Eight hundred and eighth chapter imperial power

The winter snow in Youjing has melted.

At the edge of Yongji Canal, young men went out for a walk and shot willows as plays. There were young men riding lightly at horses on the road.

Youjing is close to the north, and has been in contact with the Hu people for a long time in recent years, and the folk customs are more open. Women's outfits are all Miluo, who does not cover their faces, and they directly reveal their faces generously.

The proportion of Hu Ji in Youjing City is also particularly high, because Hu Ji is beautiful and does not cost a lot of money like marrying a Han woman.

Therefore, more and more people marry Hu Ji in Youjing, and intermarriage is common in Hu Han.

In the palace of Youjing.

There were hundreds of officials standing in the hall, all of whom were important officials of the Great Zhao. There were both old and young ministers with white hair and newly promoted young ministers. In addition to Han ministers, there were also many more than a dozen ministers from the barbarians.

For example, Tuli, Asunammo, etc., except for the Turks, they belonged to the most Xi people. They all graduated from Lili, the Imperial College of Chang'an, and were directly awarded official positions. In addition to the Xi people, there were also officials from the Khitan and Dingling tribes.

Although the hall was full of people, no officials dared to speak.

In the hall, Li Chongjiu sat in a dragon robe, carefully watching the battle reports sent from all directions. Li Chongjiu just sat casually, but the ministers in front of him dared not act rashly, and they all stood upright.

Many young officials even felt sweat from their foreheads.

It was not that Li Chongjiu had intended, but that the world had great power to gather people. Under such imperial power, people couldn't help but feel awe.

Now Li Chongjiu is learning that Li Jiancheng went to the Hot Spring Palace to apologize to Li Yuan because of Yang Wengan's rebellion. Cao Wen sent the matter to Li Chongjiu, and said that Li Tang is likely to have a great turmoil.

After reading Cao Wen's letter, Li Chongjiu made a decision. He ordered Wen Yanbo and others: "Transfer my will and ordered the soldiers of Taiyuan County from Su, who was stationed in Taiyuan, to launch an attack on Hedong. At the same time, he also ordered Liang Shidu, Xue Wanjun and Zhang Changxun to lead the Han army, as well as the coalition forces of Dangxiang and Jihu, to attack Duan Decao and cooperate with Su Su's advance."

"Xu Shiji, stationed in Luoyang, and Shan Xiongxin attacked Henan. He not only had to conquer the lost territory, but also test the truth of Li Tang. Li Jing is a famous general. He should not underestimate the enemy."

"In addition, Wang Mahan led 20,000 troops to lead his army south from Yongji Canal to Liyang and attack Hanoi! Li Shentong and incompetent general must capture him alive."

After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Ji Chuan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we have just defeated the Turks, and our vitality has not yet recovered. Besides, the soldiers were very tired last year. They were not ready for things now, and they suddenly attacked Li Tang. I am afraid there is no chance of winning."

Lin Dangfeng also said: "Yes. Your Majesty, it is safe to delay the advancement with the current national treasury and food reserves for at least another half a year, and the grassland has not yet been truly pacified. Goguryeo's Ezhi Wende rebelled, and the Southern Song King Kong fought with Lin Shihong. The victory and defeat were not yet decided, and the time for attacking the Tang Dynasty was not yet ripe."

Li Chongjiu's eyes swept over Ji Chuan, and Lin Dangfeng and the others said, "We can't wait for everything to be ready before attacking. The fighter opportunity was fleeting. When Yuan Shao had the opportunity to destroy Cao Cao, he refused to send troops because of his son's illness and finally lost the world. Now that I am strong and powerful, although my power is better than Li Tang, I dare not be careless. The father and son of the Li family are both among the people, and they may not have had the power to turn over. Now that Li Tang has revealed his flaws, I will attack fiercely, even if I have to attack Tang even if I have difficulty in the country!"

When Li Chongjiu said this, all the ministers showed shocking expressions at the moment. Ji Chuan and Lin Dangfeng did not dare to object anymore, and they all said that they were.

"We have more than 100,000 grassland cavalry to help, and now the Western Turks are also facing us. Li Tang's heavy troops stationed in Chang'an, and there is no spare force to fight back."

If the Zhao grassland cavalry could not be liberated before the Turks were pacified and fought against Li Tang with one hand, then now they would go on both hands together.

"Of course I won't be careless. The situation on the grassland needs to be stabilized by Shide Xi's 100,000 cavalrymen. This time I will let them move around Hexi, put on a stance to attack Guanzhong, and then move according to the opportunity!"

All the ministers all called it one. At present, Da Zhao fought against three sides at the same time. On the east side, Wende of Yizhi killed Gao Baozang, the King of Goguryeo, and established himself as the emperor. The country was known as Liao, with the intention of opposing Li Chongjiu east and west.

Li Chongjiu ordered Yizhi Wende to go to the imperial title, but Yizhi Wende refused and sent troops to guard the Great Wall for thousands of miles, posing as a battle to the end.

At this moment, Li Chongji, who returned from Liaodong, suddenly became a magistrate of Diji and the Liaodong county magistrate Zhou Zhou, attacked Goguryeo from the north and south. Guo Xiaoke, a large army on the north and the north. He took the vanguard of the Mart and Khitan cavalry to seize the domestic city of the old capital of Goguryeo. Zhouzhou crossed the Liaoshui River and led the Liaodong County troops to besiege Liaodong City.

In addition, Li Chongji also sent the letter of state to Baekje and Silla to send troops from the south to cooperate in the attack of Goguryeo. Princess Deman, who is now in charge of Silla, and the Baekje king, did not dare to violate Li Chongji's orders, and sent a large army of water and land to attack Pyongyang. Li Chongji sent a naval general Cheng Mingzhen and the naval commander Zhao Xin to send troops from Dengzhou, leading the Dazhao Navy 10,000 troops to fight across the sea to cooperate with Silla Baekje and attack Pyongyang.

As soon as these five armies came out, Goguryeo was shocked. Yizhi Wende immediately submitted a letter to Li Chongjiu to ask for the emperor's title and be a servant. Li Chongjiu will send a whip out of Youjing City in the future and orders the army to attack, and directly take the head of Yizhi Wende to see him.

On the other hand, the war between Song Jingang and Xiao Xian against Lin Shihong is also continuing.

In February, Xiao Xian led 20,000 Jiangnan navy troops to go up the Yangtze River and attacked Poyang Lake, the base camp of Lin Shihong's naval army.

On the other hand, Song Jingang led the newly-edition elite Jianghuai army, with the two dragon kings of the Jianghuai army, Xiongdan and Kan Ling as the vanguard, and led 30,000 troops from Jiangdu to the south to meet Xiao Xian.

After Lin Shihong heard the news, he immediately conquered the Chu army, with his younger brother Lin Yaoshi as a general, and led an army of 30,000 to Poyang Lake to fight the Zhao army.

Lin Shihong knew that if Song Jingang's main army arrived, he would lose in this battle without fighting. So Lin Shihong made a desperate bet and led 30,000 troops to attack Xiao Xian first.

The two armies fought bloody battles in Poyang Lake. Xiao Xianchu lost three consecutive battles, but then stabilized his position and supported the arrival of the Song Dynasty King Kong army. Lin Shihong saw that the Song Dynasty King Kong army was coming, and knew it was defeated. He immediately abandoned Jiujiang and left, and the Zhao army followed the situation to capture Jiujiang.

After Song Jingang occupied Jiujiang, the base camp of Li Lin Shihong, he immediately won Li Chongjiu. On the other hand, Wang Xiongdan and Kan Ling chased Lin Shihong.

At the same time, the Song King Kong ordered Xiao Xian to lead a large army to the Lingnan area, preventing Lin Shihong from fleeing south, and showing off his military power, shocking Feng Ann, the leader of the lie people who occupied the south of Lingnan.

Now Li Chongjiu decided to take advantage of the civil strife of Li Tang and send troops to attack Li Tang again. The three-way attack really surprised everyone.

But at the same time, everyone also felt that the strength of Zhao State. With the strength of Zhao State, there is indeed this capital today.

Moreover, Li Chongjiu did not need to fight in person, he just needed to sit in the hall and plan thousands of miles away. He was capable on all sides and could trust the generals who could stand alone.

Li Chongjiu sat in the hall, and the ministers below bowed their heads. After the government orders were discussed by the ministers, they were issued in the form of imperial edicts.

Although Li Chongjiu was not an arbitrary person, and now it was not the beginning of the founding of the country, when Li Chongjiu issued one by one, the ministers of Zhao did not question much. Several loyal ministers such as Wei Zheng, Ji Chuan and others were less and less in the hall. Even if they opposed it, they would not dare to persuade him again after seeing Li Chongjiu insisting.

There are even fewer children from other aristocratic families, old ministers from Great Zhao, and even Wen Yanbo, the prime minister of Taiping.

It’s not that they dare not speak out, but that Li Chongjiu’s achievements are too great. Since suppressing the Turks and creating this extraordinary martial arts, Li Chongjiu’s prestige is unattainable. It is a Jinke law that is just a matter of saying it, and few people will question it.

Ministers were always worried that Li Chongjiu's power would be like repeating Yang Guang's mistakes. But in fact, the more powerful the Emperor of Great Zhao, the more heavier the power, he would be in every way in wars.

Since its founding, the powerful centralization has been implemented, coupled with Li Chongjiu's personal prestige, the imperial power of Da Zhao is extremely powerful under this.

Under the powerful imperial power, whether it is the Hebei gentry who is taller on the cliff, look down on all the clans, the Hedong gentry with different geography from the Hebei gentry, the old officials of the court in the previous dynasty, the newly promoted poor officials, the merchant ranks who have a large amount of commercial resources and information, and even the Hu gentry who have always been in harmony with the Han people, the internal contradictions were suppressed.

The mutual struggle between each other is reduced to a minimum, and under the imperial power, everyone is united. In the past few years, more than ten years, twenty years, and a set of unspoken rules that will be followed will be implemented.

But before that, only under the powerful imperial power could the different factions between the Great Zhao Empire be maintained. Li Chongjiu still envied Li Yuan in this regard, because he only needed to handle the relationship between the Guanlong Group well.

The promulgation of government decrees can change the fate of thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of people in their lives.

Everyone was already very accustomed to the fact that this vast Great Zhao Empire was dominated by this hall.

The lights were already on at night, and most of the officials had dispersed, but there were still more than a dozen officials reporting the matter in front of Li Chongjiu.

The officials in charge of His Highness the Secretariat sent out one battle report after another from outside at any time. There was a queue outside the hall again, and the officials were holding memorials in their hands and waiting to meet Li Chongjiu.

This was also Li Chongjiu's decision. Since the beginning of the war, he deprived the Secretary of the Secretariat of Piao of the State Council. He presented all the information about the situation of the war, no matter how big or small, to himself and corrected it.
