At this time, everyone's focus was on Li Nian, and everyone suspected that he had ulterior motives. After all, Li Shu had suffered a stroke and was in a coma. The two were both military generals and were from the same family. The dispute between direct concubines and concubines would inevitably lead to suspicion of Li Nian.
Do you have any unreasonable thoughts?
Li Nian clasped his fists, cupped his hands and said, "The commander-in-chief is not here, so the deputy general has always acted as the commander-in-chief. I would like to ask Deputy General Luo to give me some advice."
Vice General Luo glanced at Li Nian in surprise, and then there was a hint of pride in his eyes. Before anyone else could say anything, Vice General Luo stood up and began to deliver his inaugural speech without hesitation.
"Since Lord Marquis is seriously ill, let's rest in peace and recuperate. Mobei is not a dragon's den, and we are still afraid of those barbarians! As long as I, Luo Sheng, am here, I will be able to defend Mobei City and bury those barbarians alive!"
These words were impassioned and quite inspiring before the war. Unfortunately, everyone here did not buy it. Some people frowned, while others hesitated to speak. Obviously, they were not as optimistic as the one named Luo.
Li Nian calmly observed everyone's reactions, and he had a new assessment of Li Man'er's resourcefulness. His eldest niece could be said to be an expert at predicting events! She was also impressed by everyone's reactions.
We calculated everything one by one.
Luo Sheng's words did not arouse any strong resonance. On the contrary, everyone's morale was low, as if they had already lost half the battle before the barbarians came.
This scene was like a leader giving a speech. After he finished speaking, there was silence and no applause.
How embarrassing, how embarrassing.
Luo Sheng obviously understood that everyone was not optimistic about him, and he became angry and asked, "What do you mean?"
No one spoke, everyone seemed to be thinking about how to speak.
If what Luo Sheng said just now was said by Li Shu, or if these words were said by Li Nian, everyone's reaction would not be like this.
Who is Luo Sheng and how capable he is? They know very well!
Luo Sheng was the younger brother of the imperial concubine, and could also be regarded as the Holy Emperor's brother-in-law.
The Luo family is also considered a famous family, but after the noble concubine became favored, the Luo family became more and more unruly in their actions. With the support of the noble concubine, they often did things that made people angry.
This Luo Sheng, who had the same mother as the imperial concubine, was deeply loved by the imperial concubine. He was incompetent in writing and martial arts, and he was usually a fool. This time he came to Mobei with the army, and he also held the title of deputy general, just to get gold.
With Li Shu here, if something goes wrong, it won't be his turn to take the blame, and he will not be punished. On the contrary, as long as he stays in Mobei for a period of time honestly, as long as he has no faults, he has merit. If Li Shu
If Shu manages his errands well and achieves military exploits, then Luo Sheng can also get a big advantage and become gold-plated.
This is something that everyone knows tacitly. Who dares to question the Holy One's decision? The Holy One has made it clear that he wants to give face to the Luo family and to give dignity to the noble concubine, so they naturally dare not have any objections.
As long as Luo Sheng is not the commander-in-chief, people below him will have no objection to calling him deputy commander-in-chief. But if he were to be the commander-in-chief who gave orders and led the three armies, everyone would die without knowing how.
What does a man named Luo know? Apart from eating, drinking, having fun and playing with women, I'm afraid he can't even memorize the Analects of Confucius. Let such a man lead the three armies, it would be better to wipe their necks collectively and leave a whole corpse.
"General Li, this suggestion of yours is not bad at all." Jarl said this in an eccentric manner, as if he meant something.
Li Nian smiled.
"When the general is absent, the deputy general gives orders. This has been true since ancient times. I just acted according to the rules and made such a suggestion. Why does General Jia think my suggestion is not good and inappropriate?"
Luo Sheng's sinister gaze fell on Jial.
Anyone who stands up to oppose him at this time will be punished.
Jial was just a bit rougher in appearance, but not rough-minded. He immediately understood that Li Nian was holding a knife on his neck to scare the monkeys. If he acquiesced to Luo Sheng as the commander-in-chief, then others would do the same.
Just follow him and acquiesce.
What if he objects? There are clear distinctions between superiors and subordinates in the army, and if he dares to resist openly, he is not far from death.
Luo Sheng, the deputy general, was appointed by the Holy Emperor himself!
"How is that possible?" Jarl gritted his teeth and said, "General Li's proposal is very good."
When the others saw Jia Er giving in, they also remained silent, acquiescing to Luo Sheng's right to accuse.
Li Nian smiled slightly, "In that case, I won't be involved in the next thing. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the barbarians are likely to take this opportunity to knock on the door. Please discuss a charter as soon as possible.
Come. If there is any need for me, Li will be obliged to do so."
After he said these words, he nodded slightly and left the meeting hall with quick strides.
It's so shameless.
Jia Er wished he could poke two holes in Li Nian's body.
"Everyone, we should work together now." Luo Sheng walked up to the throne excitedly, looking like a general, "You guys have a good discussion and write a charter. If it is well written, we will implement it according to the charter.
If the writing is not good, your salary will be deducted."
Everyone looked at each other, what is this?
Li Shu closed his eyes and didn't know what was going on; Li Nian tossed his sleeves and didn't care about anything, leaving a idiot to take charge of the overall situation. Isn't this a joke!
Li Nian found Li Man'er and asked her how Li Shu was doing.
"Don't worry, third uncle, you won't die." Li Man'er winked at Liu Ya, who quickly ran to the door to guard and let the wind go.
"I sealed several large acupuncture points all over his body, making it look like he had a stroke. The military doctors are not good enough and can't tell at all, so don't worry."
Li Nian nodded and asked again: "That Luo Sheng, at first glance, he is just a piece of shit. If he is around, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
Li Man'er smiled and said: "I want him to do bad things. Don't worry, Third Uncle, it's better to do bad things!"
"You think Luo Sheng is a fool, but Concubine Luo Guifei is not a fool. If something comes to light in the future, how should you and I deal with it?"
"If he misses the chance to fight, his death will be in vain. Third uncle thinks, in the eyes of the Holy Emperor, which is more important, a mere concubine, or is it more important to defeat the barbarians and be remembered in history?"
What a loud tone!
Li Nianxin said that in Li Man'er's eyes, the imperial concubine was just a mere word.
But what is it about being famous in history?
"Man'er, although the Holy One values the country and the country very seriously, he doesn't completely ignore the imperial concubine's thoughts! You must know that the Luo family's status in the court is not entirely due to the imperial concubine."
"I know the importance, but third uncle, do you believe me?" Li Man'er looked into Li Nian's eyes with burning eyes and asked, "Third uncle, do you trust me?"
I don't know why, but facing such a pair of eyes, Li Nian felt speechless.
"Of course I believe you."
Li Maner said confidently: "Then everyone will wait and see!"
