Chapter 73 Obtain the treasure

After listening to his father's words, Li Xiang still felt that he looked down on the heroes of the world, especially the emperor who was his grandfather. Even though he came from the modern society a thousand years later, some things were still unclear to him.

"Then I will offend the powerful?"

Thinking of this, Li Xiang still asked, in terms of understanding of this era, Li Chengqian didn't know how much better than he was.

After listening to his son's words, Li Chengqian also sighed. This is a proposition in itself. If the powerful people are not offended, the old man will definitely not be happy, but if the powerful people are offended, then even if Li Xiang succeeds to the throne in the future. , there are not many people defending him.

"Yes..."

The father and son were silent for a long time. Suddenly, Li Chengqian patted his head and finally thought of a way for his son.

"Please ask father for advice."

Li Xiang was really helpless about this matter.

"You have offended a family by killing him, and this family must be strong enough to make him docile before he goes to do other errands. Take us princes as an example. If you treat me as a prince, If you are suppressed, will other princes still dare to prick you?"

Li Chengqian danced and said, to sum it up, it is to shoot the first bird. Even if Li Xiang wants to do this, he can't offend most of the powerful families. If that is the case, even if you are a tyrannical dragon crossing the river. , there will be trouble everywhere in the future.

So it is better to kill the leading bird, and the remaining people are waiting and watching. When you show your own strength when you kill the leading bird, then the remaining major families will know what to do. If they don’t want to be the leading bird, If the blood flow is broken, he will cooperate with Li Xiang's actions.

"Thank you father for your guidance."

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Xiang finally found his way. What he was most afraid of was that his head was full of mush and he didn't know what to do next. Now he has a clear direction. No matter how many difficulties there are on the way forward, We also know which way to go.

"In addition, this first shot is very important. You and your second uncle are both in the Imperial City Division. In addition to your grandfather watching, the officials and people all over the world are also watching. If the first shot can be fired, then in everyone's hearts It leaves a strong impression, but if the first shot is a squib, no matter what you do later, everyone's evaluation of you will be lower in their hearts."

Li Chengqian also understood that Li Xiang also understood that the first person to eat the crab would get the most generous benefits, and the people after him would have to look at their own luck.

Just as the father and son were plotting this matter, huge changes also occurred outside. Qian Ping came in and informed the most important one.

His Royal Highness the King of Jin went to the Prince of Wei's Mansion tonight.

Li Xiang thought of the seemingly loyal but treacherous face of Jin Wang Li Zhi.

"Your ninth uncle is a kid who keeps making little moves in secret. Now he knows where to lean. When your second uncle and I were fighting, he always stayed away from us. Now I see the military power you have in your hands. , coupled with your recent performance, he knows that there is no use in leaning on him. He can only lean on your second uncle. If your second uncle wins, he must have his own political interests. If your second uncle loses, If so, then I’m afraid he will take over your second uncle’s troops.”

Regarding his youngest brother, Li Chengqian could say that he saw clearly. This boy was loyal on the surface, but secretly he was just like Changsun Wuji. If he didn't have such thoughts, there would be no Tang Gaozong in history.

There is nothing to be afraid of Jin Wang Li Zhi and Li Xiang. Even if this kid has thousands of thoughts, Li Xiang can defeat him with just one person, and that is the talented Wu Meiniang.

The records in history are very clear. After Jin Wang Li Zhi saw Wu Zetian, he could not move his legs immediately. But at that time, he was already the prince, and his brothers had been eradicated, so he could pursue Wu Meiniang without any scruples. After my father died, I married my concubine into the palace with great fanfare, which is what someone like this can do.

"I'm talking about your ninth uncle. What are you thinking? This is more vicious than your second uncle."

Li Chengqian patted his son on the shoulder. Why was this boy distracted at this time?

"My uncle Jiu is easy to handle. Don't worry, father. He only needs one woman."

Li Xiang said very confidently, and Li Chengqian next to him also looked puzzled. I have never heard of which woman Lao Jiu likes?

"A good boy never takes the right path."

Li Xiang suddenly received a blow on his head, and then he remembered that the person in front of him was not his military advisor, but his father.

The sun had just risen on the second day and the East Palace was already overcrowded. News about Chang'an City spread very quickly. Li Xiang was already the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, with three hundred guards under his command. People from every household wanted to come and ask for help. two.

For the eldest son, they don't have to worry about this when they are born. Their titles and official positions have already been prepared.

As for the other legitimate sons, they also look down on this kind of petty officials from the ninth rank. Generally speaking, the wives of the heads of households in each family, and their natal families are also very powerful. Once the husband's family and the natal family are slightly combined, all the The legitimate son can make arrangements.

But the same cannot be said for a concubine. Most of the time, the mother is a maid in the family, and the grandfather's family cannot borrow money. They like this kind of low-ranking official from the ninth grade.

Although you are the bastard of the family, if you don't arrange for any son, it will have a great impact on the head of the family. Everyone will feel that you have fallen out of favor in the court and cannot even arrange for a son. So after the news about Li Xiang spread out, , everyone was moved upon hearing the news.

"Don't blame them. Life is difficult for the bastards of all major families, and no one can be offended."

When Li Xiang got up, Li Chengqian had already allocated half of the places. There were two in this family and three in that family. One hundred and fifty people were not enough.

How could Li Xiang not understand that he was actually born as a concubine? If it were not for the fact that the princess was born in the Hou family and was implicated by her father, plus we are a person who has traveled through time, I don’t know what would happen to the current situation, maybe Even in the East Palace, I couldn't stand up.

"Father just needs to deal with it at home. Leave me a hundred places, and the remaining father can be accommodated. My son has important things to do today, so he won't wait at home."

Li Xiang still has a big thing to do today, which is to open a Zhi Da Bao store.

Zhi Da Bao, as the name suggests, means picking up treasure.

Li Xiang wants to open his first boutique in Chang'an City and take on the responsibilities of a pawnshop at the same time. This is also part of his plan to make money, so he must do it himself. He will leave these little things at home to his father.
