Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 372 New Gift
"The current situation on the peninsula is favorable to us, and it is a great opportunity to eliminate them. I have decided to send Xue Qing to lead the troops to aid Silla." Li Chengqian said to Xue Rengui.

He had just received another request from the Silla envoy to rescue Silla, and Li Chengqian agreed without hesitation, so he called Xue Rengui and planned to send him there.

"Your Majesty, don't worry! As long as the minister is here, I will guarantee that every inch of Silla will not be lost." Xue Rengui said.

"No! I don't want you to stop Silla from defending the land. I want you to kill the enemy, destroy Baekje, and then take Goguryeo."

"You lead the troops first, and I will send people to lead the troops again soon. This time, I will definitely solve the peninsula issue completely, fulfilling the late emperor's long-cherished wish." Li Chengqian said.

This time Li Chengqian called Xue Rengui here, not to ask him to help Silla repel the enemy, even if you repel the enemy once, as long as the opponent does not die, he will definitely come back again.

This is also a kind of trouble. The Tang army will withdraw from Silla, Goguryeo will launch an attack on Silla again, and Silla will ask Tang for help again.

After a long time, Datang couldn't stand such consumption and tossing. If we want to solve this problem once and for all, the best way is to completely eliminate it, so as to avoid future troubles forever.

"Your Majesty means that I want my ministers to destroy Baekje regardless of everything and cut off Goguryeo's arm. In this way, Silla can not only resolve the crisis, but also join forces with Cheng Mingzhen and Su Dingfang to fight back against Goguryeo."

"But lead the army, form a two-sided attack with them, and annihilate Goguryeo in one fell swoop." Xue Rengui said.

"That's right! That's exactly what I mean! You can lead the troops this time, and then I will let Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan and others send troops to help you." Li Chengqian said.

"My minister complies with the order!" Xue Rengui said.

"Okay! You go back and prepare first, and then the imperial edict and fish charm will be delivered to your residence." Li Chengqian said.

"No! My minister will leave!" Xue Rengui saluted and withdrew.

Whether Goguryeo can be eliminated depends on the results of this war against Baekje. In any case, Goguryeo must be eliminated anyway to eliminate hidden dangers in Liaodong.

Li Chengqian had already ordered craftsmen from all over the coast to build new warships, and now there should be a large number of warships available for use.

"How is the situation of warship construction in various places?" Li Chengqian asked Wang Quan after Xue Rengui left.

If you want to destroy Goguryeo, you must rely on water and land. Even if the army is hindered, you can use warships to reach the peninsula from the sea and attack Goguryeo.

If you want to attack from the sea, this warship is an indispensable means of transportation. At the same time, sea transportation is more convenient and cost-effective than land transportation.

"There are reports from all over the world, including the warships that are about to be completed. Datang now has more than [-] warships." Wang Quan replied.

"Then when will it be completely completed?" Li Chengqian said.

These warships must all be put on the battlefield, except for transporting soldiers, they are also used as transport ships to transport food and grass.

"It will take about half a month to complete the project." Wang Quan said.

"This doesn't work. Send a letter to them immediately and let them speed up the progress. The shorter the time, the better." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Wang Quan took the order and recruited an eunuch to handle the matter.

An eunuch came hurriedly from a distance, and saluted Li Chengqian: "Report to everyone! Grand Captain Sun Wuji begging to see you!"

"Let him go to Liangyi Hall and wait first, no matter what happens, let him wait first." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" The eunuch took the order to retreat.

Li Chengqian explained some things to Wang Quan for him to do, and after calling Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan and others to make arrangements, he got up and went back to Liangyi Hall to see Changsun Wuji.

This time to deal with the Goguryeo coalition forces, Liu Renyuan led the army, and Liu Rengui led 13000 soldiers from land and water in warships, and cooperated with Xue Rengui and others to eliminate the Baekje coalition forces.

"Veteran sees Your Majesty!" Seeing Li Chengqian coming back from the outside, Changsun Wuji hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Uncle, don't be too polite! Give me a seat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji thanked.

"Uncle is so anxious to find me, but what happened?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian recognized Changsun Wuji's ability very much. Among other things, Changsun Wuji was indeed a rare minister.

"Some time ago, Your Majesty did not order the veterans and others to revise the new rituals. Fortunately, the veterans did not disgrace their orders. It has already been completed! Please take a look at your Majesty." After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he handed over their revised new rituals to Li Chengqian for review.

"Uncle didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it, and this kind of thing, I remember that some time ago, the etiquette documents for the Zhenguan ceremony were not recorded, and there were many inappropriate places."

"Dr. Taichang Xiao Chucai and others thought that the ministers had no right to agree on the funeral ceremony. Xu Jingzong and others agreed very much, so they burned the article "National Shirts". Then I ordered my uncle and others to revise the new etiquette." Li Chengqian said.

Some time ago, the etiquette officer came to him and told him a lot about various etiquette. As a country of etiquette, Datang naturally paid great attention to etiquette.

Not long after the ceremony officer finished his statement, Dr. Taichang Xiao Chucai came to talk to him again.

Only then did Li Chengqian decide to revise and improve the etiquette in the Zhenguan period, and this important burden naturally fell into the hands of Changsun Wuji.

As the elder of the three dynasties, he has participated in the revision of laws and etiquette many times. He is the most suitable candidate, not one of them.

"That's right! It's because an article of "National T-shirts" was burned, so it lacked a fierce ritual. The six rituals lacked a fierce ritual, which became the five rituals."

"According to: Since ancient times, the crown, marriage, funeral, sacrifice, drinking in the village, and meeting have been regarded as the "six rituals", and the "five rituals" of auspiciousness, honor, guest, army, and evil."

"The "National Shirts" actually refers specifically to the funeral rites of the emperor and empress, and cannot include all the ceremonies." Changsun Wuji said.

"It is precisely because of this that I ordered my uncle and others to revise the new ceremony. I hope that after this revision, it will continue without revising again." Li Chengqian said.

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he carefully read the new gift handed over by Changsun Wuji.

"That's right! Uncle's revised new ceremony is detailed and clear, I think it's okay!" Li Chengqian said.

"Since Your Majesty has no objections! Then please Your Majesty issue an edict to promulgate this new ceremony to the world. From now on, all etiquette will be done according to the new ceremony!" Changsun Wuji said.

"I will issue an edict now!" Li Chengqian said.

Wang Quan hurriedly stepped forward to grind the ink and spread out the imperial decree. Li Chengqian dipped his pen in the ink and wrote on the imperial decree.

After writing it, hand it to Wang Quan and say, "Send it to Zhongshu."

"No!" Wang Quan took the imperial edict, turned around and ordered the eunuch to deliver it.

The emperor's edict must be signed by the officials of the three provinces, and the Ministry of Finance can only issue it after it has been reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Finance.

As long as one of the three provinces fails to pass, the edict will be invalid, and even if it is issued, it will be useless, and it will have no effect at all.

In order to better execute orders, the emperor would usually place his confidants in the three provinces, so that he would not be afraid of someone refuting his will.
