The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 941 Xue Rengui Asks Ji Xuan Shijing
"Go back to Lord Hou, I'm waiting for Lord Hou in the hall now." said the concierge.

As usual, the concierge would not keep people. Today is because everyone in the house knows that his Lord Marquis will definitely come back early when he attends a banquet in the palace for the first time. In addition, Xue Rengui told the concierge that he can wait, so the concierge did this. Reported to the butler Zhong Zishuo, and let him in.

"En, I see." After speaking, Xuan Shijing walked towards the house.

After returning from Liaodong, I have never seen Xue Rengui again. When the army withdrew, Xue Rengui was left behind by His Majesty Li Er in Liaodong. Unexpectedly, he was dispatched back during the Chinese New Year. This time Xue Rengui returned to Chang'an, it seems that he is going to get promoted and make a fortune .

In the hall, Xue Rengui sat on a chair on one side, and the servants of the house brought cakes and tea.

"Brother Xue, come and stay safe." Xuan Shijing walked into the hall with a smile on his face.

"Hou Ye." Seeing Xuan Shijing coming in, Xue Rengui quickly got up and bowed his hands in salute.

"Brother Xue, you don't have to be so polite. I wonder when Brother Xue will return to Chang'an?" Xuan Shijing walked to a chair beside him, sat down and asked.

"I just arrived in Chang'an the day before yesterday, and settled down in Chang'an City. I guess I will stay in Chang'an City most of the time in the future." Xue Rengui said.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty ordered you to be called back. How about it, you should be promoted." Xuan Shijing joked.

Speaking of this, Xue Rengui was a little embarrassed. When Liaodong attacked Liaodong City, Xue Rengui showed the limelight in front of His Majesty Li Er, and then in the battle of Anshicheng, he shot an arrow at the enemy general. Taking the head of a general in the army left a deep impression on His Majesty Li Er, so no matter whether he rewarded the generals after the end of the Liaodong War or rewarded the generals at the meeting of the Yuan Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er did not leave Xue Rengui behind. .

"From General Zhonglang, who led the army on the right, to General Zuowuwei, he will still return to Liaodong to lead the army in the next year," Xue Rengui said.

Xue Rengui's promotion speed is really fast enough. In just one year, from an ordinary soldier to being able to enter the court of the Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as a lot of accumulation.

The people His Majesty Li Er likes are generally not too bad luck, let alone Xue Rengui is a person with real skills, his position will not stop there.

"Well, the military always pays attention to seniority. Your Majesty asked you to lead troops in Liaodong. That's good. It's good for you and not bad for you." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Now there are enough nobles in the Tang Dynasty. The group of nobles that Li Yuan promised to go out at the founding of the country are old-school nobles, accounting for the majority in the court, and people like Cheng Yaojin are new-style nobles. Gui, he came up step by step by relying on military exploits. If Xue Rengui wants the title in the future, he can only rely on actual wars. Now that the Tang Dynasty is stable, where is the source of the wars?One is the sixteen countries in the Northwest and Western Regions, and the other is Liaodong. If you push back and be prepared for danger in times of peace, then there is Tubo.

Xue Rengui nodded thoughtfully.

Xuan Shijing single-handedly promoted him, saying this, he definitely wouldn't lie to him, and there was no need to lie to him.

"Goguryeo Quangai Suwen is ambitious, and Liaodong will not be peaceful for too long. As long as Quangai Suwen lives for a day, there will be no less friction between Goguryeo and Liaodong. In addition, Silla and Baekje, and across the sea Looking at the Wa country, the situation in the northeast direction is not simple. If you want to gain a foothold in Liaodong, you have to study the relationship between them carefully, as a way to consume them, and in the end, completely include that place The territory of the Tang Dynasty, in this way, it is unstoppable to confer titles to princes and ministers." Xuan Shijing analyzed.

"Master Hou thinks it's feasible?" Xue Rengui asked: "Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty does not have many troops in Liaodong, and the ministers in the court think that there is no need to place too many troops in Liaodong now."

"Your Majesty's personal conquest is determined by the first battle. Many people feel that Goguryeo has been scared by the Tang Dynasty. Even Baekje, because the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Liaodong, withdrew its troops from the occupied Silla city. It can't be said that they don't understand martial arts. It can only be said that there are not many people in the court who support Goguryeo this time except for the generals. If it weren't for His Majesty's tough attitude and the Household Department's hard-to-speak, I am afraid this battle would be difficult to win. .” Xuan Shijing said.

"The situation in the court is complicated. It seems that His Majesty asked me to lead the army in Liaodong, which is really a good job." Xue Rengui laughed.

Most of the achievements of Xue Rengui in the previous life were established in the "magical land" of Liaodong, but there is one thing Xuan Shijing didn't like very much, that is Xue Rengui's kindness to those Goguryeo people.

Benevolent government is a good thing, but for a despicable nation, no amount of kindness can satisfy their greedy heart.

"There are good and bad, you can't talk too much." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "After all, the king's life will not be accepted. In the future, when you have a heavy soldier in your hand, even if you want to avoid it, you can't avoid it." gone."

"Is there any way?" Xue Rengui asked.

"Only for me personally, I don't have a good impression of Goguryeo and the land of Sanhan. If I lead troops, I will never be merciless. Throughout history, this kind of foreign race can only be saved from a hundred years of troubles if it is disabled or wiped out. , and implement benevolent government, once Liaodong changes in the future, it will be time for them to bite back."

"Hou Ye means to deal with Quangai Suwen? Can the court agree?" Xue Rengui asked.

"When you held a heavy army in Liaodong, and your military achievements were world-class, even if you slaughtered the entire Goguryeo, you would be fine. There is a word called self-defilement." Xuan Shijing said: "Your Majesty will not be afraid of your achievements." , the ones who are really jealous and jealous are some nobles in the court."

Xue Rengui fell into deep thought when he heard this.

Now that His Majesty is in power, the court is fairly clear, but who can think of what will happen in the future, what Hou Ye said to himself now is something to save his life in the future.

"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Xue Rengui stood up from his seat, and saluted Xuan Shijing respectfully.

"Brother Xue doesn't have to be like this." Xuan Shijing stood up and helped Xue Rengui up: "Brother Xue is a man of great talent, and he was just dormant in the shallows before."

Xuan Shijing knew that meeting Xue Rengui was only this time within the past two years. After the first day, Xue Rengui would stay in Chang'an for a day or two at most before leaving for Liaodong. See, it's hard.

For Xue Rengui, Xuan Shijing always had a different feeling in his heart. The famous general of the Tang Dynasty was a famous general who was "raised by himself". This feeling is a bit subtle, so for Xue Rengui, Xuan Shijing is willing to help him .

Moreover, helping him would most likely affect the situation in Goguryeo, which Xuan Shijing would like to see.
