Chapter 1503: Meeting Between the Emperor and His Ministers

Knowing that General Moron had boarded the ship from Hangzhou Bay, Li Xiang began to arrange his men. Chang Sunze had agreed before that he would follow Li Xiang back to Beijing. As for whether he could go to the Western Regions, that would be discussed later. Li Xiang had to get Chang Sun Wuji's permission.

Wei Shuyu and Du Aitong both had to stay. They came out to train. They had only been in Vietnam for a short time. If they were to go back with Li Xiang, the training time would be too short.

Li Xiang had already seen that the talents of these two people were not a problem. What they lacked was opportunities. As long as you could give these two people a chance, they would definitely be able to return you a miracle. This was beyond doubt.

The two also took the initiative to find Li Xiang, hoping to continue staying here. Chang'an City was full of powerful people. For the two of them, it was not a really good place. Without the blessing of their parents, they could only shrink their tails in Chang'an City. If they wanted to achieve some results, it would be even more difficult.

Although we still don't know what the situation is with General Moron, if it is the same as what Li Xiang said, then staying in Nanyue will be more effective. When the two return to Chang'an City next time, their level must continue to rise. If they want to return to Chang'an City without any merit, do you think it is a place to fool people?

Li Xiang originally wanted to keep these two people. Since they have come to beg, of course he has to do a favor. Their fathers have also made great contributions to the entire Tang Dynasty. It is also good to let them grow up slowly here and avoid the open and secret arrows of Chang'an City.

As for the troops in Nanyue, they must take some back. There is no big war here. If they continue to stay here, it will be a bit of a waste. The war in the Western Regions may start at any time, especially the new recruits who have just entered the battlefield. After a round of training on the battlefield, they need a new battlefield to continue training.

Li Xiang has already given orders. If the three-year veterans are willing to go home, they can go back. All the two-year troops are stationed here to consolidate the security of the southern border of the empire.

As for those who had been on the battlefield for a year, they all had to follow Li Xiang to the Western Regions. Of course, they also won a half-year vacation and could have a good reunion with their families in China. In addition to the reward silver issued by the court, Li Xiang issued another batch of money. With this money, it can be regarded as a return home in glory. Although it is not enough to make the family live a good life, at least there is no problem in building a house.

After making all the arrangements, General Molun's ship also arrived in Nanyue.

Li Xiang personally led people to wait at the port. The original port had been burned almost to the ground. The new port had just been built. General Molun's big ship could not come over, so he could only come by boat.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

General Molun had not seen Li Xiang for a long time. If it were not for Li Xiang, he might have lost his life directly like other Gaochang officials. At that time, Li Xiang also helped him, which led to today's glory. The whole family moved to Chang'an City, and he became the new Protector of Annan.

According to the political system of the Tang Dynasty, there must be a civil official and a military official in a certain capital. General Molun is considered to have served in both positions, and he is also the only one. If it were not for Li Xiang's trust, it would be impossible.

"Get up, get up. There is no need for such a big gift between us. You must be almost exhausted after drifting on the sea for such a long time. I just came to meet you today. Take the time to go back and rest. The place to live has been prepared. Tell the people below if you need anything."

For those who come from the inland, shaking on the sea for such a long time is unbearable for most people. The sea is different from the canal. Many people think that if they can take a boat in the canal, they can also go to the sea. In fact, this is completely different. Almost everyone who comes by boat has to rest for several days to recover, otherwise they can't do anything at all.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I have been here for half my life, but it is really uncomfortable on the sea. I am about to vomit my intestines. Fortunately, my body is still good. If I were not, I would probably die on this ship."

General Moron said with a wry smile. On the way, they happened to encounter a typhoon. Although the 100-meter-long wooden boat was not small, it was just a small boat in the vast sea, so the people on it almost vomited bile.

Li Xiang certainly knew the sailing conditions of this era. Whether it was Fuso or Goguryeo, as long as they came by boat, they basically had to suffer this pain. General Moron was more uncomfortable than them, mainly because they were in the inland area before. Let alone the sea, there was not even a river with a little water.

We had prepared a grand welcome party, but it was stopped by Li Xiang. Now it seems that Li Xiang was foresighted. If it weren't for Li Xiang, General Moren would have to hold on today, and the welcome party would have been a different story. We are here to make people happy, we can't let them enjoy it here uncomfortably, this is not justified.

As for General Moron's entourage, they all looked pale, which was because they had suffered a lot at sea. They hurried to arrange a carriage to take them back. Now these people can't ride horses. Although they could travel a thousand miles in the desert, they can't stand steadily now. They have been shaking on the sea for too long. They need a few days to recover.

For these people, they have started a new life. They didn't dare to imagine it in the past. In their impression, they can go to Chang'an City once in their lifetime. This is already worthy of their ancestors. Even if they died at that time, they would have no regrets.

But the next journey made them dare not say anything. It turned out that outside Chang'an City, the entire Tang Dynasty has such a vast area, especially the place where we work, it takes so many days to take a boat. How big is the territory of the Tang Dynasty? Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the original Gaochang Kingdom is not even comparable to a hair of the Tang Dynasty... (End of this chapter)
