Chapter 554: Want to obtain military power

The next day, morning court.

Li Yu participated in the court meeting.

In the past morning courts, the princes stood in front of him in a row.

In today's morning court, only Li Yu was alone.

It seems to be alone.

Looking back at the time when I was in court, the princes stood together. No matter what they thought in their hearts, at least they were talking and laughing on the surface, with brothers and brothers respectful.

When he thought of that, Li Yu's mouth couldn't help but quench.

Over the past year, too many things have happened, and the court is still the same, but things have changed.

Shortly after the ministers entered the hall, Li Ju walked in with the help of Hu Wei.

All the ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Li Ju waved his hand and said, "You are calm."

Without waiting for the minister to report, Li Ju signaled Hu Wei, who was beside him, to read the imperial edict.

Li Ju's imperial edict greatly commended Li Yu's achievements.

All the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions were also rewarded.

Like Chen Fang, Gao Tu, Qin Shengying and others, in addition to rewards for their wealth, they were also named generals.

After Hu Wei read the imperial edict, the ministers kowtowed again and called His Majesty the wise and wise.

Tao Yuan raised the tablet in his hand and said, "Your Majesty!"

Li Ju looked at Tao Yuan and said with a smile: "What is the matter of Zhenguo Duke?"

Tao Yuan said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the King of Wu is now in the capital, and the 500,000 army is still fighting in the Saro Kingdom. There are no leaders in the group, and the war will inevitably change.

In the eyes of my ministers, let His Highness the King of Wu return to the army as soon as possible!”

The atmosphere in the capital has been wrong recently, and many public opinions are very unfavorable to Li Yu.

Tao Yuan hoped Li Yu could leave quickly and avoid the right and wrong place of the capital for the time being, so as not to cause trouble or cause sudden trouble.

Li Ju nodded thoughtfully when he heard this. Before he could speak, Zhou Neng raised the tablet and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Please speak if you have something to say!"

Zhou Neng said seriously: "The Kingdom of Saro is far away from our Great Zhou. The battle of Saro is irrelevant to our Great Zhou. The top priority is the battle of Dai County, and the battle of Dai County is the most important!"

Seeing that Li Ju and his ministers were nodding, Zhou Neng continued, "So, according to my opinion, His Highness the King of Wu should stay in the capital to prevent accidents!"

Tao Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is the accident that Duke Xuan said?"

Zhou Neng asked back: "Did Duke Zhenguo never consider how the court should respond if the founding Duke was defeated in Daijun and the Eight Kings lead their troops to head south and take the capital straight to the capital?"

Tao Yuan frowned and stared at Zhou Neng without saying anything.

Zhou Neng said: "The talent of His Highness of the King of Wu is obvious to all! In Liangzhou, His Highness of the King of Wu defeated the barbarians of Xiaoyang Kingdom many times! In Qinzhou, His Highness of the King of Wu defeated the millions of Western thieves! It can be said that he is powerful and famous all over the world! With His Highness of the King of Wu guarding the capital, the court can rest assured, and Your Majesty can rest assured!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many ministers agreed: "What Duke Xuan said is extremely true!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Li Ju frowned and said with a worried look on his face: "But if the Seventeenth brother does not return to the Kingdom of Saro, our army's 500,000 soldiers will indeed be without a leader!"

Zhou Neng immediately responded: "The barbarians are not worth worrying about! I, the Great Zhou, the Duke and the General, have countless people. Your Majesty can choose a good general and take over the position of commander of the army!"

Speaking of this, he turned to look at Li Yu again, interfered in the salute, and said, "I think, Your Highness, the King of Wu, won't mind, right?"

As soon as he said this, the ministers present changed their expressions.

Duke Xuan wanted to directly deprive King Wu of military power!

How could Li Yu not see Zhou Neng’s intention?

Zhou Neng seems to have never been able to get along with him.

Have you offended him before?

However, Li Yu didn't care much about Zhou Neng's words.

Military power is not so easy to deprive.

There are 400,000 troops in the capital, plus 100,000 border troops, and hundreds of generals and officials from all over the country, but which general was not promoted by him, Li Yu?

The airborne coach actually had little impact on Li Yu's control of this army.

Unless the coach is very skilled and can replace all the generals and officials in the entire army in a short period of time, and all of them will be replaced with his own people, and it will not cause a mutiny.

But no matter who it is, it is too difficult to do this.

Li Yu looked at Zhou Neng and asked faintly: "Duke Xuan is hinting that I have a disobedient attitude towards Your Majesty?"

Zhou Neng was shocked and didn't react for a while.

When did I say you have a disobedient heart?

Li Yu said seriously: "The soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou are the soldiers of the emperor, not the soldiers of my Li Yu! If you want to change the commander, it will naturally be decided by Your Majesty. Duke Xuan came to ask me, what do you mean?"

His remarks made Zhou Neng sweat in a cold sweat.

The ministers present also subconsciously shrank their necks.

It has only been seen for a year, and the changes of His Highness the King of Wu can be truly seen by the naked eye.

His Highness the King of Wu is no longer the absurd seventeenth prince who was once absurd and silenced every word he said.

Zhou Neng coughed awkwardly and said anxiously: "I... Of course I don't mean this..."

Li Yu sneered and said nothing more.

Li Ju looked at Zhou Neng with no expression on his face, and asked slowly: "Duke Xuan thought that who would take over as the head coach is the most appropriate?"

"This... of course, your Majesty has to decide!"

After being strongly promoted by Li Yu, Zhou Neng's aggressive arrogance was obviously extinguished.

Li Ji's eyes turned, glanced at the ministers below and asked, "Who would go to the Kingdom of Saro, replace the King of Wu, command a 500,000 army, expel the people of Xifan, and help the people of Saro restore the country?"

After he asked, the hall was quiet and silent.

The family background that Li Hui left to Li Ju is rich. There are so many founding heroes in the court, and there are so many generals and generals.

However, no one in the powerful people in the court was willing to stand up and volunteer.

They all knew in their hearts that the army of 500,000 was brought out by the King of Wu.

If I go and take over, how many people will follow my orders?

Disagreement between generals and generals is a taboo in commanding the army.

Originally, 500,000 capital troops helped the Saro people restore the country, which was a foregone conclusion.

Maybe you go by yourself, there will be variables in the war. If the battle is not effective, who will bear the responsibility?

Therefore, it is thankless to go to take over the 500,000 capital army under Li Yu's command.

If a war is won, it will be said to be a fruit that is ready-made. If a war is lost, it will be even more unforgivable and you have to bear all the responsibilities.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one in the court was talking, Li Ju looked at Zhou Neng again and asked, "Did Duke Xuan see it?"

No one of the civil and military officials in the court was willing to go to the Kingdom of Saro to take over the 500,000 army!"

Zhou Neng frowned secretly.

Li Ju asked slowly, "How about going by Duke Xuan?"

When Zhou Neng heard this, his body shivered and almost knelt on the ground.

He is just a civil servant and can handle government affairs, so where can he lead troops to fight?

He quickly intervened and said with a panic expression: "I don't dare!"

"Then, can Duke Xuan have a suitable candidate and recommend it to me?"

"This...this..."

Zhou Neng hesitates.

Seeing this, Li Ju's face darkened.

As a leader, no one will like such subordinates.

You can always pick out diseases and find problems, but you can't give any solution to the problem.
