After taking another sip of wine, Xue Wanche pointed at Fang Jun and said: "Even if the family can't give you more help, don't you still have such a good brother? He has a navy and a right army under his command.
Wei, is it not easy to arrange for you guys? After the spring, the Eastern Expedition is about to begin. This may very well be the last and biggest war of the Tang Dynasty. If you want to risk your life to fight for a future, rather than lying at home waiting for charity from your elders
, then pick up swords and guns, mount war horses, and go to the land of Liaodong to fight. If you die, you will be wrapped in horse leather and killed. If you don't die, it will be the destruction of the country. Change your title, get an official position, and wait for nothing!"
Qin Yingdao poured him a glass of wine and sighed: "Uncle, I don't know. It is Erlang who has been friends with us since childhood, but it is not appropriate for us to do this. Otherwise, if he is from the Youtun Guards or the Royal Navy,
Among them, they are all Erlang’s buddies, and I’m afraid they will cause criticism..."
Is this more than criticism?
It can literally kill someone!
The army is the emperor's army. If you place a large number of cronies and close friends in the army, the army will be united. But if you want to rebel, wouldn't it be the same as a hundred people responding to your call?
This is a taboo for military officers!
Xue Wanche finished two glasses of wine, his face flushed, he nodded and said, "I was negligent, Yingdao was very worried."
Li Siwen on the side sighed: "Although we have the heart to serve the country, we have no way to serve the country. Now we are scattered among the sixteen guards. Chu Bi wants to stay in the imperial city. We have no ambition but to be a soldier."
City gate officials, but even if the Eastern Expedition is a national war, it is impossible for all the sixteen guards to go to Liaodong to conquer Goguryeo... Our family is unwilling to mobilize connections and transfer positions for us, so we can only watch this unparalleled event.
His merits fell into the hands of others, alas!"
"What do you mean by that? The great power of the Tang Dynasty in all parts of the world is due to your passionate ambition! How can there be no way to serve the country? Don't worry, the Royal Navy and Youtun Guards naturally want to avoid suspicion and cannot go.
, but don’t you still have me as the Youwu Guard? Let Erlang draft a transfer order at the Ministry of War to transfer all of you to the Youwu Guard, and I’ll just accept it!”
"Does uncle mean what he said?"
"What a joke! I, Xue Wanche, have always made the most promises in his life. He spits out every word and makes it hard to follow up. How has he ever broken his word? You guys treat me with contempt like this. It is simply unforgivable. Come and come, it's all my fault."
I will punish myself with three drinks, otherwise I will never give up!"
Qin Yingdao immediately pushed the singer aside, picked up the wine jar, poured himself a full glass, and said: "It's our fault. Uncle, you have a broad mind. My nephew has a drink for you!" After that, he poured the glass into his mouth.
He drank the wine in one gulp, then poured two more glasses and drank it down without even frowning.
Xue Wanche was overjoyed: "What a good man! A man must be so clean and neat in everything he does. My uncle will accompany you for three drinks!"
Fang Jun on the side personally poured wine for him, and he drank three glasses of wine in a flash.
Li Siwen also raised his wine glass and said, "I realize my mistake. Tomorrow my nephew will go to Youwuwei to report, and from then on he will hang out with you, uncle!"
"And me! Today, my uncle will be the coach tomorrow. My nephew will do it first as a courtesy!"
"I also want to toast uncle..."
Xue Wanche couldn't help being happy. He loved these happy young people the most. They were both young and energetic, and full of enterprising spirit. He drank three cups on the left and three on the right. He drank more than ten cups in succession. His eyes were dizzy and his mind was spinning.
But it became clearer than expected.
"Mom! Are you guys setting a trap for me?"
Xue Wanche stared at the cow's eyes, his anger rising!
Fang Jun wants to avoid suspicion, doesn't he, Xue Wanche, need it?
When it comes to closeness and origin, he needs to avoid suspicion more than Fang Jun! Back then, he fought sword to gun with His Majesty Li Er, and almost brought down the Prince of Qin's palace. Later, he had no choice but to escape to Zhongnan Mountain. He was also so tough.
very!
He himself had the motive of rebellion, but now he has transferred all these boys to his right guard. What do you want the emperor to think?
Is it a bad intention to win over factions?
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "How can the general speak like this? We brothers admire the bravery of the general and are willing to be driven by you, just to follow you and build a career. How dare you have any other thoughts? You are worrying too much.
Got it!"
"fart!"
Xue Wanche was not easy to fool, and said loudly: "With so many of you coming to the Youwu Guard, do you really think that all the imperial officials are blind? These scholars are not successful enough but are easy to fail. If they get together and impeach you, Your Majesty
When I get angry, I can’t bear to eat and walk around!”
Fang Jun said resolutely: "Absolutely not! Your Majesty has been a saint for eternity, and his candle has shone for thousands of miles. How could he not know that the general's move was to protect my brother's desire to serve the country? Furthermore, if the general had really evil intentions, it would be too late to cover it up.
How can it be so grand?"
"Eh? That seems to make sense..." Xue Wanche scratched his head.
Qin Yingdao was the most cunning and treacherous, not even half of his father's heroic spirit: "That's it, think about it, even if you have evil intentions, what kind of people are we? Even if those imperial officials tell the truth,
Your Majesty will not believe that we will act disobediently, right? Normally we will naturally obey your orders, but when it comes to the country, we will never agree... So, uncle, don't worry."
Xue Wanche nodded and said, "That's true."
If these boys gathered under Fang Jun's command, with their years of friendship, they would really have evil intentions. But under his own command, how could he instruct them to rebel? Look at these people standing behind him.
, Duke Yi of Qin Qiong, Duke Li Ji of England, Duke Qu Tutong of Jiang, Duke Cheng Yaojin of Lu... They are all loyal and unyielding to His Majesty!
Xue Wanche felt it made sense. Besides, his eldest nephews trusted him, looked up to him, and believed that they could be invincible and make great achievements by following him. How could he cold-blooded his eldest nephews just because of some worries?
Then Xue Laosi’s reputation for righteousness and generosity will be ruined!
"In this case, I will wait for the order from the Ministry of War. I will make arrangements for all my nephews and nephews at that time. Let's fight on the battlefield together and make achievements!"
Everyone was overjoyed and raised their glasses to express their gratitude, pouring free flattery and flowers out like a tide.
Xue Wanche was so flattered by the compliments that he felt more and more that his loyalty came first. Otherwise, how could these usually domineering and arrogant dandies be so obedient? He hugged him from left to right, leaned against the red and green, drank glass after glass of wine, and felt as if he was
Reaching the pinnacle of life all of a sudden, I don’t know what the world is like...
After sending the drunken Xue Wanche back to the house, and driving out all the singers and courtiers, Fang Jun glared at Li Siwen and Qin Yingdao and scolded: "You are the only ones who think so fast, it seems that you
Smart, right?”
The two of them laughed evilly, and Qin Yingdao said proudly: "My family didn't arrange a transfer order for me, and Erlang didn't dare to accept us in order to avoid suspicion. Now that we have found a way out for ourselves, Erlang shouldn't even get a transfer order."
Don’t you dare to sign it?”
For the royal nobles and noble families, this Eastern Expedition was an unprecedented feast of meritorious service. The former Sui Dynasty collapsed in Liaodong. No one thought that the Sui army was incapable of fighting, but that it was affected by domestic turmoil.
Only then did the success fall short. But now the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, commanding the power of the world. The country is stable, the government is smooth, the army is well-equipped, and Goguryeo is only in a corner of Liaodong. How can it be the opponent of the Tang Dynasty?
All it takes is for the Tang army to suppress the territory, and it will be invincible and invincible. Liaodong will be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty without any effort!
Victory means military exploits!
Regardless of the royal family or the nobles of the family, there is no fool, and there are many capable people with far-sightedness. Everyone knows that once Goguryeo is wiped out, there will be no national war of this scale within a hundred years. By then,
Wu Xun will become extremely precious!
The longer the world is at peace, the more valuable military honors are. How can those official positions obtained by relying on imperial examinations compare to the noble titles obtained through bloodshed for the expansion of the empire's territory?
The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo was the last feast of military honors in the empire!
Who doesn’t want a piece of that pie?
However, Goguryeo was a small country with few people, and any place where the Tang Dynasty's majestic armies stepped on it would be crushed to pieces. If the battle went too smoothly, the achievements would naturally be pitiful. Under such circumstances, each household actually already had a kind of
A secret understanding - first of all, make sure that your legal heir gets enough merit in this feast!
As a result, those concubines and second sons had to stand aside and were unable to participate in this feast.
For those concubines and second sons who still have some ambitions, they naturally feel dissatisfied!
Just because you were born so early, you, the eldest sons, have determined the inheritance rights of the family. You will inherit all the titles and wealth of the family. Now you are not even giving us a chance to fight for it ourselves?
However, the situation is like this. If the family doesn't even provide a little support, what can they do?
Fortunately, Li Siwen and others met Xue Wanche today, who was stubborn, and naturally they had the crooked idea of saving the country. Even if they put Xue Wanche in danger, they couldn't care less...,
It's just pity Xue Wanche, he listened to the nonsense of these gangsters and was dug into a hole and buried without even knowing it.
