The king of the army was defeated, and the king of the army was defeated.

In the Chengde Palace, Cao Song suddenly stood up to refute, and the civil and military officials who were originally sighing and sighing suddenly shut up.

Although they did not have any bad feelings towards Li Xiang because Li Xiang was a descendant of Li Guang, on the contrary, they were somewhat relieved to see Li Guang's descendants appear in the court.

However, Cao Song suddenly stood up and opposed the appointment of Li Xiang as the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guard.

This made them speechless without hesitation.

Cao Song was the son of the Grand Chamberlain Cao Teng, and he himself was one of the Nine Ministers, so he could be said to be in a high position and had great power.

The Cao family was also a top family in the Han Dynasty!

They naturally would not offend the Cao family for Li Xiang, who had nothing to do with them.

Some officials seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Li Xiang with a strange look.

The hall was quiet for a while.

Cao Song objected, and Liu Hong on the dragon throne frowned a little.

Before, the queen recommended Li Xiang as the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards, but Zhang Rang objected, so he was still a little hesitant.

It is indeed because the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards is a special position.

Although Li Xiang has the merit of saving the emperor, it does not mean that he must be given this position, and he can also be given other rewards.

However, today, when he learned that the assassin was Wang Yue, it was because the previous Concubine Wang wanted to assassinate the queen and the eldest prince and let the second prince Liu Xie ascend the throne, Liu Hong was a little uneasy.

Liu Hong knew Wang Yue's martial arts.

What the Wang family did, the Wang family will definitely end badly in the future.

Wang Yue had served as a palace guard and was quite familiar with the palace. If Wang Yue ignored it, then he, Liu Hong, Queen He Lian, and even the eldest prince Liu Bian would probably become the target of Wang Yue's revenge.

Therefore, knowing that Li Xiang could resist or even injure Wang Yue, Liu Hong suddenly wanted Li Xiang to serve as the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards.

Liu Hong looked at Cao Song and frowned:

"The Minister of Agriculture opposes Li Xiang's appointment as the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards?"

Cao Song bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I oppose it, but because the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards has a heavy responsibility. Although Li Xiang is a descendant of Li Guang of the Longxi Li family, I'm afraid this will not convince the public!"

Cao Song didn't have much expression on his face, as if it was always like this.

The queen was angry and wanted to say something.

Li Xiang looked at Cao Song, but suddenly laughed and said:

"Your Majesty, I think the words of the Grand Minister of Agriculture are inappropriate, and I dare not agree with them!"

Li Xiang's voice made the civil and military officials in the hall commotion.

The Queen looked at Li Xiang in surprise.

What did Li Xiang say?

He thought Cao Song's words were inappropriate, and he dared not agree with them?

Cao Song just came to the front and said that it was inappropriate to appoint Li Xiang as the General of the Imperial Guards. Now, Li Xiang hit back at Cao Song's words.

Instantly, the gunpowder smell of tit-for-tat spread.

The civil and military officials were shocked by Li Xiang's boldness. You know, Cao Song was the Grand Minister of Agriculture, one of the Nine Ministers, and a veteran of several dynasties.

And Li Xiang was just a commoner.

How dare he speak to Cao Song like this?

Liu Hong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was slightly startled. Looking at Li Xiang, who was not afraid of Cao Song at all, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said with a smile:

"Oh, Li Xiang, do you think what the Minister of Agriculture said is inappropriate? What is wrong with it?"

"Humph, I want to know what is wrong with what I said!" Cao Song looked at Li Xiang coldly and snorted.

Li Xiang ignored Cao Song. Under everyone's gaze, he bowed to Liu Hong and said:

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Agriculture said that I cannot convince the officials and soldiers of the Imperial Guards if I am the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards. I dare not agree with this!"

"The Queen recommended me as the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards, which means that I am capable of serving as the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards. Moreover, I also believe that I am capable of serving as the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards. But why did the Minister of Agriculture not know my ability and martial arts, and made a rash conclusion that I am not capable and that what the Queen said is false?"

After Li Xiang finished speaking, the noise of the already agitated civil and military officials suddenly became louder.

Even Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Sikong Yuan Feng, Taifu Yuan Wei, and Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi all looked at Li Xiang sideways.

In fact, what Li Xiang said was bold and tit-for-tat.

Sure enough, Cao Song's face flushed with anger.

The Queen smiled and said to Cao Song coldly:

"Li Xiang is right. I want to make Li Xiang the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards because I think he is capable enough. Why do you, Cao Song, jump to conclusions without knowing Li Xiang's martial arts? Do you think I am talking nonsense?"

"This...this, Queen, I dare not. This is not what I mean.

"Think!" Hearing the Queen's question, Cao Song was a little flustered and said hurriedly. [Ding! Issued task: Cao Song wants to suppress the host in the court because the host redeemed Madam Bian. Fight back against Cao Song, make the civil and military officials look at the host with new eyes, and revive the prestige of the Longxi Li family! Reward: a sweat-blood horse and a thousand-year-old cornel fruit!] [Sweat-blood horse]: can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles at night, sweating like blood, a good BMW mount! [Millennium Cornel Fruit]: powerful medicinal effect, after taking it, it improves physical fitness, especially the body's endurance and stamina are greatly improved, force +3, physical fitness +5! The prompt sounded, Li Xiang narrowed his eyes, stepped forward directly, and bowed to Liu Hong: "Xiang does not ask for the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards, but it does not mean that the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards is an unattainable position for Xiang. "

"Xiang has been practicing martial arts and reading military books since he was young. He believes that he has some ability to lead troops to fight like his ancestors one day. It is not that the words of the Minister of Agriculture cannot convince the Imperial Guards and the civil and military officials."

"Of course, Your Majesty and the others think that Xiang is just talking nonsense and boasting. Please give Xiang a chance to show his martial arts and prove himself!"

Li Xiang's face was solemn, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant. However, when his words fell into the ears of everyone, they made everyone stunned.

Li Xiang actually said that the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards was not an unattainable position for him. In fact, Li Xiang's tone seemed to look down on the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards?

In an instant, the discussion of civil and military officials began.

"How arrogant! It seems that even the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards is looked down upon! "

"I thought that the Longxi Li family would produce another outstanding member, but who knew that he was so arrogant? Did he really think that he could be so arrogant just because he saved the queen and the eldest prince? He still looked down on the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards?"

...

The voices of discussion rang out, but they were many civil and military officials, all of whom thought that Li Xiang was arrogant and boastful.

Only the queen was a little calm. Queen He Lian still trusted Li Xiang's martial arts.

The Imperial Guards were all good players, but they were suppressed by the men in black, which showed how powerful the men in black were.

And the men in black were slaughtered like withered withered rotten wood when facing Li Xiang.

The queen knew Li Xiang's martial arts, but Liu Hong didn't know.

Liu Hong frowned at Li Xiang and hesitated:

"How do you want to prove yourself?"

Li Xiang looked at Cao Song, who was sneering at him, and replied loudly:

"Your Majesty, it is easier for military generals to prove themselves. They can fight in close combat and ride horses and shoot arrows. "

"Xiang is a humble man, but I am willing to challenge a hundred imperial guards to prove my bravery!"

"What? Challenge a hundred imperial guards to prove my bravery?"

In the hall, Li Xiang's voice fell, and an uproar resounded throughout the place.

Even Liu Hong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was shocked and looked at Li Xiang in shock.
