Houmen's wife

Chapter 288
The ministers are half in peace and half in war.The prime minister's rice line has suffered a lot since the last battle in northern Mongolia, and General Shi proposed twelve taxes that day.From now on, we need to prepare more for big events.

Just as the prime minister was about to speak, the emperor said, "Dear dear ministers, have you thought of a suitable candidate?"

All the civil and military officials glanced at each other, isn't it General Shi leading the army?The emperor made such a proposal, could it be that there are other candidates?
General Shi raised his eyes, and his gaze skipped over the people present.There was a slight smug look in his eyes.Apart from myself, is there anyone else who dares to lead the army?

Suddenly, a voice broke the quiet hall.

"Your Majesty, why don't you choose your son-in-law, Yue Renxuan, to lead the army."

Everyone followed the sound, and it was today's celebrity Wang Xiangyang who spoke.As soon as these words came out, it hit the prime minister's arms, and this military power needs such an opportunity to obtain it.He couldn't help but look at Wang Xiangyang more.

Yue Da also looked over and wanted to win him over earlier. Although he was erratic, he could still help at critical times.He nodded, looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Quan'er is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he knows a lot about the use of soldiers. I think the son-in-law is the best candidate."

The emperor glanced at General Shi who had changed his face below, it seemed that the Prime Minister and General Shi were about to tear each other apart.The emperor narrowed his smile, and asked: "What do you love?"

Minister of the Ministry of War took a step forward, "No. Your Majesty, although the son-in-law is already the servant of the Ministry of War, he has never led troops to fight. This march is probably..."

The emperor nodded and looked towards the prime minister.

The prime minister narrowed his eyes, indeed.Renxuan has never led troops. If he really wanted to lead troops, he might not be able to convince the soldiers below. The only way is to find someone who has been leading troops all year round and is well-respected to assist him.

General Shi bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the general is willing to serve Dajin!"

"Shi Aiqing, you are getting old now, and you have lost a lot of generals since the last time you went to the north. I want you to rest and recuperate well. Don't let me down." The emperor leaned forward with a caring attitude color.

It's good that the emperor didn't mention it, but as soon as General Shi was mentioned, he wanted to stab the false lieutenant general at home with a sword. He squinted his eyes, looked at the prime minister viciously, and clenched his hands into fists.

Seeing that General Shi's complexion had changed, the emperor looked at Anpinghou now, with a full smile on his face, "Anpinghou, do you have a way to have both?"

Marquis Anping raised his eyes slightly, glanced at General Shi, and said just now: "Why don't you let General Shi be your deputy and help the son-in-law."

"Bastard!" Minister of the Ministry of War stood up and looked at Marquis Anping with wide eyes.General Shi is the highest commander in the army, why should he be the deputy of that yellow-haired boy!
General Shi narrowed his eyes and his expression became serious.

Wang Xiangyang cupped his hands, with a humble face, "Your Majesty, I have a proposal."

The corner of the emperor's mouth curled into a smile, "Please tell me, Ai Qing."

"Your Majesty, why don't you invite Vice-General Hua to oversee the army? Vice-General Hua has led the army for many years and is loyal. Most of the soldiers are respectful. With Vice-General Hua's help, we will definitely be able to complete the strategy for southern Xinjiang this time."

The prime minister's eyes lit up, yes.Why didn't you think of Lieutenant Hua?
As soon as the generals heard that the Vice General Hua was going to be dug up to help the prime minister's mansion, they felt a fire in their hearts.The Minister of the Ministry of War wanted to say more, but when he didn't want to, his hand was smashed with a force, and his mouth was numb.He turned his head and saw General Shi squinting his eyes slightly shaking his head, although he was puzzled, he didn't speak again.

The corners of General Shi's mouth curled up slightly, and he glanced at the prime minister's complacent expression, a sneer appeared on his face.Did you think that this time Yue Renxuan led the army to gain military power?I see that your bamboo basket fetches water in vain!

This vice general Hua is not yours right now.But looking at Yue Changhui's appearance of winning, I think what Lieutenant Lai Hua said was true.This Yue Changhui has long had the desire to seize power!

General Shi gritted his teeth and turned his head away, Yue Changhui, just wait for me!

The prime minister stood up, "What Mr. Wang said is true." He smiled and looked at Lieutenant General Hua who was silent at the side.Lieutenant General Hua lowered his head slightly, his face neither humble nor overbearing.But he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the current crisis in southern Xinjiang, the general hopes to serve the Emperor."

General Shi narrowed his smile, and said to the emperor: "If Vice General Hua goes out in person, I will feel at ease."

The emperor laughed when he heard the words, and said to the ministers: "What do you think?"

"Very good, very good."

The emperor ordered Jiang Qianrong to issue an imperial edict, and then he announced his withdrawal from the court.

The prime minister was very happy today, and he took Yue Da back to the prime minister's mansion.He didn't look at General Shi's expression at all.

The Minister of the Ministry of War secretly hated watching the prime minister and his party leave the Golden Luan Hall, his face was full of anger, "General Shi, why did you give that Yue Renxuan a chance!"

General Shi patted him on the shoulder, but he smiled in his heart, "They won't be proud for long." As he spoke, General Shi raised his sleeves and left.

The Minister of the Ministry of War only said that General Shi had a good plan, so naturally he didn't ask much.Seeing this, all the military officers had no choice but to bow their heads and follow them out.

After leaving the palace gate, the Marquis of Anping saw Xiao Anzi standing still and looking at the traveling carriage, and then he said with a smile: "Why? Which girl did you see?"

Xiao Anzi was embarrassed by what was said, turned around and said: "Master, this slave just saw that Second Master's face is not good."

Marquis Anping raised his eyebrows, and after getting into the carriage, he said in a deep voice, "Go home."

"Yes, sir." The carriage drove on the avenue, the man in the carriage closed his eyes slightly, and leaned lazily against the window, a strand of black hair hanging on his chest, and the wide-sleeved purple robe followed him with his hand raised , showing her white arms.

The bewitching red lips under his almost transparent cheeks were slightly pursed.

After the prime minister and Yue Da returned to the prime minister's mansion, they immediately asked for Yue Renxuan to be brought back.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the mansion, Jiang Qianrong brought the imperial doctor into the mansion with his back foot.

Jiang Qianrong looked at the prime minister with a smile and said: "The emperor and the concubine Shi are very concerned about Princess Feiran, and the slaves dare not delay. They will bring the imperial physician here soon." He backed away, and behind him was a man half as tall as Jiang Qianrong. tall boy.The boy cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Liu Ye has met the Prime Minister."
