In the Chengming Hall of Weiyang Palace, the flickering candlelight illuminates the delicate and dark desk bookshelves in the inner room. The little eunuch in charge of the candle fidgeted and wondered if the lights were too dim tonight. Even when His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered only one-third of the candles to be lit, he was still uneasy. The night is so dark, if something happens, no one will care if this candle flame is not Emperor Yongming himself is unwilling to light more.

From time to time, the flickering candle flame shone on an old and sickly face, and the cloudy eyes became more and more unclear under the light of the candlelight. Emperor Yongming knelt on the couch at the top, his body was still fully recovered, and he sat crookedly, and his wide robe set off his body more and more dry.

Emperor Yongming handed over the two copies, and after a pause, a hoarse voice like sandpaper sounded.

"What do you think?"

After carefully reading the two copies, Qiu Zhongzi already had a plan in his heart.

Rou Ran's incident is so big, it is impossible to fool the past like before, and nothing has happened to everyone. No matter how long it drags on, there will be a result in the end, and how to maximize his own interests has been thinking about this question for a long time.

"Returning to His Majesty, the minister thinks that Rouran has repeatedly invaded my Dachen territory, and if he does not give color, other barbarians will follow suit, which is not conducive to the stability of my borders. And if I am so powerful that such a small country can be invaded, please send troops to deter you. ”

The positions of several courtiers in the Chengming Hall tonight are very unified, and they are all the backbone of the "Emperor's Thigh" professional household.

The leaders of the thigh professional households expressed their attitude, and several others seconded the proposal.

"The secretaries think it's appropriate to send someone to lead the army." Emperor Yongming didn't distinguish between joy and anger, and asked in a gossipy manner.

That's the point, who to send to make your side stronger. In their opinion, no matter how strong Rouran is, it is just a barbarian, and the reason why Rouran was able to make more achievements before was because we were too lazy to care. That loss is not even a small wave in the Great Chen Dynasty, where the country is rich and the people are strong. We should be supporting the poor mountainous areas, too lazy to fight, even if we send Hanako, we have to give money.

Since there is going to be a war this time, the result is certain, and whoever leads the troops will be credited to whoever is credited. There are not many opportunities to fight a war in these years, and after this battle, you will inevitably be promoted and make a fortune. This is a fragrant bait, everyone wants to take a bite, don't eat it for nothing. For thigh professionals, this is not just fragrant and sweet, this is the supreme delicious fresh meat.

After so many years of hard work, they finally have a little bit of say in the court, and the whole process is so difficult that they can write an inspirational story. This little bit of the right to speak can only be revealed when all parties are stuck and everyone is too lazy to pay attention to them. The emperor's two thighs were not enough for them to hold, and they urgently needed another support in addition to the emperor's thighs.

"Your Majesty thinks that any of my Great Chen's generals in the Northland is enough to be worthy of this position."

Emperor Yongming's fingers moved slightly, he didn't expect Qiu Zhongzi to say such a thing. Such a great opportunity to give it to others?

"Only after the start of our army, the affairs of the army obeyed the general, and the orders of the court were often not accepted, and the ministers thought that this matter needed to be resolved." Qiu Zhongzi avoided the competition for the general candidate and directly said another thing.

Generals who are not subject to military orders abroad are often the things that generals who fight abroad. Even if he was so irritable like the first emperor, there were still generals who did not listen to the dispatch and did what they wanted.

As soon as Qiu Zhongzi said this, Emperor Yongming was also faintly worried in his heart. He hasn't fought a big battle for so many years, and the small friction on the border or Ning Yuan's fight against Haikou in Linhai County is all decided by the generals themselves, and the results of the battle will be reported to the central government, as for your tactics and tactics, your military thinking, the central government will not interfere.

Emperor Yongming, who had never fought a war and had commanded a war, was naturally resistant to the big battle. Qiu Zhongzi's words also said to his heart, what if these generals are disobedient, it is not easy for the tiger who released the cage to want him to return to the cage obediently.

If it was Emperor Yongming ten years ago, he might have thought that since he couldn't do it in this regard, he would listen to the courtiers. I don't understand, they just do. But now he attaches more and more importance to his imperial dignity, if he gives an order and the general does not accept it, where will he put his face! If the emperor of the dignified empire can't even manage the generals, how can he convince the public, and the courtiers are not laughing at their own lack of majesty, and hooking up with the prince behind their backs.

No, even if there is a real war, the whole process of fighting must be in your own hands. I can't give the crown prince any chance, he is not dead yet, and he must sit firmly on this throne.

But he is not very familiar with the generals now, he doesn't need them at all on weekdays, and he only knows the temperament of a few famous generals. The tragedy is that the few people he knows are not very good-tempered, and they are not the kind of people who can be obedient.

If you don't have contact with the generals on weekdays, you will really be blind. Emperor Yongming has carefully investigated the generals of the northern land one by one in the past few days. Temper, family background, personality, and battle record are all screened. The conclusion is that you can be a general at the border, and you will be a general for several years, and you have a personality!

"What do you think should be done?" Emperor Yongming's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't come up with a solution after thinking about it for so long.

Qiu Zhongzi has been able to get the respect of Emperor Yongming over the years, not only because of the relationship between Concubine Rou, but also because he hugs his thighs very professionally. Every time he can talk about Emperor Yongming's heart, he can magically sense some things that are inconvenient for the emperor's identity to say. Regardless of whether the result will be sprayed with dog blood by the courtiers, he never flinched.

"The minister thought that the generals could not be dispatched by the imperial court when they were outside, mainly because there were no officials in the army who were closely related to the imperial court. The generals were away for a long time and had few opportunities to personally participate in the operation of the imperial court. If the army sends a few officials who are deeply trusted by His Majesty to follow, the military power when the power is urgent can not only report the movement of the army to the imperial court in time, but also carry out the imperial court's orders in a timely manner. ”

Emperor Yongming's heart lit up when he heard this, if you are disobedient, I will send a few obedient people to lead the army to fight with you. It's not you who say it, and this waist board can't stand up so hard.

"Very good, in what name will the officials be sent." You can't run to other people's territory and tell them that I don't worry about you, so I'll manage my little brother with you.

"Overseer. The generals concentrate on fighting, and there are always people who have to worry about the grain and grass that need the help of the imperial court. ”

After speaking, Qiu Zhongzi raised his head and met Emperor Yongming with his eyes. The two of them each saw the answer they wanted in each other's gazes.
