Chapter 784 Departing for Nanzhao

"Don't worry, mother. After coming back from the south this time, I will have a good rest in the capital. If I don't let my mother hold a fat grandson, the child will never leave the capital."

After hearing what Li Xiang said, his mother was already smiling. Li Xiang lived a very comfortable life just because he occupied the position of the eldest son. Even though he was a concubine, the emperor loved him very much. Even if Li Chengqian doesn't like it, Li Xiang is the eldest grandson of Emperor Taizong after all, so he can't go too far in some things.

Nowadays, several of the little grandsons of the East Palace have also gotten married, and they are all working hard for the eldest son of the next generation. If they successfully give birth to the eldest son of the next generation of the East Palace, it will be more or less difficult for Li Xiang. Less will also create some threats.

Regarding the first person of the next generation, Li Chengqian had other ideas. It would be best not to be born from Li Xiang. Although Li Chengqian has not yet reached the level of playing balance like Li Shimin, because of Aunt Fan's incident this time , Li Chengqian also believed that Li Xiang had too much power. If he took all the benefits, his fate in the future would not be much better than that of Li Yuan.

Of course, you can't say this yet. Li Xiang is very sensitive now. The most important thing is that his subordinates are too strong. If you say this, I'm afraid Li Xiang will wipe out your last strength.

Li Xiang saw some things very clearly. He was the only one he could count on for his mother, so he would definitely have to rely on himself in the future. But it was different with Li Chengqian. After passing the most dangerous moment, every man would pursue power. Li Chengqian is naturally no exception, so there will be various gaps between father and son.

If Li Chengqian has been in crisis, then Li Xiang has nothing to worry about. The problem is that this guy has come out now, and he thinks he has strength.

Of course, what happened to Aunt Fan this time was a wake-up call for him and made him realize his shortcomings. If someone outside wanted to set a trap for him, it would be a very easy thing. If Li Xiang hadn't been there in time, Having found and solved this trouble, Donggong still doesn't know what the situation is now.

If Aunt Fan gives birth to a son in the future, then the fight in the East Palace will probably become more serious. No one is a vegetarian these days, and everyone wants to fight for the best interests for their son. Li Chengqian just wants to control the East Palace, but absolutely He did not want to start a split, but he also knew that he did not have the ability to suppress the ministers.

"It's not too early. When it's time to hit the road, hit the road. It's not the first time that my son has left. Don't miss the right moment."

Li Chengqian looked at the sun and it was already getting late. If he continues to linger here, he doesn't know when it will be. Women tend to cry more at this time. In addition to the Crown Princess, the two Cheng Luan sisters also have eyes. There were tears in her eyes, especially since Cheng Ying had just been married not long ago and her husband was about to leave. This was really unpleasant.

Li Xiang knew that Li Chengqian still had something to say, so he said goodbye to his mother and daughter-in-law. Li Chengqian also got on the carriage and prepared to send him to Shiliting outside the city.

"This time Xiao Yu will go south with you, and he will also serve as the governor of Yizhou. This old guy is not a simple person. You must have a good heart. Your grandfather only asked him to supervise the army rations and ensure logistics for you, but he did not If you don’t want him to gain power, if a large number of children from aristocratic families enter Sichuan, you have to be aware of it."

When Li Chengqian knew about this matter, it was already too late. In his opinion, it was better to let Li Ke handle this matter, but he also knew what his father was thinking. He must keep a useful son in the imperial city, otherwise If I can't sleep at night, I have to rely on these sons at the most critical moment.

"Thanks for the reminder, father. Xiao Yu definitely wants to revitalize the Xiao family in Lanling, but my son will explain it to him on the way."

Li Xiang also thought about this. The patriarch of any aristocratic family is not a simple person. Don't think that he is here to help you. Such a person may not be attracted by anyone. It is just a temporary cooperation. People like Xiao Shougui can still be won over, but Li Xiang, an old fox like Xiao Yu, didn't even think about it. He explained their respective interests clearly in advance to avoid blundering later and delaying the front line.

"As long as you have an idea, this old guy has been a veteran of two dynasties. Counting the Sui Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has been a veteran of three dynasties. The Lanling Xiao family was so glorious when Empress Xiao was there. Even He can outdo the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, so the internal potential is huge, if you have to negotiate terms, don’t be fooled by him.”

Who hates the aristocratic families the most? If the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were to talk about it, Li Chengqian would definitely be at the top of the list. I am afraid only he and Li Shimin know what happened to this leg, so when it comes to these aristocratic families When they were rich, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and wanted to eat them alive.

While the father and son were talking, another team came in from the front. This person was Xiao Yu, who they were chatting with.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have met His Highness the Grand Sun."

Li Chengqian's carriage was large enough, and even if three people could sit in it, there would be no problem at all. So when he saw a team coming in, Li Chengqian asked someone to bring Xiao Yu over.

"Why should I ask you to sit down so quickly? This time, my son is going to the south. He is worried that no one will guide him along the way. It is really a blessing for my son to be able to accompany him."

When Li Chengqian said this, he felt like a courteous corporal. Li Xiang was also stunned when he heard it. Who said that his father was incompetent? How many people can be found? It seems that they are really smart at one moment and confused at the other.

In fact, this is a normal thing. From his childhood to now, Li Chengqian was born as the noble son of King Qin, and then he was established as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. He has been extremely prominent along the way, but he had no choice but to let Li Shimin spoil him at every turn. Just add En and Wei Wang Li Tai. No matter how broad-minded Li Chengqian is, he can't keep a normal heart, so there is all this now. This brain sometimes works well and sometimes doesn't.

"I am scared, please rest assured, Your Highness the Prince..."

Xiao Yu is naturally a very shrewd person. What everyone needs to maintain at this time is to maintain harmony. The conditions that should be negotiated must be discussed after we are on the road.
