Chapter 211 Zhang Zhenguo
The court suddenly became quiet.
The emperor lowered his head to hide the smile on his face.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked, "Anyone else object?"
of course not.
The two ministers were so angry that they fainted.
The emperor didn't even say a word of reprimand.
You can see the emperor's attitude.
These great men of literature and martial arts were not risking their lives, so of course they didn't dare to say another word.
Xu Feng's face was filled with shock. "Oh my, it's finally quiet."
The emperor looked at Xu Feng deeply and signaled that it was enough.
Xu Feng knew when to stop and stood aside again as an invisible man.
The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.
The emperor's majestic gaze fell on the Minister of Revenue, "Prepare the food and fodder first, but the people who transport the food and fodder..."
He glanced over everyone.
I couldn't make up my mind for a moment.
After all, food and fodder are very important.
At this moment, Zhang Zhenguo, the son of the Minister of Revenue, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to transport the grain!"
Xu Feng looked over and examined it carefully.
He knew that Zhang Zhenguo was the Minister of Revenue and the son of Zhang Tianzheng.
The family already had a queen with an unusual status, so even if he did not take the imperial examination, he could still become an official in the court.
It's just... it's just a small monster and is not qualified to transport any traffic.
But this matter had nothing to do with him, he just stood aside and listened quietly.
I thought the emperor would not agree, but unexpectedly, the emperor waved his hand and directly appointed him as a military supervisor.
Military Supervisor!
These two words are worth a thousand gold.
Xu Feng was stunned and looked up at the emperor.
As expected, the most important thing for the emperor of the empire is to weigh the pros and cons and balance the court.
Zhang Zhenguo was extremely excited. "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will do my best to serve you until my death!"
As soon as he expressed his gratitude, someone stood up.
"Your Majesty, this is impossible. He is just a young boy and lacks experience. Food and fodder are important. If anything goes wrong, the court cannot afford it!"
"I second the proposal! Zhang Zhenguo is still young, we should find someone with experience!"
Wherever there are people, there will be fights.
Not to mention the court.
When Prime Minister Wang arrived, thousands and thousands of Prime Minister Wangs stood up.
When they were fighting for fame and fortune, they were all excited and ignored each other.
"I have made up my mind. This happened suddenly. I will set out to fight in three days. I will personally see you off at the city gate. In two days, the food and supplies will be out of the city!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
All the officials were furious.
They were all very angry and just wanted to speak, but the emperor didn't give them any chance. After announcing the imperial edict, he turned and left.
In the hall, the Protector General suddenly laughed out loud, his voice like a bell. "Heroes have always emerged from youth. You defeated the Japanese pirates and brought glory to our country. I hope you can return safely this time too!"
"Yes, you are young, but you are full of courage. This time we will let them see the power of our generals!"
After the court session, many generals gathered around Xu Feng and looked at him with admiration.
These generals also guarded the border and opened up new territories when they were young.
It’s a pity that I’m old now.
Xu Feng's face was solemn and his voice was loud, "Generals, don't worry, I will definitely beat those people until they piss their buttocks!"
"Haha, good, I like to hear that!" The general who guards the country laughed heartily, showing his heroic spirit.
He pulled out a dagger from his waist and said, "This is the trophy I got when I first went to the battlefield. I wish you a safe return!"
The general who defended the country gave gifts, and other generals followed suit.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Feng's arms were full of things.
He felt emotional as he looked at the generals who had gray hair but exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.
They are old and have not fought on the battlefield, but the aura on their bodies comes from fighting among mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and is extremely strong.
Xu Feng clasped his hands together, his heart trembling, "I will never let you down!"
“Well, well, well, well…”
Suddenly there was a heroic laugh.
It can be seen that these old generals are extremely satisfied with Xu Feng.
However, their voices were too loud, and I felt like my ears were about to be deafened by the constant chatter.
For a while, I felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded by these generals.
After the praise, several generals stated their purpose.
Now that they are old, of course they should support the younger generation.
This expedition to the Western Regions is a rare opportunity. I can earn some military merits and rise to a higher position in the future.
Everyone was talking at once, recommending their own juniors.
Xu Feng was in a dilemma. Just when he didn't know what to do, General Zhenbei Lu Houming stepped forward.
He stroked his beard with his hand, "Don't be embarrassed, report to His Majesty if you have anything to say!"
In one sentence, all troubles are eliminated.
Xu Feng clasped his hands together, his face full of gratitude.
He really wasn't used to this kind of environment, so after a few pleasantries, he turned and left.
The army was about to set out, and the people were worried when they heard the news.
"Why are we going to war again?"
"Will it increase taxes if we send food and fodder before the army moves? We've been living in misery these past few years, and now we have to go to war again."
"It's not just a matter of food and fodder, there's also the issue of manpower. Will there be conscription?"
Nine out of ten people go to war and never return.
The people were terrified.
Xu Feng sat in the carriage and listened to the people's discussions, and sighed helplessly.
The emperor has issued an order that he is fully responsible.
Xu Feng had already made up his mind last night that he would lead Honglian and other former members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to the Western Regions, and he did not plan to send out a large army.
It's no longer about quality.
The more people there are, the more food and grass will be wasted, not to mention...
The Western Regions had already made full preparations. If you bring people with low martial arts skills with you, you will only die.
Jinyiwei Station.
As soon as the news came back, it was like a drop of water falling into a frying pan. Everyone was excited and ready to fight.
"Great, great! After we go this time, we will definitely be rewarded for our achievements. By then, we can become high-ranking officials!"
"Why hasn't our master returned yet? I've already made up my mind to volunteer. I heard there are many beauties in the Western Regions. I'll capture a few and bring them back!"
Getting promoted and getting rich is every man's dream.
And beauty cannot be missed.
Listening to those obscene speeches.
Honglian glared at him, "You men have all these obscene things in your heads. Clear them out!"
"Of course, what we think in our heads has nothing to do with you. You just need to take care of the Duke!"
"Yes, yes, you already have a goal, why do you care about us!"
Listening to the jokes from the people below.
Honglian was not shy as usual, but gave him a cold look, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Speak each of the four words with emphasis.
Everyone noticed that the atmosphere was a little off, scratched their heads awkwardly, and turned to disperse.
When Xu Feng came back, he felt a strange atmosphere.
He didn't have time to think about it. He took out a token from his waist and said, "Everyone, listen up. We will go to war in three days. Prepare yourself well! Especially when it comes to martial arts training, you must not neglect it! I hope to take you there and bring you back!"
"Yes! We will follow our master till death!"
