The officials of the DPRK and China who were not qualified to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting were very surprised to know the news, because before the Great Dynasty Meeting, the civil officials who participated in the Great Dynasty Meeting were all gearing up, and they looked like they were united to stop the emperor's imperial expedition. The courtiers who participated in the great court meeting couldn't help but blow it vigorously, although they failed to prevent the emperor from driving the expedition in person, but they forced the emperor to make a guarantee, promising not to wear armor to go into battle, and promising not to take his own guards to spy on the enemy. As long as the emperor does not personally put on armor and does not take risks, even if the war is lost, the emperor will not be in danger, so this result does not seem to be unacceptable, besides, it is unacceptable and must be accepted! The emperor's edict has been issued, and after the court meeting, this matter has been decided, to say that the most excited in the court is the generals, the emperor will definitely bring a lot of generals, that is to say, everyone has a much greater chance of going out with the army, and if it is with the army, it is a meritorious contribution in front of the emperor, and the general manager of the accompanying army can make a meritorious contribution? What an incredible opportunity! Of course, the premise is that you must be able to go with the emperor! So, how can you follow the emperor to drive in person? Of course, it is a doorway, even if it is a general in the court, he may not necessarily be able to follow the emperor to drive in person, after all, the emperor will definitely leave a trusted Wenchen military general to sit in charge, but there is one person who is sure that he will definitely go out with the army, that is Li Yong, everyone is not only sure that Li Yong can go out with the army, but also sure that Li Yong can speak in front of the sage, just kidding, how can Li Yong not speak? This crusade was almost Li Yong's decision, the emperor wanted to drive the expedition in person, the government and the opposition were opposed, and Li Yong put forward a suggestion, and then let the sage and the ministers take a step back, who would dare to say that Li Yong could not speak? Today's Li Yong is not only a matter of saints, but has a huge influence in the court, Li Yong left the palace and went straight to Lijiazhuang, since the emperor's edict to drive the expedition has been issued, it will definitely be sent soon, so Li Yong is ready to go back to accompany Princess Changle and them, the entire Chang'an, among all the soldiers who went out, Li Yong and his Shenji battalion are definitely the most calm, because they have been preparing for a long time, so, Li Yong did not go to the Shenji battalion, because today's Shenji battalion can be said to be able to pull out the camp at any time, Li Jiazhuang, One by one the carriages were entering the mansion, Li Yong was very surprised when he saw this, and asked suspiciously.

"Where did this carriage come from?"

"Back to Grandpa, this is sent from the palace!"

The concierge's face was full of excitement, this holy family is really the first in the world! Why did so many carriages come from the palace? What's in it? Li Yong curiously stepped forward and flipped through it, brocade, porcelain, and medicinal herbs...... There is almost everything, these are not ordinary products, they are all tributes, you know, in ancient times, real good things could not be bought with money, and even if they were bought, they did not dare to use them, because real good things were tributes, Li Yong wondered.

"Didn't the palace just send a dozen cars a year ago? Why did you send so many cars again? ”

I am very puzzled and puzzled, it hasn't been long since the New Year, why did I send so many cars of tribute? How? Are there so many tributes in the palace that there is no place to put them? Li Yong returned to the backyard suspiciously and asked suspiciously.

"Why did the palace send so many tributes?"

Li Lizhi pursed her lips and smiled.

"The queen mother said she wanted to thank you!"

Thank? It can't be thanks to him for encouraging the emperor to drive the Eastern Crusade, right? Li Li said seriously.

"The queen mother is grateful for your idea, let the father promise to put on armor and go into battle, and do not take his personal guards to spy on the enemy, so that the father will not be in danger, if it is not for your idea, the father will definitely wear armor and go into battle, then the queen mother and we are so worried!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"The saint is not old in body and heart! The saint has lived in the deep palace for many years, pampered, busy with government affairs, and has worked the case, although he often hunts, but the riding and archery kung fu has fallen, who dares to let the saint wear armor and go into battle? ”

Li Lizhi raised her eyes to look at Li Yong, with a look of concern, and asked softly.

"I know that Lang Jun is good at riding and shooting, and he is brave enough to champion the three armies, but there are no eyes on the battlefield, Lang Jun should also be careful, Lang Jun had better not charge into battle."

The penitent husband is looking for a marquis, and he hasn't sent troops yet! Changle, as the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, told Li Yong not to charge into battle, which shows how worried she is in her heart, Li Yong said with a smile.

"You're thinking too much, I'm afraid it's not my turn to charge."

What are you kidding, this is a royal expedition, not to mention that Cheng Yanjin and other accomplished ministers are still unwilling to be lonely and want to go into battle to kill, and a group of generals are rushing to perform well in front of the saints! And Li Yong is already in the position of the county magistrate, if he is still rushing to charge into battle, wouldn't he be robbing other generals of the opportunity? Even if people don't dare to say anything in person, they have to mutter behind their backs, they are already county princes, and they don't give people a chance, do they still want to be promoted to the national prince? Moreover, it is impossible for the emperor to appoint Li Yong to charge into battle, because Li Yong has never charged into battle, and the Shenji battalion does not need to charge into battle, so this time, Li Yong understands that he can only follow behind to fight cannons, Li Lizhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard it, and said with a smile.

"The queen mother also wants Lang Jun to stay by his father's side more, and after the expedition, she hopes that Lang Jun can persuade her father to move the emperor! Rest assured! ”

Li Yong smiled confidently, not to be at ease with himself, but at ease with the Shenji Battalion, since he can't put on armor and go into battle, what the emperor is curious about must be the combat power of the Shenji Battalion, so the emperor will rely on Li Yong's side even if he is Lai! Cui Mo hurriedly walked over, blessed and said.

"Grandpa, Xue is here, and I'm anxious to see Grandpa!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Look, the one who is rushing to charge is coming!"

Li Li said with a smile.

"Xue Juma is indeed a fierce general in the world, and even his father and emperor are full of praise!"

Li Yong couldn't laugh or cry.

"I don't know how many times this guy has been here these days, but he is here again, I'll go meet him."

Xue Wanche was pacing anxiously in front of the hall, and heard that the sage was going to drive the expedition in person, not to mention that he was in a hurry, even the princess was very anxious, and rushed him to find Li Yong quickly, as the princess said, since the emperor drove the expedition in person, all the generals in the entire Chang'an rushed to go out with the army, if it was late, I was afraid that there would be no chance, seeing Li Yong coming, Xue Wanche hurriedly took two steps forward and said urgently.

"Jungong, I heard that the saint has decided to take the imperial expedition in person?"

Li Yong nodded.

"Yes, today's court meeting, the sage has issued an edict in front of the ministers, and now, Silla is being attacked by Goguryeo, and the sage should send troops soon."

The royal conquest! Xue Wanche rubbed his hands and looked at Li Yong excitedly, his eyes were full of eagerness, if it was two years ago, even if he knew that the emperor would personally drive the expedition, he would not be so eager, because at that time he was self-aware, he was not qualified to compete with others for the opportunity to make contributions with the imperial driver, but now it is different, there is Li Yong, a great nobleman, who appreciates it! In fact, his mind has faded, he only hopes to fight on the battlefield and show his strength in front of the princess, and being looked at by Xue Wanche's eager eyes, Li Yong is still a little hairy, and he has no good air.

"Okay, okay, I know, you want to go on the expedition, don't worry!"

Xue Wanche scratched his head and said.

"This time is different from the past, now that the emperor wants to go on a personal expedition, the generals in the court must all want to go on the expedition, the competition is too fierce."

Li Yong couldn't help but nod when he heard this, although the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, although there will definitely be more generals, but it is indeed more intense, if Li Jing is the general manager of the march, then Cheng Yanjin, Xu Shiji, Li Xiaogong, Wei Chigong, Zhang Gongjin and other generals in the DPRK can just choose one to be the deputy commander, if the emperor drives the expedition in person, then these generals in the DPRK may follow, and Xue Wanche and Cheng Yanjin and others will compete, which competition has been? Not to mention the princes such as Cheng Biting Jin, even if they compete with Niu Jinda and other county princes, they may not be able to compete, Li Yong said with relief.

"The competition is really fierce, I went to find out the tone of the saint, it really can't work, just follow the Shenji Battalion to go on the expedition, my Shenji Battalion still lacks an experienced cavalry commander! It's just that I only have 5,000 cavalry in the Shenji Battalion, but I have wronged you! ”

Li Yong's words are not false, although Su Dingfang is also a famous general, and he also has experience, but after all, he was burdened by Li Jing, and he didn't have much merit, so he was not as brave as Xue Wanche, as for Li Yuntian, the generals of the cavalry battalion even really went to the battlefield! Xue Wanche is different, he is already a battle-hardened general, and his identity is a good choice in all aspects, Xue Wanche said excitedly when he heard it.

"No grievances, no grievances, as long as you can go to the battlefield, you can follow any of the leaders of the guards."

Li Yong couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"If you follow me, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to charge!"

Xue Wanche was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but react, Li Yong's strength is not to charge into battle, how can the emperor be willing to let Li Yong charge into battle? Xue Wanche couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, if Li Yong was in danger, then he didn't have to say that he would definitely follow Li Yong's side to protect Li Yong, but Li Yong was not in any danger, so he followed Li Yong to watch others charge into battle, but it wasn't the same as watching others drink and swallow their saliva on the side? Seeing Xue Wanche, a fierce man with a red face and didn't know what to say, Li Yong clapped his hands and smiled.

"Don't worry! In a while, I will enter the palace to find out the tone of the saint, and no matter how much I let you go out with the cavalry battalion. ”

Xue Wanche hurriedly hugged his fists.

"The county prince, I won't say anything, if there is any dispatch, even if the county prince orders, I won't frown at the sword mountain and the sea of fire."

"I'll go back and report to the princess!"

Xue Wanche went in a hurry, Silla is still being attacked, and the troops must be very fast, besides, Li Er has been preparing since last winter, and he must have a case in his heart, Li Yong probed his brain in front of the Liangyi Palace, and sure enough, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others have dispersed, it seems that whoever stays behind and who goes out with the army has been decided, and the little eunuch entered and said respectfully.

"Qiqi saint, the prince of Rongfu is waiting outside the palace."

Li Er was in a good mood and was about to get up and go to the Lizheng Palace! Hearing Li Yong running, I couldn't help but wonder a little, when we were discussing at that time, Li Yong's figure was gone, and now that the discussion is over, everyone is preparing to go on the expedition, why did Li Yong come again?

"Let him in!"

Li Yong walked into the main hall and saw Li Er reclining at a glance, crossing Erlang's legs, looking very embarrassed, and he almost spit out a smoke ring with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Sage, have the candidates for the generals been decided?"

Li Yong asked.

"It's settled, the three provinces have already issued an edict, what? Someone approached you for an item? ”

Li Er nodded and said, this Eastern Expedition is his personal expedition, which general in the DPRK and China does not want to go on the expedition with the driver? It's normal for all people to talk to Li Yong, but it's quite fast, Li Yong said with a smile.

"It's Princess Danyang's concubine Xue Wanche, this guy is excited when he hears about the war."

Li Er guessed that it was also Xue Wanche, since Li Yong helped Xue Wanche and Danyang to get married, Xue Wanche regarded Li Yong as a great benefactor, however, Li Er was a little embarrassed, it is true that Xue Wanche is indeed a fierce general, but there are really a lot of fierce generals in the court, and this time he wants to relive those eventful years with the old generals, but Xue Wanche is Li Jiancheng's person, so Xue Wanche did not appear in the list of expeditions, and now Li Yong came to help Xue Wanche say something, which made him a little embarrassed, Li Yong's face can't be left ungiven, his long-cherished wish for many years was still promoted by Li Yong, and Li Yong rarely spoke, how could he refute Li Yong's face? However, Xue Wanche is not easy to arrange, because Xue Wanche is also a general in the DPRK, and he is also a colt, seeing Li Er's undisguised entanglement, Li Yong immediately understood that Xue Wanche really did not enter the list of expeditions, Li Yong smiled.

"Sage, the Shenji Battalion also has a cavalry battalion, but the Shenji Battalion does not have an experienced cavalry commander......"

Li Er's heart moved when he heard this, yes! The cavalry battalion in the Shenji battalion is newly prepared, and the generals in it are all newly selected young people, who have no experience in battle formations, Li Yong must have no problem using firearms, but he has no experience in cavalry battles, and if Xue Wanche wants to be Li Yong's deputy, Xue Wanche must have no opinion, and he is also convinced by Li Yong.

Li Er said with a smile.

"Okay, then let Xue Wanche be your lieutenant general and go out with the Shenji Battalion!"

Li Yong arched his hand.

"Thank you, saint!"

When Li Yong entered the palace, the candidates for the expedition with the car had been decided, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, Li Xiaogong, Changsun Wuji and others were all listed, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Xiao Yu were ordered to assist the prince in supervising the country, and the list of those who went on the expedition with the car was announced.
