"What?" The hall was quiet for a moment, and suddenly there was a lot of noise.
"That's nonsense!" Wei Cen even laughed out loud.
Even Li Jing smiled. He didn't think Han Xizai was suitable. Although in his opinion, Han Xizai was indeed talented, versed in poetry, music and literature, and was quite popular with him on weekdays, but that didn't mean that this man was a long-term candidate. The close ministers of the palace were qualified to supervise the army. This thin figure of a scholar obviously had nothing to do with military treks.
"Han Qing, let's forget it." Li Jing said with a bitter smile.
At this time, all the ministers showed a slightly sarcastic smile to Han Xizai, who was standing on the left side of the Jinluan steps, but he seemed to be unfazed by honor and disgrace, looking calmly at Li Jing on the dragon throne, and paying attention to the buzzing in the hall. The buzz of criticism seemed to fall on deaf ears.
"Your Majesty, I have the courage to speak out. This time, I am the most suitable candidate for the post of supervising the army. I have not had much contact with officials in the DPRK and I am cautious about this matter. I have been fortunate to have you over the years. Serving by His Majesty's side, I admit that I don't have great talents but I am not ignorant. Thirdly, I am the Minister of Zhongshu, and I am fortunate enough to be involved in the center. As a supervisor of the army, it is consistent with my status." Han Xizai insisted.
"Shilang Han, do you think this war is child's play? Who is Li Yuan? You have never even touched a sword, how can you have the confidence to brag about it? Don't lose your life in Langzhou then... ...." Feng Yanji said disdainfully.
Han Xizai blinked, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Look, Prime Minister Feng has made a rash conclusion again! Whether Li Yuan is treason has not yet been found out, how do you know that this battle will be fought? Besides, isn't there Minister Wei? He is the leader of the army, doesn't Prime Minister Feng trust Prime Minister Wei?"
The corner of Feng Yanji's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said with some profound meaning: "Shilang Han, I have never made a conclusion! I am just worried about your safety. You are a famous wise man in my court. Not only do swords and guns have no eyesight on the battlefield, but also on the march. It’s very difficult. What if something unexpected happens along the way? What do you think?”
How could Han Xizai not know the profound meaning? Just as he was about to argue, Li Jing waved his hand slightly and said, "You two don't need to talk anymore. Han Qing, you'd better reconsider a candidate for me."
Han Xizai said: "Your Majesty, I still feel that I am the most suitable. Your Majesty, why don't you seek the opinions of all the ministers before making a decision? I have no experience with the army, but there is always a first time for everything, isn't it? Even important ministers like Feng Xiang who sit in the center How can I dare to worry about personal life and death when I often personally serve as the supervisor of the army? I only want to serve the country! This time, let me share your worries for Your Majesty! I will live up to my mission and live up to the emperor's favor!"
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "But this time is no better than before, maybe it is extremely dangerous. Han Qing, are you serious?"
Han Xizai cupped his hands and said, "How can I dare to joke when the Holy Master is here?"
Li Jing still wanted to give Han Xizai face. Although he knew that he would definitely fail as a candidate, he still decided to give Han Xizai the last step, so he sighed: "Oh, that's fine, gentlemen, do you think Han Xizai can take on this important task?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yanji didn't even need to signal. The opposition voices of the officials who were attached to him were already shouting endlessly, and it seemed that the opposition voices actually accounted for 89% of the people.
Han Xizai sneered and said nothing. He wished that the more people who opposed him, the better. He is Han Xizai, one of the very few ministers who spends most of the year drinking and composing poems with His Majesty. Given His Majesty's temperament, the more noisy these people who act based on Feng Yanji's eyes will arouse His Majesty's disgust.
One of the things that His Majesty dislikes the most is being forced to do something by his ministers. Han Xizai understands this much better than the old stubborn Sun Cheng.
Sure enough, Li Jing was already a little unhappy, frowned and shouted: "What are you doing with all this fuss? How decent is it?"
The ministers quickly shut up.
Li Jing said again: "Prime Minister Feng, Prime Minister Xu, please tell me your opinions."
Feng Yanji said in a deep voice: "I know that Shilang Han is a talented person, but after all, he is not going to write poems and compositions but to join the army in battle. I'm afraid he won't be qualified."
Li Jing turned to Xu Xuan, who bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I also think that Minister Han is not the most suitable candidate. However, I do have a suitable candidate in my mind..."
These words were very explicit, and Li Jing suddenly felt that Xu Xuan in front of her seemed to regard him as a fool. With the way you and Feng Yanji just sang together, how can you recommend a candidate who is not biased? Then he frowned and said, "Xu Xuan, I'm asking whether Han Xizai is qualified for the job, not whether you have any candidates."
But Li Jing still didn't think deeply this time. Xu Xuan's wishful thinking was naturally to take the opportunity to arrange for his own people to go, but this own people must be completely "our own people", that is, they have the support of King Zheng However, there is still a clear difference between his position and Feng Yanji's group, because Xu Xuan is still obsessed with the safety of Prince Zheng and Li Congjia at this moment... But Li Jing's refusal clearly meant that there was no chance.
However, when asked whether Han Xizai was qualified, the answer seemed to be ready. You must know that Xu Xuan had been aggrieved in the court for who knows how many years. He had always been jealous of Han Xizai, who had been favored by the saint. Moreover, Xu Xuan was standing naked at this time. Send on Feng Yanji's side.
But things often happen so suddenly, and Xu Xuan's next words surprised everyone secretly. Although Feng Yanji and others swore last night that they would ensure His Royal Highness Prince Zheng's safe return, at this time even the Emperor Li Jing was instigated and did not mention the safety of his own son. What was the guarantee of Feng Yanji and others? use? Xu Xuan suddenly determined that no matter what, Wei Cen could not be allowed to lead the army alone...
"Your Majesty, I have just thought carefully about it, and Shilang Han should be able to do the job. After all, the supervisor is not the leader of the army. He does not need to get involved in too much fighting and killing. He only needs to observe the details and think carefully.
Moreover, I also agree with what Minister Han just said. He does not have any deep contacts with the ministers in the court, especially if he has no connection with Li Yuan. Without connection, there will be no likes and dislikes. This is the premise of justice... ..."
Xu Xuan spoke in a deep voice for a while, not caring about the sudden cold looks from around him.
Li Jing coughed several times, then relaxed his brows and nodded: "Okay, one of you supports and the other opposes. The result is a bit beyond my expectation... If I ask the opinions of the departments under the central committee again, it seems It seems redundant, so let me ask the opinions of those around me, Young Supervisor, do you think it is appropriate for Minister Han to go?"
Liu Shaojian, who was standing beside the emperor, seemed to be caught off guard. He shuddered, waved the dust in his hand, and leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, I think anyone can go, but the premise is that he must fulfill his duties and not show favoritism."
Li Jing said unhappily: "You didn't answer me."
Han Xizai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what Liu Shaojian said actually means that I am qualified for the job. He said that whoever he said was suitable, and he did not think that I was unsuitable."
Feng Yanji said coldly: "Shilang Han, don't be too thick-skinned. Where did Mr. Liu mean this?"
