Chapter 806
In the north of Daming Palace, there is Shesheng Hall in Neiyuan.

The Daming Palace was built in a hurry, except for a few main halls and a few places where the emperor walked daily, there were still some places in the palace that were still being repaired and continued to be built sporadically.But among the temples that have been completed, there is one that was completed the earliest, and it was also explained by Li Ke himself. This temple is the Shesheng Temple.

Shesheng Hall, as the name suggests, is the place where Li Ke shoots arrows every day. Li Ke was born in the army.

In the Hall of Shesheng, the grass target was standing outside the hall. Li Ke was standing a hundred steps away from the grass target, holding the bow in his left hand and nodding the arrow in his right hand. He pulled the Luodiao bow to the full moon, and the sharp arrow flew away like a shooting star. Go, hit the mark.

"Your Majesty is good at archery. I didn't expect that His Majesty has been busy with government affairs recently, but he has not lost his martial arts." Li Ke shot an arrow, and Xi Junmai beside him applauded.

Li Ke slowly lowered his hand holding the Luo Diao Bow, and said to Mr. Xi: "I can afford others to praise me, but I should be ashamed if you praise me."

Xi Junmai said: "The last general is telling the truth. He was hit by an arrow from a hundred steps away. Even if he counts the forbidden army several times with such skill, how many people can compare with His Majesty."

Li Ke learned from Qin Shubao, so in terms of martial arts, he is naturally not as good as Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui, but he is definitely considered brave, and there are not many people in the forbidden army who can compete with Li Ke.

Li Ke heard the words, looked down at the Luo Diao Bow in his hand, and sighed: "My martial art is originally a killing technique, but I have been wasted in the shooting range and hunting garden for too long, and I don't know when I will be able to fight again. Gallop on the sand field."

Xi Junmai asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, seeing the army marching eastward, is so itchy and can't sit still?"

Li Ke said: "Yesterday, when I discussed matters with Dingfang and Maogong, my heart was really itchy. I really wish I could order my own generals and lead the army to go out. It's a pity that the pressure from the court is too great, and I can't go against everyone's wishes."

Xi Junmai said with relief: "The dissuasion by the ministers this time is also for the safety of your majesty, but you don't have to worry about it. Now that the troubles in the Tang Dynasty have not been resolved, your majesty will have no chance."

Li Ke listened to Xi Junmai comforting himself, and asked: "If I want to go to war, I'm afraid it will be difficult. What about you, you are the world's best in martial arts, but you are in trouble like me, do you feel distressed?"

Xi Junmai replied without thinking: "Of course not, protecting His Majesty is the most important thing in the world."

Li Ke patted Xi Junmai on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I am very pleased that you can think so, but your martial arts skills must not be wasted. But right now, the Beiya Imperial Army cannot do without you. You will not be able to catch up with the next Eastern Expedition, and in a few years, when Tubo is settled in the west, you must be the leader of an army, and at that time, maybe I will be able to go with you."

Xi Junmai pays homage to General You Xiaowei, who is in charge of the emperor's army. Even if he is the prime minister of the court, he can't pretend to be speechless. This is naturally extremely useful for military officials, but Xi Junmai is a general after all. The responsibility is really to humiliate talent, even if Xi Jun buys himself and won't complain, Li Ke can't bear it.

But when Xi Junmai heard Li Ke's words, he also knew Li Ke's thoughts. Li Ke not only wanted Xi Junmai to participate in the future war against Tubo, but he obviously also wanted to conquer himself.

Here Li Ke and Xi Junmai are talking about the future conquest of Tubo, at the same time, Su Dingfang, who was ordered to enter the palace, has already entered.

"The last general, Su Dingfang, pays homage to His Majesty." Su Dingfang entered the hall and bowed to Li Ke.

"Get up." Li Ke raised his hand, signaling Su Dingfang to get up.

Su Dingfang thanked him, got up and looked at the Luo Diao Bow in Li Ke's hand, and the feathered arrow stuck on the grass target not far away, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in a good mood today, and I will meet you at the Shesheng Hall at the end of the imperial edict. "

Li Ke put down the Luo Diao Bow in his hand, handed it to Xi Junmai, brushed off his sleeves, walked up to Su Dingfang, and said to Su Dingfang: "I sent you into the palace today because I have something important to tell you face to face. But I don't want others to know about this matter, so I borrowed the excuse of telling you to join the palace as a training partner."

When Su Dingfang heard the words, he immediately said, "Please give orders, Your Majesty."

Li Ke took out a handwritten letter from his sleeve, handed it to Su Dingfang, and said, "This is a handwritten letter written by my own hand. It's a decree. You should read it first."

The so-called Zhongzhi is an imperial edict issued directly by the emperor before he passed the school of Zhongshu, and handed over to Yousi for execution. The Zhongzhi is at odds with the imperial system, but because it is the most direct manifestation of the emperor's will, it is also valid. force.

Su Dingfang respectfully took the letter from Li Ke, and was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood, not only understood Li Ke's meaning, but also why Li Ke issued the decree.Because if this imperial decree is passed under Zhongshu's door, it will definitely be refuted, and it will also cause an uproar in the court.

Because what is written in this edict is nothing else, it is Li Ke's intention to take advantage of the strategy of the Eastern Expedition to pacify Silla.

Su Dingfang said: "Silla is my country of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty wants to attack Silla."

Li Ke said: "In this Eastern Expedition, my intention is to completely pacify the Liaodong area, leaving no hidden dangers, and Silla is among the repeaters, so I naturally want to take action against them."

Su Dingfang asked: "Your Majesty is worried that after the Tang army pacifies Goguryeo, Silla will take advantage of the opportunity and continue to threaten Liaodong."

Of the three peninsular countries, Goguryeo is the strongest, followed by Silla, and then Baekje, which is slightly inferior to Silla. Once Li Ke sends troops to destroy Goguryeo and Baekje, Silla will no longer have rivals on the peninsula, and will inevitably look for opportunities Sit big and become the next Goguryeo, even far better than Goguryeo, and in fact Silla is doing the same.

Li Ke nodded and said, "Exactly."

Su Dingfang said: "This matter has a lot to do with it, so it's no wonder that His Majesty wants to use the name of accompanying shooter to order the general to enter the palace for discussion."

Li Ke said: "What I said in my handbook is all practical things. I have paved the way ahead, and I just need to act according to the plan when the time comes."

As Li Ke was speaking, he suddenly asked Su Dingfang: "This matter is important and secret, and it is still in my order, so I have to be more careful. I have thought a lot about the person who will do this, and I finally decided on it." You. This is my central decree, can you answer the edict?"

Although Li Ji used to be Li Ke's former subordinate, he was not a confidant of the direct line. Li Ke did not dare to hand over this matter to Li Ji lightly. After all, there was still a layer of separation between Li Ji and Li Ke.In the whole world, Su Dingfang is the only one who has the ability to accomplish this and can reassure Li Ke.

Su Dingfang heard the words, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately bent down and said: "The general should answer the edict. In the eyes of the general, as long as it is His Majesty's will, he should do his best to complete it, whether it is the purpose or not."

Li Ke patted Su Dingfang's arm, supported Su Dingfang and said: "With your words, I can rest assured. You just do this matter. It is a great achievement for you to do it. As for the pressure on the court I will bear it."
