The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1160 The reason why Goguryeo must be destroyed
"Back when the Tang Dynasty raised its banner against the Sui Dynasty, it occupied justice. When the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, it pacified the four directions against the king. It also held the banner of morality. Only when the world is unified can the great rule begin." Fang Xuanling also stood up: "Therefore , I feel that what Xuanhou said is reasonable."

His Majesty Li Er nodded, and then looked at Cheng Yaojin: "Cheng Zhijie, usually when the court says there is a battle to be fought, you are the happiest. Why don't you talk today?"

Cheng Yaojin cupped his hands and stood up: "Going back to Your Majesty, I also think that what Xuanhou said is reasonable, but once I stand up, it is inevitable that some people will say that I am helping my relatives and not helping my relatives."

It is well known that the Cheng family has a good relationship with the Xuan family, so Cheng Yaojin will not stand up and talk about matters that can be finalized, so as to save some people from taking this matter to their grievances.

Xuan Shijing was successful at a young age, and the people at Yushitai have been staring at him for not a day or two. Even Cheng Yaojin, because of helping Xuan Shijing, was also targeted by Yushi. Grandpa's excitement?

His Majesty Li Er smiled, and didn't say anything more on this issue. Cheng Yaojin was partial to Xuan Shijing, how could he not know?

"Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing listened to the order."

"Chen is here!"

Xuan Shijing cupped his hands and stepped forward.

"Order Xue Rengui, the commander of the Liaodong march, to be the chief commander of the Hebei Road march, to be the general of the town army, and Xuan Shijing to be the deputy commander, and to be the general of Huaihua. From now on, he will go to Liaodong to preside over the affairs of Liaodong."

"I obey the order." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands in response.

"Dongshanhou, for this trip to Liaodong, I delegate power to Xue Rengui and you. I hope you two can give me a satisfactory answer. If not, you can come back and punish yourself."

"Minister, I would like to issue a military order!" Xuan Shijing said solemnly.

Today's Xuan Shijing is no longer a boy, and he must be able to take responsibility when he should be responsible in the court. If he was young and worried that Mu Xiu would be destroyed by the forest wind, that would be normal, but at this age, Having a family, becoming a family, the next step is to start a career.

His Majesty Li Er understands his thoughts, and he also understands His Majesty Li Er's thoughts about Liaodong. Here is the connection between the monarch and his ministers, so His Majesty Li Er can delegate the affairs of Liaodong to Xuan Shijing and Liaodong. Xue Rengui and Jin Yiwei are all in Liaodong. What His Majesty Li Er did not say in the court was that Jin Yiwei provoked this incident in Pyongyang City.

Regarding Liaodong, His Majesty Li Er has no patience to procrastinate any longer.

Furthermore, if someone else is sent, not to mention whether Jin Yiwei can command Jin Yiwei like a messenger, Xue Rengui and Jin Yiwei's arrangements in Liaodong and their strategies will inevitably be announced to the public. His Majesty Li Er is also a person who wants to save face , Xue Rengui and Xuan Shijing's arrangements in Liaodong were all agreed by him. Since Liaodong was started by His Majesty Li Er's personal conquest, and the arrangement of the two in Liaodong was a turning point, it is natural that Xuan Shijing and Xue Rengui will end it now.

"Okay!" His Majesty Li Er replied, "In that case, I will entrust Qing with full authority over Liaodong. Dear Qing, what else do you want to say?"

His Majesty Li Er glanced at all the ministers, his eyes were so sharp that those who forced him did not dare to look at him. All the ministers in the court looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they wanted to say something, under the oppression of His Majesty Li Er's gaze, no one Dare to speak.

Everyone knows the current battle situation in Liaodong. This is a mouthful of overcooked meat. It can be swallowed with a single bite.
Now, let Xuan Shijing and Xue Rengui take all of them. Those who are close to Xuan Shijing on weekdays can drink some soup, but those who have offended him before still want to drink soup?Not bad for not putting the basin on your head.

"So, this matter is settled like this. After retiring from the court, the three provinces will draw up an order to give purple clothes and golden jade belts." His Majesty Li Er concluded.

"Yes." All the ministers responded.

The positions of Xue Rengui's Zhenjun General, Xuan Shijing's Huaihua General and Marching Chief are all temporary. After the battle is over, the court will take them back. Otherwise, I really think that with Xue Rengui's qualifications, he can be a top-ranking second rank Even if Xuan Shijing once made meritorious service in Liaodong, he still can't reach the military position of the third rank.

After retiring from the imperial court, Xuan Shijing went to the Ganlu Hall in a very sensible manner. His Majesty Li Er would definitely explain himself to him when such a big matter was settled, so he waited obediently in the Ganlu Hall.

Sure enough, when Li Er Majesty came to Ganlu Hall, he saw Xuan Shijing waiting here, with a gratified expression on his face.

"You're a smart kid, why, do you have a bottom line in your heart?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Too much." Xuan Shijing smiled: "Speaking of Liaodong, no one knows it better than the minister. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and there is no difference between three years and ten years."

At the beginning, Xuan Shijing was almost shot into a hedgehog on the Liaodong battlefield. This was his enmity with the Goguryeo people. Naturally, he had to avenge it. Moreover, Xuan Shijing had been stationed in the Liaodong area as a vanguard for a long time. After the army withdrew to Chang'an , Xue Rengui and Xuan Shijing also communicated with each other. The garrison in Liaodong and the release of Gao Huanquan to Anshicheng were all Xuan Shijing's suggestions. He said that Xuan Shijing knew Liaodong and Goguryeo best. Not too much.

"It turns out that you are still thinking about the one-shot revenge in Anshi City, but Yang Wanchun died long ago." His Majesty Li Er said with a smile.

"That's not a one-shot feud. There are countless ministers. Moreover, Yang Wanchun is dead, but Quangai Suwen is still there, and the Goguryeo people are still there, so is the enmity of the minister. Liaodong is the land of my Central Plains dynasty. The Goguryeo people forcibly occupied it, and the minister followed your majesty to recover the old land, and was hurt by the Goguryeo people. This is the hatred of the country and the family." Xuan Shijing said: "Whether it is from the Tang Dynasty or from the humble minister, Goguryeo must be destroyed. "

"You are telling the truth." His Majesty Li Er smiled: "The truth has also been spoken in my heart. Goguryeo is not destroyed, and I will never be at ease in the northeast direction. When Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian destroyed the Northern Zhou Dynasty, except Yang Jianzhi In addition, Goguryeo has also been taking the opportunity to encroach on the west. The Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty. Gao Baoning, the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty, led the army to flee, and has been fighting against the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After Yang Jian replaced the Great Sui, Gao Baoning continued to fight against the Great Sui. Power has always been the heart disease of the Sui Dynasty. Among them, Gaogouli has always supported Gao Baoning vigorously, and even Gaoguli King Pingyuan Taiwang personally led troops to rescue Gao Baoning with the Turks and Khitans to disturb the muddy water in the Central Plains. This is enough to prove , the Goguryeo people have been eyeing the Central Plains from the northeast, and if they have the opportunity, they will definitely erode the Central Plains like the pack of wolf cubs on the grassland."
