Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Not only are there many soldiers, but also excellent equipment.

It also controls the entire Turkic Grassland, the seven cities in western Liaoning, and thirteen prefectures including Youzhou.

This is also the biggest reliance behind Li Qiu.

If everyone wants to touch Li Qiu, they must be scruples.

Noble families such as the Cui family, even if they are hostile to Li Qiu in their hearts.

But they dare not bring it to the surface.

This is the confidence that Li Qiu and Furongyuan stand up for.

Later, during the drinking process, Li Qiu also told everyone about his idea of ​​recommending Cheng Mingzhen to His Majesty as Minister of the Ministry of War.

Hearing this, everyone echoed and expressed their support.

Wei Ting said at this time: "Back then, Cheng Mingzhen was quite talented at Prince Yin's side."

"The ability to govern the party has been proven."

"The ability in terms of military strategy is even more prominent."

"It's just that, because of that incident, he has been suppressed all these years."

"Without you, he can only be the governor of Xiaozhou for the rest of his life in a remote place."

Wei Zheng also sighed at this moment and said: "It would be a pity if a real talent like Cheng Mingzhen could not be used by the court."

"Whether it is from the perspective of recommending talents for His Majesty and the court."

"It's still the old relationship with the courtiers of the Eastern Palace. We should all try our best to help you."

"But Li Qiu, you have to be prepared."

"This is such a critical position for the Minister of War."

"If you recommend Cheng Mingzhen, the resistance you will encounter will never be too small."

Hearing their instructions, Li Qiu also nodded in agreement.

Regarding Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Wei Ting, Li Qiu had no doubts in his heart.

What they really want to do, they will definitely do their best to help themselves.

……

The next day, Li Qiu and the Ministry of War directly delivered a document to Li Shimin.

Ask Feng Li to lead the army to fight against the Wuzhou Liaomin rebellion.

At the same time, let Jingzhou, Yuezhou, and Fuzhou state soldiers, led by Xi Junmai, rush to aid Bazhou and Junzhou.

To quell the Liaomin rebellion.

In addition, Li Daozong, who had just suppressed the rebellion of Liaomin in Lingzhou, happened to go west.

Crusade against the Dangxiang clan who caused rebellion in Diezhou.

As for the riots in Guizhou, Zhang Baode, the governor of Guizhou, suppressed them on his own.

If there is an abnormal situation, the Ministry of War and the imperial court can also directly provide assistance.

I saw the memorial handed in by Li Qiu and the Ministry of War.

Li Shimin looked at and nodded.

"For the selection and arrangement of Feng Li, Li Daozong, and Zhang Baode."

"I think it's more secure."

"And this gentleman, if I remember correctly, is only sixteen or seventeen years old?"

"You're still Li Qiu's disciple?"

"This land of Jingxiang has always been an important place for military strategists."

"Jingzhou, Yuezhou, and Fuzhou have more than [-] state troops."

"It's a good arrangement for this army to go south to suppress the rebellion."

"But it's appropriate for this gentleman to take on such an important position at such an age?"

Chapter 793 Little Jiujiu and the Old Fox

Li Qiu bowed very calmly at this time and said, "Report to Your Majesty."

"This gentleman buys, but he is the eldest disciple of the minister in Youzhou Academy."

"I used to follow Luo Kexin to learn the Luo family's marksmanship and military strategy."

"In Youzhou's war with Turks and Goguryeo, they also made many achievements."

"In Youzhou Academy, there are all hard-working children."

"Most of their parents and relatives were sacrificed or died at the hands of the Turks."

"Defending the family, defending the country, killing all enemies, and avenging their relatives is their greatest wish in this life."

"This poor child has long been in charge of the family."

"In today's Youzhou Army, there are many soldiers of Xi Junmai's age, or even younger."

"If you send him to crusade against the countries in the Western Regions, there is still something wrong."

"But it would be quite appropriate to send him to suppress the rebels."

"I think back then, when I was his age, I had already fought and killed the Turkic army on the battlefield."

Hearing Li Qiu's words, Li Shimin also sighed softly.

"it is good!"

"There is an old saying that since ancient times, heroes have produced young men."

"I didn't expect Li Qiu that the few apprentices you are leading now have all followed in your footsteps and grown to the point where they are today."

"I stabbed to death the Turkic general Wang Xuance with a carbine on the grassland, and I still have a fresh memory."

"I didn't expect another Xi Jun to buy now."

"However, you still need to send an experienced lieutenant to follow this matter."

"in case."

"When he suppresses the Liao people this time and returns triumphantly, I will definitely give him another reward."

……

Just at the same time when the matter of the rioting Liaomin was settled.

With Li Qiu's promise, Su Xu's appointment as a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs has also been decided.

There should be no further delay in the rest of the matter of recommending Cheng Mingzhen as Minister of the Ministry of War.

When the memorial was officially handed in to Li Shimin, Li Qiu and Luo Kexin came to visit Changsun Wuji's mansion together.

One is to discuss the matter of Cheng Mingzhen.

If he can get the support of Changsun Wuji, the probability of success in this matter will be even greater.

Furthermore, Luo Kexin had already mentioned it several times.

I want to come here to visit Princess Youle, whom I haven't seen for a long time.

Since the last assassination in Furong Garden, the assassin has never been seen.

The palace and Changsun Wuji's residence also attached great importance to Princess Youle's protection.

In addition, from before the New Year's Eve to the present, the Furong Garden and the Peking Palace are in full swing.

So Princess Youle has not been to play for some time.

We all miss it too.

After meeting and exchanging warm greetings for a while.

Changsun Wuji and Li Qiu went to the study to discuss business.

Princess Youle took Luo Kexin to her pond courtyard to have a heart-to-heart talk.

As the first minister of Zhenguan, Changsun Wuji was extremely favored by Li Shimin.

The scenery inside the house is also quite good.

In the study, Changsun Wuji said to Li Qiu with a smile: "Li Qiu, it's rare to have a day off today, why come to me so leisurely."

"There are a lot of things to do at the beginning of this year."

"Well, are you busy?"

Li Qiu is too familiar with Changsun Wuji.

So without detours, he said directly: "Master Changsun, I will tell you the truth."

"The government affairs of Shangshu Province, other things are fine."

"The affairs of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites are not bad."

"But only this military department is really understaffed and stretched."

"Before, I recommended Guo Fushan to His Majesty as Minister of War."

"But His Majesty did not grant it."

"Although Guo Fushan is diligent and pragmatic, he is indeed a little bit short in terms of ability."

"And the position of Minister of the Ministry of War is too critical."

"Being vacant all the time is not a long-term solution."

"Therefore, I intend to recommend Cheng Mingzhen to His Majesty as Minister of the Ministry of War."

"I don't know what you think, my eldest grandson?"

Changsun Wuji didn't speak immediately.

But it was just a half smile, looking at Li Qiu with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Li Qiu, I recently heard that Su Xu, who has always been close to King Wei, was recommended by you to be a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

"If you say that, then Cen Wenwen and King Wei are more supportive of Cheng Mingzhen's matter?"

Li Qiu never expected that Changsun Wuji's seemingly casual sentence would expose him completely.

It seems that Xiao Jiujiu, who seems to be quite proud of herself recently, is in front of Changsun Wuji and his group of old monsters.

Really trivial and not worth mentioning.

Ever since, Li Qiu didn't lie.

He scratched his head with a wry smile, "My lord, grandson, you are really astute."

"Nothing can be hidden from you."

Changsun Wuji also laughed loudly at this moment, and then said with emotion: "I didn't expect you, kid, to have grown to this level at last."

"It seems that His Majesty is right to ask you to do this right hand shot."

"I am also more pleased to see your growth."

"As for recommending Cheng Mingzhen to be Minister of War."

"You probably found a lot of supporters here."

"In the court, there will definitely be more opponents."

"But what you see is only the appearance."

"Whoever will be the minister of the Ministry of War does not mean that whoever has the most support will be able to do so."

"In the end, in the final analysis, it still depends on His Majesty's choice."

"Your Majesty is a man of talent."

"And the Cheng Mingzhen you recommended is indeed very talented and well versed in military strategy."
