Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

Suddenly, the hall was silent.

The ministers glanced at each other secretly, suspicions rising in their hearts, and the beads on their abacus began to click loudly.

They had no idea who His Majesty was talking about, not to mention that His Majesty had not revealed any information at all during the morning court session.

Could it be that these are talents that Your Majesty has recently promoted from the Hanlin Academy, and that he is going to be placed in the court?

"How about this, my dear ministers, do you have any objections?"

Zhao Changlin rested her cheek on her fingertips and lowered her eyes to scan the court officials standing in the Golden Throne Hall. She did not seem to be asking questions, but rather conveying the emperor's order.

The officials who were swept were all shocked, and they bent down tremblingly and knelt down in servility.

"Your Majesty, I do not have any."

Holding imperial tablets in their hands, they answered in unison, fearing that they would be a step late.

Zhao Changlin's face showed no expression. She continued, "In that case, I will send the daughter of the Minister of Rites."

A hammer is fixed.

The ministers were all stunned. Even Xia Yizi, who was standing at the end, couldn't believe it. He widened his eyes and tightly clenched the imperial scepter in his hand.

How come he didn't get such a good deal, but his daughter got it instead! ?

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

At this time, several officials fell to the ground. They were all from Xizhou City and were naturally worried about their fellow countrymen. How could a young lady from the boudoir take on such a big responsibility?

How can Xizhou City be a plaything for Your Majesty to please beauties? This is truly a misfortune for the whole court and the country, and a sorrow for Daliang!

Your Majesty, aren't you just talking nonsense? This is really too much of a joke!

"Your Majesty, Xizhou City has been suffering losses so far, and the people are tired and complaining. This is a place where talented people can show their talents. How can you send a girl who has never left home?"

The man spoke righteously, spitting everywhere.

"I second the proposal!"

"What Lord Zhang said is exactly what I think in my heart!"

Zhao Changlin had expected this mess. She raised her hand and looked at her fingers, which had some purple marks on them.

The two of them sang in unison and performed the whole play to the fullest, as if they wanted to put Zhao Changlin on a high platform and force him to give up this rash decision.

Gradually, other court officials joined the ranks, making the movement even more powerful.

They originally thought that as long as there were enough people opposing it, His Majesty would inevitably give up his decision due to the pressure of the situation.

"Oh~ In that case, is there anyone among you willing to go to Xizhou City?"

Zhao Changlin looked at those figures. Their official ranks were not low. If he sent them to Xizhou City to undertake the task of rebuilding, he was afraid that none of them would be willing to do so.

This frontier area is extremely cold and hot, and is often invaded by pirates. Across the sea, the Daluo Kingdom is stationed on the border, eyeing the country covetously.

How could it be a good job? For those high-ranking officials in the government and the government, this is simply a hot potato that lowers their own status.

Far away from the center of government and opposition, where would they get so much money?

"This……"

For a moment, everyone was silent.

"Master Zhang just spoke so righteously, how about you go there?"

The supreme emperor on the dragon throne did not show any mercy because of the troubles caused by these people.

Instead, he seriously inquired how many people were willing to go to Xizhou City to rectify the border and bring peace to the people.

The old man who was named stood there, coughed twice, smiled bitterly, frowned deeply, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't complain. If I were a few years younger and stronger, I would not be afraid of the long journey."

"But I am old, my teeth are almost falling out, and I have family to take care of..."

He said all the good and bad things.

Zhao Changlin listened to this long list of excuses patiently and stood up.

The old minister thought that His Majesty was going to get angry, so he immediately fell to his knees, resting his palms on the red carpet, tears streaming down his face.

This face-changing technique is even more skillful than that of a clown.

"Since Lord Zhang is already old, who else is willing to volunteer?"

"Could it be that in my vast court, there is not a single person willing to do so?"

Do you really think she can't see this little trick? They want her to transfer people from other places to fill this hole, so that they can use their official positions to control her and cut back on the benefits of Xizhou City.

On the surface, these high-ranking officials from Xizhou City are righteous and concerned about their fellow countrymen, but in fact they are only thinking about how to make money from their hometown.

If the imperial court wanted to rebuild and strengthen the defenses of Xizhou City, it would have to divert money from the national treasury, and large amounts of official silver would flow out, passing through one hurdle after another.

How many people actually went to the government office in Xizhou City?

Asking them to lower their rank and send back, one by one they acted like they had eaten a fly and wanted to spit it out immediately.

"Your Majesty, the court is in need of talent right now. Why not select from last year's imperial examination? The Hanlin Academy also has a lot of talent. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about not having anyone to use."

The official who had spoken first continued to advise, saying that he was a top scholar, and even though he was young, the entire court and the country looked up to him.

Naturally, he said this with his own selfish motives. Most of the Hanlin and Jinshi candidates in the imperial examination were his classmates and friends. If Zhao Changlin really transferred people from the Hanlin and Jinshi ranks to take up the post, he would be saying a few good words for his classmate.

Even though this official position is not high, even a mosquito leg is still meat, and it is better than being idle at home and living off your savings.

"It's not that I don't want to."

"There are often pirates on the border of Xizhou City, killing people like flies. Scholars only read books of sages, so they may sympathize with the people's hard work, but if they don't read military books, how can they protect their country?"

Zhao Changlin said this on purpose. She naturally knew that the civil officials were advisers and would not like to hear her say such disparaging words about the civil officials.

But what she wanted was for the civil servants to get angry and humiliated.

As expected, the top scholar continued, "Your Majesty, why do you say that? It is the duty of a scholar to protect his family and country. As long as Your Majesty is in trouble, as long as the country is in trouble, as long as Xizhou City is in trouble, I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation!"

But just as he was about to speak and pursue the victory, Nuo Zimu took a step forward, held the imperial sceptre in both hands, and walked out with a nimble posture.

General Sima, who looked majestic and still in good shape, glanced at the top scholar with disdain.

He said, "I think what your majesty said is reasonable. How can marching and fighting be compared to writing on paper? Life and death are only a fine line between them. Moreover, the water bandits are far more vicious than the mountain stronghold bandits. They occupy the island as their nest, and all the family members are raised in the water stronghold. I heard that the water bandits outside Xizhou City are good at using a scimitar."

"They like to dive onto the fishing boats of the people of Xizhou at night. Their curved knives are as silver as the bright moon, and they can cut off a person's head and sever his bones with one strike."

"If you continue to insult the dead, destroy the bodies and plunder the entire ship. If you can take anything away from the ship, take it away. If you can't take anything away, burn it to ashes."

"Can the top scholar remain calm in the face of danger?"
