Chapter 115 The Right Person
"Oh, right, Taizu told me in a dream that Bai Li is a deity sent by the Bodhisattva to aid the Great Zhou. What do you think of her recruiting and training the new soldiers?"
"Your Majesty, you cannot do that!"
Before Nangong Min could say anything, Shangguan Yu spoke up.
"Bai Li is just an ordinary woman. Although her skills are a little better than those of ordinary women, she is not a supernatural being. Your Majesty should not expect too much from her."
Shangguan Yu finished speaking hastily, and lowered his head for fear that others would see his guilty conscience.
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with oppression and inquiry.
"Then who do you think can take on this important task?"
"Your humble servant... I don't know."
Shang Guanyu's face turned red from holding it in, and he took a long time to utter this sentence.
Zhou Yu shook his head secretly. Shangguan Yu’s narrow-mindedness made it difficult for him to achieve anything.
"Well, since you don't have a better candidate, I have decided to use Bai Li.
Nangong Min, you must fully cooperate with her and obey her orders.
As for official positions, she holds a golden medal as if I were here in person, which is enough to give you orders, right?"
Nangong Min was frightened and hurriedly claimed that he would cooperate with all his strength and would not slack off in the slightest.
Seeing Shangguan Yu still in a daze, he quickly pulled him.
"emperor……"
Shangguan Yu still wanted to persuade him that this was inappropriate, but the gold medal had already been given away and there was no reason to take it back without reason.
Can……
The gold medal representing the emperor's status, representing supreme power and glory, why was it given to Bai Li like this? ! !
"Why, Lieutenant General Shangguan still has doubts about my decision?"
"I dare not, I dare not..."
Shangguan Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and kept saying that he didn't dare to move forward quietly. It was so cold that he broke out in a cold sweat!
Nangong Min is also very disappointed with him and is considering whether he should replace the person around him.
Shangguan Yu is just like his sister, narrow-minded, confused, and stubborn.
He had been holding a grudge against Bai Li for slapping him in the face when they first met, and his repeated attempts to persuade him had been in vain. He was extremely disappointed in him.
As soon as Nangong Min raised his head, he met Zhou Yu's gaze. His scalp went numb and he was about to speak when a cold voice came.
"Cousin, you need to have more capable people around you. Do you have any suitable candidates?"
"I wonder if the Emperor has anything good to recommend?"
"Promote some people from the military camp instead of always looking for people from some aristocratic families!"
As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Shangguan Yu's face turned pale!
Does the emperor mean that the children of aristocratic families are not suitable for reuse?
If other noble families knew about this, do you know how many people the emperor would have offended?
Shangguan Yu felt that the emperor was too bold. Not only did he not take him seriously, he even ignored the aristocratic families that had existed for hundreds of years!
You know, half of the noble families support King Wei. Even if the emperor is foolish, he will probably lose even that half!
Shangguan Yu thought so in his heart, so after being shocked, he told the emperor so openly without any concealment, and even had a threatening look in his eyes.
Nangong Min turned around and caught his eye, and was shocked.
"Shangguan Yu, please go back to the barracks first!"
After all, Shangguan Yu was one of his childhood friends, and he didn't want him to lose his head.
Shangguan Yu was immersed in venting his anger to the emperor, and was awakened by Nangong Min's shout. His face turned pale and blue, looking even uglier.
Seeing that the emperor had no expression on his face and had no intention of making things difficult for him, he hurriedly bowed and took his leave.
Zhou Yu waved his hand, and after everyone left the barracks, he shook his head at Nangong Min.
"The Shangguan family is nothing more than this!"
"Your Majesty, most of the noble families have been bribed by the King of Wei. It is difficult for us to offend these noble families now."
"Hmph, the King of Wei? The Zhao family is in trouble, and he can barely protect himself now. When I return to the capital, I will definitely deal with him!"
"What happened to the Zhao family?"
Nangong Min didn't know what was happening in the capital thousands of miles away, so Zhou Yu had to briefly explain it to him.
"The Zhao family has been reported to the Jingzhao Yin by the victims of their captivity, capturing women for the King of Wei to breed with apes and to create ape soldiers. Most of the women captured were ordinary people, but some were daughters of minor officials. One of them was Wu Lanzhi, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Wu Shangshu, who disappeared a year ago."
"This incident has caused a huge uproar in the capital, and public resentment is rising. The evidence points directly to the King of Wei, and even his mother's family has been scrambling to calm the situation. This time, he's doomed!"
Even though Zhou Yu is not in the capital, the King of Wei can do whatever he wants. Many of his old ministers just want to keep the peace and continue to live a stable life. They will definitely not support the King of Wei's outrageous behavior.
So at this moment, Zhou Yu felt that those old stubborn people were still somewhat useful, if only they were not so cowardly.
Nangong Min was also surprised to hear the news.
"That's great! Aside from the traitor King Wei, we can now deal with our external enemies!"
"Why are your words so similar to hers?"
"who?"
"Bai Li!"
What Zhou Yu didn't say was that it was she who was responsible for the Zhao family incident.
On New Year's Eve, she rescued people at the Zhao family in Beijing during the day, and was still able to have a good New Year's Eve dinner at home at night.
I don’t know how she managed to travel thousands of miles back and forth in one day.
If his people had not seen it with their own eyes and Wu Lanzhi had not corroborated it, he would not have dared to believe it.
He also received the letter from the secret guard via carrier pigeon just before going to bed.
"Then I'll go find her!"
Nangong Min was eager to leave after hearing the good news, and Zhou Yu did not stop him.
After finishing his talk, he still needed to catch up on some sleep. It was here that he finally had a few good nights of sleep. It felt so good to sleep soundly until dawn!
Bai Li's home.
Everyone waited until the midnight drum sounded, and realized that it was the first day of the new year. After saying New Year's greetings, they dispersed and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Bai Li had just laid down when her window was opened from the outside. She quickly took out a dagger and threw it at the person, who rolled on the ground and avoided the attack.
Before she could make another move, the person spoke hurriedly.
"It's me, Namgoong Min."
Bai Li silently put away the pistol and put it into the space.
"It's you? What are you doing in the middle of the night..."
"Shh!"
"This is an urgent matter. I don't want to wake up your family, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort!"
"What's so urgent?"
Bai Li took out a lighter and lit the oil lamp in the dim moonlight outside the window.
In the dim light, Nangong Min's clothes were disheveled, with a few strands of hair falling on his cheeks, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Seeing her gaze fixed on his face, he fiddled with his hair awkwardly, his face slightly red.
Only now did he realize how inappropriate it was for him to break into a woman's boudoir at night.
"Well, the Emperor has ordered you to start recruiting soldiers, the sooner the better!"
"Simon is going to attack Da Zhou?"
"How do you know?"
"Guess."
"I thought your companion had given you a message!"
"How could I have any companions? Yu Ji and the others are the emperor's people, how could they possibly have private messages with me?"
