Chapter 1,656 I am willing to join you, sir.

"We will pay homage to His Highness, King of Han and His Highness, King of Shu." A large number of officials from Quanzhou saluted Zhao Chen and Li Ke.

"You don't have to be polite," Zhao Chen waved.

Everyone stood still, their eyes falling on Zhao Chen.

When I first met this legendary King of Han, many people had different thoughts in their hearts.

Zhao Chen's reputation has been spread in the Tang Dynasty for a long time.

Now that they have seen it with their own eyes, they naturally find it difficult to believe.

Although he knew that Zhao Chen was young, he had made such extraordinary achievements at such an age, even the champion Hou, who was the champion of the Langjuxu back then, could not stand up to him.

While everyone was looking at Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen was also looking at the Quanzhou officials in front of him.

Standing in front of everyone was Quanzhou Governor Zhang Ji, who was also the leader of the temporary fight against the ronin.

Zhang Ji was wearing Confucian clothes, fluttering clothes, a square scarf, a serious face, and a thick eyebrows frowned.

He is tall and calm, with a green jade hanging around his waist.

He has a deep eyes, a bright look, and a completely righteous face.

Standing beside him was the general Mo Yanwen of the army. The man was big and round, and his eyes were round, and he seemed to be no ordinary person.

"This time I came here because I heard that there were ronin attacks at Quanzhou port and the people suffered heavy losses."

"I hope you and I will work together to eliminate the Japanese ronin." Zhao Chen said slowly, his eyes swept across everyone in front of him.

"Your Highness has an order, and we will definitely obey it." Everyone said in unison.

Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction and was about to issue an order when he saw someone coming out of the team.

"Your Highness, I don't know who is the commander and who is in charge of this battle." The speaker was a small official in Quanzhou Prefecture, but at this moment he was the first to attack Zhao Chen.

"The emperor is here, so naturally the emperor is in charge of the full command. What do you mean by asking this?" Zhao Chen did not speak, and Li Ke couldn't help it.

No one knows Zhao Chen’s performance on the battlefield in the past.

Today, when dealing with a mere ronin, someone actually asked such a question?

Could it be that in this battlefield where the Japanese ronin were wiped out, others would come to command?

"Your Highness the King of Shu, what the subordinates mean is that although Your Highness the King of Han has made great achievements in other battlefields, this is the battlefield with the Japanese ronin."

"Ronins are cunning, knowledgeable about water and familiar with naval warfare. If we need to pursue them, we must go out to sea to chase them."

"The officials are worried that His Highness the King of Han's Ministry of War is familiar with the methods of naval combat, so..." The official said this and did not continue.

Who among the present can't hear the meaning of this official.

"He Heng, you are arrogant, who made you speak like this?" Zhang Ji, the governor of Quanzhou, immediately scolded him.

He quickly turned around and looked at Zhao Chen, bowed and said, "Your Highness atones for his sins. He Heng is a man who speaks without restraint and talks nonsense. The official immediately drove him out."

"Come here, drive He Heng and I out of the government office."

"Wait." Zhao Chen reached out and stopped the yamen runner who was about to drive people away.

His eyes fell on the official named He Heng in front again.

When everyone saw that Zhao Chen did not speak immediately, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.

After a long time, everyone heard Zhao Chen speak: "I have never been wrong with the naval battle. This command should naturally not fall on me."

"The Quanzhou Governor has served here for many years, so he is naturally very experienced. In this way, the full command of your Quanzhou Governor will be given to the Japanese ronin this time."

"Your Highness, the lower-ranking officials are not talented and knowledgeable, I'm afraid they can't..."

"Hey, it's okay. No matter what, he is much better than me, a layman." Zhao Chen interrupted Zhang Ji with a smile.

Li Ke was confused when he saw him.

If you give command to others, then what are they doing here?

Watch the show?

It would be better to go back to Chang'an to see it, and you will be free and at ease.

But Li Ke didn't know how to ask about this directly here, so he could only hesitate silently.

"Then the official will obey Your Highness's arrangements and temporarily command the army to fight." Zhang Ji bowed slightly.

...

"Brother, why is it?" Li Ke chased behind Zhao Chen.

"What is the reason?" Zhao Chen stopped and looked at Li Ke.

At this time, everyone dispersed, and Zhao Chen was about to go to the backyard of the Governor's Mansion to rest, and go to the front-line battlefield tomorrow morning to take a look.

"I want to know, brother, why did you hand over the command of the battlefield? Others don't know, but I don't know yet."

"With your ability as a royal brother, you will definitely be able to defeat those ronin better than them." Li Ke said sincerely.

He believed that Zhao Chen's abilities were definitely more than that.

At that time, no one believed that Zhao Chen could lead troops to fight.

But everyone has seen the situation later.

Everyone's guess is wrong.

Zhao Chen can not only do it, but also better than all of them.

"You didn't realize that Zhang Ji wanted this command." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Zhang Ji?" Li Ke was stunned.

"Isn't that person named He Heng asked?" Li Ke didn't react for a while.

"Without Zhang Ji's support, an ordinary little official dares to challenge me, the King of Han in public?"

"The emperor's meaning is that Zhang Ji has other plans."

"But I don't think he looks like a person with something wrong. Look at his appearance, he looks handsome and looks righteous..." Li Ke couldn't believe Zhao Chen's words.

Or rather, his first impression of Zhang Ji was very good.

Naturally, I would think that the matter of asking for command of the army was the little official He Heng's own thoughts.

"But what is the reason for him doing this?" Li Ke asked afterwards.

"Maybe he just doesn't believe me, or maybe he wants to interfere."

"But no matter what the reason is, we will know soon." Zhao Chen smiled slightly, then waved his hand, indicating that Li Ke should not come with him.

Li Ke stood there, frowning with his brows.

...

"Sir." In the yard of Zhang Ji, the Governor's Office, He Heng, was standing in front of him at this moment.

"You did a good job just now and helped me get this command." Zhang Ji sat on the stool, looked at He Heng in front of him, and slowly lowered the teacup in his hand.

"Why do you want to fight for this command? It is easy to offend the King of Han." He Heng didn't quite understand why Zhang Ji wanted to help him fight for the command of the army.

But what he knew was that he offended Zhao Chen to death today.

I may cause myself some trouble in the future.

But he had no choice but to do it, Zhang Ji was his immediate boss.

If you offend Zhao Chen, you may suffer in the future. If you offend Zhang Ji, you will have to finish playing now.

"The King of Han does not know about naval battles. If he was commanded, our army would inevitably suffer heavy losses. I also know that this would punish the King of Han, but for the people on the southeast coast of my country, I can only do this for the sake of the people on my country."

"Even if I am hated by the King of Han, I will do whatever I want." Zhang Ji sighed.
