Longtai looked around and then said: "Marquis Zhongyi and Marquis Jinyi are not suitable to lead the Black Scale Camp. Do you have a better candidate?"
"Reporting to the emperor, today the emperor is going to rebuild the Black Scale Camp. I have never thought about this before." Sima Lan said: "But when the emperor mentioned the Black Scale Camp, the veteran immediately thought of the Black Knife Camp. The Black Scale Camp is not The selection and training of ordinary soldiers and horses are extremely strict, which is exactly the same as the Black Knife Battalion. Therefore, I believe that if the Black Scale Battalion is to be rebuilt, the Black Knife Battalion must help."
"Oh?" Longtai said: "You mean to let the Black Knife Camp help rebuild the Black Scale Camp?"
Sima Lan said: "Qu Yanzhi, the deputy commander of the Black Knife Camp, has many years of experience in the Black Knife Camp and is capable of taking charge of his own affairs. The veteran believes that there is probably no one in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty who is more suitable than Qu Yanzhi."
"What Marquis Zhongyi said is wrong." King Huainan said with a smile: "Rebuilding the Black Scale Camp is inherently unique. If the commander of the Black Blade Camp is allowed to command the Black Scale Camp, it would be better to expand the Black Blade Camp. Besides, the Black Blade Camp and the Although the Black Scale Camp has similarities, they are completely different in nature. If Qu Yanzhi arrives at the Black Scale Camp, he will just set up a new Black Sword Camp."
An official under Ximen Wuhen said: "Your Majesty, that's not what you said. Although the Black Scale Camp is quite different from the Black Blade Camp, if someone else is chosen to be the commander, it will only be even more unsuitable. After all, Qu Yanzhi has training skills Fang can still train an elite army."
Dou Kui smiled and said: "Mr. Wu, could it be that you don't know that back then, the Black Blade Camp and the Black Scale Camp were competing with each other, and no one would accept the other. Although it is not offensive, there is some resentment after all. Qu Yanzhi was born in the Black Blade Camp. Battalion, if he leads the Blackscale Battalion, I am afraid that it will not cheer up the morale of the army, but will cause a lot of trouble."
Qi Ning heard the argument between the two sides and sneered in his heart. He knew that the reconstruction of the Black Scale Battalion had become a target for these two forces. After all, the imperial court allocated money to train a force similar to the special forces. Everyone wanted to make him people to swallow this piece of fat.
Although the look in Longtai's eyes was a little cold, the little emperor was still very capable of controlling his emotions. With a calm expression on his face, he asked: "King Huainan, Qu Yanzhiruo is not suitable either. Do you have a better candidate?" ?”
"Back to the emperor, I thought of someone who might be able to give it a try." King Huainan said with a smile: "This person has been praised as a virtuous person and has come to the capital to wait for the emperor's summons."
"Recommend virtuous people?" Longtai said, "Is it the person recommended by Mr. Zhuo?"
King Huainan said: "Exactly. Mr. Zhuo once recommended three people to the late emperor. These three people are now the pillars of our great Chu. The person recommended by Mr. Zhuo this time is the fourth person recommended by Mr. Zhuo in so many years." Talented people. Mr. Zhuo is very strict in recommending talents. If you don’t have real talents and practical knowledge and can stand alone, Mr. Zhuo will not easily recommend them to the court."
Longtai nodded and said: "The late emperor often mentioned Mr. Zhuo to me. Mr. Zhuo was a literary craftsman of the generation and a great scholar in the world. Yes, where is this man now?"
"Back to the emperor, this person has followed me into the palace and is waiting outside." King Huainan said: "I originally thought that I would wait until the discussion is over before asking the emperor to summon him, but now that we are talking about the Black Scale Camp, I feel that the emperor can summon this person."
Qi Ning's brows were already slightly furrowed.
Of course he already understood at this time that the person the Huainan King was talking about should be Jiang Suiyun.
Jiang Suiyun was a disciple of Zhuo Qingyang of Qionglin Academy, and was recommended to the court by Zhuo Qingyang. Qining still remembered that he had a bet with Jiang Suiyun, but he did not expect that the King of Huainan would bring this man into the palace today.
Longtai thought for a while and asked someone to pass it into the imperial study. Not long after, he saw the eldest son Donghai Jiang entering the imperial study and came forward to pay his respects.
Most of the ministers present did not know Jiang Suiyun. They were all confused when they suddenly saw such a young and handsome young master. It was just the aura of wealth and elegant movements that Jiang Suiyun exuded. People can't help but feel a bit good about it.
"Caomin Donghai, Jiang Suiyun, pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor!" Jiang Suiyun bowed in front of the imperial desk. Long Tai had already said: "Stand flat, Jiang Suiyun, raise your head and let me have a look."
Jiang Suiyun stood up straight with a smile on his face. Although he was facing the Emperor of Chu and a group of important ministers, he still showed very calmness without any stage fright.
"Are you Mr. Zhuo's disciple?" Longtai asked, but Qining also felt that Longtai had a hint of admiration for Zhuo Qingyang.
Jiang Suiyun said respectfully: "Reporting to the Emperor, Mr. Zhuo traveled to the East China Sea, and the common people worshiped him as his disciples, and received many teachings from Mr. Zhuo."
Long Tai nodded slightly, turned to King Huainan, and asked: "King Huainan, do you want to recommend Jiang Suiyun to lead the Black Scale Camp?"
The King of Huainan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Suiyun is not only outstanding in literary talent, but also loves military literature. I have had several conversations with him. He is indeed knowledgeable and talented. He is worthy of being a disciple of Mr. Zhuo."
"Your Majesty, today's choice is to be the commander of the Black Scale Battalion. It is about choosing a suitable general. Jiang Suiyun may have outstanding literary talent, but I am afraid it will be greatly inappropriate for him to lead the Black Scale Battalion." Ximen Wuhen The next official couldn't help but said: "If he is to lead the Black Scale Battalion, he is far less suitable than Qu Yanzhi."
Longtai also smiled and said: "King Huainan, since Jiang Suiyun is a talent recommended by Mr. Zhuo, I will naturally reuse him. However, I also think he is not suitable for commanding the army."
The King of Huainan smiled and said: "The emperor and your lords may have been misunderstood by Jiang Suiyun's appearance. Although Jiang Suiyun looks gentle, he is actually both civil and military. The emperor does not know that Jiang Suiyun is the eldest son of the Jiang family in the East China Sea. The clan trades at sea. When Jiang Suiyun was sixteen years old, he went to sea. He was young and lost his way on the sea with a ship, and encountered pirates wandering on the sea." Xiang Jiang Suiyun said: "Please explain this matter to the Emperor carefully."
Jiang Suiyun still said respectfully: "When Cao Min was sixteen years old, he went to sea with the fleet. He heard that there was an isolated island on the sea with beautiful scenery, so he secretly left the fleet to look for the isolated island. There were twenty people on board. There were many sailors, but who knew that the isolated island was not found, but was lost at sea." Seeing that everyone was listening to him, he continued: "When the common people were looking for a path, they encountered a group of pirates. There are often sea pirates in the East China Sea. Bandits come out and rob passing ships. When they find traces of the grassroots, they want to rob the boats of the grassroots."
Qi Ning's face was expressionless. After what happened to Qionglin Academy, Qi Ning would just listen to the story of the eldest son of the East China Sea and would not believe it.
"The grassroots people fought with them on the sea, and finally survived, and captured all three ships of the pirates. There were more than thirty pirates in total. In addition to the ones killed, the remaining ten people were all taken away. Returned to the East China Sea and handed it over to the local government." Jiang Suiyun said calmly: "In hindsight, it was just because the common people loved military books and had a general knowledge of military affairs, plus good luck."
The King of Huainan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Suiyun was able to use military strategies at the age of sixteen and capture the gangsters in one fell swoop. It is really commendable. This man is both civil and military, and he is a disciple of Mr. Zhuo. I thought that if he were to serve as the commander of the Black Scale Battalion, , I will definitely be able to take charge alone and live up to the Emperor’s expectations.”
"Your Majesty, leading troops is different from suppressing bandits at sea." Master Wu said: "The Black Scale Battalion is the elite of the empire. Jiang Suiyun has no experience in leading troops, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
"Master Wu, the reconstruction of the Black Scale Battalion starts from scratch." King Huainan said solemnly: "Furthermore, Jiang Suiyun is proficient in the art of war and is both civil and military. During the training of the Black Scale Battalion, he will be able to do something outstanding if he practices it." Mr. Zhuo always has a keen eye when looking at people. I don’t believe in Jiang Suiyun, but Mr. Zhuo’s vision.”
Longtai frowned and said, "Marquis Zhongyi recommended Qu Yanzhi, and King Huainan recommended Jiang Suiyun. There is only one leader for this position, what should he do?" He looked at Ximen Wuhen and said, "Marquis Ximen, do you have any ideas?"
Ximen Wuhen did not say a word from beginning to end. At this time, he finally came out and raised his hands and said: "Reporting to the emperor, whether it is Qu Yanzhi, Jiang Suiyun, or Jin Yihou, they are all talents who can be of great use. I think that Black Scales After all, the battalion is still a matter of military service. If you want to lead the Blackscale Battalion, you must have extraordinary martial arts. Only in this way can the soldiers of the Blackscale Battalion be convinced." After a pause, he said: "I have the courage to speak up. Since there are three candidates, why don’t the Emperor let them compete to see who is more capable and who can assume the position of commanding the Black Scale Battalion? Everything will depend on ability.”
Marquis Zhongyi immediately said: "Your Majesty, what Ximen Shenhou said is not unreasonable. Since he is the commander of the troops, we can see who is more capable."
Many ministers present immediately thought that the suggestion of Lord Ximen was obviously in favor of Lord Zhongyi.
As we all know, the soldiers of the Black Knife Battalion are elite soldiers who are only one in a thousand. Not to mention the deputy commander of the Black Knife Battalion, who is an ordinary soldier, he is also a strong soldier who can fight against ten.
The commander of the Black Knife Battalion was one of the best among the generals of the dynasty, and the deputy commander Qu Yanzhi was not weak in martial arts, and he was a fierce general who had been trained in the rain of swords, guns, and swords.
On the other hand, Jiang Suiyun and Qi Ning, Jiang Suiyun is elegant and elegant, but seems to have no strength in his hands. He may really have outstanding literary talent. If he says how high his martial arts is, no one would believe it.
And Qi Ning only came to prominence after Qi Jing's death.
The Jinyi fool in Jinyihou Mansion has a reputation. Although his mind has now sobered up and he has begun to talk and act on the right track, if this young prince wants to compete with one of Qu Yan, he is afraid that his legs will become weak before he even goes into battle.
If the competition for the position of leader of the Black Scale Battalion was based on martial arts skills, Qu Yanzhi would almost be a sure winner.
Longtai looked at Qi Ning, with a hint of questioning in his eyes. Qi Ning smiled slightly and said: "I am still young and have no ability to lead the Black Scale Battalion, but my father's creed is to know even if he is defeated. If you really want to judge by martial arts, I can join in the fun." He looked at Jiang Suiyun and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, if I really have a chance to fight you, you have to ask your subordinates Show mercy.”
There were several people present who were secretly despised, thinking that before this started, you Jinyihou was already begging for mercy. As the saying goes, you can't be rich for more than three generations. It seems that after two generations of Jinyihou, the Qi family has reached this young master. Hands on, it's really going downhill.
