Take full responsibility!

As soon as he said this, the whole court was in an uproar.

This is no longer a recommendation, but a pressure on his own net worth, if he is not confident enough, how dare he do such a thing? For a while, all the courtiers looked at each other, and no one dared to doubt whether Xu Youzhen had bad motives.

After all, there are many ways to trap enemies or opponents. But if you don't choose this kind of responsible statement, wouldn't you take the initiative to jump on the sunken ship and kill yourself?

Xu Youzhen's words made the ministers speechless, and they actually had a feeling of being speechless and not knowing what to say.

Zhu Qiyu, who saw all this in his eyes, was very happy in his heart. Regardless of whether Yang Chendong is suitable for leading the troops, at least someone has recommended a candidate, which is a good phenomenon. At that moment, he looked at Xu Youzhen with approving eyes and said: "Okay, Xu Aiqing is loyal to the country and his heart is commendable." But I just don't know how you can be sure that the loyal and courageous marquis can take on this heavy responsibility? ”

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen's courtiers are meticulous." After getting Yang Chendong's reply yesterday, he also got a lot of information from the Security Bureau, and after sorting it out, he also thought about the words for a long time, and now when it was time to perform, he talked about it in front of Daizong and the ministers.

From Xu Youzhen's mouth, everyone knew the whole story of Yang Chendong's rescue of Yingzong, Kuang Ye and Wang Zuo and other nine ministers. Only then did I know that the loyal Marquis did not rely on any luck, but a high-priced mercenary. They use the latest firearms, it is not difficult to fire continuously, and it is extremely accurate, it is by relying on this army of 100 people that they saved the lives of Yingzong and others in the chaos, and they were exceptionally named loyal and courageous.

After explaining the situation in detail, Xu Youzhen immediately knocked his head on the ground, and swore to Zhu Qizhen and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to vouch for his life and dozens of people in his family. ”

The voice was impassioned and powerful, and it reverberated throughout the palace hall.

Every word was passed into the ears of the emperor and the ministers, but no one was attached to it at this time, obviously everyone was digesting what Xu Youzhen said at this meeting and brought the information to everyone.

Zhu Qiyu also did not decide the matter immediately. Just based on the words of Xu Youzhen's family, it is not certain whether Yang Chendong really has such ability. This is the Battle of the Capital Division! If you don't get one, all his net worth and life will be smashed here, once the battle is lost, and the Jingshi is broken by the enemy, even if it is killed Yang Chendong and Xu Youzhen at that time, what is the use?

He needed to think about it, and he fell into deep thought. Jin Ying, who was extremely observant, saw that Zhu Qiyu was silent for a long time, so he reminded in a whisper on the side, "Your Majesty, can you retreat from the court first, and there is something to discuss in the court tomorrow morning?" ”

"Oh, let's retreat first." Zhu Qiyu nodded mechanically when he heard this. Immediately, the voice of the male duck sounded, "Retreat!" ”

......

Hu Mansion.

Yang Chendong has been sitting in the main hall, accompanied by the big housekeeper of the Hu Mansion with a smile, until Hu Hu and Hu Changning came back, and the three of them met each other.

"Everyone else, stand down." Hu Hu glanced at the housekeeper in the house and the tiger mang, who had been standing beside Yang Chendong like a javelin, and spoke.

The housekeeper retreated, and Hu Mang also retreated after getting Yang Chendong's eyes, and when there were only three people left in the room, Hu Hu took the initiative to speak: "Loyal to the Marquis, do you know that someone in the court recommended you to lead the army to fight Wara today?" ”

Hu Hui asked directly, his eyes were sharp, and he pointed to the bottom of Yang Chendong's heart. It is unimaginable that an elderly man in his seventies has a wealth of experience in life and is so pleasing. Such a look is not to say that he is looking at a young man who is not yet twenty years old, and even the old minister of the same dynasty is afraid that it will also make his heart flustered.

Even Hu Changning, who was sitting with him, felt a rush of pressure. But in this regard, Yang Chendong was not in a hurry, and his expression was even more indifferent. As if these words were not rushed at him. "Old Man Meng cares, Chendong is really guilty."

Calling Hu Hu an old man, this was not a common name at the time, and this kind of title also made Hu Hu's face stunned, and his originally sharp eyes and serious face seemed to have faded a lot at this moment.

The momentum on Hu Hu's body was no longer aggressive, Yang Chendong spread his hands and said sincerely, "Old man, my father-in-law has something to ask, and my son-in-law naturally doesn't dare to hide it, Xu Youzhen means what I mean." ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Chendong's answer made Hu Changning's face pale, and he didn't understand it. On the other hand, his father Hu Hu quickly figured out everything, with obvious surprise in his eyes, "Xu Youzhen is your person?" When did this happen, did he impeach you before..."

"I've been my since before I was impeached." Yang Chendong spoke extremely calmly, as if he was talking about something inconspicuous. There is no trace of pride, and it is a matter of pride to control a fourth-grade member of the court, but no matter how you look at it, he doesn't care at all, as if everything is justified.

"This..."Hu Changning understood it, and of course his face was shocked.

Hu Dan was also shocked by this sentence. But after all, he has been in the court for so many years, and he quickly figured out the key to reading, and he was shocked at the moment, but his face did not show it. Just looking at this qi cultivation work, I don't know how much stronger than my own son.

"I see, it seems that the old man is worrying too much. But you immediately arranged for Xu Youzhen to do this? But how sure are you? Hu Hu knew that Yang Chendong was playing a big game of chess, but he didn't know exactly what to do, but he knew that this grandson-in-law should be full of confidence.

"Don't dare to hide the old man, you have ten percent of it." He also admired Hu Hui's reflexes and judgment in his heart, and Yang Chendong replied respectfully.

"Ten percent?"

This answer also made Hu Hu startled, his eyes lit up, and it seemed that Yang Chendong was going to look at Yang Chendong again at this moment.

Since ancient times, in the event of war, no one dares to say that it is ten percent, even if they know that they will win, it is said that nine out of nine will reach the top. It's all because facts are impermanent and are constantly changing. Especially in the course of war, the time, the location, the people, etc., often a matter is not considered thoroughly, and if it is not taken into account, the overall situation may be changed, so who dares to say that it is 100% sure?

Yang Chendong is so determined, without the slightest impetuousness, it doesn't seem like he is talking about it at all, doesn't that mean that he really thought about it and prepared it early? But what is his dependence?

"I heard that you hired an army of 100 people, and those people had firearms that our Ming did not have, and it was only by them that you succeeded in rescuing Yingzong, is this true?" Hu Hu began to wonder where Yang Chendong's confidence came from, and what he asked was what Xu Youzhen said.

"It's true." Yang Chendong replied in a categorical tone. "I did hire an army, and they also have firearms that are many times more advanced than our Ming Dynasty, so they have no problem dealing with the Warat cavalry. It's just..."

"Just what?" Hu Changning, who was listening carefully, asked urgently.

"It's just that the cost of hiring them is too high, and every time a task is completed, one person needs a fee of 10,000 taels, and it is still based on one million. In other words, even if you just hire them to do things alone, it will cost millions of silver to ask for it, hey, it's really a waste of money. Yang Chendong shook his head as he spoke, indicating that he was overwhelmed.

"So much?" Hu Changning was also very frightened by this high cost. A hundred people need a fee of one million taels of silver, so doesn't that mean that the money that employs these hundred people can support an army of hundreds of thousands to stop at the frontier for a year?

"Yes, that's it, and I still can't negotiate the price, this is because I have done business with them and have some reputation, if I change to others, I am afraid that even if I pay for it, I will not be able to hire people." With his head lowered, Yang Chendong, who let out a long sigh, proved that he was also a little overwhelmed now.

admitting that Xu Youzhen is his own person is Yang Chendong's sincerity to the Hu family. Even if they are all relatives, it is not good to hide some things, but if they are known in the future, how will they meet?

But even if you are a relative, there are some things that you can say, and some things that you can't say. For example, the mercenaries were originally their own army, and they would completely obey their orders without spending any money at all, and Yang Chendong would not tell Hu Hu about such a thing. Not only that, but also pretend to be very difficult, only in this way will this old man speak for himself at a critical time.

It can also be said that Yang Chendong is willing to talk so much to Hu Hu, and he also wants to use his mouth to persuade Zhu Qiyu and let him know that only he has the strength to reverse the situation now. Only in this way can the other party come to him, and he can open his mouth no.

Yang Chendong has always done things one by one. Even a character like Hu Hu often uses it inadvertently, and when he reacts, he can often only cry and laugh.

At lunchtime, the atmosphere seemed to have returned to normal, but Hu Hu and Hu Changning were both preoccupied, but Yang Chendong had been sitting there with a modest smile, so that Hu Yan glared at him fiercely after seeing it, but then his eyes became extremely warm again.

Hu Yan didn't know what Yang Chendong said to her grandfather and father, but she was sure of one thing, that is, he would not harm his family.
