To the north of the Hanyuan Hall is the Xuanzheng Palace, and the small court meeting of Wangshuo (the fifteenth day of the first month) is carried out here.

Yu Lang knelt outside the Xuanzheng Palace, and he had to wait for Li Linfu to disperse before he could take him out, otherwise with his current status, he would be detained by the forbidden army if he was not careful in the imperial city.

Yu Lang originally had no intention of listening to the movements in the Xuanzheng Palace, after all, in the deep palace, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, if it was detected by a certain old monster with profound cultivation, it would not be good, as Xuanzong's voice gradually rose up, there were some words that he still drilled into his ears even if he didn't want to hear them.

"An Sishun, you are such a big dog!" Xuanzong's voice was full of anger, "I like this five-colored jade belt very much, but I want to make another one for the jade ring, you dare to say that there is no such five-colored jade?" As far as I know, the Anxi vassal kingdoms pay tribute to my Tang Dynasty every year, but they are greedy for ink by your Shuofang Jiedu Mansion? ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Shuo Fang Jiedu made An Sishun grab the ground with his head, and there was a bang, "Your Majesty, the five-colored jade transported by the various vassal countries has been detained by the lord of the Little Bolu Kingdom, and he has repeatedly sent people to loot. In the desert, our Shuofang army is also beyond the reach of the whip. ”

Yu Lang's heart moved, remembering that he had indeed seen the little Bolu lord send men and horses to loot the five-colored jade in the desert half a year ago, and at that time, according to Kudoza, the little Bolu lord collected these five-colored jade for cultivation.

Xuanzong was even more angry: "I am in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the Heavenly Empire, and I was robbed of tribute by a small Bolu country, what is the use of raising you this Shuofang Festival!" Rubbish! ”

"It seems that I am too kind to these feudal states, it's time for them to meet the soldiers of my Great Tang Dynasty! Which Aiqing is willing to lead the troops for me to level Xiao Bolu, promote the official to a product, give a thousand gold, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households! Xuanzong impulsively opened his mouth to offer a reward.

Li Shizhi, the left minister, hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Majesty, although Xiao Bolu is a small country, but hiding in the desert, our army's labor expedition may not be able to achieve miraculous feats, if it is defeated, the prestige of my Tang Dynasty in the hearts of the vassal states will be even more lost." ”

"Shut up! Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, my Tang Dynasty has become a martial artist and a guest servant, so I have never been afraid of these small feudal states. Taizong has Li Jing and Xu Maogong, and Gaozong has Xue Rengui, where will the Tiger of Me be? ”

A group of generals knelt down one after another: "The last general!" ”

Shuo Fang Jie Du An Sishun knew that there was no shortage of capable people in Xiao Bolu, and the new lord of the country was also a Zhongxing figure who worked hard to govern the country, and he might not be able to take advantage of the rash war, so he immediately dissuaded Xuanzong: "Your Majesty ......"

"You're too embarrassed to speak! If you have half the ability of the emperor's family, why should this matter alarm me? You can't even suppress a little Bolu, but the Huangfu Festival has defeated the Tibetan army one after another! is also a festival envoy, I don't know what kind of face you have to come to Chang'an to see me! Xuanzong felt depressed when he saw An Sishun's submissive face.

Although Xuanzong praised Huangfu Weiming, this time he was unwilling to use Huangfu Weiming's Eastern Crusade, this person was too close to the prince.

"Your Majesty, it's okay to lead the troops to wipe out Xiao Bolu, but you have to use the right person." Li Linfu, who had been turning off the fire across the bank, finally opened his mouth.

"Oh? Who is Lee Sang's candidate? Let's hear it. "Xuanzong's anger has finally dropped a little.

Li Linfu said lightly: "Wang Tianyun, the general of Qianniu Longwu, is brave and martial, and he is worthy of this position. ”

Wang Tianyun responded and walked out of the ranks of generals, hugged his fists and said: "The last general is willing to lead the troops to level Xiao Bolu!" ”

There was a low ridicule in the court, this person is Li Linfu's son-in-law, relying on this nepotism to mix with this general from the third grade of Qianniu Longwu, everyone knows that he is a big straw bag with a beautiful face, and if he fights, he may not even be able to beat the ordinary firehead army (cooking soldiers) in the army, and letting him lead the troops to fight Xiao Bolu is tantamount to death.

In line with the idea of making Li Linfu ugly, there was not much opposition among the courtiers this time.

"In addition, the minister also recommends a young man to serve as the lieutenant general of the army." Li Linfu's reaction to everyone had been expected, and he added unhurriedly.

"Who is it?" Xuanzong was also very curious about what kind of medicine Li Linfu sold in his gourd, and sending his son-in-law, who he had painstakingly cultivated, to send him to death, was not the usual style of this old fox.

"It's from the five-rank riding captain Yu Lang Yu Ziyou!"

The crown prince Li Heng showed a look of surprise on his face: "Yu Lang is still alive?" I thought he had died as a teenager in the battle of Lan Evil City that day, so I didn't have time to reward him. ”

Li Heng knew in advance that Li Linfu wanted to attack today with last year's corruption of ink and military exploits, and took the lead in expressing his innocence, but he didn't know that Li Longji had already seen Yu Lang before the court meeting. This is Li Linfu thinking one more step than Li Heng.

Xuanzong hesitated: "Yu Ziyou is certainly a young talent, but now he is still young, is he too anxious to serve as the deputy general of the first army?" ”

Originally, the position of deputy general was dispensable, and it did not require too high ability, and ordinary noble children would also be arranged to make military merits in the position of deputy general, but Xuanzong knew that Wang Tianyun was a big straw bag, and Yu Lang, the deputy general, was almost going to serve as the commander of the army, and this burden was a little too heavy for a young man who was only seventeen years old.

"Since ancient times, heroes have been out of youth, Huo Quai's seventeen-year-old Xiongnu Shan Yu, the official worship champion Hou, although Yu Ziyou is young, he is both civil and military, and he may not be able to build this immortal feat!" Li Linfu compared Yu Lang with Huo Quai, and he already admired him to the extreme.

What emperor doesn't love a young general? They are loyal and brave, have no scheming, and only have a passion for serving the country. Affected by Li Linfu's words, Xuanzong was also full of spirits: "I want to see if he can become the second Huo Quai!" Yu Ziyou was promoted to the general of Dingyuan, the upper rank of the fifth grade, as the deputy general of the Western Expeditionary Army, the chief general of the Xiaocai battalion, and Wang Tianyun led an army of 40,000 to defeat Xiao Bolu! ”

Li Linfu shouted outside the door of the hall: "Yu Ziyou, don't come in to receive the order and thank you!" ”

Yu Lang walked into the Xuanzheng Hall and bowed to thanksgiving.

There are many masters among the generals, and as soon as they saw Yu Lang's breathing, they knew that this person was in no phase, and they all put away their contempt.

"At the age of seventeen, if this person's military talent is as outstanding as his personal strength, he may not be able to perform this miraculous feat, and at that time, Li Linfu will not only lead the civil ministers, but also have a great increase in power among the generals." Seeing Yu Lang's cultivation, the ministers who had made up their minds to see Li Linfu make a fool of themselves began to worry again.

The crown prince Li Heng was the first to object: "Father! What kind of goods Wang Tianyun is, you must know in your heart, although Yu Ziyou is a heavenly posture, after all, the experience of leading troops is still shallow, and it is also a big deal to defeat Xiao Bolu, will this move be too hasty? ”

Li Linfu frowned, even if Li Heng's words didn't work, they also had a divisive effect on Wang Tianyun, and this son had grown a lot.

Xuanzong waved his hand: "Among the generals who command the army, how many of them have reached the cultivation of the Phaseless Realm?" With personal force alone, Yu Ziyou can afford to take on the position of deputy general, not to mention that I will arrange other backbone generals in the Western Expeditionary Army, and the prince does not need to say much, I have made up my mind. ”

Although Li Heng was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to persuade again, so he had to shake his head and sigh. He failed to recruit Yu Lang to his command at the first time, but was taken first by Li Linfu, and he seized this excellent opportunity to make contributions, and the wise men of the East Palace inevitably had to bear the thunderous anger of the crown prince Li Heng.

The court will disperse, and the officials will return.

Yu Lang, who left the Suzaku Gate, didn't think it was a beautiful difference. Xiao Boluguo said that it was not big, and in the face of the danger of losing the country, 100,000 soldiers who could fight could still make it up, not to mention that there was a Tubo who was dependent on each other, leading an army of 40,000 to work on an expedition, and the chances of victory were not so great.

At this time, there is still a month before the army starts, and Yu Lang has to make some more arrangements in Chang'an City.
