Fushimi Hirohito accompanied him with three major artifacts and displayed them on the top of the main hall for the ministers to see, and the ministers were amazed after seeing them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, no one can see the secret.

Li Longji's face was very ugly, he was eager to get the elixir of life, because he attached great importance to the secrets of the three major artifacts.

However, among the hundreds of civil and military officials, only Li Canghai had learned the three major artifacts, and Li Canghai was sent to Silla to fight against the Japanese, which made him very annoyed.

was unhappy, Li Longji didn't have any thoughts about the court, he waved his hand and wanted to retreat.

At this moment, Yang Guozhong suddenly walked out of the court and bowed to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, the minister received a report from Silla before the last court. The generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition, Li Canghai, did not lead his troops to Silla on time, and, most strangely, all the 30,000 troops were lost for no reason. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked.

"How could an army of 30,000 disappear for no reason? What's going on? ”

"Strange, is it possible that the 30,000 army has grown wings and flown away?"

"I think there must be something strange ...... this."

……

Among the ministers, there were whispers, and everyone had a confused expression.

Li Longji, who was just about to retire from the dynasty, heard this, and immediately sat back on the dragon chair, he stroked his beard, frowned and asked, "What's going on?" Why did the 30,000-strong army suddenly disappear? ”

"The minister also felt strange, the minister asked the various state capitals along the way, and they did not find the whereabouts of the 30,000 army, as if the 30,000 army suddenly disappeared from the world." Speaking of this, Yang Guozhong narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The minister suspects that Li Canghai is afraid of going into battle to kill the enemy, but he is afraid that His Majesty will punish him, so he fled with the army!" ”

As soon as Yang Guozhong's words came out, the already turbulent lake suddenly set off stormy waves.

Cui Jian immediately walked out of the court, and after saluting Li Longji, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty! Lord Li is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for him to do such a rebellious thing! In the opinion of the minister, this matter is still to be investigated! ”

The secretary of the military department and the secretary of the ministry also walked out of the court and echoed what Cui Jian said.

When Yang Guozhong saw Cui Jian and the others fighting against him, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he said: "Lord Cui, the matter is already very clear, if it wasn't for him who led the army to flee privately, why didn't he go to Silla to fight against the Japanese?" ”

Cui Lian glanced at him, and said, "Lord Yang, dare to ask what is the distance from Yanzhou to Silla?" ”

"Master Cui, what are you asking for?" Yang Guozhong frowned and asked.

Cui Lian didn't pay attention to him, but turned to the ministers and asked, "Do you know how far apart the two places are?" ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu walked out, and after saluting Li Longji, he said: "Your Majesty, there is a distance of 1,500 miles between Yanzhou and Silla. ”

Cui Lian nodded, then looked at Yang Guozhong and said: "Lord Yang, the two places are separated by more than 1,500 miles, and there are even more mountains and mountains in between, but Lord Yang only gave Lord Li two days to lead an army of 30,000 from Yanzhou to Silla, which is inevitably a bit difficult for a strong man, right?" ”

Yang Guozhong's eyes snorted coldly: "Master Cui, you are deliberately exonerating Li Canghai, right?" The battle situation in Silla was tight, and the Dongying army was pressing the border, and it was already approaching the royal capital of Silla. Giving Li Canghai two days was already a grace limit, and the military order was like a mountain, since he was the generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition, he should solve all difficulties and rush to Silla to support. ”

After a pause, he made a righteous appearance and said, "Even if he fails to arrive at Silla on time, as long as there is a legitimate reason, the Holy One will naturally understand." However, he fled with 30,000 troops, which is an act of treason! ”

Cui Lian secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, Yang Guozhong's three sentences were not separated from treason, which was obviously to catch Li Canghai for treason.

However, Yang Guozhong did not stop because of this, he knelt down in front of Li Longji, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you trust Li Canghai so much, but he has done such a rebellious thing. Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to arrest Li Canghai with all his might! ”

Li Longji's eyes were slightly cold, and he seemed to have begun to believe what Yang Guozhong said.

At this moment, Li Qi walked out of the court and said lightly: "Lord Yang, this king has a few words I want to ask you for." Since Lord Yang knew that the war situation in Silla was tight, why did he only give Li Canghai 30,000 horses? You know that Dongying and Baekje have more than 200,000 allied forces, but you let Li Canghai bring such a few people to Dongying, this king is very suspicious of Lord Yang's intentions! Are you concerned about the situation in Silla, or are you asking my Tang soldiers to go to their deaths? ”

Li Qi's voice was flat, but his words were full of sharpness.

Yang Guozhong's face suddenly became ugly, he didn't expect Li Qi to come out against him again.

Yang Guozhong's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly saluted Li Longji, and said, "Your Majesty, King Jianning's words are malicious slander against Weichen!" The minister is loyal to His Majesty, please be aware of it! ”

Li Longji stroked his beard, frowned, and said, "Thirty thousand? Wasn't it 50,000 before? These 30,000 horses are really a little less, what's going on? ”

Yang Guozhong's eyes rolled wildly, and he hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the original minister planned to give Li Canghai 50,000 horses, but the Turkic Turks had an incident and tried in vain to attack our border town, and they couldn't draw troops for a while, so they could only temporarily give Li Canghai 30,000 horses." ”

Li Longji sighed, he nodded and said, "In this way, it is also said in the past." ”

Seeing that Li Longji did not have the slightest doubt about Yang Guozhong's words, the loyal generals shook their heads and sighed in their hearts.

Yang Guozhong is clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open, although the national strength of the Tang Dynasty today is not as good as ten years ago, but the military strength is also considered strong, how can he not draw troops?

But Li Longji favored Yang Guozhong, but everyone was helpless.

Li Qi narrowed his eyes, and then said, "In this way, Lord Yang should have a follow-up plan?" ”

With the emperor supporting him, Yang Guozhong's expression suddenly became proud, and he hummed: "This is natural, the 30,000 army is just for emergency relief, and this official has been deploying troops in the past two days, preparing to send a large army to Silla." ”

Li Qi sighed, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and after saluting Li Longji, he said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, since Lord Yang thinks that two days from Yanzhou to Silla is enough, it is better to let Lord Yang lead troops to support Silla, so that the ministers and others can see and understand." ”

Cui Jian and the others saw that Li Qi had made a stumbling block for Yang Guozhong, and they all felt relieved in their hearts, and at the same time saluted Li Longji: "Your Majesty, the ministers also support what King Jianning said, let Lord Yang lead the troops to Silla to fight against the Japanese!" ”

Yang Guozhong saw that Cui Lian and the others and Li Qi had joined forces to oppose him, and his face suddenly became as if he had eaten a lump of stool, as ugly as it was. (To be continued.) )
