Several gentlemen nodded, and Emperor Zhao also nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment.
Seeing the three ministers speak out and then easily decide these important frontline issues with the emperor, Li Guang, who was attending such an occasion for the first time, got rid of the embarrassment, but also realized that this was the so-called "monarch and ministers discussing politics", and it was also what a civil servant pursued and expected all his life.
Therefore, the Chief Censor thought about it and felt that no matter what, as the head of the Censorate, who was known as half-prime minister, he could not remain silent like the eunuchs such as Lin Jingmo and Liu Yan, and he had to make some suggestions no matter what.
At this point, Li Zhongcheng showed some seriousness and responded, "Your Majesty, although Yue Fei has a military report saying that he is preparing to encircle us, the Pseudo-Qi has a large number of troops in Dongping Prefecture. Moreover, the traitor Liu Yu and the Pseudo-Governor Li Cheng, the Pseudo-Prime Minister Hong Ya, and the Pseudo-Marshal Kong Yanzhou are all capable people. We should not underestimate them... Even the Pseudo-Crown Prince Liu Lin is said to be quite a hero. Why not issue another gold medal to let Yue Fei be careful and not be careless, so as to avoid military mistakes?"
Zhao Jiu was stunned, and was speechless for a moment facing Li Guang who was full of expectation. But at this moment, a clear cough from Prime Minister Lu next to him made Emperor Zhao realize that this was the first time that the newly appointed Chief Censor had made suggestions on military and national affairs, and even if it was nonsense, it should be taken seriously.
Therefore, Zhao Jiu immediately became serious and answered earnestly: "Zhongcheng said it well. I also heard that Liu Lin and others are all heroes and should not be underestimated. I will let Liu Yan send the Royal Red Heart Cavalry to deliver several gold medals in batches, so that Yue Fei on the front line will know the importance and make sure that nothing is lost!"
Li Guang was relieved immediately.
In the setting sun, the emperor and his ministers in the pavilion were all happy after eating the melons.
The rain was getting heavier, the setting sun was still there, in the northeast of Pingyin City, Dongping Prefecture, near the central military tent of Liu Lin's camp, Zhang Rong, the pacification envoy of Dongping Prefecture and the chief of Liangshanpo, had his arms open, revealing his dark chest, but he was looking at a cart of crisp melons in front of him with a frown on his face, while several men dressed in short clothes were kneeling on the ground beside him, waiting for him, regardless of the dirt.
"You said you were a local melon seller in Jinan, but two carts of melons were robbed by some pseudo-Qi soldiers right after they were picked, and they were brought here to feed the chief officers? And they only ate one cart of melons, and then we came here?" After a long pause, Zhang Rong finally asked.
"That's exactly what happened!" The leader looked up quickly and spoke with an unmistakable Jingdong accent. "Big leader, we are not soldiers, we are just ordinary melon sellers in Jinan... Big leader, please be sure to let me go. I don't want this cart of melons anymore. I just ask that you allow us relatives to return to our farm in Jinan."
Zhang Rong listened to the explanation without any flaws, and nodded repeatedly, ready to agree. But at this moment, under the dim light, he suddenly noticed that behind the speaker, there was a young man crawling in the mud. Because he had been crawling for a long time, he was washed by the rain, revealing a strong but overly white arm.
It is also thought-provoking.
Therefore, after looking at this man for a while, Zhang Da, the leader, suddenly raised his knife, causing the people on the ground to panic for a moment. While they clenched their fists, they only knocked the melons on the cart in front of them with the back of the knife, and then faced each other seriously:
"You are innocent fellow villagers. How can you lose the melons you worked so hard to grow? I will buy them with money!"
Everyone below was relieved, and the leader kowtowed profusely, praising the leader for his loyalty and kindness.
Zhang Rong tapped the melon again with the back of his knife, but he was hesitant again:
"But I have always lived on the water. I only know how to fish, not how to grow melons. We fishmongers keep them fresh, but can your melons keep them sweet?"
The people below were stunned for a moment.
PS: I paid off my debt to the last chapter, this chapter is tonight, good night everyone, be sure to take care of your body, use less air conditioning and more exercise! Eat more melons!
