"Your Majesty has ordered that Li Xiang, the governor of Liangzhou, should stay, and the others can withdraw from the court!" Others in the Daqian court looked at the strong man who was about half taller than them.
Especially those from the military general faction looked at Li Xiang as if they were seeing a peerless beauty, with her tall figure and thick arms.
Cultivation is very important, but innate conditions are even more important. Tall stature, long limbs, and stoutness. Such a physique is invincible on the battlefield. Add a little cultivation and a suit of armor, and you will be a top warrior.
"Old Li, your Li Xiang is really..." A man next to the second master of the Li family looked at Li Xiang's figure, thought for a long time and said: "He is really a fierce general. I also have a daughter in my family. If you’re not married yet, how about you and I getting married?”
The second master of the Li family looked at the man and said, "Prime Minister Li has nothing to do with my Li family. If you want to marry him, you can go and talk to him yourself."
After saying this, the second master of the Li family strode away. The man hurriedly caught up, not wanting to miss it. The other civil servants also looked at Li Xiang a few more times before leaving.
Li Xiang is now a butcher in their eyes. They can't urinate together, so why bother talking about him?
Li Xiang waited for a while in the lobby, and a senior eunuch took him to the study.
Soon they came to the study. There were three people in the study, the emperor in a yellow robe, Zhou Hanjie in a red robe, and a man whose whole body was hidden in a black robe.
"Liangzhou Governor Li Xiang has met your Majesty, Prime Minister." Li Xiang put his hands together and bowed forward in salute.
The emperor had seen Prime Minister Li's height in the court. In fact, he was on a high platform, so he was not too shocked. When he got to the study, he looked at Prime Minister Li in front of him. He was really tall!
"Give me a seat!" the emperor said to the eunuch beside him, then turned to Prime Minister Li and said, "How does Aiqing feel about returning to the imperial capital again?"
"The imperial capital remains unchanged." Li Xiang sat on a chair and said, "It was like this when I left, and it will be like this when I came back.
Even though my mother is a little older, when I came back this time, I wanted to take my mother to the northwest to enjoy her happiness."
"Take it to the northwest?" The emperor was a little confused: "Is it okay to stay in the emperor?"
"The imperial capital is very good, but it is too far away from me!" Li Xiang was a little sad: "It may take four or five months to go from the northwest to the imperial capital. I have to guard the northwest, so I really don't have much time to prepare for the imperial capital. Visiting my mother.
So I thought about taking my mother to live in the northwest. Although Jiuyuan County is better than the imperial capital, it is not bad, so I can see her often!"
Zhou Hangjie on the side smiled and said: "Li Shishi, why don't you stay in the imperial capital when you miss your relatives so much? This way you can live with your relatives every day, and the eighth princess can also return to the palace from time to time."
Li Xiang glanced at Zhou Hangjie with a smile. This glance made Zhou Hangjie feel a little chilled, as if he was being targeted by some beast. The body of the man in black next to him was in a tense state.
"The Prime Minister is joking, a man should consider what is important and what is light." Li Xiang said resolutely: "It is extremely dangerous to guard the beast, but why not give up some for the sake of the people behind you?"
"Okay, okay!" The emperor smiled and said: "This Mid-Autumn Festival, does Aiqing have someone to send to the scene?"
"I came in a hurry. There are no talented disciples in the northwest, so I didn't bring anyone with me!"
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, local heroes will bring one or two talents to the stage to win glory for themselves.
Chen Huaihe never thought about this problem, because does Northwest still need one or two disciples to win glory for himself? What is the use of this reputation?
Instead of wasting it, why not quietly be a spectator and take another look at it. Are there any talents worth recruiting?
"Ai Qing is really honest..."
Li Xiang kept chatting with the emperor in the study. In fact, he didn't want to talk at all, but he had no choice but to keep talking.
It was not until the evening when the Golden Crow fell in the west that Prime Minister Li came out of the palace. When he arrived outside the palace, dozens of figures hurriedly left.
The emperor and Zhou Hangjie were the only two people left in the study.
"Prime Minister, how do you feel?" the emperor asked, holding up a cup of tea.
Zhou Hangjie sighed and said: "I can tell that he is a little impatient and he doesn't really like this kind of answer.
But his talent for war is unparalleled."
The emperor looked at the man in black, who said: "Li Cishi is very strong. Judging from the momentum just revealed, he is already on par with the Grandmaster."
"So strong?" The emperor couldn't believe it: "When he went to the northwest, he was just an ordinary person with some boxing and kicking skills. Now he is only six or seven years old, and he has become a master in the past. Even if he has a genius, it is impossible.
You must have built up your cultivation base so quickly."
The man in black said: "This subordinate doesn't know. The power on his body is perfectly controlled and does not belong to inherited power."
There are some strong men in the Eastern world. Before they die, they will pass on all their power to the next generation. The person who receives the teaching will gain all the power of these strong men. Of course, the premise is that you must be able to bear it.
Otherwise, it is very likely that the body will explode and die.
People who control the power of transmission generally cannot control the power as if they have cultivated it themselves within a few decades.
"It seems we don't know him well!" The emperor sighed and said, "Let the Imperial City Secretary do more research."
Within the imperial capital is the world of the two factories, and outside the capital is the world of the Imperial City Division. The only people who can inquire about Prime Minister Li are people from the Imperial City Division.
"Your Majesty the Imperial City Secretary..." Zhou Hengjie was also hesitant, not knowing whether he should say something or not.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhou Hengjie nodded: "Your Majesty, the Imperial City Division is not only your power now, but also has many personal spies. If they are allowed to investigate Prime Minister Li, will Prime Minister Li's secrets also be obtained by him as the prince?
Know?"
The emperor thought for a moment: "Then let Dongchang investigate!"
The Imperial City Department is the most powerful intelligence department in Daqian and is subordinate to the emperor. However, because of the late emperor, the power of the Imperial City Department no longer belongs only to the emperor, but also to the personal guards and some aristocratic families who want to interfere in royal affairs.
Rich family.
"By the way, take a cart back with those things that Li Xiang sent."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
....
After Prime Minister Li came out, he got on the carriage waiting for him and left the imperial city, returning to the princess's residence, which was the residence arranged by the emperor.
"Lord, you are back." As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Zhang Qingyun ran over and whispered: "The old lady just sent someone to bring you a message. She said she misses you!"
Li Xiang paused, his eyes a little moist: "Arrange the carriage for me, and let the princesses prepare it too."
"The carriage has been arranged. I will inform Madam and them right away." Zhang Qingyun quickly ran back to let the carriage come to see the old lady. Not only did he go there, he also needed to bring some gifts. He had already arranged it before me.
Yes, he knew Li Xiang’s character very well.
Inside the house, the princess and others were also prepared early.
Soon, more than a dozen carriages drove out from the princess's mansion, with black-armored Xiliang cavalry escorting them to the left and right. In the Daqian Imperial Capital, as long as you are of sufficient rank, you can lead the journey with escorts.
Zhang Qingyun first sent a few people to the old lady's yard to inform them.
After receiving the news, Zhang Junyue walked around the yard excitedly. She was about to see her son and grandson soon. How could she not be excited?
Li Ya walked around the yard with her mother, listening to the sounds outside from time to time. Her brother would definitely bring a lot of things back when he came back, and his voice would not be quiet.
As long as you hear loud noises, you will know that your brother is back. After all, the place where they live is where the Li family members live.
Tap tap tap!
The crisp sound of horse hooves came from a distance, as well as the rolling sound of carriage wheels. Li Ya looked towards the gate with excitement.
She had heard that her brother brought a cavalry with him when he came back. The sound of horse hooves sounded like cavalry, and the sound of rolling wheels must have been a carriage.
There are also many Tibetan horses in the Li Mansion. Some direct descendants of the family ride horses out to play every day, but those people will not ride their war horses here.
Li Xiang looked at the yard getting closer and closer. He had lived in this place for 19 years and was extremely familiar with every plant and tree here. The people you live here are all people who are not valued in the Li family.
As soon as he reached the door of the courtyard, he saw two figures waiting there. Li Xiang immediately got off his horse and walked over quickly.
Zhang Junyue and Li Ya looked at the extremely tall young man in front of them. Li Xiang had changed a lot. If the face hadn't been very familiar to them, they wouldn't have been sure that this was Li Xiang.
"Brother?" Li Ya was a little unsure.
Zhang Qingyun strode over and knelt in front of his mother: "Mom, I'm back!"
Zhang Junyue touched Li Xiang's face and touched the exaggerated scar on his face. Tears couldn't help but flow down: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
Li Xiang had changed a lot, but the induction of his bloodline made Zhang Junyue clearly know that the person in front of him was his eldest son Li Xiang.
The Eighth Princess, Wu Yating and others got off the carriage. Seeing this scene, they said nothing. It was the first time they saw Li Xiang like this.
Li Xiang hugged his mother tightly. It had been seven years since he had seen his mother. Li Xiang missed his mother extremely.
"Mom, sister-in-law, they are watching from behind!" Li Ya watched for a while, and then looked at the three women standing behind, and the two children in their arms.
Those should be her sisters-in-law, the eighth princess Zhao Qingluan, and Wu Yating, the mother of her two nephews. The youngest looks a bit young.
Hearing Li Ya's words, Zhang Junyue let go of his hand, Li Xiang stood up from the ground and waved behind him, and the Eighth Princess and three others came forward.
Zhang Junyue looked at the two sleeping children in the arms of Wu Yating and Qian Duoduo.
"Mom, these are my three wives!" Li Xiang introduced his three wives with some pride. Zhang Junyue was also prepared. When Li Xiang introduced her, she would give her a bracelet. This bracelet was made by Li Xiang more than ten years ago. Things that are already prepared at birth.
These bracelets are not very valuable, but they represent her feelings and are something she brought from her natal family.
"This is Cheng Qian." When Li Xiang introduced the child, Cheng Qian seemed to hear his name, opened his eyes, and saw Zhang Junyue laughing, and stretching out his two little hands, as if saying he wanted to hug him!
"Mom, Chengqian wants you to hug him!" Wu Yating said happily: "Please give him a hug."
"Yeah!" Zhang Junyue hugged the child carefully: "He is so handsome, much cuter than Xiao Xiang when he was a child!"
Xiaoxiang, when they heard Li Xiang's nickname, the three girls couldn't help but laugh when they looked at Li Xiang's strong figure and thought about this nickname again.
"Mom, I'm old now, don't call me by my nickname anymore!" Li Xiang hugged his daughter and said, "Look, this is your granddaughter. She is much better behaved than your grandson. She is very obedient!"
Zhang Junyue glanced at his granddaughter sleeping peacefully, and then at his grandson who was restless in his arms, and said with a smile: "Boys should be more naughty!"
Li Ya, who had no sense of presence, said: "Mom, brother, let's go in and talk! The neighbors are all coming out!"
Li Xiang looked around and saw that there were quite a lot of people around. He knew most of them, but not very well.
"Qingyun, give some of the gifts I brought to each household!" He turned to Zhang Junyue and said, "Mom, let's go in!"
"Go in, go in!" Zhang Junyue walked into the small courtyard with her grandson in her arms with a smile on her face.
....
"Second Master, Mr. Li is now officially over at Mrs. Zhang's yard!" an old man said to Li Wu, the second master of the Li family and Li Zhen's younger brother.
"How many people did you bring?" Li Wu asked.
The old man said: "There are more than 200 cavalrymen, more than 100 men pulling goods, and more than 500 people are secretly following!"
Li Wu narrowed his eyes and said: "It seems that he was assassinated when entering the city, which made him cautious!"
"Have you found out which party sent the person?" Li Wu's eyes flashed fiercely.
"Sir, he is from the Tian family, but according to the people from the Tian family, their young master was just being used. Originally he just wanted to throw some vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, etc.!"
"But according to our calculations, Mr. Tian should have known that those people had bad intentions, but he still allowed those people to continue. He should have known those people's plans. He was just a pusher. Regardless of success or failure, he would not lose anything.
, the most you can do is get scolded!”
"Master Tian?" Li Wu thought about it carefully: "Is he the one who wants to kill Li Xiang?"
"Yeah!" The old man nodded.
"Send someone to talk to Li Xiang!" A smile flashed across Li Wu's eyes: "I really want to see how Li Xiang copes with it!"
The old man lowered his head: "Yes!"
"Go down! By the way, call Zhengting over here!"
"Yes!" The old man left the room, and after a while a young man walked into the study.
"Second Master!" Li Zhengting bowed respectfully.
"Zhengting, my second uncle has a mission for you!"
"Second Master, please speak!"
Li Wu took a broken long arrow to Li Zhengting and said: "Give this to your eighth uncle!"
"Uncle Eighth?" Li Zhengting thought of the tall figure: "I wonder where Uncle Eighth is now?"
"At your Aunt Li Ya's side, after you give this to him, if he doesn't drive you away, you can follow him!"
Confused, Li Zhengting left the house with a long arrow and walked towards the very lively little yard.
In the distance of the yard, a young man looked at the lively yard with a little jealousy in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared, straightened his clothes, and walked over with a bag of things.
After planning for so long, the most critical moment has finally arrived!
