Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2905 Pioneer Candidates

His Majesty Li Er also trimmed his beard, and the three long beards were black and smooth, floating under his jaw, and he stroked them gently with his hands, very chic.

Dressed in a blue straight gown, the simplicity and simplicity lacked a bit of domineering arrogance, but added a bit more of a handsome and timeless fairy style...

Fang Jun, who was sitting by the side, was amazed, and wondered in his heart, the emperor must have taken too many drugs, right?Actually really brought a bit of fairy air.

As if aware of something, His Majesty Li Er, who was kneeling on the ground mat, stroked his beard, raised his eyes and glanced around, and met Fang Jun's eyes looking at him, and immediately became angry, and gave Fang Jun a hard look.

Fortunately, there are a few ministers here, considering saving some face for this guy, otherwise they can rush up and kick a few times...

Looking at each other, Fang Jun panicked, and quickly lowered his head in a quail shape.

For some reason, although His Majesty Li Er didn't say anything, Fang Jun always felt that His Majesty Li Er looked at him with murderous eyes... It would be impossible to kill him, but looking at his expression, he was obviously unhappy with himself It won't be long, and a hard beating is probably imminent.

Where did I offend His Majesty the Emperor again?

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't understand it, so I had to sit obediently by the side without saying a word, trying not to attract His Majesty Li Er's attention, so as not to cause trouble to my upper body.

His Majesty Li Er was annoyed in his heart and ran to Princess Jinyang's bedroom on the day of the Dachaohui. He said that Princess Jinyang was young and ignorant, and he couldn't think of the rumors that might be caused. You look like a handsome man, can't you think of it?
The more he looked at this guy, the more angry he became, so he turned his eyes away from Fang Jun and looked at the group of ministers in front of him.

Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Liu Ji, Ma Zhou, Li Daozong... looked at it, and it was a bit embarrassing.This is almost a representative of the officials in the court, among which the nobles of Guanlong are still so downcast that only Changsun Wuji is qualified to sit in front of him with these people.

The Guanlong nobleman was like a sharp sword hanging over his head all the time, it could fall down and stab him anytime and anywhere. Now that he was down to this point, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Just thinking about it a little deeper, among so many people, only Changsun Wuji, who he spared no effort to suppress, stood firmly behind King Jin. The idea is actually half dead.

Unless he uses the power of the king to forcibly depose the prince and support the king of Jin to take the throne, if he goes with the natural flow of popularity and competes, the king of Jin does not have much chance of winning.

The will of the emperor seems to be unable to do whatever he wants...

His Majesty Li Er showed a smile and said warmly: "Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, all my loves have devoted themselves to the various affairs of the Eastern Expedition. I am deeply gratified and also quite emotional. You fight in the battlefield, fight in life and death, and you have today's beautiful country, peace and security. Now, we are no longer young, afraid that we will not be able to ride horses, carry knives, or kill thieves, but we still do not forget our original aspirations. Even if you are old and weak, you are still conscientious. For the sake of the prosperity of the empire and the peace of your children and grandchildren, you have decided to go to the east! It is my honor to work with you. In order to cut off the hidden dangers in the northeast of the empire, this battle must be won. If you win and return, then I and you will go to Yuanqiu to worship God and tell the world, it will be a great cause that will last forever! We should encourage you all.”

Circular Mound is the place where the ancient emperors worshiped the sky during the winter solstice. "Zhou Rituals Chunguan Da Si Yue" said: "Winter solstice, play it on the Circular Mound on the ground."

His Majesty Li Er's words are aimed at defeating Goguryeo before the winter solstice, returning to the court after victory, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and proclaiming the prosperity of Tang Wuxun to the first ancestor of China!
The speech made everyone present excited.

It is already successful and famous, safe as a rock, but who can not yearn for such unprecedented achievements?Just think about including Goguryeo in the territory of the Tang Dynasty after the capture of Goguryeo, and then take this meritorious deed to go to the Circular Mound to sacrifice to God and announce it to the world.
Looking at the current dynasty, only Li Jing, Li Ji, and Fang Jun's outstanding achievements can be compared.

All the ministers knelt down on the ground mat, bowed down and saluted, and said in unison: "I am willing to follow His Majesty, to do my best, and to die after myself!"

Morale is high.

His Majesty Li Er has experienced many battles and is the number one commander in the world. He naturally knows how to boost morale and is very satisfied when he sees this.

In the current national war, not only the soldiers on the front line must have high morale and not be afraid to fight to the death, but also the officials in Chang'an and on all fronts must unite as one, so that they can completely conquer Goguryeo, which the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty failed to conquer. carry.

The form of war has undergone countless changes from the ancient Yin and Shang Dynasties to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and now to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Today's war is no longer about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, let alone the bravery of one person and one journey. The competition of a country's comprehensive national strength.

Especially in national battles like the Eastern Expedition, the fight is the logistics of the two armies.

If the logistics cannot keep up due to various reasons, no matter how brave the soldiers on the front line are, no matter how correct the tactics of the generals, no matter how well-equipped ordnance, they may not be able to win the final victory.

After boosting morale, the next step is to discuss the strategy of the Eastern Expedition.

Although the Military Aircraft Office was set up before, His Majesty Li Er regarded it more as an institution to control the army in Chang'an after his royal conquest, and to restrain the prince.Right now, it is about the grand plan of the Eastern Expedition, so it is natural to recruit all the people you can trust to come forward and brainstorm.

He looked at the prime ministers in front of him, and after serving the tea inside, Wang De took all the idlers away, and then guarded the door himself, then raised his hand to signal everyone to drink tea, and then asked: "For the vanguard of the Eastern Expedition, do you have any suggestions?"

All the ministers drank tea in a "swinging and rolling" manner, but they were all silent.

It's not that there is no suitable candidate in mind, but that they are waiting for others to come forward first.Their respective interests are different, their viewpoints are naturally different, and the suitable candidates in their minds are naturally different. The vanguard of an army is of course a heavy responsibility, but once it can be invincible, the merit will naturally be the greatest.

Who doesn't want one of their own to be the vanguard of the army?
So whoever stands out first will become the target of public criticism...

His Majesty Li Er was not angry when he saw the silence on the scene, picked up his teacup, and took a shallow sip.

As an emperor, how could he not understand the thoughts of these people?Because of the existence of aristocratic families, the ministers above the court naturally have their own camps, fighting for power and profit for their own interests, but seldom proceed from the interests of the empire, and they will take their own interests into account.

Therefore, if a country wants to be united as one, civil servants and military generals are all public, they must cut off the boundaries of the family, otherwise everyone only seeks self-interest, who will take the empire at heart?
His Majesty Li Er put down his teacup, looked at the crowd, then pointed to Fang Jun and said, "Since everyone has no idea for a while, then Fang Jun, you should talk about your opinion first, and throw bricks to attract jade."

Fang Jun thought to himself why my idea is to throw bricks to attract jade?

Then he said humbly: "Your Majesty has learned that I have little experience and little knowledge. Before Your Majesty, you are all the pillars of the court. How dare I speak on such important national affairs? Please forgive me, Your Majesty. There is no one to choose."

Xue Wanche has been in Liaodong for a year, and he is diligent in climbing the ice and lying in the snow. You are still discussing the candidate for the vanguard of the army. Come back, and then go to the Taiji Palace to knock on the gate, looking for death and life in front of you?

At the beginning, Princess Danyang looked down on Xue Wanche, an old man, because she thought that he was pedantic and dull, who only knew military affairs but not romance.Later, under the instigation of Fang Jun and others, Xue Wanche got angry a few times, showing a man's masculine and heroic temperament, and Princess Danyang changed her normal attitude and changed her mind, which seemed like a husband and wife.

People are counting on the Eastern Expedition to fight for their husband Jackie Chan, if you withdraw the vanguard who is the son-in-law who is sure to be sure... Haha.

I have to say that although His Majesty Li Er is very talented and sometimes cruel, but he is very nostalgic and cares about family affection.

It was probably because of the Xuanwu Gate incident that year, he couldn't do it, and killed his elder brother and brother. Whether it was out of guilt or for others to see, His Majesty Li Er was very kind to his brothers and sisters. Not to mention the generous rewards every now and then, those talented brothers-in-law, brother-in-law, and brothers are also willing to entrust important responsibilities.

Even Li Yuanjing, King of Jing, who has always harbored ulterior motives, also expressed his expectations, hoping that he could change his mind...
