The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

The imperial edict from the imperial court finally came down. Many people thought that Li Xiang was impatient to wait. In fact, Li Xiang had plenty of time to wait. There were still many things to do in the north. He took advantage of this opportunity to finish them all at once and save the trouble later. If there are any loopholes, you have to fix them yourself.

It had been nearly two years since he left Chang'an City, and the emperor finally issued an imperial edict for Li Xiang to return to Chang'an City. This could be regarded as a visit to Beijing to report on his duties in this era.

Under the protection of Niu Jinda, Li Xiang took his two thousand cavalry and slowly began to march towards the capital. Li Xiang was different from the others. The others could not wait to take their troops back and let the fellow villagers Look at your majesty.

But Li Xiang didn't have this idea. What Chang'an City needs is not danger. What Chang'an City needs is low-key. Now he is Li Jue in the eyes of others. If he goes back with so many troops, I'm afraid many people will not sleep at night. Don't sleep, these people also include Li Shimin.

In order to allow these people to sleep, and not to find too many enemies for himself, Li Xiang took two thousand cavalry on the road. If he were not worried that someone might assassinate him, Li Xiang even thought of dozens of people. That's it.

"When I, Lao Niu, left home, my youngest son had just been born. Now he will be leaving soon. I wonder if he recognizes me as his father."

Niu Jinda thought of his youngest son, and a smile appeared on his face. Every time his wife wrote a letter, she would explain the young master's situation clearly. Niu Jinda also wanted to go back and see his son.

"Generally, children only have memories when they are three years old. There are very few memories before the age of three. If you stay with me more when you go back, I will definitely kiss you. After we go back this time, we shouldn't leave within half a year."

Li Xiang thought about his arrangements. Although he still had to march to Fusang, he still had to make some preparations. Li Xiang had already written a letter to the navy. It was estimated that it would take another month and a half to come back. Returning to this place After entering the world, Li Xiang felt that the most inconvenient thing was the issue of letters.

Although many places have been improved by using carrier pigeons, the probability of the carrier pigeons getting lost is too high. Even if they are trained by the best master, some pigeons will not be able to find their place. Therefore, there are still two methods when writing letters. The first way is naturally to rely on pigeons, and the second way has to be sent by people.

"What about Gaochang?"

Niu Jinda thought of what happened in the west. Although Su Dingfang was there, the trouble was getting worse and worse. Gaochang had already sent out a large army to suppress the bandits. We also knew that they were showing off to the Tang Dynasty, but Gaochang had not seen it for a long time. During the war, their army's combat effectiveness was too stretched.

"There is no result for a while. There is no need to waste our time in such a place. General Su has been able to solve the problem there. As for other things, Mr. Zhao did not grow up eating nothing. He will ensure the best interests for us Datang."

Although the Western Region is important, Li Xiang doesn't take it too seriously yet. When he returns to Chang'an this time, in addition to reorganizing his own strength, Li Xiang also needs to make some preparations. These preparations are all for the Eastern Expedition. Fuso.

Of course, there is the most important issue, that is, it is time to get married. Originally, Li Xiang's age has arrived, but because of the war, it has been postponed again and again. This time, Li Shimin does not want Li Xiang to return to Chang'an. Li Shimin feels that This model is very good. Li Shimin is in charge of Chang'an and Li Xiang is fighting outside, so no one is delayed.

But one thing is imminent, that is, Li Xiang and Miss Cheng are both very young. If the wedding is not arranged now and continues to be delayed, there will be no way to arrange it for the younger ones below.

Royal affairs have to be arranged one after another. This is not the era of free love. If the eldest brother does not get married, then the others behind him will have to wait. If you can't wait for you to take the younger wife, I'm afraid this won't work if you want to marry the real wife.

Among Li Xiang's generation, he is the oldest. The eldest person has not married a wife, so how can those behind him marry a wife first? Therefore, the officials in charge of royal affairs have already submitted a letter. Even if the war on the front line is tense, His Highness the Grand Sun should be allowed to come back first. After all, extending the heirs is the most important task of the royal family.

Under such circumstances, Li Xiang submitted another memorial, and Cheng Yaojin also frequently submitted memorials. Everyone in the civil and military dynasties knew that this time was stuck. If Li Shimin did not let Li Xiang come back, it would be unreasonable.

Regarding the Beiting Protectorate, the emperor also asked several people, and the court also selected several people, but in the end he chose the person recommended by Li Xiang.

There is no other reason. The north was conquered by Li Xiang. From entering the grassland to the sea in the north, all of them are Li Xiang's people. If you don't use his people and you only send one official, what do you think? Can officials use their hands here? It is estimated that it will be difficult to move forward by then.

Although he lost control of the north, it was at least nominally the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and other officials could be appointed at will. So after careful consideration, Li Shimin agreed to Li Xiang's proposal to let the unknown Huo Tang Served as the Protector of Beijing.

For Li Xiang, it is not too late to arrange this. It turns out that the major aristocratic families are too powerful, so Li Xiang cannot openly confront Li Shimin. This will allow the major aristocratic families to find opportunities. Nowadays, every major aristocratic family is licking After eating his own wounds, even some large families have become second-rate families, so Li Xiang has to insist on what he should.

Li Shimin had some temptations in the memorial when he returned, but Li Xiang still firmly recommended his own people to let Li Shimin understand that the previous time has passed and now it is time for us to compete. You It is true that I have centralized power, but in this three-thirds of an acre of Xiongnu grassland, I am afraid I still have the final say.

Li Shimin also understood this, so he did not fight with Li Xiang at the last moment. Li Shimin knew that there would be no good results if he continued. He was the king of a country and could not appoint local magistrates. This matter could not be too big. If If you make too much noise, it will have a great impact on your authority.

However, Li Shimin also deeply felt that Li Xiang's ambition was expanding without limit. In the next period of time, he had to put a rope on this kid, otherwise the rights in his hands would slowly disappear. …
