horrible
terrible
The sentence after the word Li Mingda seems to be ordinary, but in fact it contains countless murderous intentions. This sentence shows that there should be family members and friends of certain officials in the cabinet involved to a greater or lesser extent.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde narrowed their eyes. Most of them were from common people. The people around them were not complicated, and they did not have the relatives and friends of the entangled family merchants.
But some people are different. They are not ordinary people who can handle these things, such as Lao Li's own royal family.
But
Li Daozong has already gone in. Li Ji, Lao Niu and others will definitely not do this. Cheng Yaojin's Cui family has been taught a lesson by Li Mingda once, so they don't dare either.
Wei Zheng: "Your Majesty, I have nothing more to say here. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin also agreed: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I, Old Hei, and Old Cheng have nothing to say."
The ministers expressed their opinions one after another, saying that they were not involved. Li Mingda nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, I am ready to take action."
"Then let's write and mobilize the troops and leave them overnight. By the way, let's see how Luocang is doing in the Tang Dynasty. As for other areas, I will make arrangements myself."
More than ten cabinet ministers including Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Lu Zhi, Zhao Yun and others saluted one after another.
"Official, obey the order"
Li Mingda's purpose in forming the cabinet, apart from taking back power, is there another way to enhance the efficiency of the Tang Dynasty's official uniforms. Can the ministers in his hands complete the task in half an hour to an hour? Li Mingda said he wanted to see the deployment of 20,000 soldiers and the method formulated to investigate Luocang.
More than ten cabinet ministers, including Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Lu Zhi, and Zhao Yun, are all among the best. Even if they can't stand out, they can look amazing, especially when leading troops in war. The general is naturally clear about food and grass matters.
They quickly formulated a plan and signed the order to mobilize troops. Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin made preparations and set off to Luoyang overnight.
Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin held military talismans and set out with a group of palace guards and royal guards. They walked out of the palace. Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin got together and looked back at the wheel tracks of the palace in the dark night behind them, as if they were nestled there. of ferocious beasts.
"Old gangster, why do you think His Majesty wants us both?"
Cheng Yaojin twisted his mouth and said indifferently: "Old Cheng can't figure this out either. The pharmacist and Maogong are both more suitable than us. Maybe we want to try our skills."
Forehead
Thinking about Cheng Yaojin's words, Wei Zheng thought for a while and then shook his head in denial: "No, that shouldn't be the case. I think there should be other deeper meanings to this matter."
Wei Zheng's words made Cheng Yaojin think of something, and he couldn't help but glance towards the west, and then whispered to him: "Go to the west."
The west
The map of the earth in Li Mingda's hand was placed in the cabinet. They knew how big the world was. The current territory of the Tang Dynasty was indeed not small, but it was not all.
The Holy Emperor Mingzun of the Tang Dynasty was so powerful that he conquered the entire eastern continent, but there were still enemies in the west. According to Li Mingda, the flag of the Tang Dynasty should be planted in every corner of the world, and then he would conquer the stars and the sea.
call
It seems that His Majesty is preparing for the expedition. If you want to conquer the West thousands of miles away, a stable rear is necessary. For this reason, it is inevitable to investigate a series of warehouses such as Luocang. He just didn't expect it to be so fast. According to Judging from the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, it will take at least three to five years for the entire West to be established, and before that, Tianzhu must be conquered first.
Li Mingda dealt with Luocang so early. Was he planning to attack in advance? 53 Chinese website
Wei Zheng felt that something was wrong with this matter. Li Mingda was only so old. There was no need to worry about attacking the West. Even if it were ten to twenty years later, Li Mingda would still be young.
As for the generals and ministers in his hands, Cheng Yaojin is definitely old, but Zhao Yun and others in Li Mingda's hands are not very old. After 20 years, they will be in their 40s, and they are in their prime.
Even saying that maybe they never age at all.
I can't understand
Can't figure it out
The heart of an emperor is unpredictable
The heart of the Mingzun Saint Emperor is even more difficult
Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh, maybe in a few years he would be better off leaving the cabinet early and going home to cultivate himself with peace of mind, so that he might be able to live a few more years.
While Wei Zheng was thinking about it, Cheng Yaojin was also murmuring. He was also wondering why Li Mingda had to deal with the warehousing matter in advance. The expedition was discussed among their cabinets, and they all agreed that this matter It should be done within 1 to 2 years before the whole set.
Is it possible that the Tang Dynasty will launch an expedition within 2 years?
Cheng Yaojin didn't think that the time was now, it shouldn't be that early. He carefully recalled what Li Mingda said. Datang would build three large mines, and if there were steel smelting, they would add warships.
Could it be that he is paving the way for these things?
His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun was very cute when he was a child, but Cheng Yaojin couldn't understand it when he was older. Now he can't understand it at all, even just a little bit.
The road is dark at night
Even if the torch is lit, it still can't illuminate very far. This is outside Chang'an City. The garrison barracks are not far away and the roads are all well built. Cheng Yaojin doesn't know how many times he has to come here in a year. He used to lead troops to train and enter. Most of the time when the cabinet is in office, it is inspection tours.
On the way, since it was already early summer, insects were chirping constantly on the roadside. The sound of horse hooves made these little guys shut their mouths in shock. They waited for the sound of horse hooves to go away before they started to move again.
The war horses did not stop along the way, and it took a long time to reach the military camp. After all, the road was difficult to walk at night and one had to be careful of the dangers.
When Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin and his party arrived at the gate of the military camp, the general on duty and his soldiers blocked the way with spears and knives.
"This is a military camp. You have to dismount your horse and give your name and documents, otherwise you will be waiting for crossbows and arrows."
Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng did not choose to rely on their own names, even though they knew that the generals and soldiers on duty knew them.
Wei Zheng signaled Cheng Yaojin to go forward. Cheng Yaojin nodded and replied loudly: "I am the military cabinet minister Cheng Yaojin, the hussar general Cheng Yaojin, and Cheng Zhijie."
"General Cheng~! Do you have a command talisman?"
Cheng Yaojin: “Yes”
He stretched out his hand and handed it to a soldier next to him. The other person walked to the barracks holding the order issued by the cabinet. The general guarding the gate took it over and checked it to confirm that it was genuine.
"Open the door"
The soldiers at the gate of the barracks moved away the horse-rejecting stakes, opened the camp gate, and Cheng Yaojin led Wei Zheng into the barracks.
