Chapter 114: Recommendation

"Good! Since no one in Zhong Aiqing has any objections, the verdict against the Yanqi family is to forgive their crimes. ”

"Send them to Chang'an, choose a good mansion, let them live, and grant the official position of King Yanqi, and his son will enter the East Palace as an attendant." As soon as Li Erjinkou opened, the matter of King Yanqi was decided.

It sounds good to say that the emperor's grace is mighty, but in fact, it is just a way to control King Yanqi and send the son of King Yanqi into the palace, in fact, it is to be taken hostage, so that the other party will throw a mouse trap and dare not mess around.

"Your Majesty! What official position should be granted by the king of Yanqi? Chu Suiliang asked.

Li Er just said that he would give King Yanqi an official position, but he didn't specifically say what official position or how many products he would give? Whether to make him a loose official or something else, Li Er didn't say a word about it.

"As for what official position to conflede, this matter will be handled by the prince, and now the prince is supervising the country for me." Li Erdao.

Li Chengqian only rolled his eyes, it is true that he is in charge of the country, but now it is you, the emperor, who are presiding over all this.

Since Li Erdu said that he would hand it over to the prince, Chu Suiliang didn't say anything more.

"Let Guo Xiaoke temporarily hand over the Yanqi Wang's family to Luoyang Mansion for safekeeping, this time Guo Xiaoke has made a meritorious service, and I want to reward him." Li Erdao.

"No!" The chamberlain was ordered to retreat.

The topic of the Yanqi family was just a small episode, and after saying this small episode, we returned to the topic and everyone continued to discuss the crusade against Goguryeo.

"Goguryeo must be defeated, there is no doubt about this, you have been discussing for a long time, and you have not seen any results, it is difficult to make a small Goguryeo make you afraid." Li Er was very dissatisfied with the discussion for a long time and the result of the discussion.

"Your Majesty! We don't know much about the form of Liaodong, and the crusade against Goguryeo is no better than fighting in the Central Plains, so we must be careful! ”

"Think about Emperor Yang of Sui, didn't he attack Goguryeo in the first place, which led to the final defeat, and what the final outcome was, Your Majesty should know better than anyone else." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

It is precisely because of the experience of Emperor Yang of Sui that they will be careful, careful and careful.

The strength of the Sui Dynasty at the beginning was not as bad as the current Tang Dynasty, and what was the result, it was not a failure.

If it weren't for the loss of troops in Goguryeo, which caused his soldiers to complain, how could Yang Guang be forced to death by Yu Wenhua.

I'm afraid that the Sui Dynasty will not perish so easily.

"Emperor Yang of Sui, my cousin is also a far-sighted person, but unfortunately he is a great achievement, and his eyes are empty."

"He thinks that the people are insignificant, and they pose no threat to his country, and who has seized the world since ancient times is not from a noble family."

"As long as he is surrounded by nobles, he can sit back and relax, and look at the people around him, especially Yu Wenhua and such an official background, Yang Guang is very favored by him."

"But what in the end? It is not that they died in the hands of these favored ministers, and they expropriated violently, causing the people of the world to boil. ”

"It finally led to the destruction of the Sui Dynasty that had just been relieved, but it was a pity that the splendid country laid down by Emperor Wen of Sui was defeated in the hands of Yang Guang."

"I'm the Tang Dynasty just to replace it, if Emperor Wen of Sui had knowledge under the spring, I don't know how to feel, now, my crusade against Goguryeo is to fight disloyalty with justice, but to uphold the will of heaven, I will definitely be able to win." Li Erdao.

Li Er has said this, even if he opposes it, it will have no effect, agree! And they have something in their hearts.

Disagree! The emperor did not listen to them, and they were in a dilemma, and they did not know what to say for a while.

Li Chengqian felt that he should do something at this time.

"Father, the former Yizhou assassin Zheng Yuan, is now at home, and his sons heard that he once followed Emperor Yang of Sui to crusade against Goguryeo."

"Zheng Yuan knows more about the situation in Goguryeo than we do, so it is better for his father to summon him to Luoyang and ask him about his strategy to defeat Goguryeo." Li Chengqian said.

"What Cheng Qian said is extremely true! With Zheng Yuan, an old minister who was familiar with the situation in Goguryeo, as a staff officer, the crusade against Goguryeo would be simpler, and the chances of victory would increase by several percent. Li Er nodded, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and continued.

"Wuji, this matter will be handled by you, don't lose your courtesy, and you must invite Zheng Yuan to Luoyang." Li Erdao.

The eldest grandson Wuji disagreed, although Zheng Yuan was an old minister, he didn't need to be invited by him as a Situ.

"Your Majesty! Why bother sending me to invite Zheng Yuan so much, just an edict from Your Majesty can summon Zheng Yuan to Luoyang. The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"It's good!" Li Er said lightly, he originally planned to take this opportunity to ease the relationship between the gang of eldest grandsons Wuji and the old ministers of the previous dynasty, but who knew that eldest grandson Wuji would not appreciate it.

People don't appreciate it, and Li Er doesn't have much to say.

"Father, if you crusade against Goguryeo, you have to recommend another person to your father." Li Chengqian said.

"I don't know who the prince wants to recommend? If it's useless, I'll see the prince forget it! Li Er said that he did not accept incompetent people under his command.

It can't be because the other party was recommended by the prince, he will accept it.

"Father can rest assured, this person will definitely be a great help to Father Emperor's crusade against Goguryeo." Li Chengqian said with a smile, he had confidence in Cheng Mingzhen.

"Oh! I wanted to know what kind of person he was who could make the prince so confident and believe that the other party could help me in my crusade against Goguryeo. Li Er looked at the expression on Li Chengqian's face and said.

He rarely saw such a firm and confident expression on Li Chengqian's face, which aroused his interest in the person Li Chengqian was talking about.

"This person is my father who led Cheng Wuting in Zuo Nei, assassinated Shi Cheng Mingzhen, this person is good at using soldiers, if my father can use him as a general, the crusade against Goguryeo will increase the chances of victory." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian recommended Cheng Mingzhen at this time, and he had his own considerations.

Anyway, I have already recommended a Zheng Yuan, and I don't care about recommending another Cheng Mingzhen.

As long as it is beneficial to the crusade against Goguryeo, Li Er will accept it without hesitation.

"This Cheng name Zhenzhen knows him, he used to be Dou Jiande's subordinate, and later returned to the Tang Dynasty, and once followed me to crusade against Liu Heimin, and as a result, Liu Heimin fled to the Turks."

"Later, Liu Heimin made a comeback, with great momentum, and there were many thieves who responded to Liu Heimin, and the first emperor ordered Yuanji, the king of the nest, to lead the troops to crusade against Liu Heimin."

"Who knew that Yuanji was invincible, and later the first emperor asked Prince Yin to go to crusade against Liu Heimin, so he defeated Liu Heimin and captured him alive."

"I remember, Cheng Mingzhen was also among them that time!" Li Erdao.

"That's right! That's five years of martial arts! At that time, Prince Yin planned to take the opportunity to win over Cheng Mingzhen for his use, but it's a pity! Cheng Mingzhen did not accept the good intentions of the completion and refused to win over the completion. The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"Since the prince recommended Cheng Mingzhen, he issued an edict to let Cheng Mingzhen and Zheng Yuan come to Luoyang." Li Erdao.

"No!" Wang Yuan took the order.
