After the military intelligence report was read out, before Emperor Qianwu could ask questions, all the ministers looked at Li Changfeng, and the meaning was self-evident.

Li Changfeng's face suddenly became bitter.

He really doesn't want to fight!

Now he just wants to build railways and nuclear weapons, and nothing else is interested.

Da Qian is not without a military general who can fight well, why do you have to keep an eye on him?

Emperor Qianwu asked: "I want to make Li Changfeng go north to conquer the Hu clan, what do you think Aiqing thinks?" ”

Feng Quji took the lead in expressing his position: "The minister thinks it's okay, no one is more suitable than His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes." ”

Immediately followed by Ye Qingcang: "Without further ado, there is no natural danger to defend in the north, and the border defenders are in danger, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes should go out immediately!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded the proposal"

“……”

All are one voice.

Li Ji, who was completely dead, was expressionless, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Li Chengye's face was gloomy, and his fists were clenched.

Li Changfeng looked helpless.

Emperor Qianwu raised his hand and motioned for his ministers to shut up and looked at Chen Dingyuan, the head of the household.

"There is no mistake in the grain and grass."

Chen Dingyuan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty rest assured! ”

Now, everyone no longer discusses the issue of silver, after all, the Hu clan has hit the door, and it is impossible not to fight back.

They sighed with emotion in their hearts: If it weren't for Li Changfeng's suggestion that the contractor advance funds for the construction of the railway, and then pay after passing the inspection, I am afraid that the treasury of the great cadres would have been emptied.

So far, apart from a little money for the preparation of the Ministry of Railways, the treasury of Daqian has hardly spent any large money.

The railway project, which was in full swing, cost them all their money, which made them feel a little awkward.

Emperor Qianwu also secretly sighed in his heart that Li Changfeng was wise, but now was not the time to think about these things, he was just about to make an order but was preempted by Li Changfeng.

"Father, the son is not suitable to go to the north to fight."

Emperor Qianwu's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "The country is in trouble, and you have an unshirkable responsibility as a prince, how can you shirk?" ”

Li Chengye became excited.

He also understands military strategy, and he has also studied Li Changfeng's detailed battle reports in Zhennanguan and Dingyang City last time, and he feels that he can take on this heavy responsibility.

If the northern expedition goes well, then he will have the confidence to compete with Li Changfeng, and it is not impossible to compete for the position of prince.

However, he did not express his position immediately, and he would wait until Li Changfeng completely annoyed Emperor Qianwu, so that the chances of success were greater.

Li Changfeng arched his hand and said: "Father, it's not that the sons don't want to go, it's that the Ministry of Railways has just been established, and all the projects have just begun, so it's not okay to stare at them without the sons!" ”

In this regard, Emperor Qianwu still recognized it very much.

During this time, Li Changfeng was really unprecedentedly diligent, and he rarely slept until he woke up naturally.

However, compared with the Hu soldiers in the north, the affairs of the Ministry of Railways are not worth mentioning, and Emperor Qianwu said solemnly: "Let this matter go." ”

Li Changfeng was helpless, glanced at Ye Qingcang and said, "It's better to let General Ye take command." ”

Without waiting for Emperor Qianwu to speak, Ye Qingcang shook his head first: "The old minister has no experience in the use of thermal weapons, so it is safer for His Highness to go down." Besides, the younger generation of generals also need to have the opportunity to train, and we old guys will have to retire sooner or later. ”

Li Changfeng didn't give up, and continued: "General Ye is humble, you have studied the battle report......

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Qianwu's angry voice: "Bastard thing, what do you think of pushing three or four things?" ”

Seeing Emperor Qianwu's annoyed expression, Li Chengye felt that his opportunity had come, so he hurriedly stepped out and said loudly: "My son is willing to take command and go out to relieve my father's worries!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked and looked at Li Chengye.

Obviously, this is to steal credit.

Is the battle for the succession about to start again?

Li Ji also looked at Li Chengye with interest, and secretly said that there was a good show.

However, Emperor Qianwu did not hesitate to deny it directly.

"You can't!"

He didn't even have an explanation, he continued to stare at Li Changfeng, and said in a tone that could not be refused: "I have named you the ...... of the North."

Li Changfeng hurriedly interrupted: "Father, Li Chengye is worthy of this responsibility. He fought three battles with the prince and performed well in command, and no one knows more about the artillery battalion and the musket battalion than him, he can! ”

Emperor Qianwu frowned slightly, a little hesitant.

The ignored Li Chengye trembled angrily, and could only retreat silently.

Li Changfeng continued: "At the beginning, the third battle in Dingyang City was almost commanded by Li Jianye alone, and he had no problem at all. Father, you have to believe him, it's not that the sons are unwilling to go, it's really that the sweet potatoes have just been planted, and the sons can't do it if they don't stare at it! ”

Speaking of sweet potatoes, Emperor Qianwu made up his mind.

Li Jianye does have the experience and ability to take on this heavy responsibility.

He glanced around at the ministers and asked, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

Li Changfeng obviously didn't want to go north, so there was no need to offend him in this kind of thing.

At the same time, they also felt that Li Jianye could indeed take on this important responsibility, so they nodded in agreement.

"What His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes said is extremely true."

"His Royal Highness Jianye can take on this responsibility."

"The Ministry of Railways project really needs to be watched."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

“……”

Seeing that the ministers had no opinions, Emperor Qianwu immediately made a decision and announced that Li Jianye would take up the post of general of the Northern Expedition and set off tomorrow.

Then Emperor Qianwu began to arrange matters related to supporting the Northern Expedition, but many ministers were absent-minded and glanced at Li Changfeng from time to time.

From what Li Changfeng said just now, they got a piece of news that they had never heard before, planting sweet potatoes.

Emperor Qianwu, who was originally a little hesitant, seemed to have made up his mind after hearing this.

What exactly is a sweet potato?

Is it eaten?

Listening to the name should be a kind of melon fruit.

But just melons and fruits, as for Emperor Qianwu to pay so much attention?

Many ministers felt that Li Changfeng must be secretly making some big moves, and judging from past experience, he would definitely shock the world in the future.

Li Changfeng was thinking about the soldiers who died soon because of the inflammation and infection of the wound.

When will penicillin be completed in human trials and mass production?

Li Changfeng was a little anxious.

Li Jianye didn't know that he was pushed to the position of generalissimo of the Northern Expedition by Li Changfeng, and practiced marksmanship in the musket battalion.

When he received the holy decree, he was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and immediately cheered.

"Great, this prince can finally take command and go on the expedition!"

Li Jianye was very confident in this northern expedition.

Because compared with Li Changfeng's southern expedition, the musket battalion of the northern expedition this time had 500 muskets, and its strength increased dramatically.

When he learned that it was Li Changfeng who did not hesitate to annoy Emperor Qianwu and strongly recommended him to go north, he was very moved.

"Brother Jiu is really righteous!"

The early dynasty ended the preparations of the various ministries, and the news quickly spread throughout the capital, and many people were a little surprised that Li Changfeng did not take command of the expedition.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Jianye led the artillery battalion and musket battalion on the same day, carrying a large amount of ammunition, and went straight to the north under the escort of the army.
