"Your Majesty! Since neither the Grand General nor the General of the Cavalry can be your choice, who else can you choose to lead the expedition to quell the rebellion?"
Liang Jing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw Lu Yun dozing off beside him!
He is a very good candidate.
Didn’t he tell me yesterday that leading troops to fight is easy!
He also talked about the Western Factory and what to do if the Western Factory really wanted to be established.
There must be a condition, that is, Lu Yun must be able to obtain the approval of the ministers.
You also need to have certain achievements, otherwise others will never be convinced.
What's more, Liang Jing also has a problem now.
It seems that he, as the emperor, has not been recognized by the court ministers. If he can take this opportunity to resolve the rebellion in the four southeastern provinces.
Then, we can get the approval of these ministers. Isn’t this killing three birds with one stone?
"good!"
"I actually already have a candidate."
"To lead troops to war, you need someone who can command them."
"I think Lu Yun is quite suitable to be the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department."
"Also, General Shangguan's son, Shangguan Yan, has been well-versed in military manuals since childhood. He could also use this opportunity to gain some experience and give the newcomers a chance to grow. Ultimately, the torch still needs to be passed down."
"What do you all think?"
As soon as the words fell, all the ministers in the court were shocked.
They never expected that His Majesty would make such a foolish decision.
They actually wanted Lu Yun, the eunuch who came out of nowhere and was the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department, to be in charge of the army.
Is your majesty crazy?
Although they admitted that this eunuch did have some talent and was able to find out the real culprit in the incident between the general and Xiao He in just one day.
It could also allow the general to reconcile with General Xiao He, allowing the two to shake hands and make peace...
But...letting a eunuch lead troops to fight, isn't that stupid?
Yang Zhong was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Your Majesty, how can you let a eunuch lead the troops to war? Isn't this ridiculous?
Look at this eunuch, he's dozing off beside Your Majesty during court, looking drowsy."
"We are so noisy down there, but he can sleep so soundly. What is this eunuch doing?"
Yang Zhong pointed at Lu Yun's nose and cursed at him.
Liang Jing glanced at him and found that Lu Yun was indeed quite amazing. He could even fall asleep while standing.
I don't know where he learned this skill! Maybe he's just lazy and used to sleeping standing up.
"Eunuch Lu!"
At the side, the eunuch Liu Gonggong shouted loudly, which woke Lu Yun up from his sleep.
He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and looked at the ministers with some embarrassment.
"Ah, what's going on?"
"I just vaguely heard someone calling my name in my dream. Well, you guys go on with your conversation. I don't know anything."
Liang Jing said coldly at this time: "Eunuch Lu, I know you were exhausted from accompanying me last night, but how could you fall asleep in front of so many people in the court?"
"He's sleeping standing up!"
"Eunuch Lu, I just told you to lead your troops to the four southeastern provinces and eliminate Marquis Wenxin."
"What do you think?"
At this moment, Lu Yun's eyes widened in disbelief.
He suddenly said nervously, "Ah? Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Are you asking me, a eunuch, to lead the troops into battle?"
At this time, the Right Prime Minister Wang An also stepped forward and snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, this old minister also thinks this matter is inappropriate."
"It's fine to let this Eunuch Lu supervise the army, but it's absolutely not okay to let him lead the troops."
"Does he have this kind of talent?"
"this……"
Liang Jing was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Yun as if asking for help.
Lu Yun sighed, feeling helpless.
Why was the emperor digging a hole for himself again? Although he was very reluctant, since the emperor asked, he was willing to help...
There is no other way, so I might as well agree.
"Prime Minister Wang, this is wrong."
"It's just leading troops to fight, what's the big deal?"
"Give me three days, and I can train ordinary soldiers into very strong soldiers..."
"How about we have a competition in the camp? If I win, I will lead the troops this time."
"If I lose, we'll talk about it later."
Wang An was stunned and curious. What on earth was going on with Lu Yun?
It’s just three days, no big deal!
I just don’t know what he can train in these three days.
"Okay!" Wang An nodded. Since my father-in-law is determined, we might as well give it a try.
"This time we're competing in the military camp, and there are many events to be competed in. I hope you can do it."
"Whether it's military strategy or archery competitions, they must be carried out."
Lu Yun chuckled and said, "You old man, you look down on others. Then I, the eunuch, will let you know that I am also capable. As a time traveler, I can lead troops to fight. What's wrong with giving it a try?"
At this time, General Xiao He stood up. He was not angry, but spoke lightly.
"Your Majesty, I actually don't have any opinion on your decision. Eunuch Lu is indeed a talented person. He may really be able to do it."
"Since Eunuch Lu proposed this competition, I naturally have no objection."
The general also said at this time, "Your Majesty, I also thought that Eunuch Lu could take on this important task, but this matter is quite complicated."
"Since you've asked for a duel, let's give it a try."
Shangguan Yun thought, what a joke?
Why couldn't I agree? His Majesty brought his own son Shangguan Yan with him this time.
He just needed an opportunity to gain experience. If he could gain military merit this time, it would also allow his son to establish prestige in the army.
Then, I can take over his position as the general in the future. What's not to like?
However, war is no joke and is definitely not that simple.
"good!"
Liang Jing stood up and slapped his thigh, "Then let's have a competition in three days."
"When leading troops in battle, strategy is the most important thing, so I think a showdown on the sand table with swords and spears is the most appropriate."
"I will obey the imperial decree!"
“…”
After today's court meeting ended, all the ministers turned around and left.
When there were only two people left in the hall, Lu Yun asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, how could you let me lead the troops into battle while I was sleeping?"
"Aren't you roasting me on the fire?"
Liang Jing snorted lightly, holding his head high and chest out, "Didn't you agree? Didn't you say yesterday that anyone can lead the troops into battle? Then I'll let you try."
"Besides, if you're given an opportunity, you should take it. If you can accomplish something great and establish the Western Factory, wouldn't that be more than enough?"
"I am thinking about you and myself."
