All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 207 Wang Mang, I Do What You Wish

Sleeping together, in the early court, I heard that the queen was favored, and these days, the behavior of the emperor has become more and more unclear to everyone.

"Your Majesty, it's getting colder and colder these days. The army guarding the north must prepare enough supplies, otherwise they won't be able to survive this winter."

Wang Mang stood up and was quite proud to hear that he would be by the emperor's side these days.

As long as you prepare properly, send Cheng Yaojin to the north, and wait until the day of the Chinese New Year, when he will sit on the throne soon.

The news from the north, not to mention Wang Mang alone, even the entire court ministers received it.

They didn't know what to do, and the emperor hadn't expressed his opinion yet.

But Wang Mang said it, and everyone expressed their opinions one after another. Ling Xiao listened from above. The army in the north should consider them for them, but Wang Mang has his own ideas.

No matter how you think about it, you can't let the soldiers starve and freeze, otherwise how can he, the emperor, live a good year?

"I understand that it is enough to send them winter clothes, some food, and money, but who is going to send them?"

Squinting his eyes, he looked at everyone below, but the other ministers put their minds on Wang Mang. After all, Wang Mang was a famous general in the Qi Dynasty.

He also has many generals under his command, all of whom were trained by him, and it is most suitable for him to come forward.

As for some civil servants, they have already begun to shrink back. They heard that it is very cold in the north and the environment is not good. Once they get there, they will be too cold to speak.

These people are weak and weak, if they were sent by the emperor, wouldn't they die there, and they would not be able to persist in the capital?

Huo Guang thought for a while, and he absolutely couldn't let Wang Mang go there alone, but if the army was persuaded by Wang Mang, he would be a mercenary, and when the time came to demolish the capital, he would have no chance to sit on the throne.

"Since sending someone, why not let Lu Feng go first!"

Huo Guang knew that his subordinates were nothing more than civil servants. If those people went, even if Wang Mang wanted to rebel, he would not be able to beat them at all.

But Lu Fengxian was different. Ever since he entered the court, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Fengxian was by the emperor's side, and he was extremely capable and an excellent general.

The people around the emperor, even if Wang Mang has [-] courage, still have to think carefully.

After being divided into two waves of troops, I don't believe that Wang Mang can still mobilize the troops safely.

It's Huo Guang again, this old guy, why is it him again?
He obviously wanted to send Cheng Yaojin, but someone had already introduced Lu Fengxian, and Wang Mang had no choice but to swallow his words.

Ling Xiao looked at Wang Mang's eyes and knew that Wang Mang had not achieved his wish, so he would definitely think of another way. Instead of doing this, it would be better to do it in one step.

He raised his head and looked at Lu Fengxian. Lu Fengxian still had important things to do in the army. He had to train the army for him, and he had to protect Kyoto if Wang Mang really took control.

Wang Mang also knew his mission well, and he couldn't go this time, so he took two steps forward and knelt down.

"My minister has no experience, but the soldiers in Lord Wang Mang's hands have been to the north more than once. If I go there, I will not be able to deal with it when the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, and I will even lose supplies."

Withdrew directly, seeing the smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, Lu Fengxian heaved a sigh of relief, it turned out that he guessed the emperor's meaning correctly.

The emperor should have other candidates, although he really wants to make contributions, but he knows that the emperor didn't tell him, so there is no need to grab it.

At this moment, Wang Mang wanted to hold Lu Fengxian's hand and thank him profusely. He was so sensible that he took the initiative to let him go.

"I have indeed been to the north, and the generals under my command were all brought out by me. It would be the most suitable to send supplies."

"This time, I suggest that Cheng Yaojin, who has been with the emperor for many days, lead the troops to go north. He is very powerful, and he has gained knowledge by the emperor's side, so it is most suitable."

Cheng Yaojin looked around and knew in his heart that it was actually him, but he didn't show it.

Ling Xiao groped his chin, extremely embarrassed, stared at Cheng Yaojin, and slapped the table.

"It's extremely difficult for him to recognize two characters, and he has to go to the north, which is just causing trouble for me!"

These days, everyone knew that Cheng Yaojin was at the emperor's side, and when he read the memorial, he frequently encountered difficulties.

"Forget it, forget it, let's put you in the north so that you don't get in the way in front of me."

"When the supplies are delivered this time, you also stay to the north and don't come back again."

"Seeing you now, I'm very annoyed. How can someone not even know how to read?"

Angrily, he just left with his hands behind his back.

All the courtiers looked at each other, but when they looked at Cheng Yaojin, they were full of sympathy. Could this also offend the emperor?

Back then in front of the emperor, I don't know how many people enviously turned their eyes red. Now that he made a mistake in front of the emperor, it's not bad to save his life.

But if you are sent to the north for life, you will have no chance to make achievements in this life. When will you be able to return to the capital?

This is the greatest punishment.

Wang Mang breathed a sigh of relief, seeing everyone talking to Cheng Yaojin, he knew there was no chance right now, so he left the palace early.

"You said that you are a big bastard. Now that you have offended the emperor, you will not be able to return to the capital in the future. Just cry, kid."

"Maybe I can't go back to the capital. I heard that it's extremely cold in the north, and there's often no water to drink. Some people even freeze to death."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, we are not going to the north. With his physique, at least he can last for a few months."

On the contrary, Cheng Yaojin was cheerful, showing a row of big white teeth when he saw others sympathized with him.

"What's the point of this? As long as I'm not allowed to read, I can suffer from anything, at worst, I'll suffer from a little cold, but the book in front of me, I know the characters, I don't know the characters."

It made everyone laugh out loud, and even Lu Fengxian couldn't help laughing. Such a person went to the north, he really had a pure heart.

But it is also possible to deliver the materials to everyone.

"Your Majesty, this time, if you let Lord Cheng leave, he won't come back. Do you want to add more to the position of the book boy next to you?"

Li Dequan served a cup of tea and asked intimately.

Ling Xiao glanced at it, and there was no shortage of book boys, only Zhuo Qing was enough.

Moreover, these memorials were all classified by Zhuo Qing himself, and had nothing to do with Cheng Yaojin.

Stay by your side, but just watch.

"Okay, those courtiers haven't mentioned Shutong to me yet, why did you mention it first? Since they didn't mention it, just pretend they didn't know about it."
