After the Fengshan period of Mount Tai, the emperor moved to Qizhou.

Two famous officials, one literary and one martial, appeared in Licheng, Qizhou. Fang Xuanling and Qin Shubao were both from Licheng. The emperor went to the Qin family first. At the beginning of Zhenguan, the old house of the Qin family suddenly collapsed, and then a spring water gushed out, and soon a deep pool was formed.

The local people call it Heilongtan.

Qin Lang later simply took out money to change the old house into a garden. After spending 100,000 yuan, the old house was completely renewed.

The emperor's carriage entered Licheng, and Fang Xuanling asked the priest to go to the Fang family, but the emperor finally chose to go to the Qin family in Heilongtan.

Firstly, it was newly built by the Qin family in Heilongtan in recent years. It cost a lot at the beginning. The garden was indeed beautiful and the place was large. Secondly, I miss the old friend Qin Qiong. Of course, it is difficult for outsiders to guess whether there is a deeper reason here.

In short, the emperor did not go to the Fangxionggong's house, but went to the Qin family.

Fortunately, Qin Qiong's legitimate son, Duke of Qi, General of the Left Guard, was appointed as the governor of Songzhou, and Qin Xun, the Shangzhu Kingdom, followed him, so he led his brothers to call the Qin clans in Licheng to take over the leadership.

The Duke of Qi is eighteen years old this year. Last year, he officially married the daughter of Duke Zhao Changsun Wuji. Although this marriage has not been satisfied with Cui, he always wanted to find an opportunity to regret the marriage, but Qin Qiong left a lasting fate before his death, so that Cui did not regret the marriage.

Qin Lang also supported this marriage, so Cui finally failed to regret the marriage. Qin Xun officially married Changsun Wuji's daughter last year, but Cui could not let go of the five surnames of women. In the end, he asked his brother Cui Dunli to marry a daughter to serve as a concubine for his son, which was considered a marriage kinship.

Although Qin Xun was the former King of Qi and the legitimate son of Qin Qiong, he is now the son-in-law of Changsun Wuji. He was born in a general, but he abandoned martial arts and learned literature. Last year, he participated in the imperial examination and received the invitation of Changsun Wuji and others. With the help of Ma Zhou, the examiner, he was only able to become a second-class Jinshi. In the end, he was barely able to become a second-class Jinshi.

After studying literature for many years, his talent and knowledge are average.

In terms of treating people and things, he looks even more immature. Fortunately, the daughter of the famous Cui family, who has been in the Qi family for many years, is also capable and experienced.

After receiving the task of taking over the driver, you don’t feel sorry for the money. You speak generously and prepare 100,000 ounces of money for taking over the driver. All aspects must be thorough.

While arranging Qin Li and Qin Gui and his brothers to help run away, they also found their brother Cui Dunli to let the Cui family send someone to help, and they also arranged the Holy Divine.

After the Sheng Jie moved in, Cui took special care of Princess Changle, as if she was considerate as a future mother-in-law. This moved Changle very much and was very close to her.

The emperor moved into the Duke of Qi's mansion, went to the Qin family's ancestral temple to worship, summoned the children of the Qin clan and others, and took the exam of Qin Li and others' riding and shooting skills, and was very satisfied in the end.

The Qin Li brothers were all given one level each, and many Qin family members also received a reward.

Of course, the emperor's Fengshan Mountain is not just a superficial sacrifice.

As Fang Xuanling told his sons and nephews in the old house of Fang clan in Licheng, the emperors of the previous generation had different requests, either praying for years or thinking about gods and immortals.

This statement is also very reasonable. In addition to the Fengshan period due to political factors, the most eye-catching thing is that both of them believe in the immortal medicine of immortality and seek immortality. Therefore, these two emperors were particularly mysterious when they went to Mount Tai to Fengshan. The jade letters they used for Fengshan were secretly disclosed.

In order to maintain the inheritance of the throne, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty opposed the king who was not Liu's family. However, within the last two years, his attitude towards Fengshan changed fundamentally, so his Fengshan could not help but speculate that he prayed for health and longevity.

Fang Xuanling has been with him for many years and is one of the few people who know the health of the emperor's dragon body. He knows that the emperor lost his fertility due to qi disease a few years ago. This is an extremely secret matter and a hidden disease that has always troubled the emperor.

The emperor was only in forty years old, and this disease caused by qi disease has caused it to anger and annoyance. In recent years, the emperor has sought medical treatment for it, but after a few years, the medicine stone was not in a doctor, and the emperor was already discouraged. Now he has begun to turn to seek immortals and ask for Taoism, trying to find a cure from the secret techniques of the Fang family and Taoist elixirs to regain his strength.

Of course, the emperor's jade certificate was publicly declared. He publicly announced the world, thanked him for success, and the descendants were blessed by the people.

Xie Cheng is his self-evaluation and affirmation of his career achievements, full of confidence and deep pride. And the fortune of his descendants is a common human relationship, and the emperor cannot avoid it.

It is rare to be commendable for the people to receive blessings. The emperor not only thought about his family and the world, but also raised the welfare of the people and the people in the world to a very high level.

Of course, these are just public.

Just as the emperor secretly prayed to heaven in private that he could regain his might, the emperor still had to take the opportunity to go east to the Mount Tai this time and then raid Goguryeo.

The eastern tour of Fengshan Mountain is originally a strategic cover.

Taking advantage of Fengshan, we mobilized troops and transported money and grain.

To fight Goguryeo, this is one of the plans that Li Shimin had already booked before he ascended the throne. However, the time has not been ripe, so he has been waiting.

When the Sui Dynasty conquered Liaodong, although Li Shimin was still young, his father Li Yuan was responsible for the conquering Liao army as the Minister of the Weiwei Temple, so he also went to Liaodong and saw with his own eyes how cruel and tragic the war that dragged down the Central Plains Sui Dynasty was.

The father and son each had their own experience of the battle against Liao. After Li Yuan became emperor, he completely gave up Liaodong and even wanted to let Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty get along equally, and no longer asked his ministers to pay tribute. However, when Li Shimin was young, he decided to lead his army to restore the hatred of Chinese children in the future.

Since becoming emperor, Li Shimin has been preparing for this day.

It has been prepared for fifteen years.

The Qin family in Heilongtan.

hall.

"Queen Silla, Jinderman, cried to me, saying that Baekje United's U-raid attack on Silla and captured more than 40 cities. King Gaya also appealed to me that he was invaded by Baekje and the Japanese army."

"The two countries also said that Baekje and Japan united Goguryeo, and planned to cut off Silla and Gaya's two countries into the country, and they all asked our Tang Dynasty to send troops to rescue and uphold justice."

"I personally summoned Goguryeo Prince Gao Renwu and Baekje Prince Fuyu Yici, but they falsely accused him of Silla. The two countries of Gaya were provoked first and refused to return the occupied city and land and population. Only the Queen of the Imperial God of Japan had a good attitude and said that after returning to China, they would recall their troops and return to Japan."

The emperor was very angry. With the status of the Supreme Nine Five and the position of the supreme leader of Tian Khan, he personally mediated the disputes between the vassal states and mediated the war for them. But Baekje and Goguryeo dared to resist the order and refused to obey it.

In particular, Goguryeo not only did not obey the order, but even secretly colluded with Xueyantuo, the Mobei region, and wooed Baekje and Japan, forming an alliance everywhere, and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.

The Secretary of the Central Committee, Changsun Wuji, immediately said, "Goguryeo, Baekje, and Xue Yantuo have been going further and further on the road of rebelling against the Tang Dynasty. They are unwilling to turn back and deal with them. Only the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty can make them realize their mistakes and repent."

Shangshu Zuo Pushe Fang Xuanling also said, "The court has been preparing for the conquest since last year. Now all the money, grain and equipment are ready, and the troops have also recruited 100,000 troops and can launch an attack at any time."

Wei Zheng, who was specially informed of the troublemakers, stroked his beard and spoke, "Goguryeo, Baekje and others invaded Silla, so Gaya was wrong first, but my sect leader of the Tang Dynasty, even if he was asked for a crime, he should attack him in a dignified manner. How could he attack him in a sneak attack?"

"The court should first send diplomatic envoys to Goguryeo and Baekje to promulgate the imperial edict. If they still resist the imperial edict and fail to comply, they will send formal troops to attack instead of sneaking raids. This will lose our identity as a great power!"

Li Daliang, the Minister of the Shangshu Right Pushe and the Minister of Personnel, opposed, "Wei Prime Minister, the court had sent envoys to investigate and mediate last year. This time, all the envoys from all countries in Fengshan arrived, and the saints also personally summoned Goguryeo and Baekje princes, but you have also seen their attitude, so now my Tang Dynasty sent troops to conquer, what's wrong with it?"

"As for the raid, it is just a military tactic. Since you want to fight, you will follow the tactics of military tactics, how convenient it is to fight, how it is cost-effective, do you have to notify Goguryeo in advance, and then the two sides agreed on the location and set up a team to fight?"

Speaking of this, Li Daliang reminded Wei Zheng that Goguryeo was very strong. When the Sui Dynasty was in full swing, he did not gain any advantage. Therefore, if you want to deal with Goguryeo, you must not underestimate the enemy. For victory, let alone surprise attacks, it is worth sending assassins to assassinate the King of Goguryeo.

The emperor, who was sitting in the head, raised his eyebrows, undoubtedly recognized Li Daliang's words.

Although diplomacy must be done, the final result cannot be expressed through words, but it still depends on beating.

Wei Zheng reserved his opinion, believing that military is important, but first of all, we must conquer people with virtue. As the common ruler of the world, the Tang Dynasty must be recognized by all countries.

Fang Xuanling asked the emperor, "Your Majesty originally planned to be in charge of the Eastern Expedition by Duke Wei, but now Duke Wei is still in the south of the world. The war is imminent, and the commander of the three armies must not be vacant. Please ask the saint to make a decision early."

Li Shimin nodded helplessly.

Looking at the current dynasty, most of the founding generals of the Tang Dynasty are still alive, and there are many people in their battle year. Any one of them can be the leader of the army to command the eastern expedition. But in the emperor's mind, the most suitable candidate is of course Qin Lang.

Qin Lang was in his early thirties, but his military achievements began in the ninth year of Wude. In the past fifteen years, no one has been able to match his military achievements.

A great commander like Li Jing's achievements were mainly at the beginning of the founding of the country, pacifying the southeast, and in the late Wude period, guarding the Heshuo border, and then retreating to retire after the defeat of the Eastern Turks in Zhenguan.

Many generals such as Li Ji have been safe for more than ten years.

The generals who were more active in the Zhenguan Dynasty and had more military achievements were the first to be Qin Lang, followed by Chai Shao, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Wanche, Niu Jinda, and Su Dingfang.

All the ministers in the hall looked at the emperor.

Qin Lang was indeed the first candidate to be in charge of the Eastern Expedition, but no one expected that this Duke Wei, after Songzhou defeated Tubo, resigned Ding You, and then refused to return to the court.

I've been idle for several years.

"Sage, can Qin Xiang come back?" Changsun Wuji also asked.

"I have sent Xu Luoren to Wu'anzhou to pick up people." The emperor picked up the purple clay teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and said in a plain voice.

However, the ministers were a little angry when they heard this.

It seems that the emperor cannot calm down, and he is really annoyed.

Fang Xuanling was still asking, "I'm afraid General Xu may not be able to take it back. The war is imminent. Is it impossible for the head coach to stay vacant?"

Changsun Wuji heard what Fang Xuanling meant, and he wanted to change his coach.

"Since Xu Luoren has been ordered to lead hundreds of cavalry south, it will be long before he will be able to take back Qin Qiaogong."

"The saint has issued many decrees to summon Wei Duke to the court before." Fang Xuanling retorted bluntly.

These two prime ministers said one by one, but they were verbally dismissed and refused to give in to each other. I don’t know when, but the two once close comrades in the court have now become a relationship that is incompatible.

Prince Chengqian stood up and persuaded the two of them.

"Don't fight for the two ministers." He turned to the emperor, "My son thought that Duke Wei was not willing to be the commander of the Eastern Expedition."

In fact, Li Shimin knew this in his heart. As for why Qin Lang was unwilling to take charge, everyone knew it.

Qin Lang's achievements are high enough that he does not need to lead troops to the east. It is not all a good thing for the ministers to have high achievements.

Qin Lang has become more and more confused over the years.

"What are the suggestions of the prince?" Li Shimin asked Chengqian.

"My son thinks that the saint should choose a general as the commander, and make a decision early, and then notify the Prime Minister of Qin and call him back to Beijing to marry Princess Changle."

Li Shimin nodded to the prince.

"Qin Lang and Changle's marriage cannot be delayed. If Qin Lang is allowed to take charge of the Eastern Expedition, wouldn't this marriage have to be delayed again and again? I can't delay Changle. This way, Qin Lang is not required to take charge of the Eastern Expedition. Let him come back first and finish the marriage. After the marriage, he will stay in Beijing to assist Chengqian and accompany Changle more."
