Xu Yingxu gritted his teeth; he shouldn't have trusted Chang Mao. Who was Chang Mao? Leaving aside his status as the emperor's uncle, as the son of Chang Yuchun and the son-in-law of Feng Sheng, Chang Mao was the one who, while drunk, nearly killed Nahachu when Feng Sheng subdued him, causing Nahachu's rebellion!

If it weren't for the legacy of Chang Yuchun, or even if the legacy of Chang Yuchun were to be of no use, it would be too late for Chang Mao to escape execution. If he hadn't had a nephew who was the emperor, he would have been dismissed from office, or at least exiled.

Chang Mao didn't care about any of that. He could just continue playing the role of a ruthless opportunist. He didn't need to worry about so much; he just needed to blindly support the emperor.

Although Xu Yingxu was somewhat furious, he was truly helpless against Chang Mao. First of all, he was just a marquis, and even his elder brother Xu Huizu was sometimes helpless against Chang Mao.

The only one capable of dealing with Chang Mao is Duke Liang, Lan Yu. Everyone else is utterly useless against him. Even Feng Sheng, one of the great war gods of the Ming Dynasty in his early years, couldn't handle him. Chang Mao is a ruthless scoundrel who even dared to betray his own father-in-law!

Just as Xu Yingxu was about to step forward, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the war against Goryeo is progressing smoothly, and with autumn and winter approaching, the war should be temporarily suspended, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty should defend the borders."

That's fine. Many people know that the Ming Dynasty's war in Goryeo is progressing smoothly, and they also know that the Ming Dynasty is now preparing to stabilize its defenses.

At this moment, Li Jinglong spoke up again, "I believe that it is easy to find a thousand soldiers but difficult to find a good general. The founding generals are either old or dead. The court should train generals in Goryeo!"

Good heavens! Everyone suddenly realized that Duke Cao was trying to gain benefits for the Martial Academy under his command and seize the opportunity to make a name for himself!
