The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 413 Sending off, the last condition (1)
This battle was initiated by North Korea first.When he came to the throne for the first time, if he avoided fighting instead of fighting, he would definitely be called weak and incompetent.Therefore, it is imperative to fight.

The only thing to decide now is who will lead the troops to fight in the northern border, and how to regain the lost ground and boost the country's prestige.

These civil and military officials who received the imperial salary all knew Zhao Shengqian's thoughts, but they all chose to remain silent.How can such an attitude make Zhao Shengqian feel happy?

Not only him, but also Sang Tiekun.

He didn't speak because he cared about his status as the head of the state.According to the regulations of the royal family of Chu State, foreign relatives are not allowed to hold power and interfere in politics.

If he opens his mouth, he will surely come to the truth, thinking that he is taking the opportunity to seize power for personal gain, secretly colluding with the queen to plot wrongdoing, enlarging the power of his relatives, interfering in government affairs, and so on.

That's why he kept silent all the time, even leading his cronies to avoid suspicion.

Zhao Shengqian also understood the truth, so he didn't call Sang Tiekun by name.

But I didn't want them to avoid suspicion, but it led to the fact that no one dared to stand up and say a word. Such a situation made the general Sang Tiekun so angry that his chest heaved unsteadily, and he almost couldn't help but stand up and volunteer. , to lead troops to northern Xinjiang.

"What's the matter? Our Great Chu is full of talents and heroes. Now that the country is in crisis, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty dare not even speak?" Zhao Shengqian's voice became cold and severe.

"The minister is guilty."

Anyway, admit your mistake first.

As soon as Zhao Shengqian finished speaking, all the officials shouted.They all understand the truth that the law does not blame the public. As long as everyone is united, no matter how angry the emperor is, there is nothing he can do about them.

"You!" Zhao Sheng was so angry that he almost burst into flames.

"Your Majesty, I believe that North Korea is acting against the heavens by provoking war regardless of the people of the two countries. How can I be bullied like this? We must send troops to frighten our country and protect our people. Drive out the North Korean wolves for Tianxingdao." Finally unable to bear it, Sang Tiekun stood up and spoke his mind.

Zhao Shengqian took a deep breath, and looked gratefully at his father-in-law.Finally someone picked up the topic here.

"The head of the country is right. This battle is imperative. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry must quickly prepare food, grass and other necessary materials for the army, and the Ministry of War must also quickly mobilize the army." Zhao Shengqian quickly decided on the order to face the battle.

"I will obey your orders."

Several adults who were named came out to take orders one after another.

"I've decided to go to the imperial conquest myself." Suddenly, Zhao Sheng's shocking words exploded in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty is absolutely impossible!"

These words were thrown among the officials, like thunder on the flat ground.After being stunned for a moment, everyone knelt down to dissuade them.

Just kidding, what is the battlefield?That's a place that eats people but doesn't spit out bones. When you get there, swords, guns, swords and halberds don't care whether you are the emperor or not.

What's more, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and a lot of waste is waiting to be done.How could he leave all his affairs behind and go to northern Xinjiang to take risks?
In fact, Zhao Shengqian didn't intend to conquest personally.He knows that his ability lies more in dealing with the government and the people's livelihood than in leading troops to fight and laying out the charge.

However, when he originally wanted the officials to nominate candidates for the expedition, he thought of the attitude of the officials before, so when he said it, it became the imperial conquest.

"Why? You don't want to go, and I can't force you with a knife on your neck. Now, I want to go in person, but you are not willing. If so, then tell me, who can take on this important task? Go to northern Xinjiang to fight back the enemy?" Zhao Chengqian looked at these despondent officials, his heart was both angry and sad.

"..."

All the officials fell silent unanimously, and the imperial study room became strangely quiet again.

"Say it! Why don't you say it? Since I won't let me go, which one of you will go? You! You! Or you?" Zhao Sheng slapped the table and stood with his right hand behind his back, looking down at the ministers, his handsome and gentle facial features covered There was a layer of ice.

The few military generals he saw with his eyes lowered their heads tacitly, almost wishing to tie their heads into their belts.

The opponent's commander is the famous God of War Emperor Go Zhiyou in North Korea. It is said that he has participated in battles since he was 15 years old, and he has not lost a single battle in all the battles he has fought.

The folk customs of North Korea are tough, and the quality of soldiers is higher than that of Chu soldiers.

No matter in terms of morale, opportunity or strength, Southern Chu could not compare with the prepared North Korea.

Who is willing to fight a battle that they know is difficult to win?It's good to win by luck, but if you lose, even if you save your life on the battlefield, you won't be able to leave a whole body in front of the emperor.

This is a deal that is not worthwhile, and no smart person will do it.

"Hmph, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags. What use do I need you? What use do the people of Great Chu want you?" Zhao Sheng raised his lips dryly, showing an extremely ironic smile.

Has the imperial court of Great Chu become so corrupt?
Could it be that in the end, the old man should be invited to go out and let General Sang go into battle?
Involuntarily, Zhao Shengqian's complicated eyes fell on Sang Tiekun.The latter comprehended the meaning in Zhao Shengqian's eyes, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

He is the general of Great Chu, and he should have defended his family and the country.Unexpectedly, to become the head of the country, he must hand over his military power and be a duke who enjoys his old age in vain. Now that he has this opportunity, he is naturally willing to sprinkle his blood on the land of northern Xinjiang.

"Okay! Since that's the case..."

"Since everyone doesn't want to go, let me go."

Before Zhao Shengqian could speak, he was suddenly interrupted by a proud and indifferent voice outside the door of the imperial study.

Pure Yuan Gong

Take off the dragon robe, unload the world, and forget the past. This place has become the resting place for Southern Chu Emperor Zhao Cong and Empress Dowager Qiao.

Even if North Korea suddenly sent troops, and the military event of overcoming several cities in Chu State within a few days spread to his ears, he still played with flowers and plants calmly.

Because, he believed that his son, the new emperor of Nanchu, could solve this problem.

There are no two days and no two masters. Since he is already the Supreme Emperor, he should no longer interfere in the affairs of the government and the military.

However, another son's request to go to the army caused Zhao Cong to be in a mess, which he couldn't understand.

In the side hall, the maids and servants were screened out, and only the father and son sat around the table, silent.

In the imperial study room, Zhao Shengqian had already rejected Zhao Shenghao's plea.It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhao Shenghao's ability, but that no one knows better than him the status of his younger brother in his father's heart.

Without Zhao Cong's permission, how dare he privately agree to let Zhao Shenghao take risks in northern Xinjiang?
After hastily finishing the agreement in the imperial study, Zhao Shengqian and Zhao Shenghao came to Chunyuan Palace together to meet Zhao Cong.
