Chapter 1090 Introduction
Take a step back and say that even if Li Shimin really wants him to stay and be the Great Protector of Anton, wouldn’t he consider Changle?
Although Changle is gentle and virtuous, if the emperor knew about it, he would leave him in Liaodong as the gubernatorial captain of Andong, would Changle have to take Wu Xi and the others into the palace?
Su Cheng asked: "Does Your Majesty want me to stay in Andong as a magistrate?"
Li Shimin asked in surprise: "You are the Great Protector of Anton? Why are you doing as the Great Protector of Anton? The battle has been completed, but it is just a guard. What's the use of you?"
Even Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and Li Shimin didn't think about it, so how could Su Cheng stay and be the Great Protector of Anton?
In his opinion, it is really a waste of talent.
Moreover, because Changle and Su Cheng have not gotten pregnant for so long, the queen is already very anxious. How could he let Su Cheng stay?
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty summoned me specifically. I thought your Majesty wanted me to be the Great Protector of Anton!"
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "You are a bit of a waste of energy when you stay in Liaodong. Liaodong has been pacified, and I have arranged everything. There will be no major changes. Next, my main focus will be on the Western Regions. Liaodong is bitter and cold. I want to find a young and powerful general to guard Andong."
Young and powerful, and several candidates quickly flashed through Su Cheng's mind. The number one person he was the best was Su Dingfang.
In terms of qualifications and ability, Su Dingfang should be the most suitable candidate.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of Su Dingfang? With General Su's ability, it is definitely more than enough to stay in Liaodong." Su Cheng asked with a smile.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Su Dingfang is my favorite vanguard general. The Western Regions are not peaceful. That is where he shows his strength. It's a pity to keep him in Anton!"
Su Cheng couldn't help but realize that the emperor was still guarding against the Western Regions, and Su Dingfang was obviously going to be reused.
Apart from Su Dingfang, who else is suitable?
There was Xue Wanche, and then Su Cheng couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Xue Wanche had no problem with his abilities and qualifications, but after all, he was once the direct descendant of Li Jiancheng, so the emperor might not let him take charge.
"What does Your Majesty think of Xue Rengui?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Xue Rengui? I have also considered him. As the deputy general of the Shenji Camp, he also made great contributions to the great achievements made by the Shenji Camp this time. But he is too young!" Li Shimin pondered.
Xue Rengui is indeed too young and has little qualifications. If it weren't for the great contributions made by the Shenji Camp in the Eastern Expedition this time, the emperor might not have considered Xue Rengui at all.
In the eyes of the emperor, Xue Rengui is considered a craftable material, but it is still unknown whether he can stand alone in the future.
However, Su Cheng knew that Xue Rengui would definitely stand alone as long as he had experienced it, and guarding Liaodong was a rare opportunity for Xue Rengui to experience.
Although Liaodong was pacified, Liaodong would not be peaceful. Some Goguryeo people were definitely unwilling to be ruled by the Tang Dynasty, so there will inevitably be mutinies in Liaodong.
However, it cannot cause much trouble. After all, surrendered generals and ministers like Gao Yanshou, as vested interests, will definitely choose to stand firmly on the side of the Tang Dynasty.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "I am very young, and Your Majesty also thinks that I am a waste of talent when I am in charge of Liaodong!"
"But there is only one Su Cheng in the world!" Li Shimin shook his head and said.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Xue Rengui is a little younger, but he is indeed very capable and has great potential. He can definitely stand alone if he has been in charge of Liaodong for a few years."
In fact, the reason why Li Shimin called Su Cheng here was because he was considering Xue Rengui, so he wanted to listen to Su Cheng's suggestions.
"You think Xue Rengui can do it, then I'll be relieved. This time he made considerable contributions to the eastern expedition with the army. I will grant him the title of the county marquis and the commander of Andong." Li Shimin pondered.
"Your Majesty is wise, I think Xue Rengui will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" Su Cheng said respectfully.
Su Cheng, who walked out of the palace, was very happy. Although he discovered Xue Rengui, he felt that it had delayed Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui was a powerful general, and staying in the Shenji Camp could not show his strengths. This would instead bury Xue Rengui.
It is definitely an excellent opportunity to guard Liaodong. Although there are no major wars here, there are many minor wars. After a few years of experience, Xue Rengui will truly gain a foothold in the court even if he is separated from his wings.

"Where is Xue Rengui?" Su Cheng, who returned to the temporary residence, immediately asked Xue Rengui.
"General Xue is competing with Prince Xue to shoot the spear, it's too intense!" The left-behind guard said quickly.
"Go and call him!" Su Cheng smiled.
A carriage entered the mansion surrounded by guards, and the guards ignored it.
Jin Shengman got off the carriage and saw Su Cheng standing in the front hall. He was moved and surprised. Are you waiting for her?
Jin Shengman, who was excited and surprised in his heart, came forward with a slight response, and suddenly a loud footsteps sounded behind him.
"Master, are you looking for me?" Xue Rengui ran in quickly.
Jin Shengman looked back and realized that Su Cheng was waiting for Xue Rengui.
"Greetings to the princess!" Xue Rengui quickly said.
Jin Shengman nodded and greeted: "It turned out to be General Xue!"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Come on, I'll introduce it to you solemnly!"
Jin Shengman and Xue Rengui were both stunned. Introduction?
Need an introduction?
During the eastern expedition, Jin Shengman ran to Shenji Camp every day, and became familiar with most of the generals of Shenji Camp, and was more familiar with the main generals of Xue Rengui, Xue Wanche, and Li Yun.
"Ren is Princess Silla, the future Queen of Silla!" Su Cheng pointed at Jin Shengman and smiled.
Xue Rengui and Jin Shengman were both stunned, not knowing what to do, they all had a question in their minds, what was wrong with the Duke of the People today?
"This is the Great Protector of Anton, Xue Rengui!" Su Cheng pointed at Xue Rengui and smiled.
Xue Rengui and Jin Shengman were both stunned. Anton protected Xue Rengui?
"Mr. Master? I? Protector of Anton?" Xue Rengui looked incredible.
After capturing Goguryeo, His Majesty wanted to set up the Anton Protectorate Mansion, the soldiers knew that the generals had been guessing who would be the Protectorate.
The one who talked about the most was Su Dingfang. Of course, some people thought it would be a veteran like Zhang Liang and Niu Jinda. Xue Rengui also discussed it, but never thought it would be him as the archer.
Because he is too young and has little qualifications, how could he be a magistrate?
Su Cheng smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, you have made great contributions to the Eastern Expedition. You will be the Marquis of the County and take over the Great Protector of Andong. Don't forget to enter the palace to thank you tomorrow."
After hearing this, Xue Rengui still didn’t understand. This was because of the Duke’s recommendation!
Excited and surprised, Xue Rengui was a little frightened and hurriedly said, "Duke, I am young and have little experience. How can I be a magistrate? I am afraid that Your Majesty will be dissatisfied with the Duke."
