"I don't think that the emperor can't implement this strategy." Ma Shen stood up from his seat and faced him proudly. "After all, the country is in turmoil and it's wartime. The emperor is both the emperor and the marshal. At this time in the front-line military camp, any strategy can be implemented... However, the emperor should not abandon the two ministers of the East and West Palaces and directly implement this strategy just because of Han Shizhong's words! Han Shizhong is a military man and cannot bear this responsibility!"
Zhao Jiu looked at Ma Shen, then at Zhang Suo who remained silent, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Why is the emperor laughing?" In the firelight shining in the sky, Ma Shen looked serious and his beard kept shaking.
"I am happy that I have found a talent who can be entrusted with an important task today." Zhao Jiu continued to chuckle. "Just now, I said that Jinghu will definitely continue to be in chaos, and that Huang Shuao, the former governor of Xiangyang and the Hubei Transport Commissioner, is incompetent... I was thinking about who can go to Hubei to help me sort things out and hold back Fan Qiong behind Xiangyang? Now it seems that Censor Ma is not afraid of violence, and knows how to abide by the rules, which can be said to be doing his job properly! How about Ma Qing, are you willing to go to Hubei for me again and be a transport commissioner... or a governor? I don't ask to control Fan Qiong and Zhong Xiang, but I ask to temporarily stabilize the place and prevent chaos there?"
Ma Shen was stunned when he heard half of it... He was the commander of a route. As for whether it was chaotic or not, where was not chaotic right now? Li Gang had just recovered from his illness in Yangzhou, and he immediately dealt with the military chaos in Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. And no matter how chaotic it was, it was still more stable than the anti-Jin front, right?
Therefore, this arrangement is clearly a promotion to the super level!
Moreover, Hubei does need a qualified civil servant to stabilize the situation. That is the place where things get done, so it cannot be said that he was sent away intentionally!
Thinking of this, even though Ma Shen had been so tough just now, he couldn't help but bow his head to thank the emperor: "I am willing to share your worries and comfort Hubei!"
"Okay!" Zhao Jiu nodded with satisfaction.
but……
"However," Ma Shen thanked Zhao Jiu for his kindness, but felt something was wrong, so he quickly talked about the previous events again. "Before I took office and received the imperial edict, I was still the Imperial Censor in the Palace, and there is nothing wrong with that. But I think that Han Shizhong's move is inappropriate. Not only did he bypass the two eastern and western governments to privately encourage the government to implement this strategy, but he also ignored the friendly troops in Xiacai City on the other side of the river..."
"I, the Imperial Censor Zhang Jun, am willing to vouch for Han Shizhong!" Suddenly, a drunken man stepped out. "The battle was fierce and happened suddenly, so I had to take emergency measures. Moreover, I believe that we will win a great victory in this battle. How can we investigate the meritorious officials before the battle?"
Ma Shen was speechless for a moment, and Zhao Jiu looked at Zhang Jun who suddenly appeared with interest. The shouting and killing in the distance were still fierce, but the wooden shed in front of the imperial tent fell into a strange silence.
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to guarantee Han Shizhong!" After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, another person hurriedly stepped out and broke the silence. It was Lin Jingmo, a scholar from Yutang.
Emperor Zhao glanced at everyone present and suddenly laughed again… He didn’t know why, but after the crying in the evening, although he was angry for a while, after he recovered, he always felt that everyone in front of him was much more real and lovely.
