The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1151 Let’s Talk

The grand scene of the five army commanders gathering in the Governor's Office's Administration Hall was very rare. The last time it was seen was three years ago.

"What a coincidence! I originally planned to go to various armies in person to inspect them and meet the five veteran generals after sorting out many matters in the Governor's Office. I didn't expect you to arrive first and be so polite that I am ashamed!"

Sheng Yuan sat at the head of the five people. He did not seem to be restrained at all. He greeted everyone in a pleasant manner, as if he could not understand other people's expressions.

"Deputy Commander Sheng, you are too polite. Since the emperor has ordered you to command the five armies, we, who can only fight on the battlefield, will naturally follow the emperor's orders." Qiu Jimin said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan took a closer look at this old man whose nose was neither a nose nor his eyes were neither eyes from the beginning.

This man was quite interesting. What he said was the emperor's order, but his sidelong glance and his growing beard seemed to be shouting that he was not convinced.

"Okay!" Sheng Yuan automatically ignored his attitude, adhering to the principle of "complying with whichever side has the advantage", and only recognized the literal meaning of the other party's words.

"He is indeed worthy of being the commander of the 'Southern Sentinel Army' who was praised by Emperor Xianchengyuan and Emperor Xianjinghe! General Qiu has vision, knows etiquette, and understands loyalty and righteousness!" Sheng Yuan applauded and praised loudly under the gaze of several pairs of astonished eyes.

Qiu Jimin was stunned. He had a shocked expression on his face, as if saying, "What are you talking about? Don't you understand the hidden meaning? Are you kidding me?!" He didn't finish his words for a long time.

However, Jie Yuzhen of the Northern Sentry quickly recovered from his shock.

Although the actions of this female governor seem a bit abstract, it doesn't matter. If you think carefully, you can still get a rough idea of ​​her temperament.

"You are thick-skinned and have a big heart, you are not embarrassed, you pretend to be deaf and dumb and talk to yourself; you can talk as much as you want, but I will just return to focus on what you are doing." Qi Hanyuan, the central army soldier, squinted his eyes, and suddenly this doggerel poem widely circulated in the army for mutual ridicule emerged in his mind.

How to put it, this poem was originally intended to mock the five military commanders for blaming each other, but in his opinion, it could also be used to describe cunning civil officials.

Well, especially this guy named Sheng in front of me.

"Old generals, please express your opinions!" Sheng Yuan waved his hands and continued to applaud as he looked at everyone, his face and eyes full of encouragement. "I'm thinking that the five armies in the capital advance and retreat together and make progress together, and the commanders are familiar with each other. Logically, your ideas shouldn't be too different, right?!"

The few people who originally wanted to make trouble never expected that not long after the opening, they were actually speechless!

"Haha, Commander Qiu is absolutely right. I totally agree with you!"

"It is the duty of the minister to obey the emperor's orders, so we will obey them!"

"Deputy Commander Sheng has no need to be suspicious. The five armies are loyal to the emperor and this will never change!" Three of the five people agreed loudly. The remaining two who remained silent were Commander Qiu Jimin, who was mentioned in everyone's conversation, and the other was the seldom-spoken Commander of the Central Army Qi Hanyuan.

When everyone had finished speaking, Qi Hanyuan stroked his beard, his dark eyes like a deep well, staring at Sheng Yuan and asking softly, "The five armies have expressed their loyalty, but it is Deputy Commander Sheng... I wonder which side you are loyal to?"

As soon as he said this, the other people's eyes immediately turned to him.

Facing five pairs of piercing eyes, Sheng Yuan did not answer but asked: "Everyone knows that the five armies are loyal, but I don't know to which side the five armies are loyal?"

"It is the Jiang Dynasty!" Xiang Fan, the general of the East Camp Army, immediately clasped his fists and bowed towards the direction of the imperial city.

"The Jiang Dynasty? That's a lot of people! Not to mention the nearly 100 men with the surname Jiang in the royal family, even the Prince of Zhao, the Prince of Jing, and Princess Yongping, who doesn't have the surname Jiang?"

"We are loyal to the emperor on the throne! For the sake of the country and the people of Chu! Don't mention irrelevant people!" Qiu Jimin couldn't help but slammed the table and roared loudly, "Without the emperor's seal and imperial decree, even if you, Sheng Wenzhen, sit in the position of the first deputy commander of the Five Armies Command Office, you can't mobilize a single soldier from the Five Armies!"

"My fellow old generals, please watch carefully!" Sheng Yuan slapped a small seal on the table with his backhand.

The five people first felt the table they were holding on suddenly shake, then they looked carefully and couldn't help but gasp.

Why is the seal of the Five Armies Commander held by the Emperor himself in Sheng Wenzhen's hands?

"If you have any doubts, you can take it and examine it carefully, so as to avoid accusing me of using a fake to fool you!"

Xiang Fan of the Dongying Army wanted to reach out his hand when he heard the sound, but before he moved, Jie Yuzhen of the Beishao Army held him down.

"Deputy Governor Sheng, we are waiting for your inspection at the Fifth Army Camp!" Qi Hanyuan, the commander of the Central Army, stood up first, looked directly into Sheng Yuan's eyes, and made an invitation.

Seeing this, the other people also stood up, bowed and said the same thing.

"I am looking forward to seeing all of you old generals again!" Sheng Yuan nodded gently and accepted the invitation with an unchanged smile.

"Then we will take our leave first!" The five men did not want to fight any more, and after reaching an agreement, they left in the same hurry as when they came, so quickly that people were confused.

  No, what does it mean to come and go so suddenly? !

"Miss, what do they mean?" Xiaoyao, who also didn't understand, looked at the Administrative Office which had returned to peace, and looked at her young lady in confusion.

"Can't you see it?!" Sheng Yuan looked at the direction where the five people left with an unpredictable look. After sneering, he tapped Xiaoyao's forehead and said, "Them? They want to see my skills and test my abilities!"
