Chapter 1433 The worries of His Majesty Li Er
His Majesty Li Er knew very well that he was deceived again this time. The main reason was not when Changle's dividends would be fulfilled, but that he was blocked by Li Chengqian with the spirit of contract, and he couldn't say anything.
After Li Chengqian and Changle left, the great His Majesty Li Er shook his head with a wry smile and said to Empress Changsun: "Guanyin maid, this kid is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with now. I estimate that I will completely lose control of him in more than five years. I don't know if this is a blessing or a disaster."
Queen Changsun sighed and said calmly: "Gan'er is a sensible child. The second brother should believe that he can control himself. And this time the deposed prince is the second brother's visit to him. I believe that the second brother should have made a decision in his heart."
"Do you know everything?" His Majesty Li Er's face flashed with embarrassment, and he paused before continuing: "Actually, I had to do it. Now that kid has used his money offensive to control almost half of the court. It is difficult for me to judge whose side those old ministers will stand if there is any problem."
Although Li Er said this passage easily, the content was very sensitive. Only when facing Empress Changsun would he say this without worrying about the words being worn out.
Empress Changsun's face changed a few times, and she bit her lower lip and hesitated for a while: "Second brother, I think my godson should not be the kind of disobedient child. Although he is often naughty, he has never lacked virtue in terms of virtue, so I believe my godson will never do anything ruthless."
"Haha, Guanyin maid, you're over-concerned." Li Er smiled meaningfully after listening to Empress Changsun's opinion carefully, and then said, "I'm not worried that he will have any rebellious intentions. I still understand my son."
"In fact, what really worried me was his ambition, his desire for victory and his persistence in the land."
"Qin Emperor Hanwu has always been the two people he talked about, but these two are both powerful and powerful people. I am afraid that Chengqian will follow their old path, and the country will become poorer and poorer, and in the end the national strength will weaken, which will give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of."
"This..." Empress Changsun was silent.
After all, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. She may be able to handle some simple political affairs well, but when it comes to matters that even Li Shimin finds difficult, Empress Changsun cannot give an accurate answer.
Lao Li looked at his wife who had been pregnant for nearly eight months and couldn't bear to let her have too many concerns. He smiled and comforted: "Okay, Guanyin maid, you shouldn't think too much. What I just said was my little concern. Things are not that bad. At least it seems that the kid still knows that the domestic economy is the main focus, which shows that he is still a bit sensible."
"Second brother, you must always keep an eye on him and never let him go the wrong way." Empress Changsun thought about the terrible consequences that would have gone on in the direction Li Shimin guessed, and could not help but worry.
"Don't worry, although that kid is a little clever, I am still the emperor now, so it's still easy to control him." His Majesty Li Er swears nonsense that he doesn't even believe in himself, and his thoughts fly to the night ten days ago.
Ten days ago, Li Chengqian suddenly appeared in Liangyi Hall. This was the first time he entered the palace since inspecting the railway.
It was this time when he entered the palace that Li Chengqian told the old man something, something about Persia, and at the same time exposed his own thoughts.
The Great Food Congress invaded the Western Regions? His Majesty Li Er did not believe it, but given Li Chengqian's persistence, even if Comrade Li didn't believe it, he had to consider his opinions.
The future war is in the ocean, and whoever controls the ocean will control the world. This is the central idea that Li Chengqian expressed that night. But does the Tang Dynasty need to control the ocean now? There are still a large area of land on the land that has not been conquered. Now I wonder if the ocean is a bit ambitious?
His Majesty Li Er asked Li Chengqian with such a question, but the answer he got was that his descendants were endless, and the current generation always had to leave something for future generations!
From this we can see that Li Chengqian's desire for land is far above that of him. Old Li is very worried that a bad Tang Dynasty would be led to the bottomless abyss by his son.
As an emperor, you cannot be without enterprising spirit, but as an emperor, you also need to have strong self-control and know how to control your desires. Breaking forward without compromising is something that only wild boars do. Real beasts should know how to restrain their impulses and use roundabout tactics to hunt opponents.
Lao Li believed that his heir should be a beast, not a wild boar that only knew how to rush forward.
But this is just an idea after all, and the Tang Dynasty will still be handed over to the next generation in the future. No matter how powerful he is, it will be a hundred years. What kind of country he built will develop into is probably not something he can change if he is worried about now.
...
"Brother, why do you tell me about credit from your father? Do you know that I hated you so much at that time?" Compared to the entangled couple Li Er, Changle was still very optimistic. After leaving the old man and Changsun, he immediately turned into a creature similar to the "family bird", jumping around and making people dizzy.
"I'm trying to keep my money, otherwise do you think my father would let go of my income?" Li Chengqian spread his hands and said.
"How is this possible? My father doesn't know our secret." Changle pouted and expressed distrust of Li Chengqian.
"The Father is far smarter than you think. Do you think he would not have thought that we would share the remaining part of the money?" Li Chengqian looked back at the Liangyi Hall with flying eaves and braces, sighed and said, "If I hadn't used the spirit of contract to trap my father today, I'm afraid we would not have even gotten 10% of the dividends."
"Ah?!" Changle showed a look of surprise: "No, right? Is the father so stingy?"
"This is not stingy, but..." Li Chengqian suddenly closed his mouth: "Forget it, you don't understand even if you say it. You just need to know that I'm doing it for your own good."
Changle wrinkled his cute little nose and snorted: "Hmph, I know you're lying. You've said this countless times."
But soon the cute little girl seemed to think of something and ran to Li Chengqian again: "Brother, when will you answer me about Yanran? Last time you said you would introduce a young talent to Yanran, why is there no reply now?"
"Has she asked you?" Li Chengqian, who was distracted, turned his head in confusion.
"That's not, it's just that people are very curious!" Changle was just a sixteen-year-old girl after all. Although she had reached the age of marriage in the Tang Dynasty, she seemed to be growing smaller and smaller under the doting of Li Shimin and his wife and Li Chengqian.
"I'm not big, but I'm not small." Li Chengqian glanced at Changle and teased her, "What? Are you in a hurry to get married?"
As a result, as soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Changle immediately changed from a small family sparrow to a little lion, and said with his teeth and claws: "What, I just care about what kind of husband you will find for my cousin. It's not as unbearable as you think! Stinky brother, bad brother, if you do this, I really ignore you!"
"Okay, okay, I surrender! I was wrong!" Li Chengqian raised his hands high and enjoyed this rare moment of warmth. He finally waited until Changle was quieter before continuing, "Do you still remember the Tubo king? I plan to introduce Yanran to him!"
"What? He?" Changle's voice was full of disbelief, as if he had heard something incredible.
"Don't underestimate Songzan Gampo, he's just a little bit of luck. If it weren't for..." Li Chengqian paused, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes: "If it weren't for your brother, I would have prepared to make the arrangements properly, this guy might not have had the chance to become a hero of a generation."
"Brave!" Li Chengqian's appearance made Changle laugh out loud. He laughed for a long time before he came to his side with great slander: "Brother, do you want to arrange for them to meet? Yanran's cousin helped me a lot last time, so why should I get some rewards?"
"A man is a big man!" Li Chengqian suddenly reached out and scraped Changle's nose, and continued in Changle's scream: "But you are right. It's time for them to meet. If you drag it on, you may have something to happen."
"What happened? Do you dare to disagree with that pine and some pine?" Changle's beautiful big eyes showed a hint of doubt.
This girl obviously learned bad things from Li Chengqian. In the past, Changle would never call someone a pine or pine.
"It's not that he doesn't agree." Li Chengqian touched his nose awkwardly: "It's just that I found him another wife some time ago, a Nibharat princess."
"Ah? Princess? Are you beautiful?" Changle was still a girl after all. When it comes to other women, the first thing they care about is whether they are beautiful. As for where Nibharat is, they didn't even ask.
"How do I know if I am beautiful? The farthest place I have been to is Liaodong, and Nibharata is in the west of Tubo. I have only heard of it." Li Chengqian wisely avoided the question of whether Princess Nibharata is beautiful.
Later experience told him that he should never discuss whether another woman is beautiful in front of one woman, even if the woman in front of him is his own sister.
"Okay, but brother, when will you be more reliable? You have forgotten such a big thing. If I don't remind you, my cousin will only be the concubine of Song and Song in the future?"
Although the beautiful eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty was not entangled with whether the other princess was beautiful, she still scolded Li Chengqian, just like how big a mistake Xiao Li made.
