Empress Changsun's sudden arrival disrupted the emperor and his son. The emperor and his son had questions about the choice of generals in the battle against Gaochang, but one thing was already very clear, that is, there was absolutely no part in the battle of Gaochang.

The emperor's "good thing" was delayed by Gao Chang, so he deliberately pulled himself into the water and played this trick with his son. Li Chengqian was really convinced.

Since things cannot be done, Li Chengqian will not worry about it. Let’s wait until the court meeting will be held up tomorrow. So what if the candidates are selected properly, letting Rangxian be? Anyway, those old guys are almost crazy in Chang'an City, so it’s time for them to go out and vent.

Just one day later, the emperor issued an order to ask all the ministers to recommend the candidates to fight Gaochang. Seeing that the saint's intention was not on the prince, all of them were eager to try, rushing to recommend people with good friendship as the general manager of the marching. Even some civil officials who were well-versed in martial arts wanted to show their skills.

There is certainly a reason why everyone's emotions are so high. The Tang Dynasty has strong national strength, well-equipped and well-trained army, and has been invincible since the Northern Expedition. No matter what kind of strong enemy it faces, it is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and it is completely cleaned up.

Gaochang is relatively powerful among the Western Regions, but compared with the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is like a child who has not arrived in March. As long as he has some experience in leading troops, anyone who has the ability to take the army can be easily captured.

Military merits are the main basis for official positions and titles. Anyone who can gain some military merits will use the sect to the forefront of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel. Who doesn’t know that Li Shimin, the emperor, likes general the most?

The ministers like Ma Zhou and Dou Kuan who came up after Zhenguan all had some military achievements, lived in eight places, and opened a yamen and built a mansion! It didn't matter if the emperor said this, and the candidates for recommendation suddenly became varied. The three yamen of Shangshu, the Secretariat, and the Ministry of War all had their heads wide when they saw these recommendations.

When Li Chengqian, who was reviewing this chapter, heard that Hou Junji and Xie Yingdeng were coming together, couldn't help laughing and said to himself: These two people can't hold on anymore, knowing that they have little hope in the cabinet department, so they came to plead with their own sympathy.

After greeting the two of them, they specially asked Heng to bring two pots of herbal tea. At this time, the two generals were very angry. If they didn't drink some cold drinks, they could not suppress the rising flames in their hearts. Li Chengqian had been struggling in the army for so many years, and he knew the tempers of the generals very much.

When they heard the war, they were tickling from the heart when they saw a war. It was like a grass growing. It was not easy for them to be patient and watch the excitement of the day in the cabinet, so they must calm down first and then talk about serious things.

"Two, the sun is almost gone. You are still coming to the East Palace for the battle of Gaochang! Do you want Gu Ju to recommend you to take charge of the battle?" After putting down the teacup, Li Chengqian smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at the two generals.

Hehe, "Your Highness, you can't hide this thought from Your Highness. Your Highness is right. I and Lu Gong came for this matter. Gaochang is located at the throat of the Western Regions, controlling the Silk Road, and I am kind to come to fight. There are both public and selfish thoughts in this!"

Xie Yingdeng was the first general of the Sixth General of the Zhenguan Dynasty. Now he took over Qin Qiong's official position and became the general of the Left Wu Guard. In the Eastern Palace, he had a higher voice than those of the imperial system of Hou Junji and the people who had the same imperial system as Hou Junji, and the whole system of the throne, so he first opened his mouth to reply.

"Your Highness, you know. Old ministers and others are used to it on horseback. The bench in the yamen is really uncomfortable. After finally encountering war, they think they can go out to fight. Old ministers and Yingdeng will fight, which is much better than the money they recommend!"

Hou Junji is a straightforward person. He doesn't need to pay attention to Li Chengqian's words. He has a lot of opinions about the recommendation of generals to go to war. He wants to go to any cat and dog, and he uses the lives of my Tang army soldiers as a gift for promotion.

The military has always been concerned with seniority. Even if the profits are in front of it, they have to act within their means. A fool like Qian Jiulong wants to rely on the so-called popularity to lead the position of the marching chief. Damn it, the prince kicked him out of the capital back then.

"What? Duke Chao also wants to be in charge?" Li Chengqian asked with a raised brow.

"That's right, the story of Gaochang was so rumored. The court had not decided to lead the army. Many people in the court had a lot of worries. I thought that the Lord Lu was the leader, but in just one day, Your Majesty issued an order to select the general. I was shallow and did not have the open-mindedness and magistrates like the Lord Yi and others, so I came to find Your Majesty with shame."

Xie Yingdeng said nothing wrong. If the prince takes charge, those who are ministers will naturally have to abide by the way of ministers. But since the prince will not go to war this time, why can't he come out to fight? Hou Junji is right. They are much better than that fool!

"Nonsense! He used to be a role in fighting the wind and shaking flags and shouting in the army. If he hadn't had a personal relationship with Emperor Taiwu and participated in the Taiyuan Rebellion, would this Duke be his turn to be his title?

Your Highness, it’s not that the old minister is a villain. This military and national affairs should not be underestimated. Be cautious, otherwise there would be a saying that a general was incompetent to exhaust the three armies!”

Hou Junji was talking about Qian Jiulong, but he really meant it with the point. Li Chengqian also agreed very much. This kind of thing that the little man sold his land and didn't feel sorry for his heart would not appear in the Tang army, otherwise it would be irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers.

"Okay, we should raise the weight of the three armies and throw them into dangerous places. This is the responsibility of the general. You should not be careless or joke. In this way, I will follow your request, with Duke Lu as the head commander and Yingdeng as the deputy commander. This chapter will be sent directly to Xuanzheng Hall today. As long as you pass the court discussion, you two can take office immediately. I wonder what you two think?"

Li Chengqian said this to Xie Yingdeng. No matter what, his qualifications in the Tang army are not comparable to those in Hou Junji, and he is not important in the emperor's mind. He is not the emperor yet, and he cannot put him in front of Hou Junji, so he can only fight for the position of deputy commander!

"Your Highness, Duke Lu is the Yuan Su of the army, and the Minister of War. He is the immediate superior of the minister. I am willing to be the deputy general for him and go to Gaochang to fight, and he will never let down your highness's efforts." Xie Yingdeng, who was skilled in the accident, quickly stood up to save his fortune and replied.

"Your Highness, as long as there is a war, everyone will be the head coach. Lao Chen and Ying Deng have been brothers for decades. What are the main and deputy ones? Let's discuss it! Your Highness, don't worry, Lao Chen promises to defeat Gaochang in one battle and capture Qu Zhisheng alive and present it to the Taimiao!".........
