voice from the other side of the morning, the old prime minister was also very envious.

Mainly because I have been in the political arena, so I want to stay here forever. What's more, Xiao Yu is not very old yet. If he can stay in the position of prime minister for two more years, he can also support the younger generations of the family. It's a good thing now, my grandchildren have to rely on others.

The Tang Dynasty was different from the later dynasties. The power in the hands of the prime minister was very great. As long as he wanted to help his grandson, he did not need to take action himself. Those below him would naturally do it.

But now he has been away from politics for too long. Last time, he took the wrong path and wanted to join forces with His Highness King Wu and then return to the court. As a result, he was beaten so hard by Li Xiang that he couldn't hold his head up. So this There are even fewer people around the old prime minister.

Everyone knows that good birds choose trees to roost in. If you have a sycamore tree here, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to attract the golden phoenix.

But the problem is that two consecutive wrong choices have ruined your popularity in the entire Chang'an City. No matter how deep the Lanling Xiao family is, the aristocratic family's tactics no longer work, and even the Qinghe Cui family has to go. The last two steps, let alone your Lanling Xiao family?

Therefore, the threshold of the old prime minister is also extremely clean. Being able to come out for some activities this time can be regarded as a little bit more comfortable. Of course, when others come out to do activities, they have done so to the point. After all, my grandson was gifted by Li Xiang and was able to go to Gaochang to serve. It is normal to take your grandson to the East Palace to express your gratitude in person.

According to Princess Xiangcheng's original idea, she should invite the two of them to the banquet there, but after thinking about it again and again, the old prime minister still felt that she should come and invite them in person, which seemed more serious.

Princess Xiangcheng knew what her husband was thinking, and the first reason was naturally her son's trip to Gaochang.

The second reason is that the Lanling Xiao family had a bad fight with Li Xiang last time. The two sides were almost on opposite sides. If they had not stopped in time, the confrontation between the two sides would have become more serious, and the Lanling Xiao family would have suffered huge losses. Not small, this also allowed everyone to see the power of capital for the first time from their losses, so Li Xiang's voice has increased a lot in the future.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, most official families are not allowed to do business, but if they only rely on their meager salary, it will not be enough for the whole family to carry out activities, so they can only let some merchants hang themselves. name, and then profit from it.

But if you can't provide shelter to these businessmen, why do they send their profits to your house every year?

Nowadays, the reason why every household gives Li Xiang face is to make their own money easier. The businessmen under them have said that if you want to expand your business, you will definitely not be able to bypass Zhi Daobao, no matter you are Whether you want to borrow money or save money, you must get it to the treasure.

Although some people later founded several similar ones, can’t you see the situation now? Zhi Daobao has the best reputation, plus it is the earliest to develop, and all important commercial areas are its territory. If you want to take over their business, it is already too late.

The business collision of the Xiao family in Lanling has shown everyone the power of Zhizhidao, so Mr. Xiao is also thinking in the long term. There is no chance for the two parties to meet during this period, so he takes this opportunity to sit together and try his best to make this The suspicion was cleared away.

The tea has been changed twice. In fact, as long as you ask someone, you will know that Li Chengqian and his son have gone to court and will never come back so soon. Even if the old prime minister comes, it should be a little later.

But the old prime minister came so early, which is very intriguing. No one can guess the reason, but Xiao Shougui next to him understands very well that the earlier I come, the longer I will wait for you here. It makes the host feel guilty. If I make any request later, you people probably won't be able to refuse.

The relationship between Xiao Shougui and the old prime minister was not very close. Although he was the eldest grandson of the Xiao family in Lanling, he had never lived in the capital. He had always been in Hengzhou with his parents.

However, judging from their appearance, there are still many similarities between the two. In addition, Xiao Shougui's way of doing things is really the same as that of his grandfather. We don't necessarily take the credit, but the misfortunes are definitely not our own.

The sound of bells in the distance came, which meant that the court was about to disperse. The old prime minister was a little nervous for no reason at this moment. Isn't he just a child under twenty? Why would you be nervous when meeting him?
