Chapter 728 Li Zhi ascended the throne

Wang Ping'an looked at the prime ministers' eyes and grinned, thinking: "What do you want to cultivate me? Do you want to treat me as a good seedling? Forget it, let's leave such a good opportunity to others!"

He nodded and said resolutely: "What you think is, the officials understand very well. You are full of expectations for the officials!"

The prime ministers nodded together. This child is good, very smart, and worth cultivating. It is better to use his strength on him than on others. We old men have successors!

Changsun Wuji nodded and smiled, saying, "Wujian, very good, you are very good!"

Li Zhi turned his head at this time. His mind was not at all in the conversation between the people. He was just worried about what he should do in the future. Although being an emperor is a good thing, how should he act? What should he do if he is not good? He was worried about this matter. Suddenly, he heard Changsun Wuji praising Wang Ping'an and turned around and said, "Wujian, you are very good, Gu always thinks you are very good!"

Wang Ping'an showed a grateful expression and said, "Thank you for your wrong love, thank you Lord Changsun, thank you for your respect. Thank you for your respect, thank you for your respect, so the official must not let you down..."

The prime ministers nodded again, thinking in their hearts: "You can tell yourself that you will lead the troops across the sea and raid Goguryeo, which is better than us, so as not to say that you will force you to go in the future!"

Wang Ping'an said solemnly: "Then let the lower officials elect one person. The outer officials do not avoid revenge, and the inner officials do not avoid relatives. The lower officials have a good friend named Su Dingfang. He has great martial arts and is familiar with military tactics, so it would be better to send him to attack Baekje!"

The prime ministers, like Wang Ping'an just now, also opened their mouths. They played with us like this, and we looked down on you, so they asked you to lead the troops. They didn't ask you to recommend others, but you deliberately misunderstood the meaning... It seems that we have to speak earnestly to you!

Changsun Wuji said, "Wujian, look at who is missing among us, me?"

Wang Ping'an looked at the old men, uh, and said, "It's one missing, he is the prime minister of Dongtai, right? Do you want to go and call him?"

He went out to call Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji called a few old friends in. Everyone was the prime minister, but the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was not just the ones. Among them, Dongtai, that is, the prime minister of Menxia Province, did not follow him in. From this, it can also be seen that the prime minister of Dongtai and Changsun Wuji were not close comrades-in-arms.

When the emperor was in power, the prime minister of the ministry could balance the power of the court, but now that the emperor is gone, Changsun Wuji has the final say, so naturally he has to clean up the prime minister of the ministry who is not very close to him. This is a very normal thing. Don’t say that Changsun Wuji would do this, anyone else would do this!

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "What are you calling him? If I wanted to call him, I would have called him long ago. Why do you want to call him now?"

Ma Zhou said, "At this time, don't hint, do extraordinary things in extraordinary times! Without illness, you are my disciple. As your master, let me say a few words to you!"

Wang Ping'an glanced at Li Zhi, but saw that Li Zhi was expressionless and staring at the brazier in a daze. He had to turn his head and look at Ma Zhou, waiting to listen to Teacher Ma's teachings. He didn't want to listen, so he had to listen!

Ma Zhou said: "That prime minister is confused and misleading. One thing is often done several times before it can be done well. I always don't know what he is doing!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Are bureaucrats, aren't they all like this? You still say that they are not much better than him. You just like to gather together to discuss, but you deliberately isolated the prime minister like that!"

He nodded and said, "My teacher is right, that's true!" Anyway, the prime minister is about to be squeezed out of the court, so there is no need to say anything good to him.

Ma Zhou said again: "So, Lord Changsun plans to replace him..."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "Don't be fine, Brother Ma, don't say that. It's His Highness the Crown Prince who wants to replace him. His Highness the Crown Prince, is the old minister right?"

Li Zhi turned his head in a daze, a little confused, but he didn't say anything against him and said, "Yes, uncle is right!"

Changsun Wuji said to Ma Zhou: "Look, this is what the prince's meaning is, it has nothing to do with us!" He said to Wang Ping'an again: "If there is a vacancy in the disciple, your mentor's meaning... is to recruit you from the inside and not avoid kissing, and plan to recommend you to the disciple!"

Ma Zhou quickly said, "Don't, Mr. Wuji, don't say that. I want to recommend him, but you have to agree! Isn't this? This is not what I mean by myself!"

Chu Suiliang said excitedly. He has always been nice to Wang Ping'an and said angrily: "At this time, don't rush and push each other around. Is it okay? Just say it, no disease. If you take your troops to raid Baekje this time, you will be the prime minister of the disciples when you come back. Are you willing to give me some fun words?"

Wang Ping'an said: "This official, this little nephew, this..." To be honest, who doesn't want to be the prime minister, especially since he is not twenty years old. If he can become the prime minister, it will be a great story forever. With great power, there will be more things to do. It can benefit the people more and even make the prosperous Tang Dynasty appear one day earlier!

But then again, fighting across the sea is nothing in modern times, and it just takes a warship, but in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, there were many difficulties. After all, the Central Empire was dominated by the army and without the navy, it was easy to capsize the ship halfway through the sea. Wang Ping'an believed that the water quality was not good enough. If the ship capsized, he could not rely on swimming and swim back by himself!

Seeing him hesitate, Changsun Wuji said, "If you don't want to, it's nothing. Why don't you go to Youzhou and take the soldiers there to attack Yingzhou and catch Li Ke and behead him. If you can't catch him and let him run away, it's no big deal. We'll chop your head, just don't worry about anything else!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's so soft, just be hard! I don't have to worry about anything else, I don't even have my head left. I want to worry about nothing but worry about it!"

He frowned, with a bitter expression on his face and said, "I really want to attack Baekje, but I'm afraid of heavy responsibilities. If I lose the battle, what should I do? Wouldn't it delay the big thing?"

Chu Suiliang said, "It doesn't matter. Even if you are defeated, you will be able to board the ship and come back. Anyway, as long as our army arrives in Baekje, it will scare the King of Baekje and naturally he will not dare to send troops to attack Silla. Silla is difficult to solve, and then we attack from Yingzhou, and then Goguryeo will withdraw troops from Silla. Goguryeo is a small country, and my Tang Dynasty will slowly plan to destroy this evil country!"

Changsun Wuji also patted Wang Ping'an on the shoulder and said, "Yes, Wujian, what are you afraid of? If you can't beat him, just run away at the worst. Why are you afraid of losing face when you are young?"

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "No sickness, you are not old, you cannot be too vain. You must do things down-to-earth and do good things. This is the duty of a minister!"

As a mentor, Ma Zhou came up with the idea and summarized it. He said: "No disease, this is the trust of the court, the cultivation of you by the prince, and the cultivation of you by us elders. You must not let everyone down!"

Wang Ping'an cried and said, "Thank you, thank the Tang Dynasty, thank the prince, thank you all uncles and uncles... The officials are under great pressure, but for your expectations, the officials have made their promises and must destroy Baekje!"

After saying that, he turned around, pounced on the emperor's spirit, burst into tears, and shouted: "Master, why have you left me?"

Changsun Wuji and others glanced at each other and said, "Cry, let him cry, just cry..."

After the emperor passed away and before the new monarch ascended the throne, the first thing to solve was the matter in Goguryeo. Since a solution was found, the rest of the matter would be much easier to do!

A few days later, on the seventh day of the emperor's death, Li Zhi held a grand dynasty meeting and ascended the throne amid the calls of the ministers. Since the emperor passed away after the New Year and the year has not been completed, the new year name cannot be set for the time being. It will not be set until next year, and the old year name will still be used this year.

Li Zhi climbed to the Heavenly Gate and announced to the world that he was supported by the people and officially became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Since then, he has been pardoned by the world, pardoned prisoners, and has been selected for the examination of the honorary subjects, and has selected talents!

Everything was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites, and no accidents occurred.

Wang Ping'an took advantage of the past few days to write a letter back to Gyeongju to inform his parents, but was afraid that his parents would worry, so he did not say that he would send troops to Baekje. He just said that because the new king ascended the throne and was busy with state affairs, he had to stay in Beijing and help deal with the government.

The general who was recommended by him also entered Chang'an, which was Su Dingfang's unlucky one. He first participated in Li Zhi's throne ceremony, and then was called by Changsun Wuji, and "doed ideological work" for him. He told Su Dingfang that sending him to follow Wang Ping'an to raid Baekje was a test for him, testing whether he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and whether he could be a heavy responsibility...

Su Dingfang kept thanking Lord Changsun for his trust in the Secretariat, but as soon as he went out, he cried when he saw Wang Ping'an!

The two went to the Ministry of War and found a small courtyard without anyone. Su Dingfang held Wang Ping'an's hand and cried, "Prince, I'm not afraid of fighting, but I have to cross the sea by boat. This is too difficult. I don't know which bastard was urging Lord Changsun to choose the last general. Isn't this the last general's life?"

Wang Ping'an sighed, "Oh, you and my brothers said that everything else was false. Although they were unlucky together and were sent to raid Baekje, fortunately, even if we were to die, we would die together, which would be the same as our brothers!"

Su Dingfang wiped away his tears and said, "That's all. But before going to war, you have to be prepared. But the generals don't know where Baekje is. What's their country's name?"
