Emperor Chen looked at King Zhongshan, who was the first among the military attaches.

"Your Majesty!" King Zhongshan came out of the crowd and said with cupped hands: "I think that the Liang Kingdom is now an enemy from the north to the south, and may not be able to take care of our Chen Kingdom."

"As for the Yan people, they are selfless and stubborn. They are like tigers on the side. We have to fortify ourselves to save ourselves! Your Majesty, we should prepare our army for war, strengthen our troops, and be prepared to prevent the Yan people from going south!"

"Um!"

Emperor Chen nodded, then looked down the line of military attachés, stopped at Zhu Xiuyuan, and asked, "What good advice does Zhu Aiqing have?"

Emperor Chen asked Zhu Xiuyuan the second time, which shows how much he values ​​Zhu Xiuyuan!

This incident made many ministers in the hall feel unhappy.

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!" Zhu Xiuyuan naturally disdained to care about their thoughts and stepped forward: "Old Prince Zhongshan's golden words are the best strategy at the moment!"

"In addition, since I once prevented 50,000 Yan troops from attacking the city in Jiangzhou, I have two suggestions, which I hope your Majesty will adopt."

"Oh? I hope Aiqing will tell you soon."

"First, the defense of the capital needs to be strengthened. Defenders from various places can be temporarily transferred to the capital to set up tight defenses around the capital, guard the main roads, and set up checkpoints."

"Secondly, the capital city is close to the Yangtze River. The situation is similar to Jiangzhou. When I was in Jiangzhou, I regretted that there was no naval force available and could not stop the Yan army north of the Yangtze River chasm..."

"Therefore, I suggest that more local naval forces should be transferred from outside and join forces with the original navy in the capital. They should set up tight defenses in various parts of the Yangtze River to prevent the Yan people from quickly crossing the river to attack.

"Um!"

Emperor Chen nodded, then looked at the newly promoted General Han Qingshan of the Royal Guards, and asked: "What is Han Aiqing's advice?"

When the ministers saw that the third person Chen Huang asked about turned out to be Han Qingshan

They were slightly shocked, but also relieved.

Who made Han Qingshan a disciple of an expert?

He was also the number one scholar in the martial arts exam some time ago. I heard that after he went to the Royal Guards, the entire Royal Guards took on a completely new look. Emperor Chen praised him several times in public...

I cannot envy or envy such a talented person!

Furthermore, because Han Qingshan did not do anything to "benefit himself at the expense of others", in the minds of the ministers, although Han Qingshan was appreciated and reused by Emperor Chen as soon as he arrived, they did not feel too strange in their hearts.

In contrast, Zhu Xiuyuan was appreciated and reused by Emperor Chen, which made it difficult for them to accept...

Because after Zhu Xiuyuan came to Beijing, there were "three major cases" first and then there were military campaigns. It can be said that he offended all the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

He has simply become a public enemy of the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty!

After hearing Huang Chen's inquiry, Han Qingshan immediately handed over his hands and walked out with a flash of light in his eyes.

He couldn't help but think about the scene where he and Chen Dongyi met and discussed secretly in a secret room of a teahouse in the city a few days ago...

"Your Majesty, I think what Uncle Jiang Cheng just said is very inappropriate!"

Han Qingshan's face was not red and he was not out of breath. He stood in the middle of the hall, side by side with Zhu Xiuyuan, and spoke loudly and loudly.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the palace, as well as Emperor Chen and Concubine You, who were above the imperial rank, all looked stunned, as if they suspected that they had heard wrongly.

"Han Aiqing just said...what Zhu Aiqing said was very inappropriate?"

Chen Huang couldn't help but change his sitting posture, and at the same time he frowned in deep thought, guessing Han Qingshan's intention.

"That's right!" Han Qingshan was very sure, without caring about his feelings at all, "The defense of the capital is certainly very important. However, there is a capital camp outside the capital, and the old prince Zhongshan personally leads the troops, with more than 200,000 elite soldiers!"

"Your Majesty and the ministers must be very aware of the achievements of the old prince Zhongshan. He has two hundred thousand soldiers, which is enough to protect the capital. How can he be afraid of the Yan people's attack?"

"Furthermore, within the capital, there are four imperial guards stationed in the southeast, northwest, and southeast. There are four guards, including the imperial guard, the rear guard, the left guard, and the right guard. Within the imperial city, there are also Jinwu left guards and Jinwu right guards."

"We have large armies stationed inside and outside the capital. The total strength has reached more than 260,000. It is already a fortified city! In my humble opinion, the defense of the capital should strengthen the training of the existing troops, rectify military discipline, and repair the troops.

First……"

"As for the proposal of transferring garrison troops and navy troops from outside, I think it is not appropriate. Not only will it waste people and money, but if local garrison troops are transferred, local defense will become a problem again... Please think again, Your Majesty!"

After Han Qingshan finished speaking, he cupped his hands and gave a long salute.

It was only then that all the ministers in the palace reacted.

Han Qingshan was the number one scholar in martial arts. It can be said that without martial arts, it would be difficult for him to be appreciated and reused by Emperor Chen.

From the proposal to the preparation of the martial arts examination, it was all handled by Zhu Xiuyuan, the uncle of Jiangcheng.

In other words, Zhu Xiuyuan was kind to Han Qingshan.

But now, before Han Qingshan could repay his kindness, he stabbed Uncle Jiang Cheng hard in the court hall!

Those who were listed as ministers, especially those who had a grudge against Zhu Xiuyuan, had previously thought that Han Qingshan would definitely side with Uncle Jiang Cheng because of his military service.

If that's the case, they will have another enemy.

But the current situation is that Han Qingshan stabbed Jiang Chengbo with his backhand...

Hahaha!

Those ministers almost burst out laughing.

Let you prepare for the martial arts competition, let you prepare for the martial arts competition!

Hehe, it's fine now. The top martial scholar you selected in the martial arts examination is actually opposing you in the court!

The hearts of these ministers were so beautiful that they were all watching Zhu Xiuyuan's big joke, as if they were drinking from a sweet spring.

"I second the proposal of General Han!"

"For the defense of the capital, Old Prince Zhongshan is enough, why do we need others?"

"Uncle Jiang Cheng is young and may be talented, but he has only fought one battle in his life. How can he have the nerve to point fingers in front of the old prince Zhongshan and do whatever he wants?"

"Your Majesty, Uncle Jiang Cheng's advice is that it wastes people and money and wastes time to garrison troops in local areas, which is inappropriate for local defense! I ask your Majesty to think again!"

Needless to say, the group of ministers who had a grudge against Zhu Xiuyuan came forward one after another, creating another situation where the ministers were in opposition!

The ministers below the main hall were filled with indignation. On the imperial steps of the main hall, on the dragon chair, Chen Huangzheng took a look and carefully observed the expressions of Zhu Xiuyuan and Han Qingshan.

After a while, the corners of Chen Huang's mouth rose slightly.

From this point of view, Jiang Chengbo and Han Qingshan did not engage in any "partying for personal gain" due to martial arts!

Very good, Chen Huang is very satisfied!

Beside Chen Huang, Concubine You observed carefully and gradually understood Chen Huang's thoughts.

But at the same time, Concubine You was also thinking quickly in her mind that Han Qingshan was also an outstanding talent, so she should find a way to win over him...

Below the main hall.

Most of the ministers walked to the middle of the hall and echoed Han Qingshan's words, disparaging Zhu Xiuyuan.

The only ones still standing untouched, except for those ministers who had been neutral for thousands of years, were King Zhongshan and Prime Minister Li Zhong.

King Zhongshan was actually one of the parties involved, so it was difficult for him to speak. He just stood where he was, frowning in deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

As for the Prime Minister Li Zhong, seeing such a situation in the main hall, he frowned and pondered for a long time.

Suddenly, Li Zhong's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something, so he immediately came out to pay homage: "Your Majesty, I also second my advice to General Han!"

"Old Prince Zhongshan has been stationed in the capital for decades, and there has never been any chaos during this period! I have great trust in the abilities of Old Prince Zhongshan."

"Another point is that the Liang State is now in a short-term battle with Tibet, and is confronting Chen Bing of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. However, although the Yan State in the north has always wanted to destroy us, Da Chen, so far, we have not received any news indicating that Yan

There’s anything unusual about people!”

"So the old minister believes that it is enough to strengthen the existing defense, and there is no need to transfer external garrisons and naval forces! At the same time, we should send out more scouts to conduct detailed operations to find out the movements of the Yan people."

"If something happens to the Yan people, we should be well prepared in advance!"

After Li Zhong finished speaking, he bowed his hands and returned to his original position.

Li Zhong was the head of the civil service, and his words now ignited the passion of the ministers even more.

They spoke more fiercely, and even mentioned the old saying that "Jiangcheng Bo is a Yan spy"...

Suddenly, Emperor Chen pressed down with one hand, and the anger of the ministers stopped immediately.

The noisy main hall suddenly became eerily quiet.

"The words of Han Aiqing and the words of the Prime Minister are not unreasonable!" Emperor Chen turned to look at King Zhongshan, "Uncle Zhongshan, what do you have to say about this matter?"

"Your Majesty, I have been fighting for half my life without any defeat. I have 200,000 elite soldiers under my command, which is enough!"

King Zhongshan didn't say much, but his meaning was expressed very clearly.

Emperor Chen thought for a long time and smiled: "Uncle Zhongshan is the backbone of the country. I still believe in Uncle Zhongshan's ability."

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Chen looked at Zhu Xiuyuan again and asked: "Zhu Aiqing, I also feel that there is no need to transfer local troops to garrison. I wonder if Zhu Aiqing has any other good ideas?"

"Uh..." Zhu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly. He just said it casually. Since everyone disagrees, then just disagree. He has nothing to lose.

"I am young and have nothing to do, so I made the mistake of speaking arrogantly... Please forgive me, Mr. Zhongshan!"

Zhu Xiuyuan saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty, I also agree with General Han's advice. Please make your own decision!"

Emperor Chen nodded, clapped his hands on the armrests of the dragon chair, and pondered for a while, "Starting from today, we will strengthen the defense of the capital. The capital camp, Yulin Guards, Jinwu Guards, and the Divine Thunder Army must all be prepared!"

"In addition, please ask Emperor Zhongshan to send out scouts to find out the whereabouts of the Yan people in the north. If there is any movement, report it as soon as possible within 800 miles! Retreat from the court!"
