Chapter 114
"Okay! Since none of the lovers have any objections, the verdict for King Yanqi's family is to forgive their crimes."

"Send them to Chang'an, choose a good mansion, let them live there, and confer the official position of King Yanqi, and his son will enter the East Palace as a servant." As soon as Li Erjin opened his mouth, the matter of King Yanqi was settled.

It sounds good to say that the emperor's kindness is mighty, but in fact it is just a different way to control King Yanqi and send King Yanqi's son into the palace.

"Your Majesty! What official position should King Yanqi confer?" Chu Suiliang asked.

Li Er just said that he would give King Yanqi an official position, but he didn't specify what official position he would give, and what rank?Li Er didn't say a word about whether he was to be a casual official or something else.

"As for the official position to be conferred, this matter will be handed over to the prince. Now the prince is supervising the country for me." Li Erdao.

Li Chengqian just rolled his eyes, he is the supervisor of the country, but the one who is in charge of all this now is you, the emperor of the empire.

Since Li Er said to hand it over to the prince, Chu Suiliang said nothing more.

"Let Guo Xiaoke hand over King Yanqi's family to the Luoyang Mansion for the time being. This time Guo Xiaoke has made a contribution, and I want to reward him." Li Erdao.

"No!" The servant ordered to retreat.

The topic of King Yanqi's family is just a small episode. After talking about this small episode, let's return to the topic, and everyone will continue to discuss the crusade against Goguryeo.

"Goguryeo must be crusaded. There is no doubt about it. You have been discussing for a long time, but you have not seen any results. Is it possible that a small Goguryeo will scare you." dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty! We don't know much about the situation in Liaodong. The crusade against Goguryeo is no different than fighting in the Central Plains. We must be careful!"

"Think about Emperor Yang of Sui. Didn't he attack Goguryeo in the first place that led to his final failure? Your Majesty should know the final outcome better than anyone else." Changsun Wuji said.

It is precisely because of the lessons learned by Emperor Sui Yang that they will be careful, careful and careful.

The strength of the Sui Dynasty at the beginning was not as weak as that of the Tang Dynasty now, so what happened to the result, it was not a failure.

If it weren't for the loss of soldiers and generals in Goguryeo, which caused complaints from the soldiers and generals, how could Yang Guang be forced to death by Yu Wenhuaji.

The Sui Dynasty may not perish so easily.

"Emperor Sui Yang, this cousin of mine can be regarded as a man with great foresight, but unfortunately, he is so rejoicing and supercilious."

"He thinks that the people are insignificant, and they don't pose any threat to his country. Since ancient times, no one who has captured the world is not from a noble family."

"As long as he wins over the nobles, he can sit back and relax. Look at the people around him, especially Yu Wenhua and his official background. Yang Guang treats him with great favor."

"But so what in the end? Didn't he die at the hands of these favored ministers, extorting and extorting violently, causing the people all over the world to boil with resentment?"

"It finally led to the end of the Sui Dynasty just after recovering. Unfortunately, the splendid country conquered by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was defeated by Yang Guang."

"I, the Tang Dynasty, replaced it. If Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty knew about it, I don't know how he would feel about it. Now, my crusade against Goguryeo is based on righteousness and disloyalty. I will surely win the victory." Li Erdao.

Li Er has already talked about this point, even if he objected, it would be useless, agree!They have something in mind.

Disagree!The emperor didn't listen to them, and they were in a dilemma, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Chengqian felt that he should do something at this time.

"Father, the former governor of Yizhou, Zheng Yuan, is now serving as an official at home. My son heard that he once followed Emperor Yang of Sui to crusade against Goguryeo."

"Zheng Yuan knows more about the situation of Goguryeo than we do. Why don't you summon him to Luoyang and ask him about his strategy to defeat Goguryeo?" Li Chengqian said.

"What Chengqian said is very true! With Zheng Yuan, a veteran who is familiar with the situation in Goguryeo, as a staff member, the crusade against Goguryeo will be easier, and the odds of winning will increase by a few percent." Li Er nodded, looked at Zhangsun Wuji and continued.

"Wuji, I will leave this matter to you. Don't lose your courtesy. I will definitely invite Zheng Yuan to Luoyang." Li Erdao.

Changsun Wuji didn't think so. Although Zheng Yuan was a veteran minister, he didn't need him as a Situ to condescend to invite him.

"Your Majesty! Why bother to send me to invite Zheng Yuan? You only need an edict from His Majesty to summon Zheng Yuan to Luoyang." Changsun Wuji said.

"Alright!" Li Er said lightly, he planned to take this opportunity to ease the relationship between Changsun Wuji and his group and the former court officials, but Changsun Wuji didn't appreciate it.

People don't appreciate it, so Li Er can't say much.

"Father, to defeat Goguryeo's ministers, I have to recommend another person to my father." Li Chengqian said.

"I don't know who the prince wants to recommend? If it can't be used, I think the prince should forget it!" Li Er said, he does not accept incompetent people under his command.

It can't be because the other party is recommended by the prince, he will accept it.

"Father, you can rest assured that this person will definitely be a great help to your father's crusade against Goguryeo." Li Chengqian smiled, and he had confidence in Cheng Mingzhen.

"Oh! I really want to know what kind of person it is that can make the crown prince so confident that he can help me defeat Goguryeo." Li Er looked at the expression on Li Chengqian's face.

He rarely saw such a firm and confident expression on Li Chengqian's face, which aroused his interest in the person Li Chengqian was talking about.

"This man is the father of Cheng Wuting, the governor of my Zuo Nei, Cheng Mingzhen, the governor. This man is good at using soldiers. If the emperor can use him as a general, the crusade against Goguryeo will increase the chances of victory." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian had his own considerations in recommending Cheng Mingzhen at this time.

Anyway, I have already recommended a Zheng Yuan, and I don't care about recommending another Cheng Mingzhen.

As long as it is beneficial to the crusade against Goguryeo, Li Er will accept it without hesitation.

"I do know this Cheng Mingzhen. He used to be Dou Jiande's subordinate, and later returned to the Tang Dynasty. He once followed me in the crusade against Liu Heita, and Liu Heita fled to Turkic as a result."

"Later, Liu Heita came back with great momentum. There were many rebels who responded to Liu Heita. The late emperor ordered Chao Wang Yuanji to lead the army to attack Liu Heita."

"Unexpectedly, Yuanji was defeated. Later, the late emperor asked Prince Yin Jiancheng to attack Liu Heita, so he defeated Liu Heita and captured him alive."

"I remember, Cheng Mingzhen was among them!" Li Er said.

"That's right! It's been Wude for five years! At that time, Prince Yin Jiancheng planned to take the opportunity to win Cheng Mingzhen into his use, but it's a pity! Cheng Mingzhen didn't appreciate Jiancheng's kindness and refused Jiancheng's solicitation." Changsun Wuji said.

"Since the crown prince recommends Cheng Mingzhen, let's issue an edict to let Cheng Mingzhen and Zheng Yuan come to Luoyang." Li Erdao.

"No!" Wang Yuan took the order.
