Nanzhao Palace
It was still the same place as before. Li Xiang felt like he was revisiting an old place. However, after returning to the capital, Li Xiang didn't know how to face his princess wife.
When Li Xiang thought of the princess' wife, he knew how to deal with it. The princess' wife had almost no feelings for the Prince of Zhennan. If there was any feelings, it was for her own father, so it didn't matter to Li Xiang. As for whether a country existed or not, Li Xiang had already thought about what to do. If he had a child with the princess in the future, he would let him manage Nanzhao.
"I should have known that His Highness had already arrived outside our city, but he just never showed up. Even if these people were brave enough, they wouldn't dare to reveal all this in the end."
When they saw Li Xiang coming in from outside, everyone in the room was very surprised, except the Queen Mother. Li Xiang came here to ask for her granddaughter's hand in marriage, and he also sent her a cart of medicine.
At that time, the Queen Mother hated Li Xiang to death, but what could she do? Although you are the Queen Mother, you are only the Queen Mother of a small border country, while he is the grandson of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The gap in status between the two is too big.
"Your Majesty is wrong. My brothers can make decisions for me in any situation. Whether they are right or wrong, I will allow them to do so. If they are right, that's even better. If they are wrong, I will make amends for them."
When Li Xiang said this, the people around him were very excited. They were obviously very simple words, but when they came out of Li Xiang's mouth, everyone felt their blood burning. If they could follow such a person for a lifetime, it would be worth losing their lives.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother slowly nodded her head. Li Xiang's current success was definitely related to all of this. The world should belong to Li Xiang. Think about her two sons and other grandsons. Even the most capable one is probably not even one-tenth of Li Xiang's.
"This world is ultimately yours. They don't have the qualifications to compete with you. But now I want to find out how Your Highness will deal with us."
If Li Xiang had not appeared, the Queen Mother would not have asked this question any more, and Qin Huaiyu's previous answer would have been enough, but Li Xiang appeared at this moment, so the Queen Mother felt that there must be changes in between.
"Kill one and leave one."
When Li Xiang said this, many people in the room were still speculating, wondering what he meant and who should be killed and who should be spared.
But the Queen Mother was a smart person. When Li Xiang said these four words, the Queen Mother knew that her youngest son would not be able to survive. Ordering people to resist in that situation was a capital crime, but this should not be the most important thing. The most important thing was that her youngest son had ambitions in his heart, and Li Xiang would never let an ambitious person live.
"Is it really impossible to spare his life?"
The Queen Mother said somewhat sadly that both the palms and the backs of the hands are made of flesh and blood. If she could save her life, she would be willing to do so even if her whole family was exiled. But now she still could not save the entire country, and what she had to save was everyone's life.
"I'm afraid my father-in-law wouldn't agree. If your little son were alive, he would be thinking about killing my father-in-law all the time. How could that be possible?"
Li Xiang looked at the King of Nanzhao who was kneeling beside him. At this moment, this guy no longer had the demeanor of a king. When Li Xiang came in, this guy knelt down obediently. Except for the Queen Mother, everyone else in the room also knelt at Li Xiang's feet.
When Li Xiang said this, the king thought of his second brother's ferocious appearance. If that guy survived, he would never let himself live. The two brothers were now the biggest enemies.
"How about using my life to exchange for his?"
The Queen Mother is now old and her youngest son is in his prime. If he can survive, the Queen Mother is willing to sacrifice her own life.
"The Queen Mother should stay alive. It's probably too late now."
When Li Xiang said this, the Queen Mother froze. His Majesty the King breathed a sigh of relief. How could someone as efficient as Li Xiang leave any room for bargaining? When they entered the palace just now, the head of the King of Zhennan had already fallen to the ground.
To be honest, the Prince of Zhennan did have some ability. Although he was not as wise as those in the Tang Dynasty, he was indeed the best among them in the Kingdom of Nanzhao. Unfortunately, his enemy was Li Xiang. No matter in terms of brainpower or strength, he could not be stronger than Li Xiang, so that guy could only face failure.
"Father-in-law, please stand up. You are still needed to oversee the affairs outside. I have already reorganized the army. All of the Prince of Zhennan's followers have been arrested. It is time to return this country to you, father-in-law."
Seeing that the Queen Mother had nothing to say, Li Xiang walked to the side of the King of Nanzhao and helped him up. The guy was trembling with fear. When Li Xiang said this, he realized that his life was no longer in danger.
When Li Xiang didn't speak just now, he was worried in his heart, wondering whether the Tang army would kill both of his brothers. After all, the two brothers had their own power in Nanzhao. If it delayed their future rule, killing these two people would be the easiest way.
"These are all from your Highness, all from the Tang Dynasty."
This guy didn't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. The Queen Mother was so angry when she saw such an incompetent son. If time could go back, she would never let her eldest son ascend the throne. But it was too late now.
"They all belong to your grandson."
Li Xiang's light words were like taking over the entire country. Although the man in front of him was his father-in-law, Li Xiang always looked down on people without backbone, so after saying this, Li Xiang immediately left here. There were still many things for him to do outside, and he didn't have the time to accompany such a weak man. The rest of the things could be left to Qian Ping. This guy was not the first time to do such a thing. Everything had become a system, and there would be no mistakes...
