Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 1302 The Silly Mr. Xing's Family

For food, grass and weapons, more than half of the taxes have been collected, and the household department has transferred money, and food, grass and weapons are not a problem.

If these soldiers and horses are gathered together, a huge army can also be gathered, but the difficulty is the choice of the leader of the army.

The ministers quarreled in the court because of this candidate.

At the end of the quarrel, the elder Shangguan took the risk of offending the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I think that now is not the best time to attack Dayong. Now Dayong has a strong army, and the Rong people are cruel by nature. Just like ferocious beasts and evil spirits, on the other hand, our Great Chu side has not many elite soldiers available. For the current plan, we should recharge our energy and cultivate generals who can defeat the enemy camp. Ten years later, we should plan to capture the troops. thing."

He didn't say anything about the successive years of catastrophes in the Great Chu and the rise of public grievances due to the increase in taxes.

But Emperor Jingyuan still turned dark, and with a bang, he slammed his palm heavily on the handle of the dragon chair, and angrily scolded the elder Shangguan: "Shangguan Cong, I asked you to recommend the commander who will lead the army to attack Dayong, not to tear down the stage. ! Are you dissatisfied with me when you grow others’ ambitions and destroy your own prestige? Are you dissatisfied with Da Chu? Or do you want to go to Da Rong?!”

Shangguan Pavilion was shocked. He did not expect the emperor to say such a thing. He knelt down with a plop and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down, I will eat the king's salary. In this life, I only wish to die for the sake of the great Chu. I have no other intentions." what!"

Emperor Jing Yuan snorted coldly: "I'm sorry you don't dare."

As he said that, he ignored the elder Shangguan, looked at the ministers, and said: "Which of the ministers can you choose to be the commander-in-chief of this expedition?"

Uh, more than half of the ministers in the hall wanted to hide in the ground, so that Emperor Jing Yuan could not see him.

Emperor Jing Yuan's face was heavy, and he cursed in his heart, a bunch of white-collar salarymen, when he wiped out Dayong, the next step was to clean up the imperial court and replace all these people who were eating without food!
Emperor Jing Yuan turned his eyes and looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of War is surnamed Dai, and he took office six years ago. He is far behind the previous Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Seeing that Emperor Jing Yuan was furious, he was afraid that his position would be lost, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, I think that this time The commander of the next expedition to the army must be Old Duke Xing."

He also said: "Old Duke Xing is one of the six founders of the country, with outstanding military achievements. Five years ago, he led the army to quell the military disasters in various provinces and stabilize the Northwest Army. He will definitely be qualified to be the commander of this expedition."

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was silent.

"What did you say?!" Emperor Jing Yuan stared at the Minister of War with murderous eyes, is this Dai an idiot?How old is Mr. Xing? Last year, he was ill. Let alone sending him out to fight, he might die halfway through wearing heavy armor. How dare someone surnamed Dai recommend him?

Five years ago, he would have Mr. Xing in charge to quell the chaos, because Mr. Xing and Mr. Wei had been friends for decades, and they were both one of the six founders of the country. They fought the world with their grandfather. Well, the Northwest Army is the former Ministry of Duke Wei, and will sell the face of Duke Xing.

But now the war against the army is not the same thing as the rebellion of the Northwest Army.

Useless things!
Emperor Jing Yuan scolded in his heart, looked at Elder Ying Ge, and said, "Master Ying, you are a minister of the Great Chu Zhu Kingdom, what's your opinion, but it's okay to say."

When Ming Shaoqing saw that his daughter-in-law's grandfather was being named, he didn't even move his eyebrows, because of the elder's ability, it was easy to deal with such things.

Sure enough, Boss Ying said humanely: "Your Majesty, the old minister has three candidates."

Three candidates?
Emperor Jing Yuan was overjoyed: "Speak quickly, Ai Qing!"

Boss Ying said humanely: "Your Majesty, Duke Yuan's family is also one of the six founders of the country. Take command of Faron."

Emperor Jing Yuan's originally smiling face sank.

The Duke of Yuan's family is indeed good, but the Duke of Yuan's family is the queen's natal family, and he has an army of nearly one million under the command of his relatives. Can he still sleep at night?
Mr. Ying knew very well that Emperor Jing Yuan would not choose the Duke of the Yuan Kingdom, and said: "The second candidate is the Duke of England. The Duke of England is also one of the six founders of the country. The Duke of England and his descendants are all good at martial arts, so they can also be in command. Go out."

But the Duke of England and the Duke of Wei used to be relatives by marriage, and the relationship between the two families is very good. This time, the army was stationed in the northwest. The Duke of Wei has three generations of guards in the northwest. Will he turn his head to avenge the Duke of Wei? !

Emperor Jing Yuan was suspicious by nature, and he became more sensitive and suspicious after returning from the disaster of the Great Rong. It was impossible for this kind of thing to happen, so he didn't speak.

Master Ying understood, and continued: "There is another person who is General Xu. Five years ago, General Xu accompanied Old Duke Xing to quell the chaos. The qualifications are still young, but it is not impossible to take command and go out."

After Ming Shaoqing heard this, he laughed in his heart, Mr. Ying is really powerful, among these three candidates, the emperor can only choose General Xu.

But when General Xu was young, he was praised by the Duke of Wei in the Western Beijing camp. The emperor was not at ease to let General Xu be in command. Most likely, he should let Old Duke Xing be in command, and General Xu be the chief general. .

And this time, unless the magic soldiers descend from the sky, they will lose. General Xu is not an idiot, he is very shrewd, and he will definitely listen to Old Duke Xing when the time comes...Old Lord Xing is getting old quickly He is buried in the ground, and he will definitely bring his two sons with him on this expedition, and it is very likely that his two sons will have the final say.

His eldest son and second son are both incompetent, and they will definitely make a mistake in judging the military plan. As long as General Xu obeys his orders, he can put the fault on Old Xing Guogong with a sentence of "obedience to orders" after the defeat, and put himself to death. Take it out.

So in the end, only the family of Xing Laoguo was used as a sacrifice to heaven.

Mr. Ying was not wrong, he recommended General Xu, not Mr. Xing.

It has to be said that Ming Shaoqing had already figured out Emperor Jing Yuan's temper very clearly. After a moment of silence, Emperor Jing Yuan finally said: "Xu You is indeed good, but he has never been a commander. This expedition is related to the foundation of the Great Chu. Don't ignore...Order, Old Duke Xing is the commander of the army, and Xu You is the leader of the army, let's attack the army together!"

The candidate for the head coach has been decided in this way, Mr. Ying went to Duke Xing's mansion to issue the imperial edict in person.

Old Duke Xing was in tears when he received the decree: "The old minister will definitely not disappoint His Majesty's trust, and will definitely make that big Rong thief pay the price for breaking Longshan Mansion!"

Old Duke Xing's two silly sons also happily accepted the order to thank them, each of them wished they could go out now and destroy Dayong.

Mrs. Ying smiled on his face, but also laughed in his heart: Heh, the six founders of the country are not as good as one family. I thought that Mr. Xing's family would have a good death, but this time, it seems that the whole family will be wiped out. It's pitiful. .
