"Since the founding of this dynasty, except Taizu and Taizong, there are few people in charge of the imperial army. How did you think of this?" Wei Shiliang immediately sat upright when he heard this, stared at Wei Zhen's eyes, and said word by word, "Is this matter you thought about it or did others encourage you to make suggestions to our family?"

Judging from his appearance, if Wei Zhen showed a little intention, the father and son's relationship would be cut off today. What a big deal it would be to be the emperor's personal expedition? It would be fine if he won. If he lost, Wei Shiliang would die without a place to bury him.

"Godfather, I just heard about this. How could someone else instigate me?" Wei Zhen looked at Wei Shiliang with a sincere look, but his back was covered in cold sweat. He quickly knelt on the ground and said in a crying voice, "My son just wants to share his godfather a little worry. Why is his godfather so angry?"

Seeing that Wei Zhen's expression did not show any flaws, Wei Shiliang felt that he seemed a little suspicious. Yes, he had just learned from the memorial that Tang Kuo's troops had committed the border. Wei Zhen was in this courtyard all day long, and could he get the news in advance? As soon as he thought of this, he felt that his expression just now was a bit stern.

So he said warmly, "Get up, it's really important for the imperial guards to personally fight, so his godfather was a little excited. Let's talk, why did you think of this?"

"Godfather, my son has no place to go in the palace on weekdays, so he likes to read some novels." Wei Zhen pointed to the opening book on the table next to him and said, "Today, I happened to see the storybook that the emperor personally fought for the emperor and returned loudly, so I had such a presumptuous idea. In my son's opinion, if His Majesty returned from the imperial army and brought the remaining power of the great victory, and then talked about the matter of titleing King Zhao as the imperial examination in the court, the ministers of the court would definitely not dare to refute it again."

Wei Shiliang stood up and walked to the desk two steps, and saw that it was indeed a one-step novel that told the story of the previous dynasty. The protagonist of this novel made great contributions in the imperial commander's personal expedition. He was just a small minority who was named a general and married a princess to reach the peak of his life. Wei Zhen thought of this from the book without any flaws.

And this seems to be a solution. His Majesty's ascension to the throne was short, and the government affairs were all in the hands of Yang Jiefu and others when the Emperor was in power. His control over the court was not as good as the emperors when the founding of the country. Isn't the reason why Taizu and Taizong expressed their constituents because they were invincible in the battle?

Seeing Wei Shiliang being quite moved, Wei Zhen continued, "Now the British Duke regained military power, the imperial guards in the Beijing camp are no longer the same as they did last year. If they go to war, they will definitely win. If their godfather leads the initiative, the first thing they win will do is his godfather. At that time, see if Yang Jiefu and the others dare to give their godfather a face?"

Yes, the Tang Kuo army had less than 100,000 troops invaded the border, and the imperial guards in the Beijing camp had 400,000. The imperial guards in person had to take at least 300,000 away. The 300,000 army defeated 100,000 barbarians. This should be easy to win, right? Wei Shiliang, who was not familiar with military tactics, made a judgment on his experience of fighting on the streets before entering the palace, and he consciously had great hope of winning.

"If your godfather is worried, you might as well discuss with the British Duke first before making a decision. The British Duke is a long-term general and will be able to solve his doubts for his godfather." Wei Zhen advised for the last time.

"You godfather knows this, don't mention it to anyone if you go down." After that, Wei Shiliang drove Wei Zhen away, and thought about physics for a long time before going to bed to rest. In his dream, he dreamed that after the emperor returned from the victory in the battle, His Majesty drove Yang Jiefu and others out of the court. The successor civil servants were sleeping in the scene that they praised him very much, and Wei Shiliang couldn't help but burst his mouth and laughed.

After the court was in court the next day, the British Duke was about to report to Li Gui alone about the offense of Tang Kuo's troops against the border. Wei Shiliang asked quietly, and only made up his mind after learning that Wei Zhen was nothing unusual today.

"Meet the Duke of England." Wei Shiliang stopped Qiu Yuande on the way to the palace.

"I have met Eunuch Wei, what is the urgent matter for Your Majesty?" Qiu Yuande asked.

"It's not true, it's because our family has something to ask about the British Duke." Wei Shiliang retreated and asked in a low voice, "Duke of Britain, if the emperor personally fights in this battle, how likely will he win?"

"The imperial commander personally?" Qiu Yuande was stunned. After receiving the news that Tang Kuo's troops invaded the border, his aides also proposed the strategy of the imperial commander personally. However, their idea was to take this opportunity to make His Majesty more close to the nobles led by him, so as to see their bravery and good at fighting with their own eyes. At the beginning of the founding of the country, wasn't the reason why the nobles and generals had a great reputation in the court because they personally led the emperor with Taizu and Taizong?

Later emperors of all dynasties rarely had the imperial command in person, which led to the contributions of the nobles and military generals being repeatedly encroached by civil servants, and their status in the court has declined repeatedly. Now we can take this opportunity to reappear the scene of the nobles and generals leading the army to defeat the enemy under the emperor's attention, thereby changing the situation of the nobles and military in the court.

In the past two days, Qiu Yuande and his staff also carefully studied it. They agreed that if the 300,000 imperial guards in the Jing camp were personally led by the imperial guards, then this battle would definitely be a great victory.

Your Majesty can use the great victory to establish his prestige in the court and the people of the world, and their nobles can take the opportunity to overwhelm Yang Jiefu and others and return to the glory of the founding country. At this point, Qiu Yuande and Wei Shiliang have common interests, so he did not hide it from Wei Shiliang and truthfully explained the reason why Wei will definitely win from all aspects.

After the exchange was over, the two of them made up their minds at the same time, and they must take this opportunity to persuade His Majesty to lead the army in person.

When he entered the hall, Li Gui asked anxiously how Qiu Yuande should deal with the incident of Tang Kuo's offense. Qiu Yuande explained to Li Gui in many aspects such as the number of soldiers, armor, swords and guns, and the generals of the army. Finally, he concluded, "Your Majesty, if you send 300,000 imperial guards in the Beijing camp, you will definitely defeat Tang Kuo's troops in one battle and expel them from the border."

Only then did Li Gui feel relieved. After Qiu Yuande retreated, Li Gui suddenly realized that something seemed wrong with Wei Shiliang today, so he asked, "What's wrong with Shiliang today?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Wei Shiliang fell to the ground with a crack and said carefully, "I just remembered something, I don't know whether to speak or not."

"If you want to say it, what should you say or not?" Li Gui, who had just left a worry, was in a good mood at this time.

"Your Majesty, since the British Duke just said that this battle would be a great victory, why don't Your Majesty lead the army in person?" Wei Shiliang lay on the ground and expressed his thoughts, "If you return from a great victory, who dares not to obey the matter of Prince Zhao's imperial examination?"
