Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 911

Helan Chushi couldn't help sighing in his heart when he heard this, Su Cheng's influence on the emperor was so powerful that it was useless to quarrel with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and Su Cheng encouraged the emperor to send troops with a single word, how could it not shock people?

If you want to ask who has the most gracious family members in the court today, it is undoubtedly Su Cheng.

Both he and His Highness the Crown Prince hoped that Hou Junji would lead the army to go out and make military exploits, regain his high position, and restore his family members.

However, Su Cheng is a hurdle to step over!

At the thought of competing with Su Cheng, Helan Chushi felt a little lacking in confidence.

However, this opportunity should not be missed.

Helan Chushi pondered and said: "No matter what, you can always try it. Mr. Yuezhang is originally a holy family, and with the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is no chance! Although Su Cheng is a rich holy family, he has never led the army to fight. You haven't proven yourself at all!"

Although Hou Junji was also very moved, he saw it more clearly than Helan Chushi. He shook his head and said, "This time, we need to attack the city and pull out the stronghold, so the Shenji Battalion will definitely go out. Then Su Cheng must be the deputy chief of the march. Since Su Cheng disagrees, it is impossible for His Majesty to let me be the chief commander of the march!"

Although there is indeed some truth, Helan Chushi was unwilling, and hurriedly said: "Yue Zhang, how would you know if you didn't try it? What if Princess Changle and the Empress are not willing to send Su Cheng to the expedition, so they only send the Shenji Battalion to the expedition?" ?”

Considering that Princess Changle and Su Cheng are very affectionate, maybe Princess Changle is really reluctant to let Su Cheng go to the expedition, thus convincing His Majesty and the Empress.

Hou Junji nodded and said: "It's not impossible, that's all, the old man also made a memorial to recommend himself!"

In the past two days, there have been quite a few people looking for Su Cheng.

Not only the generals in the army, especially Xue Wanche ran very happily.

Su Cheng met Li Tai on his way into the palace.

"Yo, what a coincidence!" Su Cheng laughed.

"It's no coincidence, I came here to wait for you!" Li Tai asked.

Su Cheng was surprised and said: "Wait for me? What are you waiting for? I am in a hurry to enter the palace. Your Majesty summoned me!"

Li Tai nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, it's to discuss who will lead the army!"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Oh, do you want to lead the army or recommend someone?"

Li Tai quickly waved his hands and said: "I lead the army? I have never fought a war, how can I lead the army? I don't want to recommend anyone, I just heard that the crown prince is going to recommend Hou Junji, and Hou Junji also recommends himself .”

Speaking of this, Li Tai said solemnly: "Su Cheng, anyone can lead the army, but Hou Junji is absolutely not! You must stop Hou Junji!"

"Hou Junji wants to lead the army? It's a beautiful idea!" Su Cheng shook his head and laughed.

Not to mention that he went out with him, even if he didn't go out with him, as long as people from the Shenji Battalion went out with him, he would never let Hou Junji lead the army.

He may not have the ability to let someone lead the army, but he thinks it is not difficult to let Hou Junji lead the army.

Li Tai didn't want Hou Junji to lead the army even more than Su Cheng did. He fixedly looked at Su Cheng and said, "It's up to you! I can only count on you!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, you can, there is nothing wrong with Hou Junji!"

So sure?Li Tai asked curiously: "Could it be that you have already figured it out? Who is the candidate to lead the army?"

Su Cheng smiled slightly and said, "You may never have imagined it in your dreams! Well, I'm going to the palace!"

Li Tai looked at Su Cheng's back as he rode his horse away and couldn't help but bewildered. The candidate he couldn't even dream of?

There are only those generals who can stand alone in the court, and you can count them on your fingers. How could it be impossible to dream of them?

Could it be that Su Cheng led the troops out on his own?

Although this is indeed shocking, it does not seem impossible.

When Su Cheng rode his horse to the front of the palace gate, he happened to meet Cheng Yaojin and others.

Cheng Yaojin and the others were all sad, looking at Su Cheng with unkind eyes.

Ever since Su Cheng told them that the emperor wanted to go to war, they were so entangled in their hearts.

Support the emperor, for fear of being drowned by the spittle of civil servants, and not support the emperor, for fear that the emperor will blame him.

Su Cheng came forward with a smile and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "Why did you tell us? Huh? This makes us sleepless!"

Su Cheng was speechless: "I didn't tell you, you think I didn't tell you, I told you, you think I told you! Should I tell you or not?"

Cheng Yaojin was speechless after hearing this.

A group of important officials gathered in Liangyi Hall, and Li Shimin's imperial case was full of memorials.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

"Free gift!"

Li Shimin looked around and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to Su Cheng's reminder last winter, the imperial court has made preparations in advance, so although the Eastern Expedition is urgent, it will not be rushed!"

"The only thing that bothers me is who will lead the army!"

Su Cheng immediately came out and said in a deep voice: "What your majesty said is that although your majesty and ministers have analyzed that the Eastern Expedition has a great chance of winning, the Goguryeo people live in a bitter cold place and their temperament is very tenacious. The Eastern Expedition must be cautious, and Because of the failure of the three Eastern Expeditions in the former Sui Dynasty, I was afraid that the morale of the soldiers would not be strong enough, so I feel that the leader of the army is very important!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but glanced at Su Cheng with satisfaction. Although this kid liked to hide behind and watch the excitement, he never showed his head, but when it was time to step on his feet, he stood on tiptoe just right.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Su Cheng is right, I have been bothered by the matter of leading the army!"

Wei Zheng and other civil servants couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this. What Su Cheng said made sense, and the candidates for the expedition should indeed be cautious.

Li Shimin pointed to the memorials on the imperial case, and said in a deep voice: "I have read all these memorials, but I still have a hard time making a decision!"

"Although we have a great chance of winning, Goguryeo's strength should not be underestimated, so the requirements for the general's ability to lead the army are extremely high. Not only must he be brave, but also have a strategy. Moreover, he must have enough prestige to be able to bring the soldiers of the three armies. Morale!"

"If the pharmacist is not sick, then it is most suitable! Unfortunately, the pharmacist is sick!"

It was a pity for Wei Zheng and others to hear this. If Li Jing hadn't complained of illness, then the government and the public wouldn't have to be so embarrassing.

When Wei Zheng and others heard this, they just felt that His Majesty was having a headache about the candidates for the expedition, but Cheng Yaojin and others could hear His Majesty's implication.

Sure enough, Su Cheng didn't lie to them, the emperor really wanted to conquest by himself.

Just when they were thinking this way, they suddenly felt gazes sweeping over them. They raised their heads slightly and found that it was the emperor looking at them with an inexplicable meaning in his gaze.

But they understood right away, but couldn't help but smile wryly in their hearts, they still couldn't escape.
