"Your Majesty, I believe that if we must choose a governor, Liu Qi should be appointed."

"Your Majesty, Yue Fei is still young and lacks composure. His victory over Yelü Dashi this time had a lot of luck involved!"

...

The more Zhao Huan listened, the more his brows furrowed.

The emperor suddenly shouted sternly, "Luck? You mean that the Marquis of Champion's defeat of the Xiongnu was also due to luck, and Wei Qing's victory over the Xiongnu was also due to luck! The entire reign of Emperor Wu was filled with luck!"

"Your Majesty, that's not what we meant..."

Zhao Huan stood up abruptly and roared, "Then what do you mean by this!"

Before the ministers could continue, the emperor erupted in fury: "You stand in the court and say whatever comes to mind! Luck? You go to the northwest and try it a thousand times, and see if you can succeed even once!"

Seeing that the emperor had completely turned hostile, no one dared to speak anymore.

"If I ever hear anyone again say that the Song soldiers' victory was due to luck, I will take their head!"

"All the victories were won with the blood of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty!"

The emperor's voice was full of majesty, as if the heavens were angry, echoing in the hall and shaking the very soul.

"Guards! Draft an imperial edict: I hereby appoint Yue Fei as the Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest War Zone!"

The emperor paced around twice and continued loudly, "Don't forget! Just a few days ago you were arguing endlessly about the military rations. Who solved this problem for you!"

"Let me tell you! I'm handing over the Northwest War Zone to Yue Fei right now! Anyone who disagrees, get out of my sight!"

"Summon Yue Fei back! I will set up a platform in Tokyo to appoint Yue Fei as the Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest War Zone!"

The emperor said with a gloomy face, "Don't you all have any idea how messy the military food supply is in the Northwest Theater?!"

"You can't handle the military rations, so I'm sending Yue Fei to manage it!"

"Is this going to affect the interests of certain people again?" The emperor didn't mince words. "I refuse to believe that Yue Fei's numerous military achievements are not enough to qualify him for the position of Governor-General of the Northwest War Zone! I now intend to have Yue Fei strictly govern the Northwest! Including the issue of military rations! If anyone dares to tamper with military rations again, I will exterminate their entire family!"
