"What!"
When Duguhong heard the name of the recommended person in the hall, the scene became commotion again.
On the civilian camp, some people immediately stood up to oppose it.
"This must never be done!"
"Why not?" Dugu Hong asked coldly without turning his head.
Emperor Wu, who was sitting high in the hall, was a little surprised when he heard that the person recommended by Dugu Hong was actually Han Feng.
Seeing this situation, he calmly said: "Since the King of Zhennan has recommended Han Feng as deputy commander-in-chief, if you have any opinions, you can raise them now."
At that moment, Shangguan Qingfeng, the official minister, was the first to stand up.
"Your Majesty, the military in coastal battlefields is related to the survival of the empire. The choice of deputy commander-in-chief is crucial. Although the Zhenguo Marquis is extremely talented, he is still relatively young and may not be qualified for the job due to lack of experience."
Feng Muyun, the Minister of Rites, also came out and said: "Yes, although Zhen Guohou has made many achievements, after all, he has only been an official for a few years. How deep can he be in the overall planning and dispatching of the imperial military?" understanding.
The important task of deputy commander-in-chief needs to be shouldered by a mature and prudent person, which is more secure. "
After the two ministers finished speaking, the Minister of Punishment, Yuchi Yan, who had always remained neutral between the two major factions, also spoke at this moment.
"What the two ministers said is reasonable. The selection of deputy commander-in-chief is of great importance and needs to be fair and just.
A subordinate official said bluntly that Han Feng, the Marquis of Zhenguo, seemed to have a close relationship with Miss Dugu of Zhennan Palace, so it would be somewhat inappropriate for the prince to recommend him personally. "
If what Shangguan Qingfeng and Feng Muyun said is still objective.
Yu Chiyan's words were a direct attack.
The relationship between Han Feng and Dugu Nianxue is now well known to everyone in the empire. Han Feng is the quasi-aunt of Zhennan Palace, which is not a secret at all.
Yuchiyan was clearly accusing Duguhong of being nepotistic.
Seeing the three ministers, all fired up and unanimously speaking to the outside world, the civil and military ministers in the hall couldn't help but feel a strange atmosphere.
The prince and King Xuanyou looked at each other with a tacit understanding.
Today's military is powerful, but it refuses to rely on and support these two people. Therefore, these two most powerful contenders for the future throne have to join forces to slowly erode and carve up the big cake of "military".
However, facing this situation, Duguhong, who had been drifting in the court for decades, just smiled coldly.
"Yes, I am indeed very optimistic about Han Feng. After this battle, I want him to be the son-in-law of my Dugu family."
In one sentence, a group of civil servants in the main hall who were preparing to use this as a "firepower point" to continue their fierce attack were speechless.
Duguhong directly and frankly admitted the relationship between Han Feng and Dugu Mansion.
Immediately, Duguhong raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what kind of temperament does this old minister have? Your Majesty should know very well. The veteran minister has always promoted worthy people and never avoided relatives.
It is true that Han Feng has not been an official for a long time, and many people present have higher qualifications than him.
But if it is based on qualifications alone, regardless of ability, if you have been around for a long enough time, wouldn't you be able to command the three armies and lead the troops to fight? "
When he said this, Duguhong glanced directly at the civilian camp, and his contempt was self-evident.
These civil servants were very angry, but they did not dare to confront Duguhong.
The other party is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. In the empire, in terms of qualifications, strength, and achievements... he is second to none. He is despised by him and can only hold his nose and admit it.
These civil servants hit a snag, and Duguhong said again: "In the past few years since Han Feng became an official, he first put down the rebellion of the northwest bandits in Xichuan Province, captured the crown prince and the second prince of the Dayan Empire alive, and promoted the prestige of our Qianlan country.
Later, when the empire was in crisis, he served as an envoy to Dayan and shook hands with Dayan without making peace.
When our empire was in danger, we brought in reinforcements, turned the tide of the war, and finally gained control of the ruins of the Martial God Clan.
If not for the victory in this battle and the preservation of our boundary-breaking order, we would not have been able to obtain so many resources this time. Which one of you in the hall has not benefited from this? "
Duguhong's words were so loud that everyone in the hall fell into silence.
Indeed, no one can erase Han Feng's vital achievements in the ruins of the Martial God Clan.
Even the title awarded to Han Feng by Emperor Wu was in the name of "Zhenguo", which shows the importance he attached to Han Feng.
Seeing that the situation was beginning to turn around, Shangguan Hongtian, the ancestor of the Shangguan family, said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhen Guo really made a huge contribution, and no one denies it.
But now, we want to select the most suitable deputy general manager, not discuss who has greater achievements. "
Duguhong glanced at Shangguan Hongtian and said calmly: "Mr. Shangguan said that Han Feng is naturally a suitable candidate.
When he first entered the coastal battlefield of the Wanxing Sea Region, he rose from the rank of an ordinary soldier. With his meritorious service on the battlefield, he was promoted to the rank of garrison envoy, and then to his current position as deputy commander of the Wanxing Sea Region.
Having experienced countless battles, big and small, I am very familiar with coastal battlefields.
Even in the decisive battle with the Siren Clan, he personally participated, but it seems that you were not present in this battle.
Therefore, I think that with Han Feng's merits and qualifications, it is more than enough to serve as deputy commander-in-chief. "
"this……"
Duguhong is worthy of being the elder of the dynasty.
Not only did he fight on the battlefield, but in the court, he was still extremely sharp with his arguments and arguments.
This remark was so reasonable and watertight that the civilian camp could not find a better reason to attack.
At this moment, the general camp saw an opportunity and immediately counterattacked.
First, Xiong Tiangang, the Minister of War, came out and said: "What King Zhennan said is absolutely true. The Marquis of Zhennan is smart and capable, and his ability is obvious to all.
The so-called hero does not lie in his age. Back then, Commander Zhang took on important responsibilities early and made countless contributions to the empire. "
Immediately, the three major commanders and military veterans came out to express their support for Han Feng to serve as deputy commander-in-chief of the coastal battlefield.
These strong men in the army, no matter how high or low their cultivation level was, the aura of killing and decisiveness in their bodies gathered together at this moment.
It was truly unstoppable and directly suppressed the civilian camp.
The atmosphere in the hall changed drastically in an instant.
Seeing this situation, the prince, King Xuanyou, the ancestors of the three families, and the imperial guest secretly frowned, feeling that the situation was not good.
At this time, Emperor Wu finally spoke again.
He did not make a decision directly, but looked at Han Feng, who had not said a word from beginning to end.
"Marquis Zhen Guo, since King Zhen Nan recommended you to be the deputy commander-in-chief, I wonder if you are willing to take on this important task?"
In an instant, all eyes in the hall were focused on Han Feng.
At this moment, Han Feng's thoughts were gradually pulled back.
Han Feng was a little surprised that Dugu Hong would recommend him as deputy commander-in-chief.
If he had entered the ruins of the Martial God Clan, Han Feng might have really refused to take on this heavy responsibility.
But things are different now. Han Feng has a heavier task, which is even related to the safety of the mainland.
He didn't have time to fight for power with these civil servants. The coastal war must be settled as quickly as possible.
To do this, power must remain firmly in the hands of the military.
Thinking of this, Han Feng almost didn't hesitate, took a step forward, and knelt down on one knee again.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to take on this important task and be loyal to the country!"
