Chapter 55 Nonsense
Chapter 55 is full of nonsense
Qi State, Lingyang, Chaodian
King Qi sat on the throne and looked at the courtiers in the palace, just after Yu Dehai read the battle report, which caused the ministers to turn their heads and ears, and some people even doubted the authenticity of the war report. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
King Qi was a little dissatisfied with the performance of these ministers, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Chen Aiqing has been outside for several months and exterminated the water bandits, what's the matter?" What do you have any doubts? Let's talk about it and listen to it. ā
There was a sudden silence in the courtroom.
King Qi paused and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Chen Aiqing proposed a few days ago to train the navy and develop the navy. ā
Dong Li, the secretary of the military department who was standing in front, felt bad when he heard it.
Last time, the plan carefully arranged by him and Liu Wenjian, the secretary of the ministry, failed, and now Chen Zichen couldn't help but exterminate the water bandits, and also stretched his hand into the scope of the military department.
Dong Li didn't expect Chen Zichen to propose to develop the navy, didn't he know that the military department had suppressed the navy for many years?
"King, according to your arrangement, the military department is preparing an army recently, but the naval army has not been included in the plan, so I don't know how the naval army will develop?" Dong Li planned to try Chen Zichen's bottom first.
King Qi looked sideways slightly, looked at Dong Li and said lightly: "I watched Chen Aiqing's recital, I think it's not bad, the specific arrangement, I think it's best for the navy to form an independent camp." Establish a naval camp with the joint support of the six ministries. ā
At this time, not only Dong Li was stunned, but even everyone else was stunned, and Dong Li's heart was as unhappy as Liu Wenjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and of course there was also a Ministry of Ministers Yu Qingxian.
On the other hand, Chen Fudao, the loyal and brave uncle, Ma Daoyuan, the secretary of the household department, Xu Yuanqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Song Zhiyuan, the secretary of the criminal department, these four people are all insiders, and they are not so surprised, but they are still not enough prepared for King Qi to directly raise it in the court today.
Last time, they had tactfully persuaded King Qi to think twice about this matter, but now it was King Qi himself who had made a decision.
"The king, since ancient times, the military department has controlled the soldiers and horses of the world, of course, in addition to the king's personal army, if the naval army is separated, wouldn't it weaken the control of the military department over the world's soldiers and horses, which is very detrimental to the stability of the world." Dong Li said slowly.
Although he is very angry about such a thing, he must also exercise good restraint, if he jumps up and vigorously opposes it now, won't he regard the military department as his own private army, and when the time comes, it will not be good for people to use this rhetoric, and now he will fight on the basis of reason.
Chen Zichen nodded, and what Dong Li said made sense.
Seeing King Qi nodding and seeming to agree with his statement, Dong Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, Dong Aiqing, what you said as the secretary of the Ministry of War is very reasonable, so don't let the Navy become independent, and it will still be under the name of the Ministry of War, but if you develop it yourself, the Ministry of War must not interfere." King Qi thought for a moment and said.
Actually, King Qi is just trying to look better on the face of the military department. There is basically no change from the previous statement.
"King, the national system cannot be changed." Dong Li said.
"Dong Aiqing, this development of the navy is related to the future of our Daqi, the military department has suppressed the navy for so many years, and the filthy and widowed people among them have not arrived one by one, you know it in your own hearts." King Qi's face is a board, and he is colorful.
Listening to King Qi's tone, there was no doubt that Dong Li knew that King Qi had already decided in his heart about this matter.
If you continue to talk about it, it will definitely be unpleasant again, so let's focus on King Qi for the time being, and then the military salary and other things of the navy army are not up to the Ministry of War, so what can they do by themselves.
"King, this naval army is an independent battalion, with 30,000 soldiers and horses according to the structure, but it is newly built, should it be reduced?" Dong Li suggested.
"Haha, Dong Aiqing is too worried. The widow has already been calculated, and the naval army is an independent battalion, with 100,000 soldiers and horses. The Jiangmen camp and the Linshui camp are half each. King Qi looked at Dong Li with a smile and said lightly.
Dong Li was a little relieved when he heard King Qi say that he was worried too much, but now he was stunned by King Qi's bomb.
100,000 soldiers. 100,000 soldiers?
This is the formation of three large battalions. Independently organized? What a big appetite.
Dong Li now found that he had to sort out his thoughts.
"King, 100,000 sailors? Isn't it a bit much? I don't need so many water armies. Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, there have not been more than 10,000 sailors. Wouldn't it be better to spend the money on building a naval army to build infantry? Liu Wenjian, the secretary of the ministry, had already stood up and spoke.
Liu Wenjian absolutely could not let Chen Zichen develop in the navy, he received the news that the city lords of Jiangmen City were all taken by Chen Zichen, and he knew that once Chen Zichen mastered the 100,000 navy army, the threat to them would be great.
"Liu Aiqing, I don't know the case of Yu Yunzhi, the city lord of Jiangmen City, have you read it?" King Qi asked.
"I heard a little." As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Qingxian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
King Qi nodded and said, "It is estimated that the person will be escorted back in a few days, and the criminal department, the official department and the household department will conduct the trial, and the widow will go back to observe." ā
As soon as King Qi's words were finished, the three Shangshu commanded in unison.
Then I saw Yu Qingxian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, kneeling down and saying: "The king, the old minister has no way to teach his son, which caused him to cause such a big disaster, and he asked the king to surrender." ā
Yu Qingxian should be regarded as the oldest among these many scholars, and when he saw him kneeling on the top of the main hall, he couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation.
King Qi looked at the old Yu Qingxian and comforted: "Yu Aiqing, your son's affairs have nothing to do with you, no one would have thought that he would ignore the laws of the country so much. ā
Yu Qingxian had already slashed Chen Zichen ten thousand times in his heart, but fortunately he cut off all the clues in time, otherwise, this fire would definitely burn on him.
Chen Zichen got his son down, he just tried his best to kill Chen Zichen, but he has been immersed in officialdom for so many years and knows how to forbear, he is waiting for the opportunity.
Ever since he began to erase all clues, he had begun to grow much older, and these days he has been thinking about his son very much.
Dumb people eat Coptis chinensis - there is bitterness that can't be said? That's probably what it tastes like.
Smashed your teeth and swallowed them in your stomach? That's probably what it tastes like.
Why are tears so salty? That's probably what it tastes like.

The atmosphere in the court was a little solemn.
King Qi broke this solemnity and said lightly: "Let's discuss the matter of the water army just now. ā
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, 100,000 sailors are too many, and the country can't afford such a huge consumption, please think twice." Dong Li couldn't help it, but he still suppressed himself and said kindly.
"Dong Aiqing, the 100,000 naval army is still less than the infantry, and it is not enough to reduce the expenses of the infantry." King Qi said lightly.
"King, infantry is the foundation of the country, how can you defend the territory without infantry?" Dong Li didn't expect that his words would lead King Qi to the matter of the infantry.
The affairs of the naval army, everyone can discuss it to the death, anyway, it has not yet become an army, but the infantry affairs cannot be moved, if it moves, it is moving his interests. Dong Li definitely can't give up.
"King, what Lord Dong said makes sense, the infantry is the foundation of the country, and it can only increase its input, not reduce it, but on the other hand, the naval army does not have much effect, and if it can be less, it will be less." Liu Wenjian, the secretary of the ministry, echoed and said.
He and Dong Li are on the same front.
King Qi's face changed, but he was still kind and pleasant, and he was not angry because Dong Li and Liu Wenjian had been opposing.
Seeing that the two of them have been vigorously opposing, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the two of them are standing together.
The two bosses of the conservative and the main battle faction are standing together, and the people below naturally know what to do.
The court has become chaotic again.
Chen Fudao looked at these two people and said one by one, all opposing his son's proposal, of course, he couldn't jump out and say anything at this time, and he still knew about it.
"Wang, I think what Lord Dong and Lord Liu said is not unreasonable, but the construction of the naval army and the buildable strength still need to be examined, and the household department will come up with a plan to see if everyone can accept it." Tobe Shangshu Ma Daoyuan appropriately stood up and said.
He had been pondering this matter since the last time King Qi summoned him, and he knew that King Qi would ask about this matter sooner or later, and it was best to prepare early.
Today, if there is any more conflict in this chaotic court, it may make the king and the ministers unable to step down.
The princes and scholars rule the world together, but it is not in vain.
Although King Qi is the lord of a country, he is not an emperor after all, and he does not have such an emperor.
People say that when the emperor is angry, the corpses accumulate into a mountain, and the blood becomes a river.
However, the competition between the princes of the world is still brewing...
