"Your Majesty, I am willing to sign a military order. I will not return until I am defeated during this expedition. I hope Your Majesty will approve it."

Shen Du's clear voice sounded again.

All the officials were stunned.

It's already this late, and there are still people who dare to issue a military order?

Isn’t Shen Du always cunning?

This time he actually took the initiative to bump into the blade?

Seeking death? !

Emperor Wen was delighted.

He didn't expect that Shen Du would step forward and take on this burden when all the officials were in favor.

Naturally, he had no objection to Shen Du's loyalty and ability.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have allowed him to do it so boldly in recent years.

However, he did not think that Shen Du could really defeat the northerners and recapture the northern border.

But he is the emperor!

How could the emperor be held hostage by officials?

Ask him to invite the regent back?

impossible.

Now that that ambitious man has arrived in Shangjing, what role does he have as the emperor?

Move the capital south?

That would be like putting your neck under the regent's knife and letting him chop it.

He didn't want to be such an emperor.

At least he had to struggle.

Since the ending is going to be a mess, let everything be destroyed before that.

Looking at the officials discussing the matter below, Emperor Wen slammed the table.

"Since Ningguo Hou has this confidence, why not let me help you? Today, I will appoint Ningguo Hou Shen Du as the Marshal of Pingbei and lead an army of 100,000 to the northern border!"

As soon as Emperor Wen finished speaking, all the officials beat their chests and stamped their feet again!

"Your Majesty, you must not do this! Ningguo Marquis is so powerful that he cannot be a marshal!"

"Your Majesty, please withdraw your order!"

"His Majesty...."

Emperor Wen was so overwhelmed.

It was all because of the benevolent and righteous image he maintained on a daily basis that allowed all the officials to act so presumptuously!

"Your Majesty, I can go to war in three days, but I have three requests."

"Please tell me quickly, Mr. Shen."

Don't be afraid of requests.

The fact that he made the request shows that he had considered it seriously.

It is not a spur of the moment decision to lead troops into battle.

This actually made him look forward to Shen Du even more.

"First, I beg Your Majesty to allow me to select outstanding soldiers to form a new Weird Armor Army!"

When Emperor Wen first heard this, he frowned.

He is forming a strange armor army. Is this team his?

But the thought only flashed through my mind.

Given the current situation, it is unnecessary to think about these things.

He is the emperor, as long as he did not promise to give military power to Shen Du.

It can all be taken back afterwards.

If Shen Du lost, everyone would surely die.

Needless to say.

But if you win.

If Shen Du hands over the military token, wouldn't it be equivalent to him having his own strange armored army?

Does that regent dare to ignore him?

Thinking of this, he immediately agreed.

"That's right."

"I hereby grant you permission to form a new army, named Dragon Tiger Army!"

The regent is Gui, he is Longhu.

He just doesn't believe that he is stronger than him!

"What's your second request?"

Shen Du's expression remained unchanged, but his words were shocking.

"I would like to nominate a woman to be the general on the battlefield. I beg your majesty for your approval!"

Before Emperor Wen could even open his mouth, all the officials started shouting!

"What? A woman as a general? The Ningguo Marquis must be crazy!"

"Women are the root of trouble. Going to the battlefield will definitely bring misfortune!"

"For thousands of years, there has never been a precedent of women going to the battlefield. Ningguo Hou is really crazy!"

"Your Majesty, you cannot agree to such a request..."

Emperor Wen was also somewhat shocked.

But he knew that Shen Du was not a person who talked nonsense.

Over the past few years, his court has been able to maintain its current state entirely thanks to the efforts of Shen Du alone.

First the Queen's family, then the King of Yan...

His ability and determination make him have to be serious!

"Shen Aiqing, who is this woman you are talking about?"

"Your Majesty, a few months ago, I submitted a memorial. In the memorial, there was a person named Shan Ya. Your Majesty, do you still remember him?"

Emperor Wen nodded.

"Of course I remember. Lord Shen said this man was born with supernatural powers and was extremely brave, and could fight ten bandit leaders alone. He allowed me to promote him to the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department... Could he be a woman?"

Shen Du glanced at Xu Junyao who was standing among the officials.

"Your Majesty is wise. This person is indeed a woman. She married the Imperial Censor Xu last month."

All the officials' eyes immediately fell on Xu Junyao.

People from the Censorate would only come out and speak when impeaching officials.

They ignored it.

Xu Junyao stepped out, bowed and saluted.

"In reply to your Majesty, my wife is indeed named Shan Ya, the Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Department."

All the officials suddenly remembered.

There really is such a person.

It's just that everyone has always thought he was a man.

Suddenly, all the officials became active.

Isn’t Xu Junyao the third illegitimate son of the Xu family?

Shan Ya is actually his wife?

As the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Administration, Marquis Ningguo actually asked for her to be appointed as the general on the battlefield.

All officials once again turned their attention to the Minister of Personnel Xu Zhiyou.

Xu Zhiyou was also confused.

He had indeed heard that his daughter-in-law was quite capable.

But I didn't expect it to be true.

I originally thought that the words in the memorial were deliberately made up by Xu Junyao in order to marry her.

But Shen Du would not simply nominate a woman to be the general on the battlefield.

Unless she really has the ability.

Originally, he was one of the most cautious officials in his words and actions.

At this moment, all the officials were quarreling and cursing.

But he remained silent.

But maybe it can change now...

As his mind raced, thoughts turned one after another in his mind.

If Shan Ya really became a general on the battlefield, then his Xu family would have more than just civil servants.

You can also have a hand in the Ministry of War.

In the future, their family will be the one that will have a successful career among the civil and military officials in the capital!

If they really kill the northerners, the Xu family might even be granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister...

Thinking of this, he took a step forward and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law does have this ability. Please don't bury her in the harem just because she is a woman."

"In addition, I beg Your Majesty to allow my son Xu Junyao to accompany him to the battle. They have a deep love for each other and have been married for a long time!"

As soon as he said this, Shen Du and Xu Junyao looked at each other inconspicuously.

After they each took it back, there was a look of relief on their faces that showed that they had planned it all.

After hearing this, Emperor Wen was very happy.

Among all the officials who were overwhelmingly in favor of his decision, Xu Zhiyuan was the first to stand up and support his decision.

As soon as he patted the dragon case, he immediately issued an edict.

"Prelude!"

"Although Shan Ya is a woman, she has the ambition to serve her country. She is granted the title of general on the battlefield and is under the command of Marshal Pingbei."

"If she returns victorious, I will confer upon her the title of the number one female general in Dajing and reward her!"

"Xu Junyao is a man of noble character and great talent. Let him be the military supervisor and accompany the army to the battle!"

After saying this, Emperor Wen looked at Shen Du.

"Lord Shen, now you can tell me your last request!"

Shen Du knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for the National Protection Flying Stone to accompany me in the battle!"
