When Jia Pingsheng was called, he stood up and chuckled unhurriedly and said: "How long can we old bones continue to work?"
"It is naturally good to give young people more opportunities."
After Jia Pingsheng finished speaking, the entire Zhengde Hall fell into a brief silence.
Liu Jing's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and Lu Zheng, the Minister of Rites, was also ashen.
On the other hand, Li Changkong and Liu Yu had relaxed expressions on their faces.
After Emperor Jing Xing pondered for a moment, he said: "Congratulations Taibai, Chen Dao, come forward to hear the seal."
He Taibai and Chen Dao looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Then they walked out quickly, knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I'm here!"
"First of all, He Taibai will be promoted to the director of the Baochao Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Chen Dao will be promoted to the director of the Ink Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs. They will take office immediately!"
As soon as this statement came out, all civil and military officials knew that the overall situation had been decided.
He Taibai and Chen Dao even kowtowed and said, "I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness. I will certainly live up to the entrustment of the Holy One."
Emperor Jing Xing nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Now that we have settled the matter, let's talk about the second matter."
"Ma Rulong, let your military department do the talking."
Hearing this, Ma Rulong stood up and said, "My lords, as of last week, although the Yizhou rebellion is still very powerful, it has already weakened."
"Sheng Jin, the governor of Jiaozhou, is well versed in the art of war. He has fought steadily and survived the most dangerous period. He is steadily consuming the effective strength of the Yizhou rebels. Now, the fight against the rebellion has reached the most critical moment!"
"A few days ago, Sheng Jin sent a report, stating that if the imperial court can send reinforcements to help the Jiaozhou Army, it will definitely eradicate the Yizhou rebels in one fell swoop."
"What we need to discuss today is who should lead the army to support Jiaozhou and completely eliminate the Yizhou rebels!"
As soon as these words came out, the dull atmosphere just now was swept away, and joy filled the hall.
In addition to the sea in the east, Daqian is bounded by the Kingdom of Jin in the west, the Kingdom of Chen in the south, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the north, which is a headache for even the great Chu of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a real place of the Four Wars!
Normally, the reason why Daqian is stable in all directions is because there are generals stationed on all sides, or they are blocked by natural dangers.
Coupled with the strong national power of Daqian, everything is at peace.
But if Daqian shows its weakness to the outside world, it may soon be targeted by neighboring countries.
Therefore, the Yizhou rebellion must not only be put down, but must be put down quickly!
But no one expected that a mere magistrate of Yizhou who had never led an army could raise the rebellion to such a high level.
As a result, the imperial court attacked for half a year, but still no results were seen.
It wasn't until Sheng Jin took action that the situation was stabilized.
Now, naturally, I couldn't be happier to hear that the rebellion is about to end.
"Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead the army there, and the Yizhou rebels can be pacified in a short time!" Zhang Xun stood up in the crowd, with a strong tone and a confident attitude.
As a noble leader, he has no shirk in facing this kind of thing.
Even the officials around him were not surprised when faced with this kind of thing. If Zhang Xun didn't go, who would? Can these civil servants go? Do not make jokes.
However, Zhang Xun's initiative to ask for help was met with silence from Emperor Jing Xing.
Jia Pingsheng took a step forward and said: "As I said before, how long can we old guys protect the dynasty? Nowadays, the world belongs to young people, so we should give young people more opportunities."
As soon as Jia Pingsheng said this, Zhang Xun immediately understood that the emperor already had a favorite candidate in mind, so he said: "I understand."
Then he took a step back and stood back in the honorable queue.
young people?
All the civil and military officials looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and then they all turned their attention to Li Changkong.
When it comes to the generals of the younger generation of Daqian, I am afraid it must be this one.
It seemed that the job was going to fall on him this time.
However, Emperor Jing Xing broke their speculation with one sentence: "Since no one recommends himself, let him be the prince."
When Liu Yu heard this, his whole body shivered. Instead of being thankful and happy, he was filled with fear.
Looking at Emperor Jing Xing on the dragon throne, he said cautiously: "Father, are you right?"
"Do you really want me to go?"
"You have no joke." Emperor Jingxing's majestic voice spread throughout the Zhengde Hall.
"In addition, you are leading an army for the first time and are involved in counterinsurgency. It is inevitable that you will not be able to do what you want."
"In that case, King Jing, let's go too."
"You and the other two will each lead 8,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, a total of 10,000 troops, and rush to Jiaozhou on a certain day."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yu finally understood that he was going to have a real sword fight with Liu Jing!
At present, his situation in the court can be said to be completely dominant. If he can take the lead in suppressing the rebellion before Liu Jing this time, then the position of the crown prince will basically be confirmed and it will be difficult to change.
On the other hand, Liu Jing must beat himself, otherwise he will have no chance of winning in the next game.
"I will obey the holy will and will go all out to put down the Yizhou rebellion as soon as possible." After Liu Yu thought about it carefully, he immediately knelt down to thank him.
"The same goes for my son." On the other side, Liu Jing and Liu Yu acted exactly the same, but their expressions were not very pretty.
This competition seems fair, but in fact... it is extremely unfair!
In addition to relying on one's own ability to lead troops in battle, the most important thing is the generals under his command.
Liu Yu originally had good relations with the Xungui Group, and outstanding young generals such as Li Changkong, Zhang Han, Jia Taisui, and Zhu Ben all followed his lead.
What about him?
Who does he have available to him?
No!
At least not on the surface!
He can only rely on himself alone!
From the looks of it, how can there be any fairness?
In this case, Liu Jing's eyes flickered several times, and he finally confirmed an idea in his heart.
He never wants to suffer such unfair treatment again!
"Do you have any plans to report?" Emperor Jing Xing said.
After the emperor's affairs were finished, it was naturally the ministers' turn to give advice.
After a brief silence, Zhong Yu stood up.
Said: "Your Majesty, Wei Xiang died mysteriously three days ago. Now the Ministry of Punishment has found out that the cause of his death was a strange smelling poison from the Western Jin Dynasty!"
"Colorless and odorless, once you become addicted, you will die suddenly if you don't take another drug within three days!"
"Later, the Criminal Department found the source of the poison in Wei Xiang's residence, followed the clues, and finally found out the real culprit who prevented the source of the poison!"
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials instantly became alert.
Often times like this are when the Ministry of Punishment has the most status.
"Who did it?"
"Centurion of the Qianlong Camp of the Royal Forest Army, Luan Jingtian!"
"Have you ever won it?"
"It has been captured, and after interrogation by the Criminal Department, a confession has been made."
"It is said that he was ordered by Lord Lu Zhenglu, the Minister of Rites."
boom!
As soon as these words came out, Lu Zheng's pupils immediately contracted, he turned around and stared at Zhong Yu, with a terrifying look of choosing people to devour.
Liu Jing also looked even more grim.
Lu Zheng had just revealed that he was his, and he was targeted in the blink of an eye. Why was it so quick?
It’s obvious that he has ulterior motives!
