Chapter 175

In any case, it is always right to boast about Taizong's achievements. Wang Ji is worthy of being the star of hope for the generation of Wang family in Langya. He quickly recovered from his confusion. After a little thought, an article full of praise would be completed like a flowing writing. He later checked it in detail, changed several places where the taboo was violated, and copied it on the test paper with the style of the Pavilion.

After waiting for a while, he chose a poem he liked and filled it on the paper. Wang Ji's palace test paper was completed. After looking around, he saw that someone had already handed in the paper. He no longer wasted his time and immediately handed over his paper.

Several examiners gathered together and quickly corrected the test papers. One of them nodded quietly at Wang Ji, which was finally letting go. The Wang family of Langya was quite powerful in the court and the country, and the examiner just now was their old friend. Judging from his expression just now, his subject must be high school, and his papers will also appear in the last test papers presented to the emperor. As for whether he can get the top scorer, it depends on whether the emperor appreciates his literary talent.

Soon, other scholars from the exam also handed over the papers. The examiners corrected the papers accordingly and discussed the rankings and presented the test papers to Yang Jiefu. Yang Jiefu did not read them and directly sent them to Li Gui.

Is it because of the big mess caused by the palace examination last year that I dare not move any more? Li Gui's mouth showed a smile that was not easy to detect. He opened the test paper and read it. Soon he was attracted by the policy statement placed on the top.

"The Six Divisions have been out many times, and the dust in the north of the desert is clear. By the same year, their power and virtue were everywhere, and the guests from all directions were waiting for thirty countries. Their tributes were almost thirty countries. Their bodies were so vast that they went far away from the previous dynasty! The success and vigor were so strong that they were so prosperous." As he looked at Li Gui couldn't help but read the good sentences in this article that made him long for.

After reading one article, he still felt unsatisfied. He found the name of the candidate on the test paper and said loudly, "Who is Langya Wang Ji?"

"Students, please see Your Majesty." Wang Ji quickly stood up and gave a deep salute. The scholars around him sighed. They knew that the top scorer was the one he was the one who belonged to this time.

"Are you a child of the Wang family of Langya?" Li Gui frowned inadvertently when he saw his hometown, but it disappeared in an instant. Since even Wang Ji, who came from a noble family, praised Taizong's wise move to personally conquer Mobei, wouldn't that mean they did not object to my commander-in-chief?

Then he asked Wang Ji a few questions, and he responded very appropriately. Li Gui nodded and pointed him as the top scorer in the current subject. Other second-tier names, Tanhua, Chuanlu, etc. also pointed out accordingly. All the scholars hurriedly thanked him.

The second day, the imperial list was released. As Wang Ji and others' names spread all over the world, the capital also talked about the heroic past of Taizong's personal expedition to the north of the Mo, and Wang Ji's article was repeatedly mentioned. A few days later, a doctor from the Ministry of War wrote a letter to Li Gui, asking Li Gui to follow Taizong's past and lead his army to personally expedite the Tang Kuo army.

The memorial of the doctor was kept by Li Gui and refused to be published, but his mother was awarded the title of Mrs. Haoming by the emperor. For a moment, inside and outside the court quickly understood Li Gui's thoughts, so the memorials requesting the emperor to personally conduct an expedition were passed through the Tongzhengsi to Li Gui like snowflakes.

Some of them are arranged by Wei Shiliang and Qiu Yuande, while others are speculative people who want to seize the opportunity to leave an impression in front of Li Gui. Through this operation, Li Gui's personal public opinion foundation has been laid.

"Today someone wrote a letter to me, asking me to lead the imperial guards in the Beijing camp to personally attack the Tang Kuo army and wipe out the shame of the defeat of Haoshuichuan last year. You may as well discuss it and see how to deal with this matter?" During the morning court, Li Gui threw out a lot of memorials. Not only did there be memorials from officials of the current dynasty, but there were even some old ministers and generals who had retired and returned home. Although they had lost their rights, they had a high reputation in the court and the people and should not be taken lightly.

"If Your Majesty can come to the north of the Mo, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted. A small Tang Kuo army will definitely turn into powder before our army." Chen Yu, the Shunchang Bo, who was seized by Wei Qian and Jiang Qi last time, immediately stood up to respond, "If Your Majesty is the emperor, the old minister is willing to be the vanguard, open the way for Your Majesty to meet mountains and build bridges when you meet rivers."

"A son of a thousand gold can't sit in the hall, let alone Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, how can you be in danger?" The censor Jia Cheng immediately stood up and refuted, "I want to impeach Shun Changbo with ulterior motives and try to put Your Majesty in danger with his own personal intentions."

A civil servant who was dependent on Wei Shiliang came out to defend Chen Yu, and another tit-for-tat came out, and the court suddenly became a mess; but this time the combat effectiveness of civil servants from the aristocratic families and poor families seemed to be a bit poor. As soon as the bosses Yang Jiefu and Jia Cheng were blocked by the defeat of last year's Good Water River. The rest were all small officials with insufficient prestige, and they were soon at a disadvantage in front of the nobles and Wei Shiliang's accomplices.

The nobles were suppressed by civil servants for decades. Seeing that they had the opportunity to turn around, how could they not use their best skills to argue with civil servants? After the Battle of Haoshuichuan last year, these civil servants had their right to speak in the war and could only support them with the excuse of worrying about His Majesty's safety.

"Okay, with my elite guards of 300,000 imperial guards in the Wei Dynasty, how could I have any problems?" Seeing that the time had come, Li Gui stood up and expressed his attitude, "Taizu and Taizong could not avoid swords and swords, and personally attack arrows and stones to fight against the enemy. I am also a descendant of the Li family. How could the ancestors be more beautiful than before?"

"After the Battle of Haoshuichuan last year, the morale of the soldiers was sluggish. It was the time when I needed my commander to personally enforce the morale." Li Gui's eyes swept across the ministers. The ministers who tried their best to waving flags for Wei Shu and Jiang Qi were all lowered their minds. Seeing this, Li Gui's confidence became increasingly high. "I have decided to lead the troops in one month, and the ministers are not allowed to advise them again."

As soon as this statement was made, no one dared to distinguish it. The generals of the nobles were happy and praised His Majesty for his wiseness. This time, he would definitely defeat the Tang Kuo tribe in one battle and capture the slave chief Arubu to the imperial front.

When he returned to the palace, Li Gui informed the Empress Dowager about the matter. Now the matter has become a foregone conclusion, and the Empress Dowager is not able to refute it. He just instructed Li Gui to take care of his dragon body, so he went back to the palace to rest.
