Chapter 59: Opening your mouth is a killer move (please read it later)
Since Li Xiang said so, Wei Zheng just went along with it.

He cursed fiercely: "It's all the fault of that old bastard Xiao Shiwen!"

Li Xiang didn't dare to respond. After all, this was a teacher scolding another teacher.

It is true that Heavenly Father killed Heavenly Brother.

Li Xiang took out the invitation at the right time and handed it to Wei Zheng, saying, "My student's restaurant will open tomorrow. This is the invitation to you, teacher."

There weren't so many rules in the Tang Dynasty, and it was tacitly accepted that a family had some property. In addition, Li Xiang also needed money to win people's hearts, so Wei Zheng didn't object to him starting a small business.

Wei Zheng took down the invitation, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Meng Ze is so powerful that he can even ask a saint to write the invitation?"

Li Xiang had no choice but to tell Wei Zheng the details of the situation and repeat Xiao Yu's words.

"Since Xiao Shiwen has already reminded you, I won't say much." Wei Zheng tapped the table with his fingers: "The support of your uncle is crucial. What I am worried about is that he will take advantage of the rare opportunity and go to find the King of Jin..."

Otherwise, this person is just a person...

"Teacher, why do you say that?" Li Xiang still wanted to hear the teacher's analysis.

Wei Zheng smiled, glanced at Li Xiang, and said in a leisurely tone: "Your uncle is obsessed with power and thinks highly of himself. If the crown prince or the king of Wei ascends the throne, they are older and will not obey his orders. King Jin is still young and does not have much experience in governing the country, so he will definitely rely on him..."

"Teacher, do you think that Uncle Yao will be manipulated by Uncle Grandpa?" Li Xiang asked hesitantly.

"That won't happen. Your youngest uncle may look cowardly and honest, but he is actually as vicious and decisive as your great-grandfather."

Wei Zheng stroked his beard and smiled. In just a few words, he analyzed Li Zhi thoroughly.

There is nothing wrong with what he said. Li Zhi and Li Yuan are indeed very similar, especially in terms of their irresponsibility. They are exactly the same.

Among Old Li’s three legitimate sons, none of them is easy to deal with.

Wei Zheng added: "But you don't have to worry too much. Your uncle has been cautious all his life. If the prince's position becomes more stable, he will not take any risky actions."

"What you need to do is to consolidate the crown prince's position while winning him over to your side."

"I understand, teacher." Li Xiang nodded.

"If one day you ascend the throne, how will you treat Duke Zhao?" Wei Zheng asked casually.

Li Xiang scratched his head and said with a smile: "Just do as grandma said. Give her the utmost honor and favor, but no real power."

Wei Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, looking very pleased.

"Good, good, good..."

He said "OK" three times in a row, then took out a stack of manuscripts from the side and handed them to Li Xiang.

"Here is the first volume of your Memoirs, as you call them. Take it."

Li Xiang took the memoir and put it away carefully: "Teacher, don't worry."

"Well, go ahead." Wei Zheng waved his hand, signaling Li Xiang to get out quickly.

I still have to write my memoirs...

What Li Xiang didn't know was that after leaving Wei Zheng's residence, Wei Zheng wrote down eight words on a piece of paper: "generous and kind, calm and decisive".

He plans to write these eight words in his memoirs.

The last time Li Xiang came to the Duke of Zhao's mansion with Li Chengqian, he had already become familiar with the doorman. Seeing Li Xiang coming, the doorman did not dare to neglect him and immediately went to report.

Soon, his uncle Chang Sun Chong came out to greet him.

"I didn't know the prince was coming, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I hope you'll forgive me." Chang Sun Chong bowed politely.

To be honest, Chang Sun Chong left a very good impression on Li Xiang. He was very much like a gentleman.

"Uncle, you are embarrassing me..." Li Xiang immediately stepped forward to help Chang Sun Chong up: "I dare not call you Prince in front of my elders, so you can just call me Meng Ze."

"Meng Ze?"

Chang Sun Chong didn't react for a moment, and he didn't think about the name. After all, men usually get a name when they turn 20. "My master...Mr. Song gave me the name yesterday."

Li Xiang originally wanted to say Lao Xiao, but quickly held it back.

Li Xiang got along so well with Lao Xiao that he always forgot his age.

It is a friendship between people of different ages.

"I see. Then I am overstepping my authority." Chang Sun Chong smiled at Li Xiang and said, "Meng Ze, please."

"Uncle, please." Li Xiang also gave way.

The two of them entered the main hall together, where Changsun Wuji was sitting.

When he saw Li Xiang coming, he was about to stand up, but he saw Li Xiang bowing politely.

"Great nephew Li Xiang greets great uncle."

"Prince, please embarrass me." Changsun Wuji was not willing to accept it and immediately signaled Changsun Chong to help him up.

Li Xiang also has a clever plan to deal with Changsun Wuji's non-stick pan.

"Uncle, don't you want to get close to me?"

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji's eyelids twitched.

Good boy, the moment you open your mouth you have a killer move, right?
When playing cards, use the bomb first, and when fighting in a team, use the big move first?
Seeing that Changsun Wuji was somewhat embarrassed, Changsun Chong came to the rescue at the right time and said, "Father, Mengze is close to me, and he is also your nephew. This is also how close Mengze is to you."

Changsun Wuji sighed inwardly. The situation was not clear yet. Was he trying to get close to her?
If that bastard prince does something wrong one day, I, your father, will be implicated!
But since his son said so, Changsun Wuji could not possibly not give his son this face.

"In this case, I will not be distant with Meng Ze."

Li Xiang stepped forward at the right time, took out the prepared invitation from his arms and handed it over.

"Uncle, this is an invitation for you."

Chang Sun Wuji took the invitation and asked, "What is this?"

"Oh, I and a few friends opened a restaurant in the East Market. It will be open tomorrow. I want to invite my uncle to come and support us." Li Xiang said with a smile.

Open a restaurant?

Changsun Wuji actually didn’t want to go very much. He was about to refuse when he saw the handwriting on the invitation.

He immediately opened the invitation, looked at Li Xiang in doubt and asked, "This invitation... is from the hand of a saint?"

"Ah... yes." Li Xiang scratched his head and said, "Aunt happened to be free just now, so he helped me write a few invitations..."

When Changsun Wuji heard these words, they had another meaning.

“Specially”, wrote “several” invitations for him?
Among these, the one given to me happens to be included?
If it was Li Xiang's own intention, then forget it. But now...it actually contains Li Shimin's holy intention?

It's hard not to think deeply, especially for someone as calculating as Changsun Wuji.

In his opinion, the first meaning was that Li Shimin wrote this invitation specifically for him, meaning that he should go and show his support.

The second meaning is that Li Shimin attaches great importance to this grandson.

It’s just an invitation for the opening of a restaurant, but he actually helped to write it himself?

Isn't this respect? Can you translate for me what respect is?

Will this kind of attention change the prince's situation? Will it break the current balance between the prince and the king of Wei in terms of status and favor?
He weighed the matter for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"In that case, I will definitely go there tomorrow to show my support to Meng Ze!"
