The two were suddenly stumped by Li Xiang's question. No matter how unwilling they were, this matter might really be settled, and both of them might not be able to leave Chang'an.
Although none of us are willing to do so, this also shows His Highness's trust in us. Apart from us, I'm afraid His Highness can't find anyone else.
"Your Highness's orders, we obey unconditionally, but you can't really let us stay in Chang'an forever. Now we are about to march south. Even if we don't participate in this war, what if we reach that Arab Empire? Didn't Your Highness say that they are as powerful as our Tang Dynasty? Will you not let us participate then?"
Su Dingfang didn't remember anything before, but he only remembered what Li Xiang said, that is, in today's world, if we really talk about powerful empires, then only these two empires are powerful. Su Dingfang has always wanted to see what the country as powerful as the Tang Dynasty is like, and really wants to fight them on the battlefield.
Niu Jinda's head was full of question marks. He had no idea what the Arab Empire was, but he saw the passion in Su Dingfang's eyes. This must be a very powerful opponent.
You must know that in today's Tang Dynasty, there is no competent opponent around. No matter how glorious they were in the past, or how arrogant they are now, in the end they will all be defeated by our Tang Dynasty. If you try to cause trouble for them, you will only lose face.
"The Arab Empire is indeed powerful. We'll discuss this when the time comes. If you still don't change your minds by then, I will allow you to accompany me on the expedition."
During this period, the Arab Empire established a vast empire spanning two continents, so it was hard to say what would happen to Li Xiang at that time. If a war really needed to be fought, Li Xiang thought it was okay to take the two of them with him.
After hearing Li Xiang's words, the two of them felt cheerful. Moving from the front line to the rear requires a process. If they cannot adapt psychologically, they will not be able to adapt to the work in Chang'an City. Various problems are likely to arise in the future, so Li Xiang took great pains to appease these two people.
Only if these two people are appeased, then in addition to watching over the General Tiance's Mansion for Li Xiang, they can also monitor every move in Chang'an City and serve as a role model.
The host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much. When the two left, they were carried out by their subordinates. Li Xiang was not in a much better condition. He could not stand steadily. If it were not for a few eunuchs supporting him, Li Xiang might have fallen headfirst into the artificial lake.
If this were true, then Li Xiang might be the first grandson of the Tang Dynasty to be drowned. By then, even his enemies would not be able to believe that such an opponent had just left like that.
Li Xiang spent nearly half a month in Chang'an City in such comfortable days. During this half month, in addition to visiting some senior officials within his system, Li Xiang also mocked his two brothers.
Li Dong has gone to the grassroots level to develop. Judging from his appearance, he should have no problem becoming a team leader.
As for Li Yuan, Li Xiang decided to keep him by his side. This guy looked very smart, and most importantly, he regarded Li Xiang as his boss in his heart. Such people were quite rare.
After hearing the news, Li Chengqian was very happy. Although he only arranged for two of his three sons and the remaining one was disliked by Li Xiang, it was still much better than before.
Looking at Li Yuan who was following Li Xiang, Li Gong was also extremely sad. But the opportunity was right in front of you, so who let you waste it?
Of course, before following Li Xiang, Li Xiang sent Li Yuan to the army. During the days when he did not leave Chang'an, this guy had to work hard in the army. In the future, whether he went south or to other places, if his body was not strong enough, the long journey alone could cost him his life. It was better to go to the army to get a vaccination first.
The identities of both men were not revealed. Like other new recruits, they worked hard in the large parade ground south of Chang'an City. Neither of them complained, because they understood that although their lives were much harder than those of other royal children now, they would definitely be able to stand higher and see farther than them in the future.
After half a month, Li Shimin finally summoned Li Xiang. It should be that the women in the Tiance General's Mansion were almost confirmed, so Li Shimin had to call Li Xiang to the palace. Now it is no longer the past. In the past, an imperial edict could make a decision. Now Li Shimin also has to ask Li Xiang's opinion. If he is unwilling, we can adjust it at any time. This is also the confidence of the court now.
In the past, the imperial court also had various political marriages. Whether you like it or not, as long as it is beneficial to the court, you must listen obediently. If you dare to object, Li Shimin will not be able to protect you.
But now it is different. No matter whether they are daughters from the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Families or daughters from the families of court ministers, Li Shimin can decide their stay or departure with just one sentence. If he likes them, they can stay. If he doesn't like them, they can go wherever they want. The Li family is respected throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin knew this sentence on the day the Tang Dynasty was founded, and it came from his mouth. However, at that time he was only the leader of all parties and could not issue orders to these big families. Sometimes he even had to please them.
Li Shimin was living a very depressed life at that time. Fortunately, he had a good grandson, which allowed him to do things as he pleased.
"Your Highness, you are here. His Majesty has asked me to wait here. I will take you in as soon as you arrive."
Wang De was already waiting in front of the palace gate. He might be the one who would have some inconvenience after Li Xiang moved out. In the past, the East Palace was closer, but now he has to wait in front of the palace gate. This also shows how much Li Shimin values Li Xiang.
"Thank you, Master Steward. I've been very busy in Chang'an City these days. If there's a chance someday, when you're on your day off, we can have a drink together."
Li Xiang said with a smile, and Wang De felt as happy as if his heart was filled with honey. Li Xiang's position was becoming more and more stable, and he treated him the same as before. Who could not be happy?
