Chapter 294: Preparing to go north
"What are you calling me up for so early?"
Li Jing glanced at Ximenyang angrily, it was not yet dawn this day, and he dared to come to disturb his sweet dream, which made Li Jing very unhappy.
If it weren't for the fact that Ximenyang has always been loyal, he would have asked someone to come down to play the board a long time ago.
"Saint, old slave, there is no way to do this! Yingzhou is in an urgent hurry for 800 miles, and an urgent report from Dongyi Du Hu Xue Ne has to be disturbed! ”
Ximen Yang had a bitter face, facing Li Jing, who was angry to get up, he didn't want to disturb the saint so early, this is not an urgent military report, it needs to be reported to the saint!
"What is the military report, bring it to me quickly."
Li Jing was shocked when he heard this! The whole person instantly woke up and got up from the bed.
"What about this! Sage, this is Xue Ne's urgent report!"
Ximenyang hurriedly handed the emergency military report to Li Jing.
Li Jing took the military newspaper and looked at the untouched sealing mud on it, Li Jing reached out to uncover the sealing mud on it, took out the military newspaper inside and looked through it.
After reading it, Li Jing's face was solemn, but he didn't expect things to go in a bad direction.
"Saint, I don't know what happened"
Ximen Yang saw that Li Jing's face was not very good, and he wondered what was going on in Yingzhou, which would make the saint's face so ugly.
"In the area where the Khitans are located, there is a serious drought, and the Khitans have recently gathered troops and horses, and Xue Ne suspects that the Khitans intend to rebel!"
Li Jing waved his hand lightly and sighed faintly, what he didn't want to happen the most, couldn't it be avoided in the end?
Although he is not afraid of the Khitan rebellion, he also does not want chaos to occur.
Xue Ne should be optimistic about the north, there can be no chaos, if the Khitan has any needs, he can meet them as much as possible.
Could it be that it was too good for the Khitan, which gave the Khitan people a delusion, and eventually led to the Khitan rebellion
"Sage, this Khitan rebellion is not a trivial matter, a decision should be made early, the old slave feels that he should mobilize a large army and appoint a general to quell the rebellion!"
Hearing the intention to rebel, Ximenyang was also shocked!
Hurriedly suggested that Li Jing send troops, and before the Khitan became a climate, he directly sent troops to eliminate them, so as to prevent future troubles!
"What nonsense?"
"It's just a suspicion now, how can you be directly arbitrary and easily draw conclusions!"
"Whether the Khitan wants to rebel or not, we still need to verify it before we can know whether it is true or not."
"Also, such a military event, how can you talk too much?"
Li Jing glared at Ximen Yang, tried his best to do some bad ideas, and if he did something that had not yet been determined, if he did it so desperately, if the Khitan did not have the intention of rebellion, he would also be forced to rebel.
Li Jing felt that things might have a turn for the better, so he decided to go to Yingzhou in person to see if it was as Xue Ne said.
"The old slave deserves to die, and he is in a hurry to speak freely, and he asks the saint to forgive his sins!"
Ximen Yang was so frightened that he fell to his knees, kept kowtowing and confessing, begging for Li Jing's forgiveness.
"Okay, I'll spare you this time, and next time, you don't have to stay by my side to guard the tomb for me."
Li Jing waved his hand and said.
"The old slave has thanked the saint, and he must remember the teachings of the saint!"
After Ximen Yang thanked the Holy Grace, he got up from the ground and stood beside Li Jing, not daring to squeak again.
"You go and prepare, I'm going to go to the north to inspect and see what is going on in the Khitan."
Li Jing instructed Ximenyang to prepare, he wanted to set off north as soon as possible and hand over all the affairs here to the prime ministers.
"What kind of saint do you want to hunt in the north, this matter must not be allowed! Please think about it!"
Ximen Yang was frightened half to death when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and prayed for Li Jing to take back his life.
"Presumptuous, I am going to inspect the world and observe the sufferings of the people, what is there not to do"
Li Jing glanced at him, he also wanted to see what was going on with the Khitan, and whether Xue Ne had managed the Khitan and Xi tribes according to his original arrangement.
If it was because of Xue Ne's inaction that the Khitan rebelled, then cut Xue Ne and give the Khitan an an explanation.
If the Khitan has any objections, then mobilize a large army to completely destroy the Khitan and make the Khitan disappear forever.
"Sage, the ambition of the Khitan wolf is already clear, and he intends to rebel, the north is not safe, if the Khitan comes to attack, the old slave is worried that he will hurt the dragon body of the saint."
Ximen Yang swallowed his saliva with difficulty, after all, now it is suspected that the Khitan is suspected of rebellion, and if the Khitan really rebels, the north will definitely be chaotic.
The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, not to mention the body of the Son of Heaven, if this is bumped, this is a big event for the Tang Dynasty.
Even for the safety of the saint, the saint must not be allowed to go to such a dangerous place as the north.
"I, it's not paper-mâché, don't worry so much, I have to go!"
Li Jing waved his hand, not caring about the Dao, with his skills, even if the Khitan really rebelled, he could retreat with his whole body, and in the era of cold weapons, no one could really hurt him.
There is no need to worry so much about the sky, besides, if he is not going alone, this time he will go north, he will take 30,000 new troops equipped with new weapons.
"Sage, this matter is not a joke, even if the old slave doesn't say anything, can the minister of the court and the central government agree?"
Ximen Yang was full of excitement, crying with a sad face, and had to move out of the ministers of the DPRK and China, hoping that Li Jing could dispel the idea of going north.
"Look at your little bit of interest, I'm going to the north to patrol, not to fight, what danger can I have?"
Li Jing said angrily.
Ximen Yang bowed his head and was silent, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he had to follow Li Jing's instructions and announce that Li Jing was going to Beijia.
Suddenly, it caused a shock to the government and the opposition!
They also knew about the situation in the north, and it was said that the Khitans had begun to assemble a large army and intended to rebel against the imperial court.
The Son of Heaven is going at this time, it is really not the time, if the saint has to go, he must wait for the matter to be resolved.
So, the ministers came to persuade Li Jing one after another, changed his mind, gave up the northern hunt for the time being, and waited for the Khitan side to make things clear and there was no danger, and it was not too late to go north!
As soon as the morning dawned, the prime ministers and the six Shangshu, as well as the principals of the five eunuchs of the Nine Temples, all came to the outside of the Zichen Hall in person and asked to meet the Tang Emperor!
"Sage, all the ministers, the six Shangshu, and the five supervisors of the nine temples are asking to see you outside the hall!" 33
The chamberlain reported to Li Jing.
The minister asked to meet him, and Li Jing was not surprised at all, which was not expected by him!
They must have known about the Khitan matter, so many people came to see him, just to stop him, not to let him go north.
But if he didn't go north, how could he resolve the contradiction with the Khitan, and how could he know what the specific situation was?
This time he went north, he was imperative, it was useless for anyone to come, and no one could stop him from going north to solve the problem.
Some people died, but not completely......
