Li Wenhao replied with a smile. Li Jiancheng's words were obviously a compliment, but actually a reminder.
In the emperor's family, imperial power is always ahead of family affection. Family affection is just an additional condiment.
Back in Chang'an City, Li Wenhao was taken to Tai Chi Palace by Li Shimin before he had time to go to Empress Changsun to report his safety.
"Dalang, now Xieli is planning to cease fighting, and he has sent a letter asking us to provide 20 shi of food and grass for him to withdraw from the army..."
"Ha ha!"
"Ha ha!"
……
Li Wenhao hummed twice with a half-smile, "He wants to ask us for food and then continue fighting with us?"
"Who do you really think is a fool?"
"I can't give it, not even a single grain of rice, not only can't give it, but also cut off a piece of flesh from him."
"Dalang, what do you think?"
Li Shimin asked with a smile, he really wants Li Wenhao to negotiate with Jieli because this way, not only will Li Wenhao, the crown prince, be in a stable position, but his prestige will be higher, and he will have a greater right to speak in the court. By then, their father and son will be united , will definitely make Datang the most powerful country on this continent.
"If you have no idea, just tell Xieli, if you don't leave, then there will be a decisive battle. Do you think he will leave or not?"
"If there is a decisive battle, the loss to me will be too great."
Fang Xuanling asked, there was actually a bit of consideration in his words.
"I also know that it will be a big loss to us, but Jieli doesn't dare to fight. If he dares to break the boat, the city of Chang'an will be destroyed long ago. Why do we have to wait until today?"
"It's not that I look down on him. Grassland Eagle, after all, is on the grassland. I haven't seen the prosperity of my Central Plains."
"Dalang, how sure are you?"
"Ten percent, if we can't reach an agreement, I'll kill him directly."
Fang Xuanling: "..."
Du Ruhui: "..."
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Li Shimin: "..."
They knew that Li Wenhao was fierce, but the words he spoke were like tigers and wolves, which was really scary.
What do you mean behead him if you can't reach an agreement?
That is the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Okay, I scared you guys, don't worry, we can talk well, besides, I can't kill him, if I kill him, who will fight with Tuli in the grassland?"
Li Wenhao glanced at this group of bigwigs who had never seen the world before, curling his lips.
"Father, please write to Jieli. Three days later, the Weishui River is next to the bridge. I will go and talk to him in person."
After speaking, Li Wenhao went straight to the harem to pay his respects to Empress Changsun.
"Sister Changge is here too!"
Li Wenhao couldn't move his eyes when he saw Li Changge standing behind Empress Changsun. As for what Empress Changsun said, I'm sorry, I really didn't hear it. His brain subconsciously ignored other people's words.
"I've seen Brother Prince!"
Li Changge saluted softly.
"I've seen Brother Prince!"
Li Lizhi, who had been watching the excitement, also imitated Li Changge's tone and said something, which immediately made the people in Empress Changsun's palace burst into laughter.
"Dalang, after this battle is over, let's settle the matter between you and Changge!" Empress Changsun suppressed a smile and said.
"Thank you mother."
Li Wenhao's happiest thing is the words of Empress Changsun.
After bidding farewell to Empress Changsun, Li Wenhao returned to the East Palace. Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji had been waiting for him here for a long time.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"Why did I come here? If I don't come again, I'm afraid you will break the sky?"
"What's the matter if you don't retreat from the camp? Although your father didn't show any displeasure, you are the prince after all, and you know it well, and there are some things that you have to avoid."
"Also, you have been in the limelight recently, it's time to restrain yourself. If you don't go to court, it's because you haven't seen the attitude of the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Cui family in Qinghe towards you. It takes half an hour to go to court every day. This hour is to say that you are not good, you have to learn to hide the front"
Changsun Wuji said earnestly.
Now in the court, no matter which group of forces it is, everyone knows that as long as Li Wenhao grows up normally, the worst achievement in the future will be Li Shimin. grow up.
(Li Shimin: When did I become a unit of measurement?)
After all, the world is not dominated by their old Li family today. Although Li Shimin intends to rectify those aristocratic families and reuse the poor family, this is a gradual process after all. Otherwise, he may repeat the mistakes of the previous Sui Dynasty. Like Qin Shihuang, to be the second emperor through the ages, unfortunately, there is no ambition of Qin Shihuang, but no life of Qin Shihuang, this dream of the emperor through the ages can only come to naught in the end.
Moreover, most of the departments in the imperial court and most of the people's livelihood industries in Datang are monopolized by the five surnames and Qiwang. Of course, the most important thing is the land. The amount of land owned by the family is unimaginable. It is better than Li Shimin also had to act cautiously, and sometimes even made corresponding concessions.
How to say something?
A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family.
The five surnames and Qiwang have gone through several dynasties, and some can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Warring States Period, all dynasties perished, and they are still there, which is enough to prove their strength.
"Uncle, I know everything you said, but you forgot one thing!"
"what's up?"
"The dead don't need to open their mouths. Moreover, I believe that on the way of my cavalry charge, everyone within the range of my longbow will respect me."
"In these aristocratic families, the father does not move, and I want to. They have poisoned the world for too long, and they all say that poor families have no noble sons. With such a family, how can the poor family have a day of success?"
Chapter 55 Dismissal? (The third watch will be delivered, and there will be two more at night, let me have a meal)
The conversation between Changsun Wuji and Li Wenhao continued until late at night.
As the conversation deepened, Changsun Wuji became more and more frightened as he listened.
Some of Li Wenhao's views even sounded like putting the cart before the horse in Changsun Wuji's ears.
For example, Li Wenhao proposed to encourage trade and give businessmen some convenience in doing business, which seemed impossible to Changsun Wuji.
In the hierarchical system of feudal society, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants will always be at the bottom of the ranks. This is a rigid rule in the eyes of the ancients.
What's more, Li Wenhao said that he should study printing technology so that everyone in the world can read.
From Changsun Wuji's point of view, this is no different from dreaming.
Why can the family survive?
Is it just because there are more people and more money?
wrong.
The reason why the aristocratic family can stand for thousands of years is because they are in charge of cultural output.
You are from a humble family, no matter how talented you are, it will be nothing if you have no channels to learn, but joining a family is different. If you join a family, you can immediately get the best resources, and with the help of the family behind you, it will cost you almost nothing. You can find a position in the officialdom.
In this way, one generation after another, a huge family came out.
If Li Wenhao can really develop the printing technique, it will be a good thing for the world, but it may not be good for him.
It can be predicted that when neatly printed books appear in the world, these aristocratic families will hoard like crazy, attack Li Wenhao like crazy, and even do some outrageous things.
After all, the people of the family only have the family in their eyes, not the country.
In their eyes, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor. No matter who the emperor is, they have to rely on them to help govern the country, which can be regarded as controlling the world in disguise.
This is why Kong Yingda was so confident when facing Li Yuan a few years ago.
"By the way, uncle, who is the deputy envoy who will go with me to have peace talks with Xieli?"
"Hehe! What do you think, others can hold your donkey?"
Uh!
Li Wenhao scratched his head. At first he thought it was Fang Xuanling, but he didn't expect his uncle to accompany him. But this is also a good thing. After all, Changsun Wuji and Li Wenhao are of the same mind. If he doesn't agree with etiquette, Li Wenhao can stab a hundred transparent holes in his body before he can reach the Wei River.
Three days later, Li Wenhao left Chang'an City wearing fresh clothes and a golden armor representing his noble status.
This time he only brought four thousand owl ghost troops.
When the team reached the Weishui Bridge, they could already see Jieli's large tent of the Chinese army on the opposite side from a distance, and there were even Turkic scouts waiting by the bridge, always reporting Li Wenhao's location.
"Come, unfold the gift we gave Xieli."
"Yes!"
Two soldiers of the Owl Ghost Army erected a flagpole with a large golden banner hanging on it. It was the Jieli banner that Li Wenhao had captured by the Wei River.
On the top of the big banner hung a war knife and a golden helmet, needless to say, both belonged to Xieli.
Today he, Li Wenhao, did not come empty-handed, at least he brought back what Jieli had thrown away.
"Report! Khan, Li Wenhao has already crossed the Weishui Bridge, but..."
"Just what, say."
Jie Li said viciously.
Now don't mention how out of breath he is.
Originally, 20 troops could drive straight into Chang'an City, but they were put together by their pig teammates. Otherwise, they would definitely be able to drink in Chang'an City now. Why should they suffer such humiliation and negotiate with others, begging others to let themselves go a way out.
"He ordered people to hang up the big Khan's golden wolf banner, and on it were hung the Khan's helmet and sword."
"What? Shuzi is too deceitful."
Jieli subconsciously wanted to take out his saber and fight, but he stretched out his hand to feel for nothing before he remembered that his saber was on his way home now, "Huh! Tell the boys, stand still for me, don't be shy , set up a halberd gate for me, and burn a cauldron of hot oil for me, and put it right in front of the big tent, I want to see if he, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, will avoid it?"
Xieli's intentions are not without insidiousness, and this dismounting might be said to be out of focus.
The halberd gate, after Li Wenhao thought about it, he must bow his head. As for the big tripod at the gate, Li Wenhao deliberately let Li Wenhao bypass it, so that he could not go straight into the big tent.
But who is Li Wenhao?
Thanks to the fact that the mount under his crotch has no wings, otherwise, do you think his feet can touch the ground?
