In Xiao Mingcheng's memory, Datang's battle against Goguryeo was fairly smooth. It took two years, but it finally put down Goguryeo and turned the territory there into Datang's Protectorate.The royal father wholeheartedly wanted to make him the crown prince, and he didn't need any military achievements to make his resume colorful.
It's just that it may be because of the war in which the Spike Army's iron hooves smashed through the dream of the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, compared with the first life, Xiao Mingcheng is not sure that the Tang Dynasty can successfully defeat Goguryeo.Some things, without his own hands, he is still a little worried.
Of course, he can also avoid unnecessary losses, such as the oolong caused by Yuan Wanqing, a general who accompanied the army.
Thinking of this person, Xiao Mingcheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, with a helpless expression.
During the battle of Goguryeo, Yuan Wanqing once deciphered the acrostic poems passed down by general Guo Daifeng for Li Ji, obtained information from them, and solved Guo Daifeng's urgent need for food shortage.But it was also him, who wrote the song "Calling Goryeo", which ridiculed Goguryeo for not knowing the danger of guarding the Yalu River, but instead reminded Yuan Nanjian to strictly guard the Yalu River, hindering the progress of the Tang army and wasting a lot of troops in vain.
When the Tang army pacified Goguryeo and slowly digested the land and population of Goguryeo, they had been surrounding Datang as a vassal state, and Silla, which assisted Datang in attacking Goguryeo, turned to support the Goguryeo rebels.
In ordinary times, Datang would naturally look down on Silla's tricks.But a few years later, when Tubo rebelled and Tang was too busy fighting on the western front to take care of the newly-built Protectorate, Silla took the opportunity to invade a lot of territory south of the Datong River.Although Silla pleaded guilty and became a minister after the incident, and Datang also "magnanimously" no longer pursued it, but to put it bluntly, it was because Datang was short of troops, and Silla took advantage of it.
Xiao Mingcheng got used to seeing the King of Silla's duplicitous villain act like a villain, and it was strange.
In the Linzhao Hall, Xiao Mingcheng lowered his eyelashes and sneered.
Li Zhi has no doubt that he must respond to Boy Yuan's request for help.
Now the army of the Tang Dynasty is dominated by Zhechong government soldiers, but the military strength of the government soldiers alone is not enough to pacify Goguryeo, so it is necessary to recruit troops from various places, which will take a certain amount of time.
While recruiting soldiers and horses to mobilize food and grass, the candidates for the generals to go to battle were selected, and there was a heated discussion in the court.
Among the military generals in the court, Li Zhi trusted nothing more than Da Sikong Li Ji, a talented general who opened up the territory of the Tang Dynasty and made outstanding contributions.It's just that since ancient times, beauties have lamented their twilight, and heroes are not allowed to see their gray hair.No matter how good Li Ji is, he is already seventy years old. Li Zhi believes in Li Ji's leadership, but he is more worried about his health.
Li Zhi was unwilling to send Li Ji to the expedition, but he was willing to listen to his opinion.Based on Li Ji's suggestion, Li Zhi decided to send Qibi Heli, the general of Youxiaowei, and Pang Tongshan, the general of Youjinwuwei, as the main fighters, and Yuan Xiancheng as the guide, with the assistance of Gao Kan, the governor of Yingzhou adjacent to Goguryeo.
However, before Li Zhi's will was made, Xiao Mingcheng gave Li Zhi a heavy blow.
"You're messing around!" In the Palace of Ganlu, an impatient Li Zhi almost pointed at Xiao Mingcheng's nose and cursed, "A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you ignore your own safety."
Xiao Mingcheng blinked, and said in a low voice, "Aye, I am acting king now."
"I will now decree to make you the crown prince!" Li Zhi roared, and he was about to hold a court meeting to declare the decree.
Xiao Mingcheng hastily persuaded Li Zhi to stop, and he talked about it, reminiscing about the great ancestor Taizong, and imagining that the Tang Dynasty would conquer Goguryeo, and he had a lot of good things to say.
Xiao Mingcheng was originally in Li Zhi's heart, although he didn't want Xiao Mingcheng to go to war, but he asked himself, if he had this opportunity... Li Zhi himself really wanted to go to the battlefield.
Emperor Taizong's personal conquest in the past year broke the illusion of invincibility created by the failure of the Sui Dynasty's three campaigns against Goguryeo.Even though Emperor Taizong failed to defeat Goguryeo in the end, he tore a piece of flesh from Goguryeo fiercely, so that the world could see that Goguryeo was not invincible.
It was his father's regret that he died in Hanfeng Palace after he failed to conquer Goguryeo. As a son of man, although Li Zhi did not have the iron and blood spirit of Emperor Taizong's life as a soldier, he also had a very high heart. You can get a glimpse of it by killing a bloody path in a monopoly environment.
Among the two generations of father and son, no one knows Li Zhi better than Xiao Mingcheng.He spoke with sincerity, and every word and every word touched the emotions in Li Zhi's heart that had never been expressed in his mouth. Even if Li Zhi didn't want to, the balance in his heart kept tilting towards Xiao Mingcheng.
At the end of Xiao Mingcheng's speech, Li Zhi gritted his teeth, but only dryly pointed out that Xiao Mingcheng's body was too weak for the battlefield.
Xiao Mingcheng smiled, and raised his hand to poke Li Zhi's dragon table, with inner strength released outward, leaving a three-inch-deep finger hole on the table table where a knife could barely leave a trace.
Li Zhi: "!!!"
Li Zhi suddenly remembered that in the few days after Xiao Mingcheng took the heaven and earth elixir, the decorations in the Linzhao Hall would be damaged to varying degrees from time to time, and then it was Xiao Mingcheng who came over hesitantly and proposed to learn martial arts.
How did he reply back then?
Oh, by the way, he summoned his confidant medical officers from the Imperial Medical Office to teach his son Wu Qin Xi.
In his perception, even though the heaven and earth elixir restored Xiao Mingcheng's health, it was only at the level of ordinary people, and it was a blessing to be able to live a normal life. As for other things, Li Zhi didn't even dare to think about it.
That kind of knives, guns and sticks are not suitable for my son's weak body.But since the son wants to learn it, and he can't refuse it, let's learn Wu Qinxi, which can keep in good health.
The corner of Xiao Mingcheng's mouth twitched when he made up his mind to use the heaven and earth elixir as an excuse, but he honestly learned Wu Qinxi from the medical officer.
After another two years, Li Zhi gradually handed over his confidants to Xiao Mingcheng, like Da Sikong and Li Ji.But in this step-by-step process, the first to turn against him was not old fritters like Li Ji, but his grandsons.
Such as Li Jingye, such as Li Jingyou.
The relationship between Xiao Mingcheng and Li Jingye's brothers is good, Li Zhi knows this, Xiao Mingcheng also told Li Zhi specifically that he learned something from the Li family's martial arts master and benefited a lot.
At that time, Li Zhi had a good time to praise Xiao Mingcheng, but he didn't think that Xiao Mingcheng had learned so many advanced things. He only thought that the martial arts master arranged by Li Ji taught Xiao Mingcheng some skills for self-cultivation. Take care of your frail baby son.
As for Li Ji's answer, His Royal Highness Dai Wang was extremely talented and a martial arts prodigy, Li Zhi thought it was an exaggeration and didn't take it to heart.
Now it seems... His Mingcheng is really a martial arts prodigy? !
Li Zhi was shocked.
Although he was amazed by Xiao Mingcheng's talent in martial arts, he thought happily that his family's gentleman, both civil and military, was worthy of being the beloved son of him and Mei Niang, but Li Zhi was still worried about the danger of going to the battlefield, and only said in his tone Unavoidably tough but a little weaker.
Hearing the wavering in Li Zhi's tone, Xiao Mingcheng continued his efforts.It's just that Li Zhi got angry again, and immediately slapped the dragon case, shaking the things on the dragon case.
"Go to the front line incognito? This is even worse!"
This day, the emperor's personal conquest is said to be a personal conquest, but the emperor does not need to personally dress up and charge into the battle. Most of them are convenient to boost morale after sitting in the town.It's not that the emperor is afraid of death, but that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and the emperor's morale will be greatly damaged if he is injured at all.
Li Zhi was so angry that he rubbed his heart, how could he have such a troublesome son.
But anger was nothing but anger, and Li Zhi admired Xiao Mingcheng's courage from the bottom of his heart, so he was terribly entangled for a moment.
"Aye." Xiao Mingcheng lifted up his clothes, slowly knelt down in front of Li Zhi, looked up at Li Zhi who was so angry that he slapped the table and rubbed his heart, and said word by word: "I will be fine, I will be fine with you." The Tang army flattened Goguryeo, for Aye, for the Great Tang to create an inexhaustible achievement. Aye, believe me, Mingcheng can do it."
"You...you..." Li Zhi pointed at Xiao Mingcheng, wanted to scold him but refused to give up, was moved but couldn't hide his worry, and his facial expression was distorted for a moment.
Xiao Mingcheng's firm and quiet eyes turned to be pitiful, and he looked at Li Zhi wetly, and said, "Aye, you just let your son go."
Li Zhi: "...Get out of here and go back to Linzhao Hall, you can't go out without my, my will!"
Li Zhi drove Xiao Mingcheng out of the Ganlu Hall with a grumpy expression, obviously making him think about his mistakes, but he didn't directly issue an order or give a verbal order, this kind of dialogue only exists between father and son.But Xiao Mingcheng returned to the Linzhao Hall obediently, and really closed the door of the hall and never went out again.
Xiao Mingcheng is very calm, the army to attack Goguryeo will start on the seventh day of next month, and there is still half a month to go.According to Xiao Mingcheng's understanding of his father, his thoughts of obstructing him have been much less, and now what stands in front of him is nothing but reluctance and too much worry.
This takes a little time to tangle up.
Xiao Mingcheng silently criticized himself for being unfilial in his heart, but waited wholeheartedly for Li Zhi to let go.
With Xiao Mingcheng's disturbance, Li Zhi didn't sleep well all night, and his whole body was extremely irritable, and he tore up the imperial decree he had drawn up before.
However, just like Xiao Mingcheng's understanding of Li Zhi, Li Zhi has actually been touched by Xiao Mingcheng's words.
The son was born so weak that he almost thought he would not survive, but he grew up well.Li Zhi never regretted giving the elixir of heaven and earth to Xiao Mingcheng. For Li Zhi, Xiao Mingcheng was his bloodline continuation, the heir he was eagerly looking forward to, and Xiao Mingcheng had never let him down.
But this time, Li Zhi was irritable and depressed, not because of disappointment, but because of the intertwining of worry and pride, which made him hardly know what to do.
On the seventh day of Xiao Mingcheng's "unrepentant" day, before dawn, a group of palace officials were ordered to come to Linzhao Hall, holding clothes, boots and other things in their hands.The leader, Wang Fusheng, saluted respectfully and said, "Your Highness, the sage ordered this old servant to change your clothes for you."
Xiao Mingcheng glanced at the clothes held by the palace servants, the white clothes and scarlet belts, and suddenly realized something.He pursed his lips and opened his arms.
A group of palace servants lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, quickly changed clothes for Xiao Mingcheng, combed his hair carefully, walked out of the Linzhao Hall to welcome him, and got on the sedan chair that had been waiting outside the hall.
The chariot sedan carried Xiao Mingcheng all the way to the outside of the Taimiao.
Outside the Taimiao, soldiers will wear armor and line up on both sides.
The emperor in black clothes stood on the east steps of the Taimiao, and behind him were members of Li Tang's clan who were also dressed in black.Officials of the fifth grade and above of the hundred officials of the imperial court stood on the west steps of the Taimiao and bowed to salute.
"On behalf of Wang Li Hong, a crowning ceremony."
"Praisers enter the temple."
The lineup for Xiao Mingcheng's coronation ceremony was undoubtedly quite luxurious, the emperor came in person, the guest of honor, Li Ji, the three who praised the official ceremony, and the three expelled, were all high officials of the court and middle school, with both virtue and conduct, and all the clan officials watched the ceremony.
With a solemn expression, Li Ji put on a cloth crown for Xiao Mingcheng first, and said in a deep voice: "On the auspicious day of the lunar month, we will start to add clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, follow your success and become a virtue. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."
When Jiapi Bian crowned the crown, he said again: "Auspicious moon and celestial days, Shen Erfu. Respect Er Weiyi, Shu Shende. My eyebrows live forever, and I will always be blessed by Hu Fu."
Adding the Juebian crown, he said: "With the righteousness of the year and the order of the month, Xianjia will obey. Brothers are there to make Jue De. The yellow scorpion has no boundaries, and it is celebrated by the sky."
Xiao Mingcheng had already changed into the black clothes similar to Li Zhi's when he was crowned the prince.Even if he was not crowned prince, today's coronation ceremony made it clear to all the officials and clans who the current Holy Majesty's preferred heir is.
Li Zhi walked slowly in front of Xiao Mingcheng, put his hands on Xiao Mingcheng's shoulders, and said slowly: "Give me your name, Mingcheng."
What is "Ming"?
Shining in all directions is called light.
What is "Sheng"?
The rising sun is called Sheng.
Xiao Mingcheng leaned over to salute, with his forehead resting on the ground of the Taimiao.
Li Zhi slowly closed his eyes, now that he has been crowned, he can take on it.
If you insist on joining the army, you should be yourself, and I wish you well.
Now that it is decided to let Xiao Mingcheng go to the Liaodong battlefield, Li Zhi's previous deployment will have to be reversed and repeated.It wasn't that there was any flaw in the previous arrangement, but that at the critical moment, he still trusted Li Ji the most.
After asking Li Ji again and again, Li Ji also repeatedly said that the old man is still tough and willing to expand the territory for the Holy One. After that, Li Zhi finally decreed that Li Ji was appointed as the general manager and comfort ambassador of the Liaodong Road Army, and he was in charge of the battle. As deputy, Qibi Heli, Pang Tongshan and others will be under the command of Li Ji.
In addition to these leading generals, several orders were issued in succession, and some civilian officials were selected to accompany the army.But one of them surprised a group of Xinke Scholars who hadn't been released from Beijing yet.
Tanhua Lang He Lanmin was awarded the title of Tongshi Sheren and went out with the army.
Tongshi Sheren belongs to the Ministry of Zhongshu, and is in charge of imperial edicts and submission of case chapters, etc., and is a proper civil servant, or from the sixth rank, compared with the new division Jinshi who are usually only awarded eighth-ninth rank petty officials after the imperial examination. He Lanminzhi's official position undoubtedly made everyone a little jealous, thinking that he was in the honor of the future Princess Chen.
But in the latter sentence, "go out with the army", that bit of jealousy disappeared immediately.
Since ancient times, civil and military relatives have been neglected. Civil officials think military officials are vulgar, and military officials hate civil officials for hypocrisy. Especially during the reign of Changsun Wuji, military officials were suppressed wantonly.Fortunately, His Majesty has always supported the military officers headed by Da Sikong and Li Ji, and the border of the Tang Dynasty was not stable, so the civil servants did not completely control the government.
For some literati, the battlefield is undoubtedly the mouth of tigers and wolves.Even if some affairs need to be handled by civil servants during the war, those civil servants are not pure civil servants, they are often born generals and proficient in martial arts.Several generations of the Helan family have never been to the battlefield, and they are all serious civil servants.But now, he was hand-picked by the emperor, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
No matter what other people think, He Lanmin is very calm and respectfully accepts the order.
He wants to go to war, but he also has self-knowledge.How could he, a civil servant with an imperial examination background, enter the military camp as a general? The official position of Tongshi Sheren can serve around the commander-in-chief Li Ji.If he could make Li Sikong look at him differently, he would naturally be able to go to the battlefield.
It's just that they don't know what identity Xiao Mingcheng will appear in the barracks.
On the seventh day of June in the ninth year of Shuoyang, the army was raised, and the emperor led a hundred officials out of Chang'an to see him off.
Li Ji was wearing armor with a solemn expression.
Li Zhi tried his best to control his eyes and did not forget to glance at the army behind Li Ji. Seeing that Li Ji hesitated to speak, he finally held Li Ji's hands and said in a deep voice, "Li Qing, I wish you a triumphant return."
"The last general, Li Ji, takes orders."
Li Zhi watched Li Ji lead the army away, and the inside story was terribly entangled.
With the heart of serving the country and defending the country, how could the general manager of the Liaodong Road know that the king looked at him with eager eyes, not only hoping that he would bring victory, but also hoping that the battle would go smoothly and not hurt the army behind him. That Captain Xuan Jie who he just crowned a while ago, but now standing in front of his eyes can't recognize who it is.
Xiaowei Xuanjie, a young general of the eighth rank, came from the sixteenth guard of the Tang army.The Sixteenth Guards lived outside the center, guarding the capital, and marching and fighting was not within the scope of the Sixteenth Guards' responsibilities. However, when the Marching Generalissimo rushed to Liaodong and recruited soldiers to gather under Li Ji's command along the way, the soldiers sent by the Sixteenth Guards would assist him.In order to avoid taking the lead, all the sixteen guards sent young generals, and all actions were under Li Ji's command.
Li Zhi pinched his nose and arranged such an identity for Xiao Mingcheng.
A young general on the eighth rank, a young general with bigger sesame seeds.
It stands to reason that Li Ji was the official guest at Xiao Mingcheng's coronation ceremony that day, and he has seen Xiao Mingcheng a lot these years. It is impossible for Xiao Mingcheng to avoid Li Ji all the time. No matter how complete the incognito procedures are, there will be times when he reveals his secrets, but Xiao Mingcheng can't stand it. , There will be many tricks.
Li Zhi watched helplessly as Xiao Mingcheng got some things from the Imperial Medical Office, smeared them on and on, and the handsome man who was so well-equipped with Zhilan Yushu turned into a slightly mediocre young man.If you take a closer look, it seems to be somewhat similar to the previous appearance, but if you look again, there is a big difference.
In short, Li Zhi saw with his own eyes how his son didn't look like his son.
"This..." Li Zhi rubbed his heart and said with difficulty: "Is it also taught by the martial arts master in Li Qing's family?"
Xiao Mingcheng didn't speak, but only showed a familiar but unfamiliar smile.
Well, this is what the masters of Wanhua Valley taught well.
The author has something to say: [Continue to text]
Things have come to this point, Li Zhi had no choice but to help set up Xiao Mingcheng's fake identity, and also gave Xiao Mingcheng his own Panlong Jade Pendant, plus a secret edict, to the effect that seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the emperor.Li Hong, the acting king, was ordered by the emperor to take over the command of the Tang army, and all the generals obeyed the order.
The Panlong Jade Pendant and Secret Edict are the secret weapons that Li Zhi gave Xiao Mingcheng. In case something happens, with these things, Xiao Mingcheng can mobilize the Tang army.Although he feels sorry for the commander in chief of this battle, Li Zhi believes that his son will not act recklessly.

#818Spicy emperor with broken views#
Li Zhi: Isn't my son a weak and beautiful boy? Is this table made of paper? !
Xiao Mingcheng: Of course you are a pretty boy when you hit me, but you can’t be weak o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o

Yuan Wanqing's oolong was really helpless and funny. After listening to Yuan Wanqing's "Gao Liwen", Yuan Nanjian specially wrote back to express his gratitude for his suggestion, and then sent troops to defend the Yalu River... Yuan Wanqing was exiled because of this , only returned to the imperial capital when he met Amnesty.This man was really talented, and later he fell into the eyes of Emperor Wu, and his official position was almost the position of deputy prime minister.However, because Yuan Wanqing had a good relationship with Xu Jingye, after Xu Jingye turned his back on him, he was framed and implicated, and he was exiled to Lingnan again.
Datang is currently implementing the Fubing system, training soldiers during the slack season, and plowing the fields during the farming season→_→But the number of Fubing is actually not enough. When attacking Goguryeo, the main force of the army is actually recruiting.
Historically, Li Ji was not the general who conquered Goguryeo for the first time at this time. He joined the battle after several months of fighting.
In other words, Li Ji is 72 years old at this time, really old and strong!

It's just that it may be because of the war in which the Spike Army's iron hooves smashed through the dream of the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, compared with the first life, Xiao Mingcheng is not sure that the Tang Dynasty can successfully defeat Goguryeo.Some things, without his own hands, he is still a little worried.
Of course, he can also avoid unnecessary losses, such as the oolong caused by Yuan Wanqing, a general who accompanied the army.

"Aye." Xiao Mingcheng lifted up his clothes, slowly knelt down in front of Li Zhi, looked up at Li Zhi who was so angry that he slapped the table and rubbed his heart, and said word by word: "I will be fine, I will be fine with you." The Tang army flattened Goguryeo, for Aye, for the Great Tang to create an inexhaustible achievement. Aye, believe me, Mingcheng can do it."
"You...you..." Li Zhi pointed at Xiao Mingcheng, wanted to scold him but refused to give up, was moved but couldn't hide his worry, and his facial expression was distorted for a moment.
Xiao Mingcheng's firm and quiet eyes turned to be pitiful, and he looked at Li Zhi wetly, and said, "Aye, you just let your son go."
Li Zhi: "...Get out of here and go back to Linzhao Hall, you can't go out without my, my will!"
Li Zhi drove Xiao Mingcheng out of the Ganlu Hall with a grumpy expression, obviously making him think about his mistakes, but he didn't directly issue an order or give a verbal order, this kind of dialogue only exists between father and son.But Xiao Mingcheng returned to the Linzhao Hall obediently, and really closed the door of the hall and never went out again.

Xiao Mingcheng silently criticized himself for being unfilial in his heart, but waited wholeheartedly for Li Zhi to let go.
With Xiao Mingcheng's disturbance, Li Zhi didn't sleep well all night, and his whole body was extremely irritable, and he tore up the imperial decree he had drawn up before.
However, just like Xiao Mingcheng's understanding of Li Zhi, Li Zhi has actually been touched by Xiao Mingcheng's words.
The son was born so weak that he almost thought he would not survive, but he grew up well.Li Zhi never regretted giving the elixir of heaven and earth to Xiao Mingcheng. For Li Zhi, Xiao Mingcheng was his bloodline continuation, the heir he was eagerly looking forward to, and Xiao Mingcheng had never let him down.
But this time, Li Zhi was irritable and depressed, not because of disappointment, but because of the intertwining of worry and pride, which made him hardly know what to do.
On the seventh day of Xiao Mingcheng's "unrepentant" day, before dawn, a group of palace officials were ordered to come to Linzhao Hall, holding clothes, boots and other things in their hands.The leader, Wang Fusheng, saluted respectfully and said, "Your Highness, the sage ordered this old servant to change your clothes for you."
Xiao Mingcheng glanced at the clothes held by the palace servants, the white clothes and scarlet belts, and suddenly realized something.He pursed his lips and opened his arms.
A group of palace servants lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, quickly changed clothes for Xiao Mingcheng, combed his hair carefully, walked out of the Linzhao Hall to welcome him, and got on the sedan chair that had been waiting outside the hall.
The chariot sedan carried Xiao Mingcheng all the way to the outside of the Taimiao.
Outside the Taimiao, soldiers will wear armor and line up on both sides.
The emperor in black clothes stood on the east steps of the Taimiao, and behind him were members of Li Tang's clan who were also dressed in black.Officials of the fifth grade and above of the hundred officials of the imperial court stood on the west steps of the Taimiao and bowed to salute.
"On behalf of Wang Li Hong, a crowning ceremony."
"Praisers enter the temple."
The lineup for Xiao Mingcheng's coronation ceremony was undoubtedly quite luxurious, the emperor came in person, the guest of honor, Li Ji, the three who praised the official ceremony, and the three expelled, were all high officials of the court and middle school, with both virtue and conduct, and all the clan officials watched the ceremony.
With a solemn expression, Li Ji put on a cloth crown for Xiao Mingcheng first, and said in a deep voice: "On the auspicious day of the lunar month, we will start to add clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, follow your success and become a virtue. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."
When Jiapi Bian crowned the crown, he said again: "Auspicious moon and celestial days, Shen Erfu. Respect Er Weiyi, Shu Shende. My eyebrows live forever, and I will always be blessed by Hu Fu."
Adding the Juebian crown, he said: "With the righteousness of the year and the order of the month, Xianjia will obey. Brothers are there to make Jue De. The yellow scorpion has no boundaries, and it is celebrated by the sky."
Xiao Mingcheng had already changed into the black clothes similar to Li Zhi's when he was crowned the prince.Even if he was not crowned prince, today's coronation ceremony made it clear to all the officials and clans who the current Holy Majesty's preferred heir is.
Li Zhi walked slowly in front of Xiao Mingcheng, put his hands on Xiao Mingcheng's shoulders, and said slowly: "Give me your name, Mingcheng."
What is "Ming"?
Shining in all directions is called light.
What is "Sheng"?
The rising sun is called Sheng.
Xiao Mingcheng leaned over to salute, with his forehead resting on the ground of the Taimiao.
Li Zhi slowly closed his eyes, now that he has been crowned, he can take on it.
If you insist on joining the army, you should be yourself, and I wish you well.
Now that it is decided to let Xiao Mingcheng go to the Liaodong battlefield, Li Zhi's previous deployment will have to be reversed and repeated.It wasn't that there was any flaw in the previous arrangement, but that at the critical moment, he still trusted Li Ji the most.
After asking Li Ji again and again, Li Ji also repeatedly said that the old man is still tough and willing to expand the territory for the Holy One. After that, Li Zhi finally decreed that Li Ji was appointed as the general manager and comfort ambassador of the Liaodong Road Army, and he was in charge of the battle. As deputy, Qibi Heli, Pang Tongshan and others will be under the command of Li Ji.
In addition to these leading generals, several orders were issued in succession, and some civilian officials were selected to accompany the army.But one of them surprised a group of Xinke Scholars who hadn't been released from Beijing yet.
Tanhua Lang He Lanmin was awarded the title of Tongshi Sheren and went out with the army.
Tongshi Sheren belongs to the Ministry of Zhongshu, and is in charge of imperial edicts and submission of case chapters, etc., and is a proper civil servant, or from the sixth rank, compared with the new division Jinshi who are usually only awarded eighth-ninth rank petty officials after the imperial examination. He Lanminzhi's official position undoubtedly made everyone a little jealous, thinking that he was in the honor of the future Princess Chen.
But in the latter sentence, "go out with the army", that bit of jealousy disappeared immediately.
Since ancient times, civil and military relatives have been neglected. Civil officials think military officials are vulgar, and military officials hate civil officials for hypocrisy. Especially during the reign of Changsun Wuji, military officials were suppressed wantonly.Fortunately, His Majesty has always supported the military officers headed by Da Sikong and Li Ji, and the border of the Tang Dynasty was not stable, so the civil servants did not completely control the government.
For some literati, the battlefield is undoubtedly the mouth of tigers and wolves.Even if some affairs need to be handled by civil servants during the war, those civil servants are not pure civil servants, they are often born generals and proficient in martial arts.Several generations of the Helan family have never been to the battlefield, and they are all serious civil servants.But now, he was hand-picked by the emperor, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
No matter what other people think, He Lanmin is very calm and respectfully accepts the order.
He wants to go to war, but he also has self-knowledge.How could he, a civil servant with an imperial examination background, enter the military camp as a general? The official position of Tongshi Sheren can serve around the commander-in-chief Li Ji.If he could make Li Sikong look at him differently, he would naturally be able to go to the battlefield.
It's just that they don't know what identity Xiao Mingcheng will appear in the barracks.
On the seventh day of June in the ninth year of Shuoyang, the army was raised, and the emperor led a hundred officials out of Chang'an to see him off.
Li Ji was wearing armor with a solemn expression.
Li Zhi tried his best to control his eyes and did not forget to glance at the army behind Li Ji. Seeing that Li Ji hesitated to speak, he finally held Li Ji's hands and said in a deep voice, "Li Qing, I wish you a triumphant return."
"The last general, Li Ji, takes orders."
Li Zhi watched Li Ji lead the army away, and the inside story was terribly entangled.
With the heart of serving the country and defending the country, how could the general manager of the Liaodong Road know that the king looked at him with eager eyes, not only hoping that he would bring victory, but also hoping that the battle would go smoothly and not hurt the army behind him. That Captain Xuan Jie who he just crowned a while ago, but now standing in front of his eyes can't recognize who it is.
Xiaowei Xuanjie, a young general of the eighth rank, came from the sixteenth guard of the Tang army.The Sixteenth Guards lived outside the center, guarding the capital, and marching and fighting was not within the scope of the Sixteenth Guards' responsibilities. However, when the Marching Generalissimo rushed to Liaodong and recruited soldiers to gather under Li Ji's command along the way, the soldiers sent by the Sixteenth Guards would assist him.In order to avoid taking the lead, all the sixteen guards sent young generals, and all actions were under Li Ji's command.
Li Zhi pinched his nose and arranged such an identity for Xiao Mingcheng.
A young general on the eighth rank, a young general with bigger sesame seeds.
It stands to reason that Li Ji was the official guest at Xiao Mingcheng's coronation ceremony that day, and he has seen Xiao Mingcheng a lot these years. It is impossible for Xiao Mingcheng to avoid Li Ji all the time. No matter how complete the incognito procedures are, there will be times when he reveals his secrets, but Xiao Mingcheng can't stand it. , There will be many tricks.
Li Zhi watched helplessly as Xiao Mingcheng got some things from the Imperial Medical Office, smeared them on and on, and the handsome man who was so well-equipped with Zhilan Yushu turned into a slightly mediocre young man.If you take a closer look, it seems to be somewhat similar to the previous appearance, but if you look again, there is a big difference.
In short, Li Zhi saw with his own eyes how his son didn't look like his son.
"This..." Li Zhi rubbed his heart and said with difficulty: "Is it also taught by the martial arts master in Li Qing's family?"
Xiao Mingcheng didn't speak, but only showed a familiar but unfamiliar smile.
Well, this is what the masters of Wanhua Valley taught well.

Things have come to this point, Li Zhi had no choice but to help set up Xiao Mingcheng's fake identity, and also gave Xiao Mingcheng his own Panlong Jade Pendant, plus a secret edict, to the effect that seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the emperor.Li Hong, the acting king, was ordered by the emperor to take over the command of the Tang army, and all the generals obeyed the order.
The Panlong Jade Pendant and Secret Edict are the secret weapons that Li Zhi gave Xiao Mingcheng. In case something happens, with these things, Xiao Mingcheng can mobilize the Tang army.Although he feels sorry for the commander in chief of this battle, Li Zhi believes that his son will not act recklessly.

Children's Day is here, hhhHappy Children's Day~ Meh~ Today is a fat chapter, so I love you!

#818Spicy emperor with broken views#
Li Zhi: Isn't my son a weak and beautiful boy? Is this table made of paper? !
Xiao Mingcheng: Of course you are a pretty boy when you hit me, but you can’t be weak o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o

Yuan Wanqing's oolong was really helpless and funny. After listening to Yuan Wanqing's "Gao Liwen", Yuan Nanjian specially wrote back to express his gratitude for his suggestion, and then sent troops to defend the Yalu River... Yuan Wanqing was exiled because of this , only returned to the imperial capital when he met Amnesty.This man was really talented, and later he fell into the eyes of Emperor Wu, and his official position was almost the position of deputy prime minister.However, because Yuan Wanqing had a good relationship with Xu Jingye, after Xu Jingye turned his back on him, he was framed and implicated, and he was exiled to Lingnan again.
Datang is currently implementing the Fubing system, training soldiers during the slack season, and plowing the fields during the farming season→_→But the number of Fubing is actually not enough. When attacking Goguryeo, the main force of the army is actually recruiting.
Historically, Li Ji was not the general who conquered Goguryeo for the first time at this time. He joined the battle after several months of fighting.
In other words, Li Ji is 72 years old at this time, really old and strong!
