"Deputy Marshal, you are finally back. The general and the others have a big matter to discuss with you." As soon as Li Ji entered the Chinese army's tent, he was surrounded by the oncoming generals.

"What's the big deal?" It's really strange that these people didn't go back to the camp to take care of their military affairs.

"All the brothers have signed this memorial. I think the deputy commander-in-chief feels the same as everyone else."

Li Ji, who looked suspicious, took a look at Chai Shao's memorial and asked the court to recruit troops. Isn't this a competition with His Majesty for military power? Damn it, something big is going to happen.

"I understand what all the generals mean. But this matter is too big. Let's discuss it carefully and then present it to His Majesty."

Although my heart is already in turmoil, on the surface, I still need to stabilize these warriors who are causing trouble all day long.

"I said, Deputy Marshal, this matter can wait. In a few days, after all the troops have arrived, the soldiers will be disbanded. By then it will be too late to send a memorial. It is better to take advantage of His Majesty's presence at Qingshan Palace.

Give it to the generals when the banquet is held.

That's a perfect opportunity. When the time comes, everyone will come forward together. If anything goes wrong, everyone will be held responsible, right?"

Chai Shao's words immediately won the support of all the generals in the tent, which really put Li Ji in a difficult position. Chai Shao, the old boy, was very proud today. So many generals and commanders supported him. He was signing a contract with me.

What a revenge.

Looking at this posture, if I don't agree today, these generals will not give up.

"Well, I just drank a few too many drinks at the teacher's house and my mind is a little confused. This matter is related to the future of the brothers. I need to think about it carefully. I will take a nap first and discuss this matter with you after I sober up.

.", while speaking, he also winked at Dugu Mou next to him.

"Deputy Commander, this memorial from the generals contains dangers." Dugu Mou, who had just entered the inner tent, said after giving Li Ji a military salute.

"Humph, these people only care about their own future. They don't know that asking for military power from His Majesty is a taboo for generals. They are playing with fire." Li Ji replied with a frosty look on his face.

This afternoon when he was at the teacher's house, his little sister quite woke him up. Unfortunately, he was right in his words before it was too late.

At this moment, Li Ji hated Chai Shao and the others to death. Luo Cheng and Xie Yingdeng were better than them, so they never participated in such messy things.

The emperor will not do anything to them, he will only deal with himself. The matter of Bai Dao has not passed yet, and now there is a method to recruit soldiers. Wouldn't this cost his own life?

"Dai Guogong, the general manager of the march, is no longer in office, and Yi Guogong has also gone back to recuperate. Then I, the deputy general manager, have to take the lead. I used to be obsessed with climbing up, but now it seems that there is no benefit in becoming a big official.

, no wonder Qin Qiong hid when she came back.

Just talk about this, all the generals are roasting me on the fire. Whether or not to accept it is really embarrassing for me. If not, all the generals will hate me as the deputy general manager. If I accept it, how will I report to him in the future?

Your Majesty will explain."

I originally thought that becoming the deputy commander would make my official career more prosperous, but now it seems that is not the case at all. Could this be my retribution for betraying my teacher?

For a person with no foundation like himself, if he wants to get ahead, in addition to his outstanding military exploits, he must also have superhuman luck.

"General Yimo, I think you still need to sign this name. The names on this memorial are Chai Shao, Xue Wanche and others. They are all great heroes of the court. Even if you don't sign, they will still sign it.

In the end, the generals will hate you if you don't say it. His Majesty will also say that you, the deputy general manager, have no authority. You must know that the two people in front of you have nothing to do. And after this incident involving your son, will your Majesty let you do it in the future?

It will be impossible to command the army again."

What Dugu Mou said is right. If they didn't want to be the leader, they would never be so respectful to their deputy commander.

From birth, General Chai Shao was a relative of the emperor, and Xue Wanche was born in a general... These people had more or less a close relationship with the emperor.

Unlike Emperor Wude, whom he first took refuge with, and later followed Li Jing, he had no connections in the court or there. Although he had a good relationship with Changsun Wuji, it was so easy to get close to him like this.

If the generals failed to implement the method of recruiting troops proposed this time, they would be killed.

"This is neither advance nor retreat, so what do you think this commander should do?" Li Ji frowned and looked at this brave general who had risen to prominence in the Tonghan Army since the Northern Expedition.

"The general recommends that you write a secret report, firstly to report to His Majesty, and secondly to clear yourself. In this way, it is more appropriate to leave the matter to Your Majesty. You cannot suppress Chai Shao and the others."

This is a good way to throw this hot potato to the emperor, so that he will not offend both sides.

"But they are all waiting outside. If I send the memorial out from the main entrance at this time, wouldn't I expose my nakedness?" Li Ji, who was holding a pen, asked doubtfully.

Moreover, it was going to be dark that day. After the palace doors were locked, foreign ministers could not enter the inner palace.

"When I was the last general in the army, His Highness the Crown Prince once presented me with a sword and a calligraphy, but he never had a chance to return the gift.

At this time, I will go and thank you and no one else will say anything. Besides, my mother and my empress are good friends, so only she can bring people in at this time."

Look at this person, after all, he was born into a wealthy family, but there is no backbone in the family, but his background is still there. Such a difficult matter can be resolved with a raise of his hand.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you Ling Ci. When the matter is over, I will definitely come to thank you." Li Ji had a smile on his face, and he could no longer see the sad look just now.

"You're welcome, Deputy Commander. I will be here today because of your care."......

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian, who had just returned from Chengqing Palace, had still had a cup of tea when he received a report that Dugu Mou was here to prevent him. What was this guy doing here at such a late hour? Li Chengqian's expression changed when he thought of Zhang Baoxiang's words during the day.

"General Dugu, when did you arrive in Beijing? What do you mean by coming to the East Palace so late?" Li Chengqian pointed at the lower head and asked him to sit down.

But Dugumou shook his head resolutely, took out a memorial from his pocket, and presented it to Li Chengqian.

"This is the memorial from the British Duke." But when he saw the content inside, he couldn't sit still. The generals actually planned to make a collective presentation to the emperor at the celebration banquet, asking the imperial court to recruit troops.

"Okay, I understand what the British Lord wants. I will go to see His Majesty immediately. You can go back and tell him to stabilize the situation."...
