Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 207
After the morning court, Xiao Yu ran eagerly to the gate of the harem and waited. Not long after, Xiao Shi came out accompanied by two court ladies.

Looking at Xiao Yu who was hovering around the door, Xiao's face suddenly showed a trace of surprise.

"Time!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Yu suddenly turned around slowly, and called out in a trembling voice.

"Sister, Shiwen is here to pick you up!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu knelt down towards Xiao Shi with a "plop".

Xiao Yu was born in the royal family of Houliang. After the fall of Houliang, Xiao Yu went to Chang'an with his sister Xiao. Because he was the wife of Yang Guang of the Xiao family at that time, Xiao Yu was also named the king of Xin'an County. For Song Guogong.

The person Xiao Yu misses the most is his sister Xiao Shi.

In Xiao Yu's heart, even if Xiao's elder sister is also a mother, the relationship between the two is naturally very deep. When Datang defeated the Turks and Li Ji returned with Xiao and Yuxi, let alone Xiao Yu's excitement up.

It is a pity that Xiao Yu was taken into the harem by Li Shimin within a few days after returning to Chang'an, because Xiao Yu was very opposed to this matter, and even contradicted Li Shimin many times, so the chances of Xiao Yu and Xiao's meeting became more and more less.

So when Xiao Yu was really able to take his sister Xiao Shi home, the excitement in his heart was hard for outsiders to understand.

And Xiao Shi was also very excited. When she heard Xiao Yu's "sister", tears rolled in her eyes, and the moment Xiao Yu knelt down, she couldn't hold it anymore, and the two lines of tears immediately burst into tears. Eyes burst out.

"Shiwen, get up quickly, you are now the Duke of the state, so it is really inappropriate!"

According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, the Xiao family, Zhaorong, is a concubine of the second rank, and Xiao Yu's title is the Duke of the first rank, so according to the rules, the Xiao family should salute Xiao Yu.

After hearing Xiao Shi's words, Xiao Yu immediately smiled.

"When Shiwen bows to his sister, what does it matter to others?"

Although he said so, Xiao Yu was also worried that his actions would bring trouble to Xiao Shi, so he stood up while speaking.

Seeing him standing up, Xiao Shi also nodded with a smile.

"This time His Majesty allowed me to leave the palace, all thanks to King Liang. Because of me, King Liang was severely beaten by His Majesty. I heard that even his mother could not recognize him. Later, you can find someone Thank you for the opportunity!"

Speaking of this, Xiao's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

The King of Liang mentioned by Xiao Shi is Li Yin, and Li Yin's mother is Yang Shi, the daughter of Yang Guang, and Xiao Shi was Yang Guang's wife at the beginning.

Although Concubine Yang is not Xiao's own daughter, the two were once regarded as a mother-daughter relationship, so these years, Xiao's situation in the harem is also quite embarrassing. Every time when Concubine Yang is mentioned, she always uses other names replace.

Xiao Yu also knew this, in the past he would avoid talking about this issue, but now after listening to Xiao Shi's words, he laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, sister, you are wrong this time. When I came here, I have already got the news from King Wu. It is not King Liang who helped you this time, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"His Royal Highness?"

Seeing Xiao Shi's surprised look, Xiao Yu nodded again.

"Yes, it's His Royal Highness, but it's a long story. The sedan chair is ready, sister, it's better to get on the sedan chair first, and Shiwen will tell you in detail when I go back!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Shi also nodded with a smile.

"Alright!"

After saying that, Xiao Shi got into the sedan chair, and followed Xiao Yu back.

After returning to Xiao's mansion, Xiao Yu told Xiao Shi everything she knew from Li Ke. After hearing the whole story, Xiao Shi suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

"I've heard that His Royal Highness has changed after a serious illness. I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."

After Xiao's voice fell, Xiao Yu also nodded.

"Yes, and His Highness the Crown Prince has a great influence on His Majesty. Even the King of Wei suffered from him, and as soon as King Wei left, His Highness the Crown Prince occupied the Furong Garden."

Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Xiao Shi immediately covered her mouth and laughed.

"In this way, the crown prince is really a master who does not suffer. Shiwen, we have received his kindness this time, so we must thank him!"

As soon as Xiao's words fell, Xiao Yu showed a helpless face.

"Sister, in fact, I have already been to the East Palace, but His Royal Highness said that this time he intends to teach Li Yin a lesson. He helped us to hunt the rabbits. It's a matter of convenience. We don't need to thank him."

Seeing Xiao Yu with a helpless face, Xiao's smile became even happier.

"Haha, it seems that the prince is really different, but although he said so, we can't let it go. If you have the ability, help him more in the future."

"Well, I know!"

Xiao Yu immediately nodded, and then smiled at Xiao Shi.

"His Royal Highness seems to be preparing to take action against the Zheng family in Xingyang, so he has implemented a series of measures. Recently, he has frequent contacts with businessmen. It seems that he will make another move. I will support him then."

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Shi suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"I've always heard that you are very rigid as an official and don't know how to be flexible. How come you suddenly figured it out this time?"

Seeing Xiao Shi's surprised expression, Xiao Yu laughed again.

"Because I only have one older sister, well, let's talk about it later, lunch is ready, let's go together!"

Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Xiao Shi also nodded with a smile. The siblings looked at each other again, and they both saw the inextricable affection in each other's eyes, which warmed people's hearts.

While the Xiao siblings are feeling the warmth of family affection, Gao Ming is being "bombed" by family affection.

"Brother, woo woo... Big brother, woo woo..."

Looking at Li Yin who was sitting across from him crying in grief, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth twitched several times.

"Liu Liu, don't cry so badly, okay? If you know it, you've been beaten and you feel miserable, but if you don't know, you think I'm dead!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming picked up a piece of biscuit from the table and stuffed it directly into Li Yin's mouth.

"Let's eat, turn grief and anger into appetite, eat hard, and you will feel better after eating."

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Yin nodded immediately, and then started to eat the cake hungrily.

"Um... blah blah..."

After a while, Li Yin ate up the plate of cakes. At this time, Li Yin wiped his mouth and looked at Gao Ming pitifully.

"Brother, can I ask you something?"

Hearing his words, Gao Ming immediately raised his eyebrows at him.

"Want to eat another plate of biscuits?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Yin quickly shook his head.

"No, I want to beg you not to trick me in the future, I almost died this time, brother, I am suffering, woo woo woo..."

"..."

Seeing him crying so heartbroken, Gao Ming could only sigh, and then nodded.

"Lao Liu, I really don't blame me this time. Who told you to plan to show off my IQ? Now you know that we only see a gap in IQ, right?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Yin nodded vigorously first, and then looked at Gao Ming with a puzzled expression.

"Brother, what is IQ, can you eat it?"

"..."

Gao Ming was silent, and after a while, he patted Li Yin's shoulder with sympathy.

"Forget it, this thing is too profound, I guess even if I explain it to you, you won't understand it, so you just need to live well."

"..."

After sending Li Yin away, Gao Ming called Ye Feng over.

"Ye Feng, tell Wu Mei for me, let her buy the restaurant opposite the Datang Royal Clubhouse today, and then hang the signboard of the Datang Royal Business Alliance. As for the interior decoration, follow the Royal Clubhouse, let her finally Fortunately, it will be finished within half a month, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Ye Feng agreed and went out.

After Ye Feng left, Gao Ming called Su Wan'er into the study, and then smiled at her.

"Wan'er, come and help me write a few words, I will read you to write!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

After finishing speaking, she began to grind ink and spread paper, and Gao Ming nodded when she saw that she was ready.

"Business is the way of humanity, no virtue, no wealth..."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's eyes immediately widened. To be precise, she was frightened.

Since ancient times, anything that involves the word "Tao" has not been touched by ordinary people. Confucius said that he made benevolence and Mencius said that he took righteousness. These are all manifestations of Tao. Everyone reviled.

So at this moment, Su Wan'er was shocked.

"His Royal Highness, is this ready to speak?"

Su Wan'er was born in a scholarly family, and she is well aware of the most important "three immortals" for literati, namely "establishing morality", "making meritorious service" and "establishing theory".

Lide is to set an immortal moral standard for future generations. Confucius and Mencius have already done this, so they have become sages and sub-sages.

To make meritorious service is to make immortal meritorious service, which is different in each dynasty, and the names of these "contributors" will be invited to the ancestral temple to enjoy the incense and worship of future generations.

Because of this, every time the dynasty changes, the first thing the new ruler does is to destroy the ancestral temple of the previous dynasty and replace it with his own.

And the so-called "Li Shuo", as the name suggests, is to write books and establish the theory, let one's own thoughts and opinions influence future generations, and become the standard for future generations, so that future generations will remember their names, so that they will last forever. The goal we pursue all our lives!
At this time, Gao Ming has already stepped on the first step of "Li Shuo" with one foot!
Nowadays, the status of merchants in Datang is low, and there is no so-called code of conduct, so Su Wan'er believes that as long as the wise words are carried forward, it will definitely become the standard of conduct for merchants in Datang.

At that time, for businessmen, Gao Ming's sentence "Business is humanism, and without virtue there is no wealth" is no less influential than Confucius's sentence "Learning and learning from time to time, it is not easy to say" on Confucian scholars!
If that time really comes, Gao Ming will also become a sage, not a sage of Confucianism, but a sage of merchants——

Shang Sheng!

Thinking of this, Su Wan'er blushed with excitement.

"Lang Jun, if you succeed this time, you can become a Shang Sage. I am really happy for you!"

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming showed a confused face.

"Mulberry? Why should I be a mulberry? What's so happy about it?"
