The third brother looked at those pitiful women crying, and his heart was overwhelmed with compassion, so he took everyone with him.
He was so worried along the way that he was scared and didn't dare to say a word to those women, for fear that he wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly when he got back and his wife would scratch him to death.
Xiao Yunzhan's mouth twitched twice and he looked at Xiao Yunchao.
"Third brother, why did you bring so many women back?"
"What? Are you going to lead a women's army too?"
He had seen those women, each one of them was weak and frail, and could not compare to the female soldiers led by his second and third sisters-in-law.
Moreover, when those women saw him, their eyes lit up, and he was so scared that he quickly returned to the palace.
He is Ranran, but he can't let other women defile him.
"What women's army?" Xiao Yunchao smiled without taking it seriously.
"Those women are unloved by their parents and no one wants them."
"If I just stand by and watch, they'll just end up in those filthy places."
"There are so many bachelors in our Tianshen Army. I'll bring back more women and arrange marriages for them. Wouldn't that solve the marriage problem for the soldiers?"
What Xiao Yunchao said was as natural as it should be.
"Those women don't have a home. I'll just arrange a home for them. They'll be so happy!"
He saw the families of those women and found that none of them were reliable. They all relied on selling their daughters to supplement their family income.
Even if he gave them money, it would be useless. As soon as he left, the women's families would have to sell them.
Thinking that due to the drought, there are more men than women in the Heavenly God Army, and there are many men who are short of wives, it would be better to bring these women back and marry them to the soldiers of the Heavenly God Army.
Even so, he still felt that what he brought back was too little. If his second brother hadn't stopped him, he would have brought back at least two or three hundred women.
There are only a little over a hundred of them, which is a drop in the bucket and won't be of much use.
Xiao Yunyou looked at Xiao Yunchao in shock.
"No, you've always been happy to be a hero saving the damsel in distress, so this is why?"
Oh my God, it turns out he was too narrow-minded. My third brother is really kind.
Even when he went out for inspection, he was still concerned about the lifelong affairs of his soldiers. He is worthy of being the King of Zhennan and is very outstanding.
"What else?!" Xiao Yunchao looked at Xiao Yunyou with a squint and raised eyebrows.
He is not tired of living, so why would he have thoughts about other women?
Xiao Yunzhan pulled the corner of his lips, raised his hand to touch his nose awkwardly, cleared his throat and said,
"Third brother, hurry up and marry those women off, otherwise it will be hard to explain when Third Sister-in-law comes back."
It's not like he didn't see the way those women looked at his third brother. They almost wanted to eat him alive.
If you stay too long, misunderstandings are likely to occur.
"Third brother, don't go and tell those women yourself. Just arrange for the maids in the palace to go."
Third Brother is a soft-hearted person. If those women are unwilling, they will cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide in front of Third Brother, which will be a troublesome matter.
The old maids in the palace have seen all kinds of people and can suppress those women with their aura.
"Okay." Xiao Yunchao nodded. "I don't really understand this matter either. I'll just let the maids take care of it and make the arrangements."
Those women were so noisy that it gave him a headache, so it was just as well that he didn't have to make any arrangements.
He is not a matchmaker, and he doesn't know which women are suitable for each other.
Xiao Yunyou pursed his lips and smiled, feeling relieved.
Looking at these women made him so worried, as long as his third brother didn't like them, it would be fine.
The Xiao family has no precedent of taking concubines. If my third brother dares to think about this, he will be beaten to death by my mother.
"Fourth brother." Xiao Yunyou looked at Xiao Yunzhan.
"I guess your second and third sisters-in-law should be back in a few days."
"After they come back, my third brother and I will take them to support my fourth brother and his wife."
The Xiao family still has a good reputation in Yongchang State.
After a round of inspection, I didn't encounter any major trouble.
He thought it would take at least two or three months to complete the inspection, but he didn't expect it to be done in just over a month.
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and his fourth brother's wife and eldest brother are too lonely, so he wants to go over and keep them company.
The eldest sister-in-law was probably also very worried about the eldest brother. When passing by Guangfeng City, he talked to the eldest sister-in-law to comfort her.
After all, the elder sister-in-law is pregnant and it is inconvenient for her to travel, so he, as the younger brother, will take care of the elder brother on her behalf.
"Right, right, right." Xiao Yunchao nodded, "I can also set off with my second brother now, wait for my second sister-in-law and wife to come back, and let them catch up on their own."
If he didn't need to come back to report the situation and send those women back, he wouldn't want to go back to Beijing. After the inspection, he would rush directly to Xiliang Kingdom.
He didn't know which city his elder brother had captured, but he couldn't help but get excited when he thought about his elder brother leading his troops straight to the imperial city of Xiliang.
The Xiao family has been stationed at the border for so many years, and they have finally avenged their previous humiliation.
The corners of Xiao Yunzhan's slightly raised mouth gradually sank.
"Second brother, your martial arts skills are the weakest. I think you should be the regent, and third brother and I will go to Xiliang together."
"The Yongchang Kingdom's treasury is now full, with no shortage of food, fodder, or money. Everything is going smoothly. With my father and General Bai guarding the south, nothing serious will happen."
"Second brother is very resourceful. Those ministers will only behave themselves if they are disciplined by him."
Xiao Yunzhan didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that his second brother would interrupt him.
He really wanted to see Ranran so much that he didn't want to sit on the dragon throne for even a single day.
During this period, he deceived his mother into governing the country every day.
As a result, my mother threatened him that if he mentioned this matter again, she would take her two granddaughters to find Ranran.
This frightened him so much that he dared not say anything more.
If his mother took his two nieces and left the palace, he would be left alone.
There is only one person in such a huge palace. It would be strange if all the civil and military officials were not tempted.
With his mother in charge of the palace, all the civil and military officials who wanted to get someone close to him would ask their wives to go to the empress dowager to sound out the situation.
Mother likes Ranran so much, how could she let those officials’ wives force people in?
Every time someone came, my mother would send him away. During this period, there were fewer people who wanted to force people into the palace.
As long as his mother doesn't give in, these people won't dare to ask him.
If you ask him about it, he won't be as polite as his mother, and a lot of officials will be sent back to their hometowns.
These officials are just too idle to think of ways to make life better for the people. All they do is keep an eye on the harem every day.
Xiao Yunyou was startled, twitched his lips twice, and waved his hands repeatedly.
"That's impossible. I only studied military tactics. I'm good at fighting wars, but not at governing a country."
"Besides, I think you, Fourth Brother, have governed Yongchang State very well. All the officials listen to you. It would be inappropriate to change people at this time."
"You have only been on the throne for a short time. It is not right for you to abandon the country. Please hold on a little longer."
"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Yunchao echoed.
"The New Year is coming soon, and you, the Emperor, will have to preside over the New Year ceremonies and other events. This is your first year on the throne, so you must take it very seriously."
"I see that the Ministry of Rites has been very busy recently, and the Weaving Bureau is also very busy. It would not be appropriate for you to leave."
