Han Xun has been kept in the capital by the emperor and is the most suitable person to guard the capital.
Although Marquis Dongchuan is a general in the southwest, his ability to lead troops in combat is slightly inferior to top generals like the Xue family's commander-in-chief.
Looking at all the generals in the army today, Tang Yuan is the one who stands out.
He is currently leading the army in the northwest, and the war is well controlled. He has come to the southwest to help fight and is familiar with the affairs of the southwest.
It seems that he is the most suitable person to use.
"Master Jiang of the Southwest Academy said that there are several generals in the southwest who have the talent to be great commanders. I believe that generals are selected from the ranks of soldiers and judged by their military achievements," Ning Wanyin answered seriously.
After one year of teaching, many ministers returned to the capital, and new people were appointed the next year. But Jiang Chengxu volunteered to stay, and the emperor promoted him to be the head of the Southwest Academy. He worked diligently and wrote a memorial every month to describe the progress of his teaching.
There were several generals in the southwest who performed outstandingly in the art of war classes, and he recorded and reported them one by one.
Ning Wanyin knew very well that if Tang Yuan took control of the troops in the southwest, Da Yan would first fall into civil strife.
The Tang family originally controlled the northwest, and now also the southwest. The entire west fell under the control of the Tang family. Such power would surely overwhelm the Xue family. The Xue family would definitely strongly oppose it, and Da Yan would start an internal conflict.
For the monarch, handing over the entire West to a general was a gamble.
Ning Wanyin didn't want to gamble. When you stand in this position, you know that you can't afford to gamble with this vast country and the people.
Since there is no commander in chief in the southwest, then we should promote one from among the talented generals instead of appointing our own people.
From the perspective of the Ning family, Tang Yuan would be the best choice. But from the perspective of the monarch, all the people in the world are your subjects and you can use them all.
Helian Qi smiled with satisfaction. He did not choose the wrong person. He picked the most suitable successor for the world.
Helian Qi's cough became more and more severe, and he finally coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty..." Ning Wanyin hurried forward to support him.
Helian Qi was well aware of his condition, and he was relying on tonics to keep himself going. He was already on his last legs. He knew this was the last time, and he looked at Ning Wanyin calmly, "I'm fine. Wanwan, let's finish this game of chess."
At the beginning of the story, he played a game of chess with her.
At the end of the story, they play chess again, the last game.
…
Three days later, in Ganxin Palace.
The emperor was seriously ill and unable to get up, so he summoned important officials, relatives and nobles to the palace to meet him.
