Chapter 432 Everyone’s Expectation

When Li Xiang walked out of the palace, the news quickly spread throughout Chang'an City. Not only the dignitaries knew the news, but also some traffickers and lackeys, they also knew that something had changed in Chang'an City today.

"Speaking of which, His Highness King Wu is not bad, and his reputation among us people is also very good. But if he leads an army of 200,000, I always feel a little uneasy. My second son is still in the army. This

What if I can't come back? What will I do with my old bones?"

Before Old Man Liu, the vegetable seller, stretched out his wrinkles in the market, the events in the imperial court had also spread to the market. His Highness King Wu had a good reputation, but if he said that he was leading troops to fight, many people still couldn't believe it.

"I said, old man Liu, you can put your heart in your stomach now. Our eldest grandson, I'm used to it. Now that he is the eldest grandson, he is a good fighter. Tuyuhun has become our vassal state."

, I heard that this trip to Tubo turned the whole Tubo upside down. Most people have no such ability. If I want to break a taboo, can those princes do it?"

Butcher Wang, who was processing the meat, said in a low voice that it was not a trivial matter for the common people to talk about the prince in the imperial court. Of course, everyone was acquaintances and would not go to the government to report. There was a reason why he was so happy. His younger brother was also in the city.

In the army outside, everyone was as unsure as His Highness King Wu.

"Who says it's not? It's strange to say, do you think we people are biased? No matter what His Majesty the Grand Sun does, we all think we can do it, but if someone else does it, we will feel uncomfortable in our hearts.

Always on edge."

A woman passing by also heard this sentence. You must know that women don't care much about political matters, but many things about Li Xiang have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For example, because of the large amount of food arriving from the grain farm, some time ago

The price of food in Chang'an City has increased by half, but now it has returned to normal.

Whenever there is a war, the price of food can be seen most. These women don't care who becomes the general, they know that the price of food has dropped and we can buy more things with the same money.

Knowing that this matter was related to Li Xiang, I believed in Li Xiang even more.

"I heard from my cousin in the yamen that this is called personal confidence, which means that we have confidence in His Highness Taisun. If others do the same thing, we will be worried, but if it is left to Taisun

With His Highness Sun, this matter has become a piece of cake."

After Butcher Wang said this, the people around him nodded. Although they were all illiterate, after Butcher Wang's explanation, they found that it was indeed the same thing. Although His Highness Taisun had not been in power for a long time,

But in the hearts of the people in Chang'an City, it is synonymous with reliability.

While the common people were talking about this matter, the dignitaries of Chang'an City were not idle either. Some of their friends began to find opportunities to gather together and discuss this matter. Of course, those around Li Xiang were the happiest.

With this expedition to Goryeo, many people may be able to take off again.

Cheng Mansion

"The final situation hasn't been decided yet. One of you is the eldest brother-in-law, and the other is the second uncle-in-law. Now you are out drinking on the street. Don't you know how to keep a low profile?"

Cheng Yaojin held a big stick in his hand, and Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang were kneeling here honestly. Since they found out that Li Xiang was going to be the Generalissimo of Zhengdong, these two people were happy. Others didn't need to bring it with them, but

Can we not take it with us?

According to Cheng Chuliang, I am his second brother-in-law, and there is no one closer to him than me in the entire Chang'an City. My own sister is married to him, so why don't you take me with you on the expedition?

The two sons looked at each other and didn't know what to say. You old man only allowed the state officials to set fires and not the people to light lamps.

The smell of alcohol must have come from drinking somewhere else. I didn't dare to lie when I got home, so I called my two sons back.

After scolding for a while, Cheng Yaojin also felt a little tired, and suddenly he remembered something serious.

"No one came from the East Palace?"

As soon as Cheng Yaojin said this, the two brothers also felt strange. They all said that they were brothers in battle. Now Li Xiang is already confirmed to be the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition. The two of us should go out with the army. Why haven't we sent one yet?

Where are the people coming?

"Did things change? Don't you think you were dismissed?"

As soon as Cheng Chuliang finished speaking, he immediately felt the murderous eyes of his father and brother. He quickly shook his head vigorously. This situation was impossible. There were countless people the emperor could use. If Li Xiang didn't go

If so, there really is no one left in the royal family.

"There's something wrong. It's been several hours. You should have sent us a letter. It's impossible for me to leave Chang'an City. You two brothers should follow me. This is a perfect opportunity."

Cheng Yaojin said to himself, everyone knows that this time is the time to gain political achievements. If you don't go, it will not be easy to find such an opportunity in the future. Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang have risen quickly, but then again

, who would despise himself for having so many opportunities?

Just when the father and son were wondering, Qian Ping, the eunuch chief of the East Palace, came in and sent a handwritten letter from Li Xiang.

"Father, what's in this letter? Does it tell me and my eldest brother to leave the city quickly to organize the army?"

Cheng Chuliang was anxious beside him, but he also knew Cheng Yaojin's rules.

Cheng Chumo nodded beside him. The three armies had been trained by His Highness King Wu, and many people had even been deployed. If Li Xiang wanted to rectify these people, he would have to rely on his own talents. Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang

Neither our brother-in-law nor I know such people. If we rely on them, we will definitely not feel comfortable commanding on the battlefield.

"You two, stop working. In this expedition to Goguryeo, you two have no chance to go to the battlefield. This letter clearly states that according to the emperor's original arrangement, Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang will go with the army, and Qin Huaiyu and Fang Yiai

, you two stay in the capital."

After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, the two brothers were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out. How on earth was this arranged? Is there anyone more trustworthy than our two brothers on the battlefield? Cheng Chumo is a little bit

I couldn't believe it, so I quickly took the letter from Cheng Yaojin's hand. It was clearly written in black and white on the letter that the Cheng family brothers were staying in the capital...
