Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Goguryeo was really getting too arrogant. It bullied a few small countries and gained confidence and a sense of superiority.

Now, even the ferocious tiger of the Tang Dynasty is not taken seriously.

Du He nodded secretly: "Now we can do whatever we want in Goguryeo."

If Goguryeo had not refused to pay tribute, the army's expedition to Goguryeo would have been restricted.

After all, when people in this era fought wars, they were both responsible and independent.

They both clearly wanted to kill each other, but were afraid of the bad comments from the people and were hesitant to act.

Whenever the army attacked the civilians of the enemy country or massacred the enemy soldiers, they would be impeached by a group of censors when they returned.

Now Li Shimin's words are equivalent to loosening the tight reins on the army.

The Shangshu Langzhong continued, "Now we are going to proceed to the last item of the grand court meeting. Please invite the Grand Historian Yuan Tiangang to report on the astronomical phenomena!"

Then an ordinary-looking old man walked lightly to the center of the hall.

Yuan Tiangang said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I recently observed the sky and saw the Venus twinkling by!"

"The appearance of the Venus Taibai is a warning from the gods. I'm afraid this year will bring great disaster!"

After hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, all the court officials turned their attention to Li Chengqian.

The prince will set out next month to attack Goguryeo.

Now that Venus Taibai has appeared, does it mean that something will go wrong in this battle for the prince?

Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the appearance of the Venus Taibai is an ominous sign. Why not let the Crown Prince stay in Chang'an?"

"The minister reconsiders."

Zhangsun Wuji, Li Jing, Gao Shilian, Hou Junji and others all stood up and agreed.

Yuan Tiangang is no ordinary man, his physiognomy has reached the pinnacle.

At the end of the Daye period, he read the fortunes of Du Yan, Wang Gui, Wei Ting and Dou Gui, and everything he said came true later.

Later, he also read the fortunes of Cen Wenben, Zhang Xingcheng, Ma Zhou and others, and all his predictions were accurate.

You should know that when Yuan Tiangang read Ma Zhou's face, Ma Zhou was still a poor scholar.

Moreover, he was the child of an ordinary poor peasant and had no family background to support him.

At that time, Yuan Tiangang said to Ma Zhou: "You were originally an immortal official who came down to earth. You were destined to be very successful in the second half of your life, but you are not blessed to enjoy it. You will not live long."

I have to say that this old man Yuan Tiangang’s calculations are very accurate.

Ma Zhou served as the Minister of the Secretariat for several years before he died of illness at the age of less than 50.

After hearing the words of the civil and military officials, Li Shimin's expression became particularly serious.

At this time, Wei Ting stood up.

He said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Taibai Jinxing mentioned by Grand Historian Yuan Tiangang is just a flash."

"Therefore, I believe that conquering Goguryeo will only cause a little danger, but it will soon turn out well."

"When two countries go to war, how can there be no danger?"

"Besides, the army is about to go out to fight. Changing the commander at the last minute will affect the morale of the soldiers. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Wei Ting's remarks were not a response to ordinary court officials, but to a group of ministers including Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji.

It has to be said that he risked his life to realize the King of Wei's plan.

Based on the plan of the Prince of Wei's Palace, they must encourage the prince to go to war no matter what!

Cui Renshi then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, at the grand court meeting in the 16th year of Zhenguan, the Grand Historian said that in March of the 17th year of Zhenguan, a great talent would appear in the world."

"But after searching for so long, we still haven't found this great talent, have we?"

"I think the Grand Historian can make mistakes sometimes."

When Cui Renshi talked about the emergence of great talents, Li Shimin and a group of ministers in the court couldn't help but turn their eyes to Du He who was watching the fun.

Who says there are no great talents in this world?

Isn't it considered a great talent that Du He, the God of Literature, has come down to earth?

At this moment, Yuan Tiangang suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the place where Taibai Jinxing appeared is in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, all the court officials murmured in their hearts.

"The northeast direction of the Tang Dynasty, doesn't it refer to the Liaodong battlefield?"

Just as the court officials were guessing what Yuan Tiangang meant, Du Chuke stood up and spoke excitedly.

"Your Majesty, according to the historian's inference, the omen of great misfortune should appear in Goguryeo!"

The court officials started discussing.

"What Du Shangshu said makes sense!"

"Goguryeo will surely be slaughtered and blood will flow like a river if it faces the attack of our Tang army. It is reasonable that such a disaster will happen in Goguryeo."

"As expected of you, Grand Historian!"

Seeing a large group of people praising Yuan Tiangang, an official behind Du He muttered in a low voice.

"Why don't you explain the inference made by the Grand Historian?"

"He even wants me to guess what he meant by that. He really wants to show off."

Hearing the muttering behind him, Du He smiled and shook his head gently.

The reason why fortune tellers like Yuan Tiangang are mysterious is that they speak vaguely and generally, leaving room for people to guess and imagine.

When the results come out, people will remember what the fortune teller said and interpret them in various ways.

If there is a sentence or a key word related to the fortune telling, the person being fortune-teller will suddenly understand.

I shouted in my heart: "Yuan Tiangang is really an unpredictable master of physiognomy!"

By the time word of mouth spreads, the story will become more and more far-fetched and outrageous.

Li Shimin calmed down a little, turned around and asked Li Chengqian with a serious face.

"Prince, what are you thinking?"

Li Chengqian first glanced at Du He, then stood up and said in a firm tone.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the battlefield is indeed dangerous, but I will not retreat!"

"I will definitely help my father to completely conquer Goguryeo and expand the territory of our Tang Dynasty!"

"If I die on the battlefield, bury me on the Liaodong battlefield. I will die watching Goguryeo being destroyed by our mighty army!"

What the hell!

The prince has made great progress!

All the ministers in the court, including Du He, were shocked by Li Chengqian's passionate words.

Zhang Sun Wuji was the first to stand up and clapped his hands, saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is so righteous!"

Then the court officials stood up one after another and bowed to Li Chengqian.

"The prince is mighty!"

Feeling the congratulations from all the civil and military officials in the court, Li Chengqian's face was full of enjoyment.

That's what it feels like!

He could no longer remember how many years had passed since he was sincerely congratulated by a minister.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, his wise eyes fixed on Li Chengqian.

"The prince is acting more and more like a qualified monarch!"

Li Shimin gave Li Chengqian a very high evaluation in his heart.

With a smile on his face, he said in a loud voice: "The troops going out will remain the same, and the prince will still lead the army!"

Since Li Shimin had made the decision, the ministers did not continue to argue, but shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Anyway, Your Majesty has many sons, so if Li Chengqian dies, there are still plenty of people to take his place.

Besides, the prince is so eager to go to war that they cannot be ignorant. Saying too much will only lead to trouble.

Yuan Tiangang only said that Taibai Jinxing appeared at this point and then retreated.

Du He complained in his heart: "It's so easy to be the Grand Historian!"

Just guessing any astronomical phenomenon means that 30% of the government affairs for the year will be completed.

The Shangshu Langzhong stood up and said in a loud voice: "The grand court ceremony is over. Please congratulate us!"

All the civil and military officials stood up again and bowed to Li Shimin.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live Your Majesty!"
