Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 481 I just abdicated, I’m not dead!
"What nonsense!"

"Nonsense!"

"Who spread this joke?!"

A familiar roar was heard from outside the palace.

Su Chen and the other two looked back and saw that the person coming was undoubtedly Li Shimin.

Li Shimin walked in with a livid face and expressionless expression, and sat directly opposite Su Chen. "Where did you hear this joke?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "This is what came from Goryeo."

Li Shimin said expressionlessly: "Not only did I lose to Quan Gaisuwen, but I was also beaten to death by the pearl?"

"Is such that."

Su Chen nodded, "Yes, the bead you are holding seems to have been stuffed into your mouth by Duke Li Jing."

Li Shimin: "???"

Li Chengqian was immediately amused, "Even Duke Li was caught?"

"More than that."

Su Chen said cheerfully, "And Lord Changsun and the others were all captured one by one."

"By the way, you are wearing a black eye patch, covering your blinded eye. It is very lifelike."

Li Shimin: "..."

Li Chengqian: "..."

Okay.

This little Goryeo is really so bold.

Not only did the play claim that the Tang Dynasty was defeated, but even I was shot blind and knelt on the ground begging for my life with a pearl in my mouth? ?

Li Shimin: "Send the troops!"

Su Chen: “Ah?”

Li Chengqian nodded: "Yes, yes, send troops!"

Li Shimin: "Let Li Jing go and destroy Goryeo!"

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, although he is now the emperor emeritus, such a drama is fabricated and makes a joke of Li Shimin. Doesn't he have any shame?

Doesn’t the Tang Dynasty have any dignity?
"All Goryeo documents shall be destroyed, including Quan Gaisuwen and others, not a single one shall be left alive!"

"Anyone who has anything to do with this matter will be exterminated!"

"I want them to understand that I am only abdicating, not dying!"

"..."

OK OK.

Either do nothing, or exterminate the three clans directly.

"Father, calm down."

Li Chengqian said cheerfully, "It will take some time to mobilize the troops. Besides, Duke Li is the pillar of the country and is victorious in every battle."

"To deal with a small country like Goryeo, it's useless to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken."

Su Chen nodded, "Whether it is Goryeo or Silla Baekje, they are just tiny places. It is really too much to arrange for Duke Li to deal with them."

Li Shimin: "Didn't they say that Li Jing was also captured? Let Li Jing go."

Su Chen shook his head. "Your Majesty, Duke Li is too soft-hearted. I suggest that Zhishisili and Su Dingfang go."

Li Shimin: “……?”

Li Chengqian clapped his hands and laughed, "Zhishisili is a Turkic man and he is ruthless. If he is allowed to lead the troops to fight, he may be able to execute Su Chen's wheel beheading."

"Although Su Dingfang is still in the Dongying Protectorate, he will arrange for the navy to attack Goryeo by water. It is not a problem to appoint him as the general commander of one route."

"In this way, Goryeo can be secured."

"Certainly?"

Li Shimin sneered, "I will destroy him!"

Li Chengqian: "Okay, okay, my father said to kill him, so let's kill him."

It was rare that they had the same idea about dealing with Goryeo, so Li Chengqian naturally would not reject Li Shimin's proposal.

Again.

Destroying Goryeo would also be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

"You guys should follow too."

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Su Chen, "Do this beautifully, and I will personally officiate at your wedding."

Oh hoo.

Su Chen touched his chin, this is interesting.

"Then don't I have to take Li Jingheng and the others with me?"

"Take it with you. Take it with you."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "Let these boys have fun in Goryeo."

Su Chen: "That's not impossible."

"Then it's settled."

Li Chengqian was afraid that Su Chen would go back on his word, so he laughed and decided the matter.

Su Chen glanced at Li Chengqian without saying much, but he was very interested in Li Shimin's attitude towards sending troops this time.

I wonder what expressions Quan Gaisuwen and King Yeongryu of Goryeo would have if they knew that they were chopped down early because of their juniors.

Within three days, Li Chengqian secretly summoned the six ministers and Zhishisili and others in the palace and arranged a detailed plan for sending troops.

Naturally, the actions in the court cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

When the people of Chang'an discovered that troops within the Tang Dynasty began to be mobilized, they began to make their own speculations.

Until the newspapers spread the story that Goryeo jokingly claimed to have captured the retired emperor alive and shot the retired emperor's eyes blind.

For a while.

The whole country was in uproar.

Who is the emperor?
God Khan!
Even if he abdicated, he would still be an existence that could not be humiliated.

However, the people of Goryeo actually used the retired emperor as the protagonist of the play, claiming that they had captured the retired emperor alive and shot the retired emperor's eyes blind. This was no longer a simple humiliation.

"Send out the troops!"

"The Koreans are just dreaming. We must teach them a lesson!"

"A tiny country actually wants to annex our Tang territory and make our people become slaves of Goryeo?"

"Are you still recruiting? I'll go sign up now..."

Such high enthusiasm among the people made all the ministers understand one thing.

The expedition to Goryeo cannot be delayed.

As for Li Chengqian’s arrangements, they are no longer important.

In the matter of humiliating the national system and humiliating Li Shimin, we must teach Goryeo a lesson. "It's very unexpected."

Inside the palace.

Su Chen scratched his head as he listened to the information collected by Sun Qiang.

Unexpectedly, his words actually facilitated this matter ahead of time, and it was much faster and more efficient than the people Li Chengqian arranged to go to Goryeo.

even.

A strange thought arose in Su Chen's mind.

Could it be that the Koreans wrote such a TV series in later generations because of his joke?
emmmmm.

The more Su Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

It's just weird.

"Your Majesty, Li Jingheng and others are outside the palace asking to see you."

"Invite them in."

After a while.

Li Jingheng and others walked in with smiles on their faces.

Because they had already received accurate information that their names were on the list of people going to invade Goryeo.

Moreover, this was personally chosen by the Emperor.

Let them go to Goryeo and have fun!

Isn’t this exciting?
"Your Majesty."

"We are all family, no need to be polite, please take a seat."

Su Chen smiled and invited Li Jingheng and others to take a seat, "Do you all know about sending troops to Goryeo?"

Li Jingheng smiled and said, "We came to your side just after we learned about this."

They had all followed Su Chen and stirred up trouble in the Western Regions. Now they were going to go on an expedition again, and it was Su Chen who proposed it, so naturally they had to follow Su Chen.

and.

With the experience from last time, they are full of confidence this time.

More importantly, there were rumors in the palace that the retired emperor was very angry about this and even threatened to exterminate the three clans.

What else do they have to worry about when they go to Goryeo this time?
Just do it and that's it.

Su Chen nodded, "Your Majesty and the Emperor are a little angry about this matter, so they mobilized troops and prepared to attack Goryeo in just three days."

"We will not go to war with General Zhishisili this time, just like before."

"Your Highness, do you mean that we should go there in advance?"

Cheng Chumo and the others immediately showed excitement on their faces.

Su Chen nodded, "We will take the water route, first go to the Dongying Protectorate, meet up with General Su Dingfang, and then take the water route."

"Borrowing the road?"

Li Jingheng and others all frowned.

According to the normal marching route, they should have gone to Yingzhou and Dengzhou with Zhishisili, gathered troops and horses, and then headed straight to Goryeo along the road.

However, Su Chen did not go with Zhishisili, but went to the Dongying Protectorate first.

"Why?"

"Because, taking over Goryeo is only part of the plan."

"what?"

Are those Goryeo just a part?

Could it be?

Yuchi Baolin said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the purpose of our trip is to take down Silla and Baekje at the same time?"

"Exactly."

Su Chen nodded with a smile.

Great!
Li Jingheng and others' eyes lit up.

Goryeo is really too small. How many cities are there in the entire country?

How much military merit can they gain by following Zhishisili and Su Dingfang?

I am afraid that once the army starts the war, the entire Goryeo will be flattened in less than ten days or half a month!

But it’s a different story when Silla and Baekje are included.

They could more or less get some good military merits so that they would not be left without even a sip of soup.

Li Chongyi: "Your Majesty, do you have a detailed plan?"

"nature."

Su Chen said with a smile, "As the saying goes, the lips and teeth are cold, and Silla and Baekje are not fools either."

"But that's why we have to let them line up and choose one of them."

Li Jingheng and others seemed to be thinking about something.

Since Su Chen has prepared a detailed plan and is confident enough, doesn't military merit beckon them from afar?
"Zhishishili will lead the troops to the battle in five days, and we will set out to sea in three days."

Su Chen said with a smile, "Before that, you should go to the Ministry of Industry and prepare all the tools. Don't let them slip away when the time comes."

"That's not the case."

Li Jingheng and others laughed.

With the experience from last time, they will naturally do better this time.

the most important is.

The weapons that the Ministry of Industry has now are far from comparable to those from the previous trip to the Western Regions.

Those muskets, rifles, various bombs and so on.

As long as they want, they can transition from cold weapons to hot weapons, and then to cold weapons again, arming themselves to the teeth!

"Everyone go back and prepare. We will gather at the dock in three days."

"it is good!"

After seeing off Li Jingheng and others, Su Chen arranged for Sun Qiang to prepare a carriage, intending to visit Zhishishili. Unexpectedly, Zhishishili came to the Bingjian Palace.

Su Chen led him into the palace with a smile on his face.

"I had planned to visit Duke Anguo in person, but I didn't expect him to come first."

"Haha, it should be me who comes to pay respect to His Majesty."

Zhishisili laughed loudly. Although he was the Duke of Anguo and also the Commandant of the Imperial Concubine's Wife, who didn't know that Su Chen was the favorite of His Majesty?

Even the emperor's attitude towards Su Chen is unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, I came here this time to discuss the expedition. Do you have any detailed arrangements?"
