After listening to Changsun Wuji's words, Li Xiang's face was full of questions. It was not like he had never experienced similar scenes in the past. Basically, he had to rest at home for a while. Now the emperor directly announced that he had entered the palace. Could there be something else going on here?
Is it something?
"I'd better ride back on horseback. I've been on the battlefield for a long time, and I'm really not used to this thing. Besides, it belongs to the emperor's grandfather. It would be disrespectful for me to ride on it."
Li Xiang did not walk over, but got on his horse again. Changsun Wuji also heard all this in the sedan chair and nodded silently.
Although this is a gift from the emperor, it is indeed a bit excessive. If Li Xiang goes up like this, then this may be used as a handle. No one will say it for the time being, but after a long time, someone will say it.
Come out, if some people continue to spread rumors, it is very likely that Li Xiang will force Li Shimin, or else Li Xiang will be overwhelmed. Anyway, there are all kinds of things waiting for him.
"The Emperor is dissatisfied with the affairs of the Beiting Protector. He has become angry several times in the past few days. You should be careful when you go there."
Li Xianghu heard Changsun Wuji say a few words next to Changsun Wuji's sedan, and then the curtain of the sedan was lowered. Li Xiang knew what was going on. He didn't expect that it had been two months.
Time has passed, why are you still so angry?
Speaking of which, we can't blame Li Shimin. Li Shimin suffered a loss due to King Wu's incident, and now that Li Xiang's brother is here, Li Shimin suffered a loss again. He fell off his horse both times. How could such a coincidence happen?
?Even if you are looking for a reason, you still have to be thoughtful.
Not only the court ministers, but also the common people were talking about it. Li Xiang already controlled some of the civil mouthpieces, but regarding these people in Chang'an City, Li Xiang really had no way to control them, mainly the three religions and nine streams in Chang'an City.
There are too many, and behind everyone is a sky.
Take this incident as an example. Some people say that it was really a fall from a horse.
Some people say that he is going against the emperor. Although His Highness Taisun has made countless meritorious deeds, just by going against his grandfather, all the merits can be wiped out. There is nothing to say about unfilial piety.
Some people say that the emperor is old and confused. Nowadays, the world is dominated by young people. Li Xiang is in charge of everything outside, so the emperor cannot just appoint anyone there. How old is the second young master of the East Palace? He has that
Can Neng Nai manage the grasslands in the north? If nothing happens, it will be fine, but if something does happen, it will have a great impact on Datang.
Li Xiang finally captured the northern grasslands, which means that the northern grasslands no longer pose a threat to us. The last time such a feat occurred was during the Han Dynasty. In the more than two hundred years since the Han Dynasty, the northern grasslands have
There has been no major war in the grasslands. Isn't this the credit of Beijing's grasslands?
If the doll in the East Palace loses the grassland, or something happens during the operation, who can bear this responsibility for me? This is a matter for the entire nation, not a problem for one or two families.
.
Generally speaking, the public opinion in Chang'an City is still on Li Xiang's side. After all, Li Xiang's achievements are real. If he only had lip service, there probably wouldn't be so many people standing in front of him.
When Li Xiang entered the city, both sides of the street were quiet. Chang'an City was still as prosperous as before, but no one knew that Li Xiang was back, so there was no decent welcome ceremony.
"Your Highness...are you really back?"
As soon as Li Xiang entered the city, a small school guard nearby recognized Li Xiang.
This man once followed Li Xiang in his expedition to Tuyuhun, but he had to withdraw from the army because of his physical trauma. However, he had no other skills except being a soldier. With Li Xiang's help, he arrived in Chang'an City.
The city defense army is now guarding this city gate.
Before Li Xiang could answer his words, several soldiers nearby looked over, including some vendors nearby.
"Ouch, who is this if not His Highness?"
An aunt probably met Li Xiang before. When his voice came out, hundreds of people around heard it. In the entire Chang'an City, there are many people who can be called His Highness, and they may be called Taisun.
Your Highness's, I'm afraid there's only one in front of you.
"I have met His Highness Taisun..."
The first person to kneel was the one who knelt down. Immediately, a lot of people knelt on the road. People from far away were also attracted. Everyone has received great care during this period, especially those from the northern grasslands.
The goods that came over were simply much cheaper than before, and all the traders felt that their business was easier.
In addition, the tense labor situation in Chang'an City has also been alleviated. More than 80,000 people have been transported back from Goguryeo. These more than 80,000 people can just give you a mouthful of food. They will continue to work for you at other times, which is also true.
It is because of the actions of these people that the entire city of Chang'an has been given a new look. Repairs that need to be repaired and things that need to be replaced are replaced. Anyway, we have a lot of free labor on hand.
All of this was brought about by Li Xiang. Of course, the most important thing was Goguryeo's immigration policy. Almost every household in Chang'an had a child. The main reason was because he couldn't survive here, so he had to go to other places to seek employment.
Life, if it weren't for Li Xiang's settlement policy, these people would still be poor when they got there.
But now every household has received letters from relatives. Not only has it been allocated a house in the local area, but it has also been assigned several people to help with work. These people do not need to give them any money, they only need to ensure that these people have food.
According to what their relatives said, when the grain harvest comes, every household will be able to send back grain. In short, the food problem is solved.
Changsun Wuji was quickly shocked by the phenomenon before him, because more and more people were running out of the surroundings. They had clearly chosen a street with few people. Even if someone recognized them, there would not be too many people.
Many people.
But at this moment, there were more than one or two thousand people on the street, and Li Xiang's guards were already a little nervous. Where did these people come from? The entire street was empty just now.
"Your Highness Taisun, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."
It can be said that similar titles are heard endlessly. Not only Changsun Wuji was a little surprised, but also some officials passing by were surprised. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world...
