At this moment, everyone believed that Zhao Huan took control of Yizhou not just for profit. This guy is really capable of giving Jin Bing a try!
After a moment of surprise, the hall fell into a heated debate.
"Although King Ding's strategy is risky, it is still the best way at the moment."
"Nonsense! If Yizhou Prefecture cannot withstand the fierce attack of the Ever Victorious Army, isn't it the same as surrendering Yizhou Prefecture?"
"Since you have a better plan than King Ding, you should tell me and let me open my eyes!"
"Hmph, I'm not the governor of Yizhou, why should I be asked to make suggestions?"
"Then shut up!"
Seeing all the officials arguing, Zhao Ji was very unhappy. It was not until everyone noticed that Zhao Ji looked ugly that the endless debate finally subsided.
Zhao Ji didn't care about the factions above the court. He only cared about whether Yizhou could be defended and whether the Ever Victorious Army could be wiped out.
"King Ding, I don't care what strategy you use to defeat the enemy, you only need to answer me, how certain are you of holding Yizhou Mansion and defeating the ever-victorious army?"
Zhao Huan didn't hesitate at all and blurted out: "Ten percent!"
This answer once again caused an uproar.
Although the officials were wary of His Majesty and did not dare to ridicule him, some people could not help but whisper.
"Ten percent? You talk too much, be careful with your tongue!"
"What a big joke. Even if the Tiger Wing Army sticks to the city and has reinforcements to support it, it may not be able to defeat the Ever-Victorious Army."
"Isolated and helpless, with many enemies and few, and limited everywhere, how dare you boast that you will win?"
Zhao Ji did not expect Zhao Huan to answer so simply, and his mood was complicated. He always felt that Zhao Huan's words were exaggerated.
“It’s hard to convince people with empty words, but do you have evidence?”
Feeling Zhao Ji's questioning gaze, Zhao Huan was still confident.
"The certificate is His Majesty's amnesty quota!"
"As long as I defeat the Ever Victorious Army, Zheng Qingyun's guilt can be completely cleared."
"Even if it is to make Zheng Qingyun hold his head high and marry into the prince's palace upright, I will never lose!"
Now Zhao Ji has no choice but to believe in Zhao Huan: "Within one month, no matter what method you use, as long as you can defeat the Changsheng Army and kill Gao Tuoshan, I will personally issue an edict to pardon Zheng Qingyun."
"Not only that, I also made her the county queen."
County Lord is a title for women. Although it is just an honorary title, as long as Zheng Qingyun is granted the title, Zhao Huan will no longer be hindered from marrying Zheng Qingyun.
Zhao Huan naturally agreed without any hesitation.
But the Cai clique members present gave out gloomy sneers.
"This idiot actually agreed. Didn't he hear His Majesty's words clearly? Within a month, not only will the Ever Victorious Army be defeated, but Gao Tuoshan will also be killed."
"Just killing Gao Tuoshan is already difficult to achieve."
"Zhao Huan is finished this time!"
The happiest person at the scene was undoubtedly Cai Jing. He never expected that His Majesty would pose such a difficult problem to Zhao Huan, but Zhao Huan agreed!
If Zhao Huan previously promised to defeat the Ever Victorious Army within a month, there is still a slight possibility.
So now, Zhao Huan has completely dug a hole to bury himself.
Defeating the Ever Victorious Army and killing Gao Tuoshan are two great feats that are indispensable. Who in the world can do it?!
Cai Jing immediately saluted Zhao Ji hypocritically: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Led by Cai Jing, all the officials at the scene also echoed and shouted wisely.
Zhao Ji had already left the difficult problem to Zhao Huan and left the court directly. When the officials left together, they naturally pointed at Zhao Huan and kept talking.
Han Mulu was so excited that he put his hands behind his back and walked with a breeze: "What does that say? If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy."
"One month later, Zhao Huan was dismissed from his post and investigated. Those who have grievances will seek revenge, and those who have grievances will complain."
All the party members also continued to laugh at him.
"If Zhao Huan can achieve such a feat, it will only happen if the sun rises in the west."
"I'm afraid this fool doesn't know that Gao Tuoshan has already been colluding with Jin Bing. With the support of Jin Bing, Zhao Huan is just like throwing an egg against a stone."
"Everyone, just wait and see the good show, hahaha."
On the way out of the palace, there were many civil and military officials, but no one wanted to approach Zhao Huan.
Even officials who strive for neutrality have no expectations for Zhao Huan.
On the imperial road paved with white marble, Zhao Huan's solitary figure looked extremely indifferent, which undoubtedly further fueled the arrogance of Cai's party members.
As everyone knows, Zhao Huan was in a good mood at this time.
"I didn't expect that the harvest from entering the palace would be so rich."
"Not only did he get the amnesty quota, but he also made Zheng Qingyun the county king. As long as he kills Gao Tuoshan, Zheng Qingyun will no longer have to worry."
When he thought of this, Zhao Huan couldn't help laughing.
This laughter naturally attracted a lot of scorn and ridicule.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"He is a madman!"
"Stay away from him, don't let him contaminate you with his bad luck."
"We will see the outcome in a month. Please be patient and wait until Prince Ding's palace falls apart."
All the Cai faction members shook their sleeves, laughed and left.
Changfu, who had been waiting outside the palace, saw Zhao Huan finally coming out and hurriedly came to greet him.
"Your Majesty, Wang Daquan has recruited a group of servants, please go and check them out."
Hearing this, Zhao Huan couldn't help but be surprised: "So fast? Wang Daquan's work efficiency is too high, right?"
Changfu's face looked a little strange, as if he had something unspeakable to hide. After much hesitation, he still didn't dare to mention it: "Anyway... you can see for yourself and you will know."
"Wang Daquan, in order to complete the task assigned by the prince, is so blatantly opportunistic!"
Opportunistic?
Zhao Huan suddenly became more interested and immediately followed Changfu to the Jiaofang Division.
Since Zhao Huan had no real estate in Bianjing and had nowhere to place the servants he recruited, they were all temporarily placed in Jiaofangsi.
By the time Zhao Huan arrived at Jiaofangsi, the courtyard was already crowded with people. It was estimated that there were at least fifty or sixty people, and they were all burly men.
Judging from the way these people dress, they are all poor people at the bottom of society.
The strange thing is...
These people are all in good shape and have a height of six feet!
"Wang Daquan, where did you find so many strong men?"
Facing Zhao Huan's excited inquiry, Wang Daquan lowered his head and knelt down as if he had done something wrong.
"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"I really can't find a suitable candidate, so I can only take advantage of opportunities... If the prince becomes angry because of this, I am willing to be punished."
What is this word?
Zhao Huan was confused for a while: "You are so efficient in doing things, why should I punish you?"
Wang Daquan's face became even more ugly: "These people...are coming from evil ways."
