Seven days later, there was a more shocking news in the palace, Li Luo was given the title of auxiliary general at the age of the crown, leading the Xifu to make a strategic envoy, three days later, the Wanlong Emperor ordered troops in Dingtiantai, 100,000 soldiers, went to the Xifu, and leveled the thieves. The post of counselor of the Privy Council was officially assumed by Zong Bo Yang Wanli.

On that day, the first thing Emperor Wanlong did when he came up was to announce this decree, and all the ministers were in an uproar for a while, even Prince Chun did not expect it, and was shocked on the spot.

The rest of the ministers discussed one after another, coupled with the rumors in the city before, all of them secretly mocked Li Chengye for not knowing the seriousness, and begged Emperor Wanlong to take back the imperial decree.

The post of Xifu Economic Strategy is very important, and there is also the envoy Di Jie in the west, if it is not handled properly for a while, the defeat of the army is small, if Xirong gets a loophole, break through the Dagan defense line.

This is a major event that shook the dynasty, and there was even a royal history in front of the bloody admonition, crying endlessly, but he didn't want to provoke the anger of Emperor Wanlong, so he ordered someone to drag the imperial history out, and hit forty boards, which was already dying, and the ministers stopped the noise.

Looking back, he found that in addition to Prince Chun, there were also the new commander of the Duqi Shepherd, Li Chengwen, Taifu Ling Shutong and Tsukasa Jaezhang Rongzheng were all speechless, and then they realized that this matter was not just a whim of Emperor Wanlong, who was busy hanging his head and standing down, not daring to speak.

Although Yang Wanli and other knowledgeable people sighed secretly, but seeing that Emperor Wanlong's mind had been decided, and the remaining two dukes did not object, the governor was a foregone conclusion, so he had to retreat and choose a stable supervisor to assist Li Luo.

Prince Chun's cousin, Huaiwang Li Chengyue, received a vacant position as a doctor in the court, and he has never held an important position.

This King Huai also thought that it was an errand given to Li Luomou by Emperor Wanlong and Prince Chun, but he just went to Xifu to go around, and then found some random people to fill up the Xifu rebellion, and when he came back, he could enjoy all the glory and wealth, and he also wanted to follow to get a piece of the pie.

Emperor Wanlong saw that it was his own family, and he didn't think much about it, and responded to it, as soon as this word came out, even Prince Chun frowned, Yang Wanli was the first to stand up, and his words were inappropriate, and he hoped that the emperor would think twice, and he would send a person who was good at fighting and knowing how to fight to assist Li Luo, and he could not take on this great task with the character and talent of King Huai.

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Wanlong thought about it slightly, and when King Huai saw this, he hurriedly expressed his loyalty, and he would definitely be able to serve as a supervisor, and he did not forget to say that his ancestors had made great contributions to Dagan.

Emperor Wanlong was soft-hearted, ignored Zongbo's advice, approved King Huai's invitation, and said that everything must be discussed with Li Luo, Li Chengyue was overjoyed, and he responded with a mouthful, thinking about how to find Zongbo's trouble in the future.

Li Chengye wanted to speak out against it, but somehow, he surprisingly didn't make a sound, even Li Chengye himself was surprised, Taifu, Tsukasa Zai and Muwang saw that Prince Chun did not refute, guessed or made a decision, and did not object, and the important position of supervising the army fell to the head of King Huai Li Chengyue so inexplicably.

Everyone in the court was silent, how could they not have imagined that this western expedition would be such a child's play, only the angry Zongbo and several loyal ministers and the high-spirited Huaiwang Li Chengyue remained.

Subsequently, the Privy Council consulted about the matter, but the dispute among the ministers was more intense than that of Li Luo's expedition to the west, and several important ministers had their own candidates to recommend them, and the dispute was inextricable for a while, and there was no result for nearly half an hour.

Emperor Wanlong yawned again and again, waved his big hand, and Yang Wanli, the uncle of Zongbo, officially took over the post of counselor of the Privy Council, and did not wait for the objections of the important ministers, so he issued a holy decree and hurriedly retired from the court.

Yang Wanli is known for his talent and prestige, no better than Li Luo, the ministers of the court and the central government saw this, regardless of whether they liked it or hated it in their hearts, they all stepped forward to congratulate him, and King Huai even shouted compliments one after another, and he couldn't see the ruthlessness of Yang Wanli's opposition to his appointment as a prisoner.

As soon as the Holy Decree of the DPRK and the Central Committee was issued, Zongbo Yang Wanli's appointment as the counselor of the Privy Council did not make waves.

It's just that Li Luogui is the general of the auxiliary country, and the matter of leading the army to the west has caused an uproar in the city, and one stone has stirred up a thousand waves, plus Li Chengyue, the king of Huai, has taken the post of supervising the army, and he is even more excited, and everyone in the streets and alleys is talking, and he scolds the court for being incompetent and negligent, and appointing people who have no talent and no virtue, naturally there are many people who can't hide the envy and jealousy between the words, but it also chills the thoughts of many talented rangers who are determined to serve the imperial court.

The teahouse book club where talented people gather and the Wutang Sword Pavilion of the ranger warriors have not stopped talking, not talking about the expedition to the west, they are all sighing and sighing, the world is impermanent, it is rare for the emperor to come to the idea of conquering the west, but in the end it became the vanity fair of the prince and grandson.

I don't know who made a poem in response, and it spread all over Zhuocheng in an instant:

Ten years of scholars have been bitter, and a hundred years of chivalry have heard the chicken dance;

If you want to follow the example of Wuhou Tianwolf shooting, don't rely on the column for the vertical son.

The most troublesome thing just after the holy decree was the new Privy Council counselor, the hearts of the people in the city were fluctuating, rumors were spreading, Yang Wanli was busy, and he didn't want to be like his predecessor to convict people of life and death, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the rumors in the city with Fu Yin, and he was also extremely dissatisfied with Emperor Wanlong's sloppiness and nepotism.

Li Luo was very bland, no joy and no worries, and when he heard the report from the people of the palace, he only responded lightly, asked a few words, and waved his hand to let the people retreat.

Su Xue was secretly sad, and when she thought that Li Luo was going to go to Xifu, she didn't feel good in her heart, but she couldn't say what it felt, she just felt as if she was going to lose something.

Even in the past, when Li Luo indulged wantonly, he had never had such a feeling, he was in a trance, and accidentally poured all the water on his hands when making tea, and the painful Su Xue screamed, and the teapot fell in response to the sound and shattered on the ground, waking up Li Luo who was in a daze.

Li Luo hurriedly stepped forward to check, his hands were red and swollen, Li Luo frowned, called someone to go to the west room to get some plasters for burns and scalds, pulled Su Xue and sat down, and gently brushed Su Xue's scalded fingers with his hand, Su Xue's face was hot, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to raise his eyes.

Suddenly, I felt a cool breath coming along Li Luo's fingers, which was extremely useful, and I couldn't help moaning slightly, and then my face turned red, and I secretly glanced at Li Luo, but I saw that Li Luo was looking at himself with a smile in his eyes, and he was embarrassed and buried his head deeply.

After a while, Su Xue felt that there was no longer so much pain in her hand, thanked her, withdrew her hand, Li Luo hummed, got up and leaned on the doorrail, Su Xue asked, "Childe, what are you thinking?" ”

After a long while, I heard Li Luo say slowly: "I'm wondering why my father didn't stop me from going west in the court, nor did he prevent Wang from serving as the supervisor of the army." ”

"Did the boy think of an answer?"

Li Luo turned around and whispered, "I thought of it, I hope I was wrong." ”

"Ahh Su Xueqi said, when he looked closely, Li Luo turned his face to the outside of the house again, and did not look back for a long time.

Emperor Wanlong instructed the ministers of the court and China to prepare for the western expedition, but they only marched and sent generals, but the soldiers, horses, money, and food were all fanfare, and there was no secret meaning.

The army of the Western Expedition has not yet entered the city, and in the middle of the court, the marching commander and the generals under his command are already familiar, and people of insight cannot help but shake their heads and sigh, this is not like going out to fight, as if they are going to hunt in autumn.

With such a movement, before the soldiers arrived, Xirong had already taken countermeasures and precautions, and now this move made Xirong even more dissatisfied, and he didn't know if Di Jie could survive this time and join the army of the Western Expedition; When the Western Expeditionary Army arrives, it is already winter, and it is not conducive to a long-term battle, I am afraid that if the two armies have not yet met, the Western Expeditionary Army will have to be damaged by nearly half.

In this way, everyone thought that Emperor Wanlong just asked Li Luo to go to Xifu to change his military merits, but for the sake of a trace of fame, he let the 100,000 army rush in vain, and cost his life and money.

Some people even spoke ill of Li Luo because he was not very clean, and he had an inextricable relationship with Emperor Wanlong, otherwise, how could he let Li Luo toss around, even in the palace, there were rumors.

A group of princes and concubines in the palace admonished one after another, but Emperor Wanlong was still like this, which made everyone jealous, and Li Luo was also overwhelmed, and secretly smiled bitterly.

More than half of the army was recruited by Youzhou, which was originally the second northern line constructed by Li Chengye, Prince Chun, but for some reason Emperor Wanlong withdrew and was incorporated into the army of the western expedition, and nearly 30,000 people were the rangers of the Muzhou Governor Hu Chaci, who was further north than Youzhou.

Hucha Ci is a member of the Keku tribe, located in Muzhou, the people are brave and martial, when Taizu raised the army, he made great contributions, and the wind general Hucha Lone Goose in the ten generals is the Keku people.

After Dagan was pacified, the Hucha family lived in Muzhou for generations, guarding the northern gateway of Dagan, but in recent years, the court was weak, and some people in the court were afraid that Huchaci would rebel, so they forcibly recruited nearly half of the cavalry of the Keku tribe, but there was nowhere to use, and no one dared to use it, so they randomly found an excuse to protect Zhuocheng and placed it in Qinzhou north of the Kunjiang River.

Four years have passed, and this expedition to the west has been incorporated into the army.

The main generals in the army, in addition to the general Li Luo and the superintendent Li Chengyue, the Youzhou Department was led by Yunlu General Liu Ce, Xuanwei General Shi Chong and Mingwei General Kuang Lizhe, and the Muzhou Department was led by Zhongwu General Hu Chajing, and the Western Expedition Army was mainly composed of these two armies, and the rest were transferred from the surrounding states and counties, making up 100,000 people.

In addition to Liu Ce's talents, the rest of the generals are famous for their bravery, especially the loyal general Hu Chajing, who is also known as a thousand enemies, and is said to be arrogant and arrogant.

Although Liu Ce is famous, he has never been reused by the imperial court, and he has a strong army, but he is just idle, and he is still just a Yunlu general.

Colleagues in the Zhuocheng army said that this person was quite narrow-minded and had no room for people, so it has been shelved until now, and the Xuanwei general Shi Chong and Mingwei general Kuang Lizhen under his command are also famous for their military force.

From an outsider's point of view, the army of the Western Expedition is strong and strong, but it is full of flaws on the inside, and if it is not properly controlled, the Western Expedition Army will only be torn apart, and many people just hope that the army can return safely.

Emperor Wanlong personally handled the soldiers, horses, money and food, which was extremely fast, and Tsukasa Zaizhang Rongzheng surprisingly did not deduct this time, and the order was extremely smooth, which provoked people who were secretly scolded, if the Western Expedition had this in the past, Xifudang would not be as hard to support as now.

The conquest order was sent out a month ago, the Muzhou rangers were not far away, and the day of the order had been assembled by the Kunjiang River, and the vanguard cavalry of the Youzhou Department had also arrived in Zhuozhou day and night, and the rest of the army was also on the way.

Such a march made Yang Wanli have a false alarm, the Privy Council reported an urgent letter, the two armies moved privately, Yang Wanli was shocked, suspected of being a remnant of the palace party, busy entering the palace face saint, Emperor Wanlong already knew, sold a pass, only let Yang Wanli wait, the original heart had already intended to conquer the west, as for the reason for the beginning and end, Yang Wanli is unknown.

Soon after the holy decree was issued, there was an endless stream of people who came to Prince Chun's mansion to pay a visit, and they came to congratulate Prince Chun and this Zhuocheng upstart, everyone in the palace was mixed, Li Luo and Prince Chun's mansion had a sudden reputation, but there were more people who slandered behind their backs than people who complimented them, and even Li Chengye and several princesses, who knew the inside story, were also extremely suspicious.

Although Li Luo said that the palace change was quelled, but this march was the first time to fight, Emperor Wanlong pressed down such a heavy bargaining chip, even Li Chengye himself was extremely worried, and talked to Li Luo a few times, Li Luo didn't care much, Li Chengye was secretly angry that Li Luo didn't know how to do it, but Emperor Wanlong was bent on doing so, and he couldn't say anything, and gradually believed that Emperor Wanlong just wanted Li Luo to go to Xifu for a while.

Luo's is worried and happy, and crying and laughing these days makes Li Luo easy to persuade.
