Chapter 502: How to Explain

Xue Li has already entered Beijing, and in the next court meeting, Li Er will start to discuss this matter.

The tone of the Eastern Crusade has basically been set, and now it is only a matter of selecting troops and selecting generals, as well as the issue of soldiers' food and grass, which will be the issues to be discussed in the next court meeting.

Zhang Yi got up on the fourth watch.

Today is the day of the court, he has to go, and he has to go in the past full of energy, because today, it is likely to be the day of his tongue war, in order to be able to scold and win those guys, Zhang Yi deliberately rested for a day yesterday, just to accumulate spirit.

Because it was still relatively early, Zhang Yi chose to take a carriage to Chang'an this time.

Although the speed of riding a horse is twice as fast as riding a carriage, the riding is a little tiring, and it will affect his appearance, and if the wind is a little stronger, his hair will have to be blown up.

He had to make sure that he was in the best shape to deal with those guys now, otherwise he would most likely be thrown into the battlefield by Li Er again.

He didn't want to go through another war, so he would rather be tired now, and he would be able to continue to be his rich man in Zhangjiazhuang in the future.

Anyway, a lot of people want to make meritorious contributions, and they recommend them to go up, and they have to be grateful to themselves in the future.

The court discussion soon began, and Li Eryi came up to discuss the issue of the Eastern Crusade, and everyone knew what was going to be said today, so they also began to express their opinions.

"The pioneer of the Eastern Crusade, Bo Zhang Yi of Jingyang County recommended Xue Li in Hedong, I don't know what you have to say."

After talking about the previous things, Li Er finally mentioned Xue Li.

As soon as Li Er's voice fell, there was an immediate opposition in the court.

"I've inquired about this Xue Li, it's just a yellow-mouthed child in the year of a weak crown, I'm afraid it's difficult to take on this big responsibility."

"The minister seconded the proposal, after all, the matter of the Eastern Crusade is not trivial, Hedong Xue Li has not experienced war, and he is still young, and he has not proved whether he is capable of leading the army to fight, so the minister thinks that this matter cannot be done, and we can't joke with the lives of the soldiers."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are here for a few words, but it is related to the lives of countless soldiers in front, and the military is a major event, and it is not child's play."

In the court, there was a lot of opposition, whether it was a civil servant or a military general, this time, they were very united and chose to oppose.

Anyway, it's too risky to let a stinky kid be a pioneer, if you want a guy like Cheng Chumo to be a pioneer, it's reasonable, after all, he is a tiger in the door, and he also has his father Cheng Biting Gold to support.

But what are those Xue Rengui? I've never heard of it, and I'm so young, I have no qualifications, no experience, nothing, in their opinion, breaking the sky, it's just a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu plus something on paper, and it can't become a big climate.

And those people who Zhang Yi lobbied before, seeing the huge momentum of those who oppose him now, also chose to remain silent.

In fact, if they didn't stand up against Zhang Yi together, they already gave Zhang Yi a lot of face.

Above the court, more than half of the people were against it.

Li Er didn't say anything, just sat there quietly and listened to everyone arguing.

And Zhang Yi didn't bother to refute them at this time, it didn't matter what those people thought, he only needed to get Li Er's support and affirmation, and then he would be better than half of the voices of the people here.

After the dissenting people took turns to express their opinions, Li Er looked at Zhang Yi and asked him to come out and explain his views and why he recommended Xue Li.

Zhang Yi stood up and looked at Li Er and said: "I remember that I once told Your Majesty that if I tell who the person I recommend is, then I will suffer the opposition of the princes above the court, and even this Manchu Dynasty, no one will support me." ”

Zhang Yi said awe-inspiringly, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Li Er nodded and said, "Well, I remember you said this, and I wanted to ask you some reasons at that time." ”

Li Er obviously didn't forget what Zhang Yi said that day.

"Go on." Li Er motioned for Zhang Yi to continue.

Zhang Yi continued: "Since I know that if I recommend him, I will be subjected to verbal criticism from the princes in the court, so why should I recommend him? ”

"Why?" As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, Li Er immediately asked.

"Because he has real talent and learning, and I am afraid that we do not understand Goguryeo as much as he does."

"If you don't believe it, you can test him in person, and see if he has real materials or just a straw bale, these things can't be faked, everyone will know if they try it in the past."

Zhang Yi began to fool everyone in the court with his most worthless things, and these people were really stunned by Zhang Yi.

People in this era pay attention to honor.

What kind of person is Zhang Yi? Zhang Yi is a noble, and he is a big celebrity in front of Li Er recently, why does he dare to use his name to vouch for a fledgling and little-known boy, then this kid must have something to expect.

And when Zhang Yi said this, it gave him a feat of sacrificing himself and promoting talents for the country, and he would rather give up his reputation than let celebrities be buried, which made many people cheer for him in their hearts.

And those who had opposing opinions before looked at Zhang Yi's eyes at this time, at least this guy didn't rely on his power to recommend people to Li Er indiscriminately.

However, the war is not a child's play, even if Zhang Yi bets on his own name, the risk is still too great, and those people still dare not joke about the lives of the soldiers and the success or failure of the war.

"Has Jingyang County Bo seen Hedong Xue Li before? If so, where have you seen it? ”

threw a few questions directly to Zhang Yi, and if Zhang Yi couldn't give them a satisfactory explanation, they would still continue to choose to object.

Zhang Yi spread his hands very simply and said: "I have never seen him before, but I know him as a person, and I was told by an immortal that I could help the Tang Dynasty defeat Goguryeo, so I came here with an old face to plead." ”

"In short, no matter what, I don't want Xue Li to be buried, let him be a pioneer, and he will definitely not give in."

Zhang Yi's statement is obviously not satisfactory to those people.

"Since Uncle Jingyang County hasn't seen Xue Li, why are you so sure that he will be able to do it?"

If Zhang Yi just wanted to use the method of fooling the past with the dream of immortals, it would obviously not work.

"Uncle Jingyang County, explain, you haven't seen him, why do you know him so well, and are you so sure that he will be able to be the vanguard of my Tang Army?"
