Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 160 Am I a general?
Many officials lowered their heads.

"Your Majesty, I disagree." At this time, Chen Kang, the minister of household affairs, stood up and said.

"Why doesn't Chen Aiqing agree? Do you think that I can't even know how to make good use of people?" Wu Zetian's tone gradually became colder and she said.

Chen Kang knelt down quickly and said in panic: "I don't dare. I'm just worried that your Majesty will be biased against Yang Yanzhang and let him lead the troops to suppress the rebellion. What if something goes wrong then?"

"Yang Yanzhang is still young and has no experience. It's okay to accumulate more experience." Wu Zetian said dissatisfied.

Now it's Chen Kang's turn to be unhappy. This is an important matter for the family and the country, and he still needs to gain experience. Do you think this is just a child's play house?

But naturally he didn't dare to say these words, he could only think about them in his heart.

Chen Kang spoke again: "I believe that the Queen Mother should dispatch capable officials from various provinces to form the post of commander-in-chief of the rebellion army, instead of handing it over to a young boy."

"Chen Aiqing, your proposal is very good. Not only this palace thinks so, but also many important officials in the court. But I have already decided on this quota. Except for Yang Yanzhang, no one else will get this quota anyway. You still There is no need to waste your efforts." Wu Zetian said.

Chen Kang was speechless when he heard this.

The whole person was extremely embarrassed, so she could only hold up her hands and said: "The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother is really quick-tongued and admirable."

Wu Zetian continued: "As for other matters, you can execute them according to the original plan without reporting to me."

"Where is Yang Qing's family?"

At this time, Yang Yanzhang was taking a nap in a corner. Suddenly he heard his name, wiped his saliva and walked out.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I am here!" Yang Yanzhang said respectfully.

"I have just decided to assign you the responsibility of the commander of the rebel army. From today on, you will be the commander of the rebel army."

Yang Yanzhang was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he just took a nap and turned into the leader of a crusade.

It sounds like a good story for a man to fight on the battlefield, but Yang Yanzhang, who had witnessed the battle when the Japanese pirates landed in Yangzhou, knew that he was going to die.

Immediately, he trembled all over, and quickly raised his hands and said, "Wei Chen has thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness, but Wei Chen happened to have a cold wind today, and it is really beyond my ability to ask me to be the leader of the crusade."

"Oh? Are you sick?"

"Weichen was drunk last night, so he is not feeling well. Please forgive me, Queen Mother!" Yang Yanzhang said bitterly.

Wu Zetian frowned when he heard this and said: "Since you are sick, take good care of yourself. Your authority will still be retained. After you recover, I will arrange your specific work."

Yang Yanzhang felt that Wu Zetian was a little displeased, but he could not refuse this displeasure at all, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree: "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother, I will obey the order."

Yang Yanzhang retreated, feeling relieved in his heart.Although this ending is a bit embarrassing, it is better than dying.

When Chen Kang saw this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.Yang Yanzhang actually refused. It seemed like a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.

"Your Majesty, do you think Yang Yanzhang is qualified to be the leader of the rebel army? It depends on whether he can fight against the alien invasion?" A civil servant asked.

"What do you think, my dear, it doesn't matter if you tell me!" Wu Zetian said.

"The old minister thinks that this rebel army is a royal forbidden army, under the direct control of your majesty. This Yang Yanzhang is just a yellow-haired boy, how can he be qualified to be the commander of the rebel army? Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that the commander of the rebel army should be replaced by A veteran minister with high moral character and high prestige, with both ability and political integrity." "Well, that makes sense, I'm ready to give it to you. But who is this candidate?"

"Your Majesty, I recommend Han Rui." An official came out and said.

Wu Zetian glanced at the official suspiciously. She had no idea who Han Rui was.

Before Wu Zetian could ask, the official who recommended Han Rui took the lead and said: "For the Queen Mother, Han Rui participated in the campaigns of Zhang Jun, Governor of Liangjiang, and Ma Shiying, Governor of Zhejiang, to pacify the Japanese pirates. He performed well in these two counter-insurgency wars. "

"I also recommended Han Rui to serve as the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army." Another official said immediately.

"I also agree!" Another official came out and said.

Then several other officials came forward to recommend Han Rui one after another, which made Wu Zetian even more puzzled.

However, she still said: "In that case, let Han Rui serve as the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army. However, I hope that the army can be prepared within three months, and at the same time, I also hope that he can live up to all my dear friends and me. expectations.”

After Han Rui came out of the queue, he prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness. I will live up to my command."

Wu Zetian glanced at Han Rui happily, waved her hand and said: "Okay, let's leave the court! Yang Yanzhang stays."

"Farewell to the Queen Mother!" the officials said respectfully.

When the court was over, Di Renjie looked at Yang Yanzhang with a complicated face. It seemed that Brother Yang was about to experience another test from the Queen Mother.

However, Di Renjie did not stop him. Instead, he secretly worried about Yang Yanzhang.

Because Yang Yanzhang is indeed too young and has an impatient temper, he is not suitable for taking on such an important position. It is best to find an older veteran to take over the position of commander.It's a pity that Yang Yanzhang was not lucky enough to be chosen by the Queen Mother. I can only hope that he will try not to make mistakes.

Yang Yanzhang followed Wu Zetian out of the Jinluan Palace. He lowered his head all the way, showing a look of fear, as if he did not dare to look at Wu Zetian.

"Okay, there are no outsiders now, who are you going to show off by pretending like this?" Wu Zetian looked at the timid Yang Yanzhang and said impatiently.

Yang Yanzhang was startled, raised his head and looked at Wu Zetian and said: "Queen Mother, you..."

"The Ai family knows that you have complaints in your heart, but there is a saying that a tree that is as beautiful as the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Wu Zetian said calmly.

"The Queen Mother clearly knows that I am loyal to the Queen Mother." Yang Yanzhang said quickly.

Wu Zetian shook his head and said: "This world has always been dominated by the weak. If you want to live, you must become stronger. Don't try to fight against the strong, because that will harm yourself. Your current strength is far greater than Not up to the standards of the strong.”

"So you have to remember that you don't need to be too smart, you just need to know how to assess the situation. Know how to endure, know how to surrender, and know how to go with the flow. If you can't do it, then don't blame others."

"The minister has been taught!"

"Okay, let's go rest."

"I retire!"

Not long after Han Rui returned home, a servant called Wu You and asked to see him.

This surprised Han Rui a little. Why did this guy come here if he didn't just stay guarding the east city gate?Are you trying to cause trouble again?
