This year, the East Palace and even the entire Tang Dynasty ushered in a good news.

After the continuous cultivation of the prince, Xiao Liangdi's belly has improved, and the gradually bulging belly all announces that Xiao Liangdi is pregnant with Liujia.

This is a good thing for the East Palace and even the entire Tang Dynasty.

The Li Tang royal family will add a member.

In June of the twentieth year of Zhenguan, Goguryeo sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, wanting to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty.

Perhaps Goguryeo also felt that the Tang Dynasty was strong and far superior in strength, and there was no benefit in fighting with the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, there are Silla and Baekje next to Goguryeo, and if you fight to the end with the Tang Dynasty, it will only cheapen Silla and Baekje.

This kind of thankless thing, even making wedding dresses for Silla and Baekje, Goguryeo can't do it anyway.

As a result, Goguryeo's Da Mo Lizhiquan Gai Suwen came to Chang'an to pay tribute in the name of Goguryeo King Gozang but did not claim to be a minister.

Li Er was naturally furious, not only angrily reprimanding the Goguryeo envoys, but also ordering to stop accepting Goguryeo's tribute and drive the envoys sent by Quangai Suwen back to Goguryeo.

After thinking about it, Li Ersi decided to send troops to attack Goguryeo again, so as to eliminate the unstable factor of Goguryeo.

So as not to spy on the border of the Tang Dynasty and endanger the two vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, Silla and Baekje.

Therefore, Li Er planned to convene his ministers and discuss the matter of going out to attack Goguryeo again during the court meeting. Flash Dance

The next day, after a set of procedures and opening remarks, the minister reported to His Majesty Li Er on the work situation, as well as the future plans, etc.

Li Er finally spoke: "After thinking about it these days, Goguryeo has repeatedly offended my Tang vassal states Silla and Baekje, and even Quangai Suwen has spied on my Tang border and wants to invade the Tang border at any time. ”

"For the sake of the peace of the border of the Tang Dynasty and the complete solution of the hidden dangers, I decided to raise an army to the east again, and strive to eliminate Goguryeo in one fell swoop."

As soon as Li Er's words fell, some ministers stood up to oppose it, and Li Er did not intend that these ministers would directly support his expedition to Goguryeo again.

After all, during the first expedition to Goguryeo, the ministers opposed it one after another, if it weren't for Li Erli's disapproval of public opinion and his dictatorship to directly issue an edict to mobilize government troops and go on an expedition to Goguryeo.

The first expedition to Goguryeo would be stillborn, and if you want to go on another expedition this time, the resistance will be greater than the first time.

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that now was not the time for an expedition to Goguryeo, and that His Majesty's last expedition had been less than a year, and if His Majesty went on another expedition, the minister was worried that my Tang Dynasty would not be able to support this expedition. ”

"In the past, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty went perversely, and made three expeditions to Goguryeo, which caused the people's resentment to boil, and in the seventh year of the great cause, Wang Bo, a native of Zouping in Qi County, revolted in Changbai Mountain because of heavy military service. Flash"

"Since then, the Sui Dynasty has entered the road of extinction, but Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not think about his own fault, and made three expeditions to Goguryeo, exhausting the last trace of qi of the Sui Dynasty, and the whole world fell apart."

"Emperor Gaozu felt that the Sui Dynasty was exhausted, so he raised troops in Jinyang and competed with all the princes for the world, how many years did the Tang Dynasty have to have its current situation."

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to follow in the footsteps of Emperor Yang of Sui, if Your Majesty insists on going his own way, the Tang Dynasty will die!" The minister said this, and fell to his knees.

Li Er looked at the minister who was kneeling on the ground and opposed his expedition to Goguryeo, and said nothing.

Li Er didn't speak, and the minister could only keep his kneeling posture, not daring to waver in the slightest.

Long.

Li Er opened his mouth and said, "Is this what Zhu Qing also means?" Are they all against my expedition to Goguryeo? ”

Li Er wanted to go on an expedition to Goguryeo again, but firstly, there was no one in Quangai Suwen's eyes, and he did not take the Tang Empire, a great country, in his eyes, which made him somewhat lose face.

Li Er also felt the threat from Goguryeo, don't look at the small population of their country, but their strength is indeed not weak.

Although the Tang Dynasty was not afraid of Goguryeo, once Goguryeo was allowed to exist, it would definitely threaten the security of the eastern border of the Tang Dynasty.

Since ancient times, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and if there is a slight relaxation, Goguryeo dares to wave his army to take the border of the Tang Dynasty.

As for stationing troops on the eastern border of the Tang Dynasty, it is even more unrealistic, because a large number of troops are stationed on the border, and it is difficult for the treasury to support it for a long time.

Rather than this, it is better to directly send troops to destroy the convenience of Goguryeo.

"The minister also thinks it's inappropriate, please think twice about it!" The eldest grandson Wuji came out of the line and saluted.

The first time he didn't agree to Li Er's troops to Goguryeo, but Li Er insisted on going his own way, and he was helpless.

As for whether His Majesty Li Er will listen to their advice this time, they actually have no bottom in their hearts, no matter what, as courtiers, they have the obligation to advise the emperor.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou went out at the same time and saluted Li Er, and they also opposed Li Er's expedition to Goguryeo.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Immediately afterwards, Yang Shidao, Li Ji, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin and other old ministers also stood up against Li Erer's expedition to Goguryeo.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Except for the crown prince Li Chengqian, all the ministers, including Li Zhi, knelt on the ground and opposed Li Er's re-conquest of Goguryeo.

Such a situation had long been expected by Li Er, and Li Er was not angry, and it was not unreasonable for these ministers to oppose his expedition to Goguryeo.

It's just that Li Er looked at Li Chengqian, the only prince who didn't kneel on the ground and oppose him, and frowned.

He didn't want his son to see the situation clearly, and just blindly flattered himself, which would only make him more disappointed.

"Cheng Qian, above this hall, you are the only one who has not opposed me, you really deserve to be my son!" Li Er looked at Li Chengqian and said meaningfully.

When everyone heard this, they all looked up, and saw that the prince stood out from the crowd, still kneeling and sitting without a trace.

I really can't understand what the prince is doing this for?

Don't you know what the consequences will be if you fail to go back from another expedition to Goguryeo, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will follow in the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty and go to extinction.

Could it be that the prince can't even understand this?

The ministers were very disappointed in the crown prince Li Chengqian, and even the prince didn't understand the truth that the king of Jin understood in politics!

What qualifications does he have to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty!

These are the voices of the current ministers, but fortunately, Li Chengqian can't hear their voices, otherwise, these ministers who will definitely have to be argued will not be able to take care of themselves.

After Li Zhi glanced at Li Chengqian, he immediately lowered his head, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was actually a hint of joy in his heart.

The eldest brother has offended all the ministers to death, and if he doesn't tell the reason, the ministers are afraid that they will not let him go.

If it is not handled properly, and the father is offended to death, can the eldest brother Chengqian's position as the crown prince still be kept?

Once the position of the crown prince is not guaranteed, who should take over the position of the prince next, does this need to be said?
