Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 389 Nominal Grandfather and Grandson
When we left the Ministry of Rites, it was already 3 p.m.

Li Jingheng still followed Su Chen like a follower.

"Brother Jingheng, you're not really planning on following me like this, are you?"

"What, what secret do you want to keep?"

"..."

Su Chen shook his head speechlessly.

There are no secrets that cannot be told, but there are still many places worth visiting!

Li Jingheng: "Where are we going next?"

"I'm tired, go home and rest."

"What the hell?"

Li Jingheng was stunned. "You have so many businesses, how many have you only looked at?"

Newspapers, ice cubes, ready-made clothes, soap, etc.

The more Li Jingheng calculated, the more he felt that Su Chen's financial resources were unfathomable.

Each of these businesses is incredibly profitable. Owning one or two is enough to make one rich throughout the country, but Su Chen has so many!

The key is that Su Chen doesn't take it seriously.

"I'm back now, so I'll take my time and watch it. There's no rush."

Su Chen put his hands behind his back and staggered back to the Prince's Residence.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard waves of sarcastic voices.

"Hey, General Su is back."

"In my opinion, General Su has probably forgotten us a long time ago."

"Isn't it?"

Su Chen looked at it carefully and rolled his eyes.

Sitting in the main hall were Li Chengqian, Sun Simiao, and Gao Shilian.

"Meet the Crown Prince, Duke Shen, and Dr. Sun."

Li Jingheng walked forward and greeted him with a smile.

Li Chengqian smiled and waved, "Jingheng, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Prince."

Su Chen sat down directly and asked casually, "Why did Elder Sun come with him?"

Sun Simiao stroked his beard and smiled, "I heard that you were back, so I adjusted my schedule and came to your residence. Unexpectedly, I ran into the Crown Prince and Duke Shen outside the door."

Su Chen looked over and saw Li Chengqian said slowly, "I heard that you secretly left Sister Xueyan at your house yesterday?"

Su Chen: "..."

Li Chengqian said cheerfully, "Didn't Uncle Wang teach you a lesson?"

"That's not the case."

Su Chen waved his hand. "You came to me right after the court session. Is there something urgent?"

"Na na na..."

Li Chengqian pointed at Su Chen with a look of dissatisfaction and said to Duke Shen, "Uncle, look at this, it really proves the saying that the blessed don't have to work hard, while the unlucky ones have to run themselves into a pulp."

Gao Shilian laughed, "Didn't you invite me here?"

Li Chengqian shook his head repeatedly and sighed deeply.

Su Chen: "Okay, stop pretending. You invited Duke Shen here, it's not because of me, right?"

"Otherwise?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Uncle Wang has already come to the palace to tell you about Xueyan. I was thinking, you are all alone, who will help you propose marriage?"

"So, I invited my uncle to come and let him recognize you as his grandson. In this way, he can go to the Jiangxia Palace to propose marriage."

Su Chen: "..."

"Can't we be friends of the same generation?"

"What? You still want to take advantage of me?"

Li Chengqian's eyebrows jumped, and he was very dissatisfied.

Gao Shilian is his great uncle. If he were to be on equal terms with Su Chen, what would that mean for him?

Doesn't that mean he is two generations younger than Su Chen and becomes his grandson?
Su Chen smiled and looked at Gao Shilian. Gao Shilian said, "If you agree, I will ask someone to choose an auspicious day and go to the Jiangxia Palace to propose marriage in person."

"I can do that too."

Sun Simiao stroked his beard and smiled, "Although I don't have an official position, it will not be a problem for me to help you propose marriage."

Li Jingheng was immediately happy. If these two came to his house to propose marriage, it would be a great honor.

One is an old miracle doctor recognized by the common people and has saved countless lives; the other is a veteran of three dynasties and a pillar of the country.

With these two people endorsing Su Chen, which girl wouldn't be eager to marry him?

Su Chen smiled and said, "Why doesn't Mr. Sun have an official position? It's just that you don't think highly of him."

Strictly speaking, whether in the previous dynasty or now, Sun Simiao has held an official position, and it is not a low one.

Take the present for example. Li Shimin wanted to grant Sun Simiao an official title and a title more than once, but Sun Simiao just didn't care.

Li Chengqian: "Then why are you still hesitating? Not to mention my uncle, even if it's Old Man Sun, there are countless people who want to ask him to be their grandfather!"

What Li Chengqian said is correct.

Whether it was Sun Simiao or Gao Shilian, if they spread the news that they wanted to adopt a son or grandson, people who came to visit would definitely trample on the threshold of their homes.

Even if they were to queue, Su Chen might not be able to compete with those people.

Gao Shilian smiled and said, "He was thinking that once he acknowledged us two as his grandfathers, he would have to serve us well in the future."

Su Chen: "...not to the extent that it is not ...

Sun Simiao: "It's just in name only. You don't have to care about it. We won't take it to heart either."

Su Chen stood up: "In this case, I'll trouble you two grandfathers."

"It's easy to talk about."

Gao Shilian and Sun Simiao smiled at each other.

Sun Simiao said, "If that's the case, then I'll trouble Lord Shen to pick a date to propose marriage. Just have someone go to the medical school and let me know when the time comes."

Gao Shilian nodded, "Of course."

Li Chengqian smiled and clapped his hands, "Okay, it's settled."

After talking about personal matters, Li Chengqian changed the subject and asked about Pei Mingli's business trip to the West.

Su Chen said frankly, "Pei Mingli came to me yesterday afternoon. He wanted me to help him get in touch with A Luohan in Persia." Li Chengqian seemed to be thinking about something. "But what about the man next to Robs?"

Su Chen nodded, "Not bad."

"Earlier, A Luohan led his elite troops back to his country to assist the Persian king in repelling the rebellion, and was recognized by the people of Persia."

"Among the many Persian princes, he has the highest voice and is very likely to become the next Persian king."

"Pei Mingli wants to go west to do business. After he leaves the Western Regions, with A Luohan's assistance, not only can his safety be greatly guaranteed, but his goods can also be sold as soon as possible."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "It seems that our previous investment was correct."

Su Chen nodded, "After helping them repel the army of the Arab Empire, A Luohan has been handling government affairs in the country."

"When Wang Xuance and his men came back, they said that after A Luohan had finished handling these government affairs, they would come to the Tang Dynasty in person to express their gratitude."

Li Chengqian: "Wang Xuance did convey A Luohan's gratitude, but he never came to Chang'an. I think he was held back by the complicated domestic affairs."

"That's good too. It will be of great help to Pei Mingli and his men in their business trip to the West."

Su Chen continued, "In addition, Pei Mingli wants a thousand new soldiers. I asked him to go to Lord Dai. I think the Ministry of War should allow it."

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, "That's all?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Is this still too little?"

Li Chengqian: "How much?"

Su Chen: "When Pei Mingli was making ready-made clothes, he made a lot of connections. He has his own way."

"Except for these two things that he cannot get through at the moment, he can prepare the rest on his own."

Li Chengqian: "I handed this matter over to him, and it turned out to be correct."

Watching the conversation between Su Chen and Li Chengqian, Gao Shilian and his companions happily drank tea in silence.

Gao Shilian was particularly impressed. He seemed to see himself and Li Shimin when they were young in Su Chen and the other person.

and.

No one expected that Su Chen and Li Chengqian's casual move at the beginning would leave a huge foreshadowing for today's westward business trip.

"Have you been to the Ministry of Industry?"

"not yet."

Su Chen shook his head and said, "I went to the brick factory and Jiang Wuyang."

"When we were at the brick factory, Lu Yuanzheng told me that the skill priority policy you formulated has added a lot of talents to the Ministry of Industry and many other industries."

"This is indeed a boost to Datang's industrial development."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but straighten his chest. Don't think that you have been killing people in the Western Regions and are alone in Chang'an City just for pleasure and have done nothing.

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, Su Chen knew that this guy was proud.

In this regard.

Su Chen poured a basin of cold water on him without hesitation, "Don't be happy too early, your plan to become the King of All Nations and the King of All Kings has just started."

"No rush, no rush."

Gao Shilian smiled and said, "You are all still young and have plenty of time. The most important thing right now is the crown prince's coronation ceremony."

Su Chen nodded and said, "After you ascend the throne, I will give you a gift."

"Oh?"

Hear the words.

Li Chengqian and the others all showed curiosity, "What gift?"

Su Chen: "You will know when the time comes."

Seeing that Su Chen was deliberately keeping things a secret, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment, "Do we have to wait until after we ascend the throne?"

"Correct."

Su Chen smiled and said, "It will be convenient to promote this matter in cooperation with your ascension to the throne as the new emperor."

The new emperor ascends the throne, making it easier to promote the work?
Amnesty for the world?

Li Chengqian seemed to be thinking about something, thinking it must be an important gift.

"Okay then. I'll wait and see what new things you can come up with!"

Li Chengqian smiled and stood up, "It's getting late, let's go back first."

"it is good!"

After seeing Li Chengqian and the other two off, Su Chen returned to the main hall.

"Is there anything else, old man?"

"Can't I just stay here and have a quick meal?"

Sun Simiao glared at Su Chen and said, "Don't you know how to be filial to your grandfather?"

Su Chen: "..."

"Come here, tell the kitchen to prepare more food. The old man wants to stay for dinner."

Sun Qiang smiled, nodded and left.

"There is something I want you to decide on."

"Master, please tell me."

"It's about the doctors."

After this short period of development, the number of students in the medical school has increased significantly, and there are also a large number of medical students who have graduated from previous studies.

Previously, they could be arranged to go to Jiangnan or Lingnan, but now all places are implementing skill priority policy, and the outflow of talents is more than they imagined.

This also means that among the students who are sent out of the medical school every month, there are always some who stay in the medical school.

"This is easy to handle."

Su Chen smiled and said, "We can arrange for them to join the army."

"To the army?"

Sun Simiao pulled his beard.

Su Chen said with a smile: "The medical books and surgical procedures we studied before will have better development prospects in the military."

Sun Simiao thought for a moment, "I knew this would be easy for you."

"Then I will go to the Ministry of War tomorrow."

"That's not necessary."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Sun forgot about the free clinic every month. We can invite people from the Ministry of War to observe."

Sun Simiao's eyes lit up.

How can asking for help be as comfortable as being asked for help?
