"What's more, what Cui Shangshu said about Xiongjin Sima and the businessman, the sons and daughters don't dare to agree, the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion is my Tang Dynasty land, and it has been invaded for no reason, how can a misunderstanding explain it? What's more, my training soldiers were lost near the city gate, and Silla is only a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty, as an official of the kingdom, what is the fault of looking for lost soldiers in one of his cities? As a commander of the army, since he loves soldiers like sons, the soldiers under his command are lost, what is the fault of going to find them? If according to what Pei Shizhong and Cui Shangshu said, after the soldiers of our army were lost, it was right for the generals to ignore the party? ”

Li Xian's eyes glanced fiercely at Pei Yan and Cui Zhiyi on the side, and then continued: "Also, although those businessmen have a lowly status, they are also my Datang people, and they pay taxes to the state on weekdays? Now that they have been unjustly killed, will we not seek justice for them? If this is the case, our actions will chill the hearts of businessmen all over the world, and who will travel thousands of miles abroad in the future? Who else would want to pay taxes for the state? What's more, as a superior country, my Datang can't even protect the people of my country? What other face will be respected by other countries? ”

Li Xian's words were really heartfelt, and immediately aroused a clapping applaud from the ministers, and the prince Shaobao Hao Chujun immediately clapped his hands and praised: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true, and Weichen also agrees, the reason why my Datang is feared by other countries is mainly because there are a group of people with lofty ideals who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and in return, my Datang must also ensure their safety, whether it is in my Datang, or any country in other regions, my Datang people cannot be bullied, as for being unjustly killed for no reason, That's a loss of face for my Tang Dynasty, so Wechen also thinks that when we send troops to Silla, we can deter other countries by teaching Silla a lesson, so that such accidents will not happen again, in fact, if you think about it carefully, this matter is not just for the people? It is also for the majesty of my Datang. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The young master of the crown prince, Liu Renliang, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the queen of heaven, now my Tang Dynasty has been fighting in the northeast for more than ten years, and the Silla thieves are ready to move, fanning the flames everywhere, lest the world will not be chaotic, and at this time, the situation in the west and northwest is easing, and it is the time to use troops against Silla. ”

This time, except for Li Xian, none of his ministers said a word, and just a letter from the three loyal ministers under Gaozong was equivalent to dropping bombshells one after another, which made it difficult for Empress Wu and her henchmen to accept.

At this time, the ministers under Li Xian, such as Wang Bo, Lu Zhaolin, Luo Bin Wang, Du Xianyan, Guo Yuanzhen, Chen Ziang, as well as the newly promoted Yao Yuanzhi, Song Jing and others all bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, Liu Shaofu's words are very true, and the ministers and others seconded the proposal. ”

At the same time, many middle- and low-level officials also bowed their heads and said: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Hearing this, Gaozong was also shaken again in his heart, nodded and said: "You Aiqing and Xian'er are right, although the financial difficulties, but my Datang can still afford to fight this battle, I believe that after this battle, my Datang Eastern Frontier can be stable for at least ten years, if it is properly disposed of in the future, it is estimated that the Eastern Frontier will be Yong'an, uh, Mei Niang, I don't know what you think?" ”

For the current situation, even if there are those henchmen around her who are waving their flags and shouting, the Empress Wu also knows that she can't do anything, but she is not an ordinary person, and immediately thought of a new idea, so she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and all the Aiqing all have the intention of serving the country with their fists, although the concubines are women, they are also responsible, and the concubines have no opinion on the crusade against Silla, and then let's discuss the pacification of the commander of Silla." The concubines thought that the pacification of Silla was none other than General Xue Rengui. ”

"Hehe, Mei Niang's recommendation is exactly what I want, I think so too, what do you think?" Gaozong couldn't help but be very happy when he saw that Empress Wu unexpectedly recommended his cronies, but he was also embarrassed to make decisions directly, so he asked the ministers.

Seeing that the opinions of the "two sages" who had been wrestling their wrists were surprisingly unified, the ministers naturally had no opinions, and praised the emperor Shengming in unison.

But Li Xian knew that there must be a conspiracy here, so he looked at Empress Wu suspiciously, not knowing what medicine was sold in her gourd.

Gaozong was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then it is decided, the main general of this expedition is Xue Rengui, and this time it is necessary to break Silla and redefine the border." ”

But seeing that the Empress Wu smiled faintly: "The main general is decided, and the deputy general will naturally choose one, and the concubine will elect the right guard general Quan boy, this person has a prestige in Liaodong, if he goes to comfort the people of Goryeo's hometown, he will definitely be able to get the help of the people, so that the Goguryeo army and the people will serve me for the Tang Dynasty, so that the matter of Ping Silla will be twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Well, that's very reasonable, and I'm ....... right."

"Father", Gaozong's words were not finished, but he saw Li Xian suddenly kneeling on the ground, and said solemnly: "Father, this matter must not be allowed, the original people of Goguryeo have long forgotten the pain of losing the country after more than ten years of management and education by General Xue, and they don't know what Goguryeo is. Although we can defeat Silla more conveniently, it will cause instability in Goguryeo, and if he also strikes a counterattack at that time, wouldn't it create more turmoil like the Turkic rebellion and the Silla rebellion? ”

But he heard that Empress Wu sneered: "The prince is very worried, but you are just speculating on the basis of doubting General Quan's loyalty, and in the final analysis, it is just speculation, if General Quan is loyal to my Tang Dynasty, aren't all your speculations just groundless suspicions?" Every year in my Datang, there are generals who surrender to Cheng, if you have this attitude, which other Fan general is willing to surrender to my Datang? ”

As soon as Empress Wu finished speaking, he saw that the boy immediately stood up, and then said to Gaozong: "Weichen's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen every day, if Weichen dares to betray His Majesty, he is willing to suffer the curse of heaven, and after death, he will go to the eighteenth layer of hell, and he will not be able to live forever." ”

Hearing this, Gaozong also nodded lightly, and said gently: "Quan Aiqing, I know that you are loyal and have always been virtuous, how can you not believe it?" Hehe, this expedition to Silla, you will be the deputy governor of Jincheng Province and the ambassador of comfort. As for the other deputy governor, let Li Duozuo, the governor of Xiongjin Prefecture, do it, and the matter is so decided, disperse the dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty, slow down, the concubine still has something to say." Empress Wu saw that Gaozong was going to disperse, so she sat still, and then arched her hand at Gaozong and said.

"Oh? I don't know what else is going on with Mei Niang? Gaozong was very strange when he heard this, and couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued.) )
