Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 914

Wei Zheng and the others really want to pooh Yu Chigong's face, can your Yuchigong's fate be compared with the emperor's?

Wei Zheng said with a dark face: "Anyway, I will strongly advise Your Majesty, and I will never let Your Majesty take risks!"

Kong Yingda looked at Li Jing and asked, "Duke Wei is really sick and unable to march eastward? If Duke Wei can lead the army to go out, then His Majesty won't go on the expedition himself!"

Li Jing couldn't help being a little embarrassed when he heard that, in fact, he didn't have any serious illness, but His Majesty obviously didn't want him to lead the army, he was walking on eggshells, how could he get involved?

Li Jing said vaguely: "After so many years of fighting, many wounded soldiers have been left behind, and old diseases have relapsed. I'm afraid we won't be able to cope with the bitter cold in Liaodong. If we miss the battle, we will be in trouble!"

Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang, Fang Xuanling and others shook their heads and sighed

The words were not speculative, Wei Zheng and others didn't even look at Cheng Yaojin, they flicked their sleeves and strode away.

Cheng Yaojin said unhappily: "Old man Wei, what do you mean by that? We look like heinous treacherous ministers, and it's not that we are instigating His Majesty to conquest himself!"

Li Ji looked at Su Cheng with a half-smile. Before they knew about the emperor's personal conquest, Su Cheng already knew about it. Could it be Su Cheng...

Su Cheng said angrily: "Don't look at me like that. I didn't encourage Your Majesty, but Your Majesty once revealed it by chance. I think His Majesty is very firm. I'm afraid I won't be able to persuade you to come back!"

Li Jing sighed: "There is another turmoil in the court!"

The previous discussion of sending troops had already caused a lot of noise. Many courtiers always felt that the imperial court should not conquer Liaodong. Now that the emperor wants to conquer Liaodong himself, it is a wonder that the court is still arguing.

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help touching his head with emotion, he knew the words of those civil officials, so don't make His Majesty furious in the end and cause another disturbance.

Su Cheng didn't have this worry. Li Shimin had been thinking about the Eastern Expedition for so many years, so he must have foreseen this, so he shouldn't be angry about it.

The news spread throughout the government offices like a gust of wind, and the courtiers who heard the news were all stunned.

The emperor wants to drive in person?

How does this work?

How can the dignified emperor risk his life?

Of course, no one in the court doubted His Majesty's ability to lead the army. Everyone just thought that it was for the Eastern Expedition, and there was no need for His Majesty to personally march.

In the past when the Eastern Turks were destroyed, the emperor didn't have a personal conquest, but now it's just to save Silla, so why should His Majesty take risks?

Is Silla important, or is the emperor's safety more important?

There is no doubt that His Majesty's safety is of course more important.

To save Silla, if you can send a large general to lead the army to save it, it's fine, and if you have to trouble the emperor to personally conquer it, then it doesn't matter.

Then came the words of the emperor.

The generals of the court and the Central Plains felt agitated when they heard it. What His Majesty said makes sense, and they must teach Goguryeo a lesson, wash away the shame, and revive the prestige of the Central Plains Dynasty.

The memorials are like snowflakes, all piled up on the imperial case, but Li Shimin has no interest in reading them at all.

In the early morning tomorrow, Li Shimin felt both a headache and agitation. The headache was that the officials would definitely oppose Yu Jia's expedition tomorrow.

Excitedly, tomorrow he will formally issue an imperial edict, and the imperial conquest will be personally conscripted.

Empress Changsun walked into the hall gracefully, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen His Highness so excited for a long time!"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "My long-cherished wish for so many years is finally coming true, how can I not be excited?"

Empress Changsun couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Why does the concubine feel that His Majesty seems to be suffering in the palace and wants to go out to relax?"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "What the queen said is also reasonable. On the one hand, this is indeed my long-cherished wish for many years. On the other hand, I have been staying in the palace all these years, and it is indeed a bit boring. I miss the days when I galloped on the battlefield. !"

Empress Changsun blinked mischievously when she heard this, and said with a smile: "How did you hear that? Su Cheng said in the Hall of Liangyi that if your majesty wants to go to war, he must be in front of all the officials. He promises not to put on armor in person, not to fight in person." Isn’t it true that it’s not just to scout out the enemy’s tracks?”

Li Shimin was speechless after hearing this, waved his hands and said: "That's the case, this kid is really full of evil ideas!"

Empress Changsun smiled and said: "The concubine thinks that Su Xiaozi's idea is very good. Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and his body is in the world. Even if the Royal Commander personally conscripts, he should be in the middle of the command. How can he charge forward again?"

"There are powerful generals in the charge, if His Majesty charges again, what will they do with it?"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "I know that the queen is worried about me, and I also know that I belong to the community, so how can I be in danger? I have guards and generals by my side, so there will be no danger! The queen can rest assured!"

That is to say, the emperor still wanted to wear armor to go into battle. After hearing this, Empress Changsun was even more grateful to Su Cheng. If Su Cheng hadn't made this suggestion suddenly, the emperor would really be unable to be restrained.

Empress Changsun shook her head and said: "The concubine is not at ease. If your majesty does not agree to Su Cheng's conditions, then the concubine will not support your majesty's personal conquest!"

In the Sifang Pavilion, Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi were dumbfounded when they heard the news. They were still guessing who would be the leader of the army. They never expected that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would personally lead the expedition.

They were simply overjoyed.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty led a large army to sweep the world back then, and the talent of his leader was praised all over the world. There is no better chance of winning than the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally leading the army in the Eastern Expedition!

Moreover, since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally marched, he must be led by the most elite soldiers and horses, and those who accompanied the army must be famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Jin Shengman said excitedly: "Great! This is really great! Our Silla is saved! Our Silla is saved! The emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally marched and defeated Goguryeo!"

Jin Wenzhi was the first to know the news, and he calmed down a lot at the moment. He pondered: "Of course the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will have a great chance of winning the imperial conquest, but the ministers in the court are all against it. Go out!"

Jin Shengman's heart sank when he heard this, and suddenly he remembered Su Cheng. When they asked Su Cheng who he wanted to lead the army, Su Cheng was vague, and they suspected that Su Cheng wanted to lead the army himself.

Now she suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Do you think the Rongguo Guild already knew that the emperor was going to march in person? Otherwise, why did he let us continue running?"

Jin Wenzhi couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, nodded and said: "It is very possible, he must have figured it out, the emperor's personal conquest will cause opposition from the courtiers, so let us continue to run."

"Since Rong Guogong has expected it, he must have a plan in his chest!" Jin Shengman said happily: "Master Jin, tell me, could it be that Rong Guogong persuaded His Majesty to march in person?"
