Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 909 Gratitude

The news of the emperor's decision to send 15 troops to conquer Goguryeo spread throughout Chang'an, and there was not much criticism between the ruling and opposition parties, especially after Su Cheng's words spread, which made the common people in Chang'an City excited.

The Tang Dynasty has not been defeated so far. Even the East Turks have been destroyed. Are you still afraid of Goguryeo?

Now that the decision to send troops has been made, who will lead the army?

Undoubtedly, Li Jing was the most talked about.

Li Jing has made great military exploits and is well-known all over the world.

It's just that it's a pity that Li Jing is ill. If Li Jing is not ill, then Li Jing is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to lead the army.

Since Li Jing is sick and unable to go out, who will go out?

This issue has aroused heated discussions between the ruling and opposition parties. Some say Li Xiaogong, some say Cheng Yaojin, some say Li Ji, some say Su Cheng...

There are all kinds of things, everyone can say it, but Li Ji's voice is the highest.

If you want to say who is the most ecstatic person in Chang'an after the news of the imperial court's decision to send troops spreads, none is better than Jin Shengman.

Originally, she wanted to keep running, but before the treasure was delivered, news spread that the imperial court had decided to send troops.

At the moment when he heard the news, Jin Shengman cried with joy, because for Silla, this is a lifeline from a desperate situation.

At first she thought it was the treasures scattered around that had played a role, but then she realized that it was Su Cheng who made a speech in the palace and persuaded the emperor to send troops.

At this moment, she was full of infinite gratitude to Su Cheng!

She sent so many treasures, originally she just wanted to be satisfied with Su Cheng standing by and watching, but she never thought that not only did Su Cheng not accept the treasures, but he also gave his best to help.

Such a broad mind!What a great kindness!

While being grateful, Jin Shengman also felt distressed. The spilled treasures didn't work at all. It's better to give those treasures to Su Cheng, at least to express a little gratitude.

The emperor decided to send troops, and Jin Wenzhi was also excited. Agitated, he couldn't help asking with concern: "Princess, the Tang Dynasty has decided to send troops. Doesn't that mean that the bet between the princess and Rong Guogong has been lost?"

Jin Shengman nodded and said: "I lost, isn't this exactly what we expected?"

It was indeed what they expected, but it was not the same as what they expected. The event of the expedition caused an uproar in the court. The courtiers who supported the expedition and those who opposed it were arguing endlessly in the court. No one could persuade anyone, nor did the emperor. Hesitant, so they thought that there would be continuous twists and turns in the expedition.

It never occurred to me that Su Cheng, who had never spoken before, made the final decision the first time he spoke, which directly made the emperor make up his mind to go to war.

What kind of holy family is this!

This was too simple for Su Cheng, so Jin Wenzhi suddenly felt that the bet was not worth it.

Jin Wenzhi asked: "Does the princess really want to be his slave?"

If Su Cheng really worked hard to facilitate the expedition, then it would be fine to give Su Cheng a slave as a servant according to the bet.

It's just a matter of Su Cheng's words. Isn't it too deceitful to ask their princess to be a slave?

Therefore, Jin Wenzhi hesitated a little.

Jin Shengman nodded and said: "Of course, as a princess of Silla, I must do what I say. How can I break my word? Besides, this also shows how amazing Su Cheng's family is. If Su Cheng is busy, What if it happens again?"

Will there be repetitions?Now it has spread all over the ruling and opposition parties, but they can't afford to gamble.

Jin Wenzhi pondered: "Princess, we must wait until after the army goes out, and then the princess will fulfill her promise, so as not to repeat it! This will also allow Su Cheng to prompt the Tang army to march east as soon as possible and relieve our crisis in Silla."

Jin Shengman nodded and said, "That's natural!"

Jin Wenzhi said regretfully: "Since Su Cheng can persuade the emperor to make up his mind to send troops so easily, why do we have to run around and lose those treasures for nothing! Besides, Su Cheng has not confiscated it himself, so he must regret it now!"

Jin Shengman pondered: "Perhaps Su Cheng himself didn't expect it to be so smooth. If he regrets not having any treasure, then we will give him all the remaining treasures as a thank you!"

Hearing this, Jin Wenzhi was in pain again, but thinking that he could ask Datang to send troops, everything was worth it.

Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi came to Sujiazhuang again, but their mood was very different from last time.

The last time she came to Sujiazhuang, Jin Shengman was full of hatred and apprehension, but this time, her heart was full of surprise and gratitude.

"Duke, thank you for your kindness!" Jin Shengman solemnly blessed him, and Su Cheng was Silla's savior!

Not just her savior, but the savior of all the people in Silla. This kind of kindness is too great, how can I not be grateful?

Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's just a little effort!"

Jin Wenzhi smiled and said: "The princess and the officials have been running around anxiously for the past two days. If I had known that the Duke could successfully persuade His Majesty to send troops, the princess would not have to be so anxious!"

Jin Shengman took the initiative and said: "Yes, we still have some treasures, let's treat it as a congratulatory gift from the Duke, please accept it!"

For the treasures of Silla, Su Cheng really had no interest at all, waved his hands and said: "The congratulatory gifts are all waived, you should keep them and continue running!"

Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi couldn't help being slightly taken aback when they heard this: "Keep running? Didn't Your Majesty decide to send troops?"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Although His Majesty has decided to send troops, he has not yet decided on a leader. There will be some twists and turns. If you want Datang to continue sending troops, you'd better keep running!"

Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi couldn't help feeling tense when they heard this. Now that Silla is being defeated by the Goguryeo army, they may perish at any time, so time is life for them, and they really don't want to delay for a moment.

Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi couldn't help introspecting in their hearts. They were overjoyed when they heard the news that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty had decided to go to war. They were still too naive.

You can only relax when the army goes out!

Jin Shengman leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your suggestion!"

After hearing this, Jin Wenzhi couldn't help pondering in his heart, since Su Cheng was able to move the emperor's decision to go to war so smoothly, if Su Cheng asked, wouldn't the candidate for the expedition be quickly determined?

Jin Wenzhi said respectfully: "I don't know who the Duke thinks is suitable to lead the army?"

Su Cheng laughed and said nothing.

Seeing this, Jin Wenzhi couldn't help but feel moved. Su Cheng wouldn't want to recommend himself, would he?

Jin Wenzhi asked in a low voice: "Could it be that the Duke wants to lead the army?"

Jin Shengman was taken aback when he heard that, Su Cheng led the army?

There are many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, even if she was far away in Silla, she had heard of them, but Su Cheng, would he know how to fight?
