Chapter 67
"Goguryeo disobeyed my edict, and I decided to send troops to attack Goguryeo." Li Er in the Taiji Hall announced the military decision to attack Goguryeo to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

"The minister has a book to play!" Only Chu Suiliang, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, stood up and said.

"What's Chu Aiqing going to report?" Li Er asked.

"I object to Your Majesty sending troops to attack Goguryeo!" Chu Suiliang said.

"What?" Li Er said with a look of surprise, "Did I hear it wrong, or did Chu Aiqing say it wrong?"

"Your Majesty heard right! I didn't say anything wrong either! I object to Your Majesty sending troops to Liaodong." Chu Suiliang said.

"I want to hear, why do you object to my sending troops to attack Goguryeo? Why do you object to me?" Li Er asked.

Li Er was a man of good advice, and he was an emperor who could listen to his ministers' suggestions. Like Wei Zheng, who often challenged him and made him angry, Li Er could also listen to Wei Zheng's advice.

Not to mention that Chu Suiliang would not become angry because Chu Suiliang stood up and opposed it.

You have to listen to him finish his reasoning before making a decision. If what Chu Suiliang said makes sense, maybe Li Er will agree?
Chu Suiliang said: "Where your Majesty's banner is directed, the Central Plains will be peaceful and peaceful, and wherever your eyes go, the peoples of the four directions will be subdued. What a prestige this is!"

"Now we have to go across the sea to conquer the little barbarians. If the news of success can come back in the near future, it will be justified!"

"Should there be any mistakes, which will cause loss of prestige, cause domestic dissatisfaction and lead to rebellion, safety will be unpredictable!"

As soon as Chu Suiliang finished speaking, Li Ji stood up and said: "At the beginning when Xue Yantuo invaded the border of our Tang Dynasty, His Majesty also planned to send troops to attack, but Wei Zheng tried his best to dissuade him, which made His Majesty dispel the idea of ​​attacking Xue Yantuo. There is now a hidden danger in the north."

"If His Majesty's strategy had been followed, the northern border would have remained peaceful forever."

After listening to Li Ji's words, Li Er said with emotion: "That's right! This is Wei Zheng's fault. I can't say it every time I think about it, because I'm afraid that no one will be as outspoken as Wei Zheng in the future."

"So, in order to eliminate Goguryeo this time, I decided to go on a personal expedition! The crown prince still stays in Chang'an, and supervises the country and handles the government affairs for me."

After Li Er finished speaking, the ministers were stunned. At first they thought that Li Er was going to send troops to attack Goguryeo, but no one thought that Li Er would actually want to conquer Goguryeo himself.

How old are you, do you have no points in your heart?What if something happens on the way.

Old arms and old legs, still so good at tossing.

This time it was Chu Suiliang who stood up and tried to dissuade him: "The world is like our human body, and the two capitals are like our confidantes! The states and counties are like our limbs, and the barbarians in all directions are just things outside of us."

"Goguryeo is indeed a heinous crime! It is indeed necessary to crusade. You only need to order two or three strong generals to lead [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. Relying on the power of your majesty, it is easy to take down Goguryeo."

"Once you give up a place that is impenetrable, you have to cross the ocean and enter a dangerous place. As the king of a country, you will travel far away easily. These are all the ministers are worried about."

Li Er did not listen to Chu Suiliang's suggestion at all. This time he was determined to attack Goguryeo, and while he was still able to move, he would clear up the hidden dangers in the north for Li Chengqian.

Li Eryu's personal conquest is not only for his successor, but also because he refuses to accept his old age and wants to continue to show off his glory.

Li Er said to Chu Suiliang and the minister: "Bayao and Jiushun cannot be planted in winter, but wild husbands and boys are born in spring, because of the season."

"Heaven has its own seasons, and people have their own merits. Quan Gai Suwen bullied the emperor and tyrannized the people. The people are living in dire straits, waiting for rescue."

"Now is a great time to destroy Goguryeo. Everyone is talking about it, but they don't really see it."

After hearing this, everyone was speechless and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Father! My son looks bad at my father! There is a trace of sadness between my brows! I don't know what is bothering my father, please tell my father, so that my son and other ministers can share your worries!" Li Chengqian said .

After hearing the words, all the ministers looked at Li Er one after another, only to find that Li Er's face was not very happy, as if he was worried about something.

"It's nothing serious! It's just that I had a dream last night, which has been lingering in my heart and I can't get rid of it!" Li Er said.

"I don't know what kind of dream your Majesty had? I have dabbled in dream interpretation to some extent, and maybe I can help Your Majesty unravel this dream." Li Ji said.

"Oh! I never thought that Aiqing would still know this way. If so, let me tell you about this dream I had..."

Li Er told Manchao Wenwu about the dream he had last night, and after everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Ji.

After all, among these people, except for Li Ji who dared to volunteer and say that he could interpret dreams, the others knew nothing about dream interpretation.

Now I can only quietly watch Li Ji perform.

Li Ji stroked his beard and lowered his head in thought.

"Can Aiqing unravel this dream?" Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, Li Er asked.

To be honest, he didn't believe that Li Ji would have the ability to interpret dreams.

"I have solved this dream, congratulations Your Majesty!" Li Ji laughed.

"Where does joy come from?" Li Er was confused.

Not only Li Er was confused, but even the civil and military ministers in the palace were kept in the dark. Only Li Chengqian knew what Li Ji would say next!
"Your Majesty's dream just told us that the crusade against Goguryeo may be dangerous. Fortunately, this young general in white robes escorted us, so we survived. Isn't this worthy of congratulations?" Li Ji laughed.

"Then tell me, what is the name of this young general in white robe? Where does he live?" Li Er asked again.

If it is true as Li Ji said, there really is such a young general in white robe, but where is he looking for now?

"Didn't your Majesty just say that this person disappeared into Longmen with his men and horses? Longkou indicates the Dragon Gate. Doesn't this mean that this person entered the Dragon Gate? As far as I know, Jiangzhou happens to have a Longmen County."

"Looking at the first line of the four lines of the poem, if the house is far away, it is a little red. If it is compared to the sun, when the sun sets, it seems that it is not setting, but just this little bit of red remains."

"So, I deduce that this person should be from Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi. As long as this location is locked, it is not difficult to find someone." Li Ji said.

When Li Er heard the words, he suddenly realized! It is really possible that he can find the young white-robed general in his dream in Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi.

"Wonderful! Li Ji, you understand well! But it's not easy to find such a person in Longmen County. You haven't said the name of this person yet?" Li Er smiled and felt much better.

"It's actually not difficult. The two lines in the middle of the poem already tell the name of this person!" Li Ji said.

"Li Ji, you old boy don't want to sell any nonsense, tell me quickly!" After listening for a long time, Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold back seeing Li Ji was still there.
