When the news spread that the imperial court decided to let Han Yuan and Wang Dezhen stay in Liubu to observe the government, the government and the public were in an uproar, and the people with lofty ideals regretted it.
Such a good opportunity is rare!
This move is no worse than the path taken by the talents recommended by the aristocratic families, it is even stronger!
Some officials felt that it was inappropriate for the emperor to do this, and wrote to the emperor, requesting that the edict be revoked. The emperor said nothing, but told the officials that if they could get such high scores on a test paper of the same difficulty, he could consider it
.
Then, no one dared to beep anymore.
This is not a threat, but intellectual oppression.
The difficulty of the imperial examination papers after the reform is obvious to all, and scholars who can obtain high scores are talents.
Since they are talents, why not cultivate them?
In March, news came from Youzhou that the Khitan leader Dahe Duoluo led his troops to attack the Xi tribe. The leader of the Xi tribe, Ke Duzhe, asked for help from the Tang Dynasty.
Tai Chi Hall.
"Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight!"
The speaker was Cheng Yaojin, the chief governor of the Sangqian Governor's Mansion.
At the beginning, Li Zhiyun promised several governors that he would not let them stay on the grassland eating sand. So in recent days, he ordered the governors to be recalled to Chang'an and take charge of the governor's mansion. In fact, Li Zhiyun originally planned to give them a few
There is no point in changing places to serve as governor, but there are only four governor's offices at present.
Moreover, letting them stay in Chang'an and serve as governors in name will not only prevent the local governors from taking root in the future, but also allow them to be dispatched to take charge of the governor's office as soon as possible when something goes wrong at the governor's mansion.
In addition, Li Zhiyun was also worried that he would not be able to restrain the ambitious prairie dog by changing the governor rashly.
Now, the opportunity has come.
"Mr. Su Guo, the Khitan people don't know how to count. They have offended the Tang Dynasty. If they want to go there, I should go there!" Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Dingxiang, stood up, bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, let the general go.
The general will definitely pluck off the head of the great Heduluo and give it to His Majesty!"
From a geographical point of view, Dingxiang Dudufu is indeed closer to the Khitan territory.
"I'll go!" Cheng Yaojin said without giving in, "Your Majesty, let me go. If Lao Cheng doesn't destroy the Khitan, you can twist off Lao Cheng's head!"
"Bah!" Wu Guogong Wei Chi Gong said angrily: "Your head is useless. What your Majesty wants is the head of Da He Duo Luo, not yours. It's better for me to go. Only I can annihilate the Khitan thieves in one fell swoop!"
"Fart!" Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened and he cursed, "Are you making gestures?"
"Come on, I'm afraid of you!" Yuchi Gong choked back.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun rubbed his temples and looked speechless. These two hanging people like to quarrel at court meetings no matter what.
Naturally, other generals were not willing to let go of such an opportunity. They walked out of the queue one after another and asked the emperor for a chance.
At this time, an inappropriate voice appeared.
Dai Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to use troops."
"What did you say?" Cheng Yaojin stared at him.
Dai Wei was not afraid at all and asked: "General Cheng, war requires money and food. All the money and food from the court are used for disaster relief. Will you give me money and food?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "I don't need many soldiers and horses. The Sangqian Governor's Mansion has more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, which is enough for me to defeat the Khitan."
"I still said the same thing, who will give you money and food?" Dai Wei was unmoved.
Unlike others, Dai Wei was also a minister of the emperor's dormitory, so he was not afraid of Cheng Yaojin.
And Cheng Yaojin really didn't dare to hit him with his fist.
"Why are you looking forward and backward? Do you want to sit back and watch the Khitan annex the Xi clan and threaten the safety of Youyan?"
Faced with Cheng Yaojin's question, Dai Wei still said: "If I give you all the money and food from the government treasury to attack the Khitan, how will the victims be resettled? At present, the new food has not been harvested and the old food will be used up. General Cheng, tell me
what should I do?"
"Okay." Li Zhiyun interrupted them and said, "Don't say you didn't predict what you said. First send someone to tell Da Heduluo to go back to the land of Khitan. If he doesn't listen, we will send troops again!"
Is this really the case?
Of course it’s impossible!
How could Li Zhiyun let such an opportunity go?
The Xi clan and the Khitan have so many slaves and so much territory, can they be let go like this?
What a joke!
After going down to court, Li Zhiyun summoned Wei Yunqi, the Sinong Shaoqing, in the side hall of Taiji Hall.
"Wei Qing, you should be familiar with Khitan," Li Zhiyun said with a smile.
Wei Yunqi bowed and said, "I taught them a lesson in the first year of Sui Dynasty."
"Haha." Li Zhiyun was amused, and immediately said: "Wei Qing, there are no Turkic soldiers for you this time, only Xi tribe soldiers. Can you win the Khitan?"
"Although I am old, I still have enough strength to deal with the Khitan." Wei Yunqi replied calmly.
He is quite comfortable staying at Sinong Temple for retirement now, but it would also be nice if he could go on the battlefield again in the last stage of his life.
"Good." Li Zhiyun said: "I will ask Li Junxian, the general manager of Xuzhou, to lead 3,000 cavalry to go to the Xi clan with you. This time, I want you to destroy the Khitan!"
"I will live up to your majesty." Wei Yunqi bowed.
He doesn't want to fight for anything now. He just wants to make more contributions and leave them to future generations. Of course, he is also a little moved in his heart, because when he surrendered to His Majesty, Your Majesty promised him that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely let him go again.
Once in Liaodong.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty still remembers this.
As for the small things like His Majesty asking Li Junxian, the general manager of Xuzhou, to share the credit, he didn't care.
I am already very happy to be able to live such a happy life.
Li Zhiyun's decision is a secret and few people know about it.
Xuzhou.
Li Junxian received the emperor's secret order and suddenly wanted to cry. It was not his turn to fight the Turks. This time he finally had a chance to express himself!
"Hongshen, our chance has come!" Li Junxian said to the man in front of him.
Zhang Gongjin smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Congratulations, manager."
"It's too early to say this now. When the Khitan is captured and the Xi clan is occupied, it won't be too late for you to congratulate me. You will go and order all the troops and horses immediately and follow me northward. This time, you must perform well and make contributions.
.In this way, I can recommend you to His Majesty."
"Thank you so much, Chief Manager, for the promotion!" Zhang Gongjin said gratefully.
"Haha, let's talk about this later. We have to leave as soon as possible, so we don't want to be beaten by those old brothers in the court."
"yes."
This time, Li Zhiyun wanted to re-enact Wei Yunqi's old story of fighting the Khitans. The main reason was that the money and food in the Tang Dynasty's treasury must be used for disaster relief and to prepare for possible disasters. So this time to deal with the Khitans, they themselves
I can't get much supplies out.
We can only 'borrow' it from the Xi people.
With Li Junxian helping him, he felt that the problem was not big.
If Wei Yunqi fails in the end, then Li Zhiyun will let Sangqian Governor's Mansion and Dingxiang Governor's Mansion directly destroy the Khitan.
It is nothing more than a loss of something, but the majesty of the Tang Dynasty cannot be challenged.
This time the Khitan beat his younger brother without saying hello to him, Li Zhiyun couldn't pretend he didn't see it.
The only one who can beat children at will on the grassland is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
Dahe Duoluo, Li Zhiyun remembered this two-faced guy. Back then, this guy showed his kindness to the late emperor while also flirting with the Turks. He was a two-faced guy.
Whether it is to eliminate possible threats in the land of Youyan, or for the slave population of the Xi tribe and Khitan, or for the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.
This time, Li Zhiyun must send troops.
Datang had rested for two or three years. If it didn't take action to show the children on the grassland, they would think that Datang's knives were blunt.
