Ma Jin angrily said, "Don't try to quibble. Is it really necessary to recruit 40,000 soldiers to protect the diplomatic mission?"
"Why not? Do you think the Champion Marquis wants to? He also wants to recruit a ninth-grade expert. But is he a good choice? The 40,000 he recruited when he was at the border. If the warriors in those villages weren't all like you, Ma Jin, even 400,000 wouldn't be enough."
An old minister nearby couldn't stand it any longer and advised, "Alas, Marquis Wu'an. The court is discussing matters in a normal way. Why are you cursing like that? What's the difference between you and the common people? General Ma Jin is also for..."
Zhang Erhe's eyes turned and said, "For your father's sake! You old man, why didn't you speak out when Guanjun Hou was being scolded by them? Are you jumping out now to ask for a scolding? If you are so ignorant, you should just retire and return home. Don't occupy the toilet without doing anything."
"Vulgar—vulgar—your Majesty. This Marquis Wu'an is simply crazy."
This scene happens almost every morning these days.
Jiang Li was not surprised at all, it was just that Zhang Erhe's attack power was particularly strong today.
She reminded him, "Lord Zhang, please be careful with your words in the court."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Erhe bowed respectfully and said loudly:
"Now the matter is clear. The Marquis of Guanjun had foresight and was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of the envoy. You said earlier that the Zhenyuan Army traveled thousands of miles for training. Now the Yuxu Palace is bringing hundreds of experts to intercept the envoy. Was this a misunderstanding?"
"We must hold the Marquis of Guanjun responsible for the reinforcements. I, Zhang Erhe, agree. However, it would be difficult to convince everyone if we only investigated him."
"Zhenguo Mansion has always been the pillar of our army. Can we immediately check whether the Zhenguo Mansion has exceeded the limit of the imperial decree?"
"We also need to investigate the Zhenyuan Army to see if they have exceeded the number reported to the Ministry of War. Don't think you can hide this. Please ask the Mirror Division to verify it."
The generals' expressions suddenly became interesting.
In fact, in order to better replenish the manpower, they can expand the staff as soon as possible after casualties. They all have a certain number of reserve soldiers.
This reserve force is definitely overstaffed.
If we really investigate, strictly speaking, they are also disobeying the emperor's order.
Lin Che's 40,000 additional troops were indeed too many, but for an army of the Zhenyuan Army's strength, it was customary to have a few thousand extra reserves.
This Zhang Erhe is going to kill a thousand enemies and lose a thousand of his own.
How is this different from self-destruction?
"Your Majesty, the Jade Void Palace's killing of the envoys is sheer treason. I'm sure the generals of the State Guarding Prefecture will deny any involvement."
"To prove their innocence, why not let them lead their troops to encircle and suppress Yuxu Palace? Let Yuxu Palace know that if they dare to touch our delegation, they will pay the price!"
