Chu Chen's tone was faint: "What do you mean is that Daxia has hit the door, and we still have to whisper to ask for peace?"

The old minister who spoke was slightly stunned and lowered his head and said, "If you can seek peace, it will naturally be better than being trapped in war."

As soon as the words came, the senior and powerful officials almost nodded and agreed. It was obvious that they all had the same idea.

No one likes war, as war will cause panic among the country.

Besides, if you lose the battle...

"Daxia took the initiative to provoke war, and there was no reason to raise troops. It was obviously a wolf's ambition. If we seek peace, we would hit their minds. They would only feel that Ling's country is weak and can be bullied, but the lion spoke loudly." The young ministers obviously had different opinions. "I think that Ling's army is strong and there is no need to be afraid of the provocation of any country."

As the words came to an end, the young ministers showed approval.

Most of the old ministers disagreed and angrily rebuked: "Speak lightly, have you ever thought about the consequences of the war? Lingguo is now strong, but once the war rises, it will not end overnight! In addition to a strong army, it also requires a general who is strategizing and a steady supply of food and grass. This is also a considerable pressure for the national treasury."

Of course, the most important thing is who is going to the border.

At present, many generals can be taken advantage of by Lingguo. Nan Mohao can do it, Chu Chen can do it, and the newly-appointed princess before Her Majesty the Empress abdicated.

but!

Nan Mohao and Chu Chen could not leave the regents in their hands and go to the border at this critical moment.

And Chu Ning, not to mention that her child is only a few months old, even if she has the strength to do so... the ministers are not willing to watch a female general make another military contribution.

And Chu Chen knew about the ministers' insistence on this point?

But this didn't matter, and he had no intention of letting Chu Ning go to the battlefield.

"Don't argue with this question if it's a war or a question." Chu Chen's tone was faint, but it was tough and unquestionable. "I and the Regent have made a decision. We agree on this issue - since Daxia takes the initiative to provoke, Lingguo will naturally accompany him to the end."

With a slightly pause, he continued: "You can recommend a brave and good warrior general. If you can defeat Daxia this time, you will definitely receive a reward."

After the words came to an end, the ministers couldn't help but feel silent.

The old ministers wanted to say more, but Chu Chen and Nan Mohao were both firm in their attitudes - both were from military generals and were not afraid of war. This time, they tried to convince them to make peace with Daxia on their own initiative. It was obviously unlikely.

The ministers made a conspiracy in their hearts and discussed it enthusiastically. Finally, several old ministers unanimously recommended Xiang Shangshu's son Xiang Nan, and spared no effort to appreciate his literary and military strategies.

"Xiang Nan?" Chu Chen frowned, and heard the name familiar, "It's the one who was impeached and divorced after marrying his wife? This person is wrong and cannot handle family affairs well. Can you expect him to defend his country?"

Xiang Shangshu's face changed. He was about to speak, but Nan Mohao said coldly: "My family affairs have nothing to do with national affairs. If Mr. Xiang really has the ability to lead troops, I don't mind letting him lead troops."

Chu Chen turned his head, his tone was also cold and stern: "I think people with misconduct are not suitable for generals."

As soon as the words came, the court officials were all shocked.

The atmosphere in the hall became tense in an instant.
