"The bandit suppression army needs at least one general. After all, there are several thousand people. Who should be entrusted with this important task now..."

Just as the emperor was thinking about this matter, Qian Ruoyu decided to take the initiative to volunteer.

Qian Ruoyu said immediately.

"Your Majesty, I am not talented, but I am willing to apply to become the general of this bandit-suppression army!"

After suddenly hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, the emperor was completely shocked. He had never thought that Qian Ruoyu would be so courageous as to want to serve as the general of this bandit-suppression army. He was stunned for a moment.

After all, for him, a woman serving as a general was naturally a new thing. Although there had been women serving as generals in the dynasty, at least he had never appointed one since he became emperor.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu’s words shocked him a little.

Just as he was shocked, Liu Dehai on the side also spoke.

"Your Majesty, this candidate is indeed a problem. Otherwise, I will take my leave first. I really don't want to get involved!"

But after hearing this, the emperor stopped him.

"Manager Liu, you don't have to leave!"

"Since you are my chief steward, you are naturally qualified to listen to these words. Moreover, you can stay by my side as a reference!"

"These past few years have been so difficult. I have been surrounded by corrupt officials. With you by my side, you can at least give me some advice. Otherwise, I would really be kept in the dark by those people all day long. It really makes me feel extremely troubled!"

Only then did Liu Dehai stay with the emperor.

But Qian Ruoyu and Liu Dehai were both wicked, and they knew clearly in their hearts that the emperor had completely trusted Liu Dehai, and Liu Dehai's move of retreating to advance was really brilliant!

After all, if he did this, the emperor would have no choice but to completely trust him, and his loyalty would be fully demonstrated in front of the emperor.

The emperor asked at this time.

"What do you think of what the princess said? Since I ascended the throne, I have never appointed or dismissed a female general, but I have appointed or dismissed three female officials."

Liu Dehai pretended to think about it for a moment.

"Your Majesty, although I have no talent or knowledge, I heard what the princess just said. It was all thought up by the princess alone, and the princess's opinion seems to be quite good. It is much better than handing this matter over to those adults in the Ministry of War..."

"The people in the Ministry of War are really cunning... This time, they not only deceived Your Majesty, but also suffered a crushing defeat. This has really brought Your Majesty a great loss of face... If the bandit-suppression army can become famous in the future, then Your Majesty's wise and wise reputation will spread far and wide..."

Liu Dehai's words completely hit the emperor's mind.

Although he did not directly name Qian Ruoyu as the female general, his words gave the emperor a very clear idea in his mind.

Finally the emperor spoke.

"Well...Princess Ye, I will think carefully about what you said. How about you first appease the current bandit suppression army on my behalf and handle the aftermath of the bandit suppression army?"

"If it's possible, I'll go back and think about it for two days, then make a decision."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu naturally nodded without hesitation.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter well and will never let Your Majesty's wisdom be damaged. I will take care of these things!"

It was only after this that the emperor brought everyone back to the palace.

Qian Ruoyu also became more certain in his heart. It seemed that the emperor had no other candidate in his mind. After all, such a thing had happened in the Ministry of War, one of the six ministries, which caused the emperor to have a crisis of trust.

But Qian Ruoyu knew in her heart that if she wanted to succeed, she would need the help of one more person, and that was the Queen.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu ordered the handling of the aftermath of the bandit-suppression army, and at the same time asked Liu Dehai to reveal the matter to the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to help him.

As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, the queen came to him as expected.

After the queen entered the Southern Study, she said to the emperor with a look of surprise.

"Your Majesty, I heard you left the palace!"

The emperor nodded slightly.

Although the queen was not chosen by him personally, the two have been together for more than 20 years, so their relationship is pretty good.

Especially since the queen had been in charge of the harem for more than ten years, almost nothing had happened, which allowed him to manage the government affairs with peace of mind, and there was no sign of fire in the harem.

This made the relationship between them even closer.

"I did leave the palace to deal with some matters outside the palace. What's wrong? Is there anything the Queen needs?"

The queen just shook her head, then came to the emperor and spoke to him.

"You look so worried. I'm afraid something bad has happened again... Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people. You are truly a good role model among emperors."

But after hearing these words, the emperor felt even more worried, and he spoke directly at this time.

"Queen, you don't know that those people in the Ministry of War actually deceived me!"

"The people in the Ministry of War deceived me so badly, but I have no way to control them now. They have controlled the Ministry of War for more than ten years. They were already in the Ministry of War before I boarded the plane."

"Not only did these people conceal and falsely report the truth, they even suffered a great defeat. I am really speechless!"

"By the way, didn't you tell me about Princess Ye before? I met her today. She is indeed a brave woman. She also gave me a series of suggestions, asking her to increase the number of bandit-suppression troops and improve their quality... But in the end, Princess Ye actually said that she wanted to serve as the female general of this bandit-suppression army... This is also something I have been thinking about..."

After hearing this, the queen nodded slightly and said to him gently, "Okay."

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't tell me this. The harem is not allowed to participate in politics. But Princess Ye is a good person. If she wants to be a female general, is there any problem?"

After hearing what the queen said, the emperor was also thinking about this matter in his heart. After all, for him, this seemed to be a very big thing, but he also said to the queen at the same time.

"It is true that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, but you are my first wife, and there are some things that I should tell you..."

"Do you also think that it is completely okay to let Qian Ruoyu serve as the female general of the bandit suppression army? She...she is Chu Mobai's wife...you should know..."
