My wife is Wu Zetian

Chapter 917: Dad is running around to deal with the Japanese country!

Ruian quickly rushed to Li Zhi and handed the still-warm memorial to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi opened the memorial and stood up excitedly after reading it.

"Rian Ruian, summon the ministers immediately and start the court!"

"Here!"

Glancing at the excited Li Zhi, Ruian also seemed familiar, just like the last time Tubo was pacified. Could it be that Li Ji and Liu Rengui wrote the letter because Goguryeo was pacified?

Not daring to neglect, Ruian immediately called over all the officials who were accompanying him out of the palace.

None of the civil and military officials knew why the emperor was so crazy. Only Ren Yaxiang and others knew that the only thing that could make the emperor go to war in such a big way was Goguryeo.

You must know that the last time Tubo was pacified by Su Dingfang, the emperor was a temporary dynasty. It should be similar now.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

When all the civil and military officials entered the palace, they all saluted Li Zhi.

"My dear friends, I have just received a joint memorial from the British Duke and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. The entire territory of Goguryeo has been captured by the Tang Dynasty. Even the Mohe tribe and the Uluohun tribe in the north have all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. ."

Li Zhi directly told the news that Goguryeo had been captured.

"This is the blessing of His Majesty, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, and the blessing of the people of the world!"

After hearing this, Ren Yaxiang was the first to stand up and praise Li Zhi's merits.

"This is the blessing of His Majesty, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, and the blessing of the people of the world!"

"This is the blessing of His Majesty, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, and the blessing of the people of the world!"

"This is the blessing of His Majesty, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, and the blessing of the people of the world!"

All civil and military officials also saluted Li Zhi and followed Ren Yaxiang in singing praises.

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we have conquered Goguryeo, and now we have finally restored it.

I decided to divide the entire territory of Goguryeo into nine governor's offices and forty-two states, and set up the Andong governor's office in Pyongyang City.

Then the people were moved to Goguryeo to enrich the real estate, and the six ministries deployed officials to prepare to receive it.

At the same time, a general amnesty was granted to the whole world, and the whole world celebrated. "

Li Zhi waved to everyone. His father had already discussed with officials the governance policy after taking over Goguryeo.

The nine major governor's mansions, coupled with the Andong governor's mansion, are enough to ensure the security of the entire territory of Goguryeo.

Now my father's long-cherished wish has finally come true, and Goguryeo, a great evil in the East, has finally been put down by the Tang Dynasty.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is pacifying Goguryeo in the east and Tibet is being conquered in the southwest, it can be said that there is no longer any threat.

After two generations of attacks, Datang finally completely stabilized it.

"My Holy Emperor!"

"My Holy Emperor!"

"My Holy Emperor!"

The officials saluted again. They all knew the significance of taking Goguryeo. Now Datang could finally rest for a while.

"Your Majesty, do you have a candidate for the Grand Governor of the Anton Protectorate?"

After the compliment, Ren Yaxiang also thought of an important issue, that is, the candidate for the Governor of the Anton Protectorate.

This person must have enough force, resourcefulness and prestige to completely suppress the situation in Goguryeo.

It stands to reason that the most suitable candidate should be the British Duke Li Ji, but he is already old and has a high prestige. If he is in Goguryeo, he may not be able to lose his position.

So he will never allow this to happen.

"Ren Yaxiang, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Li Zhi naturally understood what Ren Yaxiang was thinking. He didn't want Li Ji to stay in Goguryeo, just like he couldn't let the Su local guard in Tubo.

It is better for these generals to stay under their noses.

"I think the most suitable candidate is the British Duke, but the British Duke is already old and it is not suitable to stay in a bitter and cold place like Goguryeo.

Therefore, I recommend Xue Li and Xue Rengui, the generals of Youweiwei, as the commander-in-chief of the Andong Protectorate to guard the entire territory of Goguryeo. "

Ren Yaxiang thought for a moment and found that besides Li Ji, the most suitable candidate now was Xue Rengui who would follow him to pacify Goguryeo.

This man was young after all. Although he had made many military exploits, he was still not on the same level as Li Ji.

If Xue Li is guarding it, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Okay, then we will appoint Youweiwei General Xue Li as the Commander-in-Chief of the Andong Protectorate to guard the entire territory of Goguryeo.

At the same time, he ordered the British Duke Li Ji to return to the court with his troops in order to reward him. "

Li Zhi nodded. Although Ren Yaxiang was a little annoying, he had to say that he did everything for Datang.

The first attack on Su Dingfang and now the attack on Li Ji were all for the sake of Datang.

And Ren Yaxiang had the same idea as him. He also tended to put Xue Li and Xue Rengui under guard in the Andong Protectorate.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The civil and military officials watched the monarch and his ministers singing in harmony, and they had no objections.

Soon the imperial edict left Luoyang and rushed towards the border of Goguryeo.

"Xue Li, I have told you everything about this place. As long as you don't do anything too outrageous, Goguryeo will completely become my territory of the Tang Dynasty in less than ten years!"

Li Ji looked at Xue Rengui beside him with admiration in his eyes.

Xue Li has been following him for such a long time, and Li Ji sees his daily growth.

This guy is really good material to be a general. As long as he thinks about it more, he will definitely achieve great things.

"General, what do you mean?"

Xue Li saluted Li Ji with doubts in his eyes. Li Ji suddenly told him this, and he was really confused.

"Our memorial should have arrived in Luoyang now. After receiving the memorial, His Majesty will definitely ask my teacher to return to the court, and the person to take charge of Goguryeo should be you."

Li Ji smiled at Xue Rengui and told all the reasons.

"General, it is clear that you are the best person to guard Goguryeo. Why does Your Majesty allow you to return to the court with your troops?"

Xue Rengui was dumbfounded. He couldn't figure it out. It was clearly Li Ji who was guarding Goguryeo, so how could it fall on him?

"I am old and Goguryeo is bitterly cold. I have stayed here for a long time, and I may lose these old bones here.

I'm sure His Majesty will be considerate of an old man like me and let me go back to Datang to recuperate.

You are young and strong, and it is just right for you to guard Goguryeo. "

Li Ji didn't say anything. He knew very well that with the emperor's imperial mentality, he would never let such a prestigious prince stay outside.

If he had even a hint of rebellion, it would be much more serious for the Tang Dynasty than for Goguryeo.

Xue Rengui was different. He was young, promising, and physically strong. The most important thing was that he had a shallow foundation. He was just right to guard Goguryeo.

"General, I'm afraid that's not the reason!"

Xue Li was not a fool. Looking at Li Ji's expression, he could think of something.

"Don't think so much, don't say so much, just understand everything yourself."

Li Ji looked at Xue Rengui again, and realized as much as he could. He was still young anyway, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"Xue Li understands, if nothing happens, I will go and prepare first!"

Xue Li saluted and retreated directly.

Not long after, Li Zhi's order also reached the three armies. Li Ji took over the order and returned to the court, while Xue Rengui set off for Pyongyang City to prepare for sorting out the affairs of the Andong Protectorate.

The ships departing from Baekje finally arrived in the Japanese kingdom. When they heard that the Japanese navy was completely destroyed by the Tang navy and all the soldiers and horses that landed were captured, the entire Japanese kingdom exploded.

What the Japanese people fear most now is that the Tang Dynasty navy will attack the mainland across the sea and destroy them.

So they unanimously decided to send people to the Tang Dynasty to submit their credentials to the Tang Dynasty and were willing to belong to the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, they actively deployed defense lines to prevent Datang from attacking.

As for the 20,000 prisoners, the emperor didn't care at all. They were all soldiers and horses of the local wealthy families anyway, and if one died, one would be missing.

However, the powerful powers from all parties disagreed. Since the royal family did not contribute any money, they themselves collected 200,000 taels of gold and took a sea ship towards Baekje.

After realizing the power of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese emperor also began to learn from the Tang Dynasty, copying everything from government affairs to laws.

In addition, apprentices were sent to Datang to learn the advanced technology of Datang.

"Father, now that the four directions have been decided, when are you going to attack Japan?"

Li Yanran came to her father's side. Now that Tubo and Goguryeo have been captured, it is time to deal with the Japanese country.

Capturing their Tang Dynasty is equivalent to having an overseas base. The next step can be to extend outward from the Japanese country to see if it can reach the Americas.

"Why are you so keen on conquering Japan?"

Li Zhi was depressed. This Japanese country might not have offended his precious daughter in his previous life.

Otherwise, how could she be so concerned about him.

It was as if she would not rest in peace until the Japanese nation was destroyed.

"Father, haven't you seen it from the previous naval battle? This Japanese country is simply a hungry wolf. If we don't capture them, Yanran will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

What else could Li Yanran say? To prevent being invaded by them in the future?

My father wouldn't believe it at all.

"Well, haven't I already ordered the Ministry of Maritime Affairs to develop ocean-going ships? I believe it won't take long to succeed.

At that time, let the navy go eastward and directly destroy the Japanese country. "

Li Zhi always felt that his daughter had some strange feelings towards the Japanese country. Anyway, she had never had such feelings towards Tubo and Goguryeo.

But after experiencing the previous battles, the country also saw the strength and ambition of the Japanese country.

Once the ships are ready and the troops are sent eastward, there should be no problem.

"Yanran has also sent people to study ocean-going cargo ships. There are almost dozens of them now. If my father needs them, I am willing to let them go out with the navy to help transport food and grass supplies!"

Li Yanran has been destroying ships in the past two years. From a dozen ocean-going ships at the beginning to dozens now, they are all made of real money.

Fortunately, the trade with the Japanese country had already made up for these shortfalls, which was the fundamental reason why she could not say this.

The main character is a rich man who is willful and makes whatever he wants.

"You actually built so many ships?"

Hearing Li Yanran's words, Li Zhi was also stunned.

He really had no idea what his daughter had done in the past two years.

There are dozens of ocean-going ships, each of which is worth a lot of money. It really stands out as a wealthy person.

"Father, don't worry, I built these ships with my own money, none of your money will be used!"

Looking at her father, Li Yanran hurriedly explained, all I spend is my money, you can't say anything to me.

"What kind of person am I? But these dozens of ships are all your hard work. Do you really want to take them out and let them go out with the navy?"

Li Zhi is depressed. Is your father so miserable in your eyes?

Just looking at the petty profits all day long?

If he really cared, could he keep all his money with Li Yanran?

"As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, Yanran has enjoyed the rights granted by the Tang Dynasty, and naturally has to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.

It's just dozens of sea ships. As long as the Japanese country can be pacified in one fell swoop, what if Yanran takes out all of them? "

As long as we can capture the small Japanese country and destroy this ambitious place, let alone dozens of ships.

It doesn't matter if she takes out dozens of ships.

What is money used for, other than spending it?

It’s not enough to make more money after spending it.

She is not one of those royal children, she can only spend money, not make money.
