Chapter 1458 Father-in-law is afraid of son-in-law

When Nanzhao first surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, they were willing to send their children to the army. They wanted to make Nanzhao play a greater role. The most important thing was to find a way out for the people below. After all, the army They are paid by the military, so they are not allowed to stay at home.

However, when Nanzhao's army achieved results on the battlefield and General Tiance's Mansion asked them to form a new army, the King of Nanzhao dragged his feet and ignored Li Xiang's orders. This was already three or four years ago. Months have passed, so Li Xiang is ready to hold him accountable in person.

"Your Highness, it's not because we didn't work hard. The previous group were from poor families and couldn't afford to eat when they were not soldiers. Now these people also know the dangers on the battlefield, especially since a large number of dead soldiers were brought back some time ago. As a result, these people are even more afraid to go to the battlefield. The royal family and I have been spreading the news around for a while, but the effect has been extremely limited. "

King Nanzhao put on a difficult look, as if he had really contributed to this matter, but the information Li Xiang received was different. He only went out two days a month to make a show, and spent the rest of the time He is coveting pleasure in the palace. To put it bluntly, he is slacking off in work.

Now it is different from the beginning. I originally thought that after forming Nanzhao's army, they might have military power in their hands. However, from the formation of the army to the training, the people of the Nanzhao Wang family could not get involved at all, and even They are also deliberately isolated. Since they have nothing to do with them, these people are not busy doing this. Why do they need to make wedding clothes for others?

Li Xiang glanced at this father-in-law with deep meaning, and the King of Nanzhao was also shocked by the sight. He was obviously his father-in-law, and the man in front of him was his son-in-law. If he were placed in an ordinary person's home, he would not be himself. He stood while sitting, and listened to what he said.

However, due to the identities of both parties, King Nanzhao is a little afraid of his son-in-law. You only have this one capable son-in-law, but there are many capable father-in-laws, and they all protect your son-in-law without the help of your son-in-law. There is a possibility that the throne will not come down.

If it weren't for your daughter marrying Li Xiang, you would be studying in Chang'an City now. Would you still have a chance to be the so-called king here? Although the title of summoning the king has been removed politically, people around him still politely said, "Your Majesty the King, isn't this because of Li Xiang?"

If you two had a falling out, I'm afraid everything would have to be done in accordance with the rules and regulations, and the palace would have to be vacated in a few years. Even the king would be gone, so why is there still a palace?

As for saying that you are not satisfied in your heart, there are many royal family members who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and those people are not satisfied in their hearts. Do we, the Tang Dynasty, have to ask for their opinions?

There has never been such a truth in the world. Winners are kings and losers are bandits. Even children know this sentence. You are the loser now. Do you still want to be treated like a winner? I'm afraid this is a bit unjustifiable.

"I will definitely step up to handle this matter, and it will be effective in a short time. I will definitely not cause any problems to the Tang army on the battlefield, I promise."

Li Xiang didn't say a word, but King Nanzhao couldn't stand the pressure now. He took the initiative to express his loyalty to Li Xiang. This was considered a sensible thing on his part. If Li Xiang was allowed to continue to watch on demand, I'm afraid the relationship would be broken. A small crack is not terrible, but if the crack slowly becomes larger, then I am afraid that your life will be difficult. It will be too late to regret it by then, and there is no regret medicine in the world.

"This is the best. I am going to Vietnam this time. I hope you can prepare 3,000 young men for me. These people should be ready within a few days. Let them move forward quickly along the way. When I arrive in Vietnam After that, I hope to see them within five days, and you don’t have to worry about the rest of the training, preferably someone who often lives in the mountains and forests.”

Li Xiang's tone did not contain any discussion. There was no one else here, and there was no need to act.

If there is anyone else, Li Xiang has to consider Princess Yongning's face. After all, this is the princess's biological father. You can't do things with such a commanding tone. Now there are only two of them left, and there is no discussion. If necessary, either you agree honestly and continue to be your puppet king, or you refuse directly. Then we will take it one step at a time, but I don’t know if you, old man, can bear it.

Three thousand young adults opened their mouths. You must know that the number of young people in Nanzhao on the battlefields in various places now exceeds 25,000. For the entire Tang Dynasty, these 25,000 people may not be a big deal, but for For a small borderland like Nanzhao, 25,000 young men are quite a lot. Now there are 3,000 more, and it will soon exceed 30,000.

Just when King Nanzhao was hesitating, he suddenly saw the guard standing at the door with a knife. If he didn't do this, then it is very likely that the head would not be saved. What they need is an obedient slave, even if you Even the old father-in-law must be obedient.

If you can't handle the things assigned to you, then why should they guarantee your status? Do I support you every day? The relationship between countries has always been dirty and bloody. Don't listen to those people standing on a high platform to introduce friendship. It is simply an insult to people's IQ.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, they will all be put together in the next few days, and I will personally go and watch. I will screen them according to the plans you made before. Those with problems will never be sent to the army."

In less than ten seconds, King Nanzhao knew how to respond to this matter. Facing the huge pressure from Li Xiang, he actually had no other choice. Only in this way could he keep his throne.

"Father-in-law, thank you for your hard work. The princess asked me to bring some things. I have already sent people to the palace. Father-in-law can also go to Chang'an for a stroll when he has time. The princess may be a little lonely in Chang'an."

After hearing the promise, Li Xiang had a smile on his face, and King Nanzhao breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt aggrieved, the current hurdle was over. As for these three thousand young men, I can’t care so much about my life and death now. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. Everyone understands this truth... (End of this chapter)
