Man Tanghong

Chapter 222 Persecution
All the officials praised Li Xiuning's military attire, and they all praised Li Xiuning as a heroine of the Tang Dynasty, but they never mentioned about Li Xiuning leading the army.

There is no one who speaks for Li Xiuning.

In the end, it was Chai Shao who stood up and supported his daughter-in-law.

But it didn't work.

Because Li Yuan didn't want Li Xiuning to lead the army, just like he didn't want Li Shimin to lead the army.

After the news reached Wude Hall, Li Yuanji had no choice but to come forward in person to help Li Xiuning.

Li Yuanji rewarded Yin Ashu, who delivered the news for him, dragging his 'sick body', sitting on Baolu, and rushed to the Taiji Hall with the appearance of falling asleep anytime and anywhere.

When I arrived in front of the Taiji Hall, I saw thousands of Li Xiuning's trilogy, wearing armor and holding a blade, kneeling on the ground on one knee.

"His Royal Highness King Qi is here..."

The eunuch guarding the gate of the hall shouted, and Li Yuanji supported the treasure and drove into the Taiji Hall.

All the officials didn't understand why Li Yuanji appeared in the Taiji Hall, so they all looked at Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji didn't care about the eyes of the officials, but set his eyes on Li Xiuning, Ma Sanbao, Xiang Shanyi and others who were kneeling in the hall.

Seeing Li Yuanji's sickly look, Yu Wenbao was startled, and immediately stood up to walk towards Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji glanced at him, and said calmly, "Sit back."

Yu Wenbao hesitated for a moment, then sat back in a well-behaved manner.

Seeing this, all the officials in the hall were shocked.

Yu Wenbao didn't care about Chao Yi, Li Yuan, and the attitude of all the officials, so he also ran over to greet Li Yuanji.

This shows that in Yu Wenbao's heart, Li Yuanji is heavier than all of them, including Li Yuan.

Li Yuanji was able to stop Yuwenbao with a single sound, which meant that Li Yuanji held Yuwenbao firmly in his hand.

If other people under Li Yuanji's command were also firmly held by Li Yuanji.

Then Li Yuanji can be called the king of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, Li Yuanji has power, soldiers, and money in his hands, and if he has a group of generals who obey his orders, then idlers can't do anything to him at all.

Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu looked at each other with a hint of shock in their eyes.

Because they discovered that Li Yuanji had become the tyrant of the Tang Dynasty before they knew it and when they were caught off guard.

Let Li Yuanji continue to develop, and Li Yuanji is likely to keep pace with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

"Yuanji, why are you here?"

Li Yuan didn't care about what happened between Li Yuanji and Yu Wenbao at all. The moment he saw Li Yuanji, his face changed drastically. Regardless of his appearance, he hurried down the imperial steps and walked a few minutes in front of the hall.

"You are not recuperating in the palace, what are you doing here?"

Li Yuan stared at Li Yuanji with concern and asked.

Li Yuanji said with a 'weak' smile: "I heard that there are small thieves in the southeast road, who offended my Tang Dynasty. I want to lead my troops to go out to teach the little thieves a lesson, and let them know what is called the Heavenly Power of the Tang Dynasty.

So I came here to challenge my father. "

Li Yuan was touched at first, and then he put on a straight face, "Father knows what you mean. But you are sick, so it's not suitable for you to go on an expedition, so don't make trouble."

Li Yuanji said confidently: "Although I am sick and cannot personally lead troops to fight, I can still command thousands of troops and teach those little thieves how to behave."

Li Yuan's eyes widened all of a sudden, "It's not like my Tang Dynasty is empty, and it's not your turn to lead the troops out yet."

Li Yuanji was 'awake', and said with regret: "So, the father of the candidate for conquest of Fu Gongyou has been decided?"

Li Yuan really wanted to say no, but Li Yuanji looked like he wanted to go to the battlefield sick, so he couldn't say it.

After all, Li Yuanji's stubborn temper came up and he dared to confront him.

If he said no, Li Yuanji insisted on going, and he couldn't forcefully stop him.

Li Yuan subconsciously glanced at Li Xiuning who was kneeling in the hall, gritted his teeth and said, "It's settled, it's your sister."

This is Li Yuan being pushed out of the shelves.

Li Xiuning immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Thank you, father, for your success."

All the officials looked at me one by one, and I looked at you, and there was no other expression except a strange look.

Li Yuan and Li Yuanji's father and son were fighting, and it was a father-son situation. Even if they had something to say, it was not good to speak at this time.

Li Yuanji achieved his goal, but did not leave, but stared at Li Yuan suspiciously and said, "Father, didn't you always dislike letting my sister lead the army?
Why did you switch sex this time? "

Before Li Yuan could open his mouth, Li Yuanji lingered suspiciously around Li Yuan and Li Xiuning, and said again: "Could it be that you deliberately lied to me by acting to prevent me from going out?"

Li Yuan stared straight, and shouted: "How could my father lie to you?"

After saying this, in order to win the trust of Li Yuanji, he looked at Baiguan and asked, "You guys said, did I just decide that Pingyang will lead the army?"

All the officials exchanged glances for a while, and spoke one after another, testifying for Li Yuan.

They could see that Li Yuan had been cornered by Li Yuanji, and Li Xiuning had no choice but to let Li Xiuning lead the army.

Since Li Yuan had already decided that Li Xiuning would go on the expedition, they had nothing to say, they just had to follow Li Yuan's words.

Although they didn't want to see a woman, relying on her great military achievements, standing in the court hall and serving as their minister, they also knew that Li Yuan had no other choice but Li Xiuning.

Rather than serving as ministers with women, they don't want to see Fu Gongyou left alone, and then sit in the southeast road, becoming a big problem for the Tang Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, the saint's mouth contains the constitution of heaven, so how can he deceive you. Your highness is sick, so you should go back to the Hall of Wude to recuperate as soon as possible, so that the saint will not worry about you."

After the officials finished speaking, Pei Ji helped Li Yuan persuade Li Yuanji very intimately.

Li Yuanji said with a look of 'regret': "Since my father chose my sister as the commander, then I will resign first."

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he bowed to Li Yuan, and with a long sigh, ordered the escort to carry him away from the Tai Chi Hall.

The reason why he forced Li Yuan to continue to express his position after Li Yuan had decided that Li Xiuning would lead the army to go out was because he was afraid that Li Yuan would go back on his word.

What Pei Ji said, "How can I deceive you if you hold Tianxian?", in his eyes, it was bullshit.

If Li Yuan really couldn't lie, Li Shimin would have become the crown prince long ago, so there's no need to bother planning for the position of crown prince?

As soon as Li Yuanji left, Li Yuan returned to his throne with some helplessness.

Now that it has been decided that Li Xiuning will lead the army, and Li Yuanji forced all the officials to express their views together, it is hard to go back on their word.

In order to ensure that Li Xiuning's campaign against Fu Gongyou is safe.

Li Yuan immediately appointed Li Jing as the former commander of the army, Li Daozong as the commander of the rear army, Huang Junhan as the commander of the left army, and Luo Shixin as the commander of the right army.

Send out [-] elite soldiers from the twelve guards of Chang'an, and [-] soldiers and horses from the Jingzhou General Manager's Mansion, a total of [-] soldiers and horses, to conquer Fu Gongyou.

In addition, the soldiers and horses of the states and roads around the southeast road were also controlled by Li Xiuning in the war.

Li Yuan paid a lot of attention to the arrangement of recruits.

On the bright side, none of the members of the Tiance Mansion were selected, and none of the troops controlled by the Tiance Mansion were dispatched.

Instead, they mobilized the soldiers and horses of the twelve guards, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou General Manager's Mansion under Li Xiaogong's command.

The soldiers and horses of the twelve guards were transferred and they were cleaning up.

However, it is a bit intriguing to deploy the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou General Manager's Mansion under the control of Li Xiaogong.

Li Yuan obviously took Qu Tutong's words to heart, so he began to weaken Li Xiaogong's power.

After Li Xiuning received his order, he rushed to Wude Hall without thinking about going back to his residence.

Seeing Li Yuanji, he said with a bitter face: "It's useless to be sister, I still need you to go to the Tai Chi Hall to make a fuss."

Li Yuanji had arranged everything for her properly, but she still failed to win the chance to go out from Li Yuan's hands.

If Li Yuanji hadn't stepped forward to force Li Yuan, she would never have had the chance to go on this expedition.

Li Yuanji asked Li Xiuning to sit down, sat cross-legged on the couch, and said with emotion: "It's not that sister is useless, it's that father doesn't want you to show your face."

Whether Li Xiuning can go to war, the question has never been on Li Xiuning, but on Li Yuan.

It was Li Yuan who cared about the feelings of the officials, so he didn't want Li Xiuning to appear in the court with his military merits, and be a minister with the officials.

It was also because Li Yuan cared too much about Li Xiuning's daughter and didn't want Li Xiuning to show her face.

In the eyes of most people in this era, a woman who can take care of her husband, teach her children, and grow her family business is a good woman.

Like Li Xiuning, who, as a daughter, goes to the battlefield to fight, that is called deviant.

That's why Li Yuan didn't want Li Xiuning to show his face.

"Maybe after this war, my father will change my mind."

It's not good for Li Xiuning to tell Li Yuanji what's wrong with Li Yuanji, so she can only comfort herself with such words.

Li Yuanji pretended not to hear Li Xiuning's self-deceiving words, and said to Li Xiuning with a smile: "I hope my sister will go here and return with a big victory."

Li Xiuning nodded solemnly.

Li Yuanji accompanied Li Xiuning to analyze the situation in Dongnan Road for a while, and sent Li Xiuning away from Wude Hall.

After Li Xiuning left, Li Yuanji wrote several letters and sent them to Su Dingfang, Kan Leng, and Xue Wanshu in Hebei Road.

Whether it's Su Dingfang or Kan Leng, it's not long since they were demoted to Datang, and they don't have much sense of belonging to Datang.

If Li Xiuning handed them over to the marching chiefs under his command, if the marching chiefs didn't have the transfer order written by Li Xiuning himself, they might not be able to move them.

So Li Yuanji had to write a letter in advance to explain something.

When Li Yuanji sent someone to deliver the letter, Fang Xuanling, Qu Tutong and others rushed to Xiuwen Hall with the news of Li Xiuning's expedition.

Lying on the precious bed, Li Shimin was proofreading the books sorted out by Yu Shinan and others, and at the same time flipping through the actions of Xu Jingzong reported by Baiqi under his command.
