Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The officials shouted for more than ten times before they slowly stopped at Li Chengqian's wave of his hand.

Li Chengqian's eyes swept across the civil and military officials. He looked at Zhangsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie and others with disdain, and then spoke loudly.

"My dear ministers, you must all learn from Duke Han's determination to serve his country until his death!"

"We must have the faith to defeat all alien races!"

"This is a good official of the Tang Dynasty!"

The faces of all the civil and military officials tightened slightly. They all stood up holding their tablets and shouted in unison.

"The minister obeys the order!"

A group of generals looked at Du He's profile, and their faces all showed anticipation.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne. If he can follow the Duke of Korea to conquer Tubo and the Indian countries, he will definitely be promoted after returning to the court.

Holding an important position in the prince's new dynasty is a serious matter.

Li Chengqian asked loudly, "My dear ministers, do you have anything important to report?"

After dozens of breaths, no one stood up to play.

Li Chengqian stood up and ordered, "Today's court meeting ends here. Dismiss!"

He strode out of the Taiji Hall amid the respectful farewells of civil and military officials.

Stunned for a moment.

Under the astonished gaze of the civil officials, more than ten generals in purple robes quickly surrounded Du He.

Cheng Yaojin: "Brother Du, I am your sworn brother, you must choose me as your brother!"

Hou Junji: "Nephew Du, we are as close as brothers, you know!"

Li Ji: "Duke Hanguo, please take me with you. I will definitely provide you with great assistance!"

Xue Wanche: "Duke Han Guo, you may not know this, but I have always admired you..."

"..."

When the civil officials heard what these military generals said, they all gave them contemptuous looks.

Old and unrefined!

He is already old, but he still calls the young Korean man his brother. He has no shame at all.

Pooh!

Du He smiled and said, "Generals, don't worry. We are sending out 30 troops for this battle, and we will definitely bring a large number of generals with us."

"But now the imperial court is promoting various major national policies, and someone needs to take charge of the overall situation."

He said this to Li Ji and Hou Junji.

As the Shangshu's left and right ministers, these two men certainly cannot all go to the battlefield. At least one of them must be left behind.

Li Ji smiled and said, "Duke Hanguo, I can give full responsibility for the government affairs of the Shangshu Zuo Province to Shangshu Zuo Cheng Du Gou."

"I have great confidence in Du Zuocheng's abilities!"

When he said the last sentence, he looked at Hou Junji with pride.

this...

Hou Junji's expression paused slightly.

He also said: "Nephew Du, I can also hand over the affairs of the Shangshu You Province to..."

Hou Junji was stunned in the middle of his words. He thought of Shangshu Youcheng Yuwen Jie, and his right eyelid began to twitch uncontrollably.

How could the Shangshu You Province be handed over to such a traitor and rebel?

Hey!

Why isn’t Du Gou in the Shangshu Yousheng Department?

Thinking that Li Ji might be selected, Hou Junji's mood suddenly became extremely heavy.

Ha ha!

These old guys are quite cunning.

Du He said loudly, "I will go back and draft the generals. Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince confirms that they are correct, I will summon you to the East Palace for a meeting."

"Don't be discouraged if you're not chosen. There are still hundreds of countries in the Western Regions waiting for you to conquer."

Du He bowed to them and then strode out of the Taiji Hall.

After returning to the Ministry of Revenue.

Du He called Liu Xiangdao, the Minister of Revenue, into his office and ordered him, "Before Lu Chengqing returns to Chang'an, you will be fully responsible for all the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue."

"I will also send someone to Zhaozhou later to transfer Lu Chengqing back."

The Ministry of Revenue currently has too many things to be responsible for, and it will be even busier when the war breaks out. Liu Xiangdao alone is simply unable to handle it.

It took the experienced minister Lu Chengqing to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue's affairs during the months when he was away from Chang'an.

Liu Xiangdao bowed respectfully and said, "I obey your command!"

Du He waved his hand, signaling him to go down and handle government affairs.

Sit still for a moment.

Du He took out a piece of rice paper and began to think about the appointment of the Grand Marshal, the Deputy Grand Marshal, and the Grand Marshal.

It is easy to select ordinary generals, but it is not easy to select the commander-in-chief of the army.

It's approaching noon.

Du He took the list of generals and went to the Eastern Palace to discuss with Li Chengqian.

Although Li Shimin and Li Chengqian gave him full responsibility, the Crown Prince Li Chengqian still had to review the appointments of the generals before they were announced.

The respect that should be given to Li Chengqian must not be less.

Although the lazy guy trusted him very much, he was also a very vain person and had to satisfy Li Chengqian's vanity.

Mingde Hall.

Li Chengqian looked at the list of generals and muttered, "The generals in charge of the army are Li Ji, Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai, Cheng Yaojin, and Xue Wanche."

"Not bad!"

"It coincides with what I was thinking!"

A loyal person must be left to preside over the Secretariat, and Hou Junji is the most suitable candidate.

If he were sent out as well, the logistics supply of the two armies would probably be disrupted.

In addition, Hou Junji is both civil and military. If any vassal king wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, Hou Junji can also lead a large army to quell the rebellion.

Look down.

Li Chengqian then read out the names of the deputy chief eunuchs: Niu Jinda, Zhang Shigui, Cheng Wuting, Luo Tong, Xue Wanbei, Pei Xingjian, and Gao Kan.

"very good!"

Except for three veteran generals, the other seven of these ten deputy general managers are generals trained by the Eastern Palace.

Most of the subsequent marching commanders were younger generals, such as Fang Yiai, Li Dejian, Liu Rengui, Dai Zhide, Cheng Huailiang, Yuchi Huan and others.

Even foreign generals such as Zhishisili, Qibi Heli, and Ashina Mishe were all taken with them.

After reading.

Li Chengqian said with emotion: "This battle is full of elite troops!"

After expressing my feelings.

Li Chengqian pointed outside the hall and said with a grin, "Du He, you're not taking Qin Huaidao with you on the expedition?"

"The little guy must have some opinions."

Since returning from the conquests of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla, Qin Huaidao has been responsible for guarding his safety and has never had the opportunity to fight.

If I don't take him there this time, that guy will probably be depressed to death.

outside the hall.

Qin Huaidao's brows jumped, and then he pricked up his ears to listen.

More than ten breaths passed.

Du He's voice came slowly: "Your Highness, I want Qin Huaidao to be the commander of my personal guards. Is that okay with you?"

"it is good!"

Hearing the prince's answer without hesitation, Qin Huaidao clenched his fists excitedly.

After waiting for so long, I finally waited until today. After dreaming for so long, I finally realized my dream...

After many years, I can finally fight again!

In the main hall.

Du He bowed and said, "Your Highness, I suggest you host a banquet and invite all the military commanders, deputy commanders, and general managers to the East Palace for a meal."

"Decide on the battle arrangements and the time of departure!"

Now, there is only half a month left before the expedition, and within this half month, the army needs to be transferred to the border of Tubo in advance.

Time is running out and we must act every minute.

Li Chengqian immediately ordered, "Lai Ji, invite all the generals on the list to the East Palace for a banquet!"
