Li Chengqian was also very smart. When Li Xiang thought about this matter, Li Chengqian immediately understood that Lu Dongzan came to show off so carelessly because he must have opened the letter from Li Shimin to Songtsen Gampo.
Although this is a heinous act, we have no right to interfere in this matter. Perhaps Songtsen Gampo gave Lu Dongzan this right, so even if you know that he did this, you can only watch from the side. Do you want to run to the plateau to report him?
"I envy the customs and people of the Tang Dynasty, especially their culture and Buddhism. It's worth studying here for a while, but I've been away from my country for too long. The return journey will take several months, so I have to leave early. I'm here today to bid farewell to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Although this guy was being polite, there wasn't a deep relationship between him and Li Chengqian. At most, they had met in the main hall. As for his relationship with Li Xiang, there was no question of it. When Li Xiang was about to search the Tubo Guild Hall a few days ago, the two of them almost had a fight. If you were to say that there was a friendship between them, I guess even the turtles in the moat wouldn't believe it.
"What a shame! The Prime Minister is so knowledgeable and talented. I was hoping to spend more time with him, but I don't know when the next time will be."
Li Chengqian's acting skills are also online at this moment. Lu Dongzan has been in Chang'an City for more than two months, and I haven't seen you communicate with him. What's the point of regretting it now!
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is very kind. I will need your care on the way back to Tubo."
Lu Dongzan's words were clearly a boast. He had long heard Li Xiang's outrageous claims. "Didn't you say you wouldn't let Changsun Pingting marry to the plateau?" Does that still count? Li Shimin had already explained most of the details in his reply to Songtsen Gampo. Could a letter from one ruler to another be false?
"Elephant..."
Li Xiang clenched his fists and really wanted to go up and beat this guy up. This guy didn't come here to say goodbye today, but to demonstrate in front of Li Xiang. Li Chengqian saw Li Xiang walking forward with clenched fists, and quickly reminded this guy that this is the East Palace, and you are the master here. If you beat Lu Dongzan here, you will be in big trouble. He is not an ordinary person now.
"Father, I have some trivial matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
After hearing what Li Xiang said, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that his son would lose control of his temper and beat this guy up in the Eastern Palace. By then, even with the emperor's protection, all the civil and military officials in the court would report him.
"Your Highness, we'll see you on the road."
Hearing Lu Dongzan's words, Li Xiang paused for a moment before walking out of the side hall. Li Chengqian also felt that Lu Dongzan was a bit too much. "Everyone knows you're here to show off, but you just won first place, and now you're still insisting on not giving up. Are you really a prime minister? Your mindset is really not up to par."
"Didn't you tell me not to bother me with business matters? I don't have time to deal with your affairs these days, so you can handle it yourself."
When he returned to his yard, Zhou Huairen and Zhu Runjiu were waiting there. They were the chief and second-in-command of the company. If something big had not happened, they would not have appeared here at the same time. But Li Xiang was in a bad mood at the moment, so the two of them could only lower their heads and take the blame. But no matter how Li Xiang persuaded them, they still had something to report after he finished speaking.
"Your Highness..."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he was about to go into the house. Zhou Huairen could only bite the bullet and shout, which meant that he had something important to report.
"Come in and have some tea. I'm not in a good mood today, so don't mind me, you two."
The situation was over, and Li Xiang knew what was going on. He couldn't lose his temper with his two subordinates now. After all, they had made great contributions to him. Whether it was the treasure or the commercial complex, they were the growth points of the entire Tang Dynasty economy. They had earned a lot of money for him and their contributions were huge. If Li Xiang treated them like this, it would be a bit indiscriminate.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The two men also wiped the sweat from their foreheads. What they reported was not a good thing, but they had to come and report it. If they didn't come and report it, they would not know what to do in the future. This was related to the progress of an important business of Zhidaobao.
"Just tell me if you have something to say."
Li Xiang tried hard to make his voice a little calmer, but he couldn't pretend to be so. It seemed that his acting skills needed improvement. However, there was one thing Li Xiang was sure of, that was his relationship with Changsun Pingting was definitely not an ordinary one, and an ordinary relationship would not make him so confused.
"Miss Changsun has sent us a letter stating that on the fourth day of next month, the Changsun family will send a new person to take over her position. We will need to contact the new person sent by the Changsun family regarding the sales of Datang Tianniang..."
Zhou Huairen briefly reported the matter, which further verified that what Lu Dongzan said was true.
The two men thought Li Xiang would be furious, but who knew that Li Xiang actually smiled coldly. "Do you think that leaving Chang'an City means victory? Since I have come to this era, I will never allow such a frustrating thing to happen. Do you really think you can get the beauty? Since the emperor has asked me to go to Tubo to announce the decree, then don't expect this to succeed."
"Just follow the instructions in Miss Changsun's letter and all profits will be distributed as usual."
Li Xiang is not so angry now. After all, as long as he gets over that hurdle in his heart and has a new fighting spirit, then this matter will not be a big deal. Our battlefield in the future will be on the Tubo Plateau, and today's victory or defeat will not be a big deal.
"Some of the shares are Miss's private shares and have nothing to do with the Changsun family. How should we deal with them?"
When Zhou Huairen said this, Li Xiang remembered another thing. When the cooperation just started, Li Xiang did give Zhangsun Pingting some private shares...
"We will take the trade route to Tibet and send it to the young lady later."
Li Xiang has already started planning. Someone will definitely be watching where this money goes. Sending it to Miss Zhangsun of Tubo will also mean that Li Xiang has acknowledged it...
