She Doesn’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

   Chapter 420

  The counter-insurgency army relied on its numerical superiority and did not put the local people in its eyes.

  A very fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.

The   counter-insurgency army soon suppressed the people who were trying to stop the setting of the mountains. In the process, there were inevitably deaths and injuries, and the number was still quite high.

  This caused the people's emotions to become even more resentful.

  Their ancestors have lived there for generations, and the relationship between relatives and friends has already spread to the surrounding villages and towns.

   Soon people from other villages and towns also rushed over. The more people gathered, the more troublesome things got.

  Many of them, stimulated by hatred, went so far as to throw themselves into the rebel army.

  This not only indirectly increased the momentum of the rebels, but also caused the court’s image in the hearts of the people to plummet.

  Li Ji couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

  It's stupid to be beaten to a good hand!

  Chen Wangbei said solemnly.

  "General Xuanwei said that the counter-insurgency might not be successful, and might even help the rebels gain a foothold locally. Even if they stay in Lingnan, it is useless, so they will return to the prince."

  Li Ji nodded slightly: "Thanks to your hard work during this period, let's go down and take a good rest."

   "It's all part of the subordinates, I dare not say hard work."

  Chen Wangbei clasped his fists in a salute, turned and left the study.

  Li Ji propped his forehead with one hand, and looked down at the letter paper in the pen sink that had been completely blurred.

  He was still a little puzzled, why would General Xuanwei suddenly send him a letter at this time?

  At this time he finally understood.

  General Xuanwei said in the letter that he wanted to see him, but he was actually hinting at him that he hoped that he could find a way to win the task of leading the troops to quell the chaos.

  As long as he can get the permission of the emperor to lead troops to Lingnan to calm the chaos, he will be able to meet General Xuanwei in Lingnan as a matter of course.

  Li Ji’s index finger tapped his knee lightly.

   "Lingnan..."

  ……

What happened between the   Ping Rebel army and the local people was written in the memorial to the local county magistrate, submitted to the Zhongshu Province, and then transferred to the emperor through the Zhongshu Province.

After reading the memorial, the emperor was furious on the spot.

   "I let them calm the chaos, not let them add to the chaos!"

  Someone committed a disturbance, and the emperor sent someone to quell the chaos.

  This matter is well-known and reasonable.

   However, being so mixed up, the court became an unreasonable party, and the emperor and the court’s reputation in the hearts of the people was completely defeated!

  Everyone in the Imperial Study Room lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to breathe.

  In the end, an veteran came forward, suggesting that the military commander should be replaced as soon as possible, and the Lingnan county magistrate should unite with the local famous clan elders to try their best to appease the people who are out of control and try to resolve the conflict between the court and the people.

  The emperor took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

  He accepted the veteran’s proposal.

  So the question is coming.

  Who else in the dynasty can lead the troops to quell the chaos?

  The emperor once again thought of Li Ji.

  But soon he pressed the idea again.

  The prestige accumulated by Li Ji in the army is already high enough, and it is really inappropriate to let him return to the army.

  An veteran came forward and suggested that General Xuanwei should take over the situation.

  The emperor was silent.

  At the beginning, he sent General Xuanwei to guard Lingnan, on the one hand, he valued the talent of General Xuanwei, and on the other hand, he was trying to contain the Lord Zhen Guo.

At that time, the Lord Zhen Guo continued to perform meritorious service on the battlefield and became a hero who was admired by the army. This made the emperor inevitably feel a sense of crisis in his heart. He wanted to take back the military power from Lord Zhen Guo, but No suitable opportunity was found for a while.

  At that time, Lord Zhenguo and General Xuanwei fell out.

  The emperor sent General Xuanwei to guard the south of the Ling, and handed over the 50,000-day mighty army to General Xuanwei.

The area around   Lingnan is rich in mountains and forests, and many ethnic minorities live there. It is a very important but extremely difficult place to govern.

  There were still people in the court who thought that General Xuanwei could not live with those sturdy ethnic minorities.

  But after so many years, Lingnan has been safe and sound.

  This is enough to explain the ability of General Xuanwei.

  It is reasonable to say that General Xuanwei will take over the quelling of the chaos. There should be no problem.

  But the emperor still had some doubts in his heart.

  When he heard the news that General Xuanwei and Lord Zhenguo fell out, he sent General Xuanwei to Lingnan without much thought.

  For so many years, doubts gradually grew in the emperor's heart.

  The timing of the fallout between General Xuanwei and Lord Zhenguo was too coincidental. It happened to be when the emperor was trying to take away the power of the army from Lord Zhenguo.

  The emperor has never hesitated to think about the worst aspects of people outside.

  He now has some doubts, are General Xuanwei and Zhen Guo Gong acting deliberately?

  Since he was suspicious, the emperor would not let General Tianwei be in charge of the military.

  The veterans did not speak when they saw the emperor. They knew that the emperor was not satisfied with General Xuanwei. Although they were puzzled, they did not dare to ask more.

  The emperor asked what other suitable leaders?

  How shrewd are the veterans?

  They saw that the emperor did not trust those generals.

  So they mentioned a civil official named Wu Shufeng.

  Although Wu Shufeng entered the official ranks through the imperial examination, he has no power to restrain the chicken, but he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he can recite all the art of war.

  His chess skills are also extremely exquisite. He can integrate the art of war into the game. No matter how difficult the game is, he can solve it. He can be called a genius in the art of war.

  If he can be put on the battlefield, he may become a generation of Confucian generals.

  As the saying goes, it is better to see once.

  The emperor summoned Wu Shufeng to enter the palace. He presented several problems that he would encounter when marching and fighting. He wanted to test and teach Wu Shufeng.

  As a result, Wu Shufeng answered fluently, and the answers he gave were all approaching perfection, and there was almost nothing to blame.

  The emperor appreciated this talented young man, and quickly made a decision to let Wu Shufeng take over as the head coach of the counter-insurgency army, and let General Xuanwei assist him.

  Wu Shufeng has military skills, and General Xuanwei has actual combat experience and is quite familiar with the local area.

  It should be no problem for the two to work together.

  As for the two generals who had not succeeded but failed, they were urgently recalled to Beijing, waiting for them to be severely punished by the saints.

  The next day Hua Manman and Li Ji went out and saw the shop in the center of Kaiyang Street.

  The two are very satisfied with the shop.

  The decoration and recruitment will be arranged by Zhaowang’s staff.

  Hua Manman does not need to worry, she only needs to tell her own requirements.

  After reading the shop, the two of them took a while to sit in the teahouse next to them.

  They were taken to the private room on the second floor.

  As soon as Hua Manman and Li Ji sat down, they heard laughter from the elegant room next door.

  The soundproofing of this private room is not very good. Even though the people next door are not very loud, Hua Manman and Li Ji can still hear clearly.
