"If I say that I brought these poor scholars back because I want to find husbands for the older women in the village, would you believe it?"
Li Xuan glanced at Li Chang and said with a smile.
"Looking for a husband for the older girls in the village?"
Hearing this, Li Chang couldn't help but be stunned.
Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, Thaksin!
If other princes, princes, and dignitaries said this, he would not believe it. But his own king, he believed it. Only his own king could do such a thing!
However, I still have some concerns.
"Your Majesty, although these scholars come from humble backgrounds, they are all people of character. If I want them to marry into my Li family, I'm afraid they won't want to!"
Forehead!
Li Xuan's face was startled. He sat up and looked Li Chang up and down. Li Chang was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and checked himself.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with my old servant?"
"Tsk tsk!"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, his face full of teasing.
"Old butler, old butler, I have never seen that you have such big thoughts."
"The old servant is frightened. Why does the king say this?"
Li Chang looked terrified,
"Although those scholars in my family came from a poor family, they are also a family of inheritance. Some of my ancestors have been officials, rich and powerful, and they have been brilliant! You actually want them to marry into my Li family village? Just rely on the people in the village who have just learned to read and judge.
A bookmaker who knows some arithmetic?"
Li Xuan said with a look of helplessness: "In terms of background, talent, and appearance, apart from making more money than those scholars at the moment, the villagers in the village, in what other aspects can they compare with those scholars?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's my servant who overthinks it!"
Li Chang smiled.
"Don't all the bankers in the village have the same thoughts as you?"
Li Xuan asked a little worriedly.
"Reply to your Majesty, even my old servant doesn't know about this!" Li Chang replied.
"It doesn't matter!"
After thinking about it, Li Xuandao said: "I have brought their suitable uncle back to Lijiazhuang, and I have allowed these scholars to wander around the village. If they fail to seize this good opportunity, you cannot blame me!"
"The king is joking, the king is so kind to the bankers, no one dares to blame you!"
Li Chang said quickly.
"Let them be!"
Li Xuan waved his hands indifferently, lay down again, and slowly closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Li Chang slightly arched his hands and prepared to leave.
However, just as he turned around, he remembered something and couldn't help but ask again: "May I ask, Your Majesty, as the commander-in-chief of the army, you returned to Chang'an yesterday, are you going to report to His Majesty today?"
"The army has long been handed over to the leadership of the prince and others. As the general manager of the Yanze Road army, I am in name only, so there is no need to enter the palace to disturb His Majesty!"
Li Xuan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A look of helplessness flashed across Li Chang's face.
Then, he remembered something and asked again: "Then I wonder what arrangements the king has for such scholars, or when he will summon them?"
"There is no rush. Let them get familiar with the affairs of the village for a few days, and then I will have a talk with them." Li Xuandao.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang responded and walked out.
Li Xuan, on the other hand, slowly lay on the sofa, drowsy.
However, before Li Xuan could sleep for long, Li Chang hurriedly walked in again.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
After calling a few times, Li Xuan opened his eyes in displeasure.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty is here!"
Li Chang said quickly.
"His Majesty?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan looked depressed, "Why is he here in such a cold weather?"
However, he still stood up slowly.
"Let's go and meet His Majesty with me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
Li Xuan and Li Chang had just walked out of the room when they saw Li Shimin walking in from the gate of the other courtyard.
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
Li Xuan quickly bowed his hands in greeting.
"Haha, Xuanba, please don't be so polite!"
Li Shimin was obviously very happy to see Li Xuan.
After entering the house, Li Shimin had a look of emotion on his face, and slightly arched his hands towards Li Xuan, saying: "Thanks to Xuanba for being able to capture Tuyuhun so smoothly this time, our territory of the Tang Dynasty has been expanded by thousands of miles!"
"Your Majesty is ridiculous, I am just the commander-in-chief of one of the six armies!"
Li Xuan waved his hand casually, and at the same time took the wine glass that was already slightly warm.
"It's really my fault that I bothered Your Majesty to come to Lijiazhuang in person in such a cold weather. I would like to treat Your Majesty to a glass of hot wine to warm yourself up!"
Li Shimin was startled, but subconsciously picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, before Li Shimin could speak, Li Xuan continued: "I wonder what your Majesty is here for today?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin felt angry!
As the commander-in-chief of the army, after returning from a long expedition, you did not take the initiative to report to him the situation of the army on the front line. When he came to visit in person, you actually asked him what he was doing?
"Xuan Ba, I want to know how Gao Ming, Xiao Gong and others are fighting in Tubo?"
Li Shimin asked slowly.
"Your Majesty, you don't know?"
Li Xuan was shocked.
"Except when Gao Ming sent me a report when we started to conquer Tubo, I have never received a report for so long since then!"
After saying that, Li Shimin looked at Li Xuan.
"Your Majesty, forgive me, I didn't know either!"
Li Xuan slowly shook his head and said.
"You don't know either?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded lightly, "I am guarding Tuyuhun and have not conquered Tubo. If Gao Ming, Xiao Gong and other troops have any military information, they will definitely send it to Chang'an and will not inform me. I don't know how normal it is!"
Li Shimin: "..."
After taking a long breath, he asked again: "How is Gao Ming's performance in the army?"
"It's okay!"
Li Xuan knew this, and was somewhat satisfied with Li Chengqian's performance.
After hearing this, Li Shimin's face finally showed a hint of joy.
"Although Gao Ming first came to the battlefield and saw the cruel scenes on the battlefield, he was a little timid and uncomfortable at first. However, he quickly adapted to it."
Li Xuan said again: "The most important thing is that Gao Ming, as the general manager of the army, although he does not understand military affairs and his martial arts is not that strong. However, he has a very clear understanding of himself. When it comes to the formation of the army,
Generally, we listen to the opinions of lieutenants such as Li Jing and Xiao Gong, this is particularly important!"
Li Shimin: "To be honest, Gao Ming did not make any big mistakes this time!"
"Your Majesty, if you don't make any big mistakes, you will be the best prince!"
Li Xuan couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin and said speechlessly: "Gao Ming is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. He is young and vigorous, but he still leads tens of thousands of elite troops to conquer other countries. He can restrain himself from commanding troops and horses indiscriminately. This is already very good!"
Moreover, he is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the prince of the East Palace. His main task is to recognize people and make good use of them, to listen to other people's suggestions and to govern the world, not to lead troops to fight!"
