"Xu Guangqi is in charge of the Hundred Craftsmen's Academy and the Ministry of Revenue, and you are in charge of the Ministry of War. You must make great contributions in the battle against Liaodong. You didn't dare to take action before because everyone was afraid of losing."
"But this time, Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong was victorious. Combined with the strength of the new army in the imperial court, who knows if this battle is a sure win, then there's at least a 70% to 80% chance of success. This is making many people uneasy."
"The Liaodong campaign is of grave importance, and the imperial court will undoubtedly send someone to lead the army. Xu Guangqi is unlikely to do so, so the most suitable candidate is you. You hold the title of Grand Secretary and Minister of War, and you are very close to His Majesty. Therefore, you are the undisputed first choice. Once Liaodong is won, your status will undoubtedly rise."
"Han Yu appears to be a moderate and peaceful person, but he is very cautious. He is trying to sow discord. Your Majesty wants to reform the nobility, and no one can touch it. If you do, there will be no good consequences. You are doing a good thing."
Sun Chengzong sighed and said helplessly, "But the expansion of the General Staff Office is not a good thing after all."
"It's not that easy for the General Staff Office to expand," Zhou Jiamo said with a smile. "With the few people in the General Staff Office now, there's no chance.

No one can predict what will happen in the future."

After hearing this, Zhou Jiamo was stunned and turned to look at Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong was also a little confused. Why did the imperial edict come?
But after thinking about it, he stood up and said, "In that case, I should go back."
Zhou Jiamo also stood up and said with a smile, "I'll take care of the child."
After leaving the Ministry of Personnel, Sun Chengzong returned to the cabinet. As soon as he entered, he saw Chen Hong waiting for him with a smile.
Several other cabinet ministers were also present, obviously waiting for Sun Chengzong to return.
After seeing Sun Chengzong, Chen Hong smiled and bowed, saying, "I would like to congratulate Elder Sun first."
