Chapter 31 I like the way you can't stand me but can't get rid of me

Li Xiang almost burst out laughing. How did Meng Reed get so angry by what you said?
What? You see the plums on the branches have turned green, and you want to drink wine with me and talk about heroes?

"What did you say, my dear? Why can't I understand?"

Li Xiang decided to play dumb.

"You traitor!"

Li Chengqian yelled, pointed at Li Xiang and shouted tremblingly: "It's not like I don't have money in the East Palace. If you want to use it, just take it directly! Why do you have to borrow money from the King of Wei?"

Oh, so I was jealous...

Li Xiang smiled secretly in his heart, this was also part of his plan.

If Li Chengqian didn't go to Li Tai to borrow money, how could he take the initiative to say "the money of the Eastern Palace can be used at will"?

One thing you must understand is that taking the initiative to ask Li Chengqian for help and Li Chengqian taking the initiative to talk to you are two different concepts.

Don't worry, just play with him.

"Do you think, father, that I will surrender to the King of Wei?" Li Xiang asked with his eyes wide open and a cute look on his face.

After hearing what Li Xiang said, Li Chengqian couldn't help but choke.

Although he is manic, he is not stupid.

Unlike Li Shimin, he was able to learn from past mistakes.

After all, he was still in a situation of suspicion between him and Li Shimin and his son, and he must not doubt Li Xiang anymore at this moment.

But he couldn't save face after all, so Li Chengqian snorted coldly and asked in the same arrogant tone as his father: "Then why did you go to the Prince of Wei's mansion to borrow money?"

"Oh, Aye, you don't know."

Li Xiang chuckled and nodded at the eunuchs around him.

"Everyone go down." Li Chengqian waved at those people.

Li Xiang said nothing and looked at Ruyi in Li Chengqian's arms again.

This woman was given by Han King Li Yuanchang, so we must be careful with her.

Ruyi stood up tactfully and said, "Prince, I will go down first."

"Yeah." Li Chengqian did not try to persuade him to stay.

After everyone left, Li Xiang came over and began to massage Li Chengqian's shoulders with a smile.

"Father, you know that I went to the residence of Grand Tutor Wei to become his disciple."

Li Xiang's massage technique is the result of long-term illness and he learned it from the blind masseur downstairs in his previous life.

Li Chengqian was so pressed that his resentment disappeared. In fact, he didn't have much resentment, he was just jealous.

"The Grand Tutor told me that he was worried about my father, so I gave him a plan to target the King of Wei!"

"Oh?" Li Chengqian was originally feeling comfortable being pinched, and his interest was immediately aroused when he heard this: "What's the trick? Tell me quickly!"

"Since it is useless for the Grand Tutor to submit memorials, I suggest that he try another approach and write a memoir." Li Xiang said with a chuckle.

Li Chengqian frowned slightly: "Memoirs? What is that?"

"It is to narrate what happened in the court from the perspective of the Grand Master." Li Xiang freed one hand and drew a circle in front of him with his finger: "In the memoir, describe how the King of Wei coveted the position of crown prince, and his double-faced behavior."

"Father, think about it, with Grand Tutor Wei's reputation, once his memoirs are published, people will surely rush to circulate them..."

The more Li Chengqian heard this, the brighter his eyes became. After hearing the last part, Li Chengqian slapped his thigh and cheered, "Great! Xiang'er's plan is really brilliant! Once this memoir comes out, his reputation as the King of Wei will be so great, hahahaha..."

After laughing, he looked at Li Xiang suspiciously and said, "What does this have to do with you going to the King of Wei to borrow money?"

Li Xiang did not rush to answer, but took a seal from the side.

Under Li Chengqian's curious gaze, Li Xiang pressed the seal on the paper. "Father, please look, if the words of the Grand Master's Memoirs were engraved in advance like this seal, there would be no need to copy them at that time, just like this..."

Li Chengqian stared at the seal in front of him, muttering, "If this is really possible, it will save the time of copying memoirs. I can print as many memoirs as I want!"

"Use King Wei's money to invent something to clean up King Wei's things..." Li Xiang whispered in Li Chengqian's ear.

Damn it? !
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Xiang in horror.

You kid...are so damn bad!
But...I like it!

He suddenly realized and said, "If you can use this technology to print other books, wouldn't the scholars and students in the world be grateful to you? This is a great achievement!"

"No, Aye." Li Xiang said patiently, "It's your kindness, Aye!"

"You mean?" Li Chengqian was shocked and immediately refused, "That's absolutely impossible. As a father, how can I take away the credit for my son's achievements? Isn't that against the father's way? No!"

He said this sincerely. Firstly, he felt it was embarrassing, and secondly, he thought that his reputation was already like this, so he might as well leave it to his son.

"This kind of reputation and achievements is what Grandpa needs most right now, so of course we should worry about what Grandpa worries about!" Li Xiang said sincerely, "Grandpa, you and I are one body, why should we be so clear about the distinction? As long as you can improve your status in Grandpa's heart and improve your impression in the hearts of the ministers, that is what my son wants..."

"Elephant!"

Li Chengqian held Li Xiang's hand, his lips trembling.

Li Chengqian was truly touched by his eldest son's filial piety.

He is willing to give such great achievements and fame to his father, isn't that filial piety enough?

It is precisely because of this that Li Chengqian cannot accept it at all.

"Don't say any more, Xiang'er." Li Chengqian patted Li Xiang's arm and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I absolutely cannot take the credit for this achievement."

"But..." Li Xiang wanted to persuade him again.

"Be obedient, Xiang'er." Li Chengqian patted Li Xiang's hand, his eyes showing a look of contentment: "Having a good son like you is the greatest blessing in my life!"

"Aye!"

Li Xiang was also a little moved, but the tears in his eyes were caused by the pain from stepping on his foot just now.

"Just go for it, Aye will support you from behind!" Li Chengqian looked at Li Xiang with a firm gaze.

Li Xiang: …

I'll thank you, Dad, if you don't give me a good life.

"Father, my father and I are of one mind and one heart, and we will definitely defeat the King of Wei!" Li Xiang looked determined.

After that, he said to Li Chengqian: "But... Aye's attitude towards the King of Wei needs to change. At least in front of Aye and the court officials, you need to act like a brother and respectful brother."

"My son, do you mean that I should learn to be hypocritical like him, the round-faced fat chicken?" Li Chengqian snorted.

"No, Aye, you have to be consistent in what you say and what you mean."

Li Xiang met Li Chengqian's puzzled look and explained with a smile: "You need to reposition yourself. You are the crown prince, you need to be confident! Besides, you have the help of your children and the memoirs of the Grand Tutor. The King of Wei will never be able to defeat you!"

"What you need to do now is to change your attitude and stop viewing the King of Wei as an opponent and instead view him as an ignorant younger brother. You also know that the King of Wei dislikes you and views you as an opponent. If you treat him with tolerance as both the crown prince and the elder brother, wouldn't that make him extremely frustrated?"

"There is a good saying, Aye!"

"What?" Li Chengqian's interest was piqued.

Li Xiang laughed and said in a mean way:

"I just like the way you can't stand me but can't get rid of me!"
