Chu Chen's tone was light: "You mean, Daxia has hit the door, and we still have to make peace in a low voice?" ”

The old minister who spoke was slightly sluggish, bowed his head and said: "If you can sue for peace, it is naturally better than falling into war." ”

When the words fell, almost all the high-ranking ministers nodded in agreement, obviously they all had the same idea.

No one likes war, and war scares people.

Besides, in case of defeat......

"Great Xia took the initiative to provoke a war, and there was no reason to raise an army, it was obviously a wolf's ambition, if we went to sue for peace, we would fall into their hands, they would only feel that the Ling Kingdom was weak and could be bullied, but the lion opened his mouth." The young courtiers obviously had a different opinion, "The ministers thought that the army of the Ling Kingdom was strong, and there was no need to be afraid of the provocations of any country. ”

As the words fell, the young ministers showed approval on their faces.

Most of the old ministers disagreed, and scolded coldly and angrily: "To put it lightly, the war is together, have you thought about the consequences?" The Ling Kingdom is strong at the moment, but once the war arises, it will not end overnight! In addition to a strong army, it also needs a strategic general and a steady supply of grain and grass, which is also a lot of pressure on the national treasury. ”

Of course, the most important thing is who goes to the border to be the general.

At present, there are many generals in the Ling Kingdom, Nan Mohao can do it, Chu Chen can do it, and the eldest princess who was newly crowned before Her Majesty the Empress abdicated can also do it.

But!

It is impossible for Nan Mohao and Chu Chen to drop the regency power in their hands and go to the border at this juncture.

And Chu Ning, not to mention that her child is only a few months old, even if she has all the spare power...... Ministers are now reluctant to watch a female general make another war exploit.

And for the ministers' insistence on this point, how can Chu Chen not know in his heart?

But it didn't matter, and he had no intention of letting Chu Ning go to the battlefield.

"Whether it's war or peace, you don't have to argue anymore." Chu Chen's tone was light, but with a tough, unquestionable meaning, "I have already made a decision with the regent, and we are in agreement on this issue - since Great Xia has taken the initiative to provoke, Lingguo will naturally accompany him to the end." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "You can recommend a brave and good general, if you can defeat Great Xia this time, you will be rewarded." ”

The words fell, and the ministers couldn't help but fall silent.

The old ministers still wanted to say more, but Chu Chen and Nan Mohao were very firm - both of them were military generals, and they were not afraid of war, and it was obviously impossible to try to persuade them to take the initiative to make peace with Daxia this time.

The ministers made a plan in their hearts, and after a heated discussion, in the end, several old ministers unanimously recommended Xiang Shangshu's son Xiang Nan, and spared no effort to praise his Wentao martial arts.

"Xiang Nan?" Chu Chen frowned, familiar to this name, "Is that Xiang Nan who was impeached, married his wife and then divorced?" This person misbehaves and can't handle family affairs well, can he be expected to protect his family and defend the country? ”

Xiang Shangshu's face changed, and he was about to speak, but he heard Nan Mohao say coldly: "The courtier's family affairs have nothing to do with state affairs, if Xiang Gongzi really has the ability to lead the troops, this king doesn't mind letting him lead the troops." ”

Chu Chen turned his head, and his tone was equally cold: "I think people with bad conduct are not suitable for generals." ”

The words fell, and the courtiers all froze.

The atmosphere in the main hall became tense in an instant.

——

After today's update, well, Chu Chen and Nan Mohao are finally going to oppose each other.

This episode is not long, it will pass soon, don't worry.
