"Everyone, please sit down. To be honest, I happen to have something to say with your uncles, aunts, and members of the clan." Li Ke said with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other, and then they all sat down.
Not all the clans are here today, there are many clans that are not here, and some of them are relatively far away. For example, Li Daozong is also considered a clan, but in fact ministers like Li Daozong hardly enjoy any clan power, and they all rely on themselves. Ability.
There are also some people from wealthy families who are too embarrassed to come. Those who can come are only members of the clan who only have personal property and can barely make a living.
When did Li Shimin become rich? In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty suffered from natural disasters in successive years. At that time, Li Shimin himself did not have much money. When asking for it from Concubine Yang, Concubine Yang had to sell her jewelry.
From these we can see that the Tang royal family had no money. The royal family doesn't have any money. How much money do these clans have? In particular, the status of brothers like Li Shimin was even more embarrassing. They received even less food and salary, but as princes, they had to maintain their status.
In fact, life is very tight, which is why many princes marry women from well-known families, and many princesses take the initiative to marry into some well-known families.
Even if Li Shimin wanted to marry his sister to these powerful people like Wu Xing Qi Wang, they wouldn't accept her.
That’s right, it’s that strong!
"I don't know, Sanlang, what are you going to say?" Li Yuanchang thought for a while, and then he spoke. Among these people, he was the one who was more familiar with Li Ke.
"Let's talk about the royal family, let's talk about the clan." Li Ke said with a smile.
"All uncles and aunts are all princes and princesses. They can be said to be the most noble people in our Tang Dynasty. Everyone should have no objection to this, right?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
"This is natural." Everyone was a little confused and didn't know why Li Ke said this.
"But in fact, is this really the case? I don't want to say much else. I just want to say that when Datang Weekly first appeared last year, some people grabbed whatever they wanted, without considering any consequences, because they all knew , Datang is within their control, even my father can do nothing to them."
"Uncles and aunts, you are actually living a tight life. When you get along with some people, in addition to this layer of shameful status, no matter it is your daily pocket money, the house you live in, or the clothes you wear, , the food they eat is actually far worse than some people. Even their words of respect for you are superficial. Some people even don't even bother to pretend, but you don't have anything to do with them. There is no way. Because my father has nothing to do with them."
"Am I right?" Li Ke asked calmly.
Li Yuanchang and the others were silent, feeling somewhat bitter in their hearts. Li Ke could say that he had analyzed everything that these so-called princes and princesses had experienced, and had pulled down the fig leaf, but what could be done? There are many things that everyone knows very well, but they can’t say them out because it’s useless to say them out.
First, by understanding the other party's difficulties, we can get closer to each other. In addition, the close relationship between the two parties can quickly shorten the distance between the two parties. The next thing is easy to say.
"Sanlang, just say what you want to say, hey." Li Yuanchang sighed.
"Actually, uncles and aunts, I know that you somewhat resent my father and think that my father doesn't care about you. But in fact, it's not that my father doesn't care about you, but that he can't care about you. How can he not know about you? Dilemma? My father knows it, but what can my father do? The royal family is also poor." Li Ke sighed.
Everyone was silent, mainly because they didn't dare to accept Li Ke's words, and secondly, they knew it was the truth.
"You are right to complain. As a junior, I can understand you. I also know that your life is very tight. Even if you have a choice, you will not be shameless and come to me, a junior, to ask for help. Money." Li Ke said again with a sympathetic look.
Li Yuanchang and others' faces were a little aggrieved after being understood. Li Ke hit their mark. In fact, their lives were not very good. If they lived well, not to mention being comparable to those big and powerful families, they would be able to Even an ordinary small family would not be so pitiful today, going up a pole to beg for one of their juniors.
Where should I put my face?
Now Li Ke can understand them, and thinking of this, they are grateful even though they feel wronged. Before coming, they were actually prepared to be humiliated by Li Ke, especially Li Yuanchang. Li Ke dared to beat him directly. What else is wrong? Dare?
But he never expected that Li Ke would say such words.
The most important thing is that Li Ke can deeply understand their difficulties.
"Uncles and aunts, you don't have to be embarrassed. I know you are not doing it for yourself, but for your family, so that you can live a better life in the future. If it is just for you, I believe you are eating every meal. If you eat less delicious food and live in a big house, you won’t beg me, a junior."
"But you also have families to support, or you really don't have much money. When you want to get married or get married, you can at least not lose the royal face. But if you have the choice, you probably won't. Come to me." Li Ke said with a guilty look, as if all this was his fault.
But it was different in the ears of his uncles and aunts. They subconsciously found an excuse for themselves to come here. Yes, we are here for our family and for the face of the royal family, just like what His Highness King Qin said As it is said, if there is a choice, if it is really just us, we will not choose it.
At this moment, Li Ke suddenly entered the hearts of all of them.
"Um... Sanlang, if you are really in trouble, forget it." Li Yuanchang hesitated and said a little embarrassedly.
"Don't be embarrassed, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, I will tell you the truth. I built this Tang Dynasty City that never sleeps, actually just for your uncles and aunts. And of course my brothers and sisters." Li Ke began to talk nonsense seriously.
"Ah?" Everyone was a little stunned. This... is for them?
Everyone found it hard to believe that they had little contact with Li Ke, so how could Li Ke build this city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty for them? Although Li Ke seemed to have agreed to their request just now, the second half of what he said was still too true to be believed.
