Emperor Liang's eyes swept across the faces of the officials in the audience one by one, and finally stopped on Song Huan's face.
There is no more suitable candidate for this job other than the brat Lao Si.
Emperor Liang understood that training the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion required not only extraordinary skills, but also a unique sense of responsibility.
Looking at the entire court, the person whom Emperor Liang can trust the most now is undoubtedly the fourth prince!
However, before Emperor Liang could speak, he was interrupted by Qian Zhutong, the Minister of War, who took a step forward.
"Your Majesty!"
"Weichen believes that the selection and training of the Shenji Battalion this time is not trivial, and must be handed over to a general like General Hufu!"
As soon as Qian Zhutong said this, several ministers also echoed his words.
"I second the proposal!"
"Although the Shenji Battalion has a small number of people, it is a weapon for suppressing bandits! It must be cultivated well!"
"The problem of horse bandits in Liangzhou has really disturbed the people's livelihood in Liangzhou for a long time! This time the Shenji Battalion is dispatched, we will definitely annihilate the horse bandits and restore peace and prosperity to the people!"
Of course, if there are voices supporting General Xu Rong, there must also be voices opposing him.
Several officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel heard this and immediately raised objections.
"The general has just returned from victory, and his butt is not even warm yet. Why should he immediately send the general to suppress the bandits?"
"That's right! Besides, what's the point of killing a chicken with a sledgehammer? The general is so wise and powerful, it's the return of the general! Is there any reason to send the general of Liang to exterminate the little pony bandits?"
"The leader of the Royal Forest Army, Wang Qingnan, is young and promising, and his bravery is unparalleled! I boldly propose that the Shenji Camp be handed over to Lord Wang to command!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome young man came forward and knelt down on one knee to Emperor Liang.
"Wang Qingnan, who holds a humble position, is willing to serve His Majesty!"
Seeing this wonderful scene in front of the palace, Song Huan couldn't stop laughing in his heart.
The Shenji Battalion only has three thousand people. Even if he becomes the commander of the Shenji Battalion, he will only be a fourth-grade general at most.
However, even such a medium-sized official position instantly caused a fight between the Taishi Party and the Grand General Party.
Because although this Shenji Battalion has a small number of people, it has the task of going to Liangzhou to quell the horse bandits!
If he succeeded in suppressing the bandits and returned victorious, it would not just be a simple matter of a fourth-grade general.
Song Huan raised his eyes and stared at Wang Qingnan who was kneeling in front of the hall.
Song Huan was not very impressed by this young man.
We only know that this person is the leader of the Royal Forest Army, but Song Huan rarely sees him show up.
The reason is probably that Emperor Liang trusted the shadow guards he personally trained more!
Looking at the courtiers in front of the palace who were doing their best and doing their part, Emperor Liang's face darkened and he was a little displeased.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, but you will make choices for me one by one!"
"If each of you says one more thing, will I not have to speak again in the future?"
Realizing that Emperor Liang was slightly angry, everyone quickly denied it and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"I also want to help His Majesty solve his problems. I have no other intention!"
At this moment, Grand Master Shangguan Yi, who rarely spoke in the hall, suddenly walked out of the banquet and saluted Emperor Liang.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the horse bandits have been causing trouble for a long time and it is urgent to put down the horse bandits' rebellion."
"As soon as they arrived, the horse bandits caused chaos and the people complained."
"Secondly, the envoys of the Xia Kingdom are about to pay their respects. If the horse bandit rebellion is not put down for a long time, it will definitely attract criticism from other countries!"
Emperor Liang's expression softened and he nodded.
"What the Grand Master said is true. If so, who does the Grand Master think should be the best candidate to train the Shenji Battalion?"
Shangguan Yi smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to stroke the snow-white beard on his chest.
"I don't understand the matter of leading troops to fight, so I naturally dare not make rash judgments."
"I only know that the general is famous all over the world. Everyone in the nine states and seas has heard of the general's reputation."
"However, Liangzhou only has two thousand horse bandits."
"If all this needs to alarm the general, if it reaches the ears of the Xia envoys, wouldn't it mean that I, Daliang, have no successor?"
After saying that, Shangguan Yi did not forget to face the direction of Xu Rong and nodded lightly.
"The general is so wise and powerful, it's really hard work."
After seeing Shangguan Yi's performance, Song Huan couldn't help but clap his hands and praise him in his heart!
Although this old fox is a bit annoying, his words and deeds are flawless and flawless!
He neither said who was competent nor who was incompetent.
He just listed the interests to Emperor Liang, and even moved the Xia envoys out, taking advantage of Emperor Liang's desire to save face.
In just a few words, Xu Rong's escape path was completely cut off!
As soon as Shangguan Yi said these words, Xu Rong, who was already confident of winning, suddenly lost his composure.
No matter how hard the ministers argued, Xu Rong still had a calm smile on his face.
Because he knew that this time when he went to Liangzhou to suppress the bandits, he would have to take action himself in the end!
Now that the Xia State's envoy is about to leave, if the horse bandit rebellion does not subside, they will definitely be ridiculed and ridiculed by the Xia State's envoys.
According to Emperor Liang's face-saving character, he would not allow such a phenomenon to happen!
When he comes back victorious from suppressing the bandits, he will achieve two achievements in a row.
By that time, if Emperor Liang does not grant himself a title, I am afraid that no one in the world will agree!
Xu Rong's wishful thinking was shocking, but he ignored that his biggest stumbling block was sitting in the audience - Shangguan Yi!
Sure enough, after hearing Shangguan Yi's analysis, Emperor Liang nodded thoughtfully.
"What the Grand Master said is true, and I do mean this."
"They're just little pony bandits, so there's no need to bother the general to dispatch them!"
"The general has been fighting fiercely with Bei Yuan for a long time. Now that he has returned to Beijing, let's take a good rest."
Emperor Liang was worried about why he refused Xu Rong. It happened that Shangguan Yi made a suggestion, so Emperor Liang got off the donkey.
Xu Rong's face turned blue and white, and his expression was indescribably awkward.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
"Master Taishi, you really care about the people of Daliang."
"I have no time to take care of all the trivial matters at home, yet I can still stand here calmly and calmly, seemingly not affected at all!"
"If I were the Grand Master, I would be in ruins long ago!"
As soon as Xu Rong said these words, the faces of the courtiers changed.
Isn't this obviously rubbing salt into the Grand Master's wounds?
Nowadays, everyone in the world does not know that the son-in-law and grandson of the Grand Master are about to be exiled, and the second daughter committed suicide in the Penal Department Prison out of fear of crime.
Such a change was really a big blow to the Grand Master.
Xu Rong mentioned it again in front of the civil and military officials of the court and their families, obviously to severely humiliate the grand master!
Shangguan Yi's smile paused slightly, but soon it returned to its original state.
"The great general will always be my general of Daliang. He is the support of the people of the world and the aspiration of all people!"
"You don't know that the public's praise of you has reached an unprecedented level."
"How can you be so depressed?"
Shangguan Yi's words changed everyone's expressions, including Emperor Liang's!
