Chapter 420
Emperor Changxing had bad eyesight, but he could still see clearly at this moment.

Although the Minister of Rites in front of him was an old man, his expression was neither humble nor overbearing.

He looked up at the group of courtiers kneeling on the ground far outside the hall, and suddenly his head hurt and his hands itched.

"Your Majesty, drink some tea to moisten your mouth first."

Chang Lu was clever, and quickly poured a cup of ginseng tea and sent it to Emperor Changxing.

To save him from being angry for a while, he directly grabbed the paperweight or other objects on the dragon table and threw them at Fan Wen.

Fan Wen is old, but he can't bear to be hit again.

There was no sound in the Golden Palace, except for breathing.

Ha ha.

Luo Ken, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, broke the deadlock and stood up with a beard.

"Your Majesty, the veteran agrees with what Fan Shangshu and colleagues have said."

"Although Xiliang has withdrawn from our frontier for the time being, it is well known that the King of the Grassland is determined to die, and no one knows whether they will make a comeback in the next moment. Therefore, it is necessary to support Dingxi County quickly and have enough troops and supplies."

Emperor Changxing took a deep look at him, first asked the courtiers kneeling outside the hall to stand up, and then silently uttered a word: "Quite!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Ken bowed to Emperor Changxing above, "As for the recall of General Tian Hong Yantian, the veteran has objections."

hum~
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had just shown joy, but at this moment they couldn't help being excited again.

Emperor Changxing's eyes lit up, "Tell me about Aiqing."

Although Tian Hongyan was not very good at fighting, no matter in the south, north or west, the Yanhui Legion had almost no achievements, but he was obedient.

In the Emperor's heart, this is more important than anything else.

Emperor Changxing knew that the hearts of the people were difficult, but he was still not very happy to replace Tian Hongyan.

Just like the East China Sea barrier destroyed so many warships, Lu Fuhai is still living in Baekje comfortably.

"Your Majesty, among the three main forces in the west, the fortress and the Yingling Legion have suffered heavy casualties and are short of soldiers. Even if the court replenishes them in time, it will take some time to form combat effectiveness."

"At this time, the west side is almost undefended. If General Yanhui is recalled again, if Xiliang invades, the consequences will be disastrous."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Guan Yi, Minister of the Ministry of War beside him.

"The security of the frontier is a matter of the country, so the old minister suggests that we should proceed with caution. At least it won't be too late for His Majesty and the Ministry of War to discuss the new leader of the Yanhui Legion, and then recall Tian Hongyan...for trial."

Emperor Changxing gave Luo Ken an appreciative glance, and nodded slowly.

"Luo Qing's family is justified. I wonder if there are any suitable candidates for General Yan Hui?"

If there is no suitable candidate, it can only be temporarily slowed down.

Everyone looked at the minister of the Ministry of War.

Guan Yi was overjoyed.

Yunchui's five frontier defense regiments and the guards in various places are theoretically under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.It's aggrieved to say that, in fact, so far Guan Yi can only talk a little bit about a barrier in the East China Sea.

For the other Xingluo, Yingling, Yanhui and the Central Army, except for the fact that their soldiers need to report to the Ministry of Defense when they are promoted, they basically have nothing to do with Yi.

He stood up just as he was about to speak, but someone was already a step ahead.

"Your Majesty," the current Grand Master Ren Yi saluted, "I recommend a man who is very suitable to be the leading general of the Yan Hui Army."

The veins on Emperor Changxing's forehead twitched.

The civil and military officials who can stand on the Golden Palace are almost all human beings, and they can more or less guess what Baotian Hongyan is thinking.

It's a pity that some people can be strong without desires.

For example, Fan Wen, who is old and full of benevolence and morality, the Fan family has no intention of going further.

Otherwise, Princess Jin wouldn't be chasing her husband all over Xingjicheng with a knife. They probably never thought that they would be able to marry the world one day.

Back then when Xingluo and Zhennanguan sent troops to Nanfeng, Princess Yiguang had knocked this old man with a crested stick, but he still didn't know how to repent.It will jump out at this time, Emperor Changxing is more or less mentally prepared.

However, Taishifu...

Thinking of this name, Emperor Changxing felt helpless.

Forever an emperor.

On the screen wall at the gate of the Grand Master's Mansion, there is an inscription written by the founding emperor Yun Chui, which destined the prosperity and wealth of their whole mansion.Unless the Taishi Mansion rebelled or treasoned, the subsequent emperors really had nothing to do with them.

On the other hand, the Ren family, like Fan Wen, dared to speak up as long as they wanted to.

"I don't know who the grand master is talking about?" Emperor Changxing said with a friendly face.

cough!
Guan Yi next to him coughed remindingly, "Grand Master, according to the rules, the leading general of the Yanhui Legion should be a Yanhui."

Ren Yi smiled and bowed, "What Guan Shangshu said is very true. The person I recommend is the current Dingxi County Commandant Xia Bang as Lord Xia."

coax~
The civil and military officials were commotion again, and they all looked towards Guan Yi.

Fortunately, the military officer said that he had more or less contact with Xia Bangwei, and nodded silently after thinking for a while.

However, Xia Bangwei is extremely unfamiliar to the vast majority of civil servants. If this name had not appeared frequently in the recent battle reports of the fortress, I am afraid they might not know that there is such a person.

"Guan Shangshu," Ren Yi said with a gentle smile, "Master Xia's hometown is Yanhui County in the north, isn't it?"

"Indeed." Guan Yi wanted to procrastinate, but finally bit the bullet and nodded in admission.

After the reorganization of the garrison by Emperor Changxing in the past few years, Yunchui now has only ten county lieutenants left.

As the minister of the Ministry of War, if Guan Yi couldn't remember the information of even ten people, he had to go back and look it up first. It is estimated that his position as minister would soon be unstable.

Ren Yi nodded in satisfaction, and bowed to Emperor Changxing above.

"Your Majesty, Master Xia was born in Yanhui County, and he is also an outstanding general who leads the army."

"Four years ago, His Majesty restructured the local garrison. In the end, there were only ten of the Thirty County Lieutenants, and Master Xia was one of them. It can be seen that His Majesty also highly recognizes his qualifications and ability to lead the army."

cough.

Emperor Changxing coughed, but nodded slightly.

Ren Yi chuckled.

"Three years ago, civil unrest broke out in the four counties of Miwu, Laigu, Tianshui, and Yingling, which severed the connection between the mainland and Dingxi County."

"Master Xia immediately judged the seriousness of the relationship, and led [-] Dingxibei guards to leave the high-walled Dishi City, and stationed in the desolate East-West Post Road and the ancient Yangguan Road."

"Under the circumstances of extreme lack of food and clothing, and court support in the foreseeable future, they withstood the successive attacks of the Xiliang army and sealed the enemy's delusion of entering the Yingling Racecourse and the interior. Finally, the border war was firmly locked. The scope of Dingxi County protects the common people in the interior from the threat of war."

"The credit for this move is not insignificant." Ren Yi turned his head to look at Guan Yi, "Guan Shangshu, I don't know if my words are right or not?"

"The Grand Master is right," Guan Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and nodded under the eyes of everyone, "The Ministry of War is stepping up the review and statistics of Mr. Xia's military achievements, and will give a considerable reward as quickly as possible."

Ren Yi was noncommittal and continued to speak.

"At the end of last month, Yanfeng Fortress decided to launch a counterattack to completely expel the Xiliang people from our country."

"However, as a frontier defense regiment, Yan Hui Tian Hongyan unexpectedly refused to join the battle. Master Xia knew that our troops were insufficient, and that he might die if he went there, but he led his men to leave the ancient Yangguan Road and the East-West Post Road that had been stationed for a long time without hesitation."

"Because of the lack of war horses, they had to travel day and night on two legs. First, they captured a strong enemy's checkpoint, and repelled Xiliang's blocking army several times along the way, and finally crossed half of Dingxi County and arrived outside Dianshi City on time. The victorious counterattack laid the necessary foundation."

"Who dares to say that such a brave and loyal general is not worthy of being the leader of a cowardly army like Yan Hui?"
