Chapter 537: The Leader's Discussion
The news of the emperor's decision to send 150,000 troops to conquer Goguryeo spread throughout Chang'an, and there was not much criticism between the government and the opposition, especially after Li Yong's words spread, it made the people of Chang'an City excited. Now that the decision has been made to send troops, who will lead the troops? There is no doubt that Li Jing is the most discussed, after all, Li Jing has made great achievements in war and is famous all over the world, but Li Jing is sorry for his illness, if Li Jing did not suffer from illness, then Li Jing is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to lead the army, since Li Jing has been sick and unable to go out, who will go on the expedition? This issue has aroused heated discussions among the government and the opposition, some people say Li Xiaogong, some people say Cheng Biting Jin, some people say Li Ji, some people say Li Yong...... There are all kinds of people, but Xu Shiji's voice is the highest, if you want to say that after the news of the imperial court's decision to send troops spread, who is the most ecstatic person in Chang'an City, it is none other than Jin Shengman, originally she wanted to continue to run! This treasure is not yet delivered! The news of the imperial court's decision to send troops came out, and the moment he heard the news, Kim Seungman cried with joy, because for Silla, this is a desperate situation! At first, she thought that the treasure that was scattered played a role, and then she realized that it was Li Yong who generously stated in the palace, and then persuaded the emperor to send troops, at this moment, she was full of infinite gratitude to Li Yong, she sent so many treasures, originally she just wanted Li Yong to stand by and be satisfied, but she never thought that Li Yong not only did not accept the treasure, but also tried his best to help, what a broad mind! What a kindness! While grateful, Jin Shengman also felt distressed, those spilled treasures didn't work at all, it was better to give those treasures to Li Yong, at least he could express his gratitude a little, the emperor decided to send troops, Jin Wenzhi was also excited, and couldn't help but ask with concern after being excited.
"Princess, the Tang Dynasty has decided to send troops, doesn't that mean that the bet between the princess and the prince of Rongfu has lost?"
Jin Shengman nodded.
"Isn't that what we expected?"
It was indeed what they were looking forward to, but it was not the same as what they were looking forward to, the expedition caused an uproar in the court, the courtiers who supported the expedition and the courtiers who opposed the expedition quarreled endlessly in the court, no one could convince anyone, and the emperor was hesitant, so they thought that the expedition would be full of twists and turns, but they never thought that Li Yong, who had not spoken before, made a final decision the first time he spoke, and directly made the emperor make up his mind to go to the expedition, what kind of saint is this! This is too simple for Li Yong, so Jin Wenzhi suddenly felt that the bet was a little worthless, Jin Wenzhi asked.
"Does the princess really want to make him a slave?"
If Li Yong really worked hard to facilitate the expedition, then it would be just a matter of giving Li Yong a slave and a maid according to the gambling contract, but it was just a matter of Li Yong's words, and he wanted their princess to be a slave and a maid, isn't it too much of a deception? Therefore, Jin Wenzhi hesitated a little, and Jin Shengman nodded.
"Of course, as a princess of Silla, of course I have to do what I say, how can I break my word? Moreover, this also shows how amazing Li Yong's holy family is, if he annoys Li Yong, what if there is a recurrence? β
Will there be a recurrence? Now it has spread all over the government and the opposition, but I can't afford to gamble! Jin Wenzhi groaned.
"Princess, then we must wait for the army to go on the expedition, and then the princess will fulfill her promise, so as not to have a repetition, so that Li Yong can also prompt the Tang army to go east as soon as possible and solve the crisis of our Silla."
Jin Shengman nodded.
"That's nature!"
Jin Wenzhi said with a look of regret.
"Since Li Yong can persuade the emperor to make up his mind to send troops so easily, why do you want us to run and blind those treasures! And Li Yong didn't confiscate it himself, he will definitely regret it now! β
Jin Shengman groaned.
"Maybe Li Yong himself didn't expect it to be so smooth, if he regrets not having treasures, then let's give him the rest of the treasures as a thank you!"
Hearing this, Jin Wenzhi felt a pain again, but thinking that he could invite Datang to send troops, it would be worth everything, Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi came to Sujiazhuang again, but the mood was very different from last time, the last time she came to Lijiazhuang, Jin Shengman was full of hatred and apprehension, and this time, her heart was full of surprise and gratitude.
"County Prince, thank you for your great kindness!"
Kim Seung-man solemnly blessed himself, Li Yong is Silla's life-saving benefactor! Not just her life-saving benefactor, but the life-saving benefactor of all the people of Silla, such kindness is too great, how can you not be grateful? Li Yong waved his hand.
"It's just a matter of raising your hands!"
Jin Wenzhi said with a smile.
"In the past two days, the princess and the lower officials have been running around anxiously, knowing that the county prince can smoothly persuade the saint to send troops, and the princess doesn't have to be so anxious!"
Jin Shengman took the initiative.
"Yes! We still have some treasures, which should be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the county prince, and please accept it from the county prince! β
For those treasures of Silla, Li Yong really had no interest at all, and waved his hand.
"Congratulatory gifts or anything are free, you better keep it and continue to run!"
Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they heard this.
"Keep running? Didn't the saints decide to send troops? β
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Although the saint has decided to send troops, but he has not decided on the person to lead the troops, there will be some twists and turns! If you want Datang to continue to send troops, it's best to keep running. β
Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard this, now they Silla is being defeated by the Goguryeo army, and they may lose the country at any time, so for them, time is equal to life, and they really don't want to delay for a moment, Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi can't help but introspect in their hearts, they are overjoyed when they hear the news of the Tang Emperor's decision to go on the expedition, they are still too naΓ―ve, only when the army goes out, can they relax! Kim Sheng Manfu is in the body.
"Thank you for the mention!"
When Jin Wenzhi heard this, he couldn't help but ponder in his heart, since Li Yong could persuade the emperor to decide to go on the expedition so smoothly, if Li Yong opened his mouth, wouldn't the candidate for the expedition be quickly determined? Jin Wenzhi said respectfully.
"I don't know who the county prince thinks is the right person to lead the army?"
Li Yong smiled and said nothing, Jin Wenzhi couldn't help but move in his heart when he saw this, Li Yong wouldn't want to recommend himself, right? Jin Wenzhi asked in a low voice.
"Shouldn't the county prince want to lead the troops to the battle?"
Jin Shengman was startled when he heard this, Li Yong led the troops to the battle? There are many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, even if she has heard of it as far away as Silla, but Li Yong, can he fight? Li Yong's talent is known to everyone in the world, and it is food and firearms, and I heard that they are very powerful, otherwise they would not be named the county prince, but I really haven't heard that Li Yong can still lead troops to fight! So how can Li Yong lead his troops to fight? If Li Yong leads the troops to fight Goguryeo and loses, it doesn't matter if the Tang Dynasty is defeated, just take it as a lesson, but they Silla is over, thinking of this, Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi both raised their hearts, don't wait for such a trick, Jin Shengman asked cautiously.
"Does the county prince also want to go on the expedition?"
What does this mean? Li Yong endured it without rolling his eyes, and he didn't have a good airway.
"I don't want to go on the expedition, but I must be indispensable, but you can rest assured, I am not qualified to be a general manager."
Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and Jin Shengman smiled a little embarrassedly.
"The county prince is still young, and after the battlefield experience, he will definitely be able to become a general in his own right!"
"Present to you auspicious words!"
Li Yong said with a smile, in fact, he was not interested in fighting, Jin Wenzhi asked respectfully.
"Then I don't know who the county prince thinks is more suitable to lead the army to the east?"
Only by asking Li Yong who he supports to go on the expedition, they can continue to run, they now deeply feel that only one step with Li Yong can play a better role, Li Yong smiled slightly.
"You'll find out soon!"
Jin Wenzhi and Jin Shengman didn't understand it when they heard it, do they still need to keep it secret? But Jin Wenzhi and Jin Shengman didn't dare to say anything more, and now they really realized Li Yong's holy family and influence in the court, the government and the opposition were arguing, and the emperor hesitated, but he was decided by Li Yong's words, hesitated, and Jin Shengman said in a low voice.
"Jungong, I've already lost that bet."
Li Yong shook his head slightly and smiled.
"What a gamble, it's just a joke, the princess doesn't have to take it seriously!"
Jin Wenzhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, the prince of Rongfu County is really kind-hearted, not only did he not accept the treasure, but he didn't even take the gambling contract seriously, the princess doesn't have to be a slave and a maid for Li Yong, this is really good, after all, it is their princess of Silla! It's too bad to be a slave and a slave to Li Yong, Jin Shengman said in a deep voice.
"Be a man of his word, since I made a bet at that time, then I will do it, and after the army goes out, I will definitely honor the bet."
Li Yong felt that it didn't matter when he heard it, saying that he was a slave and a maid, but how could he really let Jin Shengman do any work? At most, it was just a cup of tea, and when he walked out of Lijiazhuang, Jin Wenzhi pondered.
"Since the prince of Rongfu doesn't plan to let the princess serve as a slave and a maidservant, I don't think the princess needs to be reluctant, just prepare some treasures and thank the princess when the time comes."
Jin Shengman shook his head slightly.
"The county prince is the most famous talent in the world, how can he care about the smell of copper? As you can see, the county prince is not at all interested in treasure, and the county prince cannot repay us for the kindness of Silla, although I am a princess, it is nothing to give him a slave and a maid for a month. β
Now that he has made up his mind, Jin Shengman will not say this anymore, and asked with a slight frown.
"Lord Jin, who do you think the Duke of Rongfu wants to recommend as the leading general?"
Jin Wenzhi pondered.
"It should be Lu Guogong! It turned out that the Duke of Rongfu County would also go on the expedition, it must be the deputy head of the march, and the relationship between Lu Guogong and the Duke of Rongfu County is the closest, and the Duke of Rongfu County of course hopes that Lu Guogong will be the chief of the march! β
Jin Shengman frowned and wondered.
"Then why didn't he say it directly, did he want to avoid suspicion?"
There are many discussions in Chang'an City, but the imperial court has begun to be busy, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry are particularly busy, this expedition can be described as the attention of the government and the opposition, but the general who leads the army has not yet been determined, and the courtiers have also written at the same time, some people recommend Li Jing, thinking that Li Jing's illness is not serious, but leading the troops to go out, and the eastern expedition to Liaodong is very difficult, Li Jing must be, and some people recommend Xu Shiji, thinking that Xu Shiji is the most suitable candidate for leading the troops in addition to Li Jing, Li Jing and Xu Shiji's voice is the highest, and there is Zhang Gongjin for the first time, Hou Junji, Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong...... The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military music is like a snowflake floating to the palace, if it is usual, Cheng Yanjin and others will of course can't wait to recommend themselves, but now they scratch their ears and don't know how to go to the book, if Li Yong didn't tell them that the emperor wanted to drive the expedition, but Li Yong told them that the emperor wanted to drive the expedition, so how could they recommend themselves? Isn't that unpleasant to find yourself? Do you want to write to ask the emperor to drive the expedition in person? However, it will be sprayed by civil officials! Cheng Yanjin is holding a pen in one hand, and constantly pulling his hair with the other, it's too difficult, I really want to find someone to fight hard! In the Ganlu Palace, Li Er flipped through all the concertos, and couldn't help frowning slightly, without Li Yong's concert, this kid is very thief, and there is no Cheng Biting Jin's concert, nor is there any Yu Chigong's concert, nor Li Xiaogong's concert...... According to the temperament of these guys, they should keep writing chapters and self-recommending themselves, why haven't you seen a single chapter? Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, Li Yong told Cheng Yanjin the news that he wanted to drive the expedition, Li Er couldn't help but curse in his heart, since he knew that he wanted to drive the expedition, these guys didn't even know how to go to the book, and they didn't know how to share worries for the emperor at all, in the study of Chen Guogong's mansion, Helan Chushi said respectfully.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if Lord Yuezhang wants to lead the troops to the battle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to plan for Lord Yuezhang!"
The study is a little gloomy, Hou Junji is sitting in the shadows and obscure, although he has recovered the title, but he is still at home, he still feels extremely embarrassed, Helan Chushi looked at Hou Junji very expectantly, as long as Hou Junji is willing to go on the expedition, it will definitely make a great contribution, so as to regain control of the army.
"If Lord Yuezhang leads the troops to the battle, he will be able to return with a great victory, regain his holy grace, and ascend to a high position!"
Helan Chushi said expectantly, and Hou Junji snorted coldly.
"A big win? What about even the war of annihilation? Isn't it a knight and a jailer? β
Helan Chushi couldn't help but murmur in his heart when he heard this, as long as you don't be so greedy for money and lust, as for being punished by the emperor? However, after all, he is a son-in-law, he doesn't dare to say this kind of thing, in fact, Hou Junji is also a little moved, after all, making military exploits is the fastest way to restore glory, but when he thinks of Li Yong, Hou Junji's face can't help but be gloomy again.
"On this expedition, the Shenji Battalion will definitely be dispatched, and Li Yong will definitely go out as the deputy head of the march, so the sage may not let me be the head of the march!"
Hou Junji said in a deep voice.
