Chapter 383: Lu Meets the Prince
Wu Mei nodded and made a bowl of noodles for Gu Qing, and watched her husband finish eating.
On the other side of the Central Plains, with the change of monsoon winds, the king of Goguryeo knew that the time to go south to conquer the Wa Kingdom was approaching, and the most scarce thing in Goguryeo at the moment was troops and weapons, and he looked at the officials sent by Chang'an to help him and said, "Your Majesty still can't give me firearms?" β
"Honorable King of Goguryeo." The official smiled and said, "Firearms are my Tang Dynasty's heavy weapons, and they can't be given to them easily, and the king of Goguryeo can rest assured, when the necessary time comes, our Central Plains will definitely come back to support Goguryeo, and it has been some time since the report was sent to Guanzhong, and it must have arrived in Chang'an, as long as you get your Majesty's permission, you can go all out to attack the Wa Kingdom, and the Tang Dynasty will definitely have a helping hand." β
"I want to attack the Wa Kingdom again in winter." The King of Goguryeo's eyes were cold, "I'm going to tear off a piece of fat meat in the Wa Kingdom to feed my Goguryeo." β
"That's how it is." The official from Chang'an also smiled.
Goguryeo took a deep breath, "I only have one request, enough grain and grass." β
"Good!"
ββββββββββββββββ dividing line
Goguryeo was reorganizing for war, and the court was once again discussing the matter of Goguryeo, and Shangshu Province, as a representative of the new faction of the court, was arguing with those old ministers about whether to send troops to support Goguryeo.
Xu Jingzong let the young officials and old ministers of Shangshu Province argue, and he didn't say a word!
There are some things that can be performed in front of His Majesty, but for major strategies, you still can't come out casually.
It's one thing to want to be motivated, it's another to be able to do it.
The old ministers all hoped that the Tang Dynasty could send troops, but the new faction did not want to send troops, and the most powerful generals at this juncture did not speak as if they had made an appointment.
At this time, it is best not to take the lead, if you make a mistake, you will have to take the blame, and Li Yifu also knows this.
Li Er looked at the strange atmosphere in the court and was also funny, summoned Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, Fang Xuanling, and Chu Suiliang to the Ganlu Hall to discuss matters, and then dispersed the court.
After the court meeting ended, Li Tai and Gu Qing talked about the affairs of the court, "You said that we should send troops, the matter between Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom at the beginning, but you paved the way with your own hands." β
"It's time to come, too." Gu Qing looked in the direction of the entrance of the village.
"Something should come." Li Tai looked confused.
Sure enough, a fast horse appeared at the entrance of the village, and the person who came was a guard who passed the will, and rode the horse to Gu Qing's approach, "Your Majesty has a will, please ask Gu Xianhou to enter the palace as soon as possible to discuss Goguryeo's strategy." β
"Sure enough, there was only one horse." Gu Qing got up lazily, "You come down and give me your horse." β
"Ah, what about the lowly position." The guards on horseback looked confused.
"Didn't you say I had to enter the palace quickly? Are you going to run away, and there is no humanistic care. Gu Qing spoke, "You come down." β
"But Gu Xianhou can go on the same horse as the lowly job." The guard said again.
"You come down for me!" Li Tai on the side couldn't help but shouted, "Two men riding a horse should not be diaphragm, can't you bring one more horse next time?" β
"It's a lowly negligence." The guard immediately rolled over and dismounted.
Gu Qing got on his horse and said, "Fatty, I'll go first." β
"Let's go back quickly." Li Tai spoke.
Riding a horse all the way to the gate of Chang'an City, Gu Qing walked into Chang'an City with familiar roads, and when he came to the palace gate, the guards had already prepared, "Shang Shuling, Your Majesty has a decree to enter the Manna Hall as soon as possible." β
"I see." Gu Qing quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the Manna Palace.
bumped into the prince who was also about to go to the Manna Hall all the way, "His Royal Highness the Prince, such a coincidence, also go to the Manna Palace." β
Li Chengqian nodded, watching Gu Qing slow down, "It's going to the Ganlu Palace, Gu Xianhou, the matter of the academy ......"
"Hasn't it already been handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Gu Qing smiled stiffly, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't think it's enough." β
"Gu Qing, are you fooling Lonely?" Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Last time, those masters were obviously given to Gu as soon as you were summoned to the academy. β
"Oh, in fact, I didn't think about it well, but those new masters just came to my academy and wanted to enter the prince's academy." Gu Qing smiled on his face, and he was extremely skilled in throwing the pot, "His Royal Highness the Prince's Academy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince again, oops!" It's amazing, wouldn't the students of the Prince Academy in the future be protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, but it's amazing! β
Hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled, and laughed very excitedly, especially the four words of the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, he would really become the Son of Heaven in the future, could it be that Gu Qing thought so, and suddenly seemed to be less angry about Gu Qing's matter.
As soon as the breeze blew and his head woke up, Li Chengqian seemed to understand something, "Gu Qing, you are still fooling Lonely!" β
"Nothing." Gu Qing shook the fan in his hand faster and faster, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you see how good the weather is today and how beautiful the scenery is, so let's not discuss this kind of topic of bad scenery, okay." β
"What's wrong with the scenery?" Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, "It's ...... to talk to you when you find out."
"Isn't my words like an initiation?"
"Definitely!" Li Chengqian walked to the Ganlu Hall and stopped, "Reasoning with people like you will cost you a long life." β
"Awards, awards." Gu Qing gave up his hand again and again.
Li Chengqian: "......"
There was no sound of discussion in the Ganlu Palace, and a little eunuch came up and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Shang Shuling, please come in." β
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked in front, Gu Qing walked behind and followed all the way into the Manna Palace, and then stood directly next to Chu Suiliang at the end.
Cheng Yanjin glared at Gu Qing, thinking about why this kid didn't stand on the side of the generals.
"Gu Qing!" Li Er opened his mouth and said, "Do you think you should send troops to support Goguryeo and attack the Wa Kingdom?" β
Walking out of the court, Gu Qing said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Tang Dynasty does not need to send troops, it is enough to send some grain and grass, of course, support is still necessary, but we can support it spiritually, so it is enough, and then Shanhaiguan is the starting point, and we will build a port in Shanhaiguan to prepare for a naval battle." β
"Naval battles?" Li Er was puzzled.
Cheng Yanjin's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he looked at Gu Qing's eyes as green as if he had seen a silver mine.
"Gu Qing, tell me what you think." Li Er spoke.
Now the Shanhaiguan is also too stumbling, in fact, according to the current point of view, the main defense of the Zhenguan Dynasty is still the same as the Han Dynasty in the Hexi Road corridor and Yanmen Pass, guarding against the nomadic grassland barbarians, when the Jurchen developed, to the Ming Dynasty began to really rebuild Shanhaiguan, the location of Shanhaiguan is very important, it is the hub connecting the northeast area, and the sea is close to the south and directly points to Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom.
