It's not recommended Zhang Zhijie! Is this nonsense? The last time I quelled the civil unrest in Bazhou, look at who the ministers were all elected?

First of all, he promoted two wastes, fought two defeats in succession, lost his troops and wasted money and food, not to mention, and lost the face of the court! Later, Lu Wan, the squire of the military department, was so frightened that he stayed in Gu'an City and didn't dare to move before he went to the battlefield! If it weren't for his insistence on ordering Zhang Zhijie to lead the troops at that time, hum, what could he do by relying on Lu Wan's cowardice?

I didn't expect these ministers to have a long memory! This general is right in front of him, and he is going to recommend something messy, isn't this nonsense?

Emperor Zhengde was stunned for a while, and then he thought of refuting, who is recommended by the secretary of the Ministry of War, oh, Wang Shouren! It turned out to be Wang Shouren!

The recommended candidates this time are also reliable! Wang Shouren followed Zhang Zhijie to quell the civil unrest in Bazhou, and he also made a great contribution, although he was not as good as Zhang Zhijie, but it also proved his ability, even Zhang Zhijie praised Wang Shouren, so Emperor Zhengde also recognized Wang Shouren's ability!

Although the candidate recommended by the Ministry of War Shangshu this time is quite reliable, and Wang Shouren is also a good candidate, but there are more suitable candidates, where is Wang Shouren compared to Zhang Zhijie! So Emperor Zhengde's heart is still a little dissatisfied!

However, after the secretary of the military department recommended Wang Shouren, the secretary of the household department immediately seconded the proposal, praising Wang Shouren for knowing the art of war, and he was really the best candidate to lead the troops on this expedition.

Although the rest of the ministers did not participate in the discussion, they were all people with clear minds, and they figured it out in a blink of an eye, Wang Shouren is really a suitable candidate, and he is also the only candidate who can hope to compete with Zhang Zhijie.

The six ministries and nine secretaries came out one after another to second, and for a while, the hall was full of voices praising Wang Shouren. Emperor Zhengde was a little embarrassed when he heard this, although he had a good impression of Wang Shouren's dark stubborn donkey, which came from Zhang Zhijie's praise of Wang Shouren.

The two scholars who had been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai were very satisfied when they heard the praise of Wang Shouren in the hall, and couldn't help but sneak a few glances at Zhang Zhijie, who had been quiet.

Since then, the secretary of the military department began to recommend Wang Shouren, and then the ministers in the hall were recommending Wang Shouren, Zhang Zhijie was not surprised, he had already expected this situation! He also knew that he and these Wenchen couldn't pee in the same pot, and he could guess a few points of these Wenchen's thoughts.

Zhang Zhijie was not dissatisfied in his heart, he agreed with Wang Shouren's ability, and Xu Jiaying was pregnant, so it was good for him to stay in Beijing!

Sensing that the two scholars were secretly looking at him, Zhang Zhijie turned his head sideways and smiled at them. Zhang Zhijie was originally a kind act, but in the eyes of the two scholars, he felt a sense of relief, why did Zhang Zhijie smile?

The ministers in the hall are all praising Wang Shouren and recommending Wang Shouren to lead the troops to the battle, how can Zhang Zhijie still laugh at this scene? So the two scholars were vigilant, just like Liu Jin back then, they felt that Zhang Zhijie was preparing to fight back, and he was ready to make some trouble!

What made Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe even more distracted was that the emperor's face on the throne was already a little ugly, and he was obviously a little dissatisfied with the promotion of Wang Shouren by all of them!

At this time, out of the corner of their eyes, they saw Zhang Zhijie smiling again, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe felt a pang in their hearts, could it be that Zhang Zhijie was going to make a move? This must be done with caution!

Zhang Zhijie came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers saw that the ministers all recommended Wang Shouren, the squire of the military department, to lead the troops to the battle, and the ministers also seconded the proposal, the ministers had worked with Wang Shilang, and even he was familiar with the art of war and knew about military affairs, it was rare that he was not chaotic and could deal with it calmly!" Leading the troops to go out this time is none other than Wang Shouren! ”

As soon as Zhang Zhijie's voice fell, the hall was quiet for a while, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhijie to also recommend Wang Shouren to lead the troops to the battle! This was a big surprise to everyone.

Even Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe, who had been cautiously waiting for Zhang Zhijie's counterattack, were also a little surprised, they all knew that Zhang Zhijie and Wang Shouren had a good relationship, so they were very confident in the promotion of Wang Shouren, because the candidate for the nomination was Wang Shouren, and Zhang Zhijie would not go too far.

But what they never expected was that Zhang Zhijie directly seconded the proposal to nominate Wang Shouren! Is this Zhang Zhijie's strategy of retreating, or does Zhang Zhijie really not plan to lead the troops to the expedition and instead support Wang Shouren?

Everyone had different thoughts, and Emperor Zhengde was a little surprised when he heard it, he was still fighting for Zhang Zhijie in his heart, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhijie to speak for Wang Shouren!

However, Emperor Zhengde figured it out in a blink of an eye, Zhang Zhijie often praised Wang Shouren in front of him, obviously admired Wang Shouren very much, and had a good relationship with Wang Shouren.

Alas, Zhijie is good at everything, but his competitiveness is too weak! Although Wang Shouren is a good candidate, in the end, he is still not as reassuring as Zhang Zhijie! Besides, last time, Emperor Zhengde wanted to reward Zhang Zhijie again, but he was opposed by the ministers, if Zhang Zhijie led the troops to quell the rebellion of King Ning this time, then who has reason to oppose him to reward Zhang Zhijie?

Emperor Zhengde was a little angry in his heart, so even if Zhang Zhijie and the ministers were promoting Wang Shouren, Emperor Zhengde still did not open his mouth to agree.

Li Dongyang can also understand a little bit of Emperor Zhengde's thoughts, obviously the emperor did not speak for a long time because he still wanted Zhang Zhijie to lead the troops in his heart. If it weren't for Wang Shouren, Emperor Zhengde wouldn't have had too much reason to oppose it, and it is estimated that he would have refuted it a long time ago!

But now even Zhang Zhijie is promoting Wang Shouren, which makes Emperor Zhengde hesitate for a while, at this time there is no doubt that it is the time for him to make a final decision, as the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, this is where his duty lies, in important matters, critical times, play a decisive role!

The reason why Li Dongyang is so confident is because he knows the weakness of Emperor Zhengde! At least there is a weakness in this matter!

Therefore, Li Dongyang seized the opportunity to immediately go out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers also seconded the proposal and recommended Wang Shouren, the squire of the military department, to lead the troops to the battle!" ”

Emperor Zhengde couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and even the cabinet scholars recommended Wang Shouren, was this discussed in advance? None of the ministers recommended Zhang Zhijie!

"Your Majesty, the minister has also carefully thought about the candidates for leading the troops this time, and Admiral Zhang and Wang Shilang are undoubtedly very suitable candidates! But after thinking about it, Chen still felt that Wang Shilang was more suitable! Li Dongyang said in a deep voice.
