Jun listened to Shi Xing's conclusion, and Zhu Yijun was stunned.

He knows the name of Chai Guozhu, he is the chief soldier of Jizhen, he can fight and dare to fight, and he is also competent to arrange it in Jizhen, the gateway of the Beijing Division, but this person does not have many records, most of them are deputy generals, and he has no experience in commanding major battles, so he is not enough to partner with the big task, but it is okay to be a deputy general.

As for Li Chengliang......

I have experience, I have enough qualifications, and I have a brilliant record, but ...... Not steady.

Zhu Yijun didn't trust Li Chengliang in his heart.

Zhao Zhigao and Shen Li were also stunned, and suddenly remembered that there was such a person.

During the Jiajing period and the Longqing period, the famous generals of Liaodong who shined, were knighted for military merits, and they were in the limelight for a while, but because of the corruption incident and the death of Zhang Juzheng, his status was affected, and he was deprived of the power of the Liaodong General Army.

It's just that after Xiao Ruxun was born, the limelight was too strong and radiant, and Li Chengliang's limelight was directly overshadowed, and there was no news at all.

But this old guy is indeed alive, alive and well, seventy years old this year, his body is great, his spirit is good, he eats well, and he can walk a few laps majestically on the last horse, which is quite cheap.

To say that the oldest and most meritorious general of the Ming Dynasty today, Li Chengliang is really the number one, he has been in the army for fifty years, this seniority, the Ming Dynasty really can't find a general who can be compared with it, Xiao Ruxun does have a dazzling record, but he is young!

And Li Chengliang is in Beijing, he can enter the palace with a shout, Xiao Ruxun is far away in Myanmar, and the ghost knows when he will come? Therefore, it is still necessary to choose the nearest one.

Zhu Yijun thought about it and felt that although Li Chengliang was not a pure minister, he was getting older, and his temperament should be calmer, and some of the previous problems should be gone now.

Those who should reflect have also reflected, and those who should have been reprimanded have also been reprimanded, his son is still in Liaodong, if he goes to the battlefield together this time, it is not a good story to go into battle with father and son.

So, why don't you try it?

In fact, there is no other better choice, the other princes and uncles are just a group of pigs who can make money, and there is nothing left to raise in captivity by civil officials, what else can they do?

Zhu Yijun thought helplessly for a while and allowed Shi Xing's proposal.

And then there's an important question.

"Can the treasury afford the military expenses for this military trip?"

Shi Xing was stunned, and the two auxiliary ministers were stunned.

"I ask you! What about the silver in the treasury? ”

Before, Xiao Ruxun asked for 100,000 taels of silver to send troops to the Philippines, and now this time he needs more than 100,000 silver, in order to prevent this group of rats from attacking his inner library, Zhu Yijun plans to strike first.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to be planning to take advantage of the opportunity to make a move to the treasury, the three people who knew the inside story could cooperate with each other without colluding in advance.

"Your Majesty, in this matter, the old minister will go to the household department to verify, and there is about some surplus silver."

Zhao Zhigao hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, Japan's compensation money has already reached the treasury before, and this time the troops will depend on the specific situation to judge the geometry of the troops and whether they can afford it, and it is really unclear at present."

Shi Xing hurriedly agreed.

"Your Majesty, please immediately convene a meeting in front of the emperor to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy!"

Shen Li also replied quickly.

When it comes to this matter, which is very likely to bury everyone's fate and future, the position of all civil officials is extremely firm.

The affairs and accounts of the treasury must not be in the hands of the emperor, otherwise the emperor will really lift the table angrily and let the people of Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei go to dig everyone's ancestral grave and snatch the silver back.

No one knows better than the civil officials how the treasury is controlled and emptied by the civil officials little by little, and the specific situation of the current treasury must not be known to the emperor, and he must not be allowed to know the strange direction of a sum of money, otherwise, how can this fragile balance be maintained?

Zhu Yijun didn't speculate so gloomily about people's hearts in the end, he felt that the national disaster was at the head, but all courtiers had to have a bit of urgency, so he didn't pursue it for the time being, and asked them to prepare for the imperial military meeting as soon as possible, especially to let Li Chengliang be present, he wanted to see if Li Chengliang could still go to the battlefield.

At the beginning, Lian Po was eighty years old and could still eat meat, and Li Chengliang was seventy, I hope it can still be used.

Li Chengliang never expected that this good thing would fall on his head, for so many years in Beijing, although he did not give up the hope of a comeback, but such hope has diminished day by day, almost to the point that it cannot be maintained.

On the one hand, he is slowly aging, looking at his weakened body and declining spirit, he feels the ruthlessness of the years, on the other hand, Li Rusong successfully took over his position and maintained the status of the Li family, and Liaodong is still under the control of the Li family, which is a gratifying thing.

In this case, he simply took it honestly to Beijing City to let the emperor reassure the civil officials, as long as his son can continue to persevere, what is not to do?

The only thing that is dissatisfied is that there is no hero at the time, and he actually made Xiao Ruxun's vertical son famous, and pressed him, became a marquis, and was still a hereditary reckless Marquis of Zhennan, although the fief was far away, but this is also what he has been pursuing.

Right now, all I can see is a dying old man.

When the internal official of the herald came to Li's mansion, Li Chengliang was nostalgic for the past and the present, and when he heard the report from his subordinates that someone from the palace was coming, Li Chengliang still didn't react, but he finally reacted, and he was in a hurry, but he didn't stand up.

"Come and hold me!"

Li Chengliang angrily scolded the subordinates around him who had no eyesight, and the subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Chengliang, Li Chengliang came to the living room and saw the long-lost internal official.

"My old lord, hurry up and prepare! Your Majesty is in a hurry to summon you! ”

Li Chengliang was stunned.

"Your Majesty summoned me?"

"Yes! Something happened to Datong, the northern captives are on the border, and His Majesty is planning to ask you to discuss the military aircraft affairs, and plans to appoint you to resist the northern captives! ”

After the internal official's words were finished, Li Chengliang reacted, and then, the joy in his heart almost broke through the sky.

"Let me change my clothes!"

It took a while for Li Chengliang to speak.

Back in the inner room, Li Chengliang immediately asked his subordinates to serve him to change his clothes, and while wearing it, Li Chengliang showed ecstasy on his face-

So many years, so many years! I've finally arrived! I've finally waited for this day! A general is to shine on the battlefield, if there is no war, what is the use of a general? Only war is my stage!

Li Chengliang is glad that he did not completely waste his body, did not indulge in wine, still insisted on practicing martial arts, and still insisted on maintaining good health, don't look at him at the age of seventy, he is still a tiger and a tiger when he dances a sword, and he is still not necessarily weaker than those young scholars who are weak.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and Li Chengliang has deeply realized this.

He finally waited for the war he longed for.
