Chapter 914: Uproar
Wei Zheng and others really want to spit on Yuchi Gong's face. Can your Yuchi Gong's life be comparable to the emperor's life?
Wei Zheng said with a dark face: "Anyway, we will strongly advise Your Majesty, and we must not let Your Majesty take risks in vain!"
Kong Yingda looked at Li Jing and asked, "Donald Wei is really sick and can't fight eastward? If Duke Wei can lead his troops to fight, then His Majesty will not be in charge of the army!"
Li Jing couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he heard this. In fact, he was not seriously ill, but His Majesty obviously didn't want him to lead his troops to fight. He was walking on thin ice, so how could he get involved?
Li Jing said vaguely: "After so many years of war, many wounded soldiers have been left behind. The old disease has recurred. I may not be able to deal with the bitter cold in Liaodong. If the war is misleading, it will be troublesome!"
Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang, Fang Xuanling and others shook their heads and sighed after hearing this.
Without any speculation, Wei Zheng and others didn't even look at Cheng Yaojin and others, and then they shook their sleeves and left with big stances.
Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "What does Old Man Wei mean? We look like a treacherous minister. We are not encouraged by His Majesty to lead the army in person!"
Li Ji looked at Su Cheng with a smile. When they didn't know about the emperor's in-person campaign, Su Cheng already knew about it. Could it be Su Cheng...
Su Cheng said angrily: "Don't look at me like this. I have never instigated Your Majesty. It's just that Your Majesty once revealed by chance that Your Majesty is very firm, and I'm afraid he can't persuade you to come back!"
Li Jing sighed: "There is another turmoil in the court!"
The previous proposal to send troops has caused a lot of controversy. Many court officials have always felt that the court should not conquer Liaodong in the east. Now that the emperor wants to lead the army in person, it would be strange if the court does not make a fuss.
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but touch his head and sighed. He knew the verbal words of the civil servants, so he should not in the end make His Majesty furious and cause trouble again.
Su Cheng had no such concern. Li Shimin had been thinking about the Eastern Expedition for so many years, and must have foresawed this, so he should not be furious about it.
The news spread like a gust of wind across the government offices, and all the court officials who heard the news were shocked.
The emperor wants to lead the army in person?
How can this work?
How could a dignified emperor take risks with his own life?
Of course, no one in the court doubted His Majesty's ability to lead troops. Everyone just felt that for the sake of the Eastern Expedition, there was no need for His Majesty to personally lead the expedition.
When the Eastern Turks were destroyed, the emperor did not commandeer to personally expedition. Now it is just to save Silla, so how can His Majesty be in danger?
Is Silla important, or is the emperor's safety more important?
There is no doubt that of course, His Majesty's safety is more important.
To rescue Silla, if a general can be sent to lead troops to rescue him, he will have to help the emperor personally fight, so it would be better if he didn't save him.
As the emperor's words came out.
The generals in the court heard this but were excited. What Your Majesty said makes sense. You must teach Goguryeo a lesson, wash away the shame, and revitalize the prestige of the Central Plains dynasty.
The memorial was like snowflakes, and they were all piled up on the imperial desk, but Li Shimin had no interest in reading it.
In the early morning of tomorrow, Li Shimin felt both headache and excitement. The headache was that the censors would definitely oppose the imperial army going to war tomorrow.
Excited that tomorrow he will issue an edict and the emperor will personally enlist.
Empress Changsun walked into the hall slowly and smiled, "I haven't seen Your Highness so excited for a long time!"
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "My long-cherished wish has finally come true, how can I not be excited?"
Empress Changsun couldn't help but smile: "Why do I feel that Your Majesty is feeling like he is in the palace and wants to go out and relax?"
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing: "What the queen said makes sense. On the one hand, this is indeed my long-cherished wish for many years. On the other hand, I have been in the palace for many years and I am really bored. I miss the days when I was riding on the battlefield!"
Empress Changsun blinked mischievously after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Why did I hear that Su Cheng said in Liangyi Palace that if His Majesty wants to go to war, he must ensure that he will not wear armor in person or inquire about the enemy in person. Isn't it just not true?"
Li Shimin was speechless after hearing this, and waved his hand and said, "That's the case. This kid is really full of tricks!"
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "I think that Boy Su has a very good idea. Your Majesty is the lord of the nineteenth century and is in charge of the world. Even if the emperor personally commands the army, he will be in the middle command. How can he charge again?"
"There are strong generals in the court who charge forward. If Your Majesty charge forward again, how can they handle themselves?"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "I know that the queen is worried about me, and I also know that I am in the country, so how can I take risks? I have guards and generals around me, so there will be no danger! The queen is relieved!"
In other words, the emperor still wanted to wear armor to fight. Empress Changsun was even more grateful to Su Cheng after hearing this. If Su Cheng hadn't made this suggestion suddenly, it would have been impossible to restrain the emperor.
Empress Changsun shook her head and said, "I can't worry. If Your Majesty does not agree to Su Cheng's conditions, I will not support Your Majesty's command in person!"
In the Sifang Pavilion, Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi were stunned when they heard the news. They were still guessing who would be the candidate to lead the troops to fight. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually wanted to lead the army to fight in person.
They were simply overjoyed.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty swept the world with his army back then. His talent in leading the army was praised, and there was no more chance of winning than the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally led the army to the east!
Moreover, since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was in charge of the army, the ones who led the army must be the most elite soldiers and those who followed the army must be famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Jin Shengman said excitedly: "That's great! This is great! We Silla are saved! We Silla are saved! The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally led the army and will definitely defeat Goguryeo!"
Jin Wenzhi first learned the news, and now he calmed down a lot, pondering: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is of course very likely to win the battle, but the ministers in the court are all opposing it, and I don't know if the emperor can go to the battle in the end!"
When Jin Shengman heard this, his heart sank, and suddenly remembered Su Cheng. When they asked Su Cheng whom he wanted to lead the troops to fight, Su Cheng was vague, and they suspected that Su Cheng wanted to lead the troops to fight.
Now she suddenly reacted and asked, "Did you think Rongguo Gong knew that the emperor was going to command the emperor in person? Otherwise, why would he let us continue running?"
Jin Wenzhi couldn't help but feel moved and nodded, "It's very likely that he must have made up that the emperor's personal command will arouse opposition from the court officials, so we keep running."
"Since Duke Rong had already expected it, he must be confident!" Jin Shengman said happily: "Mr. Jin, do you think it was Duke Rong who advised His Majesty to lead the army in person?"
