Chapter XVIII
"This is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince!"
"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince?"
"The Prince?"
Li Langzhong was stunned by this head, and his mind went blank.
This, how can a prince be involved? I asked him where he came from......
Thinking of this, Li Langzhong broke out in a cold sweat, and for a while, he even forgot to salute the prince.
Ji Yu's face was expressionless, "In the future, this smelting division will be under the control of the main hall, and all unreasonable systems will be canceled." Go back and tell you Si Cheng that in the future, the Smelting Division will be the Smelting Division, and the Ordnance Department will be the Ordnance Division. There is no other connection between the two! ”
Then Ji Yu curled the corners of his mouth and said: "If today's incident happens again, then the main hall will have to make a good trouble!" ”
"Yes, yes. Xia Guan knows! The lower official retired, and the lower official retired......"
Li Langzhong's calves trembled uncontrollably, and he was supported by the entourage officials. The group did not have the slightest pretension when they came, and fled from the gate of the smelting division in embarrassment.
Ji Yu walked to the front and turned to look at the officials of the Metallurgical Division.
"From now on, no matter whether it is the Ordnance Division, or other departments, no one else can bully the Metallurgical Division. From earning this thousand taels of silver today and driving away this Li Langzhong, our smelting division will usher in a new beginning. ”
"The old days no longer exist. Therefore, we hope that in the future, we can stand up and let others look up at our smelting company. Outside, don't fall into the majesty of the main temple, don't fall into the majesty of the smelting division! ”
When everyone heard Ji Yu's words, their hearts were surging, and a thousand words in their chests were stuck in their throats, as if they were going to pour out all the grievances over the years.
In the end, Wu Zhihua took the lead and said in unison: "The ministers obey the order, thank you Your Highness!" ”
------------------------
"Brother-in-law! You're going to call the shots for me! ”
In the office of the Ordnance Division, Li Langzhong, who had just returned from the Smelting Division, shouted into the house before entering the door.
When the Weapons Division heard the shouting, his brows were furrowed, he put down the book in his hand, and looked at his wife and brother who had just stepped into the door.
"How many times have I told you, Li Cheng. In the office, it is called our company! ”
It seems that Li Cheng is very afraid of his brother-in-law on weekdays, but when he saw his face, he immediately put away his ugly expression, and whispered aggrievedly: "Yes, Si Cheng." ”
"What's the matter? Go ahead. ”
"Si Cheng, the Smelting Division is going against the sky!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Li Cheng's inexplicable words, Wang Pu was very puzzled and motioned for Li Cheng to make it clear.
Li Cheng added fuel to the description of today's encounter in the Metallurgical Division, and then said: "Brother-in-law, you must be the master for me!" If they insult me, they're slapping you in the face! ”
Wang Pu waved his hand impatiently and told Li Cheng to shut up.
Ignoring Li Cheng's resentful tone, Wang Pu caught the point in his words.
"You mean, the Fifth Highness is also here, and you also said that the Metallurgical Division will be under his control in the future?"
"Uh-huh." Li Cheng nodded again and again.
"You don't have to worry about this matter for now, and don't go to the Metallurgical Division recently. I'll wait until I find out what's going on. ”
"Oh——。"
Although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey his brother-in-law's words, so Li Cheng had to temporarily suppress his resentment.
…………
When he returned home in the evening, Li helped Wang Pu change into his official uniform.
"Master, did the Metallurgical Division go against you today?"
Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
"Li Cheng, that kid is coming for you!"
Li frowned, and said softly: "No matter how Xiaocheng doesn't succeed, he is the only seedling of the Li family!" When have you ever been so wronged......"
Wang Pu shouted coldly: "Hmph, stupid! I've figured things out. Even if he was killed by the Fifth Highness in the Metallurgical Division today, the Fifth Highness would not have much punishment. What's more, now the Fifth Highness is quite blessed ......"
Li's face turned pale with fright, "Ah! Didn't they all say that the Fifth Highness was a gentleman? ”
"How credible are the rumors in the market? Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, this matter is not all bad, it's time to knock and knock Li Cheng, otherwise sooner or later, one day, he will provoke a big man we can't afford to mess with. ”
What does Your Majesty mean? Let the Fifth Highness take charge of the Metallurgical Division! Is it cultivating the Five Highnesses, or is it balancing the other Highnesses? 】
Wang Pu remembered the information he had found out today, and fell into deep thought.
-----------------------
In the Qinzheng Palace, the atmosphere was solemn. Today, not only the four cabinet elders, but also the first- and second-class officials of the DPRK and the ministers of military aircraft are also here.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a military report sent urgently from Pingliangguan. Look at it. ”
Ji Qi picked up a few notebooks and asked Ma Lian to distribute them.
After the ministers finished reading the military newspaper in their hands, Huang Zhengzhe took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that they can't be appeased, now that it's just early winter, there will be one and two, and the Huns will come again." ”
"But today's treasury really can't withstand any more wars!"
Yuan Wei, the head of the household department, was worried.
"Why don't you let the Mobei Army dispatch? Beware of the Huns. ”
Feng Changli, the secretary of the military department, shook his head, "No, the Mobei army is almost all foot soldiers, and it can't catch up with the cavalry of the Huns, not to mention that the Mobei army has to guard against Shizhou City." After speaking, he sighed.
"Otherwise, let General Sima lead his troops out of the customs and sweep away the Hun cavalry?"
As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall fell silent.
Du Huiming was not afraid of offending people, and said: "Sima Hui is okay to defend the city, if he is allowed to go out of the city to fight, alas, it will be ......."
Zhang Deran added: "General Sima is good at defensive counterattacks, and small-scale clean-up wars like this are not General Sima's strong points. ”
The veteran Wang Huai stood up, "Your Majesty, the old minister has a candidate, maybe but this one." ”
"Oh? Old general, please speak. ”
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
When Ji Qi heard the answer, he lowered his head and thought about it, and was silent.
Everyone else also looked at Wang Huai in surprise, who is not good to recommend, and actually recommends the third prince.
After all, if you go out of Beijing at this time, you will basically have no chance with the throne. Ordinary people don't dare to say this kind of thing about inviting the prince out of Beijing.
Zhang Deran hesitated: "The talent of the Third Highness is indeed capable of taking on this responsibility, but it is just ......."
Wang Huai ignored everyone and said again: "Your Majesty, on weekdays, His Royal Highness has asked the old minister many times that if there is a war, let the old minister take him there." Now that His Royal Highness is outside the palace, why didn't His Majesty summon him in and ask him personally. ”
Ji Ji enlightened Ma Lian, "Tell him to come in." ”
"Son-in-law, see father." After Ji Yuan entered the hall, he saluted Ji Qi.
"Flat. I ask you, do you want to go to Pingliangguan? ”
Ji Yuan's expression was solemn, and he replied seriously and seriously: "Back to my father, my son wants to join the army and contribute to my Great Zhou with what he has learned." ”
Ji Qi stared at Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan also looked back at Ji Qi, and the father and son looked at each other like this for a few seconds.
"Do you know that when you reach the army, you are no longer the prince of the Great Zhou, but the soldiers who guard my Great Zhou! Would you still like to go? ”
"My son is willing to go!" Himagaki bowed highly.
"Good! If you don't do anything, I will cure you! ”
"The son will live up to the high hopes of his father and the emperor, and live up to the high hopes of the Great Zhou!"
A sonorous voice resounded through the hall.
