The already dreary tent was now so gloomy that it seemed like it could drip with gloom.
There was silence, a complete hush.
It wasn't that these generals of the Jin army were truly convinced by the Emperor's decree, but rather the sight of two still-warm corpses lying on the ground instilled in them a fear that silenced any dissenting voices.
After a brief pause, Huang Jitian glanced at the assembled generals and said in a flat tone, "Since no one objects, I'll take that as unanimous consent."
"Alright, starting now..."
Before the Emperor could finish his words, a general finally couldn't help but speak up: "Thirteenth Brother, please wait."
Finally, someone spoke up. Many generals heaved a collective sigh of relief in their hearts.
Then they all turned their hopeful eyes to the officer who had spoken.
Everyone knows this person, Guoerjia Ronglu, the leading figure among the middle generation of the inlaid yellow flag today.
The Jin dynasty's orthodox nobility was divided into eight banners according to tribal composition.
also known as the banner children.
Among all the Manchu clans, the one where Huangji Tian belonged, the royal lineage, has always been the strongest, known as the Zhenglan Banner.
And the inlaid yellow banner, as its name suggests, could be associated with yellow, proving they have always been part of the Yellow Banner.
The Gualja clan, as a prominent family within the Xiang Huangqi banner, vied for power with the Yehe Nara clan.
Interestingly, the Yehe Nara clan never produced an empress, but the Guarjia clan always seemed to produce favored concubines.
This generation is the same.
Gualjia Ronglu's paternal aunt is the most beloved concubine of the current Jin Emperor, and his father holds the position of Minister of Military Affairs in the Jin Kingdom, equivalent to the second-in-command of the Jin military.
Guargjia Ronglu himself commanded 30,000 elite cavalry, the most formidable mounted force in the Jin Kingdom.
Whether in terms of lineage or personal ability, Guarjia Ronglu was destined to have sufficient qualifications to speak at any occasion, and his words carried enough weight to be taken seriously.
When Gu'erjia Ronglu opened his mouth, Huangji Tian felt a disgust that was like swallowing a fly.
Everyone knows the identities of Guarjia Ronglu.
Apart from these identities, Guarjia Ronglu had one more extremely important identity: the future brother-in-law of the Jin Dynasty's Great Acolyte.
The emperor of Huangjitian, the father of A-ma, has already decided to betrothed the eldest son and sister of Gua'erjia Ronglu. Although this matter hasn't been officially announced, it's well known among the upper circles of the Jin nation, understood by all.
Even just considering that he is Guang's brother-in-law, one can easily guess where Guarjia Ronglu would stand.
"General Ronglu, any objections" Huangji Tian said coldly.
Guaerjia Ronglu remained expressionless as he bowed and said in a low voice, "The Thirteenth Brother's ambition is certainly a good thing, but after all, the Thirteenth Brother is too young, and there are no small matters on the battlefield. A single oversight could lead to hundreds or even thousands of our Jin country's brave sons dying in vain. This is also why His Majesty sent us here to assist the Thirteenth Brother. Therefore, the Thirteenth Brother can first refrain from vying for power. If this battle can be accomplished successfully, there will naturally be no shortage of fame for the Thirteenth Brother."
This is very straightforward.
War is not something that you young people can handle.
Still listen to us older generations.
Even if we win in the end, you won't miss out on your share of the rewards.
Just be a mascot.
Such a nonchalant attitude made the fire in Huangji Tian's heart instantly flare up.
He raised his head and looked at Guarjia Ronglu with a hostile expression, saying, "General Ronglu, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding between us."l the same, since you don't know this palace's plan, how can you tell what is hasty and childish"Li Chen now understands why emperors throughout history disliked officials.This group of officials, in...
