"Immediately pass down my decree. Order the border general, Chen Zhibao, to lead 10,000 valiant cavalry to quell the rebellion of the Ning King.”
Zhu Houzhao said lightly.
His words immediately caused an uproar in the imperial court.
Whether it was Yan Song, Li Si, Zhangsun Wuji, or Zhu Bujue, they were all dumbfounded.
Chen Zhibao?
Who was this!
Why had he never heard of it before?
The officials looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
It was as if no one had ever heard of this person!
Or rather, he was not famous at all.
How could such a person be directly appointed as a general by the Emperor and even let him lead the army to attack the Ning Imperial Residence?
Of course, at this moment, many officials from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs also reacted. They thought of Chen Zhibao.
This person was now a general of the border.
The first time he joined the army was when Zhu Houzhao was the Crown Prince. He was given the identity of a border officer.
Due to his strong martial strength, he had resisted many invasions of the foreign races and won a complete victory in the friction at the border, directly earning face for the Ming Dynasty, so the speed of promotion was very fast.
After all, for a general, this kind of actual battle merit could not be ignored. This was the system of promotion.
What many people knew was that this person was decisive in killing, brave in battle, and could be called a tiger general when he went into battle!
However, he hadn't heard any news in the past two years.
Could this person suppress the rebellion?
After the officials from the Ministry of Personnel Affairs announced Chen Zhibao's resume, although everyone had given their approval, a question still appeared in the hearts of the officials.
One had to know that Ning Wang's strength could not be underestimated!
Furthermore, he had many hanger-ons and strategists under him. Just his army alone numbered 100,000.
This was a hundred thousand people, not a hundred thousand cabbages!
At the same time, Prince Ning had raised many outlaws under his command, and the territory he obtained was very rich, so he did not have to worry about logistics at all.
Now, Zhu Houzhao only had Chen Zhibao lead ten thousand cavalry to suppress them. Could it be that he was sending them to their deaths just to test them? Using Chen Zhibao as cannon fodder?
After all, Prince Ning's army was not small. With just ten thousand troops, what could they do other than become cannon fodder?
However, if they did this, once Chen Zhibao's army was destroyed, it would have a huge impact on the morale of the entire army. This made many officials suspicious of this move.
The Emperor was too ruthless.
This was an army of 10,000. Could it be that they were going to die just like that?
Furthermore, according to the official announcement of Chen Zhibao's battle record, this was a general who had made a mistake.
Even so, no one offended the Emperor for someone unrelated to them.
This is His Majesty, he doesn't understand military affairs at all!
However, if you didn't understand, you could find someone who did. There was no need to pretend to be fat.
Even if he let Zhu Bu go, he wouldn't be surprised, but at least there wouldn't be any big mistakes or losses.
"I really don't know why Your Majesty is doing this.”
At this moment, even Zhu Bujue frowned.
He wasn't unhappy because Zhu Houzhao didn't allow him to suppress Prince Ning.
He really didn't understand.
Just Chen Zhibao's 10,000 strong army could defeat Prince Ning?
It was impossible!
Even if it was a team that was brave and good at fighting? If they were faced with an absolute difference in numbers, this was no longer a problem that could be solved by experts.
He knew that Zhu Houzhao was very scheming, and he might even have some confidence.
However, after thinking about it, he still felt that it was very unreliable.
Zhu Hou sat on the dragon throne and looked down at the silent officials. His eyes were cold and he did not give them too much time to think. He directly made a decision and said,"Human cat, listen up. I order you to go to Chen Zhibao's army together.”
This step was called the Military Governor, but in reality, it was to let the cats and humans pacify Prince Ning's forces after the army was wiped out.
When he returned in triumph, he would also build up momentum for the East Chamber.
The goal was to gather Prince Ning's wealth.
With money and power, the East Chamber could only stand firm after it was reestablished.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best.”
The human cat nodded.
"Very good, that's it! Retreat!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction.
He did not give the officials any time to react and immediately announced his withdrawal.
"Retreat!"
The eunuch's sharp voice rang out.
At this moment, the officials were all a little stunned. Before they could react, the Emperor had already stood up and left.
All of them were stunned by this operation.
This emperor was really overbearing!
But now that the imperial edict had been issued, it was the law of heaven and no one could go against it.
After the court session ended.
Many officials also left one after another.
Outside, Li Si and Zhangsun Wuji were walking together.
When they reached a place with no one around, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Lord Chief, what do you think of Prince Ning's rebellion?”
Li Si's gaze was faint as he stared at Zhangsun Wuji.
With the information he had received so far, it could be said to be very complicated.
In addition, the Emperor's incomprehensible actions in court today made him suspect that Prince Ning was the one who was being supported by the Great Tang.
As a representative of the Great Tang in Great Ming, Zhangsun Wuji should be extremely clear about this matter.
This question was also a test.
If this was really the work of the Great Tang, he could plan his next move.
"Lord Li is thinking too much. The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation cannot be defied. Would you do such a thankless thing?”
Zhangsun Wuji rolled his eyes when he heard this and snorted coldly.
He actually had the same thoughts as Li Si.
They even thought that because the Qin country had solved the basic problems in the country, they were already somewhat impatient.
However, this fellow was the first to ask, so he didn't know how to deal with it, so he directly retorted.
He did not want to take the blame for someone.
One had to know that with Great Ming's current situation, the countries did not need to put in much effort, and Great Ming would continue to decline.
So why was there a need to rush to do that thankless thing?
What the various countries needed to do now was to continuously lay out their forces within Great Ming.
When Great Ming perished, they would be able to get a share of the pie.
At this time, it would be a bad thing to bewitch a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty to oppose the Ming court.
Why?
It was nothing more than the transfer of internal contradictions in Great Ming. On the contrary, Great Ming would release a part of the internal pressure, delaying the time of Great Ming's destruction to a certain extent.
The Great Tang wasn't crazy, so why did it have to do this?
"I see. This matter is intriguing.”
Li Si laughed dryly, but he basically believed what she said.
"What's wrong? Could it be that some big countries were already impatient?”
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Li Si sharply.
He wanted to know if this matter was done by the Qin country.
After all, Ying Zheng had an extraordinary obsession with expanding his territory. If he could not wait, it was not impossible.
Otherwise, with just a small Ning Prince, even if he had the courage, he did not have the strength.
"Lord Chief is overthinking."
Li Si scoffed, his expression full of disdain.
Although the Qin country was unreasonable, they were not fools.
Today's land was also obtained bit by bit through the combination of wisdom and force.
But this Zhangsun Wuji treated Ying Zheng as a boor, he was really full of prejudice!
If that was the case, why would he need to give the other party a good face?
"So, could it be…"
Hearing this, Zhangsun Wuji's heart relaxed, but his expression immediately darkened.
At this moment, the two of them looked to the west.
The largest empire in this world existed there-Dayuan.
The two of them looked at each other and their eyes widened. They nodded in unison.
