After leaving Cui's house, Li Xiang did not go back to the Eastern Palace directly, but found Changsun Pingting.
The Changsun family is now his most important partner. It would be better for Li Xiang to tell them directly than to hear some things from others. This would reduce a lot of trouble. If the words were passed on by a middleman, some of them might be misinterpreted. So Li Xiang went to Changsun Pingting as soon as possible.
According to the Changsun family, they are the only good partner in the liquor business, but Changsun Pingting is not stupid. According to the strength of the Changsun family, it is unwise to want to compete with the Cui family across the country.
Being able to obtain the agency rights of Chang'an City is already quite good. You should know that the daily sales of some provincial capitals in other provinces may be less than five kilograms, or even less than this number. In comparison, Chang'an City is a money jar.
"This is basically the negotiation between me and the Cui family. Of the fifty states I have acquired, I will give five to you, Aunt. What do you think?"
Li Xiang said generously that he had also obtained the territory of fifty states and immediately gave out one-tenth of it, which could be regarded as an explanation to the Changsun family.
Of course, Li Xiang had a reason for doing this. That day in the court, when Li Xiang had asked Lord Ma to submit a petition to establish a new government office, Changsun Wuji immediately expressed his support. This was the result of his investment. If the Changsun family had no benefits, why would Changsun Wuji support you in the court? He was a person who could influence the direction of the court. Five states was not much, but it was definitely not a small number.
"This is all the result of your discussion with that old fox of the Cui family. How could your aunt take advantage of you?"
Changsun Pingting's face felt a little hot. People kept calling her "Auntie". This matter had nothing to do with your Changsun family. If you directly take the shares of these five states, it would indeed be a bit too much.
"Besides this matter, my nephew has something to ask of you..."
Li Xiang was basically certain that it was Zatlk who assassinated him, but Li Xiang could not expose the power in his hands. The power he had exposed before was enough, so at this moment Li Xiang had to borrow troops from the Changsun family.
The strength that is displayed in the open is not considered strength, everyone will take it into account. Only when you hide in the dark will everyone continue to be afraid of you. When everyone does not know the strength in Li Xiang's hands, they will not dare to act rashly.
"That's absolutely correct. If anyone dares to assassinate you, we can't let them off. We must eliminate them all. I'll go back and tell your uncle to bring enough men. Shall we take action today?"
Speaking of this matter, Changsun Pingting was also very angry. On the one hand, it was because of her relationship with Li Xiang. On the other hand, she felt that these Hu people were too much. They dared to take action in Chang'an City. Did they really think that we couldn't find anything?
In fact, Zatlk's thinking was correct. He had hidden most of the traces. Li Xiang investigated for a long time but found nothing. The reason why he was found was because the Cui family turned against him. No matter how smart Zatlk was, he did not expect that Li Xiang could cooperate with the Cui family in such a short time. You know, they were still on the verge of a fight the day before.
"Let's not do anything today. Don't let the news leak out. I'm going to go out and find someone to go with me."
Li Xiang looked into the distance. He was very clear that it takes three to make a hero. If he fought alone, he would easily be surrounded by enemies from all sides. Therefore, he had to have some allies. The Changsun family was one, and the Cui family was half.
But if he wants to deal with those Tuyuhun people, this squad is not enough, Li Xiang has to find more allies.
"Whose house are you going to look for?"
Changsun Pingting said tentatively that the more allies Li Xiang had, the better, but for the Changsun family, if too many people entered, the benefits they would get in the future would be less.
In addition, there are some people who have conflicts with the Changsun family. If such people are brought in, it will be difficult to deal with this matter in the future.
"Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together in battle. My father can't spare any help from me, but my second uncle, third uncle, and ninth uncle are all there. I can't let them get away with it for nothing."
Li Xiang said happily. After hearing what Li Xiang said, Changsun Pingting immediately knew what Li Xiang was planning. Li Shimin has been advocating brotherly harmony over the years. Now Li Xiang has been assassinated by foreigners and has evidence in his hands. If these people do not help, once the emperor knows the news, they will probably have a hard time.
"You finally managed to plot their death."
Changsun Pingting stretched out her scallion-like fingers and pointed at Li Xiang's forehead.
"Aunt, you can't say that. I'm giving them a chance, a chance to show off in front of the Emperor."
Li Xiang looks like a good guy, but based on the expression on his face, no one can associate him with a good guy.
Prince Wei's Palace.
"What did you say? You were assassinated, and you asked me to send people to help you, and you asked me to send thirty good men?"
Li Xiang had never been to the Prince of Wei's mansion before, and Li Tai was already extremely puzzled by his presence today. After hearing what Li Xiang said, Li Tai instantly exploded. "Why should I help you when you're in trouble? Is our relationship really that good?" Although I'm your uncle, in this royal atmosphere, we're the most closely watched enemies.
"Uncle, you heard me right. I did ask you to help. Whose nephew wouldn't come to your uncle to help vent his anger after getting beaten?"
Li Xiang poured himself tea. When he came in just now, Li Tai asked all the servants to go out. He didn't want to serve Li Xiang. During this period of time, the two of them were fighting to the death. You still want my servants to serve you? Don't dream.
But Li Xiang was also very outgoing and not polite at all.
"Are we just an ordinary uncle-nephew relationship?"
Hearing what Li Xiang said, Li Tai became furious.
"Aren't we? Aren't you the emperor's second son, and am I the eldest grandson of the current emperor?"
Li Xiang knew that it would not be easy for Li Tai to help, so he had to put some pressure on him. According to common sense, it would be reasonable for a nephew to ask his uncle for help after being beaten. If you don't help, we will go to the palace to talk to him.
"you……"
Li Tai looked at Li Xiang, who was sitting with his legs crossed, and wanted to slap him, but he knew he couldn't do that at the moment. This kid had even brought up his father...
