"Your Majesty, you can start going to court." The eunuch beside him reminded him, and the emperor finally came back to his senses slowly, raised his head and looked at the officials in front of him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to say today is not any child's play, if you have any problems, you can go to my imperial study to find me in person, and there is no need to make any arguments in the court." As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he did not say anything serious, but said something seemingly inconsequential.

All the officials below looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd?

I saw that the emperor cleared his throat and continued to speak: "Recently, our border is not very peaceful, the northern barbarians have repeatedly invaded, Loulan and Qiuzi should be responsible for guarding the two vassal states on the frontier, and they have not fulfilled their duties, so the imperial court is ready to add some recruits to the border to help the frontier this time, among which I am most concerned about finding a general with a good atmosphere to lead the team, I don't know who of you Aiqing can be qualified for this position?" ”

The emperor asked this question, and the people below seemed to have been beaten in the face.

One by one, they couldn't help but take a step back, and asked themselves, since they can enjoy themselves in the capital, why bother to go to the frontier to suffer from the crisis of wind and sand and war?

All of them are not young, the youngest may be Luo Licheng's faction, only in their early twenties, but some of the older ones are just old bones, seventy or eighty years old, if this kind of person goes to the battlefield, he will be beaten.

But often when the war happens, it is this kind of old man who goes to the battlefield to direct the battle, because the people in the younger generation are very cowardly, they are greedy for life and afraid of death, they are greedy for wealth and wealth.

The emperor's question was exchanged for silence below, and one of the several courtiers who liked to meet him on weekdays did not lower his head, for fear that the emperor would suddenly take a fancy to them.

A sharp look swept over them, and the Emperor stared at them without thinking about it.

How can an official who is greedy for life and afraid of death and does not put the people of Li in his eyes how can he be a good official?

It's just that this idea was hidden in the deepest part of his heart, he just didn't say it, and watched those people exchange their thoughts with their eyes one by one, thus treating himself, the emperor, as a fool.

"I ask again this time, is there really no one who has recommended themselves?" The Emperor glanced and continued to speak.

A few bold courtiers below suddenly stood up, and they did not recommend you to go to this battlefield by yourself, but pointed the finger at Ouyang Huaiyu: "The emperor thinks that there is a person here who is quite suitable. ”

The emperor squinted his eyes and saw through their bad stomachs, but he still said indifferently: "Zhang Aiqing, you should tell me, is there anyone in this court who is suitable to go to the frontier to fight?" ”

"According to the minister's opinion, these nineteen princes are a good candidate." Zhang Aiqing suddenly smiled, "The Nineteenth Prince was in the limelight last time when he paid tribute in the feudal country, since he has such a good martial art, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use it." ”

Zhang Aiqing began to dig through old accounts, he thought about the past, and felt that his proposal would definitely not be rejected.

Ouyang Huaiyu stood aside and didn't speak, but the emperor was the first to come out and say no: "Zhang Aiqing's words are too early. Nineteen did think at the beginning that he was young and strong, and he was a good seedling for fighting, but there was a more important thing for him to do. ”

The emperor said that whether it was an excuse or a fact, there was no room for refutation.

After listening to it, he could only secretly complain about his bad luck, raised his head and cautiously glanced at Ouyang Huaiyu, but found that the latter was also looking at him.

A heart suddenly hung up, and Ouyang Huaiyu looked approachable on the surface, but how black the heart was behind his back and how ruthless the means were, it was not a matter of a day or two that there were rumors in the court. 97 Chinese

Luo Licheng stood still and did not move, waiting for the turmoil of this discussion to pass, he suddenly stepped forward and stood up: "The emperor thinks that the minister can go to the frontier. ”

When this sentence was spoken, everyone in the court was dumbfounded.

They know best who Luo Licheng is.

Obviously he was born with a golden soup spoon, and now he has become a horse master, he not only sits in a high position, but also has a lot of power, there is no need to go to the frontier to fight hard to get a piece of glory.

The Emperor was also a little surprised by his words.

He originally wanted to assign a petty official at will, as long as he could trust it, no matter what the official position was.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that someone would really stand up above this court and ask to defend the frontier under the banner of voluntariness.

"It's best if someone is willing to stand up and come on their own." The emperor decided to end this awkward conversation hastily, "It is a blessing for our country to have such an ordinary concubine. ”

He continued, although the complimentary intent in his tone was not obvious, but as long as he had been by the emperor's side for a long time, he could hear that he admired this person very much.

Ouyang Huaiyu kept his eyes half-squinted.

He is now more and more unable to see through what kind of trick Luo Licheng is playing.

Luo Li was like this, and he hurriedly wanted to go to the front line, there must be something terrible going on in Loulan, and he needed to preside over the overall situation.

But the people who arranged it in Loulan have not spoken, or that this matter has not officially happened, and now they are just brewing a storm, like a gale before a storm.

"The emperor praised it falsely, it is Luo's luck to be able to contribute to the country." Luo Licheng responded lightly, not showing much interest in the compliment, "If the war is urgent, I hope the emperor can arrange it as soon as possible, after all, the relationship between the frontier is already extraordinary, and if it drags on for too long, it will not be good after all." ”

The emperor bowed his head, knowing that he was a little anxious.

Luo Licheng was arranged to go to Loulan three days later, and after finding a foothold in Loulan, he would manage the frontier.

The emperor specially assigned him an elite army, with a total of more than 10,000 people, and his combat strength was naturally good, but it was not comparable to the few troops in the palace that were secretly hidden.

Ouyang Huaiyu saw these actions of the emperor, the emperor wanted to win over the relationship and make the situation in the frontier and the interior more stable, but he didn't trust Luo Licheng, otherwise he wouldn't have handed over all the elites to him.

Luo Licheng is a very smart person, and he can feel that although the people he leads are very obedient, their ability is not as great as others.

"This emperor Lao Er really has a heart for me, it seems that this matter can't be handled for him well." The corners of his mouth tugged at the corner of a sinister smile, "But now that these soldiers have fallen into my hands, how to use you depends on what I think." ”

The Emperor had no idea how vicious his mind was, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, not expecting that another trouble would follow.
