Chapter Four
Wei Zheng saw that Li Jing was talking to Li Haochen, thinking about his relationship with Li Haochen, so he naturally could not hold back on this matter. He quickly bowed to Li Jiancheng and said: "General Li Jing said so much. I also think that Li Haochen is the best candidate for the head coach of the Tongguan retreat this time! I applaud what General Li Jing said! I am willing to recommend Li Haochen to go to war with his family's lives!"
Li Jiancheng had no expression on his face, but looked at Li Ji. Li Ji knew that this was Li Jiancheng asking for his opinion, so he naturally did not dare to turn a blind eye and quickly said, "I don't have much contact with Li Haochen, so it's hard to make arbitrary assertions, but I heard that this person is extremely young, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take on this important task! I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "What I am saying is exactly what I am worried about! I am considering this matter!" After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he snorted coldly at Wei Zheng, obviously very angry at Wei Zheng's performance of standing on Li Haochen's side just now, so Li Jiancheng naturally could not give Wei Zheng any good face at this moment.
Li Jing and Wei Zheng looked at each other when they heard this, with helpless expressions on their faces, and sighed sadly in their hearts. They didn't know why the emperor, who had always been kind and kind, held such a grudge against Li Haochen, and what happened between them.
At this moment, an eunuch hurried into the hall and said, "Eight hundred miles of speed! Tongguan is in urgent need! It's dangerous!"
As this voice came, the people in the hall who had just argued for Li Haochen were silenced and thought it was not good. As the emperor, Li Jiancheng quickly calmed down and said to the eunuch: "Come on!"
Li Jiancheng looked at the war report and felt sad. He thought that it was less than half a month before Li Shimin raised his troops, but Tongguan was about to fall. In the past half month, Li Shimin basically had the time to march from Yunzhou to Tongguan. It can be seen that the generals along the way either collapsed or surrendered in a glance. This was the thing that made Li Jiancheng the most angry. He angrily slapped the imperial case, angrily scolded the incompetent generals, and then said to the eunuch who sent the war report: "I already know, you should retreat!"
After the eunuch retreated, Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Is there really no one in my Tang Dynasty available? My father gave me a unified country. I have just succeeded to the throne for less than a month, but this beautiful country collapsed and was once again in the war. I asked myself that there was no place where there was no virtue, why did God punish me like this!"
Seeing this, Li Jing seized the opportunity again and advised: "Your Majesty, I heard that whenever a hero succeeds to the throne, God will suffer hardships and temper his will, so that he can have the ability to leave a name in history. Your Majesty must not be so pessimistic. The old Majesty once again recommends Li Haochen as the commander, and I hope Your Majesty will report it!"
When Li Jiancheng knew that this national crisis was not the time for him and Li Haochen to be angry, he sighed and said, "Forget it! Since Duke Wei repeatedly recommended Li Haochen to me, I will listen to you once and send an order to host Li Haochen's mansion! I want to go and call the commander in person!"
Wei Zheng and Li Jing were overjoyed when they heard this and quickly said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Jian became a formal watch, dressed in court robes, brought the emperor's ceremonial guards and came to Li Haochen's mansion.
