Chapter 433 The Cheng brothers won’t leave Beijing
"Isn't Li Xiang still awake? Our two brothers are such good helpers and they don't take us to the front line but leave us in Chang'an City. What's going on..."
Cheng Chuliang wanted to continue talking, but his father glared back at him. Although you are in your own home, you have to be careful about what you say. It is good that Li Xiang is your brother-in-law, but Li Xiang may be many people.
Brother-in-law, even if you are Li Xiang's second uncle, if you speak like this, many opportunities in the future may not come to you.
"Second brother, you must be careful what you say in the future. We now represent the family and our brother-in-law in other places. If you speak like this, you will get into trouble sooner or later."
Hearing the words of the boss, Cheng Yaojin nodded appreciatively. He had to have something in mind. Even though Cheng Yaojin showed no authority outside and was always a bastard, Cheng Yaojin had an extremely careful heart.
, otherwise how could he be called a tumbler in history? He is also the longest-lived among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
"This is also a good thing. Even if I take you two brothers to the front line, when the front line is full of fierce generals, you will definitely be able to make achievements? It is not wrong to let you stay in Chang'an. After all, there must be someone at home to watch.
By staying in Chang'an, you two can not only free up a position for others, but also help him keep an eye on the city of Chang'an."
Regarding Li Xiang's arrangement, Cheng Yaojin certainly understood what was going on. He could lead troops to the front line and lead anyone. After all, Li Xiang was watching from the front line. If someone was not suitable, he could replace him at any time.
But things are different here in Chang'an City. The last time Li Xiang went to Tubo, the situation had not deteriorated so much, so Chang'an City did not need to have too many arrangements. Now Li Xiang has to let Cheng Yaojin watch here.
This son is Cheng Yaojin's right-hand man. It is definitely better to use the two of them than using others. Although you have lost a chance for promotion now, as long as you have a position in Li Xiang's heart, are you still afraid that you will not be able to get there in the future?
The two brothers Cheng Chumo glanced at each other. Although they understood this truth, they were not idle at the martial arts field at home every day. They had developed good skills and wanted to go to the battlefield to make contributions. However, they did not expect that they were kicked by Li Xiang.
After being kicked back, I still have to stay at the nursing home in Chang'an City, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
"Look at the two of you, you two are such bears. Do you really not understand the problem? Those who can look after the home and care for the home are the closest people."
Seeing that his two sons were a little depressed, Cheng Yaojin could only give them a thumbs up. After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, the two of them were indeed in a much better mood. They thought of Fang Xuanling. Every time the emperor came to
When leaving the capital, either Fang Xuanling should stay in the capital, or Changsun Wuji should stay in the capital. These people are the emperor's absolute confidants. We are now guarding the capital for our brother-in-law, and we will definitely be in this position in the future.
"One more thing, is your sister okay?"
Cheng Yaojin suddenly remembered another thing. When Li Xiang came back from Tubo, he put Deji Yangzong here. Now that Li Xiang is preparing to go on an expedition, there must be no fire in the backyard. Cheng Yaojin's little daughter is well-educated and sensible.
We are not from the same group as the three of them, but we should ask those who should ask.
"What's your sister's personality like? Although it was a little uncomfortable at first, I heard the two girls chatting and chatting in the past few days. The place has been sealed and no ordinary men can enter, including
The two of us are there, so we can't go there without passing through."
Cheng Chumo handled things very well. In the past, there was only his sister in the yard, so he could go there if he wanted to. But now that there is a woman named Li Xiang, they all have to avoid suspicion. In the future, she will most likely be the imperial concubine.
, if some tidbits of news get out, the future of the entire old Cheng family will be over.
"You should keep an eye on this matter and make sure nothing goes wrong. Since our whole family has already stood in line, we must stand to the end."
While Cheng Yaojin was talking, he took out a letter from a book with some names on it. Cheng Yaojin cut it into two parts and gave it to his two sons.
"Memorize all these names, and then find a way to get in touch with them within half a month. You don't need to worry about their official positions. You only know that these people have received my favor and asked them to put themselves
All your men are sent out. During the period when Li Xiang is on the expedition, all the troubles in Chang'an City will be brought to you, and you will be reported to me every night."
The letter said very solemnly that when Li Xiang left Chang'an City, Cheng Yaojin would help Li Xiang manage these things, including some matters under Li Xiang, and all of them would be placed with Cheng Yaojin. Li Xiang himself wanted
Please ask Li Chengqian, but then I thought about it, since Li Chengqian lives in the East Palace, many things may be inconvenient, but Cheng Yaojin's place is more convenient.
"yes."
After the two brothers memorized it, they quickly burned the letter and then went out to do things. Cheng Yaojin didn't say the second half, which was a reminder from Li Xiang. This time the emperor was unhappy with the loss.
It was purely because of Li Xiang's coercion.
Li Xiang estimated that during the period of leaving the capital, the emperor would definitely plan the next small move. Of course, Li Xiang didn't know what this small move was. Although he had ordered his men to step up the investigation, the emperor's power was still unknown.
Li Xiang still hasn't investigated how many there are, so he has to let Cheng Yaojin command his men and then keep an eye on the palace. At that time, he can only take advantage of them.
Cheng Yaojin is loyal to Li Shimin, but now it's time to take sides. Although Li Shimin still looks very strong, Li Shimin can only guarantee the wealth of Cheng Yaojin's generation. As for Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang, they must let themselves
To fight hard and choose to side with Li Xiang, this is equivalent to getting on the same boat. In order to save the old Cheng family for generations to come, Cheng Yaojin can only bite the bullet and do it.
In the next few days, Li Xiang was not idle. He did not receive these people in the East Palace. He continued to entertain high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital in heaven and on earth. Some people really had business, and some were just greetings.
After a while, everyone passed by, and this was regarded as an advance review of the next generation of monarchs.
Rewards that deserve rewards, beatings that deserve, opportunities that deserve opportunities, promotions that deserve, and of course... killing that deserve...
