Chapter 1211 Stay or Return to Beijing?
"Aren't you the prime minister's son and Mr. Xiao Ge's grandson who have been trained by you? They are not a place where tigers and wolves are now, and they can let others take over their errands. They are all good at logistics. ."
Changsun Chong began to use his fingers to count Li Xiang one by one, hoping that Li Xiang could see these people and not just stare at the two brothers. He had also discussed the return trip to the capital with his father. He would definitely do it in the future. If you can't take the path of being a civil servant, then you might as well continue on the path of a military general. If you don't have the chance to fight, how can you go down?
"Okay, okay, I know this matter well. There won't be a war for the time being. It will happen in six months or a year. You two brothers still have to lay a solid foundation. Whether this war can be won, you The foundation of the two brothers is very important. Even if you two brothers do not go to the battlefield, just by laying this foundation, I will never forget your contribution."
Changsun Chong said so much, but he was actually waiting for Li Xiang's words. The promises of others are of no use at all. How much power do they have within the court? Nowadays, as long as Li Xiang is willing to say a word, coupled with their family's power in the court, although the two brothers cannot be said to have skyrocketed, there is still no problem in being promoted to one level.
Changsun Ze is young after all, and he doesn't quite understand these things, but he also knows that his brother will definitely count him out when he is fighting for benefits. Let's just be a military commander honestly. As for other things , since my father and brother are responsible for the calculations, we can’t control that much, mainly because our brains are not enough.
After bidding farewell to the two brothers, Li Xiang led his men all the way back to Nanzhao Royal City. Speaking of which, it was already a month since he left. Li Xiang could not waste too much time here and had to hurry back. Chang'an will do.
During this month-long period, Princess Yongning got to spend some time with her family. After hearing that she was coming back, Princess Yongning also knew that she was going back to Chang'an soon. She thought she would pack her things and go back with Li Xiang, but who knew Li Xiang asked Princess Yongning to stay.
"Can I really keep my concubine?"
After listening to Li Xiang's words, Princess Yongning couldn't believe her ears. Who wants to return to the cold Chang'an City, and who doesn't want to stay in Nanzhao Royal City? This is my hometown. How many relatives do I have in Chang'an City?
Originally it was fine for her sister to be there, but after what happened in Fusang, Princess Yongning still felt very uncomfortable, so she tried to meet her sister as little as possible. In this case, after returning to Chang'an City, Princess Yongning would still stay In that big cage.
"I won't be able to stay long when I return to Chang'an this time. I may come back after a while. If you really don't want to go back with me, it's okay to stay here. After all, you just like it."
Although Li Xiang is reluctant to let go of Yong Ning, after all, when Yong Ning is by Li Xiang's side, it is like a pistachio, which can make Li Xiang very comfortable, but Li Xiang does not want to decide the fate of another person because of his own preferences.
Although this is a feudal society and Li Xiang can decide the fate of most people, Li Xiang is a person from modern society after all. Since you like a girl, it is best not to force her.
"Forget it, I'll follow you back to Chang'an City. If I stay, my father and queen will probably not be able to sleep again. I have become more sensible during this time. Maybe we can get along well after we go back. It takes less time, but it can make the father and queen feel at ease."
When Yongning said this, Li Xiang couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart. He was happy for Yongning's growth, but he had lost his former innocence. Maybe human life is such a contradiction, and there is no way for fish and bears to be the same. Holding both hands.
Li Xiang held Yong Ning in his arms, and Yong Ning also put his arms around Li Xiang's neck. The two of them sat quietly...
However, there was not much time for the two of them. That night, the King of Nanzhao held a grand banquet to send Li Xiang away from Nanzhao King City. Although they thought that Li Xiang could stay here for a while, this way They can see their daughter more, but Li Xiang is the grandson of the entire Tang Empire after all. Although they don't know how big the Tang Empire is, according to Yongning, they can walk for several months without seeing the end. How could such a person stay in a small place like Nanzhao Royal City?
Li Xiang was also very happy for this grand banquet. At least it was gratifying to see the people of Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao merge together so quickly.
Speaking of which, these people all belong to one of the 56 ethnic groups. They are considered the original population of our country. As long as we can treat them sincerely, these people will be able to live happily together, completely different from those foreigners.
That night, Li Xiang drank himself unconscious, but before dawn the next morning, Li Xiang and his men had already set off. Princess Yongning was naturally carried into the carriage by Li Xiang. This little girl The lazy cat hadn't woken up yet, so Li Xiang stopped calling the girl.
The people in the palace also prepared breakfast for Li Xiang and Princess Yongning, but they found that the house where Li Xiang lived was empty. When Li Xiang came to Nanzhao Royal City, he did not use the people in the palace to wait on him. On the one hand, it is because of safety considerations, and on the other hand, it is also because of habit.
After learning the news of Li Xiang's departure, the senior people in Nanzhao also breathed a sigh of relief. This time it was considered peaceful. Fortunately, nothing fatal happened, otherwise this living king of hell would go on a killing spree again.
Many people think that Li Xiang is very kind and should be their best ruler, but the senior people in Nanzhao know that Li Xiang is definitely not a simple person. If you go against his wishes, how will you die? They didn't even know that they had seen how ferocious this guy was.
Of course, now that everyone has joined the Tang Dynasty, no one is still thinking about restoring Nanzhao. After all, if Nanzhao is re-established, it means that all kinds of wars are coming. They themselves are peace-loving, and even now It was ruled by the Tang Dynasty, but the standard of living was much higher than before, so everyone didn't care about it.
What's more, the Tang Dynasty will soon march south, and our place will become prosperous again... (End of this chapter)
