After my rebirth, I became the Prince Regent's favorite

Zhu Shangshu hurriedly kowtowed: "I dare not deny it. I was just speaking out of anger. Please forgive me!"

Xiao Sheng sneered: "Zhu Shangshu, what are you saying in anger? You just want to threaten me by relying on your old age!"

Zhu Shangshu's expression suddenly turned pale and ugly, and he quickly begged: "Your Majesty, I have realized my mistake. I regretted it so much that I wanted to pull out my tongue last night!"

Xiao Sheng waved his hand: "Plucking out your tongue doesn't work. I feel sorry for you and hand over my position as Minister of War. Go home and retire!"

He paused and then said: "Someone came and blocked Zhu Shangshu's mouth. I will have a headache when I hear his voice!"

A young chamberlain quickly went to the palace, took a brocade handkerchief and filled Zhu Shangshu's mouth.

King Huainan's pupils shrank violently, but Xiao Sheng was still as arrogant as ever!

Now that it was certain that Zhu Shangshu would be raped, he had to quickly come up with a candidate.

He hesitated for a moment before saying: "Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, why not let Sun Qing, the Minister of War, serve as Minister of War. He has followed Zhu Shangshu for many years and is very familiar with the Ministry of War. What do you think?"

He turned to look at the courtiers, with a chilling look in his eyes.

The courtiers did not dare to look at him, so they could only nod slowly: "The candidate recommended by the prince is excellent. I second my opinion!"

Zhu Shangshu didn't expect that King Huainan would give up on him like this. He subconsciously wanted to argue, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't make any sound at all.

He could only whine in protest with a ferocious look on his face.

King Huainan felt that he was an eyesore and couldn't help but said with dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, he is making such a fuss in the court and we can't have a good discussion. We might as well have someone drag him down first!"

Xiao Sheng immediately shouted: "What are you still doing? Didn't you hear King Huainan's order? Drag the person away! Hurry!"

Zhu Shangshu's resentful eyes fell on King Huainan, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

The King of Huainan didn't take it to heart at all. In his eyes, abandoning a son was equivalent to being useless.

Xiao Sheng said calmly: "Everyone who seconded the proposal to let Sun Qing serve as Minister of War should come out and let me see how many people there are!"

As his words fell, most of the courtiers stood up.

King Huainan narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, everything was under his control.

At this time, Fang Qingzhuo suddenly stood up and said: "The general believes that Sun Qing is not worthy of serving as Minister of War. Please think again, Prince Regent!"

Sun Qing, the Minister of War, suddenly turned pale and ugly. He quickly stood up and retorted: "General Fang, what do you mean? Why am I not worthy?"

Fang Qingzhuo raised his eyebrows sarcastically: "What Shilang Sun did before was forgotten so quickly. You transferred the military pay that should be sent to the northwest to the Huainan Army without authorization. Do you want to brush aside such a major mistake and not mention it?"

Sun Qing explained awkwardly: "I just made a small mistake. Didn't I make up for it later? Why should General Fang hold on to this matter so tightly? No one is a saint, so who can make mistakes?"

Fang Qingzhuo said without hesitation: "The small mistake you made is that tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northwest Army did not receive their military pay in time, and their families suffered from hunger and cold. In your eyes, do you not care so much about their life and death? "

Sun Qing's face turned red after being refuted, and he could no longer say anything to argue.

King Huainan frowned and looked at Fang Qingzhuo: "Then according to General Fang's wishes, who is the most qualified to be the Minister of War?"

Fang Qingzhuo spoke calmly: "The general has no specific candidate. The general only hopes that the new Minister of War can really do things for the army and share the worries of the court!"

King Huainan couldn't help but raised his head and laughed: "How can there be such an upright person in this world? General Fang, no one is perfect. You shouldn't understand such a simple truth, right?"

King An, who had been sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly spoke: "I think of a person. If he is made Minister of the Ministry of War, everyone will be extremely satisfied!"

Everyone frowned and looked at him, only to see him slowly say: "Old General Fang!"

King Huainan refused without hesitation: "No, he is too old. He almost died of illness before, so how can he take on such an important position?"

He paused and then said: "Besides, the Northwest Army is the old department of General Fang, so there is suspicion of partiality!"

King An frowned and glared at him: "King Huainan, you just interrupted before I finished speaking. Why are you so anxious?"

King Huainan's face darkened, and he quickly stood up and bowed his back to apologize: "Your Highness, please don't blame me. I don't mean to offend you. I just thought that the military affairs of the Ministry of War were heavy, and I'm afraid that General Fang's body won't be able to hold on at all!"

Prince An was dissatisfied and interrupted: "It's not you who have the final say about his health, but the imperial doctor's decision. Also, you said he will be partial. Everyone can be partial, but he won't, because almost everyone in the court will be partial. All armies have been trained by his hands to become elite divisions!"

This sentence immediately rendered King Huainan speechless. He had forgotten that the prototype of the Huainan Army was also trained by Old General Fang.

However, it has now been completely tamed by him and turned into his own private army.

Not allowing him to say anything else, King An had already spoken: "Come here, please invite Imperial Physician Feng and Old General Fang to come to court!"

Not long after, I saw the energetic General Fang walking up to the main hall quickly. He said angrily: "Veteran general pays homage to His Highness Prince An!"

King An quickly said: "Old General, please get up quickly. I have invited you here today to ask Dr. Feng to diagnose your pulse and see how you are doing!"

Old General Fang was a little confused. Why did he have to come to the court to diagnose his pulse?

Where did this song come from?

Everyone was silent with their own thoughts, and he couldn't say anything more, so he could only wait patiently.

Imperial Physician Feng came over carrying a medicine box, and with a solemn expression he checked Old General Fang's pulse.

A moment later, I heard the King of Huainan say coldly: "Mr. Feng, this is a serious matter, so you must be careful and cautious!"

Doctor Feng frowned and said, "If the prince doesn't believe me, you can ask a few more doctors to come over and diagnose your pulse at the same time. However, don't question my medical skills!"

King Huainan was so embarrassed that he had to shut his mouth.

After waiting for some tea, Doctor Feng slowly spoke: "Old General Fang's old illness has been cured and he is getting stronger. It must be a long-term recuperation of his body, right?"

Old General Fang raised his chin happily: "Of course, my granddaughter is filial and cooks medicinal food for me every day. Didn't I just come back from practicing Kung Fu and go to the battlefield again? There will still be no problem!"

Doctor Feng thought to himself, just show off that you have a good granddaughter with superb medical skills.

He turned his head and saluted respectfully to King An: "Reporting to Your Highness, Old General Fang's pulse is strong and powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that spring comes out of dead wood. I dare to say that if you ask him to lead troops to fight now, he will still be able to do it with ease!"
