The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1006 Xiao Yu’s dedication

Although Li Xiang wanted to return to Chang'an City as soon as possible, he was homesick after all, but he occupied so many places along the way, and Li Xiang had to go and inspect it. We can deceive the Nanzhao people, but we can't. Lie to these brothers who fought bloody battles.

So Li Xiang kept walking and walking for nearly seven days before entering Sichuan. The defense lines in the border areas have been removed. Although there are still dangers in Nanzhao, Li Xiang has made up his mind. After setting the tone, Nanzhao will be our southern barrier from now on, so the border defense line is of little use.

"His Royal Highness Taisun has displayed great ambitions and once again expanded the territory of our Tang Dynasty. On behalf of all officials in Sichuan, I would like to express my congratulations to His Highness Taisun."

Xiao Yu knew that going to the south this time would reap the rewards, but he didn't expect that Li Xiang's movements would become so fast. How long has it been since he walked? The entire Nanzhao has been captured by us. Although in the eyes of the people, There is a Nanzhao Kingdom over there, but the people on the border all know that even the border checkpoints have been removed. Even if the relationship between the two countries is good, it cannot be as good as this. It is obvious that I am already there. The boundary of the Tang Dynasty.

"We ourselves should stop engaging in such nonsense. I won't stay in Chengdu this time. You have done a very good job here. Leave what should be left to young people. When I go back You should also go back to Chang'an. There should be more opportunities for young people here. You can't always hold the position of Governor of Sichuan."

What Li Xiang said was definitely what Xiao Yu was most willing to hear. Even if Li Xiang mentioned some other rewards, I'm afraid Xiao Yu would not be very willing to ask for them. Even though Xiao Yu was in high spirits when he came, After this period of time, Xiao Yu also saw that the core of the Tang Dynasty is in Chang'an. No matter how well you govern Sichuan, you have to go back to Chang'an when it's time to go back to Chang'an. Otherwise, you will be far away from the center of power. In a few years I'm afraid even that human touch is gone.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will make sure everything is well arranged here when I leave, and I will definitely not leave any disadvantages to Your Highness. Even if there is a war in the south in the future, everything built here will be able to cope with it."

Xiao Yu knew what Li Xiang was worried about. What he was most worried about now was that Sichuan could not stand up. No matter whether Li Xiang wanted to make some reforms to Nanzhao or continue to move south, Sichuan's status was irreplaceable, so At this time, with Xiao Yu's words, Li Xiang felt relieved. What's more, there were children of the Xiao family all over Sichuan. Even if Xiao Yu didn't do it for Li Xiang, he still had to do it for his descendants. Come on.

"With your words, I won't be afraid anymore, but there are some things I have to say up front. The younger generations of your family will all have to stay in Sichuan in the next two or three years. I don't care what happens. None of these people can be transferred out of Sichuan."

When Li Xiang said this, Xiao Yu also knew that the honeymoon period between the two parties may be over. Now that Xiao Yu has been transferred back to Chang'an, Li Xiang must buy insurance for himself. He has given many opportunities to the younger generations of your family. , now it’s time for acceptance. If they pass, they can be transferred to Sichuan in a few years and promoted, but if they fail, this is their end.

"I listen to His Highness. Please train them well. When these children can be independent, it will be time for me to retire and return to my hometown."

It can be seen from Xiao Yu's expression that he has almost arranged everything here, so he is not worried about any accidents. If he has been teaching for so long and cannot bear even a little accident in the end, then It proves that these people are not suitable to hang out in the officialdom, so they should go back to Lanling to farm.

Seeing the smile on Xiao Yu's face, Li Xiang admired him very much in his heart. He had met many patriarchs of big families, and they were all working hard for their family, but he had been away from the core of power for nearly two years in this place. I'm afraid this is not something ordinary people can do.From this aspect, Xiao Yu is definitely much better than those people. At least they can live in the backcountry, and I also have a lot of constructive opinions. If Xiao Yu is not in charge of Sichuan, what will happen to the four chieftains? How could it be cleared so quickly?Even if it is Nanding Nanzhao, there will be more difficulties.

"It's wrong for your lord to say this. I have already given a memorial to the emperor. When your lord returns to Beijing, he will be satisfied."

Li Xiang did not reveal what the official position was, but Xiao Yu knew it well. It was impossible for him to go back to be prime minister again, and Li Shimin would never allow this, but it was definitely better than being idle at home. In fact, for his official position , Xiao Yu didn't care much. Xiao Yu was very satisfied with being able to recruit so many descendants of the family this time.

The road was indeed as Li Xiang said. This guy was riding fast all the way. After separating from Xiao Yu, Li Xiang did not inspect some situations in Sichuan. This place was already clearly understood by the people below. There was no need for Li Xiang to waste time here and he rushed to Chang'an as quickly as possible.

On the surface, Li Xiang was around Chang'an at the moment, but Li Xiang secretly returned to Sichuan, all in order to paralyze the Nanzhao court. Therefore, when Li Xiang returned to Chang'an this time, no one came to greet him at Shiliting Pavilion on the outskirts of the city. , Li Xiang and the others also disguised themselves as businessmen and passed by quickly.

"What's the matter? Are you a little uncomfortable?"

Li Xiang looked at Su Dingfang and said, Su Dingfang is indeed a little uncomfortable. Ever since he worked hard outside with Li Xiang, He Changan has been more or less applauded and greeted every time, but this time the strength is quite deserted, except for some people Outside the city, no court personnel were seen.

"It's like we have lost a battle. We have always won battles before. This time I am really not used to it. But this time we go back to Chang'an. Do we have to stay in Chang'an for a while?"

Su Dingfang has been wandering outside for a long time, so he is not used to living in Chang'an. After all, this place is full of intrigues. If he is not careful, he may fall into a trap at any time. If he is given a choice, he is still willing to choose to stay outside. Licking blood from the edge of the knife was the life he wanted to live the most.

"I also want to stay in Chang'an, but the world is full of variables. Any small variable will prevent us from staying in Chang'an..."

Li Xiang also sighed...
