Li Chengqian was telling the truth.
Emperors of all dynasties, after gaining the throne, would try every means to add merit to their ancestors, thereby highlighting their family's glorious resume.
As for the Li family in Longxi, although it was once glorious, it was only in the past.
After Li Hu, Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family basically did not produce many capable people.
It can even be said that one generation is inferior to the other, and Tang Shizu Li Bing can only be regarded as a conservative.
Not to mention Li Yuan, who lost his father at the age of seven. If he hadn't married a good wife and won the favor of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty and Empress Dugu, the whole family would have declined.
There is no need to talk about what happens next.
There are indeed many glorious resumes, but more of them are concentrated on Li Shimin.
And Li Shimin is equivalent to a benchmark and a shining point. With him around, the light of others is destined to be overshadowed.
The so-called achievements of others are destined to be insufficient.
Of course, only Li Chengqian dared to say this.
After all, this is his family, and he is the current prince after all.
After hearing what he said, Changsun Chong also looked embarrassed.
I want to say a few words, but I don’t dare to say it, but it’s not good if I don’t.
After thinking for a while, Changsun Chong just said: "Your Highness, you talk about your ancestors like this, are you not afraid of nightmares?"
"If I were afraid, would I still lead the troops to fight?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said: "Those souls who died under my hands, who are not allowed to come to me at night?"
Indeed, this is true.
If he was afraid of ghosts, then he wouldn't have to be the prince, let alone expand territory for the Tang Dynasty.
After all, if there were not tens of thousands of souls who died under his hands, there must be hundreds or thousands.
Changsun Chong pursed his lips and said, "But the glory of our ancestors is also your glory."
"Come on."
"You have to fight for your own glory."
"Bragging is not your real skill."
Li Chengqian glanced at Changsun Chong and then said, "How are you doing here? Do you have time to go out with me for a walk?"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong was stunned: "Your Highness, is there something you want to see me for?"
"nonsense."
"If nothing happens, why are you here?"
"Is it because you are here transcribing this boring thing?"
After saying this, Li Chengqian turned around and walked straight out the door, saying as he walked: "Let's go, Tianxiang Garden, I'll treat you to a drink."
Tianxiangyuan?
Buy me a drink?
Changsun Chong also raised his eyebrows with a puzzled look on his face.
You know, Tianxiangyuan was opened by their eldest grandson’s family.
When Li Chengqian chose such a place, he obviously had no intention of paying for it.
Of course, Changsun Chong was not short of this little money. He just hesitated a little and followed Li Chengqian's footsteps.
The two of them did not ride in the carriage, but walked all the way in the square in front of Tai Chi Hall.
Looking at Li Chengqian's clothes that obviously didn't fit and looked familiar, Changsun Chong couldn't help but wonder: "Your Highness, these clothes are not yours, right?"
"no."
Li Chengqian said truthfully: "It was ripped off from the King of Shu."
"King of Shu?"
Hearing these two words, Changsun Chong immediately stopped.
He looked straight at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, are you taking me to see the King of Shu?"
"how?"
Li Chengqian also stopped, turned to look at Changsun Chong and said, "You don't want to see me?"
"Your Highness, please don't joke with me."
"You know very well what relationship I have with King Shu."
Changsun Chong said seriously: "If the two of us meet, it will only make both parties unable to stand down."
"Ouch."
"You guy, I really don't know what to say to you."
Li Chengqian walked up to Changsun Chong and said, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you. I didn't call him, I just took off his clothes when I went out."
"Your Highness."
"I trust you the most."
Changsun Chong stopped in place, motionless and said: "You must not lie to me."
