Chapter 543: The Man Who Carries the Black Cauldron
"Maybe you will say in your hearts that the situation that caused today's situation of the army not being subordinate to each other is completely caused by me, yes, I made this arrangement to prevent the generals of the army from taking power, and I do not hide from you Aiqing, the idea in my heart is that as long as I have a will, others can obey the commander appointed by me, and at this moment, the three armies of Jinling are still effective." Xia Qi's deep eyes swept over the ministers in the hall, and his eyes did not miss any officials.
"I know this is a good choice, but why didn't I choose this way, but I have to wait for the military department or the military to give me a feasible plan, am I crazy? No. Doesn't that mean I don't take the White Lotus Sect seriously? Neither is it. ”
"Why didn't I make this decision, you Aiqing also know very well in your hearts, do you have to force me to tear this face, do you have to let me return to the state I was in more than ten years ago, if you think, even if I am old, I still feel that I can return to the best state."
"Wechen is terrified." Hearing Xia Qi say such heavy words in the court for the first time in more than ten years, the ministers in the hall suddenly felt an invisible depression and palpitations, and hurriedly knelt down and said loudly.
"Alright, let's all get up." Xia Qi couldn't help but feel a burst of disgust when he saw the ministers in the hall with a pretended panic look in the clouds.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." A hint of hesitation flashed in Qiu Mubai's eyes, he didn't want to take this opportunity to take the limelight, but for some reason, Qiu Mubai felt that he should express everything at this time, not for anything else, just for Shen Yan to get righteousness.
"Say it." Seeing Qiu Mubai's demeanor, Xia Qi calmed down a little and was slightly angry.
"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to say two things, the first is about the result of the negotiation with Beihu." With Xia Qi's consent, Qiu Mubai's eyes showed a touch of confidence, and he said slowly.
"Regarding the matter of negotiating with Beihu, I said before, as long as you don't violate the bottom limit of my Great Xia, you can get any favorable conditions to let go of the talks, and you will be fully responsible for this matter, and you don't have to report everything to me, as long as you think it's okay, and then tell me the final result." Hearing Qiu Mubai talk about the matter of discussing with Beihu, Xia Qi's eyes couldn't help but show a faint sense of loss, although this matter is also very important, but compared to today's atmosphere, this matter is not so important.
Of course, Xia Qi did not expect the ministers in the palace to reach the point of knowing him, and he suggested that Shen Yan be sent to lead the Great Xia Royal Army to Huaibei County to conquer the White Lotus Sect, and he could borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and second, once Shen Yan did not achieve the results he expected, there would be a person who carried the black cauldron.
It's a pity that all the ministers in the palace seem to be shrewd, but perhaps it is precisely because they are too shrewd and calculating, that they only think about their own interests, and completely forget the duty of sharing worries for the king.
"Thank you for the emperor's trust in Weichen." Hearing the emperor's words, a hint of surprise clearly flashed in Qiu Mubai's eyes, it seems that the emperor is not in a good mood, otherwise, the emperor would not have the heart to listen to such an important matter.
"You are the cabinet master promoted by me, if you don't even have this basic trust, then what am I promoting you for, do you decorate the façade, I don't need to be like this, although your talent meets this requirement, but your qualifications or reputation are not enough." A hint of impatience appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, and there was obviously a hint of impatience in his tone.
"I always thought that Qiu Mubai was great, as soon as he returned to Jinling, he was appointed by the emperor as the secretary of the ministry, and he also served as a cabinet bachelor, I thought that his career would be smooth sailing, but unfortunately, people are most likely to fall off the altar when they are proud, no, from the emperor's words to Qiu Mubai, it has been implied one or two." The ministers in the palace were all human spirits, and after hearing the impatient look in the emperor's words, they all lowered their heads and couldn't lower their heads, with a panicked look on their faces, but they were happy in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, the second thing Weichen said is to solicit candidates for the White Lotus Sect in Huaibei County." Qiu Mubai didn't seem to understand the emperor's tone at all, and said slowly with an indifferent look on his face.
"What? Could this Qiu Mubai be stupid, or do he want to say something amazing to change his position in the emperor's heart? Who doesn't know that no matter who is proposed as the commander in chief at this time, it will offend other people, and even the entire military. Hearing Qiu Mubai's words, the officials who were originally secretly happy in their hearts had a strong surprise in their eyes.
"Say." Hearing Qiu Mubai's words, a flash of surprise flashed in Xia Qi's eyes, and then he returned to calmness, although Qiu Mubai was very talented, unfortunately, he could not have thought of letting Shen Yan go on the expedition, perhaps, the candidate in Qiu Mubai's mind was Jiang Tawei.
"Your Majesty, although Wechen doesn't know anything about military affairs, but as a member of the six ministries, especially seeing the limelight of the White Lotus Sect today, Wechen can't sleep at night, and has been thinking about who is the most suitable candidate to go to the battle, until this morning, Wechen still has no answer, but Wechen's little girl's words made Wechen suddenly understand in his heart that Wechen made a big mistake, that is, he is used to looking at people with his eyes up, looking at people's qualifications, and ignoring some people should be level-eyed." Qiu Mubai did not immediately say who was the best candidate to go on the expedition, but talked nonsense as if he was chattering, and he didn't care whether the emperor would be angry after hearing it.
When Xia Qi heard Qiu Mubai's words, a complicated look couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
"Wechen is aware of this mistake, so he re-sorted out the people in the court who are not qualified enough in his mind, and found that there is a person who is really very suitable, this person has been out for too short a time, and there is almost no qualifications, so when Wechen is raising his eyes to comb, there is no place for him at all." Qiu Mubai felt the complicated look in the emperor's eyes, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and continued.
"Although this person has been out of office for a short time, but in such a short period of time, he has made meritorious achievements that others may take a year, ten years, or even a lifetime to make, and won a complete victory in two battles against the White Lotus Sect, and completely defeated the Northern Jackal Cavalry with the same strength, which completely changed the unbearable defeat of my Northern Jackal Cavalry in Great Xia, and raised the military might of my Great Xia."
"This person is Shen Yan, the general of the Great Xia Royal Army." The people in the hall had already guessed the answer when they heard Qiu Mubai's words, but Qiu Mubai had already said loudly with a touch of excitement.
