Chapter 278 The Battle for Rights (3)
"Sister Yi, the battle at the frontier is tight now, except for Shi Cang Kingdom. Right now, even Dongliang Kingdom is involved. There is a shortage of soldiers, horses, food and grass, and there are unscrupulous generals in the army. There are few victories and many defeats in the war. Three cities have been lost. In addition, there were quite a few soldiers who were infected by knife wounds. Yimei is a capable person, and regarding this, the emperor would like to ask Yimei if she has any effective strategies."

For Zhang Shuman's inexplicable trust, Long Dingkang did not rush to ask the left and right ministers for their opinions.Instead, Zhang Shuman was asked, which made everyone's eyes widen in surprise.

Looking at Zhang Shuman's gaze is even more complicated.On the other hand, Zhang Shuman was not good enough to see Zhang Shuman, so he wanted to lose Zhang Shuman's position when he took the opportunity.Before Zhang Shuman opened his mouth, he retorted faithfully.

"Your Majesty, this is an important matter in the court. How can a daughter's family participate in it. I believe that this war should be discussed in the long term. The food and grass should be raised by [-]% in taxation. There will always be crowding. As for the matter of good generals, my minister I feel that the Second Highness is a rare warrior. If the Second Highness is allowed to fight, he will definitely defeat Shi Cang and Dongliang, and regain the lost ground."

All in all, the right minister just wanted to take the opportunity to let Long Tianba gain military power.I am afraid that only the right minister can understand the calculation in his heart.

"Father, you can't. The second brother is seriously injured. How can he travel far away to fight. In case, some hidden dangers are left by a bad health, the gain will not be worth the loss. From my son's point of view, it is not feasible to increase taxes. Conscription, It has already aroused resentment, and if the tax is increased, there will be even more resentment. Why don't your father mobilize wealthy businessmen, and it is more appropriate to donate some money."

Prince Long Xinyang knew what the right minister was thinking even with his knees.Wolf's ambition, if Long Tianba regains military power, it will be most detrimental to Long Xinyang.If Long Tianba used this to make meritorious deeds, he would come back from the ashes, or directly use his military power to force the palace.

It was even more disadvantageous, clasping his hands together, Long Xinyang hurriedly made a suggestion.Fearing that Long Dingkang would be fooled by the right minister's rhetoric, he really agreed to let Long Tianba take charge of the expedition.

"That's right, Your Majesty, what His Highness the Crown Prince said is unnecessary. The Second Highness is in poor health and is really unwell to go out for the battle. As for His Highness the Crown Prince's suggestion on donating, it is a good idea."

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Zuo subconsciously glanced at the fourth prince who was silent beside him.

There is a fat sheep who is richer than the treasury and is a member of the royal family.It's just a ruthless slaughter, as long as the emperor opens the golden mouth, I'm afraid that the fourth prince will dare not agree.Not to mention donating all, even half is enough.

old fox?
Zhang Shuman caught the flash of light in Zuo Xiang's eyes when he stared at Long Yaoguang.As soon as his eyes rolled, Zhang Shuman immediately guessed that the prime minister wanted to treat the Fourth Prince Long Yaoguang as a fat sheep.But, would Long Yaoguang be so stupid as to donate all his old background?
Playfully glanced at Long Yaoguang who pretended not to know anything and was not in a hurry to stand up and speak out.Raising eyebrows, Zhang Shuman didn't speak, waiting to watch the play.Seeing Prime Minister Right's blue and black face with sharp eyes, he shrugged his shoulders, thinking that Prime Minister Right was too self-righteous.Being smart doesn't mean others are stupid.

Looking at Long Dingkang's expression, he must be wary of Long Tianba, unless his brain is twitching.Only then would he stupidly hand over the military power to Long Tianba, so that Long Tianba could raise his wings and find a chance to force the palace to rebel.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Second Highness is still young and recovers quickly. This small injury can be recovered in a few days, and the rescue will not be delayed. The Second Highness has always had a determination to serve the country loyally. Why don't the emperor give the Second Highness a chance to make up for the past, I believe that the Second Highness will not disappoint the Emperor."

Uncertainly, Prime Minister Zuo gave Prime Minister a hard look. As for the crown prince, Prime Minister Right did not have the guts to express his dissatisfaction clearly.Clasping his fists with both hands, the prime minister stepped forward to beg without giving up.

"The right minister has a heart, but I have my own decision in my heart. Although Tianba is good at martial arts, it is a pity that he is too impulsive and prone to bad things. It is difficult to be the coach. Besides, you are not joking, Tianba is still being punished. Put aside all duties. I will make my own arrangements when I make up my mind. As for what the crown prince said, it is a clever plan. The crown prince will be responsible for collecting food and grass and sending reinforcements. Sister Yi, who do you think of the Xu family? Can you do it?"

Long Dingkang glanced at Prime Minister Right meaningfully, thinking about what Prime Minister Right had in mind.How could Long Dingkang not know, but he was not in a hurry to find out.How could Long Dingkang commit such a foolish thing as letting the tiger go back to the mountain?The right minister and Long Tianba secretly raised a number of dead men, trying to plot against the throne.If the military power is handed over again, Long Dingkang will only agree to the right minister's suggestion unless his brain is pinched by the door.

After scanning around Zuo Xiang and the prince, Long Dingkang finally kicked the ball back to Zhang Shuman.

It is straightforward to point out that the generals for the expedition will be recommended by the Xu family.

Although Xu Yanliang, Minister of the Ministry of War, is a bit older, the tiger father has no dogs.Long Dingkang believes that the Xu family, which can raise such a capable granddaughter, will not let him down.The most important thing is that Long Dingkang has great trust in Zhang Shuman.

Long Dingkang's sudden words were like a bomb, which stirred up waves of shock in everyone's hearts.Zhang Shuman, the person involved, is okay, but Xu Yanliang is still right and equal.But it is ecstasy and extreme anger, both extreme emotions.As for the prince and his line of loyal ministers from the left, he didn't have much complaints about the emperor's sudden decision.

After all, Xu Shangshu's loyalty to the royal family has always been obvious to all.It's just that the matter of the general has yet to be discussed in detail.

Looking at Zhang Shuman with scorching eyes, Xu Yanliang and the last Xu Zhiguang seemed to have been spayed with chicken blood, almost screaming in ecstasy.

"Back to the emperor, my righteous sister doesn't understand the matter of leading troops to fight. I don't know the Xu family too well, but my uncle Xu Zhiguang is a good general."

Fat water does not flow to outsiders' field, Zhang Shuman is very clear about Xu Zhiguang's ability.It's just that he didn't have the chance to get ahead, and he didn't dare to take the position of marshal, but it was more than enough to find a young general.

Hearing that the niece recommended him alone in front of the emperor.Xu Zhiguang was even more excited, feeling that the emperor still had everyone's attention.Xu Zhiguang didn't dare to let Zhang Shuman lose his status, so he straightened his back and let everyone look at him.Seeing Father's approving gaze, Xu Zhiguang was even more excited than himself.

"General?"

Following everyone's gaze, Long Dingkang glanced at Xu Zhiguang, who was in good spirits, and nodded.But he was just a general, far from Long Dingkang's target candidate.What Long Dingkang really wanted was a commander who could take the seal of command and command thousands of troops.

In addition to being courageous, wit is also indispensable, and the most important thing is to use the art of war freely.

"That's right, the marshal that the emperor wants to find is a matter of great importance to the emperor himself to decide. Yimei believes that there is always a suitable candidate for the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty."
