Chapter 407
However, although Zhao Quan opened his eyes, he still remained silent.

Zhao Ziji was in a dilemma, so he could only ask Cao Gang: "Cao Aiqing is the chief minister of the military aircraft, so don't move lightly...Should I...negotiate again?"

Cao Gang knew that Zhao Ziji didn't dare to make this decision, so naturally he wouldn't force him, so he said, "Your Highness is right, but Shandong can't be headless..."

"That's right!" Zhao Ziji nodded, and said to Cao Gang, "In accordance with Cao Aiqing's advice, first transfer Li Ji to know the Jinan Prefecture and take charge of government affairs!"

Li Ji is Li Zhun's son. He has been an official outside the country for many years, and he has made great contributions in governing Shen County. I believe that the emperor will have no objection to this reward!Zhao Ziji secretly glanced at Zhao Quan, and seeing that Zhao Quan did not look unhappy, he was relieved a lot.

The decision to transfer Li Ji to Shandong was not opposed by the court ministers. After retiring from the court, Zhao Ziji kept Ji Ping, Cao Gang and Shi Zhongyuan behind.

Only then did Zhao Quan speak, and asked Cao Gang, "Cao Aiqing, is the war in Lubei not going well?"

It turned out that Zhao Quan thought that there was something wrong with Shandong, so Cao just took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Shandong to take charge of the overall situation.

Cao Gang took a look at Zhao Quan's expression and felt that it was time, so he prostrated himself on the ground and said: "Qizou the emperor, the old minister has neglected his duties. When dealing with the report last night, he found an urgent report from the frontier army!"

After all, Cao Gang presented the memorial in his arms with both hands, and the eunuch presented it to Zhao Quan for inspection.

Zhao Quan opened the memorial, then frowned.

"Bastard!" Zhao Quan shook the report and said in a hateful voice, "The 30 Liao army invaded at the beginning of the month, why did the report delay until now?"

"The old minister is negligent, please the emperor be guilty!" Cao Gang is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, he has made up his mind to go to Shandong. The emperor's temper is really against him. Xiao Mo is right, only Li Zhun In order to make him obey!
Zhao Quan was expressionless, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you negligent?"

An emperor would naturally not be a fool. As a privy envoy, Cao Gang didn't even know that the enemy army was coming, so what's the use of this privy envoy?

What's more, Cao Gang is also an old courtier, Zhao Quan will believe that he was negligent for a while, and did not find this memorial that is related to the survival of the country?

So Zhao Quan wants to ask clearly!
Without Zhao Quan's order, Cao Gang could only prostrate himself on the ground, and replied: "Your Majesty, at the time when the court was in trouble, the King of Qin was taking power, and the Emperor was seriously ill, so the veterans dared not report it!"

"Then you just let the Liao army invade? How is the war in the north now?" Zhao Quan asked with concern.

Cao Gang said: "Huyan Liancheng's [-] troops and General Liang are stalemate in Taiyuan, and now they are waiting for the backup of the Liao army!"

"Now that soldiers are approaching the city, is there any room for relaxation?" Zhao Quan glanced at Ji Ping.

Sure enough, after Zhao Quan heard that the Liao army had invaded, his first reaction was to seek peace!

Ji Ping shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this time, the Liao Kingdom is deceiving me that there is no one in the court, and won't let it go!"

Zhao Quan slapped the table and said angrily, "Too much deceit!"

As an emperor, if an enemy country invades, of course he will be a little angry.

Cao Gang was waiting for Zhao Quan to get angry, and taking advantage of this opportunity, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Liao Kingdom has deceived people too much, why should we be afraid of him?"

Zhao Quan calmed down upon hearing this, looked at Cao Gang and said, "Get up and talk first!"

Cao Gang stood up and thanked him. Although Zhao Quan didn't blame himself, he omitted the name Cao Aiqing. It seemed that Zhao Quan was a little angry.

"You mean to start a war with the Liao Kingdom?" Zhao Quan frowned and asked.

Cao Gang nodded, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this battle is unavoidable. Otherwise, I will become a foreigner's vassal from now on. Where is the majesty of my ancestors?"

Ji Ping also nodded, and said: "The minister also seconded the proposal!"

Zhao Quan asked, "According to the opinions of the two of you, who is handsome?"

Cao Gang and Ji Ping looked at each other, and then said at the same time: "Master Li!"

Li Zhun has just returned from a big victory in Shandong, and it is exactly what the army wants, of course it must be him!
But Zhao Quan frowned and said, "Li Zhun is a civil servant, and...the Liao Kingdom is no better than Shandong!"

Seeing Zhao Quan's hesitation, Shi Zhongyuan said at this time: "Your Majesty, I recommend another person, how about Xiao Mo, the minister in white?"

"Xiao Mo?" Zhao Quan shook his head again and said, "Too young, besides..." After hesitating for a while, Zhao Quan continued: "Besides, Xiao Mo will be the son-in-law if I agreed to his marriage with An Ning. Putting him in command is against the ancestral system!"

Shi Zhongyuan was not reconciled, and continued to admonish Zhao Quan: "Your Majesty, if the country does not exist, what is the use of the ancestral system? Lord Xiao is good at using troops. In the battle of Yizhou, he defeated the White Lotus Sect. It was an unprecedented battle. He is indeed a talent who knows the world! Such resourcefulness, if he cannot serve the country because of the shackles of the ancestral system, it would be too much!"

Zhao Quan also sighed, Xiao Mo's talent really surprised him, but... what to do?
You, Cao Gang, even kept the border war from me. Wait until I announce his marriage to the princess, and then tell me that the country needs Xiao Mo?
Are you kidding me?
Zhao Quan was not happy, and said to Shi Zhongyuan: "But now Xiao Mo is going back to his hometown to be a filial piety for his mother, how can he call him?"

All right!When filial piety was involved, Shi Zhongyuan had no choice but to keep silent.

As a result, the hall fell silent, and the monarchs and ministers frowned, then pondered.

After looking at the people in the court from beginning to end, there was no suitable candidate. In the end, both Cao Gang and Ji Ping couldn't help but sigh.

After all, Li Zhun is the most suitable, but Zhao Quan has said that Li Zhun is a civil servant, and the Liao Kingdom is not the White Lotus Sect...

How to do?
Just when everyone was confused, Zhao Ziji suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Quan. Zhao Quan looked puzzled at the prince prostrating on the ground, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Is it scary at first glance?
Zhao Quan was upset, why did this prince kneel at every turn?
Do you still look like a prince?

People are like this, they only think from their own point of view, Zhao Quan is the same, I can only see Zhao Ziji's temper is weak, but I don't know why Zhao Ziji's temper has become like this!
It's not because Zhao Ziji hasn't been taken seriously for many years, and he has been suppressed by Zhao Zixuan all the time, that's why he has a little inferiority complex, and thus his temper has become weak!

Zhao Ziji leaned on the ground and said: "Father, my son please order me to go to Taiyuan to fight on behalf of my father!"

"what?"

When Zhao Ziji's words came out, not only Ji Ping, Cao Gang, and Shi Zhongyuan, but even Zhao Quan were surprised.

Is this still the gentle and gentle Prince Yu?He actually took the initiative to ask Ying to be in command, to go to the battlefield to fight?
