You can't blame Liu Ruyan for not being able to hear the name Ren Xiaonian.

The Right Qianniu Guard is a relatively special existence in the Tang Dynasty military system.

Li Ze was his first general.

Liu Ruyan is the second one.

Li Mi is the third one.

Chen Changping now replaces Li Mi as the fourth general.

Among these four, Liu Ruyan has the longest term in office, and she has devoted countless efforts. Whether she led this army to Wuyi from Chang'an to work hard, or later devoted herself to polishing it, this army actually brought together elite figures in the entire army.

However, these outstanding soldiers took the risk of going deep into the opponent's trap because of Ren Xiaonian's thoughts. More than 10,000 soldiers hated the battlefield in Xiangtan Zhuzhou. This was the biggest loss that the Tang army had suffered on the battlefield so far.

The loss is still a unit with an extremely special status.

If it weren't for political reasons, I believe Ren Xiaonian could have been cut off a hundred times in his head.

Even though it has been two years since the incident, Liu Ruyan will feel resentful whenever she mentions this matter.

Now, Ge Cai said that he wanted to forgive Ren Xiaonian, and Liu Ruyan couldn't help feeling unhappy.

"No!" Liu Ruyan flatly refused.

Li Ze did not have the fierce attitude of Liu Ruyan, but asked Ge Cai gently: "Pang'er, did you suddenly remember to talk about this?"

Ge Cai said: "Sometimes ago, I went to General Hou Fangyu's house to thank him. Where did I meet Ren Xiaonian? He also went for this matter. What an energetic general in the past, but now he lives a life of no one, no ghost, and his hair is half white. Looking at it, it's indeed a bit pitiful."

"If he is pitiful, what about the soldiers who died because of him!" Liu Ruyan said coldly: "Liu Yuan must have disagreed."

As soon as he said that, Liu Ruyan regretted not mentioning Liu Yuan's name.

Ge Cai did not have any worries, but said, "Empress, Liu Yuan's death is indeed related to Ren Xiaonian, but the final decision was made by him. If he wanted to leave, he could leave. Besides, Liu Yuan and I have been fighting under Ren Xiaonian for many years. I know that this person is a good general, a good boss, and a good friend, except for his fame and fortune, he is really a good general, a good boss, and a good friend. The country is now at the moment of hiring people, so why don't Your Majesty give him a chance?"

"The Tang Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of horses, and there are countless excellent generals. Where is the only one he is missing?" Liu Ruyan glanced at Ge Cai and said dissatisfiedly.

Ge Cai smiled slightly and said, "Empress, there are indeed many excellent generals, but now there are not many people who meet His Majesty's current requirements."

Cao Zhang, who had not spoken for a long time, coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, can I give you some advice?"

"Of course." Li Ze became a little strange. Cao Zhang had always been unwilling to speak on these trivial matters, but he actually spoke today. Anyone who wanted to invite Cao Zhang to talk about favors was basically impossible. Even his wife Li Mi also rested and shook some of the obsessions in this person's heart.

Many times, Cao Zhang would rather be beaten than compromise.

As a result, many people in Chang'an City have become accustomed to seeing Cao Zhang's frequent bruises and swollen nose. The lack of husband's affair is a major topic for many big families in Chang'an City to mock the Cao family. Of course, these words can only be said in the secret room, because Cao Zhang does not care about these things, which does not mean that Li Mi does not care about them, nor does it mean that the Cao family does not care about them.

Li Mi is a typical example. I can beat you, you can’t talk or laugh, otherwise I will beat you together.

Clearing his throat, Cao Zhang said, "Your Majesty, since Ren Xiaonian's problems in this matter cannot be made public, the punishment for him is reasonable but unreasonable."

"Is he punished there? He is still the General of the Central Army and is still in office in the Ministry of War!" Liu Ruyan's face was as cold as frost.

"Empress, killing people is just a matter of placing the ground!" Cao Zhang was a little dissatisfied: "Who doesn't know about Ren Xiaonian's current situation? Besides, killing people is nothing more than killing their hearts. In my opinion, Ren Xiaonian in the past has died."

Liu Ruyan is naturally clear about Ren Xiaonian's current situation. Many people who know Liu Ruyan's worries often report to her about Ren Xiaonian's current situation.

When Cao Zhang said this, Liu Ruyan had nothing to say. She snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Cao Zhang turned to look at Li Ze: "Your Majesty, although I don't understand military affairs, I also know that when we appoint a senior general, is his personality factor one of the areas that needs to be considered?"

"Yes!" Li Ze nodded: "Generally speaking, the general's personal character will also affect his generals, and may even form a style that is consistent with the troops."

"So, when Ren Xiaonian was promoted, even when he ordered Ren Xiaonian to preside over the war in Xiangtan Zhuzhou, Yousi did not think of these problems. Speaking of which, did Ren Xiaonian's boss also have problems? Oh!" As soon as Cao Zhang said this, Li Mi pinched him hard.

The General Qianniu Guard at that time was Li Mi, Ren Xiaonian's immediate boss.

"What do you do if you pinch me?" Cao Zhang glared.

Li Mi turned his head away.

In front of Li Ze, she was always hard to take action.

Li Ze looked at Cao Zhang and offended two powerful women in a blink of an eye. He couldn't help laughing. This guy's ability to offend people is indeed first-class, regardless of closeness or alienation.

"So, do you think you can forgive Ren Xiaonian?" he asked with a smile.

"Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a pardon. Because the Yousi never asked Ren Xiaonian about this matter. Your Majesty, don't forget that the main theme of the court's propaganda was that the Right Qianniu Guard was willing to sacrifice himself as the bait to lure the enemy for the sake of victory in the overall situation of the war." Cao Zhang said: "Since that's the case, why did Ren Xiaonian, who fought to the last moment on the battlefield, receive such treatment? People who know the inside story will not be surprised, but what about ordinary people? Will they think it is unfair?"

Li Ze couldn't help but feel silent.

"And the current approach of the Ministry of War is even more dissatisfied. Ren Xiaonian is also a senior official in the Ministry of War. Not only does he have his own general, but he doesn't even have a table. This person goes to the Ministry of War every day to be ridiculed. I think it's not only him who laughs at him, but also the court, right?" Cao Zhang said with a spread his hands.

"I really haven't thought about this problem!" Facing Cao Zhang's aggressiveness, Li Ze smiled helplessly.

"This person either changes his position or finds another excuse to ask for a crime. It is absolutely impossible to quit like this." Cao Zhang said. "I think Ge Cai makes sense. Since the court urgently needs people, he can't find a more suitable candidate than Ren Xiaonian for a while. Why not let him do this?"

"Li Mi, what do you think?" Li Ze asked. "Li Hao went out to sea this time, but he went thousands of miles away. We don't mention the navy. We cannot have opponents on the sea now, but on land, we are a typical guest army. We are not familiar with the place and need the commanding generals to have considerable abilities to be competent. Once something happens, there is no Shi Zhuang to turn the tide."

"Your Majesty, Ren Xiaonian's military experience and command ability are nothing to say. In the past two years, I think his temperament has been almost done. He should not make old problems again." Li Mi said carefully: "This time Li Hao went to sea, with a total of five or six thousand land divisions. Although he was known as the Volunteer Army, he actually belonged to my Tang army. He needed a person of the corresponding level to command to convince the public. You also know that among these recruited Volunteer Army, all of them have some guys whose abilities and tempers are proportional. Ren Xiaonian's achievements in the past were outstanding, and he grew from a small soldier to a general of the Central Army, which could still convince these people."

"Ren Xiaonian is quite stubborn. In his current situation, he could not go to the Ministry of War, but he would rather go every day." Li Ze said.

"Is he demonstrating for us?" Liu Ruyan said dissatisfiedly.

"But it can also be said that he was willing to be scolded every day because of his repentance, so as to forgive his crimes!" Cao Zhang retorted: "And this person has practical practice in repentance. In the past two years, his central governor's salary has not been used for a penny. After receiving it, he directly transferred to the Charity Association. No one told you about these things, right? Humph, some people are just concerned about pleasing you, picking up what you like to hear, saying that they are really villains."

Liu Ruyan immediately glared at Cao Zhang again.

"Will Li Hao want him?" Li Ze asked.

"Ren Xiaonian was originally dug from Zuo Xiaowei." Li Mi said: "The two are old superiors and subordinates, and Li Hao is also very kind to support Ren Xiaonian. When Ren Xiaonian had this incident, Li Hao had no face, so he was happy to get Ren Xiaonian away. Moreover, after going to sea, Li Hao could effectively pinch Ren Xiaonian, and in terms of ability, Li Hao could also trust this person. Your Majesty, Li Hao has been dragging him down and not deciding the final candidate, maybe he was waiting for Ren Xiaonian. It was just that he was not good to propose it himself."

Li Ze nodded, knowing that Li Hao was jealous of Liu Ruyan's attitude and did not dare to raise it personally.

"Then, let's settle this matter!" Li Ze said: "I actually received a secret letter from Jose who pleaded for Ren Xiaonian yesterday. Jose also has to give face. In this way, Fat, do you go and talk about this matter with Ren Xiaonian?"

"Ah?" Ge Cai was a little surprised.

Li Mi smiled and patted Ge Cai: "Pang'er, Your Majesty is taking care of you! After Ren Xiaonian goes to sea, he will be a big boss. He has already felt guilty about you. This time you pulled him out of the quagmire again. After keeping this guy rich, he will deliver things to your house like a boat, and you will get rich!"

"Didn't those places be wilderness?" Ge Cai said inexplicably.

Cao Zhang sneered: "Now the local laws of the Tang Dynasty have been gradually perfected. It is unlikely that they will make a fortune suddenly. However, these barbaric lands in our mouths are good places to make money. Otherwise, why wouldn't the court pay these volunteers? They know that they can make a fortune after they go out."

"You guys always can't spit out ivory from your mouth. Good things always change when they come to your mouth!" Li Ze smiled and scolded Cao Zhang.

"Just discuss the matter!" Cao Zhang said seriously. "Oh!"

Obviously, he was pinched by Li Mi again.

Except for Cao Zhang himself, everyone present burst into laughter.

"You are so lucky!" Xia He smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth.
