Chapter 266 Li Wensheng's Wisdom.
Emperor Hongyu became angry and shouted:
"Did you tell lies to me in the past?"
Li Wensheng felt a chill in his heart and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, I will never dare to deceive you, Your Majesty!"
"minister..."
"okay!"
Li Wensheng wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Emperor Hong Yu.
From ancient times to the present, which courtiers of any dynasty can tell the truth 100% to the current emperor? As long as they can do practical things, Emperor Hongyu will not care too much.
"As the chief minister of the dynasty, do you have any objections to the opinions of the old princes?" Emperor Hongyu said in a deep voice.
When Li Wensheng heard this, his expression changed slightly, and then he looked at Wang Xiao who was not far away. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and bowed loudly:
"Your Majesty, I... I second my proposal!"
After the words fell, the expressions of the princes changed slightly, and they were suddenly shocked.
In today's situation, if they have to make a decision, they can only make it according to His Majesty's wishes. After all, His Majesty is the current emperor!
Li Wensheng's move really confused them. He is usually such a smooth person, so he shouldn't be so stupid that he can't see the situation clearly.
But when the old princes on the side heard this, they immediately became happy.
Immediately, King Qi stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, since Mr. Li has agreed with the old minister's opinion, Your Majesty, please consider the old minister's opinion carefully!"
Emperor Hong Yu looked meaningfully at Li Wensheng, who lowered his head and bowed his hands, and then shouted coldly:
"Dismissal? It's easy to say! Who will guard the northern border, who will lead the hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern border, and who of you has this ability?"
"Your Majesty!" Hearing this, the old King of Qi said quickly: "Today is different from the past. Now the Northern Barbarians have made peace with us and there will be no more wars in the next few years. In that case, who will lead the Northern Army?
What’s the difference?”
Emperor Hongyu looked at the old King Qi coldly and said in a deep voice:
"Then according to Uncle Qi's opinion, is there a suitable candidate?"
The old King Qi smiled knowingly and said calmly:
"Commanding an army requires resourcefulness, but according to the current situation, the most important thing is to have the son of our royal family, so I..."
"Do you want to recommend your son Huang Chengyu?" Emperor Hong Yu interrupted.
The old King Qi was immediately embarrassed and then said sarcastically:
"It's not that he is the only one, but Your Majesty knows that Cheng Yu has been in the army since he was a child and is a good leader!"
"A good player?"
Suddenly, Wang Xiao, who had been silent until now, was amused and said with a smile: "He is indeed a good player. He took three thousand elite soldiers to suppress the bandits, but he was defeated by a group of bandits and returned in disgrace.
...It’s really awesome!”
"Wang Xiao, don't talk nonsense. If you hadn't taken the credit from my son back then, how could you be where you are today?"
Wang Xiao was immediately laughed out of anger and shouted in a deep voice:
"Old man, you must be old and confused. If it weren't for me, your son would have been killed by a bandit. How can you still yell at me here?"
"Besides, what I'm in now is all caused by one shot after another in Beisai. What kind of thing is his emperor Cheng Yu? He's not worthy of being a pawn leading a horse for me. How dare you lick your old face and let him
To command my king’s soldiers?”
"Wang Xiao, you...you are so presumptuous!" King Qi was so angry that he was out of breath. He pointed at Wang Xiao with an angry look and almost spitted on his face.
"Come on, don't be embarrassed anymore!"
But before King Qi could say anything, Wang Xiao bowed to Emperor Hong Yu and said:
"Your Majesty, as soon as this came out today, I have finally understood. Why don't you fulfill King Qi's wish? You can let Huang Chengyu try it. If he reaches the northern border, he will not be defeated by the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
His aura made him wet his pants on the spot, I thought he was a genius!"
After that, he pointed to the old princes beside him and said with a sneer:
"And you, if you have any unrivaled disciples in the house, call them all out to try. I want to see which of them dares to go!"
After the words fell, all the old princes were dumbfounded for a moment.
But they were silent for less than a moment, and then they immediately stood up and said:
"Wang Xiao, do you really think that apart from you, there is no one else capable in the court?"
Wang Xiao smiled coldly and said:
"You are right. Apart from me, who in the court can command the hundreds of thousands of troops in Beisei?
Maybe in today's situation, there may be one or two people who are barely qualified, but they will definitely not be the trash in your house!"
Hearing this, King Qi sneered and shouted:
"You say so much because you are reluctant to part with the military power in your hands. Now, except for the southern border, the world is at peace. What are you doing with so much military power in your hands? Do you want to rebel?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, these words were too...
But Wang Xiao smiled coldly and said with a ferocious smile:
"My good uncle Wang, if I want to rebel, I will definitely kill you first. No one in your family can escape!"
"You..." King Qi's expression changed.
"Okay, shut up!" Emperor Hong Yu shouted in a deep voice:
"You are talking about rebellion in front of me, do you still take me seriously?"
Wang Xiao glanced at the old King Qi coldly, then bowed to Emperor Hong Yu and said:
"Your Majesty, if you are really worried, you can remove me from my post. I am indeed tired over the years and it's time for me to rest!"
After the words fell, all the princes were shocked...
He has been operating in Beisei for nearly twenty years, is he really willing to let go?
Emperor Hongyu looked at Wang Xiao with a serious face and said in a deep voice:
"Nonsense, if you withdraw, what will happen to Beisei? Just leave it alone?"
Wang Xiao sighed, shook his head and said:
"I have been in charge for nearly twenty years, and now I have driven the northern barbarians back to the border town. It is enough."
Hearing this, Emperor Hongyu said in a deep voice:
"I'm not allowed. If you leave, the Northern Serbian Army will be leaderless. Among those soldiers, who else can surrender except you?"
Wang Xiao pondered for a moment and sighed softly:
"I see that Old General Yang is still quite strong. Your Majesty, please ask him to come out!"
"Old General Yang Zhengting?" Emperor Hong Yu frowned and shook his head:
"No, he is two years older than your father. How can I send him to the desert border of Beisena again?"
Wang Xiao nodded, then pondered for a moment, and said lightly:
"Then..."
"No..." Emperor Hong Yu refused blindly!
"...."
Seeing the two people discussing each other, the princes were stunned. The style of painting changed so quickly that they couldn't react for a while!
But seeing this, Li Wensheng raised his eyebrows. He has been with you for decades and he has his own wisdom.
Looking at the pretentious discussion between the two people in the hall, he immediately looked at Wang Jingzhou who was almost asleep with his eyes closed, and his mind started to work rapidly again.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then turned his attention to a person who was indifferent to the current situation.
Looking at him, Li Wensheng then looked at Wang Jingzhou and whispered:
"It's him?"
Wang Jingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, remaining silent.
But when Li Wensheng saw this, he already understood in his heart.
"What exactly do you want to do? Since I am involved in your plan, can't you tell me in advance? What if I can't figure it out?"
"You have no idea what you are doing as the chief assistant, go home and raise pigs!" Wang Jingzhou said in a low voice.
Li Wensheng glared at Wang Jingzhou angrily, then sighed, slowly took two steps forward, looked at the hall, and bowed loudly:
"Your Majesty, I have a candidate who is qualified to take on this important task!"
The voice echoed in the hall, and the expressions of the princes changed slightly.
Zhong Minghong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, looked at Li Wensheng in surprise... My Lord Li, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. You told me this before you came here. Have you forgotten it?
