Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 191 Li Chengqian loses his composure, a huge scandal
The Li Tang royal family was powerful because of the clan power.

One is derived from the ancestor Li.

Another thing is that Li Yuan and Li Shimin were very fertile.

During the Wude period, Li Yuan's daughters married many ministers.

After Li Shimin came to power, another group of princesses married off.

The political marriage between two generations has created the current situation.

When Li Chengqian pulled them all out, the power of the Li Tang royal family and clan was so shocking.

Not to mention that all the officials were frightened.

The parties involved did not expect that their collective support would create such a huge momentum.

No more surprises.

Wei Zheng's opposition was just an interlude, and the prince's stay in Beijing became a foregone conclusion.

It is only natural that the fiefdom was abolished.

Everyone shouted the slogans in front of the court officials, and then forgot about it the next moment, right?

How can this be.

Li Chengqian also struck while the iron was hot and pushed the matter forward to finalize it.

Afterwards, the princes would make their own choices and wait for possible fiefdoms outside the country.

The grand court meeting ended.

Li Shimin's mood remained in an extremely happy state.

But when he heard that the princes and princesses were going to the East Palace for a seafood dinner, his expression fell a little.

"Don't call me!"

"You didn't call me."

"You guys had a meal to celebrate, did you forget about me?"

……

"Brother, isn't it bad not to call me father?"

Li Ke asked cautiously.

There was a table full of big fish and shrimps, which they rarely saw.

The cooking method is very clever and very appetizing.

"If His Majesty is here, can you let go?"

Li Chengqian never thought of asking Li Shimin to come.

What do you want him to do?
Look at him putting on airs.

Let’s drink the northwest wind in Taiji Palace.

"That's true."

Li Ke thought to himself and said nothing more.

He looked at his brothers and princesses and couldn't help but sigh.

Only under the leadership of my brother can we all get together.

"Brother Prince, how about giving me this recipe?"

Gao Yang is the owner of the largest restaurant in Chang'an.

When she saw this new seafood dish, she was immediately attracted.

If this is sold in a restaurant, it will definitely be sold at a high price.

"It doesn't matter if I give it to you."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "But do you know the transportation cost of the raw materials?"

"Very high?"

Gao Yang asked, "How much did these things cost, Prince?"

"I don't know the exact amount. It was sent to the East Palace from Jiangnan."

Li Chengqian said, "But if we can keep it fresh and transport it from the south of the Yangtze River to Chang'an, can you estimate how much it would cost?"

Gao Yang stuffed a mouthful into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "Ship it from Jiangnan, and keep it fresh, the cost will probably be ridiculously high."

"The weather is not too hot right now." Changle said, "If it gets hot, I don't know how many people will die when they are transported here."

"You're afraid you'll lose money."

She probably has an idea.

If the prince wants food, the Jiangnan nobles will send it to him no matter how much it costs.

Cost is not even a consideration.

As long as they can please the Crown Prince, they will make a profit.

But Gao Yang wants to make money, so he obviously can't do this.

"So, I can't make this deal?"

Gao Yang said frustratedly: "Such a good thing, but I can only look at it but not eat it... Alas."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Chengqian said: "Why don't you ask Zhinu to see if he has any solution?"

Gao Yang's eyes lit up, "Chi Nu, help your sister, I will give you a reward later."

Li Zhi had no choice but to say, "Tiangongfang has a process for turning saltpeter into ice."

“You don’t have to wait until winter to have ice.”

"Sister Seventeen wants to send seafood to Chang'an, so this can be used to preserve it..."

“The cost of making ice isn’t too high.”

Hearing this, Gao Yang was overjoyed and began to think about how to make this deal.

Li Chengqian was delighted, otherwise he would not have said it.

When seafood was sent to Chang'an, only the powerful and influential people could afford it.

As long as there is sales channel and money can be made, a transportation industry can be born along the line from Jiangnan to Chang'an.

Don't underestimate this transportation industry.

Being able to boost food and accommodation consumption in towns along the route is definitely not empty talk.

Moreover, once there is not enough fishing in the near-shore areas, the desire to go to the deep sea will inevitably drive the shipbuilding industry.

It is not impossible for a food to drive all aspects of the industrial chain.

Once the trend of eating seafood becomes popular in Chang'an City, travelers and merchants traveling from north to south will follow suit.

Don’t talk about Chang’an then.

I'm afraid that people in Jiannan, and even in Anxi, have spent a lot of money to enjoy it.

"Brother Prince."

Li Pangpang loves eating, which can be seen from his body shape.

One person can kill quite a few.

He felt it was about time, so he opened his mouth and shouted, but he was a little cautious and hesitated to speak.

"Qingque, what's wrong?"

"What's the matter?"

Li Chengqian asked, today's Fatty Li was also very good, and he could consider giving him a big crab.

"Is such that."

Li Pangpang said: "The compilation of the Zhenguan Encyclopedia has reached a certain bottleneck."

"I sent people to borrow books from those families, but there was no response."

"I visited in person, and also..."

Li Chengqian roughly understood it.

Li Pangpang was turned away.

He had previously thought of using him to collect some of the books from the aristocratic families.

When everyone heard what Li Pangpang said, they looked at him with scrutiny.

It would be a great honor for you, the King of Wei, to ask for their collection of books.

"Brother Prince, could you please come out and help me borrow some?" said Fatty Li.

"no problem."

Li Chengqian agreed immediately and said, "Sanlang, ask Duke Song if he has any books."

"If you have any, send it to Shiro first."

Li Ke nodded and said, "I understand."

"Thank you, brother. Thank you, third brother."

Li Pangpang was very happy, as he finally had some clues.

"Brother, little Sizi wants to eat that, give it to me."

The little Sizi ran around and didn't sit even when there was a seat.

Li Chengqian picked her up and asked her with a smile what she wanted to eat. He pointed his finger and someone brought the food over.

"Da Lang."

Gao Yang suddenly shouted, "Where is Erlang?" "Why can't I see him?"

Li Xiang, who had been eating frantically, was stunned. He looked up at everyone and saw that Aunt Gao Yang was talking to him. "I don't know."

"I haven't seen Jiro for a long time."

Then he continued to work.

This guy is really a super eater.

That physique is much stronger than the adults present.

"You little brat, you're still eating even though your brother has gone."

Gao Yang taught him, snatched the plate from him and refused to let him eat.

"Aunt Gaoyang, I really don't know. You can ask Aye."

Li Chengqian said, "Okay Gaoyang, Erlang has gone somewhere else, so don't ask."

"You're so old, but you still bully Dalang."

Gao Yang returned the plate to Li Xiang and said, "Brother, you let Dalang eat like this. Look at what he's going to become."

"I stood in front of him like a little girl."

Changle teased, "You're a little girl and you're not happy about it."

"Sister, I'm serious."

Gao Yang couldn't bear it anymore and said coquettishly: "Look at his arms, they are thicker than my thighs."

"How did you raise the prince?"

"Won't you become a wild beast after this?"

Li Xiang remained silent. He had no right to speak among the group of uncles and aunts.

I'm just complaining in my heart. I'm doing this to myself. I've done it to you. I've provoked you.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Changle hit Gao Yang. "Dalang is blessed to be able to eat. Don't bother with your aunt Gao Yang. She doesn't speak in a proper way."

But everyone agreed with Gao Yang's words.

Judging from Li Xiang's physical appearance, he will definitely become a humanoid beast in the future.

But that's okay.

He is the eldest son of a concubine, not the legitimate son.

The banquet is over.

Li Chengqian sent everyone away, but unexpectedly Changle came back.

"what happened?"

"Brother, I have something that I don't know if I should tell you."

Changle seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if it was difficult for her to start.

"What's making you so embarrassed?"

Li Chengqian smiled.

"Let Zhinu and Changsun Chong go out first."

Changle said.

Chang Sun Chong felt unhappy instantly.

I am your man.

You still want to avoid me, right?
There was no choice, Li Chengqian waved his hand and they had to leave.

There were only two of them left.

"What's the matter that requires such caution?" Li Chengqian was also quite curious.

"oops."

Changle sat down and said through gritted teeth: "That's it."

"One of my managers is doing business with Tuyuhun."

"I came back a few days ago and told you something."

Tuyuhun?
What could be happening over there?

Li Chengqian knew that the smuggling trade in Tuyuhun had been going on and that there was great chaos within Tubo.

Can't stand it anymore.

Especially after Ludong Zangga's death, Songtsen Gampo could no longer handle the situation alone.

"Honghua gave birth to a boy last year."

Li Chengqian nodded subconsciously, then narrowed his eyes slightly. Judging from Changle's reaction, there was something wrong, otherwise she wouldn't look so embarrassed.

"You mean there's something wrong with this boy?"

He was reluctant to think about the worst possible scenario.

But the Princess of the Tang Dynasty is really a cause for concern.

Changle lowered her head and looked at Li Chengqian carefully, saying, "There are rumors in Tuyuhun that this boy is not a loyal hero."

"I……!"

The thing I least wanted to see finally happened.

Li Chengqian spat out a mouthful of blood, which almost came up to his throat.

"Whose?" he asked in a deep voice, with a very unfriendly look.

"The Prime Minister of Tuyuhun, Li Yifu!"

Li Chengqian almost lost his balance and was trembling all over. "Is it confirmed?"

"I sent someone to investigate, it should be his."

"Li Yifu is a man of great power in Tuyuhun, and he is very close to Honghua. It can be said that they are close friends."

Changle said: "Zhonglie drinks all day to drown his sorrows. He is not close to Honghua at all, and he doesn't care about the children."

What should?
Li Chengqian knew that the Tang princess was wild and difficult to tame, and it was almost certain that she was the daughter of Honghua and Li Yifu.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such groundless rumors.

The year before last, the Tang Dynasty held a flag-raising ceremony. Honghua did not come, but Zhonglie did.

Li Chengqian didn't care either.

She was born last year. Doesn’t that mean that Honghua got pregnant even though she didn’t attend the flag-raising ceremony?
"Bastard!"

"Dog men and women!"

Li Chengqian shouted angrily: "Chang Sun Chong!"

"Chen is here!"

Chang Sun Chong ran in hurriedly.

"Pass on my order to immediately dismiss Li Yifu from his position as Prime Minister of Tuyuhun and escort him back to the capital."

"what?"

Chang Sun Chong was stunned.

"Go!"

"What are you still doing?"

Li Chengqian yelled in a panic.

"Yes!"

"I'll go right away."

Chang Sun Chong crawled out tumbling. He had never seen the prince lose his composure like this before.

Li Yifu was dismissed and brought back to Beijing.

What did you do?
Li Chengqian gave Changle a fierce look, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I just know it, but I dare not say it." Changle didn't dare to look at him.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath.

This is a scandal!

A huge scandal.

For the Li family, this was absolutely a huge disgrace.

Some of the frivolous behaviors of the Li family's children were criticized by others.

Now that such a scandal has occurred, isn't it just adding insult to injury?

For Li Chengqian and Li Shimin, it was a huge loss of face in front of the people of the world.

Li Chengqian felt his face burning hot.

Is the image of Li that I worked so hard to create going to be destroyed by this spendthrift woman?
"Changle, go to the palace immediately and tell His Majesty."

"Tell me in detail, don't miss a single word."

Li Chengqian said quickly: "Remember, you must keep the news secret."

"Especially for Tuyuhun, Your Majesty must not be lenient and let Li Junxian go in person."

He paced back and forth impatiently, "Chung Yeol, you coward, you cuckold!"

"Let him acknowledge my son. If he doesn't, let me acknowledge him!"
