Li Jiancheng turned around suddenly and said, "Where is the living man?"
Living man walked up to Li Jiancheng and bowed, "I'm here!"
Li Jiancheng said loudly: "Write it down... I have decided to name "Li Zhi" as the emperor's seventh son."
Qi Jilang was a little stunned.
Qi Qilang said: "Your Majesty, is the emperor's seventh son Li Zhi?"
Li Jiancheng nodded, and said solemnly: "That's right, it's Li Zhi, the rule of governing the country and the country, the rule of the world. What I need is not a big victory or two, but Chang'an in the world, great rule in the world!"
As he spoke, Li Jiancheng strode forward with his head held high and his chest held high.
Looking at Li Jiancheng's back, Zheng Guanyin hugged the chubby Emperor Qizi who was spitting out milk bubbles, and murmured: "Xiaoqi, your father gave me a name. From now on, you will be called Li Zhi." !"
In the Hall of Xiande, Li Jiancheng walked up to Danchi step by step, slowly but forcefully.
The officials went to the hall to greet Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng accepted the worship of the officials with a peaceful expression.
Li Jiancheng said indifferently: "My dear friends, I have made a decision regarding the Northern Expedition."
The officials all looked at Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng stood up, looked around the ministers, and said in a clear voice: "I have decided to accept Fang Xuanling's request. Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Li Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Inspection, will be the chief marching officer of Dingxiang Road, and Li Xiaogong, the governor of the state, will be the deputy chief of the marching." , bestow white banners and yellow axes, and lead an army to send troops to Dingxiang to destroy the Turks. I wonder if you have any objections?"
All the ministers responded in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
Li Jiancheng continued: "Ministry of Rites, choose a good day and auspicious day, and I will set up an altar to worship the general!"
At the same time, inside a restaurant in Chang'an.
Lawyer Pei was drunk, leaning on the couch in all directions.
Several descendants of aristocratic families still drink.
A child of a family said: "Do you think this Northern Expedition can capture Jieli? I heard that the Turkic people are too hungry to walk. When the army goes over, it is to arrest people."
Lawyer Pei squinted his eyes and pursed his lips and said, "Do you also believe this kind of words to coax a three-year-old child?"
The children of several aristocratic families put down their wine cups.
"Why, lawyer, do you know the side story? The Ministry of War takes the news seriously, and everyone is asking around now."
Lawyer Pei shook his fan lightly, as if Zhuge Kongming was alive, and said calmly: "From the Sui Daye period to now, several emperors have clamored to exterminate the Turks, whether it is Yang Jian, Yang Guang, or the current Supreme Emperor. Can you win against the Turks? After so many years, they declared that they would destroy the dynasty, but until now, the Turks are still alive and kicking, who do you believe?"
The children of several aristocratic families looked at each other in blank dismay.
A child of a noble family said: "I heard that there was heavy snow in Mobei, and the Turkic people starved to death countless cattle and horses..."
Lawyer Pei tapped the couch with a fan and said, "The common people in Guanzhong went out to beg for food to escape the famine in the past two years. What were the Turkic people doing at that time?"
"Dalang, in your opinion..."
Lawyer Pei sat up straight and said, "Li Jiancheng is aggressive, his life just got better, and he became restless..."
A family member was busy winking at lawyer Pei.
Lawyer Pei said angrily: "What are you afraid of? I'll just call him by his name. What can I do?"
All the family members looked at each other in blank dismay.
Lawyer Pei: "The Turkic people can gather 30 to [-] cavalry casually, and now the army has traveled thousands of miles to Mobei to deliver them to their door. In my opinion, the Tang army will definitely lose in this battle, and they will return after a big defeat."
In the second year of Kaiyuan, the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
In front of the Taiji Hall, a worship platform was set up, and the officials and soldiers of the imperial army stood around.
The drums sounded, and Li Jing, dressed in military uniform, stepped onto the general worship platform and stood beside the table.
Standing behind the case, Li Jiancheng gave Li Jing the white banner and yellow axe, which symbolizes military power.
Li Jing returned the gift, took the white banner and yellow axe, held it in his hands, and walked down to the platform to worship the general.
All the generals waiting under the platform saluted Li Jing in unison.
Li Jing led dozens of generals and came before Li Jiancheng.
The servants brought the farewell wine.
Li Shimin handed the farewell wine to Li Jing, Xue Wanche, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others in turn.
The personal guards led the horses of Li Jing and the others over.
Li Jiancheng picked up a kit from the servant beside him and handed it to Li Jing.
Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "Pharmacist, this is a secret letter from me. If the battle goes well, you don't need to open it; if you have any doubts, just open it, and it will tell you the countermeasures."
Li Jing put the kit in his arms.
"You will live up to me, and I will live up to you! General, this is my obsession!" Li Jiancheng said to Li Jing, "I hope the general will succeed in the first battle. You will live up to me, and I will live up to you. This horoscope is the truth. It is an unprecedented kindness from the court. I hope the general will be careful."
With that said, Li Jiancheng waved his hand.
A row of eunuchs carried trays, and in the trays were iron scrolls of alchemy scripts that had already been written.
Li Jiancheng looked at the generals and said: "I swear here that the Great Tang has no ministers who have made great achievements, but only incompetent kings. Jian Jiancheng swears here that the Great Tang and all the generals will be prosperous and all will be prosperous."
Speaking of this, the soldiers present were immediately grateful.
Any general, especially a general like Li Jing who is about to reach the peak of his meritorious service, they are worried about what will happen to them.
"The auspicious time has come, let's swear to the teacher and sacrifice the flag..."
……
Li Jing was standing on the top of the hill overlooking the marching troops below.
Du Fuwei, dressed in military uniform, stood beside Li Jing and said with a smile, "Pharmacist, don't lose the kit."
Li Jing took out the kit, looked left and right.
Du Fuwei shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has led troops to war for so many years, yet he still plays such a child's game as tricks and tricks. The front and rear are separated by thousands of miles. The situation of the war is changing rapidly, and the emperor is not a god. How can he think of countermeasures in advance? This is purely a joke..."
Li Jing smiled, said nothing, and stuffed the kit into his bosom.
