Chapter 930: Who should control the 10,000+ army?

Tai Chi Hall in Chang'an City.Chaohui.

As the chief executive of one side, of course Li Yu had to go to the palace to participate in the court meeting.

It's just that Li Yu, the lord of a county, has never been back to Chang'an City, let alone a court meeting, since he was appointed by the imperial court.

So today is the first time that Li Yu officially participated in the court system of the Tang Dynasty. He didn't even know where he was standing. It was the servant who led him to stand in the middle of the civil servant sequence.

Li Yu is somewhat awkward. He is used to thinking of himself as a general, and some of the civil servants he knew before have gone home to retire, and some have passed away. According to reports from the underworld, he didn't know many faces at the court meeting, so unfamiliar.

A series of official etiquette and rules made Li Yu extremely irritable. He simply closed his eyes and refused to listen to those unintelligible farts.

Li Yu doesn't know other people, but it doesn't mean that others don't know Li Yu, the most special guy in the world, he can't pay attention.

So the civil servants around Li Yu were quietly watching the legendary emperor's illegitimate son.

The civil servants are all muttering here, after all, Li Shimin is extremely powerful. If you send out your own son with all your heart, you will get as much reward as you pay!I can't bear to let the baby catch the wolf!

See how courageous they are?

Although it is cruel to abandon the eldest son, but the harvest is also very rewarding. I got it back to the third house of the Li family in Longxi, which can be regarded as the most terrifying family among the five surnames and Qiwang in today's world. to disintegrate.

Li Yu listened to Changsun's persuasion, restrained his temper, and chose to tolerate all kinds of strange eyes from the civil servants around him, and chose not to see the blind man!
Finally, several civil servants and ministers finished their official articles, and Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and asked;

"What's your opinion, ladies?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Xue Yantuo's barbarians are rude and arrogant, treat my envoys from the heavenly kingdom lightly, and severely injure my ally Qilibi Khan Ashina Simo. Raising tigers is a problem, I implore His Majesty the Emperor to send troops to rescue allies, with the friendship of all brothers and states."

These are almost rehearsed before, Li Shimin was waiting for this moment, with a big wave of his hand;
"allow!"

The civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty began to shout long live.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

In fact, to put it bluntly, the Li Tang court tried to restore the Eastern Turks, and supported the Tilibi Khan Ashina Simo, with the purpose of preventing and countering the rise of the Xue Yantuo tribe. This is a lice on the bald head, and it is obvious.

And Xue Yantuo's many wars with the newly restored Eastern Turks were also self-protection behaviors against Li Tang's instigation and bullying. The alert, that's all!

But Li Shimin likes to set up a chastity archway while taking off his pants to sell his ass, so he needs a well-known excuse to comfort himself.

"Since all the lovers agree, then we should discuss how to send troops, and who will lead the troops to be the commander in chief. Feel free to tell me what good strategies you love."

"The ministers obey the order."

Li Yu looked at the camp of generals opposite, but Li Jing, the commander in chief of the three armies, was no longer at the court meeting.

Zuoye heard the queen think about it, saying that Li Yaoshi had returned to his hometown in Sanyuan, Yongzhou to take care of his old age, and his complete withdrawal also reassured Li Shimin a lot.

So in today's imperial court, Li Shiji is the only commander who can lead troops.

Li Jing, who checked and balanced himself, went home to retire. Li Shiji's mood was not relaxed, but even heavier, because he knew that the emperor could not be at ease, but would become more suspicious.

really!

The year before last, Li Shimin personally appointed Duan Zhixuan as the commander-in-chief of the West Kaidao Army, leading troops to conquer the Tuyuhun tribe.

He was moved to the title of General of Youwei, Duke of Baoguo, Governor of Jinzhou, and the title of General of Zhenjun.

The purpose is to cultivate a character who can check and balance Li Shiji.

Of course Li Shiji knew it clearly in his heart, so that year he tried his best to recommend Duan Zhixuan to the top position.

As Duan Zhixuan's iron-blooded brother, Niu Jinda of course jumped up and down to support him, and also dragged Chang'an Sansha and the other two, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, to move around.

Finally, under the expectation of everyone, Duan Zhixuan was unparalleled, and fortunately he did not disgrace his life, and defeated Tuyuhun's attack steadily, and finally collapsed.

At this point, the Li and Tang courts should have stopped, right?
In fact, it was not as expected, because Duan Zhixuan caught a cold on the grassland and suffered a serious illness. He still wanted to restore the willpower of his ancestor's iron-blooded legend, and supported General Duan to finish the battle.

It wasn't until he returned to Chang'an City that he fell down completely, and he couldn't afford to get sick again. No, he was recuperating in the mansion, and he hadn't seen anyone at the court meeting for more than a year.

Li Yu speculated that he might have suffered from altitude sickness in Qinghai. People in this era lacked medical concepts and medical conditions, so it was not easy for them to live a long life, especially for generals. Bleeding from injuries was almost a common occurrence, and it was even more difficult for them to live a long life.

Duan Zhixuan, who was in his 40s, suddenly suffered from altitude sickness, which may be a sign of bad luck. Based on Li Yu's guess, it may be difficult to live another ten years.

Therefore, the checks and balances Li Shiji cultivated in the imperial court became obsolete again.

At this time, who is it appropriate to call out to take command?

Xue Wanche?
This is a character who is not much different from Li Shiji, with standard real skills and absolutely no moisture.

However, he was born in Li Jiancheng's faction, so he was automatically ignored by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Just kidding, if you recommend the person whom the emperor guards against day and night to come out and take charge of the military power in the world, the emperor may kill your head tonight.

Like everyone else, Li Yu looked at Xue Wanche, the hero opposite, and shook his head lightly.

After shaking his head, Li Yu stared and found Li Daozong, a cute and amiable man among the generals.

Li Daozong, in his 40s, was in high spirits. He was the great-grandson of Tang Taizu Li Hu, the grandson of Li Zhang, the governor of Liangzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the son of Dongping King Li Shao, and the cousin of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

He was born as a son of a standard aristocratic family, and he has learned a lot of military arts and martial arts since he was a child. He is the figure who commands the three armies when he is on the horse.

Li Jing went home to retire, Xue Wanche had a wrong background at the beginning, Cheng Yaojin was the representative of the young and strong faction left by Li Shimin, the absolute trump card, and the important minister who kept Tuogu, he would never be released easily.

Then the only thing left is Li Daozong, who was born in the royal family.

Li Yu thought that he had a good idea. If he didn't want Li Shiji to make new contributions, there would only be one royal member left with the qualifications to lead troops.

Thinking of this, Li Yu's brain became hot, so he stood up three steps out of nowhere, grinned at Li Daozong who liked him very much, and then bowed down to pay homage to the emperor above.

Li Daozong on the opposite side was expressionless, and his heart was already full of joy, pain and happiness.

Li Daozong, who has matured into a man, watched all directions with his eyes and listened to all directions. With a glance from the corner of his eye, he knew what his young and vigorous nephew Li Yu wanted to do.

But I know the affairs of my own family, and many problems cannot be explained in a few words. The interior of the Li family's nine houses is as complicated as that of other aristocratic families.

After Li Shimin asked who should lead the troops to the expedition, the whole court was silent, none of them were three-year-old children, and they had passed their youthful years, and they all knew the situation of the court and the royal family, so no one would come and talk nonsense. !
When everyone's silence is golden, that stupid and rich God of Wealth ~ Founding County Duke stood up with a smile, which relieved many people and made the faction officials who were waiting to watch the excitement elated.

Li Yu's temperament is known to everyone in the world. If a person who is afraid of chaos in the world, gets hot-headed and urinates in this Tai Chi Hall, he probably dares to do so.

This guy is definitely going to cause trouble again, let's see how Li Shimin will deal with it this time?

When Li Shimin saw his eldest son stand up, his heart skipped a beat. Yesterday, he taught this bastard a lesson for a long time, telling him to go to court today, and he must be dumb, deaf, blind, and don't say a word.

I was afraid that he would mess around with no experience, how could he forget everything in the blink of an eye?

Li Shimin looked anxiously at Cheng Yaojin, hoping that this confidant general would quickly find a way to stop him.

Without Qin Qiong by Li Shimin's side, only Cheng Yaojin, the only important minister who can be completely relieved, is left.

Who is Cheng Yaojin?
Really a demon king?
wrong!
Big mistake!

Cheng Yaojin's family has been a general for generations, or is a feudal official. Cheng Yaojin has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child.

As Li Shimin's confidant general and minister, Cheng Yaojin knows his position well, not to mention his vast wisdom?
So since his debut, he has been playing the role of the devil in the world, spitting at people when he is wrong, and often messing around, regardless of black and white!

But that's what the situation requires, the real Cheng Yaojin is not much better than Qin Qiong.

When he saw Li Yu standing up and smiling at Li Daozong, he probably guessed it.

Seeing the emperor's eyes asking for help, Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to delay for a moment, and walked out immediately.

Before anyone could step out, the loud voice first shook the world.

"Report to Your Majesty, I recommend Li Yu, the founding county magistrate, to command the sixteen guards and horses. With the name and ability of the Living God of Wealth, he will definitely be able to crush the Xue Yantuo tribe and sweep the world..."

"Bullshit!"

"It's just nonsense!"

Li Shimin slapped the armrest, and looked at Cheng Yaojin and Li Yu with an angry face!

"Your Majesty, what I said is serious and not nonsense! Please learn from your Majesty!"

"Needless to say, the Manchu Dynasty possesses civil and military capabilities, and there are many outstanding generals. There are also many capable people who command the three armies. How can we get an inexperienced new general to lead the army?"

"Oh, what your majesty said makes sense, I admire you, how about I recommend my nephew Li Yu, bring some sons with me, and be a general who can charge into battle, what does your majesty think?"

"can."

"There are a lot of natives in the south of the Lingnan who refuse to accept Wang Hua. As the lord of a county, he really has to go to the battle to learn some practical experience and skills, so that he can go back and suppress the barbarians from all over the world. This matter is guaranteed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for agreeing to my perfect proposal. Oh, yes, Your Majesty, what do you think, since Your Majesty agrees that Li Yu will lead the troops to fight, why don't we arrange the soldiers we bring today? Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? Please allow Your Majesty."

Cheng Yaojin's disturbance made the stomachs of those factions who were waiting to watch the excitement feel so angry.

What kind of shit?Perfect proposal?Kill two birds with one stone?This Cheng Yaojin, the stupidest of the three idiots in Chang'an, doesn't follow the words at the beginning, and has a pile of fodder in his stomach. Does he still want to learn from a literati to pull the elegance?
Many civil servants started whispering, and some pointed and gestured to Cheng Yaojin and Li Yu.

It made Li Yu scratch his head. After all, it was his first time to go to court, and he was completely inexperienced...

Li Shimin originally wanted to scold the two of them for retreating, but when he heard Cheng Yaojin's words, he was also thinking about things quickly.

"Forget it, Aiqing, just talk about your thoughts and see if you can stand on your feet."

"According to the order."

"Your Majesty, I think that the son of my second brother's Zuowuwei Daying should be accompanied by his nephew Li Yu. After all, the son inherited his father's business and was passed down by the ancestors. Now everyone knows that my family My elder brother is seriously ill and cannot come out to lead the army to serve the king. I can't let Yiwei's son be free. Besides, my nephew has also worked in Zuowuwei before, so I am familiar with it, so I think he should come forward and take control temporarily. Please Your Majesty complete one or two."

"His Majesty!"

"My Majesty, Zuo Wuwei's battalion is the elite of the elite, how can you appoint new generals indiscriminately?"

As soon as Cheng Yaojingang finished speaking, the civil servants below immediately exploded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice before acting."

"I would like to report to His Majesty the Emperor that this is an important weapon of the country, the most important military and state affairs, but General Cheng treats it as a family matter. This is inappropriate. Your Majesty, please think twice."

"That's right, is he really regarded as the general of Qin and Cheng's family? What kind of son inherits his father's career? It's just nonsense."

"Isn't it true that you treat the court's camp as your own subordinates?"

Li Shimin looked down expressionlessly, and those who jumped out without exception were all members of the opposing factions, and they were the ones who tried their best to control the power of the guards in Qin Qiong's hands.

How could Li Shimin make these unscrupulous people get their wish?Immediately turned to look at the camp of generals;

"You generals, what do you think?"

Li Daozong is not a fool, his nephew Li Yuming is ready to recommend him to the top position, of course he has to vote peach for plum, right?So he was the first to stand up and support;

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, I don't think it's an issue outside the frame. The son of Zuo Wuwei's camp is brave and good at fighting, and he is invincible. If a stranger passes by, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lead him. Princess Li is familiar with Zuo Wuwei's camp. He is also the nephew of the general in charge of the headquarters, so there are many conveniences, please learn from His Majesty the Emperor."
