As soon as Li Baiyu finished speaking, Qinzheng Hall fell silent for an instant.
Most of the officials on the civil service side focused their attention on Duke Jingguo, Marquis Jingyuan, Marquis Guan Ning, Marquis Qingyuan, Uncle Ren Wei, and Uncle Shouning...these twelve had the title of general and outstanding military exploits. On the veteran general.
The other two princes have been idle at home for many years, and everyone knows that they will definitely not be in charge.
After Wu Guogong Wan Buhai regained Heshuo and Shuo, he didn't even leave a chance for his troops to return to the court. He died of old age on the battlefield and his coffin was sent back to the capital for burial by his personal guards.
Marquis Rongwei led the 130,000 Northern Expedition troops to garrison Heshuo and Shuo, and the generals of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang were far away in the border town.
As for the generals, all those who can take command are above the imperial court.
Naturally, many people's eyes were on Young Master Liu who was sitting quietly while doing some work with a calm expression.
As for the young generals with outstanding military exploits, most of them were guarding the city in northern Xinjiang, except for Liu Dashao and the imperial guards who both commanded the Song and Qing Dynasties.
Young generals like Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu, and Ye Baotong who followed Master Liu on his expedition to the Western Regions and obtained titles were either training new soldiers or garrisoned in northern Xinjiang, not in the capital at all.
There are not too many people who can serve as commander-in-chief of the North, and there are not many people who can be in charge.
Everyone's eyes wandered for a while, and finally fell on Duke Yunyang of Jingguo and Young Master Liu of Dingguo.
The war-experienced generals of the Six Guards, Hou Zhang Kuang and others, no longer come to court. The only generals who seem capable of carrying the banner of a million-strong army are Yunyang and Liu Mingzhi, an old man and a young man.
It's not that the civil servants looked down on Guan Ninghou, Jingyuanhou and other generals, it was just that Liu Mingzhi was more suitable in comparison.
After all, Jingyuanhou and his army have outstanding military exploits, but they have never led a single expedition since joining the army.
The only people with experience in command are Liu Dashao, Yunyang and General Liuwei. General Liuwei is not in the capital. Except for them, no one dares to say that they can carry this banner.
The boy on the right thought for a while and then came out: "Your Majesty, I recommend Duke Yun Yang of the State of Jing to lead the expedition. In his life, Duke Yun Yang of the State of Jing has fought thousands of times in the south and carried the banner of millions of troops marching north. Duke Jing is the leader. The perfect choice."
As soon as Tong Sansi finished speaking, the eyes of all the civil and military officials turned to the dozing Yunyang. Many officials frowned slightly when they saw Yunyang's sleepy appearance.
Although what Tong Xiang said is true, is it really appropriate for Old Duke Yun to be the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, who seems to doze off as soon as he comes to court?
It's okay to sleep for a while in the court hall, but if you fall asleep while arranging your troops, big trouble will occur.
Some hesitated, while others agreed.
Those who hesitate are mostly new officials, while those who agree are mostly old foxes who have been in business for many years.
Based on their understanding of Yunyang's past, the old Duke would never make fun of a national war involving the country, the country, and the country, so he strongly agreed with Tong Sansi's recommendation of Yunyang to take command.
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
Many people glanced in the direction of Young Master Liu, and were a little surprised when they saw his nod and lowered eyebrows with an unchanged expression on his face. Doesn't Duke Ding not care at all about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the chance to be crowned king?
Don’t you want to fight for it at all?
"Your Majesty, veteran Wei Yong recommends Duke Ding Liu Mingzhi to lead the expedition. It is true that Prime Minister Tong is right. Duke Yun has fought more than a hundred times in his life and has made outstanding military exploits."
"However, Mr. Yun is old after all. This national war is about the country, the country, and whether I, the dragon, can unify the world and achieve supreme hegemony!"
"The Turks, the Jin Kingdom has been dormant for so many years. They must be strong men with elite soldiers and generals. It will definitely take a lot of effort and energy to deal with them."
"I'm worried about whether Old Duke Yiyun's health can withstand this trip to the north."
"After all, the Three Kingdoms War is no small matter. It is not impossible to fight for several years."
"Although Ding Guo Gong's experience is not as good as that of the old Duke, Ding Guo Gong is a young and talented man. He is handsome in white clothes. He is young and his record is not bad at all."
"Therefore, the veteran recommends Duke Ding to lead the expedition!"
Tong Xiang recommended Yunyang, and Wei Yong recommended Liu Dashao.
I don’t know if Wei Yong deliberately wanted to go against Tong Sansi, or if he recommended Young Master Liu sincerely because he recognized Liu Mingzhi’s talents.
Guan Ninghou and his twelve generals did not have any objections. They were self-aware.
It's okay for them to lead thousands of troops and charge into battle, but if they really sit in the middle of the army and command a million-strong army, they think they don't have this ability yet.
The national war is about who can aspire to be the world leader, so there is no need to be careless.
This flag is not so easy to resist.
It seems that the future is bright, but the burden on you cannot be ignored.
Naturally, everyone is happy to return home with a great victory, but if something goes wrong accidentally, the whole family will be implicated.
It can be said that the head coach is a position where merit and crisis coexist. Everyone wants to carry it, but it is hard to say whether they have the strength to carry it.
Great achievements are useless without blessings.
"The ministers and others seconded the proposal to the left prime minister and recommended Duke Ding to take command."
"No matter how young and talented Duke Ding is, he is not as experienced as Duke Ding when it comes to fighting."
"Dong Guo is full of energy and can deal with the enemy with 12% of his energy."
For a moment, the whole court was filled with red-faced arguments!
The people recommended by the left, right, auxiliary and auxiliary ministers are all different, and the civil and military officials have different opinions. However, Young Master Liu and Yunyang are both auxiliary ministers, so most people are looking at Xia Gongming. Sir.
As long as the old man opens his mouth, even if he cannot decide who will be in charge immediately, he will already have a 70% to 80% result.
Xia Gongming felt the eyes of the civil and military officials and looked at Li Baiyu after thinking for a while.
"Your Majesty, can you give me two days to think it over carefully?"
Li Baiyu originally frowned slightly at the delicate atmosphere in the court, but after hearing Xia Gongming's words, he nodded silently.
"That's right!"
"My dear friends, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say."
"According to the order."
The chattering civil and military officials were silenced by Li Baiyu's words, and they all sat down to wait.
Li Baiyu glanced at the civil and military officials indifferently: "Since you all have different opinions for the time being, let's postpone the discussion later. It happens that General Six Guards can arrive in the capital in less than two days. After General Six Guards returns to Beijing, Let’s discuss the candidates for leadership again, so that you, dear friends, can have more choices!”
"If you have nothing else to do, just retreat from the court first. After the court is dismissed, I hope that all of you will carefully consider the candidates for command, and don't follow the crowd!"
"Retreat!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
After Li Baiyu left, the civil and military officials walked towards the outside of the palace with different expressions.
"Young man Liu, why don't you recommend yourself? If the handsome seal falls into my hands, it will be too late to regret it."
Young Master Liu, who was about to mount his horse, stopped when he heard Yunyang's voice and turned around to look. He saw Yunyang, who was still drowsy just now, looking at him with bright eyes full of energy.
Young Master Liu raised his brows slightly and looked at Yunyang with a smile: "Old man, I can't blame the old man. Why does the old man's words seem to be hidden behind the scenes?"
Yunyang gently patted Young Master Liu on the shoulder: "You're worrying too much. I always speak straightforwardly, and there is nothing to be sarcastic about."
"To be fair, you are more suitable to take charge than me."
"Why do you think so? The junior also thinks what my colleagues said is right. The experience of the junior is indeed not as good as that of the old man."
"For such a big event as the National War, I think you, the old man, are more suitable to take charge than the juniors. After all, young people are prone to impulsiveness and lack of consideration in doing things."
"Impulse on the battlefield is a taboo for military strategists."
"Compared to this, the younger generation thinks that you, the old man who is calm when the sky falls, are the best candidate to lead the expedition!"
Yunyang smiled meaningfully, shook his head, turned around and walked towards his horse.
"Who is more suitable than who? It's all in vain for us, grandfather and grandson, to talk about it. The final conclusion will be made after General Sixth Guards and those brats come back."
"Boy, you don't understand the late emperor!"
"The power of a tiger remains when it dies, but the energy of a dragon remains when an emperor dies."
"Look, the person in charge, the late Emperor, has already made up his mind!"
"drive........."
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yunyang's tall figure riding away, thinking about the meaning of Yunyang's words.
