Chapter 719 Not standing in a team depends on absolute strength (one more)
Chapter [-] Not standing in a team depends on absolute strength
In the bathroom of Duke Qin's mansion, steam filled the air.Li Shimin jumped into the hot pool naked, splashing a lot of water.However, Li Shimin dived directly to the bottom of the water.After a while, Li Shimin in the diving pool did not show his head.

Changsun Wugou panicked immediately, she rushed to the bathroom door and shouted: "Come on!"

wow...

There was a sound of water, and a pair of powerful arms hugged Changsun Wugou from behind.

Changsun Wugou heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Li Shimin coming out of the hot pool.

Li Shimin held his eldest grandson Wugou's chin with his hands, and said with a faint smile: "Guanyin maidservant, what do you tell me to do? Does it depend on us husband and wife Dunlun?"

The eldest grandson Wugou gave Li Shimin a blank look and said, "Second brother, you are talking nonsense!"

Li Shimin's arm suddenly exerted force, and he hugged his eldest grandson Wugou with a splash, and the two of them fell into the huge pool at the same time.This bath was naturally built by Li Shimin after Chen Ying's bathroom.The floor is paved with tiles, divided into three depths of one and a half feet deep, three feet deep and six feet deep. The large pool with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters is especially comfortable for bathing.

Changsun Wugou felt Li Shimin's hand, a little unscrupulous.As a traditional woman, Changsun Wugou felt that Li Shimin and Li Shimin were messing around in the bathtub, and she tremblingly said, "Second brother, don't be here!"

Li Shimin kissed Changsun Wugou forcefully, and soon Changsun Wugou's limbs felt weak.

Li Shimin is a veteran of Huacong. For a veteran who knows how to play with women at the age of 12, it is easy to feel that the eldest grandson Wugou is already emotional, and Li Shimin launched a stormy attack.

The eldest grandson Wugou quickly groaned and threw away his helmet and armor, completely defeated...

At the beginning of the wind and rain, Li Shimin hugged his eldest grandson Wugou, and rubbed his head affectionately on his face, Li Shimin asked lightly: "Guanyin maid, I heard that you dismissed many maids in the mansion... Now that you have so much tight?"

The eldest grandson Wugou glanced at Li Shimin, was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, although there are indeed a lot of places to spend money, but a few maids can still afford it. There was a snowstorm in Guanzhong this year, many people died and their families were destroyed. There are not a few of them. It is not difficult to find a few young and stable maids, just a few mouthfuls of food. It's just that the princess brought a lot of money and food from the ladies of the city, and she even took out the headdresses. If the concubine can't show something, she will be compared to her, of course, this is not justified..."

Li Shimin patted his eldest grandson Wugou's back, his voice was a little low: "Guanyin maidservant, I'm sorry for you!"

The eldest grandson Wugou sighed softly, showing a rare bit of fatigue, and said with a wry smile: "Second brother, the world of Tang Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and the princess is also a person who knows how to take care of books. The people affected by the disaster prayed for blessings, donated money and goods, and called on the noble ladies of the world to support Princess Pingyang in disaster relief. If I can’t lead by example, how can I convince the public?”

The key point is that there is one thing that makes Changsun Wugou more difficult. Although the Changsun family also fully supports Li Shimin, Li Shimin's financial resources will always be comparable to Li Jiancheng.Not to mention that the Zheng family in Xingyang is a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse, and its financial resources and strength are far superior to that of the Changsun family. Besides, the joint firm of Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng is making money every day. Streams are incomparable.

In order to relieve the disaster, Princess Pingyang donated tens of thousands of guan at one time, in order to reach a consensus with the aristocratic families in Guanzhong and the world's wealthy families, so that the world's aristocratic families and wealthy families will not take advantage of the snow disaster to drive up food prices.Li Xiuning also took out huge benefits to make up for the losses of the major families. It is said that more than 40 rich and powerful families can get tens of thousands of sets of axles from the axle workshop in Chen's mansion, as well as the price of farm tools. also reduced by a third.

For this alone, Li Xiuning caused Chen Ying to lose no less than 20 yuan.

But Qin Wangfu's annual income is less than [-] guan.

Li Shimin was silent for a long while without speaking, feeling sour in his heart.He held Changsun Wugou's hand with one hand, and put his arm around her shoulders, holding her in his arms, and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Changsun Wugou had a sore nose and leaned on Li Shimin's shoulder.

The eldest grandson Wugou murmured: "I am already very content to meet my second brother. Back then there were many men with better family background than second brother, but there were only a handful of women who could take pity on women like second brother. The second brother is due to the virtues accumulated by the ancestors of the Changsun family, so I dare not expect more. As long as I can help the second brother a little, even if my body is broken, I will be willing to do it, and I will not hesitate."

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Shimin hereby swears that in this life, I will never let you down, if there is..."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wugou stepped forward and kissed Li Shimin's mouth.

Put Li Shimin's words back in his stomach.

After a long time, the two separated again.

At this time, Changsun Wugou suddenly looked at Li Shimin with some resentment, and said angrily: "Second brother, you are really serious, why do you sell for one hundred thousand guan, buy it "hold on to the silver edge, and then seek the golden horn" these eight days word..."

Li Shimin smiled disapprovingly: "Guanyin maidservant, do you think these eight characters are worth one hundred thousand guan?"

The eldest grandson Wugou was a little speechless: "Eight words are one hundred thousand, isn't it expensive?"

Li Shimin turned around, looked at his eldest grandson Wugou and said with a faint smile, "Is it expensive to exchange one hundred thousand crowns for a crown prince?"

Changsun Wugou looked at Li Shimin in surprise and murmured: "Second brother, you mean..."

Li Shimin sighed and said: "The older you are, the less courageous you are. Pei Xiangguo is always trying to make a country. He can say these eight words, but he has shown me the way. I knew it too late, so Liu Wenjing died. ..."

It must be Li Yuan's person who can become Xiangguo, there is no doubt about it.If this minister eats Li Yuan's food and cares about King Qin or the Crown Prince's heart, then this person is not far from death.

"Close to the silver edge, and then seek the golden corner!" This is clearly a chess language.Now, from top to bottom, Li Jiancheng, the prince, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has done a good job.

Li Shimin basically didn't have much chance. If he competed with Li Jiancheng for power in the central court, it would be like comparing himself with a donkey, and he must be humiliating himself.Now his only chance is not to buy Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshiji, Yang Gongren, Li Xiaogong, Xiao Shiwen, Feng Lun and other bigwigs, but to buy some low-level officials and wait for them.

Of course, the most important thing is to manage the silver side of Hedong well, and then seize the golden corner of Northwest.As long as he gets the east and the northwest, then he can have the chance to compete in the world.

……

In the side hall of the East Palace, Li Jiancheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.Li Jiancheng's strides were big and heavy, and he sounded like a giant beast, with a power that no one dared to underestimate.

Wei Ting opened his mouth.

Li Jiancheng suddenly said: "As long as you ask for something, you will definitely be inferior!"

Wei Ting nodded.

Li Jiancheng smiled softly again: "Pei Xiangguo, will he be bribed?"

Wei Ting shook his head and said, "As long as there are enough benefits!"

"Have you ever thought about what Erlang has?" Li Jiancheng asked back with a smile: "Money? Now the Donggong treasury has at least 50 guan, which I can withdraw from. If there is any shortage, Tongli Bank can also take out a million guan. If there are too many, if it is not enough, I can still borrow from you Jingzhao Wei, Hongnong Yang, and Xingyang Zheng, what does he have?"

When he said this, Li Jiancheng's tone was full of confidence and domineering.

Wei Ting thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, don't you need to talk to Pei Xiangguo?"

"No, there is no negotiation for the state reserve position!" Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Pei Ji is a smart person, he will never do stupid things, no matter how good his relationship with the emperor is, once he dares to intervene in this matter, he They will follow in Liu Wenjing's footsteps. Smart people know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

When he said this, Li Jiancheng suddenly thought of Chen Ying who was far away in the Western Regions.

At this moment, he finally understood why Chen Ying stayed away from the court, even though Li Xiuning gave birth after nine deaths, he never came back.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are the only ones who are most hopeful in the battle for the throne in the Li and Tang courts. No matter who wins the two of them in the end, it is impossible to do anything to Chen Ying.

After all, Chen Ying is Li Jiancheng's sister-in-law and Li Shimin's third brother-in-law.

Political struggle is actually an ideological battle, either you die or I live.Of course, if you want to imagine someone like Chen Ying who doesn't need to stand in line, there are actually many more.For example, Li Jing became the appeasement ambassador of Datang Lingnan Road and the chief inspector of Guizhou.

Li Jing has now become a rookie in Datang's army.

After destroying Xiaoxiao and Pingwen Shihong, and appeasing Lingnan, all 96 prefectures surrendered.In terms of military exploits, Li Jing is no worse than Chen Ying, but there are few major generals in the Lingnan army, and Li Jing's statement does not show it.

As Lingnan King of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing dismissed Li Shimin's envoy casually.

Li Jing didn't stand in line either.

Of course, this depends on strength.

If you want not to stand in line, there are actually two ways to not offend.But this method is not a panacea, and it is easy to attract joint suppression from both sides.

However, Li Jing was not worried.As he went all the way south, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and now the 96 Lingnan states are "convinced from far and near", and Li Yuan has no way to suppress such a hero, unless he wants to plunge Lingnan into a flame of war.

Li Jing doesn't stand in line, neither does Pei Ji.

Because, he is Li Yuan's close minister, the emperor's number one confidant.

Li Yuan's marks on him were too heavy.No matter whether it is Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, both of them will be emperors and courtiers, and they will directly kick Pei Ji aside.

Pei Ji was alone and had been Li Yuan's sole favorite for five years, so he should be content.

It's good for him to sell Li Shimin, and it's good to leave no trace. In fact, he just wants to form a good relationship and leave a way for future generations.

Gaoche City, in the Western Regions Protectorate's Mansion, looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Chen Ying murmured: "Wu De has been five years!"
