Chapter 69: Prepare in advance
"Good!"
"This archery is really amazing!"
"The future of this son is limitless!"
Xue Rengui's wonderful performance suddenly ushered in the praise of everyone, including Li Er.
Even Li Chengqian, who had seen Xue Rengui shoot through the five-layer heavy armor, was still excited now.
"Your Majesty! In this expedition to Goguryeo, the minister is willing to be the vanguard general, and please send Xue Rengui to the minister to be the minister's deputy general. Without waiting for everyone to recover from the shock just now, Cheng Yanjin took the first step and said to Li Er.
"Huh! Okay, you bite the gold, I haven't opened my mouth yet, you are one step ahead! No, Your Majesty! This vanguard general should be made by my lieutenant Chi Jingde. Wei Chi Jingde, who came back to his senses, was not to be outdone.
Cheng Biting Jin and Yu Chi Jingde are really a pair of happy enemies, no matter when and where, they have to fight each other, and if they don't fight for a day, they will be uncomfortable.
Everyone is used to this, and they have long been surprised.
"Alas! You old black, I have to get along with your brother, how can I get it, how can I ......"
"That's it! I don't look at what kind of place this is, what kind of noise it is!"
Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Jingde were about to turn on the mouth cannon mode, Li Er hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.
If they are allowed to continue to fight like this, it will be endless, and what will they do to make a big deal.
"This expedition, I want to drive the expedition in person! But now is the time of spring ploughing, it is inconvenient to raise troops to attack Goguryeo, and it is not too late to raise troops in July this year. ”
"The most important thing at the moment is to sow grain, and after the grain is harvested, it is still too late to conquer Goguryeo, Quangai Suwen has killed the king, and the people of Goguryeo are already in dire straits, and it is not bad for a moment."
"As for who will go with me, it will not be too late to discuss it when the time comes! That's all for today's pilgrimage! I'm tired!" Li Erdao.
Unravel the strange dream he had and get another general, Li Er's mood has never been so good.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The crown prince and the minister hurriedly saluted.
Li Er got up and left the Taiji Palace, and everyone dispersed.
……
A few days later, Li Chengqian, who was in the East Palace, ushered in Li Er's personal attendant, Wang Yuan, the inner attendant.
"Why is the inner chamberlain free today to come to the widow's East Palace, but what did my father summon the widow?" Li Chengqian asked.
Wang Yuan, as Li Er's personal attendant and the leader of the inner chamberlain, generally does not easily stay too far away from Li Er.
At this time, Wang Yuan appeared in the East Palace, and he didn't have to guess to know that Li Er sent him.
It's just that Li Chengqian doesn't know what Li Er sent Wang Yuanlai for?
"Your Majesty! Ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the country and handle the government affairs on behalf of His Majesty. Wang Yuandao.
"Isn't my father in Chang'an? Why do you have to have a few people to handle the government on your behalf? This can confuse the widow, and I would like to ask the inner chamberlain to elaborate. Li Chengqian said.
"Don't hide it from Your Highness! His Majesty's head stroke disease has occurred again, and it is worse than before, and the Imperial Doctor advises His Majesty to recuperate. ”
"No, Your Majesty plans to go to Jiucheng Palace to recuperate, and specially issued an edict to let Xue Wanche, the general of the Left Guard, temporarily replace the General of the Right Guard." Wang Yuandao.
In the past few days, Li Chengqian also heard that Li Eryi had committed another stroke, and the day before yesterday he went to visit Li Eryi, but his condition was not so serious, and it was far from the point where he needed to recuperate.
Head wind disease has always been the most headache for their old Li family, not only Li Er, but in fact, most of Li Er's children and grandchildren have this genetic disease.
It was because of this disease that Li Zhi finally had the capital to become the emperor, and if Li Zhi had not inherited this disease, there would have been no later generation of empresses.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons that prompted Wu Zetian to become a generation of empresses, the most important thing is that Wu Zetian has this ability, coupled with this soil for growth, and finally achieved a generation of empresses.
If there is no such soil, no matter how capable Wu Zetian is, she will definitely not be able to do this last step when she stays in the deep palace.
It seems that Li Er's condition should have started to deteriorate in the past few days, after all, Comrade Li Lao is already in his forties.
What is Comrade Li's intention in arranging Xue Wanche like this?
Why is it an acting general, and not officially.
He couldn't guess that!
"This time, my father went to Jiucheng Palace to recuperate, and King Jin can accompany him?" Li Chengqian asked.
"King Jin is benevolent and filial, His Majesty has always loved King Jin, and it is understandable to let him accompany him." Wang Yuandao.
"The inner warden's words are right! There are immature slaves who are filial piety in front of their father, and the widow is relieved! Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Among the three brothers of their mother, Li Zhi is famous for his filial piety, if it weren't for the fact that he was not clear about the martial arts talents in the harem later.
Li Zhi is also a great filial son, without Wu Zetian, in terms of filial piety, Li Zhi may not be able to compare with Emperor Wen of Han.
When Li Er returned from the Eastern Expedition, he had a big poisonous sore on his back, and Li Zhi personally sucked out the poisonous pus with his mouth for Li Er.
Ordinary people really can't do such a feat, and ordinary people are already disgusted when they see the poisonous pus, let alone suck it out with their mouths.
"What if nothing else? The old slave retired! Wang Yuandao.
"Slow down!" Li Chengqian said to Wang Quan: "Wang Quan, send one to the inner prison for me." ”
"No!" Wang Quan received the order, smiled and stretched out his hand to Wang Yuan and made a gesture of please: "Inner Attendant, please!"
The next day, Li Er went to Jiucheng Palace with his filial and beloved son Li Zhi to recuperate, along with Wucai and the eldest grandson Wuji and others, and even Xue Rengui was among them.
Leaving the crown prince Li Chengqian in Chang'an to supervise the country, let Fang Xuanling, Yang Shidao and others assist Li Chengqian in handling the government.
Jiucheng Palace is the first palace of the Tang Dynasty, and the so-called palace is the emperor's palace, which is the place where the emperor used to escape the summer.
Emperor Wen of Sui built a palace for himself in February of the thirteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang, which was completed in March of the fifteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, and Emperor Wen of Sui named it "Renshou Palace".
Tang Taizong repaired it and expanded it again in the fifth year of Zhenguan, and renamed it "Jiucheng Palace", "Jiucheng" means "nine-fold" or "nine-layered", which means tall.
Although Li Er was recuperating in Jiucheng Palace, the news of Jingshi Chang'an was also reported to him every day, and any edicts he had would be issued directly from Jiucheng Palace.
During the period of recuperation, Li Eryi ordered the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Yan Lide, the general of the general, and others to go to Hong, Rao, and Jiang to build 400 large ships to transport grain and grass by water.
He also ordered Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, to lead the soldiers and horses of the two governors of Youzhou and Yingzhou, as well as soldiers such as Khitan, Xi, and Yao, to attack Liaodong first, to test it, and observe the form of Liaodong by the way.
After waiting for him to recover, prepare for his crusade.
Li Er also ordered Cen Wenwen to be in charge of logistics work and do a good job of logistics support for the army's eastward crusade.
