In fact, this is also a very normal thing. One is a formal marriage, and it is agreed by both parents. Although she is not Li Xiang’s legal wife, it is also a formal marriage between the crown prince of one country and the princess of another country.
The other one secretly climbed into his brother-in-law's bed, and he couldn't explain why. Can these two people be exactly the same?
Looking at Li Xiang's leaving back, Princess Yongping didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong, but Princess Yongping now had an idea, that is, judging from the current situation, the future days should be better than now, but not much better. It is impossible to get a status, and she can only be Li Xiang's plaything in private.
Of course, even if she wants to be Li Xiang's plaything, she must find her own strengths. Not to mention the women in Chang'an City, let's talk about the women in Fusang. They are all trying their best to rush forward. If there is a chance, no one will lag behind others.
Local officials from all over the country hoped to have a private meeting with Li Xiang, but there were too many of them, so Li Xiang could only send two or three people in a group. At most, he would say a few words to them. Most people would come and kowtow to Li Xiang, and the meeting would be over.
Although it was done very hastily, by the time Li Xiang met the last official, it was already afternoon.
Lord Suzuki was also very tired. He had to stay by Li Xiang's side all the time and introduce these local officials of Fuso to Li Xiang, as well as some local customs and practices.
When these people met Li Xiang, they all felt a fear in their hearts, fearing that if they did something wrong, they might be killed by Li Xiang directly, which would be a huge loss.
Li Xiang did not specifically explain their thoughts. He just had to let these people maintain a fearful mentality. If they had this mentality, they would definitely be nervous in the future when doing things, fearing that they would do something wrong. Only by maintaining this mentality could they accomplish what Li Xiang asked for with the best results.
If it were within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang would definitely enlighten the officials in these places and ask them to put down their burdens and serve the people well.
But unfortunately, this is Fuso, and the Tang Dynasty's methods cannot be applied here at all. So the more these people trembled, the more satisfied Li Xiang felt.
In addition to the meeting, Li Xiang's first task was to take back military power in accordance with the decree he had just issued.
In addition to the hundreds of yamen runners in the local government offices, they had to hand over their private armies, whether they were their family generals or people in the yamen, and they had to be handed over to Kato Jiro and Ohkawa Gensaburo for unified management.
Of course, some people are dissatisfied, but I have made it clear to them before they came. If you are not satisfied with the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then you can disobey it. Of course, the price of disobeying it will be very serious. Look at the dozens of people who died in the Ueno family. Do you still want to oppose these orders?
Every drop of blood will not be in vain. Li Xiang understood this truth very well, so he used the lives of dozens of people in the Ueno family to make all local officials understand that what Li Xiang said was an imperial edict. No matter how many years your plan has been running, as long as you come to participate in the celebration, you should proceed according to the new laws.
Jiatang and Ohkawa Gensaburo were very satisfied. At least the power in the hands of these two people began to increase again. However, they also discovered another thing at the same time, that is, there were three more generals under them. They had never seen these three people before, but these three people were indeed Fuso people.
In name, the officers and soldiers in the local government offices were under the command of Okawa Gensaburo and Kato Jiro.
However, those familiar with military operations understood that these newly increased powers seemed to have fallen into the hands of these three generals. Although they discovered this, they dared not speak out. These three people were obviously His Highness's people. If you were dissatisfied with them, wouldn't that also mean you were dissatisfied with His Highness? In today's Fuso army, if you were dissatisfied with His Highness in the slightest, you would lose everything.
Li Xiang was also very satisfied with the performance of these two people. At least they did not cause any trouble. He thought that they would stand up and oppose his arrangements, but he did not expect that these two people would just obey any policy of Li Xiang as if they were unaware, just like other local officials.
That night, after Li Xiang had sent away a large number of people, the officials invited the main generals of Fusang to come over. It was also the first time that he had a drink with them at the same table since he came to Fusang.
These people were indeed flattered. Although a grand banquet was held for all the ministers last night, there were so many people that they didn't even have a chance to have a drink with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Today, those annoying local officials finally left, and the four of them finally had the chance to have a drink with His Royal Highness.
Suzuki sits in the upper left position, and among the four, he has the most power.
Sitting opposite him is Kato Jiro. Normally, this position belongs to Ohkawa Gensaburo. After all, the Ohkawa Gen family has deep roots in the entire Fuso. However, in the process of training the army, Kato Jiro is far superior to him. Li Xiang did this to let everyone see, don't talk about your previous resume in front of me, those things are useless, you have to let me see your true strength.
It is precisely because of this that two factions emerged in the Fuso army. One faction was composed of those people of status who always talked about history and did not pay much attention to the current achievements.
The other faction is Kato Jiro's people. They only care about the immediate gains and have nothing in history. Therefore, these two factions are relatively opposed and have caused a lot of trouble.
To put it bluntly, it is a confrontation between the grassroots and the aristocracy.
If such a confrontation occurred within the Tang army, Li Xiang would definitely find a way to help them resolve it, but if it happened within the Fuso army, Li Xiang would be happy to see their confrontation.
If the Japanese army from another country were to unite together, how could Li Xiang sleep at night? But if they were to fight every day, it would be a very good thing for Li Xiang. As long as they did not leave the circle, they could fight as they pleased.
