Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked at Xiong Tingbi and the other two in front of him. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Do you think it's a bit difficult for me to have a peaceful world? Or am I being too greedy?"

"Your Majesty, we are willing to help you settle the matter!" Xiong Tingbi and the other two knelt on the ground and said loudly.

Zhu Youxiao remained calm, looking at Xiong Tingbi and the other two and asking, "Can we pacify them?"

Xiong Tingbi took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the troubles in this world are all caused by people looking for trouble. Without those who are looking for trouble, the world will naturally be peaceful."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed, and his laughter was very happy.

Xiong Tingbi and the other two were a little confused and didn't know why the emperor was laughing like that.

Is this really that funny? Isn't this just a common truth? Why are you laughing like this?

However, none of Xiong Tingbi and the other two dared to speak, as they had no idea what the emperor was thinking.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Who knows if speaking out at this time will make him unhappy?

Zhu Youxiao didn't look at Xiong Tingbi and the others. After laughing for a while, he walked back to the throne and sat down. He glanced at the three of them and said, "Xiong Aiqing, you are right. Very good! Indeed, I overthink some things."

"Then get ready." After saying that, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Wang Zaijin and said, "Take your people and go directly into Daning City."

"I want to see who has the final say in this world!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Zai Jin said quickly, his face full of joy.

Everyone in Liaodong has been feeling pent up for a while now. The last time we fought a major battle, we didn't get any chance and didn't get any credit, which made us feel very uncomfortable. Now that we have the opportunity this time, we must fight it out.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xiong Tingbi and said, "Take your men to the Tieling-Qinghe line. In other words, just wait and see. If the Mongols make any move, lead your men westward to fight."

"Fight me hard! You always said I wouldn't give you a chance, but this time I'm giving you a chance, so make sure you don't waste it."

Xiong Tingbi and Wang Zaijin knelt down together and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. We will definitely not let you down!"

"Then go." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.

After Xiong Tingbi and the other two left, Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Ziyan beside him and asked with a smile, "Do you feel wronged? Do you feel unhappy?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not do that." Bi Ziyan said hurriedly.

"It's not that I don't dare, but that I don't have the idea." Zhu Youxiao laughed after hearing this.

Seeing Bi Ziyan trying to explain, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "No need to explain. I understand. There's nothing wrong with explaining. It's human nature."

"Training in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, who wouldn't want to show off? You've learned the arts of literature and martial arts, and sold goods to the emperor. You've done so much, and I won't give you a chance. It's only natural that you feel wronged."

"I am not the kind of emperor who would wrong others, so I will give you a chance this time."

After hearing this, Bi Ziyan's eyes lit up and his expression became excited.

He looked up at Zhu Youxiao, waiting for things to be explained.

Glancing at Bi Ziyan, Zhu Youxiao said directly, "But we must make one thing clear. This time, when I leave, I will take Xiong Tingbi and Wang Zaijin with me. These two have been in Liaodong for many years and have made great contributions. Regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, they will leave with me."

"But you're different. You still have to stay in Liaodong. I won't hide it from you. After those two leave, I don't plan to appoint so many governors in Liaodong anymore."

"A Liaodong Governor is enough to manage a small area in Liaodong. I intend to give you this position. Do you understand?"

Bi Ziyan quickly said, "Your Majesty, I thank you! I will definitely live up to your trust!"

"Don't rush to thank me yet." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "If you really go to fight this time, it would be best if you win. I will promote you."

"But if you lose, your promotion will be lost. By then, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in Liaodong anymore."

"You have to think carefully about what's more important. If you don't intervene this time, your position will still be the Governor of Liaodong. Think carefully and don't make the wrong choice."

After hearing this, Bi Ziyan's expression suddenly became firm.

Although the emperor said so, you would be a fool if you believed it.

A minister who is irresponsible and afraid to act at critical moments is of no use to the emperor. Even if you are promoted, that's all you can do. You won't be able to stay in this position for long.

Bi Ziyan said directly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have made up my mind. This battle must be fought."

"Not only do I have to fight, but I also have to be beautiful. I will definitely not be inferior to them! Being an official is to do things. I don't become an official just for the sake of being an official."

Bi Ziyan’s words were beautiful.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and said, "Very good, well said. I hope you can do things as well as you say. Then go ahead and do it well."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Ziyan agreed loudly, then kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao, stood up and walked out.

Looking at Bi Ziyan's back, Zhu Youxiao waved to Chen Hong, who was not far away, and said, "Spread the word. Say that Bi Ziyan gambled his career for this opportunity to go to the battlefield. If he succeeds, he will be the governor of Liaodong. If he fails, he will no longer be an official in Liaodong."
