Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 121

In Du Ruhui's other courtyard, Li Ke and several core members of the Shu Royal Party got together again.

Li Ke called everyone over this time, naturally to discuss the matter of reconciliation with Chairman Sun Wuji.

These members of the King of Shu Party are all shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce, and they have been fighting with Changsun Wuji for a long time. Naturally, they should be informed of this matter.

Li Ke was a little worried. These people had been fighting with Changsun Wuji for a long time, and they might not agree to Changsun Wuji's reconciliation.

But in any case, this is an opportunity to allow chambers of commerce to develop faster across the country.

"My lords, Ke called everyone here today because I have something important to discuss with everyone!"

Li Ke got straight to the point, and everyone fell silent, sitting quietly in the hall, waiting for Li Ke's orders.

"Lord Changsun intends to reconcile with us. What do you think of this matter?"

As he spoke, he watched everyone's faces, and wanted to prepare his speech in advance to persuade everyone.

But when the matter was halfway through, everyone was still concentrating, and no one raised any objections.

Even Cheng Yaojin, who has always been the most impulsive, just frowned deeply and kept quiet.

Li Ke was delighted, and he asked with a smile: "What? No one has any objection to this matter?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Fang Xuanling stood up with a smile. He cupped his hands and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness is such a hero, he will not make a loss-making business. I don't know what conditions the eldest grandson Wuji agreed to, which made it happen. Is this a matter of reconciliation?"

It turned out that these people had already guessed that Changsun Wuji would retreat, Li Ke said with a smile: "In front of the emperor, he promised to withdraw from the matter of seizing the heir, and said that he would persuade Li Chengqian to stop fighting with me."

The most important concern of these Shu royal parties is naturally the dispute between the crown princes, and other things that are injected into craftsmen and cattle. These things are not a big deal to them.So Li Ke picked the most important one and told everyone to listen.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they whispered to each other, seeming to be willing to accept this condition.

This surprised Li Ke, he thought that these people had a lot of enmity with Changsun Wuji, and they shouldn't turn enemies into friends so easily.

Unexpectedly, these old guys are all smart people, and they don't care about the momentary enmity.

"Guan Longji reconciled with us, and our Chamber of Commerce can expand faster. In addition, this matter can also deter those gentry who resist us. This plan is very good!"

"The biggest hidden danger of our chamber of commerce is that the opponent is the Guanlong Group. If we can reach a settlement, the chamber of commerce will develop more smoothly in the future..."

"Yes! From now on, that old boy will no longer oppose us, and the development of the Chamber of Commerce will definitely reach a higher level!"

These old guys stood up one by one, and Chen said that he supported the cooperation with Changsun Wuji.

The reasons they said were all high-sounding, but Li Ke knew in his heart that what really moved these people was Changsun Wuji's withdrawal from the battle for succession.

They supported themselves for the long-term interests of their respective families, and once Changsun Wuji withdrew from the seizure of the heir apparent, their political goals would be achieved.

Everyone was in high spirits, and unanimously approved the reconciliation with Changsun Wuji, which saved Li Ke a lot of talking.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, then I have another question, and I want to ask you a question or two!"

Li Ke put his hands together and said.

Everyone was curious, and Li Ke brought up the troublesome things that bothered him recently.

"The eldest grandson Wuji's methods are ruthless, how can we guarantee that he won't stab us in the back in the future!"

Li Ke said.

You must know that Changsun Wuji is not a person who is easy to give. If he deliberately uses tricks to seek peace for a while, and then regrets later, it will be a troublesome matter.

Li Ke wanted to suppress Changsun Wuji in one fell swoop and solve his worries.

Everyone lowered their heads to think again, and after a while, they discussed among themselves again.

"If you want me to say, the best way is to form an in-law relationship. As long as the eldest grandson Wuji's family gives birth to a daughter-in-law and marries the prince, the eldest grandson Wuji will be honest!"

Cheng Yaojin mentioned at this time that most of the big families are married, and this is also a common method used by Datang to maintain relationships.

Li Ke's eyelids twitched slightly, this old boy really dared to speak.

Not to mention whether Changsun Wuji is willing or not, even Li Ke himself does not want to marry.

If you marry a daughter from the eldest grandson's family, you won't be able to sleep with your eyes open from now on!
Feeling happy, he thought of the eldest Sun Yan he met that day, if Chang Sun Yan married him, he could consider it.

For the others, forget it...

It's a pity that the eldest grandson Yan should not be the daughter of the eldest grandson Wuji, but a woman of the eldest grandson's collateral line.

"Yes, that's a good idea!"

"I heard that the eldest grandson's daughter is as beautiful as a flower, and is known as the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City!"

"If Your Highness marries that eldest grandson noble daughter, she will be able to get both money and sex!"

At this time, Du Ruhui jumped out and said.

Li Ke was amused, it was fine for Cheng Yaojin to say so, why even Du Ruhui, who has always been calm, brought up this matter.

"That's right, the number one beauty in Chang'an has a very famous name, and she is just right for our King of Shu!"

"Yes, King Shu, you just accepted the eldest grandson's concubine daughter. In the future, eldest grandson Wuji will not dare to make trouble behind his back again!"

At this time, the officials of the King's Party of Shu jumped up and made a lot of noise, which actually aroused Li Ke's heart.

If he married the eldest grandson Wuji's daughter, it would indeed solve the problem of stabbing him in the back.

The prostitute represents the face of the eldest grandson's family, and after marrying the prostitute, the eldest grandson Wuji will be involved with Li Ke.

In this way, Changsun Wuji must take care of his daughter and dare not make mistakes.

It's just... what does Laoshizi's number one beauty in Chang'an City look like?
For a woman whom he has never met, Li Ke can never feel interested.

"Have you seen that woman?"

Li Ke laughed.

Everyone was startled and shook their heads.

Although the atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was open, those aristocratic women were mostly in the waiter's home, and they didn't often show their faces outside.

Besides, these Shu King Party officials are all from the older generation and have little communication with the younger generation.

Naturally, they had never seen the eldest grandson and daughter.

"I've never seen her before, why are you claiming to be the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City?"

Li Ke laughed, shook his head and sighed.

"You can't say that!"

"The eldest Sun Yan is quite well-known among the younger generation of talented people..."

"It's just that we old guys don't pay attention to it on weekdays!"

Du Ruhui said.

"Who? Grandson what?"

Li Ke was taken aback.

"Changsun Yan! That eldest grandson Wuji's daughter-in-law is called Changsun Yan!"

Du Ruhui said in a daze.

Li Ke's heart skipped a beat, he never thought that the charming woman he met in the Furong Garden that day was actually the eldest grandson Wuji's prostitute.

That woman was able to climb a tall tree in order to save a kitten, she was a kind-hearted person, how could she be the eldest grandson Wuji's daughter?
If marrying this eldest Sun Yan, then this matter is worth considering...

Li Ke smiled faintly.
