Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 498 How to Explain
Xue Li has already entered Beijing, and Li Er will start discussing this matter at the next court meeting.

The tone of the Eastern Expedition has basically been set. Now it is just about the selection of soldiers and generals, as well as the issues of food and grass for soldiers. These issues will be discussed in the next court meeting.

Zhang Yi got up on the fourth watch.

Today is the day of the court meeting, he has to go, and he has to pass it full of energy, because today, it is very likely that he will have to fight against the Confucianism, in order to be able to scold those guys, Zhang Yi deliberately took a day off yesterday , just to accumulate energy.

Since it was still relatively early, Zhang Yi chose to take a carriage to Chang'an this time.

Although riding a horse is twice as fast as riding a carriage, riding a horse is a little tiring, and it will also affect his appearance. If the wind is a little stronger, his hair will be messed up.

He must now ensure that he is in the best condition to deal with those guys, otherwise he is very likely to be thrown onto the battlefield by Li Er again.

He doesn't want to go through another war, so he would rather be tired now, so that he can continue to be his rich man in Zhangjiazhuang in the future.

Anyway, a lot of people want to make contributions, and I recommend them to go up, and they have to be grateful to themselves in the future.

The court meeting started soon, and Li Eryi came up to discuss the issue of the Eastern Expedition, and everyone knew what was going to be said today, so they also began to express their opinions.

"The pioneer of the Eastern Expedition, Bo Zhang Yi of Jingyang County recommended Xue Li from Hedong. I don't know if you have any opinions."

After talking about the previous matter, Li Er finally mentioned Xue Li's matter.

As soon as Li Er's words fell, there was a voice of opposition in the court hall.

"I have inquired about this Xue Li, but he is just a yellow-mouthed child in a weak year. I am afraid it will be difficult for him to take on this great responsibility."

"My minister seconded the proposal. After all, the Eastern Expedition is no small matter. Hedong Xueli has never experienced war, and he is still young, and he has never proved whether he is capable of leading an army. Therefore, I think this matter cannot be done. We cannot take the lives of the soldiers. Come on kidding."

"Yes, Your Majesty, what we have to say here is a matter of a few words, but it is related to the lives of countless soldiers in front. It is an important matter for the army, and it is not a trifling matter."

In the court, there were many voices of opposition. Whether it was civil servants or generals, this time, they all chose to oppose in unity.

In any case, it is too risky to let a young boy be the pioneer. It is reasonable to let a guy like Cheng Chumo be the pioneer, after all, he is a general, and he has his father Cheng Yaojin to support him with.

But what are those Xue Rengui?I have never heard of it before, and they are still so young, have no qualifications, no experience, and nothing. In their opinion, breaking the sky is just knowing a few three-legged kung fu and some things on paper. What a big climate.

And those people Zhang Yi lobbied before, seeing that the people who opposed him now are so powerful, they also chose to remain silent.

In fact, they didn't stand up against Zhang Yi together, which is already giving Zhang Yi a lot of face.

Above the court, more than half of the people opposed it.

Li Er didn't express his opinion, just sat there quietly and listened to the quarrel.

And Zhang Yi didn't bother to refute them at this time, it didn't matter what those people thought, he just needed Li Er's support and affirmation, and that would be better than half of the people here.

After those who held opposing opinions expressed their opinions in turn, Li Ercai looked at Zhang Yi and asked him to explain his views and why he recommended Xue Li.

Zhang Yi stood up and looked at Li Er and said: "I remember that I once told Your Majesty that if I tell who the person I recommend is, then I will be opposed by the princes in the court, and even the full Chao Wenwu, no one will support me."

As Zhang Yi spoke solemnly, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Li Er nodded and said: "Well, I remember that you said this, and I wanted to ask you some reasons at that time."

Li Er obviously did not forget what Zhang Yi said that day.

"Continue." Li Er signaled Zhang Yi to continue.

Zhang Yi continued: "Since I know that if I recommend him, I will be criticized by the princes in the court, so why should I recommend him?"

"Why?" Zhang Yi immediately asked Li Er as soon as he finished speaking.

"Because he has real talent and learning, and I'm afraid we don't understand Goguryeo as much as he does."

"If you don't believe me, you can test him yourself to see if he has real materials or is just a sloppy bag. These things can't be faked, and everyone will know when they try it."

Zhang Yi began to fool the people in the court with his most worthless things, but these people were actually stunned by Zhang Yi.

People in this era pay attention to fame and festivals.

What kind of person is Zhang Yi?Zhang Yi is an honorable man, and he is the most popular person in front of Li Er recently. Why would he dare to use his fame to vouch for a fledgling and little-known kid?

Moreover, what Zhang Yi said made him have a feat of abandoning himself to recommend talents for the country. He would rather give up his own fame than let celebrities be buried. This made many people applaud him in their hearts .

Those who had previously opposed Zhang Yi also looked at Zhang Yi with a bit of color at this time. At least this guy didn't use his own power to randomly recommend someone to Li Er.

But the war is not a child's play. Even if Zhang Yi bet on his own name, the risk is still too great. Those people still dare not joke about the lives of the soldiers and the success or failure of the war.

"Has Bo of Jingyang County seen He Dong Xue Li before? If so, where did he see him?"

A few questions were directly thrown to Zhang Yi. If Zhang Yi could not give them a satisfactory explanation, they would still continue to choose to oppose.

Zhang Yi spread out his hands and said simply: "I have never seen him before, but I know him, and an immortal entrusted me with a dream before, telling me that this person can help Datang defeat Goguryeo, so I That's why I put on my old face and came here to beg for mercy."

"In short, no matter how you say it, I don't want Xue Li to be buried. Let him be the vanguard, and he will definitely not be inferior."

Zhang Yi's statement obviously cannot satisfy those people.

"Since the uncle of Jingyang County has never met Xue Li, why is he so sure that he will do it?"

If Zhang Yi just wanted to fool the past by relying on the fairy's entrusting a dream, it would obviously not work.

"Jingyang County Uncle, please explain. You haven't met him, why do you know him so well, and are you so sure that he will be the vanguard of my Tang army?"
