Chapter 176: The Emperor Appoints the Marshal of the Northern Expedition and Gives the Son of Heaven a Sword! (2/5)

This night is destined to be sleepless.

The next day, in the morning.

The emperor held a great court meeting in the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, and all the ministers above the five grades in Beijing participated.

In the palace, the order is in order, in addition to the ministers, the king of Qin and the king of Qi are impressively listed.

The prince stood on the jade steps with a solemn expression and stood with his hands down.

For! For!

Li Yuanlong walked in a tiger step, climbed the jade steps, and sat on the dragon chair.

"Long live my emperor!"

All the ministers saluted, and the mountains shouted long live.

"Flat."

Li Yuan's expression was slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice,

"I convened a great court meeting today and called you all here, which is a big deal."

"The Turkic general Yu Shot set up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, stationed in the north of the Yellow River, surrounded my Wucheng, and wolfed the Central Plains!"

"Since the seventh year of Wude, the Turks have repeatedly invaded our border, and they have been repelled by the elite of our Tang Army several times when they have penetrated into the hinterland, but even so, Jieli Khan is still a thief and peeps into the Central Plains!"

"After I broke off diplomatic relations with the Turks last year and faced the enemy country, he intensified his aggression even more unscrupulously!"

Bang!

Li Yuan patted the dragon chair and stood up from the throne.

"Turkic children really think I'm a bully? Do you really think I'm humiliating? Is Datang really a place where he can come and leave when he wants? ”

He said slightly angrily,

"It's bearable, it's unbearable!"

"I'm determined to pay the price!"

A heart-wrenching speech showed Li Yuan's dragon might, and the ministers all showed shock in their eyes and bowed their heads to listen to the training.

This news just arrived yesterday, and not many people know about it except for the high-level executives of Datang.

It wasn't until this moment that the ministers reacted-

The emperor's posture is to use swords!

"Proclaim the decree!"

Li Yuan glanced at the main hall, sat back on the dragon chair, and said lightly.

The big eunuch on the side opened the holy decree and said in a loud voice:

"Commando:"

"Turkic thieves, cholera is not stopped. I want to worship a general, sweep away the bandits, and clarify the universe! ”

"King Yuanji of Qi, heroic and courageous, clever and wise, named King Qi as the marshal of the northern march, awarded the golden seal, tiger talisman, jieyue, and the sword of the Son of Heaven!"

"Allow to control the garrisons of the counties north of Chang'an, and control the two armies of Tianjie and Tianji!"

After the holy decree was recited, except for a few important ministers such as the crown prince and the king of Qi, their expressions remained unchanged, and the rest of the people widened their eyes.

The ministers are terrified!

No one would have thought that the emperor would let the king of Qi take command of the expedition and give him so much power!

Even the sword of the Son of Heaven had to be awarded to the King of Qi, even when the King of Qin was the commander of the world's soldiers and horses, he did not have such treatment!

It's so transcendent!

"Take the sword of the Son of Heaven!"

Li Yuan got up again and stretched out his hand.

The attendants on the side quickly delivered the long sword that had been prepared to the emperor's hand.

The sword was well-made and beautifully carved, but it was no different from the usual blade.

can bring the word "Son of Heaven", then it is the most authoritative sword in the world! Holding it in your hand is equivalent to controlling the power of life and death!

For! For!

Li Yuan held the sword of the Son of Heaven, walked down the jade steps step by step, and walked in front of Li Yuanji.

"Marshal of the Northern March, take the sword!"

He shouted.

"Sons obey orders!"

Li Yuanji was extremely excited, but he had rehearsed this scene countless times in his mind last night, so he barely kept calm at the moment, and respectfully took the Son of Heaven Sword with both hands.

The long sword was a little heavy in his hand, but he felt that his whole body was about to float......

It seems that from this moment on, he is already the son of heaven of Datang!

"Give you two days to rectify the appearance of the army, and two days later, swear in Kunming Pool! Practiced by the prince for you! ”

Li Yuan stared at Li Yuanji, his eyes full of expectations,

"Shiro, I have put all the important weapons of the country into your hands, don't let me down, go to the border to fight a beautiful battle and come back!"

"I'm waiting for your triumph!"

When Li Yuanji heard this, his face showed a trace of embarrassment.

"Father, of course the sons and daughters also want to come back from a good fight, but what can I do...... It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! ”

He said earnestly,

"Although Erchen boasts of leading troops, he has no generals available, and if he needs to divide his troops to fight, Erchen can't be dispatched alone."

"I also ask my father to give my son's powerful generals, and my son's ministers will have a better chance of winning!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan frowned slightly.

But then, he nodded again.

"Can you say that...... It means that you have also worn away your arrogant and arrogant temperament and started to think about it from reality. ”

He bowed his head and said,

"Not bad! As the commander of the three armies, you can't do everything yourself, so you naturally have to rely on your subordinates' right-hand men! ”

"It's just that many of the generals of the imperial court are stationed outside, and it is difficult to coordinate with your ......"

"So be it! I will give you another holy decree, after you leave Chang'an, go to the garrisons in various places, and if you meet a suitable general, you can take them away directly, and the garrison generals must not stop you! In this way, when you arrive in Wucheng, there should be a lot of good generals under your command. ”

"How?"

Seeing that Li Yuanji had also become a little cautious, Li Yuan's heart also relaxed a lot.

The most taboo in war is arrogance and arrogance, and it is natural that you can't be wrong to be cautious, and you need a few more generals as subordinates, no problem at all!

However, hearing the favorable conditions offered by his father, Li Yuanji shook his head.

"Father, why bother?"

He laughed,

"There are a group of good generals in Chang'an, and they are all still idle at home! Wouldn't it be a pity not to use them now? ”

Li Yuan was slightly stunned.

"Oh? Chang'an has it? ”

He was amazed,

"What talent have you discovered lately? Let's hear it, if it works, I allow you to be bold and promoted! ”

Li Yuanji smiled:

"Why do you need Erchen to excavate, isn't there a group of generals waiting to be used in King Qin's Tiance Mansion?"

"Erchen can count a bunch of them with his hands, such as Wei Chigong. Cheng Zhijie, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, etc. ”

"It's also thanks to the discovery and promotion of the second brother, these people are all talents who can take charge of themselves when they come to the army. This time, the second brother is going to Luoyang, and these people are idle when they stay in Chang'an, and now it is the time to use people, which can be used by me. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Shimin and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

He wanted to see Li Shimin's ugly face, but Li Shimin's face was calm at the moment, without the slightest wave.

"Uh......"

Li Yuan hesitated slightly.

He didn't expect these people, not because he was stupid, but subconsciously acquiesced that they were still the generals of Tiance Mansion and the command of King Qin.

Now that he was reminded by Li Yuanji, he came back to his senses.

But it's a bit ...... to really take all these people away and make Erlang a single

"Second brother, you won't mind if I appoint your generals, right?"

Li Yuanji suddenly turned his head and joked,

"You can't take it away anyway, why don't you let them continue to play their residual heat on the battlefield?"

When the ministers heard this, their hearts sank.

King Qi, this is a provocation!

According to King Qin's temper, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, right?!
