The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

But it still couldn't contain his heartfelt joy!

After ascending the throne for several years, he worked day and night and was diligent in government affairs. In just a few years, his hair turned white before he was forty years old.

But he always lived cautiously and had no sense of security at all, because he had no military power and the emperor still had influence on the Daqian court.

Although the court ministers respected him as the emperor, when it came to important decisions, they would still pay attention to the attitude of the Daming Palace.

Now, my father has sent out such a clear political signal.

Then, in the next period of time, his administration in the court will surely go smoothly.

At least, this was the case before the rebels in Yangzhou were wiped out.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xinglong didn't know whether he should be grateful or hate the bandits in Yangzhou called Qingfengzhai.

After collecting his thoughts, Emperor Xinglong looked back at the ministers in the court, taking in their usual expressions one by one.

He sneered in his heart, but asked with a warm smile on his face,

"My dear ministers, what are your thoughts on the Yangzhou bandit suppression?"

What do you think? The nobles were speechless.

The emperor has already issued the decree, what else can they do?

Liu Weitong, the current deputy minister, rolled his eyes, quickly stood up and clasped his fists towards Emperor Xinglong.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Yangzhou is a city that is directly connected to the salt tax revenue from the Huai River and Yangtze River regions. If there is unrest, the entire country will be in turmoil. Furthermore, the imperial court must also be on guard against the Tartars in the north. We must dispatch troops as quickly as possible to suppress the bandits and restore peace to the people of Yangzhou!"

Emperor Xinglong and many of his court officials secretly rolled their eyes.

But Emperor Xinglong still looked at Liu Weitong with interest and nodded approvingly.

Then his eyes fell on the Prime Minister Fang Congzhe in front of Liu Weitong, and he asked with a smile,

"Lord Fang, what do you think?"

Fang Congzhe's heart trembled, and he felt a chill on his back when he heard Emperor Xinglong's gentle laughter.

The last time he faced the bandit problem in Yangzhou, he had already displeased Emperor Xinglong.

Now the emperor has personally issued an edict, giving up military power to allow His Majesty to suppress the bandits, and a series of signals have been sent out.

How could Fang Congzhe, who has a keen political sense, not understand the deep meaning of this?

He kowtowed respectfully and said,

"I second Elder Liu's opinion! We must quickly and decisively eliminate the bandits, clear up the world as soon as possible, and restore peace to the people of Yangzhou!"

All the nobles and officials knew that after the emperor issued the order, it was a foregone conclusion that troops would be sent to Yangzhou to suppress the bandits.

Now it’s time to consider the candidate for the General of Jinling!

He is the general of the secondary capital Nanjing. Once this bandit suppression is completed, it will definitely be a great achievement!

As a result, many nobles began to have a glimmer of interest in their eyes.

However, Emperor Xinglong's mouth corners slightly turned up.

He patted the armrest of the dragon throne and stood up.

"Alright! In that case, the Cabinet will immediately follow the Emperor's order and send a letter to the Ministry of War, summoning General Huang Tiren of Nanjing back to the capital to report on his duties!"

"At the same time, Wang Ziteng was ordered to follow the imperial decree and go to Nanjing to serve as the general, with full authority over the suppression of bandits!"

Fang Congzhe and Liu Weitong were slightly stunned, but soon figured it out.

After all, the former emperor has already returned the power of the Jinling Imperial Guard to Your Majesty, so Your Majesty can naturally decide who to appoint as the commander-in-chief.

Moreover, the emperor did not appoint those generals from humble backgrounds, but instead appointed Wang Ziteng, who was from the same lineage as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

This person is acceptable to all parties in terms of qualifications and family background.

They all kowtowed and accepted the order.

"I will obey your orders!"

After hearing Emperor Xinglong's decree, many nobles felt aggrieved.

Why didn't His Majesty follow the routine? They hadn't even started chasing, and such a powerful general had already hit Wang Ziteng's head?

But there was the order of the retired emperor first, and Emperor Xinglong took advantage of the situation and borrowed the name of the retired emperor to cut the Gordian knot, leaving them no chance to fight for it.
