"Huh? Xue Aiqing? ”

There was silence in the hall, and when all the ministers were still shocked by the name Xue Rengui, Li Zhi said a sentence lightly.

Although the voice was low, Li Hong could hear it clearly, and he heard a hint of unusual taste......

"What does General Pei think?"

What everyone didn't expect was that Li Zhi would ask Pei Xingjian.

Because although the matter of the Eastern Crusade can be regarded as a military matter, you must know that Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui have a very good personal relationship, and even when Xue Rengui was convicted, Pei Xingjian repeatedly wrote to defend himself.

At the beginning, Xue Rengui's killing of prisoners caused a huge shock in the court, whether it was in the traditional Confucian concept, or in the army, or even in the community, they all agreed that the pawn would not be killed, so Xue Rengui's behavior can be said to be a public anger.

And in the end, he was able to retreat with his whole body, in addition to Li Zhi's maintenance, it was because Pei Xingjian personally went to Li Ji's mansion and begged him to suppress all the grievances of the military.

At this moment, Li Zhi opened his mouth to ask Pei Xingjian's opinion, and it was clear that he was giving Xue Rengui a chance!

"Back to Your Majesty, Rengui's self-cultivation over the years, his temper has already been greatly improved, indeed, as His Royal Highness King Yong said, Rengui's art of war and martial arts are the best choice, and he is qualified for the Eastern Crusade!"

However, what was surprising was that Pei Xingjian did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment before he said slowly.

He also knew that the original incident had made many ministers have a rather bad impression of Xue Rengui, so he was also a little tactful when he spoke.

It's just that Li Hong was keenly aware that Pei Xingjian had just glanced in his direction, and he was stunned in his heart, and suddenly understood the reason for Pei Xingjian's hesitation.

At the beginning of the Great Dynasty Meeting, Li Hong used to be kind to him, but now Li Xian has increasingly revealed his intention to seize the heir, and at this time, it stands to reason that Pei Xingjian should not approve of Li Xian's proposal.

But his friendship with Xue Rengui is indeed very deep, seeing him being idle because of a momentary mistake, Pei Xingjian really couldn't bear it, so after hesitating again and again, he still chose to recommend Xue Rengui.

"Your Majesty, General Xue is indeed wise and brave, but his temperament is too violent, the Eastern Expedition is very important, and the position of commander must not be held by Xue Rengui!"

However, seeing that Li Zhi had some intentions, Hao Chujun suddenly stood up and directly vetoed this matter.

And Li Zhi's face that had just eased a little suddenly sank again!

It's just that Hao Chujun also feels a little helpless, it's really not that he has to sweep the emperor's prosperity, but it is really not a trivial matter to reactivate Xue Rengui, the government and the opposition will inevitably have a lot of discussions, if he doesn't come out now, it is conceivable that there will be more opposition than snowflakes.

As the governor of Zhongshu Province, he will inevitably be blamed, but Xu Jingzong, who is also the head of the ministers, is used to being scolded, and he will definitely not come forward at this time, so this drudgery will fall on him......

"Hong'er, what do you think?"

was choked by Hao Chujun like this, and Li Zhi couldn't give a direct order, so he had to set his eyes on Li Hong.

Although this matter is not small, if there is the support of the East Palace, the resistance of the court will be much smaller.

"Uh......"

Li Hong frowned slightly, but he didn't react for a while.

Because he suddenly remembered a palace secret, and suddenly understood why Li Xian recommended Xue Rengui!

When Li Zhi first ascended the throne in his early years, a flash flood broke out in Chang'an City, and the water rushed straight to Xuanwu Gate, and the soldiers who were guarding at that time fled in all directions, only Xue Rengui desperately rushed into the imperial city and showed the police to the inner palace that Li Zhi escaped.

From this point of view, Xue Rengui can be regarded as Li Zhi's life-saving benefactor, but for some reason, this matter was finally concealed.

After all, Li Zhi had just ascended the throne, and if this matter was publicized, it was likely to be given some different meanings......

But despite this, since then, Xue Rengui has been deeply trusted by Li Zhi!

Even if Xue Rengui was impeached, Li Zhi always tried his best to defend him......

At this moment, Li Xian brought Xue Rengui up, in fact, the drunkard did not mean to drink at all, Xue Rengui and Li Xianping had no friendship, but this palace secret, Li Xian was clear.

His purpose is actually to force Li Hong to express his position!

Because Xue Rengui is the candidate proposed by Li Xian, and if Li Hong agrees with this matter, he will lose in this game, but if Li Hong opposes, he will be offended by Li Zhi and Pei Xingjian.

It's a dilemma!

"Hong'er?"

Seeing that Li Hong was silent, Li Zhi's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"Back to my father, my sons think that the Eastern Crusade is very important and cannot be easily decided, so it is better to ask the opinion of the British Duke before making a decision!"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Hong said slowly.

Even if he didn't directly show his attitude, he was undoubtedly weaker in terms of momentum.

"That's fine, this matter will be discussed at a later date!"

Seeing Li Hong's attitude, Li Zhi also knew that this matter could not be easily settled, so he no longer dwelled on it.

What's more, the major events of the Eastern Crusade really need to seek Li Ji's opinion.

This is the end of this strange little pilgrimage.

Although Li Hong didn't say much, compared to King Yong's smug face, the back of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaving seemed a little bleak.

After all, in the eyes of the ministers, this confrontation was the upper hand of King Yong anyway, first His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked for King Yong to be resigned, but His Majesty rejected it, and then, King Yong brought the recital of Quan Boy, and in one fell swoop decided the major event of the expedition to Goguryeo.

Even in the end, the candidates recommended by His Royal Highness King Yong were almost approved.

Although there is a part of the borrowing of the situation, in the eyes of everyone, it is undoubtedly His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has fallen behind.

Even Dai Zhide's face had a hint of worry......

But what everyone didn't see was that Li Hong, who seemed to be leaving quickly, did not have the slightest frustration on his face, and even had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Walking out of the main hall, Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's events were indeed a bit unexpected to him, but he didn't expect Li Xian to be able to get the recital of the spring boy, and what he didn't expect was that Goguryeo was already in chaos like this!

And, I'm afraid that after today, more people will surface......

Li Hong sighed softly, in fact, he could guess a few points about Li Zhi's thoughts, but he had always disapproved of this approach.

Because people's hearts are unpredictable, who can really guess thoroughly?

It's just that the development of things can not be as good as expected, whether Li Hong agrees with it or not, Li Zhi's big game of chess has already begun! (To be continued.) )
