Chapter 684 Deploy troops and generals
Zheng Xuan nodded to show that he understood.

Inside the Taiji Hall, with Li Zheng's introduction, the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty could be said to have some understanding of the alien world.

The initial uneasiness had disappeared, replaced by hatred and anger towards the Tartars.

In the Taiji Hall, the ministers were outraged.

After learning about this alien world, what they are thinking about now is the Tang Dynasty's subsequent attack on the alien world.

To open up a different world, with such great military achievements, the generals in the hall have been eager to make a move.

Although Li Zheng had said before that he already had a candidate in mind, the generals still wanted to fight for it. What if Li Zheng was just evading the question? Wouldn't the credit be given to someone else in vain?

Thinking of this, all the generals asked Li Zheng to fight.

Li Zheng, who was sitting in the hall, also felt a little amused.

As for the specific candidates for the expedition to the Lu Ding World, Li Zheng has not yet decided on them, but he already has a rough list in his mind.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng spoke up to stop everyone from requesting to fight.

"This time, I intend to lead the army in person."

After hearing Li Zheng's words, the hall fell silent.

Then the civil officials in the hall could no longer sit still and began to admonish Li Zheng.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the other world is still unclear. It would be safer to appoint a general to go into battle first, and then have Your Majesty lead the battle in person once the situation becomes clear."

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Li Zheng ignored these civil officials and announced directly in a somewhat tough tone.

"I know my limits, my dear ministers, so there is no need to say more."

Upon seeing this, the civil officials in the hall understood that the matter had become a foregone conclusion, so they stopped talking and made Li Zheng unhappy in vain.

Seeing that the civil officials had quieted down, Li Zheng continued speaking.

"I have ordered Li Kan, Hou Junji, Su Dingfang and other generals to accompany us on this expedition."

As soon as Li Zheng finished speaking, Li Kan, Hou Junji and other generals who were chosen by Li Zheng showed joy on their faces, while those who were not chosen also looked disappointed.

Everyone knew Li Zheng's temper, and he rarely changed his decisions. So everyone just shook their heads as if accepting their fate.

Seeing everyone like this, Li Zheng had no choice but to speak out to comfort them.

"My dear ministers, please don't worry. This other world is just as vast. There will be plenty of opportunities to achieve great things in the future."

The expressions of the generals who were not selected by Li Zheng improved.

What Li Zheng said was right, but looking at this world, the number of soldiers and generals mobilized by the Tang Dynasty has reached an exaggerated level, but they don't have to worry too much about not having the opportunity to achieve success.

After Li Zheng pondered for a moment, he considered that this Lu Ding world was different from the alien world that the Tang Dynasty had conquered after all. This battle would not only require the military generals to capture cities and territories, but also the civil officials to engage in verbal battles in order to build momentum for the Tang Dynasty.

He can still use violence to deal with foreign races. Anyone who disobeys will be killed until there is no more resistance. However, most of the Chinese people in the Lu Ding world are still enslaved by the Tartars, so of course they cannot be compared in the same way.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng spoke again.

"In this battle, in addition to the 500,000-man army, I also plan to bring 10,000 capable officials."

Li Zheng then told his ministers about his thoughts and plans.

After hearing Li Zheng's explanation, the civil officials in the hall felt ashamed. As officials of the Tang Dynasty, they had not considered things as properly as the emperor.

Thinking of this, the civil and military officials in the hall immediately bowed to Li Zheng.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

The task of selecting these 10,000 capable civil officials naturally fell on the shoulders of the Minister of Personnel, Chu Suiliang.

After arranging all matters related to the expedition, Li Zheng looked at the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty in the Taiji Hall, and couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism rising in his heart.

"Everyone, we should take a long-term view and not limit ourselves to the two worlds we know. There will be more powerful countries waiting for the Tang Dynasty to conquer in the future."

After a pause, Li Zheng uttered an even more shocking statement.

"Even immortality is not possible." As soon as Li Zheng finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the hall began to breathe rapidly.

"Immortality, this is the ultimate dream of many kings, princes and generals.

Especially at their level, they already possess power that most people envy, and immortality is a huge temptation for everyone.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Zheng smiled slightly, and then set the date for the army to march out to ten days later.

Naturally, everyone had no objection.

Li Zheng waved his hand and the meeting dispersed.

The news of the expedition to another world and the end of the Tang Dynasty meeting spread rapidly in the capital.

The world was shocked.

After the court meeting ended, Li Zheng turned and went to the council hall.

Li Zheng dared to step into the Council Hall, and a handsome young man appeared in Li Zheng's eyes. He was wearing the robe of a Tang Dynasty prince, which was draped over his tall and straight body, making him look even more handsome.

He is the current Crown Prince Li Xian of the Tang Dynasty. The young man with rosy lips and white teeth is now almost twenty years old.

When Li Xian saw Li Zheng, he seemed to bow to Li Zheng, and then called out "Father" loudly.

Li Zheng looked at Li Xian in front of him with a satisfied smile on his face.

In the council hall, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had been waiting for Li Zheng for a long time.

"Li Zheng, has the expedition been decided?"

Li Chengqian was the first to speak and asked Li Zheng.

"It's settled. We will set out to conquer this other world in ten days."

Li Zheng said after taking a deep breath.

Li Chengqian nodded upon hearing this.

Li Zheng looked at Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, and after thinking for a while, he said to them.

"I plan to personally conquer this other world this time."

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian showed no surprise on their faces when they heard this.

The two had already guessed about this, and based on Li Zheng's behavior, he would definitely lead the army in person.

Li Xian on the side was a little surprised, but in the eyes of Li Zheng and Li Shimin, he was still a little kid and naturally could not express his opinion on national affairs.

Li Zheng turned around and looked at Li Xian and said.

"After I leave, your uncle will govern the country. Li Xian, you will assist your uncle in the important task of supervising the country."

Li Xian was shocked when he heard this, but then he felt a little excited.

How could a young man not have ambitions? But she also thought about such a big country, and she was a little worried whether he could be capable of handling it.

Li Zheng didn't care about Li Xian's inner thoughts and said to Li Chengqian.

"Brother, you have to work hard again."

Li Chengqian naturally had no objection.

"Don't worry, little brat. The three of us are here with you in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin on the side laughed and scolded.

A warm feeling also surged in Li Zheng's heart. With the support of Li Shimin and others behind him, he had no worries.

After Li Zheng finished discussing the matters concerning Regency, he bowed to Li Shimin and Li Chengqian and withdrew.

After coming out of the Council Hall, Li Zheng returned to the bedroom.

This war would surely not be too short. After thinking about it, Li Zheng decided to summon Qin Wan'er and other concubines in his favorite harem.
