Qiao Yunxin immediately expressed his opinion: "I will arrange the manpower, so you don't have to worry about it! The people I brought back are idle now, and they are worried about having nothing to do!"
Qiao Xin nodded and agreed: "Alright, you can arrange your own accommodation, and for food, transfer a few chefs from your wife's shop to cook something sumptuous. We can't save money on this."
"My son knows!"
Xu held Qiao Xin's arm, happy like a child, and said rapidly, "Mother, my husband is back. If you have anything to do, just let him know so you don't have to go there in person.
You've been gone for a month or two, and your wife is worried all day. Next time you go on a long trip, take your wife with you."
"Okay, let him take care of it. We can relax a little bit! Your second brother is almost stable now. The eldest and the third brother are by my side. Why should I go out? I'll let you guys handle the work in the future. We can enjoy a peaceful life."
"Why!"
People are in high spirits when good things happen. Seeing that her two major backers are by her side, Xu feels full of energy when working.
Even the diners who came to the shop to eat noticed that there was a lot more meat in the food today.
The new diners couldn't help but ask, what happy event had happened to the proprietress?
The waiter who served the food explained with a smile: "Our general and old lady are back, the boss is very happy, and now that he is happy, won't everyone be able to enjoy the food?"
"Oh, that's really great news. Congratulations to the boss and his family for being reunited!"
While answering, the second brother did not forget to attract customers for the house.
"Congratulations, congratulations, sir! Enjoy your meal and drink! If you are satisfied, please come more often in the future!"
"Based on your attitude, I will definitely come back when I have time in the future!"
Qiao Xin already knew about Qiao Yunxin's return, but was surprised that he wanted to resign.
"You are still young, why do you want to resign? I am not old yet. Look, I have Nanny Qin and Steward Cao by my side, so you don't have to stay at home to serve me. If you don't go out and try your luck when you are young, I am afraid you will regret it in the future."
"My son has thought it through. It is only reasonable for me to be the only one left among the three of us brothers."
"Are you worried that His Majesty will be wary of the Qiao Mansion and the Dingbian Marquis Mansion after your background is made public? If this is the reason, then it won't be too late to resign after a few years!"
"For these reasons, whether we return to the Marquis' Mansion or not, it is a big taboo for the three of us, father and son, to share military power.
In the future, when my son's background is widely known and he is in a high position, if someone tries to sow discord between them, I am afraid that the whole family will be executed."
"I revealed your background to His Majesty when I first met him. There is no such thing as a crime of deceiving the emperor."
"Mother, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?"
"Ignorance is not a crime. There is nothing to hide. Do you think His Majesty's envoys will not investigate if we don't tell them? It would be better for us to tell the truth from the beginning, so that we can leave a good impression of sincerity to His Majesty. I guess His Majesty did not agree to your request?"
Qiao Yunxin nodded helplessly: "Yes! Your Majesty has given my son a month's home leave. The resignation is on hold for now. I don't know how to arrange for my son in the future!"
Qiao Xin lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, as long as you haven't made any serious mistakes, you can't resign from this position for now.
Emperor Wu was a man of great talent and strategy, so how could he not have the ambition to unify the world? Someone like you who is good at fighting, doesn't cause trouble, and has a simple background is easier to control than a child of an aristocratic family. How could he let go easily?
But then again, who in this world doesn't learn literary and martial arts and sell themselves to the emperor?
You used the power given by His Majesty to protect the safety of your family, and His Majesty used your ability to fulfill his wish. Isn't it a good story that the monarch and his subjects achieve each other?"
"But mother, how can I allow others to snore under my bed? The higher my son stands, the less His Majesty can tolerate me!
Besides, my son really doesn’t like officialdom. He is fine with being straightforward on the battlefield, but he thinks he can’t handle the intrigues and deceptions in officialdom.”
"It has not come to that yet. Above you is General Fan Boqing, to the south is the Li family navy, to the east is the Wu family army, and to the northwest is your Heng family father and son. Which one of them is not more powerful than you and commands a large army? His Majesty is willing to cultivate you, which is both a good thing and a bad thing!
Our Qiao family will become richer and richer in the future. Without the protection of military power, what do you think is the difference between us and the common people who hold gold ingots and flaunt themselves on the streets? The world will be reshuffled in less than 20 years. What will our Qiao family do then?
As for the officialdom, you can create a straightforward and unpretentious personality to protect yourself. You should think about it carefully. "
Qiao Yunxin was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought it was just a simple resignation, but it turned out there were so many complications. He had thought things were too simple!
Forget it, now that I'm back, I'll just take good care of my mother, coax my wife, and take care of the children!
The soldiers who accompanied him found that the general, who was so powerful on the battlefield, returned to his old house and still had to chop wood and feed horses, and was ordered around by his mother and wife.
But their great general, unaware that his own dignity had already been shattered, was running around happily, and even his personal guards couldn't bear to look at him.
When the personal attendant reminded the general to pay attention to his image in front of others, Qiao Yunxin retorted nonchalantly.
"You know shit. Without my mother and my wife, would I be where I am today? You are dreaming!
We were on the battlefield, with our heads hanging on our shoulders. We could die at any time, but they supported us at home.
I already owe my mother and wife too much, and now I come home and act like a boss and let them serve me. That's really a sin.
This is my character, and I don't plan to change it in this lifetime. If you think I'm losing face by doing this, then you'd better not be in the same team with me!"
Qiao Yunxin's words made his originally smiling subordinates fall silent!
The next day, when he went up the mountain to chop wood again, he found that the people around him were more hardworking than him and were eager to work!
Qiao Xin couldn't help but take a look at her eldest son. Who said that his eldest son was a fool? How could a fool lead an army?
People don't need any scheming or tricks, it is enough to treat their subordinates with a sincere attitude. Military generals are straightforward people.
For people like them, sincerity is the ultimate weapon!
