Chapter 813: Northern Expedition

"Hey, it happened." After Shen Qianqiu left, Li Xin sighed deeply, originally these things could have been avoided, and even Li Xin wanted to remind Li Jiancheng.

Of course, this is because Li Xin has a very good impression of Li Jiancheng, and on the other hand, it is also because Li Jiancheng is good at governing the country and not good at fighting. It's a pity that Du Ruhui and others are different, they want Li Shimin to kill his brother and force his father.

In their opinion, Li Shimin may be difficult to deal with, but Li Shimin after killing his brother and forcing his father is much easier, because in order to avoid being purged by Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng's remnants will definitely submit to Li Xin, even on the battlefield, the morale of the soldiers will be much lowered, and even sometimes, they can win without much effort.

No matter who kills, there is not much difference in the effect that can be achieved, everyone does not want Li Xin not to notify Li Jiancheng, because Li Jiancheng's existence is legitimate, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and the family will support Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin's behavior violated the unspoken rules of the family in private, and he won the victory, and it was only temporary, although he sat on the throne of the prince, but once the war was stalemate or even defeated, these family families would oppose Li Shimin one after another.

"Now you can finally do it, Li Shimin, it's a pity, if it had been earlier, maybe I would have struggled for a while, and I didn't have much time for you, so you can only be a defeated general under me." Li Xin stood up and said to Song He in the distance: "Pass the decree, ring the Jingyang Bell, the Qianyang Palace, gather all the ministers, the ministers above the fifth rank in Beijing must come, and the generals above the Lang General in Beijing will also go to the court." ”

"Yes." Song He was shocked in his heart, he heard it very clearly on the side just now, and knew that Li Xin had gathered ministers at this time. I'm afraid it's going to be a Northern Expedition, and I don't know if the world will be calmed down after this war.

"Let Master Pei come too, send a chariot over, and pick him up." Li Xin commanded again behind his back.

After half ringing, the bell in front of the Qianyang Palace rang, and it instantly spread throughout the entire Chang'an City, and some ministers, whether on duty or resting, were awakened by the bell. Each did not dare to slack off. They all came towards the Qianyang Palace.

"What's going on?" Many ministers are either vermilion or crimson, and it is rare for many officials to go to court at this time. Along the way, ministers with whom they had a better relationship asked each other.

"Needless to say, it must be a big deal, look at the Wude Palace, Wuying Hall A few scholars are here, look, and Master Pei is also here." The crowd suddenly looked at the chariot in the distance, and saw a gray-haired old man sitting on the chariot. Coming slowly, it was Pei Shiju, and when these ministers saw this, they stood on both sides of the Dragon Forbidden Road. Saluted.

"Although the old man has left the imperial court, no one can surpass his prestige in the imperial court." Cen Wenwen said to the eldest grandson Wuji beside him. He, the eldest grandson Wuji and others are also on the side, this is the general trend.

"The boss is highly respected and trusted by His Majesty. It is also expected to have such grace, but His Majesty is meeting the ministers at this time. Don't know what happened? Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and said.

"It seems that this time is a big deal, otherwise, Your Majesty would not have made such a big formation." Cen Wenwen said in a low voice: "Could it be that the emperor wants to go on a northern expedition?" ”

After hearing this, Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes lit up, he looked at Cen Wenwen, and said, "Unless Li Zhao has a big problem, otherwise, Your Majesty will not go on a Northern Expedition at this time." ”

Cen Wenwen also nodded, I am afraid that only this kind of thing will make Li Xin make such a decision, both of them are rare wise men in the world, and when they thought of this question, they suddenly became righteous.

At this time, Pei Shiju's chariot stopped, and an attendant stepped forward and helped Pei Shiju down, Pei Shiju arched his hand towards everyone and said: "Hehe, I didn't expect to come to Qianyang Hall at this time, old, old." ”

"Boss, Your Majesty has probably been waiting for a long time, please." Du Ruhui arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty summoned me today, I'm afraid that something big has happened, so I will disturb the rest of the boss." ”

"It's better for everyone! To be able to follow His Majesty's side and watch His Majesty unify the world, the old man is very envious! Pei Shiju said with a smile. Although he looks pretty good now, even Pei Shiju himself doesn't know how long he is old and how long he can support him.

"Maybe the boss's hope will come true." Cen Wenwen stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Oh, could it be that Your Majesty is going on a northern expedition this time?" Pei Shiju's eyes lit up, and his face was suddenly full of smiles, and he said: "Let's go, go to the court, if this is the news, the old man will have to drink three cups." ”

"I'll be with you." Du Ruhui and the others also surrounded Pei Shiju and entered the Qianyang Palace. At this moment, there are already a lot of brocade stools in the Qianyang Palace, of course, there are only dozens of Zhu Zi ministers who can sit on the brocade stools, and the lowest is the title of the county duke.

"The emperor has arrived."

Song He's shrill voice rang out, and the ministers who had already sat down stood up one after another, including Pei Shiju, who also stood up tremblingly and saluted to the throne.

"Your Majesty."

"Flat, sit." Li Xin was obviously very happy today, and said with a smile: "Zhongqing, Jinyiwei has already sent news, Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father, and he has killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in Xuanwu Gate, and Li Yuan has also decided to canonize Li Shimin as the crown prince." From today onwards, our enemy has truly become Li Shimin. ”

"Ahh After hearing this, everyone's faces changed, even the eldest grandson Wuji also opened his eyes wide, looking at Li Xin, as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt in his heart.

Li Shimin actually launched a mutiny, killing his brother and forcing his father in Xuanwumen, this is a matter of anger and resentment, and now that Jinyiwei knows, it means that the world will soon know, and Li Shimin's reputation will also stink on the street. Even if you become a prince now and become an emperor in the future, I am afraid that you will become the object of spurning by the people of the world.

"Hey!" He sighed deeply, although when he was in the imperial study, Li Xin and others had inferences, but they were only inferred, and they were stopped by several ministers, Li Xin was also angry, and it was rumored that if it wasn't for the persuasion of the eldest grandson Wujian afterwards, I am afraid that everyone would be scolded.

Now that this kind of thing has really happened, the eldest grandson Wuji still feels a sense of regret. Li Shimin was his childhood friend, and seeing Li Shimin come to this point, he felt uncomfortable as a friend.

"Your Majesty, please go on a northern expedition." A loud roar came, but seeing that the general Li Jing was excited, he stood up from the brocade stool and said loudly. His voice was loud, and there was joy in it. He finally waited for such a good opportunity, Li Shimin made a wrong move, for Li Zhao, it was a fatal mistake, as a qualified commander, how could Li Jing give up such a good opportunity.

"The last general will wait for Your Majesty's Northern Expedition." Wei Chihong, Luo Shixin and others came out one after another to invite loudly.

When did these generals like the most, that is, when they conquered the world and swept Hebei, and now that such a day has finally come, and it is in advance, how can the generals not be excited.

"Your Majesty, please immediately raise the Northern Expedition." The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly came out and said: "Li Shimin's killing of his brother and forcing his father will definitely cause the Hebei army and people to be dissatisfied, and the people's hearts will not be attached, how can they govern the world, the minister heard that in Hebei, Li Jiancheng Lixian corporal, has a lot of care for the people, and has a good relationship with the family, and now he is killed by Li Shimin, there are many sympathizers, and the minister thinks that if my Wang Shi is the Northern Expedition at this moment, Li Jiancheng and the loyal people under Li Yuanji will definitely defect and surrender, and the Northern Expedition of our army will definitely reduce a lot of trouble. Therefore, the minister suggested that the king should be raised immediately, and the Northern Expedition would be a pseudo-Zhao to dominate the world. ”

"Xingwang Division, Northern Expedition Pseudo-Zhao, dominate the world." As soon as the words of the eldest grandson Wuji fell, in the Qianyang Palace, the atmosphere suddenly rose, and the ministers came out one after another, loudly urging Li Xinxing to go on the Northern Expedition and unify the world.

"Does the boss think we should raise troops for the Northern Expedition?" Li Xin was also very happy and said to Pei Shiju, who was sitting at the top.

"How is the grain and grass in the country? Was the Northern Expedition ready? Pei Shiju turned around and asked, Du Ruhui said.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grain and grass in the warehouses such as Changping, Yongfeng, and Luokou are well prepared, enough for half a year's army, and after half a year, within two months, there will be grain and grass in storage all over the country, which is enough to support the grain and grass needs of our army for a year." Du Ruhui also said loudly.

"The military department has also manufactured enough weapons and siege equipment, as long as the Wude Hall transfers, it can be distributed to the soldiers of the whole army." Ma Zhou said.

"The Ministry of Industry is seizing the time to make bows and arrows, crossbow arrows and other objects, as long as His Majesty decrees, all the generals under the Ministry of Industry will start work. It is guaranteed that the Northern Expedition will not be delayed. Wei Yuancheng said.

"The officers and men of all the departments in the army have finished resting, and they are only waiting for His Majesty's holy decree to summon a large army to march, and the security of various places will also be handed over to the government soldiers to manage. Our army can send up to 500,000 troops this time. Wu Yingdian University Shi Ling Jing reported loudly.

"There are a total of 200,000 war horses in Shandan Military Horse Farm and Longyou Horse Farm, which is enough for the army." Liang Shuo, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, also came out and said. At this time, no one dared to hold Li Xin back, the imperial court was about to go on a northern expedition, Li Xin and others didn't know how many years they had waited for this day, and if there was a problem in any link, I was afraid it would cause a waste of time.

"Okay, okay." After Pei Shiju heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction, he straightened his clothes, and arched his hand and said: "The old minister respectfully asks His Majesty to go on a northern expedition to puppet Zhao and dominate the world." ”

"The ministers respectfully ask Your Majesty to go on a northern expedition against the puppet Zhao and dominate the world." Du Ruhui, Li Jing and other ministers said loudly.

"Spread the decree, the Northern Expedition pseudo-Zhao, and dominate the world." Li Xin stood up from the throne, his eyes lit up, his expression was excited, and he said loudly. (To be continued.) )
