As soon as the words were spoken, Zhao Jiu looked around the hall and saw that everyone, including several husbands, were interested... After all, who doesn't have relatives, old friends, nephews, and good friends from the same subject who have been following him all the way?
As for the only red-robed official who had not shown any joy before, that was Zhang Jun, the Trial Chief Censor. When he heard this, he wanted to speak for a moment, but did not dare to.
Seeing that no one objected, several people took the initiative to jump out to express their agreement, and the matter was passed without any problems.
According to the discussion between Emperor Zhao and several ministers, this matter will be under the overall charge of Minister Lu, who will quickly assign people according to their official rank. Whoever pacifies and stabilizes a city will be the corresponding county magistrate; whoever pacifies a certain number of soldiers will also receive corresponding merits; and whoever can pacify Xiangcheng, Wuyang, Yancheng, and Fangcheng, the four large cities on the northeast passage of Nanyang, will be given the power to command a military prefecture!
Therefore, the meeting was hastily dispersed in the morning, and almost everyone in the imperial court and even in Ruyang City was celebrating, but they did not know that a certain official simply did not care about their lives and was just using them to seize the city.
However, at this time, Emperor Zhao's most trusted civil official, Zhang Jun, who was serving a sentence as the Chief Censor, returned and took the initiative to see the Emperor... Considering the increasing number of people in the imperial court, this was a very bold move, and was doomed to be criticized.
However, Zhao Jiu had no reason to refuse.
"I risk my life to ask the emperor to take back his order and stop asking to annihilate the enemy in Nanyang!" Zhang Junfu saw the emperor in the back hall. Although he did not kneel down like the other military officials, his posture and words were very similar. "Nanyang is a flat land with Jin cavalry everywhere. Our army may not be able to win quickly. If we cannot win quickly, Xijing is still in the hands of the enemy. I am afraid that a large number of Jin reinforcements will attack. When the Jin cavalry attacks from the north and south, our army may be defeated... Your Majesty, I made a big mistake yesterday. Please punish me!"
Unexpectedly, the official Zhao, who had held a solo celebrity life meeting for himself last night, sat still in the back hall, silent for a long time, and then suddenly spoke: "Deyuan, did you bribe Feng Yi, or did Han Shizhong remember to inform you when he left last night?"
Zhang Jun looked up in shock, panicking for a moment, while Feng Yi next to him was so frightened that he knelt down.
PS: I’m having a bit of a writer’s block, mainly because I recently read the section on Western Jing in the History of the Song Dynasty, and it was so confusing... I’m very sorry, I will only write 4,000 words today.
