Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 400 Jin Famin

In order to better combat the Baekje rebels and appease the survivors of Baekje, Li Chengqian not only asked Liu Rengui to lead the army, but also asked Fu Yulong to accompany him to Baekje.

At the same time, he also issued an edict to King Jin Chunqiu of Silla, asking him to cooperate with Liu Rengui and others to solve the problem of Baekje as soon as possible.

"Recently, the internal politics of my Tang Dynasty is clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no natural disasters. The world is a scene of prosperity."

"The imperial court has you virtuous ministers assisting me. I have nothing to worry about inside the Tang Dynasty. The only thing that worries me is the external problems of the Goguryeo and Baekje rebellions." Li Chengqian said.

"Nowadays the world of Tang Dynasty is full of prosperity. This is due to His Majesty's merits in governing the world, and only a wise king like Your Majesty can create such a prosperous world." Xu Jingzong took the opportunity to flatter him.

"Ha! Ha!" Li Chengqian laughed loudly after hearing this: "Xu Qing, as long as you can talk, the world today is not a prosperous age, at most it is governing the world. To reach a prosperous age, there is still a long way to go." Way to go."

Li Chengqian also hoped that the world he ruled would enter a prosperous age, which meant that Tang Dynasty had become the pinnacle of the world, an existence that no one could surpass.

Whether it is military, economic, cultural and other aspects have reached the peak, that is the prosperous age.

"I don't know how Liu Rengui is on the land of Baekje now? Has the problem of Baekje been solved? You are all prime ministers, but have you received a report from Baekje?" Li Chengqian asked.

Now that we have talked about the issue of Baekje, it is natural to talk about the current situation of Baekje.

Recently, Li Chengqian was not in Chang'an, but went to other places to play, and pushed all the affairs of the court to the prime ministers.

If there is any military report in Baekje, it will be put in the office of the prime ministers as soon as possible, and they will deal with it at their discretion before deciding whether to report to the emperor.

"Your Majesty! The ministers have just received Baekje's military report and are about to report it to His Majesty!" Li Ke came out and said.

"What did the military newspaper say? Tell me carefully." Li Chengqian said.

"When Liu Rengui arrived in Baekje, he joined forces with Liu Renyuan and fought off the rebels who helped Yu Fuxin and Daochen many times. They have recovered most of the land occupied by the rebels."

"Fuyu Fuxin called himself General Shuangcen, and Daochen called himself the leading general. They recruited disciples with great momentum."

"The rebel army led by Fuyu Fushin and others defeated the Silla king's general Jinqin in Gusi, and the Silla army was defeated. Jinqin led the remnant troops back from Gelingdao to Silla, and never dared to appear in the land of Baekje again. Come on." Li Ke said.

"These Silla people are really useless, and they were emboldened by a group of mobs."

"That's right, the matter of Baekje, it seems that I, Datang, should solve it by myself, and it seems that Silla really can't count on it." The ministers talked a lot, and they all looked down on the cowardly Silla people.

Li Chengqian frowned, because Silla was afraid of the Baekje rebels and did not dare to come out, or pretended to be afraid, so the purpose of preserving its strength was to let the Tang army and the Baekje rebels fight and consume the vital strength of both sides.

Li Chengqian was more inclined to the latter. According to later history books, Silla dared to compete with the Tang army, and finally won all the areas south of the Datong River in Baekje and Goguryeo.

The Tang Dynasty and Silla took the Daedong River as the boundary and ruled by the river.

Dare to fight against the hard steel of the Tang army who destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo, how could they be afraid of the Baekje rebels? Silla is really a wolf ambition.

"Presumptuous! As courtiers, how can you talk nonsense in front of His Majesty? How decent is this!" Seeing that Li Chengqian hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Ke turned around and scolded the ministers who chewed their tongues.

Following Li Ke's scolding, the hall suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to whisper anymore.

"Regardless of the reason, it is wrong for Silla to be timid and stagnant. It is wrong to issue another edict ordering Silla King Jin Chunqiu to send troops to Baekje again to assist Liu Rengui and others to put down the rebellion." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty! The King of Silla, Jin Chunqiu, has passed away. I am afraid that he will not be able to send troops according to the order. Please also issue an order to let the current King of Silla send troops." A minister stood up and said.

King Jin Chunqiu of Silla had just passed away not long ago, and his body might not have rotted yet. Now Jin Chunqiu's son, Jin Famin, is in charge of the Silla family.

"When did Jin Chunqiu die? Why don't I have any memory?" Li Chengqian asked.

Since ancient times, when the king of the vassal state passed away, he would send envoys to the imperial capital to report the funeral to the emperor, and request the emperor to canonize the new king, that is, the heir designated by the previous king.

These procedures must be approved by Li Chengqian, that is to say, if Jin Chunqiu really passed away, it is impossible for Li Chengqian not to know.

"In September of this year, Silla announced that the King of Silla, Jin Chunqiu, had passed away, and that the son of Silla, Kim Famin, would succeed him. I implore His Majesty to issue an imperial edict for the canonization." Li Ke said.

"Since Jin Chunqiu is dead, let Jin Famin send troops."

"Some time ago, I appointed Ren Yaxiang as the chief marcher of the Weijiang Road, Qibi He Li as the chief marcher of the Liaodong Road, and Su Dingfang as the chief marcher of the Pyongyang Road. Together with Xiao Siye and Zhu Hu Bingfan's 35 troops, they marched side by side by land and water."

"How is the battle going now?" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty! Our army met the Goguryeo army on the Weijiang River. Xing Guogong Su Dingfang defeated the Goguryeo army. He won many battles and won many victories within a day." Li Ke said.

"This is a good thing. It shows that the eradication of Goguryeo is not far away! The current Goguryeo is already a grasshopper after autumn, and it will not be able to jump for a few days!"

"Where are Su Dingfang and the others now? Have they been driven to the city of Pyongyang?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes, Lord Xing has now led an army to besiege Pyongyang City. I believe that Pyongyang City will be captured soon, and King Gaozang will be captured alive and presented to His Majesty." Li Ke said.

"Pyongyang is the capital of Goguryeo. How can it be so easy to fight? I'm afraid the siege will end in vain." Li Chengqian shook his head and said, he disagreed with Li Ke's statement.

Even if Su Dingfang was a master who destroyed the Three Kingdoms and captured their masters alive, he may not be able to break through Goguryeo's Pyongyang City.

Everyone didn't say much on this topic. The battle ahead is not for those above the court, they can criticize it at will.

"Okay! Let's not talk about this, let's talk about other things! Has anything interesting happened in the capital recently?" Li Chengqian said.

"Nothing special has happened in the capital recently, everything is as usual." Li Xiang said.

"My son heard that sixteen countries including Tocharo, Heda, Kubin, and Persia have expressed their gratitude to the emperor for their kindness." Li Jue said.

"It's not a year or a year, why did the sixteen countries, such as Tocharia and Persia, show their gratitude? Did I give them any favors?" Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.

"Your Majesty! I still remember that I issued an edict to sixteen countries, including Tocharian and Persia, to set up eight governor's mansions, 76 states, 110 counties, and 120 military mansions." Li Ke said.
