    "He really said that?" When Changsun Wuji entered the palace, Li Er was reviewing the memorial.  After hearing his reply, Li Er was stunned for a moment.

    "The Duke of Chu seems to have accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart. I have no doubt that when he goes to Longyou, he will kill a sea of ??blood."

    "Yes! The sea of ????blood is overwhelming! You go back first, and this time go to Hebei and bring Dugu Mou with you. Dugu Yanyun is so passionate that no matter what, he must exchange his son for the title of Duke. We can't let anyone say,  I am a heartless person."

    "Promise!" Changsun Wuji responded and walked backwards out of the Tai Chi Hall.

    Li Er feels a little headache. What worries him most now is the lack of people.  Admiral Tiance's mansion is the cornerstone, so there seems to be no shortage of manpower in his group.  But when he actually took charge of the empire, he realized how big this stall really was.

    Datang does not lack talents, but what Li Er lacks is trustworthy talents.  I finally understood why my cousin, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty, wanted to hold the imperial examination.  Most of the officials in this era were recommended by family members.  When drinking water, think about whose bowl you are holding, and whose face you are looking at.  Many times, they represent the power of various clans, rather than the interests of the country, or the interests of the emperor.

    Those imperial examination officials who are from civilian backgrounds will do much better.  Without roots or legs, she could only hug the emperor's thick legs.  It is much easier to use than those recommended by people.

    Two days ago, I found Wen Daya and asked for some students from the academy who were about to graduate.  After spreading to various yamen, the general feedback is that it is very useful.  These people are sensible and diligent. The most rare thing is that their knowledge is better than those who are recommended or passed the imperial examination.

    The chief officers of various departments have already begun to ask Li Er for people.  The students of Lishan Academy were called upon by name, and there were several such memorials on the imperial desk.

    "Erlang! What's going on?" Changsun came out from behind the curtain, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand.  The genes of the Hu people made Li Er and Chang Sun still like to take a sip of this stuff.  Especially after Yunhao creatively developed tea bricks, Li Er had a cup every day.

    "It's not Yunhao's problem! The imperial court can't send out a capable general now, so I'm not worried about letting people like Sheng Yanshi Qiu Shili go to Longyou. After all, my family's financial resources are too thin now. I have no choice but to let him go to Longyou.  Wuji goes and talks to Yunhao. Guess what?"

    "Doesn't he want to go? That's right, the military merit has reached the level of county prince, and there are only county princes after that. He is twenty-one years old this year, and he has mixed seniority, so he can't get the title of county prince. He doesn't want to go up again  Killing on the battlefield is also a reasonable thing." Changsun thoughtfully added a grape to the milk tea and served it to Li Er.

    "Guanyin Maid, you guessed wrong this time. What he wants is a promise from me!" Li Er took a sip of milk tea and closed his eyes.

    "Promise? Could it be that he wants to be the Duke of Jin? This is too soon. He is only twenty-one years old. The imperial court has no title. This is not a good thing. He should know it." Changsun was very puzzled.

    "He told Wuji that it would be fine to let him go to Longyou. But this time, he wants to kill a bloody sea. Of course, I think there is nothing wrong with doing this. But those rotten scholars in the court will definitely not say this.  Their heads are filled with things about virtue, benevolence and enlightenment. If Yunhao does this, he will definitely cause an uproar in the court.

    This time, he wants me to endorse him.  In other words, no matter what happens, I have to take care of it.  "Li Er's head started to hurt again when he thought that he would be overwhelmed by the memorials to impeach Yun Hao.

    "He doesn't seem to be a murderous person, so why would he make such a request?"

    "This is posing a problem for me, that is, telling me. There is a price to pay for using him. If he causes such trouble this time, he will cause even greater trouble next time. And no matter how he causes trouble, in the end  I have to take all the blame.

    "If I really agree to it, how will Qianqiu Shishu rely on me?"  Jie?  Zhou?  A tyrant from the Yan family has been captured. No matter what I do in my life, I will be infamy for eternity.  This guy's tricks are amazing.  "

    "I feel that he has had a tired temper since he was a child. I heard from Yuan'er and Xin'er that in winter, except for going to the toilet, he can actually stay in bed all day long. In these years, for the imperial court and for the Great Tang Dynasty,  It¡¯s really hard work for him to travel westward.¡±

    "Hey! Guanyinbi, you are wrong again. It is true that this boy is tired, but it is definitely wrong to say that he refuses to fight because of fatigue. He is afraid, and he is deliberately fading out of the court.

    At the age of twenty-one, the title of Duke of Chu State was reached.  Among the generals of the former Detachment of Women, his prestige was higher than that of Huainan Wang Shu and Chai Shao.  Guanyin, do you know?  During the Battle of Tongguan,?The total number of people in the original Xun School was only more than 40,000.  At that time, the Third Sister's Women's Army was almost 80,000 strong.

    It can be said that the Detachment of Women is the main force of our Datang military.  The third sister died early, and Uncle Wang of Huainan became old again.  Those generals of the Detachment of Women would naturally fawn over him, the Duke of Chu with the highest title.

    So, after Xuanwu Gate.  That's why he tried his best to reject the title given by me, so he rejected the official position of Minister of War.  This is a person who has friendship and knows how to advance and retreat.  If the power in his hands were any greater, it would endanger the imperial power.  When the time comes, I will have to take heavy action.

    What troubles me is whether he should lead troops to Longyou this time.  He led troops on expeditions and never lost a battle.  If you win, how will I reward you?  Could it be said that the Jin Dynasty really wants to make him a Duke?  He is only twenty-one years old, and with no seal left, I am really worried that one day he will become ambitious and ruin our long-standing friendship.  "Li Er rubbed his temples and said painfully.

    "The imperial court really can't send anyone?" Changsun asked, frowning.

    "Right now, the biggest force in Chang'an City is the Jinwu Guard. The Zuowu Guards and the Right Weiwei! The Jinwu Guards must maintain the security of Chang'an City and cannot be easily moved. The Right Weiwei under Jingde is responsible for defending Chang'an City.  They are stretched thin. The only one who can be mobilized now is Zuo Wuwei. But neither Master Sheng Yan nor Qiu Shili is in charge.

    I went to see Shu Bao yesterday, a fierce general who is as powerful as the wind in the evening.  Now he is wearing furs, so there must be a brazier in such a sky house.  The imperial doctor in the palace said that it was due to excessive bleeding from previous battles.  The resulting deficiency of both qi and blood in the body cannot be cured by just nourishing the body.

    Longyou is making a lot of noise now. If you let people like Youliang become the leader, they will collude with the Turks again.  They will become a serious problem in the future. Taking advantage of the fact that the Turks have just evacuated, it is the best time to destroy them.  If we wait for the victory of the Hebei front line and then transfer a general from Hebei, it will delay the war opportunity.

    Why¡­¡­!  There is no other way, just Yunhao!  I hope this is his last expedition, and I hope he doesn't have any other thoughts.  "Li Er drank up the milk tea in the cup and made up his mind with a long sigh.

    Changsun glanced at Li Er and shook his head helplessly.  He picked up the empty tea bowl and retreated into the curtain.

    Yunhao hates entering Tai Chi Palace now. If possible, he wouldn't even want to enter Chang'an City.  As long as he entered this prosperous capital of the Tang Dynasty, Yunhao could smell all kinds of conspiracies.

    I can¡¯t figure out why the palace gate can¡¯t be poured with a little oil.  Every time you turn it on, it makes a nice "clucking" sound?

    Tai Chi Palace is very desolate in autumn. As soon as the palace door opens, a whirlwind brings dust in.  The eunuch who came to greet Yun Hao suddenly became a native.

    The chamberlains in Taiji Palace have all been replaced. At least none of the chamberlains Yunhao knew before are gone.  The weather in early winter is sunny, but candles still need to be lit in the deep Tai Chi Hall.  Li Er was sitting in the dark palace, his eyes illuminated by the giant butter candle, like two will-o'-the-wisps.  The entire palace was filled with darkness, and it was also eerily quiet.  This scene is enough for a horror movie.

    "Chen Yunhao, I have met Your Majesty!" Yunhao faced Li Er and bowed deeply.  This was a formal summons from Li Er, so Yunhao was dressed in meticulous official uniform.  It's just that the overly young face is very inconsistent with the purple robe and gold belt.

    "Excuse me! I have thought about it, and you still have to go to Longyou. Master Sheng Yan will be your lieutenant general. Qiu Shili will be responsible for the supply of food and fodder. Zuo Wuwei, with 13,000 people, will be your subordinates. How about it?"

    Li Er really thinks highly of himself. Wang Youliang of Changle already has more than 50,000 troops.  In addition to the Qiang people who accompanied the rebellion, there were also the participation of the nine surnames of Zhaowu.  Zuo Wuwei has 13,000 people, facing at least 100,000 powerful enemies who have been entrenched in the northwest for a long time.

    "Did Mr. Zhao tell me about my request?" Changsun Wuji promises that you can just think of it as farts for this kind of thing.  It would be more reliable to finalize the deal with Li Er. Without Li Er's promise, Yunhao would not go to Longyou even if he was killed.  He knew that as long as he went to the northwest, his reputation as a massacrer would be confirmed.

    "That's right! As long as you pacify the northwest, I won't care about your killings. I will block all the voices in the court for you."

    "I have no other requests. I will go on an expedition in seven days." Yun Hao bowed deeply, then walked out backwards.

    We are going out to fight again. At this time, it is much more important to go home and prepare for the war than to talk nonsense with Li Er here.

    There is a lot of work to be done, including packing away a month¡¯s worth of gunpowder production.  You also have to carry those troublesome kerosene. In fact, Yunhao doesn't like using kerosene at all now.  The most important reason is that this thing is really difficult to transport.

    But there is nothing I can do, I have to work overtime to prepare it.  The gunpowder only weighed over a thousand kilograms, but fortunately there was a lot of kerosene, which made Yunhao feel a little relieved.

    "Bring all the kerosene you can, we will have a fierce battle to fight this time."

    "Commander! Are we really going to the northwest?"

    "Yes! This is probably the last time I will lead my troops on an expedition." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Formulation.  The gunpowder only weighed over a thousand kilograms, but fortunately there was a lot of kerosene, which made Yunhao feel a little relieved.
