Chapter 661: The Great Army Has Moved

When Chu Suiliang heard this, he knew that the emperor was still thinking about the matter of the late crown princess Su, although he still had the same idea - even if there was some intention to retreat in the face of difficulties, but the words had already been spoken, and it was absolutely impossible to swallow them back - the emperor was a little jealous of Gao Jun's wife Liu Yuru's attitude.

kindly sent beauties out but couldn't send them out, probably the emperor's dissatisfaction was limited to sending Liu Yuru a jar of vinegar. Chu Suiliang wrote down this matter carefully, and said in his heart that he should not forget it when he was busy. Sending vinegar is a small matter, but it is an edict from His Majesty.

Chu Suiliang served as a regular attendant of the Tongzhi Scattered Cavalry, although he was not a high-ranking minister in the court, but he stood by the emperor's side. A small and big event like sending a jar of vinegar to Mrs. Liu is the only thing that is most suitable for him to do.

The emperor was unwilling to entrust this matter to important ministers such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Ma Zhou. Chu Suiliang went to deliver vinegar, at least on the surface, he would not dig out the ins and outs of sending vinegar. The others are different, and if they don't get it right, they will attract the nonsense of those important ministers.

In the second year of Zhenguan, two people were set up in the province of Menxia, and Chu Suiliang was appointed as a living man in the tenth year of Zhenguan, specifically recording the emperor's words and deeds. In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Sui Liang, who was a squire of the Yellow Gate, began to participate in the imperial government, and was sent by the emperor to all parts of the country, inspect the Quartet, and directly depose unqualified officials.

After setting Gaochang, the emperor once spent a lot of energy to collect Wang Xizhi's legal posts, and people all over the world competed for contributions and rewards, and it was difficult to argue the authenticity for a while. And Master Chu is very good at studying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and he can see the authenticity of those tributes at a glance, and no one dares to take fakes to ask for credit.

This move won the favor and trust of the emperor, so he was promoted to a straight and scattered cavalry attendant, and almost every major event had to consult Chu Suiliang. He was cautious in his words and deeds, and always accurately understood the holy will. In daily life, he occasionally shows a straightforward and persistent personality in certain things. These two points are not contradictory, the former satisfies the emperor, and the latter reassures the other courtiers, proving that he is not a flattering and traitorous person.

In a sense, he urged the emperor to consider what impression he would leave on future generations when he took action.

Once the emperor asked Chu Suiliang, can I read the things you remembered? Chu Suiliang replied, so today the establishment of the office of living, that is, the ancient left and right historians, good and evil must be remembered, so that the emperor will not make mistakes. The minister has never heard that the emperor should see these things for himself.

The Emperor asked, "If there is anything wrong with me, do you have to write it down?" ”

Chu Suiliang replied, "This is what my position is, so your every move must be written down." ”

The Emperor raised his fingers in many public ways, not so much out of his own heart, but as a desire to gain the approval of his subordinates, especially the chamberlain, for his words and deeds would go down in history. It's too difficult to write it down and then try to change it, and it's hard to get over it.

After a shy and embarrassing incident between the emperor and the eldest grandson Empress was recorded by the historians, the emperor considered it again and again, considering the influence of all aspects, and then ordered Chu Suiliang to change it with a shy face, and of course Lord Chu, who was upright and loyal to his duties, changed.

His Majesty's brother-in-law, the eldest grandson, knew about this matter, but when the eldest grandson was anxious and shook out when he was the prince, the emperor felt that he was at a loss and had to obey the will of the eldest grandson.

From this point of view, Chu Suiliang's position is extremely important. It's no wonder that important ministers like the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Jian have befriended him.

There is nothing to do in the West, but it is feasible to do something in the East. Jiangnan Shipbuilding has been completed since the beginning of March, and it stands to reason that the army should have been dispatched a long time ago. But seeing that a month had passed, the crusade against Goryeo was put on the agenda.

In addition to Cen Wenwen's serious illness in Liaozhou, which affected the collection of baggage, it is also a reason that Goryeo Gai Suwen did not show up and did not show any stinging performance. There is also a secret letter intercepted from the Qiuzi Butterfly Qin, which also makes the emperor worry about the safety of the direction of Xizhou, so it has been delayed until now.

Now, from Guo Xiaoke's recital, the emperor knows that the security situation in Xizhou has been greatly improved compared to before. He knew what the existence of Futu City and Qiuzi, one east and one west, meant to Xizhou. If the two sides make trouble at the same time, it will be extremely difficult for Guo Xiaoke and Gao Jun to subdue the situation with only two people -- they have no troops.

There is also a Tibetan, condescending to look down on the South Silk Road. Even if they don't have the heart to peep, they can't stand to get up and put on clothes and look there twice, and they can't help but have a bad idea when they come.

And the cooperation and integration of Xizhou and Futu City is more in the emperor's hands than simple force subjugation - there may be resistance after subjugation. And now that the two families have come together, there are benefits and everyone has a share, so what's not to worry about!

And the handling of this matter also confirms from the side how correct the emperor's previous strategy was. Wei Zheng died in the seventeenth year, but the emperor did not forget his attitude when he was strenuously opposed to the occupation of Gaochang. All these years, the emperor has pretended not to see the existence of Futu City and allowed it to have troops, perhaps waiting for such an outcome.

In this way, there is only one turtle left, and the emperor believes that with Guo Xiaoke and Gao Jun, he is not afraid of him. What's the harm in letting them make trouble when the war breaks out in Goryeo! The emperor instructed the crown prince to go to the state to supervise the country, Cheng Zhijie and the eldest grandson Wuji sat in Chang'an, and he planned to conquer in person.

Of course, this matter was first opposed by his closest minister, Lord Chu, Chu Suiliang admonished, His Majesty was a pro-conquest last year, and the facts have proved that the military strength of the Tang Dynasty is by no means comparable to that of the Sui Dynasty.

But he did not realize the ambition of the emperor at this time. At this time, the Tang Dynasty Sanfang Jingning, only one Goryeo had a heart of disobedience, and Emperor Yang of Sui tried to conquer Goryeo three times in an unsuccessful attempt, and exhausted his national strength in the process of conquest. In the fifth year of Wude, the two sides exchanged prisoners during the Sui Dynasty expedition. Goryeo repatriated about 10,000 Great Sui prisoners of war, what a shame!

Under the emperor's tough attitude, Chu Suiliang's exhortation made him feel frightened, and he rarely insisted on continuing to follow the emperor in person.

But the matter of sending vinegar is also a big deal, and if you also act with the army, you will not have time to send vinegar. He thought that this had to be properly left to someone to do it for him. And this person's status is low, and it is not possible to do this small and big thing.

Ordinary people who are not very close to His Majesty are not suitable to do it, and even if they have an identity, they can't do it - if they can't guarantee that this matter will be rumored, and even implicated in the emperor's sending of his daughter-in-law. Master Chu thought of asking Gao Ge Lao to do it, but is it appropriate for a grandfather to send vinegar to his granddaughter-in-law?

He thought of the eldest grandson, who was public and private, and this was the best candidate.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't imagine that Lord Chu would explain such a thing before leaving. He readily agreed, thinking that he would have time to take another look at the most beautiful young lady Liu in the Gao Mansion.

After sending off the army that went on the expedition, the eldest grandson got up and came to Xinglufang Gaofu. He was very proper, and thought that if he was accompanied by people from the high mansion, it would be more reasonable.
