Chapter 217: Receiving the Order
Just thinking that they actually asked Mu Yuan to come and present grenades to the emperor, instead of letting someone from the Ministry of War report it, a big drama appeared in the mind of Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
Looks like he's going to have to find some time to clean up the people in the military department!
You must know that if Mu Yuan is a little greedy and doesn't explain the ins and outs to the emperor, wouldn't the credit that should belong to the military department be in vain?
"Li Shangshu, it seems that the weapon clearance department of your military department is finally somewhat useful! Not bad! Not bad! "It's just a pity......
Hearing Mu Yuan's words, the emperor looked at the military department Shangshu and laughed softly, and his eyes were deeply meaningful, which made the military department Shangshu can't help but feel a chill down his spine, and in his heart he hated those people in the military department who didn't do their right thing!
Originally, what a good opportunity for their military department to brush up their goodwill in front of the emperor! It's all ruined by those people!
Now it's okay, not only can I not get credit for the military department, but I let the emperor know about the dirty things in their military department, and the military department Shangshu can feel that his heart is dripping blood at this moment......
He must put this account on the heads of those corpse vegetarians!
"Yuan'er, you have presented such a treasure to me and made a great contribution to the imperial court, but what do you want?"
Seeing that the military department Shangshu understood what he meant, the emperor lowered his face and looked at Mu Yuan very gently and asked.
Such an attitude made the people present understand that the newly found emperor and grandson had completely fallen into the eyes of the emperor and made the emperor fall in love.
And with such a son, the prince's position will naturally be more stable.
Thinking of these years, because the prince has no children under his knees, and the whereabouts of his only son are unknown, the ambitions of the princes below have become bigger and bigger, and now they finally have enough momentum to threaten the prince, but Mu Yuan is returning at this moment, which is afraid that it will make the emperor set off a bloody storm in the coming days!
"If you go back to the emperor, the minister wants to ask for battle!" Mu Yuan replied sonorously, which made the emperor raise his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
The crown princess on the side looked at him nervously when she heard this, and she stopped talking a little.
"Why?" The emperor asked.
You must know that fighting a war is not a good thing, if you are not careful, the horse leather shroud is okay, and the worst thing is to die without a place to be buried!
"The education that the minister has received in the military family since he was a child is to be loyal and defend the country, and now as a descendant of the royal family, he should stand up when the court encounters danger, so as to be worthy of being a son, a grandson, and a minister!"
Hearing Mu Yuan's words, the emperor's eyes stared at him, trying to see something from his eyes, but the latter was not afraid to meet his eyes, and the loyal and clear eyes made the emperor's heart shock, and another pair of eyes very similar to him appeared in his mind.
At that time, that man also told him that he was worthy of being a minister and a citizen of the court to protect his family and defend the country.
It's a pity that more than seven years ago, he not only lost his such an excellent grandson, but also lost that person......
Thinking of this, the emperor closed his eyes a little sadly, and his appearance made everyone quiet, lowered his body, and trembled a little.
As for the crown prince, when he realized who the emperor was thinking, his eyes when he looked at Mu Yuan became a little complicated, and his eyes ...... How hostile is it?
"Mu Yuan!"
After a long while, the emperor reopened his eyes, as sharp as a nighthawk, and looked straight at Mu Yuan, who straightened his back when he heard the voice, and shouted "Arrived!" as if he had been named in the barracks. ”
"I now appoint you as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses for this expedition, wearing purple, gold and jade belts, and from now on, the ratio of this gunpowder and all related manufacturing will be entrusted to you, and all relevant personnel and required materials will be responsible for and coordinated by you, do you dare to accept it?"
As soon as the emperor's words fell, Mu Yuan knelt down to thank him for receiving the order, and shouted loudly: "Minister, thank the emperor for his grace!" ”
He couldn't help but surging in his heart, the reason why he chose to restore his status as the emperor at this time, and presented a grenade to the emperor, and took the initiative to ask for battle, was to use this credit to compete for the commander of this expedition.
And even if he can't go out in person in the end, he must not give up this position to anyone who has anything to do with Pang Yizhu, especially if they find out that Pang Yizhu's biggest backer is currently the Marquis of Wuding!
It's just that I didn't expect that the emperor would really hand over the boss to him!
"Yuan'er!"
Hearing that Mu Yuan had really accepted the emperor's appointment, the crown princess couldn't help but exclaim, but she didn't dare to open her mouth to reprimand the other party, and she knew that she couldn't question the will that had already been accepted at this time!
And her voice also made the emperor react, their mother and son had just reunited and recognized each other, and Mu Yuan was the only child of the prince, this time he led troops to the battlefield, even if he had a magic weapon such as a grenade in his hand, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be hurt at all, which made him suddenly regret how he agreed to the other party's request with a hot head?
But since he has made a will, he will not take it back, otherwise the decree will be changed overnight, and he will not have the majesty of the emperor?
However, when he saw Mu Yuan's young and somewhat childish face, and saw Wu Dinghou, who was wearing a military uniform, and lowered his head at the moment, making people a little unable to see his expression, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.
"Qi Yuyi!"
"The minister is here!"
Marquis Wuding knelt in front of the emperor and looked at each other expectantly, while Mu Yuan was on the side, his heart was hanging high, but he also knew very well that if he really only sent such a yellow-mouthed boy as himself to lead the troops, I was afraid that the emperor's imperial study would be flooded with a bunch of folds in two days!
Therefore, he will definitely pick a deputy general for himself, and judging from the current situation, the best candidate is Wu Dinghou!
Sure enough, the emperor appointed Marquis Wuding as the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses on this expedition to assist Mu Yuan.
This made Wudinghou feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, but as long as he left the imperial capital, with his ability, what if Mu Yuan was the emperor's grandson and the general of soldiers and horses?
Thinking of this, Marquis Wuding accepted the order to thank him.
"Yuan'er, this time to lead the troops, the task is heavy, you can choose a few trustworthy people for yourself to accompany the army, in addition, I authorize you to bring an extra team of people to protect your own safety."
Hearing the emperor's words, the Marquis of Wu Ding, who had just received the order, almost gritted his teeth, after all, the emperor's words were implying that everyone present, especially himself, Mu Yuan must come back intact on this expedition!
Then, as the deputy marshal this time, he will follow the expedition, in addition to coming back from a winning battle, he also has to protect Mu Yuan's personal safety!
