"Husband..."
"Um……"
"Husband, please call me concubine."
"Lady."
"Um."
"That's great, husband, we are a family now."
"necessary."
"Husband, will you prepare a lot of delicious food for me in the future?"
"That's for sure."
"Husband, does the chili pepper you told me about really exist?"
"certainly."
"Then can I eat it?"
"It must be possible."
"Really? Then let's pull the hook."
"Well……"
Finally, the tired and sleepy beauty beside him finally fell into a deep sleep.
Cheng Sanlang, who finally got rid of being single and a boy, slowly closed his eyes.
"Husband."
"Um?"
"It's okay, I just wanted to call you."
"……Um."
"Husband, it's dawn."
"Well, it's really bright."
"...Oh, husband, get up soon. We want to offer tea to my parents-in-law."
"Isn't it too early?"
"Okay, let's lie down some more."
"Um……"
"Husband, will this concubine disturb your rest?"
"How can it be."
"Okay then, let's have a conversation, shall we?"
"……Um."
#####
Cheng Yaojin and Mrs. Cui watched the energetic third daughter-in-law Li Mingda greet them both with a smile.
On the side, Cheng Sanlang seemed to be yawning profusely. He couldn't help but glared at his own son fiercely. It was so unbecoming to greet his parents.
Well, this kid is already married after all, so you can't deal with him in front of your wife. That would be too disrespectful to your own son. Let's talk about it later.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed and the bride returned home. This time, Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, seemed as if they had not seen Li Mingda for several years.
Li Yuan's first sentence was: That boy didn't bully you, did he?
Although Li Shimin on the side didn't get the first sentence, judging from his expression, he probably asked the same question.
Cheng Sanlang looked at these two old men with a dark look on his face, he was really drunk.
Fortunately, there was a considerate mother-in-law who relieved Cheng Sanlang of his embarrassment and motioned for him to sit down and drink tea.
Looking back at the two men from the Li family who were greeting Li Mingda, who was smiling coquettishly, Empress Changsun felt helpless, and then she explained to Cheng Sanlang.
"Xian son-in-law, your father-in-law and the others should have a good chat with... well, let them have a good chat in the past few days."
Cheng Sanlang nodded graciously and respectfully took the tea from Queen Changsun.
"My son-in-law understands. After all, the emperor and his father-in-law love and care for Mingda. My son-in-law is also aware of it."
My mother-in-law must have been having a hard time during these two or three days.
After all, the two big bosses must be like two ants on a hot pot, thinking about it day and night in the palace. Gee, the thought of that kind of scene makes my eyes irritate.
This made Cheng Sanlang feel a little proud. I'm sorry, but now, this woman is already my wife.
#####
Li Shimin clasped his hands behind his back and strode forward slowly, while his wife was left in the Yaoguang Palace to accompany Li Yuan, and Cheng Sanlang, the Changsun Queen, followed his father-in-law obediently towards the Wu'an Palace.
"My dear son-in-law, I have already decided on the day to return to Chang'an, which will be in three days. In addition, we have already formulated a plan to rescue Li Simo."
"It won't take long before troops will be mobilized to target Xue Yantuo."
"As for Xianmei, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for a few days before you have to leave. Remember to explain it clearly to Mingda and don't make her worry."
"Yes, my son-in-law understands." Cheng Chubi nodded respectfully and replied.
Seeing that Cheng Sanlang was still so courageous in his duties, Li Shimin was very satisfied.
"But this time, you and Yaozhou are dealing with Tubo affairs. I need you to go to Yaozhou with great fanfare. Do you understand what I mean?"
After hearing this, Cheng Sanlang held his head high, patted his chest and replied.
"You know, you know, it's just like when my son-in-law leads a thousand wolf soldiers there, he claims to have 100,000 wolf soldiers to attack Tubo, right?"
Hearing these words, Li Shimin's steps became chaotic and he almost stumbled and fell onto the road.
Zhao Kun from behind almost wanted to kick Cheng Sanlang on the buttocks. Could this bastard be more serious?
Li Shimin controlled his balance and glared at Cheng Sanlang, a bastard who was talking nonsense.
"You kid, can you be more careful what you say? A thousand horned soldiers are called a hundred thousand horned soldiers. Believe it or not, I will let you see ten thousand blows of the butt stick?"
"...Yes, yes, my son-in-law must pay attention, must pay attention."
Seeing this father-in-law who just married his daughter to him looked like he was about to fall out.
Cheng Chubi was also helpless. Since ancient times, the practice of falsely reporting the number of troops and horses was not invented by Lao Tzu.
When Cao Cao went south, he only had about a hundred thousand soldiers at most, but they were all called eight hundred thousand, and I called his thousand canine soldiers one hundred thousand... Hey, that seems to be a little exaggerated.
But is it necessary to care about such small flaws?
It seems that His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, really doesn’t know how to love his house and his wife. He has become your son-in-law, so what’s the use of bragging?
Cheng Sanlang, who was complaining crazily in his heart, followed Li Shimin with a lowered brow and eyes.
After arriving at Wu'an Palace, they didn't have to wait too long. Li Ji, a veteran driver who did harm to others, Li Ke and Ren Yaxiang also arrived.
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang who had become his son-in-law, his biological son Li Ke, Ren Yaxiang, whom Li Ji also highly praised, and Li Ji, the Minister of War.
His fingers were tapping on the desk, but everyone was very quiet. After all, His Majesty usually likes to talk nonsense in Wencheng Hall.
But when they arrived at Wu'an Hall, they usually only discussed state affairs in a serious manner. This was in line with the style of the Chinese military officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Civil servants like to talk, while generals like to work hard.
Li Shimin stood in front of the huge sand table and began to describe the strategy and formation of troops that was about to attack Xue Yantuo.
After asking Li Ji in detail about his considerations and ideas for defending the southern area of ​​Longyou, as well as the deployment of troops and horses.
Only then did his eyes fall on Cheng Sanlang. "Come here, good son-in-law, tell me how you plan to contain Tubo?"
"My son-in-law feels that the only way to contain Tibet is to create pressure without pressure."
"Therefore, the imperial court must make everyone in Tubo feel that if they don't work hard to deploy heavy troops in this area, it is very likely that the Tang Dynasty will counterattack on the plateau..."
As for how to make Tubo be deceived, it had to be like what Li Shimin said before, with a big fanfare.
In addition to making a big splash, Cheng Chubi felt that the most important thing to do was to do a good job in publicity.
For example, let Li Ke, His Highness the King of Wu, become the Grand Governor, commanding the southern states of Jiannan Road, and then sit in Yaozhou to recruit soldiers from the southern states...
"Although the imperial court is very clear that there are not many imperial soldiers along the Jiannan Road, but if we talk about Xun soldiers or imperial soldiers, they are much larger in number."
"Moreover, the imperial court ordered the recruitment with great fanfare. This will definitely make Tubo think that our Tang Dynasty wants to cause trouble in Yaozhou... ahem, there is a big move."
