The two people present were also wondering who would make the final decision? Li Shimin's brothers? Although they were princes of the older generation, their power had been largely reduced, and they no longer had much power, especially no military authority.
Li Chengqian's brothers? That's unlikely. Although they are stationed in various places, they only have two or three thousand troops at most, and all of them are guards under their command. What kind of trouble can these people cause?
Li Xiang's brothers? That was even more impossible. Some of these people were still infants in Chang'an, so it was impossible for them to rebel. Li Xiang thought about it, but ultimately did not find his enemy. When he woke up the next morning, he could only continue to follow the army westward.
"You need to pay more attention to hydrating. The further west you go, the drier it gets. If I had known earlier, I would have brought you with me when we went south. Going to a place like this in the west now would be quite harmful to your skin. If you're worried, you can return to Chang'an now."
Looking at Xiao Xun'er and Mosuo's faces, Li Xiang smiled and said, Chang'an City itself is dry enough, but compared with the northwest region, it is still a good weather. The real dryness is in the northwest region. The women here have poor skin. Only in the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions can they have moisture.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? You can even go to the battlefield, so can't I accompany you? Appearance is not that important."
Although Xiao Xun'er said this, she was a little panicked inside. After all, Li Xiang was still young, and Xiao Xun'er was not bad looking. If she hurt her skin, it would be a real loss.
"Women always say one thing and mean another. I've never met anyone who doesn't care about her appearance. Don't leave the carriage unless you have time. It's still okay inside, and the roof is thicker. The further west you go, the stronger the sunlight gets, and the more wind and sand there is."
Li Xiang's carriage was big enough to accommodate several people. This was because the road to the west had been repaired. If the road had not been repaired, the carriage would have had a hard time traveling and would have been very bumpy in the west.
"Your Highness, please take a quick look at the memorials. Don't worry about my reputation. These two packages of memorials were just delivered today. There was another package left there yesterday. These were all transferred from the General Tiance's Mansion. If we don't send them out quickly, I can't bear the responsibility."
Xiao Xun'er said a little embarrassedly, and then quickly spread the memorials on the table for Li Xiang. She had originally spent an hour last night reviewing the memorials, but who knew that Li Xiang saw Xiao Xun'er fawning beside him and simply threw the pen in his hand. As for what happened next, Xiao Xun'er is still blushing.
Xiao Xun'er didn't know what was going on with the soldiers on duty outside. She only knew that these people were standing outside the tent. It was really hard to be moved in front of so many people. However, Li Xiang understood that these people were exchanged by him from the system. Even if they were standing outside the tent, no matter what sound came from the tent, these people would pretend not to hear it.
"Then hurry up. Sit over there and take a look. Summarize it for me. This way, we can go faster."
The Tang Dynasty did not have so many rules. Although it was often said that the harem could not interfere in politics, Li Xiang did not let Xiao Xun'er do other things. She just summarized the memorials. Many people talked for a long time but did not get to the point, which was a waste of Li Xiang's time.
Of course, after Xiao Xun'er finished speaking, Li Xiang would still do some random checks. In case this girl had any ideas, something might not be so good. Xiao Xun'er also came from a political family, so she naturally knew that her job was very honorable, but if there was any problem, the entire family would be implicated.
"Forward these memorials to Su Dingfang and Chang Sunze. They've been on the road in carriages every day, so we can't leave them idle. They need to summarize the memorials and write down their opinions."
Li Xiang is very good at mobilizing the power of his subordinates. If he had to rely on himself, it would take a long time. Since you two are hanging around in the carriage, you have to do some serious work, otherwise get out and ride your horses.
Su Dingfang and Changsun Ze were indeed riding in a carriage, but they did not want to review the memorials. When they saw the eunuch beside Li Xiang bringing the memorials over, they really regretted it. If they had known the result would be like this, they would never have stayed in the carriage even if they were beaten to death. It would have been better for them to get on the horse.
When Li Xiang finished reviewing these memorials, it was time for lunch. Because it was not a real war period now, we were just preparing for war, so there was no need to march quickly, and many soldiers needed to rest.
The transportation of the Tang army is different now. In the past, people relied entirely on their own feet. Now, all kinds of animal carts are available, and basically no one can walk. Even if someone walks, it is because they have been sitting in the car for a long time and want to move around on the road. The Tang Dynasty court stipulates that for a journey of more than 200 miles, no one can rely entirely on their own legs.
Of course, if there are not enough livestock vehicles, a rotation system must be adopted. The rotation will be every ten miles, and the people on the vehicle will be specially replaced. If anyone dares to bully the recruits in this matter, the whip will never forgive you. In short, the current Tang Dynasty army has strict military discipline. If someone is found to have made a mistake, the military police will never forgive him.
When the military police were first established, many people felt that they were just for show. However, when many generals were punished by these military police, they realized that they were not just for show. These people all belonged to the General Tiance's Mansion. When you were punished by the military police, these military police had to write a report and send it directly to Chang'an City for archiving.
It was from that time on that everyone looked up to these military police. If they let their own affairs be exposed because of some trivial matters, it would very likely affect their progress in the future. Of course, these rumors were also spread by Li Xiang.
Anyone who dares to fight on the battlefield is looking for a chance to gain an official position. If they are punished for such a small mistake, wouldn't their achievements on the battlefield also be affected? So be careful in normal times and never go against the military police.
