"Well, what Qingquan said makes sense, it's better for us to take the initiative to beat them than for them to come and beat us, I agree with this, but there is no problem with what Wei Aiqing said, as the so-called division is famous, although we are going to capture prisoners, but we must also make the division famous, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the people of our Tang Dynasty." Li Er nodded and said.

Li Er, as a person who cherishes his feathers so much, naturally can't do this kind of thing, even if the reason he finds is nonsense, then Li Er is looking for one.

"Find a reason, this minister is the best, the emperor only needs to send a decree to the emperor of Goguryeo, saying that Goguryeo, as a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, has not paid tribute for a long time, and now the Tang Dynasty needs manpower to build infrastructure, let them take people out, if they don't take people out, it is disrespectful to Datang, let them do it themselves." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

As long as this request is put up a little too much, Zhang Nan does not believe that the Goguryeo people will agree to this request, as long as he does not agree, it will be an excuse for the Tang Dynasty to send troops.

After listening to Zhang Nan's strategy, Li Er also nodded, this seemed to be the best way, so Li Er also decided to use such a plan after consulting the courtiers, anyway, Li Er had already made up his mind to fight Goguryeo, so Li Er was not afraid of the Goguryeo people seeing it.

After most of the things were settled, Li Er's request to drive the expedition was strongly opposed by the courtiers, except for a few generals who fought on the battlefield with Li Er, almost all the ministers were against Li Er's personal expedition.

"Your Majesty, this attack on Goguryeo is already the most that the ministers can do, the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person this time, and the ministers must stop the emperor and can't let the emperor go." Wei Zheng looked at Li Er and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, of course Li Er didn't expect Wei Zheng to agree, but directly skipped Wei Zheng, wanting to get a little support from the eldest grandson Wuji.

But I didn't expect that even the eldest grandson Wuji, who had always supported Li Er in the past, was opposed at this time.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also think that it is inappropriate for the emperor to drive the expedition in person, the sword has no eyes on this battlefield, the emperor still sends my generals of the Tang Dynasty, I believe that the generals of my Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to bring back good news." The eldest grandson Wuji is also a positive color path.

In public and private, the eldest grandson Wuji did not want Li Er to go to the royal conquest.

The eldest grandson Wuji was also deflated here, Li Er immediately set his eyes on Zhang Nan, hoping that Zhang Nan could stand up and say a few words for himself, but Zhang Nan didn't look at Li Er at all, Li Er sat on the dragon chair and even stared out of his eyes, Zhang Nan was also unmoved, and he didn't see it.

"Father, there is a way to get the best of both worlds, I don't know if my father wants to hear it?" At this time, Li Chengqian jumped out and said, Li Eryi was relieved when he saw that his son had stood up and spoke for him, and he felt that this son was not raised in vain.

"Cheng Qian, if you have anything to say, you have a meritorious service in the past few days, and I will allow you to say it, it doesn't hurt to say it wrong." Li Er said generously.

Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this, and then hurriedly said: "Father, since this expedition to Goguryeo is so important, and my father has the demeanor of wanting to fight my Tang Dynasty's king's army, why don't you let your sons do it for you?" Erchen promised that not only did he bring back the prisoners for his father, but as long as his father was willing, Erchen could even take back the Liaodong and dedicate it to his father. ”

The current Li Chengqian is not the Li Chengqian of the past, as early as when Li Er said that he wanted to fight Goguryeo, Li Chengqian began to think in his heart how to move his father and emperor to give him a chance to go on the expedition.

Since participating in the war against the Turks, Li Chengqian can be said to have regarded himself as a soldier completely, although his first identity is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Chengqian still prefers his military identity.

Li Er was still smiling and listening to Li Chengqian's speech at first, but when Li Chengqian said the last, Li Er's face darkened.

After a long time, Bai was moved, it turned out that this kid was going to the battlefield for himself. Li Er thought in his heart with a dark face, but Li Chengqian didn't seem to see that Li Er's complexion had changed, but continued.

"Father, you better wait in Chang'an City, Erchen guarantees to win, such a rough job as fighting a war should be left to a young man like Erchen to do, as long as Father and Emperor sit firmly in Chang'an City, there will naturally be a large number of Goguryeo captives sent back."

Li Er's face became darker and darker the more he listened, what is such rough work as fighting a war or leave it to a young man, is he very old? Li Er thought silently in his heart.

Although Li Er's age was in ancient times, in the Tang Dynasty, he had reached the age where he could call himself an old man, but Li Er still thought that he was still the king of Qin who could fight well.

After all, if you want to fight in the future, you will have to go to sea to fight, and Li Er really has no bottom about naval warfare, so Li Er wants to use this expedition to Goguryeo to make a perfect end to his conquest career.

But he didn't expect that no one supported him, the most hateful thing was his son, he actually said that he was old, Li Er thought of this, and he didn't get angry.

"Presumptuous, Li Chengqian!" As soon as Li Er drank this, he was immediately frightened by Li Chengqian, and hurriedly began to think that it was the words just now that made the old man of his family unhappy.

"I'm not old yet, my mind has been decided, this expedition to Goguryeo, I will drive the expedition in person, you Aiqing don't need to persuade again, retreat from the court, as for the details of this expedition, I will decide on the candidate at that time, you Aiqing just need to wait for my notice." Retreat, Qingquan, you follow me. ”

After Li Er finished speaking, he walked down from the dragon chair with a black face, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Er was very unhappy.

However, the things that made Li Er unhappy had just begun, and the things that made Li Er even more unhappy were still to come.

After leaving the court, Li Er left Zhang Nan to have lunch in the palace, which was regarded as a reward for Zhang Nan's performance in Qiongzhou, and then Li Er let Zhang Nan go back and asked Zhang Nan to write an excerpt on how to ask Goguryeo dignitaries.

But what he didn't expect was that after a night of hard thinking and meditation, Zhang Nan's "excessive request" was passed on to King Rongliu of Goguryeo after nearly a month, and King Rongliu actually agreed.

And he promised to hand over the person to Datang within three months, which made Zhang Nan and Li Er feel like they had punched the cotton.
