Chapter 588 Two brothers-in-law

There are so many people watching here, and Cheng Yaojin’s face is also very important. When Cheng Yaojin knelt down just now, Li Xiang didn’t go over and let anyone help him up, because he wanted to see what it would be like at this moment. Etiquette refers to what kind of etiquette, national etiquette should be performed first and then family etiquette should be performed. This is what Li Shimin has always advocated.

The dissatisfaction in Cheng Yaojin's heart was long gone at this moment. He originally thought that Li Xiang was going to give him a slap in the face, but he didn't expect that it was not what he thought at all. Li Xiang just wanted to do things according to Li Shimin's advice and show off in front of so many people. Taisun salutes himself, and he is probably the only one in Chang'an City.

"My two uncles are here well."

Then Li Xiang saw Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang standing behind. These two people used to be very prosperous following Li Xiang, but they have been suppressed by the emperor recently, so their life is not good.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

But now we are at the gate of Cheng Yaojin's house. No matter what kind of grievances we have in our hearts, we have to swallow these words and wait until we enter before saying these words. So many people are watching now. If we If we complain on the spot, people will say that there are many of us who don’t have the city.

Then Li Xiang met some other people, and then, under Cheng Yaojin's vulgarity, followed them into the Cheng family mansion.

This is what the common people have been waiting for. Now that the real master has gone in, what else can we see, so these people dispersed in a hurry, but there was enough for them to say something about His Highness Taisun's salute just now. He is indeed a polite and handsome young man, who is much better than the old man Cheng Yaojin.

After entering the inner court, Li Xiang saluted some of the female members of his family. Although the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, it was not open to the extent that the female members of the family walked around the streets. After the salute, these people all left because it was not time for dinner. , so everyone started drinking tea.

"Why am I a little unhappy when I see my two brothers? I must be having a hard time these days, right?"

Li Xiang took a sip of tea and said, this is Cheng Yaojin cooked by him. As Li Xiang's old father-in-law, he can get as much as he wants. Whenever Cheng Yaojin hasn't finished drinking, Qian Ping has already Someone was sent to deliver it, which made the other princes envious, but who would let someone have a good son-in-law?

"We are all our own. To be honest, it was really frustrating. The two of us didn't make any mistakes, just some trivial things. But now we have been transferred back to the capital, and so far we have been There were no errands arranged, and we both had blisters on our butts."

Cheng Chumo said depressingly, the two of them had been guarding the border before, but because of some minor mistakes, they were directly educated by the emperor. I thought they would be brought down with just a few words, but who knew that they would be brought down directly? He was brought back and given some idle positions in some yamen in Chang'an City. Apart from the fact that his level remained the same, there was nothing wrong with him at all.

Cheng Yaojin didn't say anything beside him. He knew that this was a matter between juniors, and it was hard for him to interrupt. He couldn't say anything was wrong with the emperor. Although Li Xiang was his son-in-law now, he still had to restrain himself when it was time. You have to restrain yourself. The emperor still has the final say in the entire Tang Dynasty. If he and Li Xiang were not so close, the two sons would not be like this.

"Don't worry, don't worry. There are plenty of places where you can show off your talents. After the wedding, we'll see you on the battlefield."

Li Xiang's words successfully aroused the interest of the father and son. According to some people within the imperial court, the places where the war should be fought have been fought, where else can they go to fight?

"Sister-in-law, both the north and the south have almost surrendered. Although Tubo is still acting like a monster, I heard that they don't have the strength anymore. At most, they are just joking among themselves. There is no need for us to send troops to that place. Go over there. It was hard to breathe after that.”

Cheng Yaojin originally didn't want to interrupt and wanted to let the younger generation communicate among themselves. But when he heard that there was something going on on the battlefield, Cheng Yaojin immediately became interested. Now he is running around carrying two axes. If there is really a place where he can be used on the battlefield, it is absolutely unambiguous.

The Cheng Chumo brothers also nodded. They analyzed their surroundings. There might be some fighting in Gaochang, but if Su Dingfang was there, there would be nothing to fight.

Speaking of Su Dingfang and Niu Jinda, this is probably the most depressing thing for the emperor. These two people are not the emperor's direct descendants, but they can also be regarded as members of the emperor's faction. But after the war between Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo, these two people have firmly become It is no longer a secret that he has joined Li Xiang's camp, so the emperor will intensify his efforts to find trouble for Li Xiang.

"Father-in-law, I have said before that this world is very big, and it is not just the small part we know. Now that we have only occupied part of it, don't we want to get the other parts back as well? ?”

Li Xiang said something similar before, but these people thought Li Xiang was joking. In their understanding, the surrounding countries have basically been defeated. Do we want to invade other countries at will?

"According to the emperor's wishes, we must have a truce with the world. Only in this way can we show the status of our dynasty. But if we have to interfere everywhere according to your wishes, what will happen to us?"

Cheng Yaojin said with some worry, although he is a military general, he also knows that he cannot fight for a long time. If he fights with foreign countries for a long time, it will easily destroy the comprehensive national strength. The Tang Dynasty is now prosperous. If there is a war in the future, I can't control myself anymore. Where can I find such a prosperous Tang Dynasty?

"Father-in-law, have you ever heard this sentence? Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land? There are still many places that may not be our family, then we should ask them, if they If you don’t agree, wouldn’t that be the reason to start a war?”

When Li Xiang said this, the three gentlemen in the room looked at him as if he were a monster. What you said was too domineering. If they don't want to be a vassal state for you, you have to treat him immediately. People's land has been snatched away. Do they really treat us as gods descending to earth?

"Don't you have a fever? We can't do this. We only have a few days of peaceful life!"

Cheng Yaojin said worriedly, he felt that Li Xiang was a bit war-mad...
