[Because he is from the Chishui tribe, or to be more precise, half Chishui, and his mother is from Daxia.]
This was something Jiang Yueyang had not expected, and neither had the civil and military officials expected it.
Cao Lingyue sighed silently, thinking that this day had finally come.
On Jiang Yueyang's first day in court, after witnessing the power of Xin Sheng, he sent a message back to Chishui asking for withdrawal.
But the elders of the Chishui tribe did not believe in such a ridiculous thing as Xinsheng and did not allow him to withdraw at this critical moment.
And warned him that if he dared to escape without permission, his family in Chishui would be killed!
Therefore, for the sake of his family and his own life, he did not hesitate to design a plan to fall off his horse and injure his leg, so as to take leave and stay at home to avoid danger.
But Emperor Yuan had made it clear last night that all military officers must be present at the morning court today, so he had no way to avoid it. He also did not expect that Emperor Yuan would choose him among the many military officers who had requested the order.
This probably means that the person is going to be unlucky and there is no way to avoid it.
Jiang Yueyang asked: [What's going on? How could he be a member of the Chishui tribe? ]
[In the second year after the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was a severe drought and the people were living in poverty. There were refugees everywhere in the Great Xia. Cao Lingyue, who was only 10 years old, disguised himself as a refugee and mixed in with the people of Great Xia. From then on, he had the identity of a citizen of Great Xia.]
[Oh my god! They planned to attack Daxia more than thirty years ago?] Jiang Yueyang secretly glanced at Cao Lingyue, [Do you think he and Concubine Lan are in the same group?]
System: [Yes and no. Imperial Concubine Lan is the chess piece in the open, and he is the chess piece hidden in the dark. He knows Imperial Concubine Lan's existence, but Imperial Concubine Lan doesn't know his existence.]
[So he is asking to lead the troops to fight now because he wants to stir up trouble? ]
The system nodded and said, "Cao Lingyue is very smart. Over the years, he has used his identity as the general of Daxia to openly help the Chishui people eliminate several tribes that were competing with the Chishui for territory.
Back then, the Chishui tribe was just a tribe of a thousand people, but now it has grown to a tribe that can challenge Daxia. This shows that Cao Lingyue played a major role in this.
If your Majesty sends him to lead the army, he will probably suffer defeat after defeat, and then the whole army will be annihilated. 】
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Upon hearing this, the prince stepped out and bowed, saying, "Father, the journey to the Red Water Tribe is long, and General Cao's leg has not yet fully recovered. Why don't we choose another candidate?"
"I second the motion."
"I second the motion."
Emperor Yuan went down the ladder handed to him by the crown prince and asked, "Who do you think should be sent?"
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Emperor Yuan called Jiang Yueyang's name.
Jiang Yueyang had no choice but to step out and say, "I think Lord Xie, the Jingzhao Yin, is very good."
Everyone in Daxia knew that Jingzhao Yin Xie Xu was only loyal to Emperor Yuan.
For the future of Emperor Yuan and Daxia, he can kill Prince Rong and anyone who wants to rebel!
Therefore, it is never wrong to recommend him.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan disagreed.
He said: "Sending Xie Xu to the Chishui tribe is too much of a compliment to them."
Jiang Yueyang: "..."
Jiang Yueyang rolled his eyes, [Tsk! Your Majesty is too conceited. Isn't it enough to win the battle at the lowest cost? Who cares if he thinks highly of you or not?]
Even though Jiang Yueyang scolded him in his heart, Emperor Yuan still did not agree to send Xie Xu to lead the troops.
System: [Men all love to save face.]
[Can face be eaten or spent? If we send someone else to fight and they lose, we will be embarrassed.] Jiang Yueyang said angrily.
Civil and military officials & Emperor Yuan: "..."
Emperor Yuan ignored Jiang Yueyang's mumbling and set his eyes on General Zhang Zhiyuan, the son of General Zhenguo.
"Zhang Zhiyuan, you will lead the troops to Chishui this time."
"I obey your orders!"
At this moment, the system sighed heavily, and everyone couldn't help but tense up.
No way? No way? General Zhenguo and his son are also problematic?
General Zhenguo turned around and glared at his eldest son, "What bad thing have you done, little rascal?"
Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head secretly, I didn’t do anything bad!
Jiang Yueyang asked: [Why are you sighing? Is there something wrong with General Zhang too? ]
[He is fine, he is a very good guy. Unfortunately, he will most likely die in battle this time.
He just got married and doesn’t even have a child yet. General Zhenguo and his wife had seven daughters before they gave birth to one son. The Zhang family is afraid that they will have no descendants. 】
General Zhenguo was no longer calm. What did he mean by his son dying on the battlefield?
"Your Majesty, my son is not very steady. Should I let this old minister lead the troops this time?"
Emperor Yuan raised his hand to signal him not to worry.
Jiang Yueyang: [Why? The battle hasn't even started yet, how do you know he will die on the battlefield? I think General Zhang looks pretty strong and powerful, and he looks very capable.]
[Strength is not enough to prevent weapons from having problems. At first, the officials of the Foundry Department secretly sold the black iron used to make weapons, and bought back a batch of inferior iron materials to mix with the black iron, so the weapons they made were not too bad!
But now they are going too far, not mixing black iron at all. Moreover, they are mixing weapons made of black iron with inferior weapons. Whoever gets a bad weapon will be doomed. 】
Emperor Yuan immediately clenched his fists, veins bulging on his hands. How dare they do that?
If you don't have the best weapons in a war, how can you win? You might as well just go and die!
Their intention is to destroy Great Xia!
General Zhenguo and his son were even more angry, because all the soldiers under their command were heroes!
Even if I have to die in battle, I must not die from the weapon I made!
Jiang Yueyang: [Doesn't the imperial court check weapons when inspecting goods? ]
【Sampling.】
[I will go and chat with General Zhenguo later.]
After knowing the problem, Emperor Yuan and General Zhenguo and his son felt much more relieved.
As long as you check the weapons and prepare enough food and fodder before going out, you will have no problem defeating the Chishui Tribe.
Emperor Yuan said, "Zhang Tiesheng, let your son lead the troops this time. How can a father go to war for his son?"
"promise."
Zhang Tiesheng had mixed feelings, but he still agreed with Emperor Yuan.
His son is a general. Now that he is on the battlefield, he cannot be afraid of death!
After discussing the issue of sending troops to Chishui, Emperor Yuan moved on to the next topic.
Emperor Yuan glanced around and found that the Hall of Supreme Harmony had become visibly more spacious.
"Recently, many positions in the six ministries have been vacant. I would like to advance the date of this year's imperial examination. What do you think?"
During this period, Emperor Yuan had executed many people and dismissed and exiled incompetent officials. Many positions in the six ministries were vacant and needed to be filled as soon as possible, otherwise the people who remained in their posts would be exhausted to death.
"Your Majesty is wise." All the ministers said in unison.
Emperor Yuan nodded with satisfaction. "In this case, in order to prevent cheating in the imperial examination from happening again, Jiang Yueyang will be in charge of supervising the examination this time."
Jiang Yueyang: “Huh?”
