Quick Travel: Who taught you how to attack villains like this?

Chapter 219 The sickly peasant girl × the pure love scholar (9)

Emperor Jingming thought about the capable ministers he longed for but couldn't ask for, and then looked at the ministers quarreling below, like shrews, with blue veins popping up on their foreheads.

He picked up something aside and smashed it on the ground, "Shut up."

If the tiger doesn't show off its power, do you really think it's a sick cat?

Every one of them is a piece of trash, and they can make noises just by opening their mouths.

When the ministers below saw that the emperor was angry, they immediately became quiet, like a duck being strangled by the neck.

Emperor Jingming was very satisfied, snorted softly, and then said: "It is absolutely impossible for me to negotiate peace with the enemy country and also send the eldest princess for marriage."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The Minister of Rites stood up and said straightforwardly: "We no longer have generals suitable for the expedition. If we continue to fight, the enemy's army will attack the imperial city, and we will perish."

Emperor Jingming: "..."

Do you want it to be so heartbreaking?

Are you saying that you want to subjugate the country in front of him?

Listen, is this what people say?

Emperor Jingming was very angry.

He felt that he was obviously a person who could create a prosperous and prosperous king, but it was these ministers who were holding him back that led to today's situation.

He stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Without a marriage, no compensation, no land cession, and no tribute, the emperor will guard the country and the king will die."

"This is a rule passed down by our ancestors. Even if the country is about to be destroyed, I will never let the eldest princess go and get married."

Emperor Jingming's words reminded all civil and military officials of the founding emperor, that god-like man.

The civil servants who agreed with the peace negotiation lowered their heads in unison, with guilty expressions on their faces.

Emperor Jingming saw that they no longer talked about peace talks, and slowly sat back on the dragon throne.

"Okay, now let's talk about who should be sent to lead the troops in the war!"

After finishing speaking, the generals looked at me and I looked at you, and they all felt moved.

Just as they were preparing to go out and ask for troops to fight, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who had just returned from disaster relief, stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have an excellent candidate here. I think that with her ability, there is absolutely no problem in taking over the position of General Zhenguo."

"Oh, who is it? Come and tell me quickly."

When Emperor Jingming heard what he said, he immediately sat up straight.

Someone who can succeed the general of Zhenguo!

He was really looking forward to it.

The Minister of Civil Affairs solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I met this person on my way to provide disaster relief. She was originally a refugee fleeing from famine. In order to have enough food, she single-handedly destroyed Qinglong Village, which had done all kinds of evil. Later, she was destroyed one after another. There are several other bandit villages, and now there are no bandit villages in the states near Qinglong Village."

"One person destroyed the entire Qinglong Village?"

Emperor Jingming's eyes lit up instantly. Isn't this the capable minister he longed for? And he is a capable minister who can lead troops to fight.

He quickly asked: "What is this person's name?"

"Yu Yan."

"Oh, my name is Yu Yan. Send me the decree quickly and grant me the title of... hmm? Yu Yan? Woman?"

Emperor Jingming was extremely excited and was about to issue an order to appoint a mighty general to lead troops in war.

But then he realized that the person the Minister of Civil Affairs was talking about was a woman.

The Minister of Civil Affairs met Emperor Jingming's gaze, nodded solemnly, and said, "Your Majesty, this person is indeed a woman."

"But although she is a woman, her ability is no worse than that of men, or even worse. Therefore, Your Majesty, I beg you to order her to lead the troops in the war."

Emperor Jingming didn't speak after hearing his words.

Those old-fashioned civil servants could not sit still.

"This is nonsense. How can you let a woman go to the battlefield?"

"Since ancient times, women have given birth to children and taken care of the housework. How can they lead troops and fight in wars?"

"Women should live peacefully and stay at home to support their husbands and raise their children. This is the right way. Why lead troops in war? Are our military ministers dead?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for a woman to be a general and lead troops in war. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

"..."

Listening to those old-fashioned words, the Minister of Civil Affairs couldn't help but said: "What do you mean that women can't be allowed to lead troops in war? Are you not allowed to do things that you can't do yourself?"

"The founding emperor once said that women can hold up half the sky. They are the strongest in the world. No hardship can defeat them. Are you questioning the founding emperor?"

"You can't do this every day, and that's not allowed. Just don't stay here. It's best to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Let's see if the enemy won't chop off your heads because of your words."

It has to be said that Emperor Jingming felt relieved when he heard the rebuke from the Minister of Civil Affairs.

He actually wanted to scold those rigid ministers.

But he is a man who aspires to become a prosperous and wise king, and he has no choice but to endure it because he doesn't want to ruin his image.

What if, a thousand years later, future generations will judge him as angry and abusive?

Emperor Jingming waited until the Minister of Staff had finished quarreling with others, and then he happily reconciled the situation.

Then he said: "The Minister of Civil Affairs is right. Since Yu Yan has such talent, there is no need to stick to whether she is a man or a woman. Besides, now that the country is facing a national crisis, the priority should be to repel the enemy's army."

"Come here, deliver the message, and make Yu Yan a third-grade heroine general to lead the troops in the war."

ps: "The emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country" is mainly a description of the historical events in which Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan.

The founding emperor of this country was a time traveler, so this saying was passed down!
