Chapter 1256 King of Chengdu

After the entire army adapted for five days, the speed finally increased to 100 kilometers per day. Cheng Ying was also sent to the carriage at this time. There was no need to follow Li Xiang, and Li Xiang himself also got on the carriage.

The main reason is that the daily travel time is too long. If he keeps riding, he will not be able to approve many of Li Xiang's memorials.

After becoming the general of Tiance, many memorials from the Ministry of War had to be transferred. Without Li Xiang's instructions, there would be no way to proceed with many things. This was one of the reasons why Li Xiang wanted to ride in a carriage.

Li Xiang's carriage is very spacious, and it is like a small room inside, nearly ten square meters in size, and high enough. Li Xiang also modified it to have four wheels.

In addition, Li Xiang made some shock-absorbing equipment, so there is not much shaking inside.

"Send to Southeast Road."

Li Xiang finished approving a memorial and pushed it directly to the front. Cheng Ying immediately took it and placed it at the window. A guard immediately took it in his hand.

The memorial was delivered five minutes later. In addition to the memorial, two homing pigeons were released in the hands of a soldier. This is also the method of delivery that has been preserved.

If the speed of the homing pigeon is fast enough, it will be half the time faster than the soldiers.

However, some problems are likely to occur among carrier pigeons, so the method of soldier transmission must be retained.

"Your Highness, please take a sip of tea. I've added hot water twice."

It has been almost an hour. Li Xiang has approved a total of eighteen memorials. So far, he has not even drank a sip of tea. Cheng Ying rang several times and finally had to remind Li Xiang that when Li Xiang opened his mouth, the tea bowl was already It's on the lips.

Li Xiang smiled and nodded. He didn't care about tasting the tea at this time. He drank it all in one gulp and then started reviewing the memorial again.

Li Xiang's office efficiency is still very high. It took him two full hours to review a large number of memorials. After that, a new memorial came over, but it was not sent to Li Xiang, but to the back. on a carriage.

Zhang Jiuli and his men must first read the memorial, and then summarize it. If it is urgent, send it to them immediately. If it is not urgent, they will send it to Li Xiang the next morning. He starts on his way every morning. Those two hours are the time when Li Xiang works intensively, and the rest of the time is spent enjoying life.

There was a large reclining chair in the carriage. Li Xiang waved his hand at this moment, and Cheng Ying sat in Li Xiang's arms. This way of progress was their favorite.

The windows on both sides are also open. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, but you can also eat fruits from various places. Now we are far away from Chang'an City and have arrived in Sichuan, so the weather is a little warmer.

"Report to Your Highness, the King of Chengdu is waiting in front to greet you."

The imperial edict from the imperial court has been issued, and the King of Chengdu is responsible for supervising the payment of some military pay this time.

"Go and tell him that the military situation on the front line is urgent this time, and the two countries have united. I will not meet with him, and there is no need to stop the troops. Just let him supervise the food and grass management."

Li Xiang was already very tired from reviewing the memorials. He did not have the time to deal with these royal children. In fact, asking them to supervise the food and grass management was just a name. Did he really think that they would do the work themselves? That's too naive.

The King of Chengdu is standing next to the official road at the moment. He is not willing to meet Li Xiang. There is not such a deep relationship between the two parties. Although the blood relationship is left here, if they really meet, what will they say? ?

If we talk about national affairs, the King of Chengdu and his father, King Shu, have already left the imperial court, and they don’t know many things at all. If we talk about family ties, the affection between the two parties will only remain in words. , chatting will only make both parties more embarrassed.

So Zhang Jiuli went over to convey it on behalf of Li Xiang, which also made the King of Chengdu breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the army passing quickly in front of him, it was impossible for the King of Chengdu not to be jealous.

We are all the grandsons of Li Shimin. Although you are the prince's son and I am the prince's son, there is no difference in status.

Of course, the King of Chengdu had no ambition to compete for the throne. From the day he left Chang'an, the King of Chengdu knew that he would never ascend to the throne. In the future, including his father, he would be a side branch of the Li family.

If you can stay in this mountain honestly, you can still keep your glory and wealth in the future, but if you have those thoughts that you shouldn't have, you may not have the same life now.

Although the King of Chengdu is not very old, he understands that there is no family affection at all in the royal family. Is there anyone in the family who doesn't know how Li Shimin obtained the throne?

If those people can leave Chang'an early and find a place to be idle princes, the court will not cause trouble for you. As long as you don't confront the superiors and I raise some soldiers myself, then your life will be better than that of ordinary people. Much more comfortable.

Take the King of Chengdu as an example. In addition to the money given by the court every year, there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land around Chengdu, dedicated to supporting his family's life. What kind of life can't you imagine?

What the court is least afraid of is that the royal children will act like moths. As long as you act as your moth properly, the court will still have money to spend on you, but you can’t cause public dissatisfaction. If you mess up the local area, , I'm afraid there will be trouble too.

The King of Chengdu's favorite thing is to listen to operas, and watching singing and dancing doesn't cost much. What's more, his palace also maintains a theater troupe, so the money given by the court is enough. As for letting him supervise the food and grass this time, if If he were in Chang'an himself, he would be eager to resign to Li Shimin.

Wouldn't it be nice to just enjoy the happiness at home?

Why bother to supervise the management of grain and grass? If the war is won, at most they will receive some rewards. For the royal family members, as long as they are not allowed to return to the capital, are other rewards of any use?

But if something goes wrong in supervising the grain and grass management, it will not be a trivial matter. Someone from top to bottom will make trouble for you, so in this matter, the King of Chengdu is the most sober.

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait until the army has passed before returning to the city?"

Thinking of this, the King of Chengdu turned his horse around and headed back. (End of chapter)
