Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

At the Great Court Meeting, Li Er ordered Hou Junji to come out. As Minister of the Ministry of War, he was Li Ji's immediate boss in name, so he had to stand up and explain at this time.

Naturally, Hou Junji had already been informed by Li Er, otherwise he would not have been able to pass the matter of gathering [-] elite soldiers in Hebei Province.

So he stood up and explained: "A month ago, the Beisha City under the Tang Dynasty was looted by the Goguryeo army. Our defenders died and injured a lot, and in the end even the city was burned by the thieves.

The border guards sent people to go to Goguryeo to ask for an explanation, but the other side was staring at Liaodong City with Chen Bing. The situation was urgent, so we sent General Li Ji to garrison the border to prevent Goguryeo from invading. "

A royal envoy asked: "Hou Shangshu, why do we not know about such an important matter? The mobilization of [-] troops, the destruction of a city in the Tang Dynasty, which one is not a major event? Why do you want to keep it a secret?"

Hou Junji murmured: "It's not because we deliberately concealed it, but in fact we didn't want to cause panic among the people in the country. After all, it has just settled down for a few years, and Datang is recuperating and doesn't want to go to war anymore. After the meeting of the Ministry of War, we decided to send It is enough to garrison with heavy troops. As for enmity, I will settle accounts with him when Datang cultivates in the future.

This matter has been reported to His Majesty for approval, and it involves the stability of the country. In order to ensure that the military operations will not be leaked, it was changed to covert precautions. "

This explanation almost dispelled most of everyone's doubts. As long as you don't fight, you can do whatever you want. After all, this is within the purview of the Ministry of War.

At this time, someone felt that Hou Junji was changing the concept secretly, and stood up and said: "Hou Shangshu only said about General Li's transfer of [-] troops, but he did not explain who gave General Li the right to declare war on other countries without authorization. .

Once the war broke out, there would be countless casualties, labor and wealth, and the court would not even know about it, so Li Ji dared to declare war without authorization?If the Ministry of War does not know about this matter, then I implore Your Majesty to punish Li Ji according to the law. "

This one

Hou Junji was at a loss for words, and looked up at the emperor above him.

Li Er couldn't always let his subordinates carry it alone, so he coughed lightly and explained: "This matter was ordered by me in private, so you don't have to be suspicious."

"What? His Majesty's order?

So, His Majesty is determined to send troops to attack Goguryeo? "The ministers were shocked and discussed one after another.

Then many people stood up to dissuade them: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, the former Sui Xingbing had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and all three conquests were defeated on the spot, leaving countless soldiers' lives. The Tang Dynasty must not repeat the same mistakes."

Seeing the crowd's enthusiastic opposition to the war, Li Er thought to himself that he was right. Now is not the time to attack Goguryeo. So many people are against it. If this matter is put on the bright side, it will definitely fail.

After everyone was in chaos for a while, Li Er laughed and said: "My dear friends, you have misunderstood, how can I not know the pros and cons of the teacher who never forgets the future?

And if the army is mobilized, how can Goguryeo's [-] army be wiped out?I haven't lost my mind yet. "

"Then what does your Majesty mean by this? Is there any unspeakable secret that needs to be kept hidden from the court?"

Li Er knew that there was such a question, and he was ready to speak.

"At the time when Beisha City was attacked, I was furious, and both Junji and Maogong urged me to send troops to take revenge.

But how long has Datang been stable?The common people just had a bit of spare money, how can they use up the country's power again by mobilizing troops?

But it’s okay to be indifferent. Although Beisha City has just been assigned to our Datang, it is after all a city registered in our Datang. If it is burned like this, what is the dignity of the Datang?Aren't the soldiers guarding the border chilling?

So I sent Maogong [-] troops to coerce the border. One move was to declare no war and deter the thieves. First, I came to ask them for an explanation, and second, to prevent their arrogance and arrogance from invading the border again. When our Tang Dynasty prospers in the future Now, let's compare with the enemy together.

That's the whole plan!Everything is to cooperate with the secrets of Mao Gong's march. "

After listening to the emperor's explanation, everyone gradually became quiet. So, His Majesty's arrangement is well-founded, and it is really inappropriate to reveal all the secrets.

I thought it was over like this, but at this moment, there were faint firecrackers and cheers from the people in Chang'an City, and a long chants came from the gate of the palace.

"Great victory! Great victory in Fuyu Castle! Goguryeo's [-] troops invaded and were wiped out by our army!"

What? ? ?

Victory in Fuyu City?

All the military officials turned their heads to look outside the palace gate.

Hou Junji laughed and said: "Your Majesty is indeed wise. This must be due to Mao Gong's [-] troops. Otherwise, this Goguryeo is so wicked that he almost attacked our Fuyu City again."

Hmm, what Hou Shangshu said is correct, Goguryeo should be unwilling to cede Fuyu City and Beisha City to Datang, and wanted to send troops to harass and take them back.

Many people echoed the analysis, and even Hou Junji himself almost believed this statement.

Li Er laughed loudly and stood up from the dragon chair to meet him. A messenger on a fast horse rushed straight to the square of Tai Chi Hall, only to be stopped by the forbidden army.

The man got off the horse and didn't care about his embarrassment. He turned back and untied the letterbox behind him, and walked forward with both hands in respect.

"Your Majesty, Fuyu City was invaded by [-] troops from Goguryeo before. Fortunately, the generals in the city planned a strategy and not only retreated the enemy soldiers, but also joined forces with the surrounding tribes to wipe out the enemy troops in one fell swoop. Fuyu City was unscathed. Tang Shoujun was unscathed!

The subordinates are ordered by General Su Lie to report the victory! "

"Hahaha, well, well played!

Come on, big reward! "Li Er laughed and offered a reward.

All the officials also congratulated. Many generals vaguely guessed that the matter was not simple, and they were also worried about the experienced son in Fuyu City. When Du Shaoqing came to the door to fool his son, he said that he had great achievements in destroying the country, and he would not do it so soon. Bar?

Yuchi Jingde stepped forward and grabbed the messenger and asked, "What's the situation in Fuyu City now? Did that boy Su Lie ask you to send a message to me?"

Back then Su Lie was Yu Chigong's general, so the relationship between the two was different.

The messenger was a little dazed, he was a messenger, what is the general doing?

But he didn't hide it. After all, the great victory on the front line inspired people's hearts, so he said respectfully: "General Su and the First Prince are currently guarding Fuyu City and are in charge of logistics. Lu Dajun has entered the territory of Goguryeo, and his momentum is in full swing. It is estimated that he has won several cities by now.

General Su will definitely continue to send out the details later. "

Here

Li Er and Hou Junji groaned inwardly, wondering who is Su Lie looking for?Why did you find a big tongue to report back?You can make a mess outside safely, but what are you preaching when you come back?Do you think these ministers are easy to fool?

What? ? ?

Yu Chigong exclaimed, threw the messenger out of his hand, turned around and saw Li Er bowing down, crying and saying: "Your Majesty, why did you not inform the last general about the battle to destroy Goguryeo?

Is it because His Majesty can't trust the last general?The last general can do without military merit or fame, but in the great war of the country, even if I can be a pawn.

Besides, how could that kid Su Lie be the commander in chief?His subordinates are a group of youngsters who have never seen blood. How can such a big war be done?just in case"

This black general is also a person who hides his secrets. He usually doesn't like to talk much. Why did he encounter this incident today? .

The generals don't understand, the general who destroys the country doesn't need us?Has everyone fallen out of favor?

The officials came to their senses and knew that His Majesty had done something to steal the horse. On the surface, Li Ji went to frighten the enemy, but in fact, another ambush had entered from Fuyu City. This is not a war to destroy the country. What is this?

It was also another chaos in the Taiji Hall, Li Er felt a headache, covered his forehead and waved back, and asked Hou Junji Plenipotentiary to explain himself.

Hundreds of officials refused to obey, but no one could stop the emperor, and in the end he could only surround the Hou Jun Group.

Hou Junji also felt overwhelmed, besides, he didn't plan this plan, he just knew the general idea, it was all played by Du Shaoqing

The palace was in a mess, but the real person, Du Shaoqing, was leisurely drinking tea with his daughter-in-law Wu Zhao at the headquarters of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce.
