Chapter 973 Dismayed
Li Diyao said angrily: "So what if I accept it, this time the eldest brother went to the Northern Expedition, what will happen next time? You shouldn't have agreed to adopt Ci'er to the emperor in the first place!"

"Is it up to you to agree or not?" Li Yanxing scolded in a deep voice, "Don't say what you shouldn't say, do you still think that our county prince's mansion is not popular enough and troublesome enough?"

Ying Ning said: "Brother, I will go to see Xiao Shishi and ask him to withdraw this edict and send someone else to go."

"Don't go!" Li Yanxing frowned, "This is an imperial decree, how can it be changed overnight? You are giving someone a handle."

Li Diyao was not reconciled: "I want to know, is this Xiao Shishi's idea, or the cabinet's intention."

"Is there a difference?" Li Yanxing asked back, "What is the emperor's idea, and what is the cabinet's intention? Doesn't the emperor know about this?"

Since the imperial decree was issued, it showed his attitude to a certain extent.

"Father, let's think of a way." Ying Ning said, "Even though elder brother is resourceful, he has never been a commander of an army to fight."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Li Yanxing waved his hands disheartened, "What kind of princes and generals are meaningless in the end."

Ever since Tang Qing had an accident and Zhang Gaoqiu was interrogated and beheaded, his mentality has also changed.

He stood up, as if he had made up his mind: "I will enter the palace right away, ask to see the emperor, and recommend myself to the Northern Expedition!"

"no!"

"Daddy don't want it!"

The three fathers and brothers objected at the same time.

Li Fucheng said: "Father is getting old, with years of old injuries on his body, and he can no longer bear the pain of marching and fighting. It seems that winter is coming, and this battle is not easy to fight. You must not go."

"Brother is right." Li Diyao agreed.

"I don't agree!" Yingning said, "Father, Mother's health is getting worse, and you still have to go out to fight. Even if your health can bear it, how can Mother bear it?"

Li Yanxing sighed and remained silent.

After discussing with the three brothers and sisters, they decided to meet and have a talk with several grand scholars from the cabinet.

Unexpectedly, their father Li Yanxing was faster than them.

When they met with the great scholars, Li Yanxing had already taken the initiative to meet the emperor, and Mao recommended himself as the general of the Northern Expedition.

The reasons he gave were convincing.

In the past 20 years, he had been operating in Beibian Town. Although Tang Qing later inherited the power in Beibian, but now that Tang Qing is gone, his prestige in Beibian is still unmatched.

Although he was old, he commanded soldiers and horses to fight, and he didn't fight the enemy himself with a knife, so it didn't matter at all.

The little emperor was in a dilemma: "But the cabinet has already appointed a big cousin, uncle should go back."

Li Yanxing said unhurriedly: "Does the emperor hope to win the battle?"

"Natural hope."

"Then let the minister go." Li Yanxing said, "Although Li Fucheng is a little clever, he is not good at commanding thousands of troops. When the time comes to lose the battlefield, it will not only lose the salary and the lives of the soldiers. If those cavalry break through Bianzhen, drive straight in, and the big announcement is in danger!"

The little emperor broke out in a cold sweat after saying these words, so he immediately called Lu Qinghan and sent Li Yanxing to be the general of the Northern Expedition.

Li Yanxing was willing to go, so it was a hundred times more secure than Li Fucheng, so there was no reason for the cabinet to be unwilling.

After the three Li Fucheng brothers and sisters knew about this, they were so angry that they almost lifted the roof of the county palace.

Yingning is about to enter the palace to face the saint.

But was stopped by Li Yanxing who rushed back.

For the first time, Li Yanxing reprimanded this eldest daughter whom she loved to the core: "Do you still have Lao Tzu in your eyes? Don't think that the emperor is your cousin, so you can do whatever you want! Remember the duty of a monarch and a minister!"

Li Fucheng shouted: "Father, why did you go to the Northern Expedition instead of me? Don't tell me I'm so stupid in your eyes?"

Li Yanxing sneered: "You go? Once you lose the battle, those soldiers who died, and the people who were burned, killed and looted in the border towns, if you can bear the responsibility, you go!"
