"I obey the decree!"
Ning Que hurriedly accepted the order and expressed his gratitude.
The matter was happily settled.
But the other ministers were all dumbfounded.
What’s going on?!
This is what is called the broken window effect.
If Ning Que was directly appointed as deputy general, the officials would definitely not agree. But if he was made commander-in-chief, then all the officials would sit down and discuss how to appoint a deputy general.
In reality, Emperor Feng had no intention of promoting Ning Que to commander-in-chief. He didn't deny that Ning Que was capable, but he had never fought in a war, and no emperor would dare to take such a gamble, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops.

Emperor Feng raised a smile.

However, the Gu family did not make a clear statement. After achieving great success, they continued to maintain close ties with the King of Qi. This made Emperor Feng very dissatisfied, so he punished the Gu family last time!

It’s not that easy!
