The emperor looked at Tong Sansi and Wei Yong who had returned from the Imperial College: "Tong Aiqing, Wei Aiqing, in your opinion, what should we do at this time?"
Tong Sansi held up the imperial hut and went out: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the bandits be suppressed. The centipede will be dead but not dead. This is the traitor of the White Lotus Sect. The traitor of the White Lotus Sect has taken root in the south of the Yangtze River since the late emperor was alive, and has spread its roots in various places.
There are so many, and what the Protector has destroyed is just a small group of members of the White Lotus Sect. If they are allowed to continue to grow, they will definitely cause disaster!"
"I agree, but the White Lotus Sect has been rooted in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. It has become so deep-rooted that it will be difficult to annihilate it without a big fight! However, although Northern Xinjiang is relatively peaceful and trouble-free now, the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang are still unable to mobilize to suppress the rebellion.
Relying on the government soldiers will achieve nothing except striking grass and alerting the enemy. Suppressing the bandit commander will be a difficult problem."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to suppress the bandits! Give me five thousand soldiers and horses, and I will definitely capture the White Lotus Cult!"
Wu Guogong Wan Buhai came out of the procession holding the imperial hut, looking at the emperor eagerly, and wanted to take over the task of suppressing the bandits this time.
The emperor looked at Wan Buhai hesitantly: "Wan Aiqing, the White Lotus Sect is complex and the suppression of bandits will not take a day or two. Let's discuss the candidates again!"
Wan Buhai looked at Li Zheng with a crimson look on his face: "Doesn't His Majesty dislike that the old minister is too old to be reused?"
"Wan Aiqing, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. Who doesn't know that Wan Aiqing, when you were guarding Jeju, you killed the Turks so that they did not dare to go south. It's just that suppressing bandits is different from guarding the border. The rebels are cunning and can't be defeated by hiding in the mountains and forests."
It's been a few months. I'm worried about Wan Aiqing's health. The south of the Yangtze River is not as humid as the north. I'm worried about your body, Aiqing."
"My body is fine. Your Majesty, I only have a few years left to live. Let me ride a war horse and fight once more, and do my last bit for the dragon!"
Wan Buhai knelt on his knees, his forehead tightly touching the white marble in the Golden Palace.
The civil and military officials in the court looked at Duke Wu with emotion, only to realize that Wan Buhai's beard and hair were now white.
It is saddening for a hero to grow old and for a beauty to grow old.
Liu Mingzhi sighed deeply: "Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and they are not allowed to grow old in the world!"
Li Zheng looked at Wan Buhai hesitantly. He really didn't want to see Wan Buhai still struggling at his age, but he also understood Wan Buhai's thoughts.
After half my life as a soldier, I suddenly became idle and felt empty in my heart!
"My old prince, please don't embarrass me. The candidate for the bandit suppression is yet to be discussed. As for whether you want to ride a war horse on the battlefield, I promise you that in five years, after waiting for about five years, you will lead the northern Xinjiang army again.
Is this okay when I leave the border?"
Wan Buhai looked at the emperor with scarlet eyes: "Can I go out of the border to the Prancing Horse Grassland again?"
"Of course, Heshuo and Hetao are Dalong's territories. The Turks have occupied them for too long and it's time to take them back!"
Wan Buhai nodded with trembling lips: "I obey the decree, I will risk my life to live for another five years! Go north to the border to regain the territory for Your Majesty!"
The emperor looked at Wan Buhai solemnly: "Old Duke, you have to hold on for the dragon. The late emperor didn't want you heroes to go see him so early!"
"I, Wanbuhai, obey your decree!"
The emperor pondered for a while: "Now the new recruits of the Six Guards are about to go to the northern Xinjiang to garrison, leaving two guards with 5,000 troops each to wait for the suppression of bandits. Suppression of bandits is not as good as fighting. The cunning of bandits is a protracted war. Who loves you?
I am willing to take charge."
Many generals on the military attache's side are eager to take over this good job.
Liu Mingzhi shrugged and stretched. Suppressing bandits was a matter for military commanders, and there was no need for civil servants to get involved.
I can't even go if I want to, and besides, there are a lot of things about the department and artillery that are weighing on me, so I don't want to go either.
He reached out and scratched his back, ready to go back.
As long as the candidate is decided, this court meeting will be over.
The military generals were all on guard, fearing that this good job would be snatched away.
Cai Jun, Marquis of Rongwei, was about to go out to invite the emperor to fight.
"Liu Aiqing, next time you ask for a battle, just come out and speak. You raised your hands and didn't say anything. I almost ignored you. You, a civil servant, have the courage to ask for battle and suppress the bandits. This is Dalong's minister. All civil servants and military officers are commendable for their bravery.
!I’m sure, the person taking command to suppress the bandits this time is Tongyuan Bo Liu Aiqing.”
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Chao Wenwu looked in the direction of Young Master Liu, and saw Young Master Liu holding up his right hand with a dull expression.
"I just raised my hand to scratch it!"
Young Master Liu looked at the emperor's approval expression with a dull expression and was speechless. Fighting in a war is a matter for military commanders, okay?
"Your Majesty, I have objections. Uncle Tongyuan is a civil servant. How can he take command to suppress bandits? What if the sword without eyes hurts Uncle Tongyuan!"
Of course Cai Jun, the Honorable Marquis of Rongwei, doesn’t want to see the credit he has received just run away like this!
"I second the proposal. There are many generals among you. Your Majesty lets a civilian official take command to suppress the bandits. Wouldn't it make the world laugh at the lack of generals?"
"I second the proposal. I am willing to take over Tongyuan Bo's place in suppressing the bandits!"
"I am also willing. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to let a civilian officer command the troops? I am willing to suppress the bandits."
The eyes of a bunch of generals were almost red with regret, and they couldn't help but blame themselves for being so reserved. Now that it's better, all the credit for just a moment's work is gone.
My intestines have turned green, isn’t it?
Liu Mingzhi looked at these generals with a sincere expression, "Good people, they are all good people."
"What's wrong with the civil servants? Why can't the civil servants take charge? Are you looking for trouble?"
"Master Du is right, a civil servant becomes a general when he mounts his horse, but can a military general read when he dismounts?"
"That's right, who said that civil servants can't fight in wars? Emperor Taizu's counselor Zhang Baizhan led an army of 100,000 troops to Mobei. Isn't that also a civil servant?"
"I'm sleeping with your mother, so you can interrupt me!"
"He is a rude martial artist like his mother, I am ashamed to be associated with him!"
"Your mother, what's the matter with you? Just hold your pen. Why are you meddling in the war? It's easy to just eat carrots and worry less. You have to worry so much that you're not afraid of getting tired!"
"Damn it, you wouldn't even be able to put on your trousers without us preparing food and trucks, and you would still be fighting!"
"I'm sleeping with your daughter's mother-in-law. You're still writing and reading without us conquering the city. You've already gone to the northwest. You don't know what's good or bad."
"The other's mother"
"Sleep with your mother"
Young Master Liu looked at the civil and military officials spitting at each other with great interest. Although such scenes were not uncommon, he still watched with gusto.
It's much more interesting than my wife.
The emperor looked at the civil and military officials of the court with a dark face: "That's enough, this is the Jinluan Palace, not your bedside, why don't you lose face!"
"I know my guilt!"
A single saying goes to silence the quarrel.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
The emperor looked at Song Yu: "Song Aiqing, please speak!"
Song Yu glanced at Young Master Liu with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, although Lord Liu is a civil servant, he is also a casual official of General Xuanwei, the third rank of the Binglong Military Guard. He can command 10,000 troops and horses and just lead the army to suppress bandits. There is nothing wrong with that!"
Li Zheng looked at Song Yu with satisfaction: "Aiqing's words make sense!" He looked at the military attachés calmly: "My dear friends, it's not that I didn't give you a chance, it's that you were hesitant. Liu Aiqing also holds a military position and is in command.
It’s okay!”
"Your Majesty, Mr. Liu has never fought in a war!"
Song Yu looked at the general indifferently: "General Cen, Master Liu also has a name, don't forget it! A handsome man in white!"
All the civil and military officers in the court looked at Young Master Liu at the same time. If Song Yu hadn't mentioned it, they would have really given this to me.
This lord was the one who won a great victory with 70,000 men against 400,000 men. In the first battle of the Jin Kingdom, he directly became one of the famous generals in the world.
It's just that this guy is so lazy that in more than a year he almost lost the title given to him by Jin Guoren and the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang!
General Cen glanced at Young Master Liu with a twitching face, waved his sleeves and stepped back!
Liu Mingzhi looked at Song Yu helplessly, "Uncle, uncle, you really dislike me for not being busy enough!"
The emperor looked at the imperial edict on the dragon case strangely. It started with the word "marriage".
He solemnly stamped the seal, rolled up the imperial edict and handed it to the Ouchi Superintendent!
"Liu Aiqing will be in charge of suppressing bandits in the south of the Yangtze River!"
