Chapter 350: A lesson for the old man

Half an hour later, Li Ke and his concubine left the 'Lanruo Temple' depressedly. Nature's Sounds

And Luo Luo, the little girl who followed him, looked at his ugly face and asked worriedly: "Your Highness, why is your face so ugly?" Did the prince say something unpleasant? ”

"It's none of your business, never inquire about the affairs between this king and the crown prince in the future, and don't ask." Li Ke said with a calm face and some impatience.

"Whoa! Slave got it! A word of concern was reprimanded, Luo Luo felt a little aggrieved, but thinking about her identity, she could only swallow the bitter water in her stomach.

Li Ke seems to really love this little girl (otherwise he wouldn't take her to see Li Chengqian), seeing her aggrieved appearance, he felt unbearable, and after thinking about it, Wen Yan said: "Although the prince and this king are not compatriots of the same mother, they are also brothers and sisters, and the matter between us is by no means as simple as you think, so ...... Know for yourself! ”

"Whoa! The servant will not ask in the future. Luo Luo nodded obediently, and then asked, "Your Highness, where are we going now?" ”

"Send you back first, this king has something to do in a while." Luo Luo's words made Li Ke think of Li Chengqian's request again, and his mood became low again. But he wasn't actually angry, and he felt that a lot of small money had flown away.

Those damn Tubo people, they have nothing to ask for a hairy kiss, and if they provoke the guy who 'will be revenged', they will not say anything, and even they will be unlucky.

Li Ke went to do things depressed, and Li Chengqian squatted in the palace was also uncomfortable.

The generals are all out on the march, and the imperial historians have no impeachment goals, and when they are idle all day long, their eyes naturally turn to him, a small bullet in three days, a big bomb in five days, and there are many names of impeachment, which makes people have an inexplicable feeling.

For example, the piece of music in his hand is actually a special impeachment for always staying in the 'Lanruo Temple', which is not in line with the etiquette system, and it is reasonable to move to Tianguang or Lizheng Hall. Of course, there are also more bizarre ones, thinking that all the ladies of the East Palace should be withdrawn, leaving more masculinity for the imperial prince.

What the hell is this? Li Chengqian reluctantly flipped through four or five more copies, sighed and said to Li Er with a wry smile: "Father, this, this is too, right?" Where do the sons and daughters sleep, and how many maids in the palace have to be taken care of by them? ”

"You didn't come here to see these things." Li Er snatched back the stack of music in his son's hand, and said angrily: "What do you think about the matter of Tubo? Do you think that Songtsen Gampo is really capable of quelling the rebellion? ”

"Father, it doesn't matter whether the Tibetan rebellion is quelled or not, the important thing is that they are located on the plateau, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Coupled with its nomadic habits, if it is allowed to form a unified regime, the future will be tantamount to another ******, and it will definitely become a problem for the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian, who knows the trend of history, said the four words of the trouble of his confidants categorically and cannot be questioned.

Moreover, what Li Chengqian said was not wrong, because of the habits of the nomads, after the internal strife is settled, they must start to invade the outside world, not only because of their predatory habits, but also because of the ease of contradictions between their internal tribes and the elimination of dissent.

Li Er nodded, thought about it and asked, "Why do you know so much about the situation in Tibet?" ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment: "Father, the Intelligence Department has a lot of information on Tibet, are you ...... Never watched? ”

"Uh...... Look, but at the moment I'm looking at the Turkic and Goguryeo materials, Tibet, a small border country in Tibet, it doesn't hurt to look at it later. A flush flashed on Li Er's face, and he was faintly embarrassed and angry.

Li Chengqian's two souls are fused, and he has the ability to never forget, and he can remember all the information at a glance. But Lao Li can't do it, if you want to read all the information of the intelligence department, it is estimated that this old man and the emperor don't have to do it, and he will squat in the intelligence department every day to rummage through the pile of papers.

The change in the old man's expression saw in Li Chengqian's eyes, and he suddenly had a bad feeling about the big thing, and hurriedly said: "Eh, my father is busy with official business, and it is the son's son who has lost his word." ”

Li Er snorted, and let Li Chengqian go generously, there is no way, this eldest son is notoriously out of tune, and his brain will twitch from time to time, if he has to take care of everything, I am afraid that he will be angry to death a long time ago.

There was a brief silence in the room, and after a while, Li Er slowly spoke: "You are now grown up, many things have their own plans, I don't want to interfere too much, but there are some things you had better discuss with me in advance, otherwise it will ......." ”

Li Er's words were not finished, but as a warning, it was enough, and with Li Chengqian's cleverness, he could naturally know that some of his actions during this period had caused the old man's dissatisfaction.

It's one thing to not understand, and it's another thing to admit it, because all the old man's dissatisfaction is based on Li Chengqian's usual performance, and it's a kind of speculation of 'treating others with himself'.

If Li Chengqian admits his mistake now, it will prove that the old man's guess is correct, and there will be no benefit in this way except to make things worse.

So Li Chengqian naturally took the old man's words, and said with a smile: "Father, the sons and daughters are all messy and trivial things on weekdays, and I am afraid that you don't like to hear it." ”

Li Er seemed to be specifically looking for trouble with Li Chengqian today, so he said with a sigh: "Then pick one and listen to it." ”

Let's just say it, there are a lot of things that have been tossed during this time, and it shouldn't be a big problem to pick one or two things at random and make the old man confused.

For example, Li Chengqian thinks that Li Ke's business is a good topic: "Father, what will happen if you ask Xiao Ke to double the price of buying cattle?" ”

"Double the purchase price?" Li Er frowned, and the first thing that came to mind was that Li Chengqian was rectifying Li Ke. But thinking about it, I think it's unlikely, Li Ke is not a fool, how could Li Chengqian ask him to pay a high price?

"Father, the nobles and merchants are unlimited, and with half the profits, they will take risks; With twice the profits, they dare to trample on all laws; If there is a triple profit, they dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being beheaded" Marx's Das Kapital Li Chengqian has read, but he can not remember much, and this sentence is basically the sentence he remembers the most.

Facing Li Er's increasingly confused gaze, Li Chengqian continued: "Father, like us, there are nobles in Tibet, who need silk, porcelain, beautiful clothes, and everything that can show their status. ”

"If all this can be exchanged for wool that is full of hair but not very useful, Erchen thinks they will gladly accept it, and even Erchen thinks that it is not impossible for them to change the horse farm into a cattle farm."
