If the imperial physician had said this in the past, Li Chengqian would have immediately ordered all these crappy imperial physicians to be beheaded. You people have purely malicious intentions. My health is obviously fine, but you insist on letting me rest in the East Palace. Which bastard told you that?
But now the situation is completely different. I know my own body. I play in the East Palace every day, and sometimes I can go outside for a walk. My whole mood can be said to be extremely relaxed. No matter what I look at, I always feel very comfortable.
Whenever he touched those memorials, Li Chengqian felt his body's instinctive rejection, which he couldn't fake. If he were to return to the Secretariat, he would just continue to stay in bed.
"Father, it seems you've truly figured it out. After this period of time, if you're willing to rest, I'll pick up the pieces of this matter first. However, I can't let go of everything. I plan to submit ten memorials every day. I hope you'll be understanding."
Li Xiang has already started to perform the ceremony. Of course, in addition to letting Li Chengqian share some government affairs, the most important thing is not to let Li Chengqian be idle. After his body recovers, he may have to start to pull back the power. Li Xiang is very clear about his father, so during the rest period, he only handles ten memorials a day. The workload is not very large, and it can be regarded as indirectly handling the government affairs.
Hearing Li Xiang's words and seeing that Li Xiang had already knelt in front of him, Li Chengqian felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart. It was said that this son was a genius of the Tang Dynasty, and now he could speak to him with such respect. This was already quite a difficult thing. Who among those guys outside did not envy him for having a good son? If the East Palace did not have this good son, it might not even have a chance to make a comeback.
"If that's the case, then let's make a gentleman's agreement between father and son. Aside from these ten memorials, I won't be involved in anything else for you. You'll have to learn this lesson. You didn't have to worry about these things when you were fighting outside. Now, I have to let you generals know that our civil service group in Chang'an isn't doing it easy either."
When the prince said this, if the civil servants heard it, they would probably cheer. The common people now have a different impression, that is, the Tang Dynasty generals who fought outside are the pillars of the entire Tang Dynasty. You, the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty, cannot be said to be a group of parasites, but you have not done anything good either.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty was able to achieve everything it has today because of the mutual support of civil officials and military generals. It is absolutely impossible to rely on one side alone. Especially at this stage, the role of civil officials is also very important. Otherwise, how can so many talents be selected? Moreover, the economic status of various places is constantly improving. These civil officials have played a very important role. It's just that the cultural level of ordinary people is too low to see this at all.
On the other hand, it is different for the generals in the army. Whenever they achieve victory outside, almost everyone can see it, and they are willing to see the victory outside. After each victory, many ordinary people can benefit. This is also one of the reasons why they look forward to victory in foreign wars.
Northwestern Ali Dynasty.
The people sent by Cheng Chumo have returned, including many people from the Five Surnames and Seven Families. They moved westward along the Caspian Sea and have reached the edge of the Byzantine Empire. When they discovered these people, they lamented that there was still a huge empire. They thought that after defeating the Arab Empire, we would have no other enemies in the west. Now it seems that is far from the case.
After hearing their report, the Cheng Chumo brothers frowned. They didn't expect that in the west of the Ali Dynasty, there were some people with different beliefs. They also had tall city walls and even heavily armored cavalry. These people were also defending their beliefs.
"Are you saying that these people's clothing and various living habits are different from those of the people in the Arab Empire?"
Cheng Chuliang said with some surprise that Li Xiang had originally instilled in them the knowledge that the Arab Empire was the largest empire to our west. So from this point of view, all the land to our west should belong to the Arab Empire. Now it seems that this is far from the case.
"In reply to the General, these people's country is called the Byzantine Empire. They believe in something with a cross. I don't know what it is, but it's completely different from the people of the Arab Empire. Even their city walls and armor look different. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, I also know that in their wars with the Arab Empire, the Arabs seem to have won more battles."
The personnel in charge of the investigation told all the information they had obtained. Now was the most powerful period of the Arab Empire. If it were not for the war with the Tang Dynasty, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople, might have been captured.
"If that's the case, we must have helped them. If we hadn't defeated the Arab Empire, the war between them and the Arab Empire would have continued. I couldn't say who would win or lose at that time. According to their previous records, they were no match for the Arab Empire."
Cheng Chumo stroked his beard and said, and his detectives nodded. Originally, the Arab Empire was fighting with them and killed many of their people. Who knew that because of the war in the East, the Arab Empire's army quickly supported the Governor's Office of Anton, so they also got a chance to catch their breath.
But according to what the investigators said, even if we helped them, these people would not appreciate it. They always felt that they would be able to defeat the Arab Empire in the end. Both the Cheng Chumo brothers looked down on their confidence.
"Let's ignore them for now. Just send people to continue the reconnaissance. Our army will continue westward from the Ali Dynasty and continue to capture the border areas of the Byzantine Empire. If they don't cause trouble, then forget it. Your Highness hasn't ordered us to attack them yet. If they do cause trouble, I will defeat them all along the way."
Cheng Chumo said this very arrogantly, but no one present thought he was being arrogant, because we can really do it.
