This statement shocked Fu Ciyi and others.

Long Chi'an said quickly: "No one else?"

Long Yi snorted and laughed: "The people in the Ministry of War are all armchair warriors, so it doesn't matter if they don't come. The generals originally stationed in Beijing were mainly from the Ling family and the Lou family, so it doesn't matter if we don't mention these two families. The others probably feel that the current predicament is too great, and if they go out to fight, they may never come back, so no one wants to be the first to do so."

Hearing the emperor's frankness, Shi Yu guessed quietly: "Maybe they are all waiting and watching."

No one knew what was wrong with his son, he actually wanted to go to the border to fight the enemy.

Seeing Princess Rui and so many young people, he understood that his son not only had a deep love for his wife, but also had a strong loyalty to defend his country.

"There is no time to lose now." Long Yi said in a deep voice, and turned to look at the young people standing below with satisfaction, "I am very pleased that you can come."

He knew very well that these people came only for Wen Yu and Fu Ning's sake.

At the same time, he was also happy that his legitimate son could receive such support.

"Father, we have to continue recruiting soldiers under the current circumstances." Fu Ciyi said, "I also want to go to the battlefield. I hope you will approve it."

Long Yi wanted to say that he was the legitimate son, but then he thought that Long Shuyun, Shi Yucai and Long Chi'an had the same son, and even Long Chi'an had to go to the battlefield, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, Father!" Fu Ciyi bowed, "The people we have now will be assigned to different battlefields."

Long Yi nodded, turned his head and instructed Eunuch Han: "Go to the Ministry of War and the various royal palaces."

We have to call over those idiots in the Ministry of War and all his rebellious sons.

Eunuch Han understood the emperor's meaning and respectfully said he was leaving.

However, just moments after Eunuch Han left, someone from the Ministry of War arrived with an urgent report.

"Report——"

The man stumbled into the hall, prostrated himself on the ground, holding several documents in his hands.

Immediately, a eunuch presented the document to Long Yi.

"What's the matter?" Long Yi asked in a deep voice as he opened the document.

"Three more vassal states have launched a war against our Dajing. Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent. Please make a decision as soon as possible!"

Long Yi read through several documents at a glance. The documents basically talked about the war situation on the border, which made his brows furrowed more and more.

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although we all expected that other countries would take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, we didn't expect it to happen so soon.

With Dajing's strength, it would be a piece of cake to deal with a country alone.

The current situation is much more difficult than they imagined.

Long Yi threw the document aside and gave an order directly: "All officials above the fifth rank in the capital, whether civil or military, should be summoned to the palace."

Regardless of whether they can lead the troops or not, all those generals must go into battle.

As for the civil servants, those who have some skills could be allowed to come to the main hall to show off their eloquence.

Long Shuyun also sweatdropped: "Your Majesty, this is the only way to deal with this matter."

In less than an hour, dozens of ministers had arrived in the hall.

After hearing that the war was becoming more complicated and the situation was getting worse, everyone was filled with indignation.

Long Yi took the opportunity to ask: "Are you willing to serve the country and go to the border to defend against the enemy?"

As soon as these words were asked, the hall suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, a great general stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I am old. If I could be twenty years younger, I would definitely fight in the battlefield."

Long Yi moved his back teeth. He looked to be only in his early sixties.

This man usually looks full of energy, but now he looks old and frail.

"In that case, why don't you retire and miss your hometown?"

The minister choked and didn't know how to respond. Long Yi raised his eyebrows and was about to say something else when he heard a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to fight, and so are my sons and grandsons."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yan Laoguo coming with his three sons and two grandsons.

Every step was vigorous.

Long Yi was shocked.

In this situation, he didn't know what to say.

In addition to Yan Honghou and Yan Xinghe who had already been in the palace, except for Yan Bojian who went to the battle more than a month ago, almost all the men of the Yan family were here.

Yan De bowed to the emperor on the dragon throne and said, "When Dajing was in trouble, my Yan family took the lead and charged into battle. Although my hair looks gray, I am actually not old. I have three sons. The eldest son is brave and good at fighting. His ability to kill generals and capture flags is well known. The second and third sons are also capable of breaking through barriers."

Although the second and third sons are not very smart and their actions are not smooth enough, they are definitely not bad on the battlefield and are both good at killing enemies.

"I have five grandsons. Three of them are already on the battlefield. The remaining four can fight the enemy."

"I have two grandsons-in-law. I won't talk about the ability of His Royal Highness Prince Rui. Yuan Yi is a man who understands strategy and tactics and can be appointed as a general."

Long Yi nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, okay!"

"Has my father-in-law forgotten me?" King Cheng Long Ye walked quickly over and lifted his robe as he entered the hall.

It’s true that he is a prince, but he is also the son-in-law of the Yan family.

His father-in-law didn't even mention him, but his two grandsons-in-law did, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Do you think he is not a good leader?
Yan De looked at him with a smile, and said to everyone with a loud laugh: "Such awareness is only possessed by my son-in-law, Yan De!"

Everyone laughed.

I laughed and was shocked.

Firstly, it was shocking that almost all the men in the Yan family came out, and secondly, it was shocking that the feud between Old Duke Yan and the emperor could not be resolved in any way.

And at this moment, it seems that in the face of national crisis, any festivals are just minor internal disputes.

Look at the general who just said that he was old, and now he is comparing himself with Duke Yan.

See you all.

In an instant, many young generals were excited by the Yan family's behavior and stepped forward to request to fight.

Long Yi pointed at the general who just said he was old and said, "You, retire and go back to your hometown."

The general choked and quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am an old subject. I can still fight, I can still fight..."

Long Yi was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. He waved his hand and the Royal Guards came forward and carried the man out.

As a result, many more people signed up to join the war.

The problem of talented generals was temporarily solved, and Long Yi began to worry about the soldiers.

Yan Cheng took a few steps towards the dragon throne and said to Long Yi in a low voice, "Your Majesty, your father has something to say to you in private."

Long Yi nodded and ordered the others to return to their homes for the time being and await orders. He then personally took the Yan family to the imperial study.

Yan Funing, who was waiting in the side hall, heard that many people from the Yan family had come, so she chased after them.

"Grandfather, Daddy, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, why are you all here?"

Yan Cheng smiled and touched the top of Yan Funing's head: "We came here today after careful consideration."

"Girl, listen together." Yan De stretched out his arm towards Yan Funing.

Yan Funing immediately supported him and said, "Grandfather, you don't want to go out and kill the enemy?"

"Yes, it's the Yan family's duty." Yan De smiled kindly, "Don't worry, little girl."

Yan Funing nodded and said to Long Yi who was walking in front of her: "Father, my Yan family has been loyal for generations. Can the past conflicts between the Yan family and you be written off?" (End of this chapter)
