Emperor Xuande looked at Yang Wenshi again and asked him what he meant.
Shen Zhixiu had already clearly refused, and Yang Wenshi could only be vague.
However, Elder Chen stepped forward and said a few words, agreeing with Li Jingchuan's opinion. Elder Chen meant that it would be better for Li Yunhuai to take over temporarily, after all, the army cannot be without a commander-in-chief.
But everyone knew that there was no such thing as temporary replacement. Once the military power was handed over, it would be difficult to return.
In fact, Chen Ge Lao agreed with Shen Zhixiu's statement. The best way at this time was to wait for news from Li Yunzhou. Even if Li Yunzhou really died in battle, Li Yunhuai was not the right candidate.

The hall was filled with people talking and it was almost as noisy as a vegetable market.
Emperor Xuande frowned and was about to open his mouth to scold when a loud announcement suddenly came from outside.
"Eight hundred miles, eight hundred miles, urgent."
Everyone looked towards the door in surprise, and saw a soldier running in with a border battle report in his hand.
Although he was covered in dust and looked tired, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, General Li Yunzhou, along with his elite troops, and General Song Hongshen, have joined forces to capture the Liao capital."
"The Liao king and queen were captured. Upon hearing the news, the Tartars retreated a hundred miles."
