American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Zhang Deliang had anticipated the outcome before he even arrived.

However, faced with such a rare opportunity, how could he hesitate for even a moment because of personal pride?

Just as his mentor in his youth had said, this country needs everyone, except an emperor. The emperor can be a wealthy idler, someone who yearns for the Dao of longevity, but definitely not a ruler who is greedy for power and attempts to make his words law. Once the emperor becomes someone whose words are golden decrees, then he will no longer hear anyone's opinions, and the empire will no longer be the empire of the people, and the common people will no longer be the subjects of the court.

In fact, for countless years, Confucianism has been quietly developing, passed down through generations, attempting to transform this country into the best place in their ideals.

He was not unaware that the Great Qi Empire was currently facing internal and external troubles, and the entire country was on the verge of collapse, but even so, Zhang Deliang still believed that the emperor's interference in state affairs was the biggest hidden danger for the country.

Even if he temporarily adopted a hands-off approach, he still had the right to reclaim the throne at any time.

This was what he could not accept the most.

It was also what he felt most helpless about. As a member of the royal family, as the emperor of the entire Great Qi Empire, he was inherently the most noble person. In the Confucian ideals, the emperor was also supreme, but definitely not comparable to a sage.

In Zhang Deliang's view, the reason why Emperor Qishan could sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai was because he held the Flying Tiger Army in his hands.

As a Grand Minister of the Military, he had devoted himself to studying military strategy for decades and deeply understood the combat potential and combat capabilities of the Flying Tiger Army.

Even if the empire's nine border armies were brought back and fought the Flying Tiger Army face-to-face, the outcome would still be unknown.

He had always suspected that the Flying Tiger Army was the trump card hidden by the royal family, and it was precisely because of this trump card that the royal family possessed extraordinary confidence.

It was also because of this that the country had been unable to achieve its most perfect state.

The imperial family is like iron, while the cabinet is like flowing water. The imperial family must become a mascot-like existence. They represent the country and the imperial power, but they cannot represent the rights. This is the most perfect structure that Zhang Deliang envisioned.

If Qishan knew what he was thinking, he might not be able to help but give him a thumbs up and reveal a surprised expression.

To be able to think of restricting imperial power and allowing the entire social structure to stabilize again, evolving from a feudal autocratic system to a constitutional monarchy, it must be said that such a polity is an ascension.

However, even if Qishan didn't know what he was planning, it didn't prevent him from handing over the Flying Tiger Army to the other party.

So, after Zhang Deliang finished speaking, Qishan just quietly looked at him for a while, and then said expressionlessly: "Minister Zhang is right, but the Flying Tiger Army is different from ordinary troops. They are all elite soldiers trained by special methods, and their combat methods are completely different from ordinary troops.

Zhang Deliang was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise. This old minister is not unaware of the special nature of the Flying Tiger Army. Since I dare to ask Your Majesty for it today, I must have a certain command and control over it.

This minister, as the Grand Minister of the Military, knows the generals in the court very well. Since Your Majesty has doubts about this, this old minister will then list the names for Your Majesty to personally select a general.

It's just that the current war situation is urgent, and the situation in the south changes three times a day. Seeing that the land of granaries is about to become a mess, and the country loses its food, the entire Great Qi will be in chaos. Therefore, please Your Majesty first grant the tiger tally, and wait for the Flying Tiger Army to complete its assembly and mobilization.

I believe that the leader of everyone has already been selected by then, and they can set off directly to support Prince Zhennan at the fastest speed!"

Qishan couldn't help but think a little when he heard this. It seemed that the previous owner of this body was really not shrewd, which led the ministers to treat him as a fool. How dare they make such a suggestion? What else is this if not empty-handed tricks?

Once the tiger tally is taken away, whether there is a suitable general or not, the other party will transfer the troops out. The capital is empty, and the royal family has lost its last protection. Wouldn't it be up to these ministers to knead and flatten it as they please?

Perhaps the guards and servants in the palace have already been infiltrated by these grand secretaries.

Qishan shook his head: "There is no need for so much trouble. The importance of the Flying Tiger Army is extraordinary. I don't trust other people, I only trust Grand Secretary. Why not let Grand Secretary lead the team in this special support operation?"

Zhang Deliang was slightly stunned. Qishan asked expressionlessly: "Why, is Grand Secretary unwilling?"

"No, I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect Your Majesty to think so highly of this humble minister."

Zhang Deliang quickly judged the current situation, compared the advantages and disadvantages, and quickly made a decision. He cupped his hands and said righteously: "Since Your Majesty treats this humble minister with national affairs, this humble minister will surely repay you with the spirit of a national scholar. This time, this old minister will be solely responsible for the support operation.

If I don't quell the rebellion in the south, don't rescue Prince Zhennan from his predicament, and don't beat the barbarians until they dare not invade for 50 years.

This old minister will have no face to see Your Majesty!"

After saying that, Zhang Deliang kowtowed to the ground.

This was the first time this old boy had performed such a grand ceremony since he came in, but Qishan was expressionless, because he knew that this was because the tiger tally was about to be delivered to his hands.

Qishan is not a fool either. How could he hand over the royal family's last strength to others? However, the reason why he easily agreed to the other party was also because he had his own plans.

He gently lowered his palm, and a section of purple wood suddenly emerged from his palm. As the energy continued to fluctuate, half of the purple tiger tally gradually revealed its shape.

"Okay, I hope Aiqing remembers today's words. Take it!"

Qishan flicked his hand and handed the purple tiger tally to Li Da Ban.

Li Da Ban hurriedly took it, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, holding the tiger tally in both hands, and walked in small steps to Grand Secretary Zhang, and respectfully handed it over.

Zhang Deliang took it in one hand, observed it repeatedly, and carefully put it in his arms.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The military situation is urgent, this humble minister will not stay here any longer. This humble minister takes his leave!"
