The news reached Qian Ruoyu, who accepted the appointment with dignity.
After all, this was the honor she had wanted in the first place, so now she had successfully obtained it.
At this time, Qian Ruoyu was also at the city gate. He did not return to the palace immediately, but instead asked Liu Dehai.
"By the way, Chief Steward Liu, where should I place these hundreds of people? And will His Majesty agree to let me expand to 5,000 people?"
Hearing Qian Ruoyu's question, Liu Dehai just thought about it for a moment and spoke immediately.
"Don't worry, His Majesty is also considering this matter. It seems that His Majesty is in the Ministry of War at this moment..."
After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu immediately said alertly.
"In that case, let's go to the Ministry of War first!"
While saying this, Qian Ruoyu spoke to the golden lotus beside her.
"For the time being, let everyone stay at the city gate. Let them stay here with good food and drink. Tell them not to worry. I will go and fight for their welfare now!"
As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, she immediately took Liu Dehai away and went to the Ministry of War.
And at the gate of the Ministry of War, there were indeed hundreds of people standing there, and even the emperor's flag was planted at the gate.
The emperor's flag means that the emperor is indeed in this place.
At this time, the guards who saw Qian Ruoyu and Liu Dehai coming to the door at the same time did not stop Qian Ruoyu, but let the two of them go in together.
Just before entering the hall, Qian Ruoyu had already heard the voices inside.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this! This would violate the ancestral system!"
"Your Majesty, the number of bandit-suppression troops can only be expanded to 2,000 at most. What does she want to do with these 5,000 people? Especially Princess Ye... Isn't Your Majesty worried..."
"If we spread the news that 5,000 people were involved in the suppression of bandits, it would be a laughing stock! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Before Qian Ruoyu entered, she had already heard too many voices of opposition, among which Liu Sandao spoke directly.
"Your Majesty, I think that we only need two thousand men at most to completely wipe out all the bandits on Jiulong Mountain. Moreover, it is just a temporary army. There is no need to expand it, and there is no need to cause trouble on other mountains!"
"The world has been peaceful for a long time, how can there be so many bandits? Moreover, under your majesty's wise and wise governance, it is even more impossible for anyone to go up the mountain and become a bandit. Please withdraw your order, your majesty!"
After hearing this, the emperor was also puzzled. He never expected that these people in the Ministry of War would be so opposed to him at this time.
After hearing this, the emperor was puzzled. He never expected that these people in the Ministry of War would be so opposed to him at this time.
Although he was the emperor, he did not have the power to make all the ministers of the six ministries obey his orders. That was why he came to listen to their opinions at this time and wanted to see what these people from the Ministry of War had to say.
But after hearing what these people said, the emperor was a little indecisive for a moment. He had never expected that these people would oppose his orders so strongly, and even wanted him to withdraw the bandit suppression army.
After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu didn't say much, but turned around and said a few words to Liu Dehai.
After hearing these words, Liu Dehai opened his eyes wide instantly and looked at Qian Ruoyu in disbelief, his eyes obviously full of disbelief.
"Princess, are you sure you want to break in now? If you really want to break in, there are only two consequences. One is that His Majesty will hear your suggestion, and the other is that you will be committing treason!"
After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu nodded without hesitation.
"I can't let them continue to talk nonsense like this. If they continue to talk nonsense like this, it will be troublesome. I'm afraid the bandit suppression army will not have to suppress the bandits anymore, and will just be here to drink and have fun with them!"
After saying this, Qian Ruoyu pushed aside the two guards beside him and rushed into the hall.
"It is because of people like you that the court feels so dark right now. You haven't even solved the plague issue, and now you're arguing over even this kind of thing!"
Qian Ruoyu's voice suddenly drowned out everyone else's voices, and several ministers from the Ministry of War did not expect Qian Ruoyu to barge in at this time.
The emperor was also puzzled when he saw Qian Ruoyu.
Later, when the emperor saw Liu Dehai, he understood what had happened. He knew that it was probably Liu Dehai who told Qian Ruoyu, so he did not say anything more at this time.
As soon as Liu Sandao saw Qian Ruoyu, he immediately said angrily.
"Princess Night!"
"Do you know what you are doing now? You just barged into His Majesty's palace without asking for permission. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"Your Majesty, I request that Princess Ye be immediately driven out and executed at the Meridian Gate!"
When Qian Ruoyu heard this, she was completely stunned, because she never expected Liu Sandao to say such a thing. Isn't this just getting rid of her directly?
The emperor did not speak. Qian Ruoyu felt that this was his best chance, so he spoke to them immediately.
"Master Liu, you didn't expect that I could make you so anxious with just a few words. If I continue to say the following words, won't I really die?"
"Are you going to let me get rid of all the people in your Ministry of War in front of His Majesty? After all, I just won a battle, and you like this. If I win another battle, won't the people in your office go crazy?"
After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Liu Sandao found it hard to accept it for a moment. He looked at Qian Ruoyu angrily, but did not dare to say anything more at this time.
Qian Ruoyu bowed his head and spoke to the emperor only at this time.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Although I just happened to hear a few words outside, I had to rush in to stop their gossip, lest they affect His Majesty's mind!"
After hearing this, the emperor just nodded slightly and was not angry.
Seeing the emperor's expression, Qian Ruoyu was even more certain that her behavior just now did not offend the emperor. On the contrary, the emperor was probably eager for her to say a few more words.
Therefore Qian Ruoyu said calmly.
"Your Majesty is wise, please allow me to say a few more words. It is completely useless to discuss this matter with these people in the Ministry of War. After all, the defeat of the Ministry of War has left them with psychological trauma!"
