Chapter 2031 [Shangxie] The Emperor should lead the army in person!
Before Changsun Qingzhao could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by General Long's powerful voice.
"Nonsense! What do you mean by old? I'm in perfect health. I wouldn't lose a horse race with you young men!"
General Long opened his eyes as big as copper bells and glared at Chang Sun Qingzhao fiercely, then fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty, I believe I am not yet old enough to retire, so I would like to lead the troops to Yan Gui! I beg for your approval!"
General Long kowtowed deeply.
Changsun Qingzhao, who was interrupted, didn't even turn his head. He kept his eyelids drooped and said nothing, as if he was too lazy to even look at him.
If he doesn't speak, someone will naturally speak for him.
The first to speak was the Left Prime Minister. The Prime Minister, who had just been furious, now had a completely hesitant and heartbroken expression. He said sincerely,
"Your Majesty, although General Long is indeed experienced in leading troops, his health is ultimately not as good as that of a young man. Moreover, as I know, General Long's daughter-in-law is about to give birth. As the head of the family, how can you go to the battlefield alone and gamble on life and death when your grandson is about to be born?"
If there is a first one, there will be a second one.
Then, the ministers present all expressed similar views sincerely. General Long tried to interrupt several times, but was drowned out by countless voices of sympathy.
He stared at the adults who usually didn't care about each other, but now they all showed concern for him. He listened to his colleagues who were even his sworn enemies easily talking about his family's recent situation. He even knew that his eldest grandson was not doing well in his studies and was often scolded by the teachers at the Imperial College.
A chill suddenly seeped into General Long's vest.
However, this chill did not make him retreat, but instead aroused the rage and bloodiness of the general.
He stood up from the ground, gritted his teeth and was about to say something, but Changsun Qingzhao in front of him turned around and glanced at him indifferently.
That look didn't have much power, but it was even colder than the feeling of having someone casually point out his family difficulties just now.
He was almost frozen in an instant. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Chang Sun Qingzhao didn't pay attention to his reaction. He just glanced back casually. After noticing that the whole place had returned to silence, he continued in a leisurely and even gentle manner.
"Although General Long has been petitioned to do so, we are not such cold-blooded people after all. If we really let General Long abandon his unborn grandson at this critical moment and go to the battlefield with his gray hair, Your Majesty will inevitably be known as a heartless person, which Your Majesty cannot do."
Chang Sun Chi said "Oh?" with a smile, and asked as if he was very interested.
"Who do you think I should send as the general?"
Chang Sunqing looked at the emperor and said solemnly word by word,
"I believe that the Emperor should lead the army in person."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court fell into subtle silence, with only Changsun Qingzhao's serious voice still echoing.
However, only Changsun Chi and himself knew that at this moment, the Regent facing the Emperor did not look half as serious as his tone. On the contrary, there was a smile on his handsome and noble face.
Although the smile was very faint and seemed to contain no emotion, when it fell into Changsun Chi's eyes, they both understood the meaning very well.
