Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 851 The Royal Expedition! (Second more)

Fang Xuanling knew that this time was different from the last time. If His Royal Highness was there, he would definitely be able to make a final decision!

"Oh? Xuan Ling's thoughts, why don't you talk about it?"

Seeing that Fang Xuanling had something to say, Li Shimin looked like he wanted to support him, and his anger was much calmer.

Fang Xuanling immediately said: "Your Majesty, this minister thinks that this time is different from the last time. Goguryeo ignored my great power of the Tang Dynasty and dared to attack our country. His Royal Highness does not have to let it go, it is better to wait for the Prince to come down and talk about it!"

Li Shimin nodded, and now Yang Jie is not just saying what he said in the court, but he is also making a statement. He stopped the court from discussing again now, and only waited for Li You to arrive.

After a while, the eunuch announced, and His Royal Highness arrived.

Li You entered the Taiji Palace and met Li Shimin.

"Yangjie, Goguryeo blocked the tribute road, and even sent troops to attack Silla, my Tang vassal state. Now, do you have a conclusion from your observation?"

Li You glanced at Li Shimin, then glanced sideways at the ministers, and said solemnly: "Then Goguryeo didn't care that the Silla Kingdom was under the protection of the Gu Tang, and actually blocked his tribute road, so as to whether it is necessary to fight now, Of course there is a conclusion—"

"The conclusion is that Goguryeo is actively courting death now!" Li You sneered, "Even if Gu doesn't want to fight now, Goguryeo seems to be inviting us to beat them. Isn't this courting death or what?"

"Otherwise, if it continues like this, other countries will rush to follow the example of cutting off the Great Tang Road, and feel that there will be no consequences at all like Goguryeo, then the face of the Great Tang can be lost, and everyone can go home and farm!"

Li You swept across the faces of the ministers one by one, his voice stunned and forceful, and Li Shimin's face showed joy.

Wei Zheng said at this time: "Although this Goguryeo has always been unpleasant to the Tang Dynasty, but now Gaisuwen coup d'etat, a new king is established, and he is in charge of the imperial court. …”

Cheng Yaojin didn't wait for Wei Zheng to finish, and said loudly: "Master Wei, you don't need to be pretentious to others. No matter how powerful this person is, he will be in the nest. I, Tang Dynasty, are not afraid of him!"

"That's right!" Li Shimin nodded in approval.

Li You chuckled and said, "I feel that Mr. Wei's move is not to impress others, but that we need to have a clear understanding of the enemy."

"Some time ago, the father and the emperor had the intention of going on an expedition to Goguryeo, and his original intention was to teach this Goguryeo a lesson to the people on the border of Liaodong, but the former Sui sent troops to Goguryeo and made the people angry and resentful. This past incident must be taken as a warning."

When Li You said this, Wei Zheng and Xiao Yu couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Li You continued: "So at that time, although Gu was in favor of sending troops, but waiting for Goguryeo to do something resentful, now is the time. Gu believes that the people of the world now have the heart of crusade!"

The secretary and junior supervisor Yan Shigu glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "Your Majesty, although His Highness the Crown Prince is reasonable, he cannot ignore the safety of the people in Liaodong. Day, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Short-sighted!"

Li Youwei said angrily: "The truth is the opposite. Only by pacifying Koguryo is the long-term solution for the people of Liaodong! If you talk about the burden of the people, if there is no war, the people will be able to live a prosperous life within a few years!"

Li You's words were plain, but he was domineering and restrained!

If others say that the people can live a prosperous life within a few years, all the officials and officials will be crazy, but in the case of His Royal Highness the Prince, everyone seems to be speechless after thinking a lot.

Because Youzhou is the best example!

His Royal Highness is indeed a person who has never come before. He is almost like a demon. It is possible to say anything. It is precisely because of Li You's domineering power that although those who oppose the expedition have something in their hearts, they can only hold it in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, please don't discuss any further! This minister advocates sending troops immediately. If it's too late, I'm afraid that Goguryeo will conquer the Silla Kingdom. At that time, his strength will be stronger than it is now, which will be detrimental to the Tang Dynasty!"

It was Li Ji who spoke. He was the Minister of War, and he never objected to Li You's proposition.

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, sure enough, as soon as Yang Jie came out, everything would be submissive.Even if there are voices of opposition, I am afraid that no one knows Yang Jie's sharp mouth, and in the end there is only silence.

Li You continued: "Conquering Goguryeo is not only a consideration now, but also a matter of benefit to our children and grandchildren! For the continuation of the Tang Dynasty, who will do it if we do not do it?"

"." But, His Royal Highness...you didn't advocate conquest of Goguryeo before."

Wei Zheng reminded Li You with a glimmer of hope.

"I have said it a long time ago. At that time, it was not that I did not advocate sending troops, but to see if it was necessary to send troops at that time, so don't talk about it."

When Li Shimin heard the words, he immediately set the tone: "As the prince said, from now on, only discuss how to go on an expedition! Now discuss the candidates to lead the troops."

When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw Li Shimin slashing the mess, they couldn't help but look at each other, but they all knew that Li Shimin had the heart to attack Goguryeo for several years.

In that case...

"Wei Chen is willing to lead the army to the expedition!"

"Wei Chen is also willing!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Ji, Li Daozong, Qi Bi He Li, and others denounced the battle.

Li You also suggested: "Father, I think it's better to let Yue Fei lead the troops, and I can trust him."

"Although General Yue is a genius, but after all, his aptitude is advanced, it's not as good as my old Cheng to beat his mother!"

Looking at the volunteers of the generals in the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin made up his mind, smiled and said words that shocked the court.

"Sending troops to conquer Goguryeo this time is something that I have been thinking about for a long time - so there is no need to fight for each other, and I plan to go on a personal expedition this time!"

Civil and military officials were all stunned for a moment, and then the audience shook!

"What... what?!"

"Your Majesty wants to conquer Goguryeo in person!?"

"This is really messed up!"

It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to go on an expedition. For a while, the Taiji Palace exploded like an explosion, and there were many discussions! .
