Chapter 36: Guo Yuanzhen

The next morning, early in the morning, he came to the court.

Due to Emperor Li Xian's physical discomfort, coupled with the longing for the Queen Mother, excessive sadness, the dragon body was too badly damaged, and he could only recuperate in the harem, and all major matters were handed over to Li Jing to deal with on his behalf.

In order to allow Li Jing to better exercise his power, Li Xian canonized Li Jing as the regent and gave him Jiuxi.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, the civil and military officials had already knelt and sat down, waiting for the arrival of the regent Li Jing.

"The Lord Regent has arrived!"

A sharp duck's throat sounded, and the ministers straightened up, holding the wat board in both hands.

Li Jing, who was wearing a four-clawed golden dragon robe and a ten-crown crown on his head, walked in from outside and sat down on the cushion placed in front of the dragon chair.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Regent, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

The ministers saluted the mountain and shouted! Bow forward slightly!

"All the ministers are exempt!"

Li Jing said.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Regent!"

The ministers got up and sat upright.

"The day before yesterday, this king received several military reports, the Turks, Tubo, and Nanzhao have repeatedly violated our border, captured my Tang Prefecture County, and those who offend my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!"

Li Jing said to the ministers.

Before this, Li Jing sent someone to invite them to attend the funeral of the Queen Mother, and by the way, to peacefully solve the territorial problem, but none of them came to the funeral!

This is not to give Datang face, this is a provocation to Datang, I originally wanted to solve the problem in a peaceful way, but in exchange for estrangement, to be a neighbor to do this part, I have to use force to solve the problem, why bother?

He is not a flood beast, as long as you send back the land you have stolen, and then cut the land to pay compensation, and pay tribute to the Great Tang Nagong every year, everyone is still a good neighbor!

But Nanzhao, Tubo, and Turkic are not, if they have to tear their faces, they can only speak by force, let them know the fate of going against the Tang Dynasty!

I think that he, Li Jing, is such a peace-loving person, why does he have to use force to solve the problem than him.

"Regent, the minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle, clear the obstacles for the Tang Dynasty, and make the barbarians from all directions submit!"

The newly appointed Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang General Lan Yu was the first to stand up and salute.

As a military general, if you want to be promoted quickly, the only way to fight on the battlefield and make contributions is that the battlefield is the stage for their military generals to perform.

Lan Yu is eager to make a contribution, if he wants to get ahead, he must go into battle to kill the enemy, now is a good opportunity, Lan Yu doesn't want to miss this great opportunity!

"The regent, the minister is also willing to expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Duozuo also stood up and made a statement.

Other generals also stood up and competed for the right to lead troops, and they all wanted to make a contribution on the battlefield!

Li Jing stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling them not to quarrel, this time to crusade against Tubo, Turkic, and Nanzhao, Li Jing already had a candidate in mind.

He planned to personally lead the troops to crusade against Tubo, Lan Yu as the chief commander against the Turks, and Han Shizhong as the chief commander to crusade against Nanzhao.

"Han Shizhong, Yue Yun, Wang Gang!"

Li Jing shouted.

"The minister is here!"

Han Shizhong, Yue Yun, and Wang Gang saluted.

"Han Shizhong, this king has appointed you as the general manager of the southern march, Yue Yun and Wang Gang as the deputy commanders, and lead 100,000 troops to defeat Nanzhao!"

"Obey orders!"

Han Shizhong and the three of them received the order.

"Lan Yu, Li Duozuo, Zong Hu!"

"The minister is here!"

"Lan Yu, this king has appointed you as the general manager of the northern march, Li Duozuo and Zong Hu as the deputy commanders, leading 100,000 troops to crusade against the Turks and recover the lost territory!"

"Tubo is personally led by the king to go out to fight, and the black tooth Changzhi, Lou Shide, and Sha Zha Zhongyi will go out with me, and during the time I am not in Chang'an, the affairs of Chang'an will be handed over to Liu Bowen, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Xu Da, the secretary of the Ministry of War!"

"Honorable Order!"

Hei Tooth Changzhi, Lou Shide and others saluted.

Lan Yu has the merit of going north to break the Yuan, so it is most suitable for him to lead the army to defeat the Turks.

Subsequently, Li Jing ordered the household department to allocate grain and grass and make all preparations!

After retreating from the dynasty, they each went back to prepare, and Li Jing asked Heiya Changzhi to go to Heyuan first and gather all the Heyuan army.

……

Early the next morning, Li Jing swore that he would not cripple Tubo and never come back!

Li Jing led an army of 50,000 to leave Chang'an and set off towards Diezhou.

A few days later, Li Jing's army arrived in Diezhou, and Li Jing ordered to rest in Diezhou before continuing to send troops.

Li Jing took advantage of the rest in Diezhou and ordered people to move the sand table, preparing to convene the generals to discuss how to fight with Tubo next.

Before Li Jing ordered people to beat drums and gather generals, the people of Diezhou came to complain, Li Jing was very puzzled, the people were wronged, why didn't they go to the yamen, but came to him?

"Bring people in!"

Li Jing said to his relatives, some people came to the door to shout grievances to him, and he couldn't ignore it, if he didn't care, it would be easy to lose the hearts of the people!

"Whoa!"

The guards bowed and retreated, calling the people outside in.

"The grass people meet the regent!"

Several old men walked in and hurriedly fell to their knees.

"Old man, please get up!"

Li Jing got up and bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to help.

As a model of respecting the old and loving the young, Li Jing stretched out his hand to help, which should also be done, but there were too many people, and he was afraid that he couldn't help him, so he had to help him.

"Thank you, Regent!"

Several people helped each other up, Li Jing returned to the main seat and sat down, and ordered someone to give each of these old men a straw mat, so that they could have a place to work.

Li Jing once again carried forward the traditional virtues of respecting the old and loving the young!

"I don't know how many old people came to me?"

Li Jing asked.

"Xiaomin wants to sue the official!"

"Sue the officer? Why don't you go to Diezhou to assassinate the Shi Yamen, but come to this king instead? ”

"The Assassin Yamen can't be the master!"

"Why?"

Li Jing asked curiously, who is it? Don't even dare to offend the history of the Diezhou Thorn?

"It's Guo Yuanzhen, the assassin of Diezhou!"

An old man said.

"Guo Yuanzhen?"

When Li Jing heard this name, he immediately stood up from the mazar in surprise, and then felt a little out of shape and sat back down.

Taiyuan Guo was born, surnamed Guo Mingzhen and Yuan Zhen, the prime minister and famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and the son of Guo Shanai, the assassin of Jeju.

When he was young, Guo Yuanzhen was still an outlaw, which made the people disgusted with him!

At the age of eighteen, he was admitted to the Jinshi, and in his tenure as an official, he did everything bad except for good things.

Such as minting money privately, plundering people, and so on.

If Wu Zetian hadn't appreciated his talent later and reused his words, he would have been just a corrupt official who was on the wrong side.

Under Wu Zetian's appreciation, Guo Yuanzhen's career was smooth and smooth, and Guo Yuanzhen also made suggestions for Wu Zetian to eradicate the Qinling.

According to the timeline, Guo Yuanzhen should be an official in Tongquan County now, when did he come to Diezhou?

Anyway, since the people have come to him to complain, Li Jing can't ignore it.

"Old man, don't worry, this king will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter!"

After Li Jing finished speaking to the old man, he instructed the guards around him to go to the Assassin's Mansion in Diezhou and bring Guo Yuanzhen to see him.

The guards took the order and left.
