After doing this, Wei Chi Baolin reported the situation on the road again, although the officials everywhere can't be said to be good, but basically they are all passing, mainly because of the continuous war in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, these officials don't have time to think about their little Jiujiu, most of the time to saddle up for the imperial army, originally some officials who are not very qualified, at this time some mistakes have been covered up.

For the officialdom of the Zhenguan period, Li Xiang still did a systematic investigation, and the officials in this era were still relatively honest, mainly because the Tang Dynasty had just been established, even if they wanted to reach out, the economy of various places had not yet developed, and there was really corruption and corruption, which was still in the last years of Zhenguan.

"However, Your Highness, along the way, I still found some other problems, that is, among the officials in various places, ......"

When Yu Chi Baolin said this, he suddenly saw Lord Zhao next to him, and swallowed the rest of his words into his stomach, Li Xiang also knew that there would definitely be a lot of things that could not be said, although Lord Zhao was a good person, and he was also loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but after all, he was not a person on the foundation of Li Xiang.

"You just take care of your own affairs, after coming to the northwest this time, I will hand over the defense of the surrounding area to you first, originally this is all Niu Jinda's business, but Niu Jinda followed His Royal Highness the Prince into the Western Regions, originally I wanted to transfer Su Dingfang over, but Su Dingfang must be stationed in the capital of Gaochang, there are also some unstable things there, you take advantage of this time to get familiar with it."

Li Xiang found an excuse and gave it over, Yu Chi Baolin naturally had no problem speaking, and then went out to do something, Lord Zhao was also smiling just now, and he didn't say a word in his heart, but he was ready to say this matter, as an old man in the court, of course he knew what Yu Chi Baolin had discovered.

"If Your Highness has nothing else to do today, why don't you and me have a few drinks?"

To Li Xiang's surprise, Lord Zhao, who usually doesn't drink much, actually offered to drink today, although it is not time to eat, but it is rare for Lord Zhao to have such leisure and leisure, Li Xiang is naturally accompanied.

If it were replaced by other princes, the emperor and grandson, Lord Zhao would not make such a request, because this kind of request is obviously very excessive, you want to drink and want the prince and grandson to accompany you, what do you think in your heart? Don't you want your head anymore?

But Li Xiang has not been in the Western Regions for a short time, Lord Zhao has also observed it during this time, Li Xiang does not have too high requirements for these cumbersome etiquette, as long as he recognizes you in his heart, then even if you make some requests, Li Xiang will gladly allow it, but if you can't identify it, then in front of you is the noble Imperial Highness, don't think about mentioning some useless things.

"It's rare for adults to have such a Yaxing today, so I'll let someone pass on a table of wine."

Although the roast mutton in the Western Regions is delicious, it is the kind of newcomer that Yu Chi Baolin is willing to eat, and he has been here for a long time, so he still likes some of the dishes in our mainland, fortunately, Li Xiang came with a cook, if he didn't bring it, if he wanted to eat such a table of authentic Chang'an cuisine, then I don't know when.

Some ministers of the imperial court also said that Li Xiang was greedy for enjoyment, and when he went to the Western Regions, he even had to take his own cooks with him, was this to go to war?

After Li Shimin received such a setback, he directly ignored it, if he even went to trouble Li Xiang for such a trivial matter, then how could he be in the mood to deal with major matters on the front line? What Li Shimin wants now is to include the Western Regions in his ruling territory, which is the current big thing, and as for this kind of trivial matter, now is not the time to talk about it.

In less than a stick of incense, a table of wine and food has been delivered, these people have nothing to do in the barracks every day, in order to wait for Li Xiang's call, and now Li Xiang is going to drink, so naturally he took out his ability to get a table of wine and food for Li Xiang.

"Adults have never been good at drinking, today is already three glasses in a row, if there is anything you might as well say it directly, we have been together for a long time, although I am in contact with adults for the first time, but I also know that adults are loyal to my Datang."

didn't say a word, the two of them had already toasted three glasses in a row, even if Li Xiang's alcohol was better, he also felt a little upset at this time, Lord Zhao's face was already flushed at the moment, usually Lord Zhao's alcohol consumption was not high, but today he drank three glasses of wine in a row, you can imagine how important the things about to say are.

"Does Your Highness know my origins?"

Lord Zhao did not answer Li Xiang's question, but raised another question, when Lord Zhao said this, a lot of information appeared in Li Xiang's mind, this Lord Zhao is not an ordinary person, that is also a famous family, Lord Zhao is from the Tianshui Zhao family.

When Li Xiang first came to this world, all eyes were focused on the five surnames and seven wangs, which were also the top families in the entire Tang Dynasty, but it did not mean that there were no other famous families in other regions, such as Lord Zhao's Tianshui Zhao family, which was also very strong in the local area.

"If this king remembers correctly, Lord Zhao should be from the Tianshui Zhao clan."

Li Xiang didn't know what Lord Zhao was talking about, so he could only say what he knew in his heart, could it be that he was involved in the battle of famous families?

"Your Highness is right, the old man is indeed from Tianshui, Your Highness can know why the general didn't say the rest in front of the old man just now?"

When Lord Zhao said this, Li Xiang instantly understood, Wei Chi Baolin didn't finish his words just now, it should involve these famous families, otherwise, according to the relationship between the two, what else can't be said?

"Your Royal Highness, General Wei Chi has come all the way, if the old man is not mistaken, a large number of officials he saw are from famous families, although the imperial court has set up the imperial examination, but the children of the poor family still have no hope of coming out, most of them can only be a small official or a lifetime in the official position assigned at the beginning."

Lord Zhao took another sip of wine, and when he finished drinking this wine, Lord Zhao also exhaled a breath, these words have been suffocated in his heart for many years, and he should also say what should be said while he is drinking today.
