ALL NOVEL Chapter 1576: Women's Worries
"Your Highness has too many worries. Now that you are back from the front line, you should take a good rest. If you continue to worry about these things, Your Highness should also take care of your health."
Hearing Cheng Luan's words, Li Xiang looked at his wife in a strange way. When he just came back yesterday, Li Xiang could clearly feel that this girl should be very happy. After all, the two met, but from the sound today, what happened again?
"What's wrong with you? Am I not back? It's normal to worry about official duties. You can't do nothing after coming back. If you lie here in the sun every day, those people outside will talk nonsense."
Li Xiang looked at the table. Breakfast was ready. Although the living habits in the Western Regions are different from those in the mainland, for people at Li Xiang's level, even if he wants to have a Jiangnan breakfast, the people below will prepare it well. A breakfast only costs a few dollars, not to mention that the current Datang is very strong. Even if Li Xiang spends money himself, he can't lose his stomach.
Cheng Luan was also hesitant to speak, and Li Xiang understood at a glance that it should be Cheng Chuliang's matter.
Her husband had returned from the front line, which was a very happy thing. The two could spend time together again, and they didn't have to worry about her husband's safety. Although she had been staying in the camp at the front line, and there were many people protecting her, it was still dangerous after all.
No matter what those guards said, it was better to stay by her side and feel at ease. Now she could grab her husband with just one hand, and she felt so relieved.
This trace of worry was of course because of her brother.
With hundreds of thousands of troops going out, her brother was also a local hero, so there was no need to worry about safety. If something still happened under the protection of tens of thousands of troops, it could only be a bad fortune, after all, the probability of that was too small.
Now my brother has only 5,000 men around him, and the opponent is the Arab Empire. Cheng Luan has been in the Tiance General's Mansion for a long time, and he knows how powerful the Arab Empire is. If it is surrounded, your 5,000 men are not enough. Thinking that Cheng Chuliang has just added a son, he has not met his father yet. If something like this happens, how can he go back and explain to his parents?
But this can't be said. Cheng Chuliang leads the army alone, which is also what he fought for, and he is very willing. Who doesn't want to make achievements on the battlefield? But it's his family who is embarrassed. In Cheng Luan's view, the current Tang Dynasty has plenty of land, why do we need these barren lands?
Of course, Cheng Luan didn't dare to say this, because it represents Li Xiang's grand ambitions. If you, as a daughter-in-law, don't support him, how can you let others support him? The court officials must have many complaints, so Cheng Luan must not show any of them, otherwise this might be a place for others to attack Li Xiang. Your wife doesn't support you, why should we support you?
After Li Xiang figured out these things, he didn't blame his wife. Even if she was Cheng Yaojin's daughter, she was still a woman. As long as she was a woman, she couldn't avoid having long hair and short knowledge.
Not to mention his wife, let alone some famous officials in the court, do you think they can understand Li Xiang's thoughts? The reason why Li Xiang attacked the Arab Empire was nothing more than for their underground oil. We don't need it now, but will we need it in the future? If we want to avoid being trapped by energy, we must now build a great empire spanning Asia, Europe and Africa.
"Look, what do you have to worry about? Is your brother a little brat on the battlefield? He has been with his father-in-law on the battlefield for many years. Although the Western Regions are more dangerous, the 5,000 men under his command are the elite of our Tang Dynasty. Even if they can't make military achievements, they can still escape back."
Looking at his wife's sad look, Li Xiang also understood that this was normal. After all, this was her brother, and now his life and death were uncertain on the battlefield. If it were me, I would probably be worried too. This is all because of blood.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness, I..."
According to some traditions of this era, married girls should be devoted to their husbands' families, and put their natal family affairs aside. If they make their husbands worried because of their natal family affairs, they may be disliked by their husbands' families. Now Cheng Luan is a little scared. Li Xiang is not the only woman, and there are many people who are more virtuous than him.
But think about it, Li Xiang is right, my brother is not a rookie, but has been training on the battlefield with his father for many years, and has been fighting in the Western Regions, and has won many victories. If he can't even handle such a small matter, then he will be unworthy of the title of the court.
Moreover, after Li Chengyi and Chang Sunze came back, Cheng Luan also heard the complaints from them. They also wanted to make achievements on the battlefield. Since everyone wanted to do it, it meant that the danger of this matter was not great. It was a little bit hard, but for the sake of the descendants of the old Cheng family, it was normal to do something now. After thinking about these things, Cheng Luan's face was not so sad.
Breakfast here had just been finished, and Xiao Shougui had already come over with his instructions. Looking at this guy's two big dark circles, Li Xiang knew that this guy probably hadn't slept for a whole night. Just thinking about moving the Goguryeo people over.
"Mount Taishan was not built in a day, nor was the city of Chang'an built in a day. You are already such a big man, and you can't let your grandfather worry about things all the time. Some things are not urgent for a while. Even if you bring them over tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Is it possible that I still need to find someone to pursue you?"
Li Xiang asked the maid to bring him a bowl of porridge and asked Xiao Shougui to have breakfast with him. Li Xiang didn't have so many rules. If it were placed elsewhere and you could have breakfast with His Highness, it might become a family affair. A person's most glorious moment, but for Xiao Shougui, such moments often happen, but he just doesn't go out to show off.
Of course, it's not because of his status as a distinguished disciple, but because Li Xiang is so approachable, especially when facing his subordinates, he is almost like a brother. (End of chapter)
