Indeed, in the royal study just now, he had indeed forced Cui Caizhe to admit defeat and surrender. He had forced the head of the Qinghe Cui family to leave in embarrassment and anger. It was indeed very satisfying.
But now, facing Li Shiming's cold and stern face, Li Chengqian was filled with regret.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have had to face Li Shiming's angry face and wait for Li Shiming's criticism. This wait lasted for almost an hour.
What Li Chengqian couldn't stand the most was that Li Shimin was sitting comfortably while he was standing.
After Li Shimin finished reading the last document, he raised his head slowly." Men, please take your seats!"”
As soon as Li Chengqian sat down, Li Shimin said,"Crown Prince, do you know why I grounded you for a month? It was clearly that censor of the Cui family who was rude first?”
Now that even Cui Clan of 5 surnames and 7 Wangs was defeated by Li Chengqian, the plan of Li the Second Emperor to polish Li Chengqian with the help of Cui Clan was ruined.
Since that was the case, Li Shimin could only tell the story himself.
Through analyzing the foundations of the great clans, he told Li Chengqian how dangerous this time was, so that he could have more thoughts in the future, learn to endure, learn to think, and learn to let go.
Li Chengqian touched his thin arms and legs and muttered,""I know! Isn't it just because father wanted to protect me from the Cui family?。。”
Li Shi Min was stunned. He had never thought that Li Chengqian would say such a thing.
Well... As expected of my son, as expected of the Crown Prince that I personally conferred, to actually be able to take my painstaking efforts…gratified ah, hahaha, I am very gratified ah!
Eh--
Wait a minute! Something didn't seem right!
Li Shiming suddenly frowned and stared at Li Chengqian, who was massaging his legs.
'Since this brat understands my painstaking efforts to ground him and knows that I'm protecting him from Cui Clan's harm, it means…'。。
This brat was so stubborn to the censor of Cui family just now. He didn't even care about Cui Caizhe's face. It wasn't that a newborn calf wasn't afraid of a tiger, but that he did it on purpose!
Could it be that this brat still had some trump card? Or could it be that this brat knows that I will help him clean up his mess, so he is so unscrupulous?
That's right! There was absolutely no mistake!
This brat definitely thinks that I have his back, that's why he's doing this.。。It's killing me, it's killing me!
Li Shi Min's veins bulged as he gritted his teeth and looked at the unrepentant Li Cheng Qian. He said word by word,"Crown Prince, you are still young, so this one can use the excuse of your youth and ignorance to protect you. But one day, when you grow up and stir up trouble, standing in the court and facing the impeachment of the great clans, this one will not protect you like today.”
" Oh, your son understands…" Li Chengqian replied absent-mindedly. He looked at the calligraphy hanging on the wall of Li Shimin's study, wondering if he could find a chance to take a few copies out. With Li Shimin's seal on it, it would definitely sell for a lot of silver.
"This brat!"
Li Shi Min was furious!
He rushed down and kicked Li Chengqian's exposed butt.
"Father?" Li Chengqian came back to his senses and was puzzled.
"Unfilial son, you better explain it clearly. You brat, are you a newborn calf that doesn't know the tiger? Or is it on purpose!" Li Shi Min shouted with a dark face.
"What on purpose?" Li Chengqian pretended to be pitiful.
"He deliberately forced the censor of the Cui family to death and deliberately did not give face to the Minister of Personnel, Cui Caizhe.”Li Shi Min said.
" This, this…" Li Chengqian was a little hesitant. He looked up at his father, Li Er, and said carefully,""Imperial Father, if your son tells the truth, you can't kick my butt.”
"Tell me!" Li Shi Min said with a dark face.
"Actually, I just want to teach Cui Clan a lesson! Who asked Cui Clan to encroach on my Tang Icehouse…Ah! Imperial Father, you didn't keep your word!"
Li Chengqian had just finished speaking when a strong force came from his butt. He touched his butt pitifully.
"Zhen did not agree to your request!”Li Shiming's face darkened." Just because of the Tang Empire's ice cellar, you don't mind offending the Cui Family?" You dare to ignore Cui Caizhe's expression? You want to force an imperial censor to death? Do you know what kind of impact it will have on your position as the Crown Prince if you force the Imperial Censor to death and are used by someone with ill intentions?”
"Humph, they won't. Cui Clan doesn't dare to do that!”Li Chengqian snorted proudly.
"Hmm? What else have you done, you rascal!”Li Shiming raised his eyebrows and gave Li Chengqian's butt another slap.
"Father, do you know how much profit the Cui family wants to get from this Tang icehouse?”
As Li Chengqian spoke, he proudly extended eight fingers."It's not 30%, not 40%, and not 80%. Your son's Tang icehouse has eight times the interest!”
"Eight times interest!" Li Shi Min exclaimed.
"Yeah, eight times the interest! "After I learned that the Cui family wanted to get their hands on the Tang Ice Cellar, I gave 50% of the shares to Fang Yiai, Zhangsun Huan, Xiao Shoudao, Du He, and the other seven people…" Li Chengqian said meaningfully.
Li Shi Min frowned. After a long time, he sighed,"I see…"
"But crown prince, have you ever thought that even though Cui Clan chose to swallow their anger because of Fang Clan and Du Clan, Cui Clan has always hated you?”Li Shi Min asked.
"Father, believe it or not, in less than three years, not only will the Cui family not hate me, but they will also try their best to curry favor with me.”Li Chengqian's tender face was filled with confidence.
A mere saltpeter ice could bring eight times the profit!
What about the steel pouring method? Distillation? Making perfume? Making soap? Making coal stoves…
In the face of absolute benefits, even if they were mortal enemies, they could become sworn brothers of the opposite sex!
Not to mention the Cui family! Even if there were two, three, or four Cui Clans working together, Li Chengqian could still use the cannon of interest to blast apart the city wall that they thought was hard!
This was the reason why Li Chengqian dared to provoke the Cui Clan!
