The emperor left suddenly, he had just arranged the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, and he was busy with the aftermath of Emperor Xian'en.

Finally stopped for a while, Wang Quande's side began to make trouble again, Wang Quanquan didn't even have time to eat, and hurried to the ordnance factory.

"Brother Lu Ming, how are the firearms prepared?"

As soon as Wang Quanquan entered the gate, he shouted in the direction of the shooting range.

This will Liu Luming is there to test firing, he can't hear any other sound at all, he has been busy enough these days, a while ago Emperor Xian'en's funeral has just been completed, Wang Quanquan found him with a stack of drawings, the two studied for an afternoon, and finally figured out the clue.

Wang Quanquan took over the Secret Guard after the death of Emperor Xian'en, and because of this, he learned a lot of news.

Previously, Wang Zhide intercepted two hundred firecrackers from the hands of the dynasty army, and he controlled the entire Shuikou Gang, and the weapon factory belonging to the Shuikou Gang naturally fell into his hands, so it should not be difficult to reproduce the firearms.

Although it can't be exactly the same, it should still be possible to reach seven or eight points.

Although the dynasty still has an artillery advantage, the production of artillery is too slow, since the initial test firing, only five have been produced now, which cannot have much impact on the battle situation, so the research and development of new weapons is imminent.

Wang Quanquan and his brothers studied for several days in a row, and finally finalized the plan.

I am afraid that it is not realistic to study the perfect fixed ammunition in a short period of time, but it is still possible to make a semi-finished product, and then a special person will be responsible for loading, which is troublesome, but it is also a helpless move at the moment.

……

"How's it going?"

Wang Quanquan stepped forward and ripped off Liu Luming's earplugs, but the latter turned his head, but Wang Quanquan was startled.

I saw that Liu Luming's face was dark, grinning, revealing two rows of white teeth, which made Wang Quanquan feel like he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"Why did you make your face look like Ah San?"

"Who is Ah San?"

Liu Luming asked subconsciously, and then touched his face, only then did he realize that his face was gray.

"Not to mention, I tested hundreds of rounds of ammunition this morning, and I didn't have time to wash my face.

Also, I have been at the shooting range every day for the past few days, and now I have tinnitus from time to time when I sleep at night. ”

As Liu Luming spoke, he began to pour bitter water.

Wang Quanquan also felt a little uncomfortable, and said:

"I'll talk to the emperor when I go back, and I'll give you a raise in salary."

"It's better to give me another level and a half." Liu Luming hurriedly added.

"I know, as long as you do this job well, it's a great achievement."

Liu Luming's thoughts, can the king not understand? It's not that I want to become a big member as soon as possible, so that I can be worthy of the sixth princess Wang Binghui.

The other party smirked when he heard this, and got down to business:

"You give me another ten days to ensure that the finished work is beautiful."

"Ten days?" Wang Quanquan's eyes widened, "The second brother will be in three cities in a row, and he won't be able to hit the Jingshi in ten days?" ”

"Seven days, then." Liu Luming gritted his teeth and said.

Wang Quanquan directly stretched out five fingers, "Five days, no more, don't forget that we still need time to give birth." After this incident, I will guarantee you to be promoted two levels in a row. ”

Liu Luming's eyes were excited when he heard this, and he thought about his appearance when he was promoted, and then thought about the face of the six princes, and the night of the candles in the cave room......

"Alright, done!" Liu Luming clenched his fists and said.

Seeing this, Wang Quanquan smiled with satisfaction, patted the other party's shoulder and said:

"Brother do a good job, brother will change you to a sister-in-law next year."

"Thank you, Brother Wang......"

As soon as Liu Luming finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and before he could come back to his senses, Wang Quanquan continued to ask:

"Is your dad at home?"

"My dad has nothing to do all day after he retired, so he should play chess with other old men."

"Okay, got it, you get busy first."

……

Wang Quanquan left the ordnance factory and walked all the way to Liu's mansion.

Liu Ge Lao is now old, no longer than a few years ago, he used to walk from the noon gate to the Taihe Hall without breathing, and he already needs to rest several times.

Although the old man has the heart to fight a veteran of the Four Dynasties, it is a pity that he is old, and he really can't disobey the old. The purpose of Wang Quanquan's trip is to invite the old man to come out of the mountain again, although it is not very moral for him to put aside Liu Luming's family, but it is really helpless.

He said a few good words for the military attache because of Yan Shaohai's dereliction of duty, and while currying favor with the military attaché, he also offended many civilian officials.

For example, in the case of rehabilitation, if you want these people to contribute money and efforts, it is really difficult to reach the sky, and the generals sent to the south have been selected, but the grain and grass have not progressed for a long time, some say that the grain storage in various places is insufficient, and some say that bandits are rampant along the way, in short, no one wants to suffer.

The imperial court will send people to count the autumn harvest every year, this year's grain output exceeds that of previous years, and the granaries in various places are abundant.

In the face of these officials who were talking nonsense with their eyes open, Wang Quanquan beat or scolded him, and in the end he had no choice but to ask his mentor Liu Ge to come out.

As soon as he came to the gate of Liu's mansion, Wang Quanquan heard a shouting from inside:

"Hey Lao Liu, how can you regret chess?"

"Just one step, just one step."

"What's just one step, you've regretted this game five times."

"One last time."

Wang Quanquan couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, Liu Ge is always a well-known stinky chess basket, but he likes to play games with others, and he has to regret playing eight or nine times every time, which is typical of being a vegetable and a fun-loving player.

Over time, gradually no one was willing to play chess with him, and only this Lord Sun, who had been friends with him for decades, had to make a few moves with him for the sake of face.

Wang Quanquan came behind Liu Ge Lao, and bowed his hand to Lord Sun on the opposite side, which was regarded as a greeting, which made Liu Ge Lao frown and think, and didn't notice that there was another person behind him.

"Flying car." Wang Quanquan reminded in a whisper.

When Liu Ge heard this, he immediately showed a sudden expression, and ate a horse opposite with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Master Sun immediately frowned and moved his pawn a step forward.

"Vault."

Wang Quanquan spoke again, Liu Ge Lao's eyes lit up, and he jumped off the horse and ate the cannon opposite.

"General! Haha, old grandson, your chess strength is still a little hot. ”

Master Sun, who was in a good situation, smiled bitterly at this time, and he said to the opposite king:

"Watching chess without saying a true gentleman, you are ...... the eighth prince"

Without waiting for the king to speak, Liu Ge Lao was the first to interject:

"Old Sun, you can't afford to lose, can you? This is my student, his ability is still taught by me, who is not under it? You have ordered this pot of wine. ”

The king arched his hand to the old man opposite and confessed:

"Sun Lao Mo is strange, I am a real villain, I will invite this wine."

The old man surnamed Sun, who was very important in the court, said with a smile:

"It's just a pot of wine, it's not in the way, this old guy likes a jar of good wine hidden by the old man, give it to him, I don't know what the prince is doing when he arrives?"

The old man's name is Sun Chenghong, who has served in the imperial court since the Taizu period, and has been a scholar of a first-class university and a minister of life, and he is not inferior to Liu Ge Lao in front of him in terms of qualifications.

Sun Chenghong is an idle character, and has made a lot of achievements for decades, but compared to the court, he prefers the mountains and rivers, so he resigned early and retired to play in the mountains and rivers.

……

Wang Quanquan looked at his mentor, and then shook it to the end, "The disciple implores the teacher to return to the court to preside over the overall situation." ”

"Why?"

Liu Ge Lao looked puzzled, he had just retired, and he still knew about the officials in the DPRK and China.

The current ministers of the humerus are a little more sleek, but they also have the ability, otherwise he would not be at ease to let go.

Wang Quanquan smiled wryly and said slowly:

"Presumably, you also know that there is no shortage of capable people in today's court, and with the efforts of three generations of emperors, no one in the court is mediocre.

But the more capable they are, the more they are not convinced by anyone, although the civil and military officials in the court at the beginning were divided into factions, but they were also balanced in power and constrained each other.

Now that the former emperor has died, the foundation of the new emperor is unstable, and the older generation of officials have retired one after another, these new officials have shown signs of forming a party for personal gain.

The Wenchen camp, which was like an iron pass back then, has been divided into multiple parts.

It may be an exaggeration to say that they are disrespectful to the order, but it is extremely convenient to bully the superiors and subordinates, and until now, the instructions issued half a month ago are still dragged and not implemented, and they prevaricate every time they ask about it.

The disciple really had no way to come to the teacher for help. ”

Wang Quanquan said all the anger he had suffered in the past half a month, and the two old men on the other side also frowned and thought about it when they heard this.

Forming a party for personal gain has always been a taboo in the court, but the boundary between what constitutes a party and what is private is very blurred.

If you strictly calculate it, the current two old people playing chess together can also be regarded as forming a party for personal gain.

It is precisely because it is difficult to judge, so as long as it is not overdone, most emperors will turn a blind eye, but it is the first time that they have joined forces to bully the emperor like this.

The royal authority is also very passive, although the emperor asked him to be a minister of care before he died, and he could enjoy the power of life and death, but he thought about it again and again and refused.

His Majesty is too young today, and there are many things to learn, and if everything is controlled by himself, this emperor may never become a talent.

Therefore, the royal authority is now just the first assistant with the title of the prince, there are many things that are inconvenient to do, if you really don't care about it, it is indispensable to take the opportunity to eradicate the infamy of dissidents, and maybe there will be such heart-wrenching remarks as "the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

Sometimes the royal authority is also thinking, if he was the emperor, he would have served the court staff a long time ago, where would it be your turn to show off your power here?

……

After thinking for a while, Liu Ge stroked his beard and looked at Sun Chenghong opposite, "Old Sun, what do you think?" ”

The latter smiled dumbly:

"What do you think? There are no tigers on the mountain, the monkey is the king, and these little cubs are beaten by shortcomings. ”

"You have a lot of ideas, think of a way."

"What's that called?" Sun Chenghong scolded with a smile, and then said: "But there is indeed a way, you two come over with your ears." ”

After a long time, Wang Quanquan and Liu Ge Lao glanced at each other, crying and laughing, this trick is quite bad.

Wang Quanquan hesitated for a long time, and said embarrassedly:

"Teacher, is this appropriate?"

Elder Liu Ge glared at him, "Don't you just want me to be this villain?" The old man is a lot old, and the loess is buried up to his neck, so he doesn't care about this infamy. ”

Hearing this, Wang Quanquan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and waved at the patriarch of the three dynasties.

"Teacher's righteousness."

……

The next day, there was a commotion in the court, not because of anything new, but because of the old things about grain and grass.

As soon as the king's authority was proposed, there was a mess at the bottom, and dozens of civil officials were divided into more than a dozen waves, shirking each other's responsibilities, some said that Donglu Zhongzhou was a large grain-producing province, and should have come up with enough grain and grass, and some said that Jiangnan Province was rich, and they should be responsible for spending.

In short, they are passing the buck to each other, and no one is willing to give money and grain and grass.

Wang Quanquan intended to let the household department plan in a unified manner, but as a result, the household department Shangshu spread his hands, saying that the political envoys from all over the country did not agree with the plan he gave, and asked the saint to rule in person.

The new emperor, who had just died of his father, had not yet come to his senses, and he did not know much about the situation in various places, so he wanted to let the uncle of Wang Quan decide, but none of the officials below were convinced.

……

At this moment, a cold snort calmed down the scene.

Liu Ge, who was over seventy years old, put on his official uniform again and walked in outside the hall, glanced around, and bowed respectfully to the new emperor and said:

"Old minister Liu Jianbai, see His Majesty the Emperor."

The scene was silent for a while.

"Elder Liu, please get up, give me a seat!"

"No need."

Liu Ge Lao said in a deep voice, and then stood up with the support of the king's authority, he turned around and looked at the Hubu Shangshu with cloudy eyes.

This Shangshu Lord, in terms of seniority, can be regarded as a disciple of Liu Ge Lao.

Liu Ge Lao stepped forward slowly and stood still in front of the Hubu Shangshu, and everyone around him quietly watched the scene in front of him.

"Teacher, you ......"

As soon as Hubu Shangshu spoke, he heard a "pop" and directly slapped Liu Ge Lao with a big mouth.

"Are you embarrassed to call me teacher? That's what I taught you? ”

Although Hubu Shangshu was only in his early fifties, he was still knocked to the ground by Liu Ge, who was in his seventies, and his back molars almost flew out.

Liu Ge Lao stretched out his finger and pointed at the other party and said:

"I taught you to relieve Your Majesty's worries, but you blocked Your Majesty, and the traitors have laid down three cities, and you still don't have any money, are you waiting for the country to die?"

As he spoke, he was about to continue to go up and fan him, but when Wang Quanquan saw this, he hurriedly stopped him, and shouted in his mouth:

"Teacher, can't you do it, you can crush walnuts with your hand, if you hit it again, Master Shangshu will die."

"And you!"

It's good that Wang Quanquan didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Ge Lao instantly pointed the finger at him.

"How did you become this Shousuke? Before the death of the emperor, the crown prince was entrusted to you, and you can make the decision for your majesty and ...... these rebellious ministers and thieves."

The old man said, and pointed his hand at the surrounding circle of people, "Drag the disloyal ministers among them out of the noon gate and behead them." ”

"How does this work?" Wang Quanquan hurriedly said.

"What's not to be avoided? At least half of them are the disciples of the old man, and the old man allows you to send them down at will. ”

"What about the other half?"

Wang Quanquan said something that made everyone present tremble.

"The other half?"

Liu Ge was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The old man is still a little thin-faced when he asks himself, even if you kill, I will help you make amends to their teacher after killing." ”

“……”

The whole hall suddenly fell silent.

There wasn't a single fool present, how could they not see that this was a play, but what if they did?

This old man, whose status and qualifications far surpassed them, personally stood up to support the Eighth Prince, and he was still under the banner of a teacher teaching his disciples.

The teacher teaches the disciples, it is natural, who dares to say a word?

……

The king ordered the guards to send the old man who was trembling with anger home, and he turned around calmly.

"Your Excellency has also heard it, I repeat, to exterminate the traitor, all localities must contribute money and efforts, the specific situation, I will write an excerpt, if anyone still wants to hide their secrets, launch the noon gate, and correct the Fa on the spot!

When I'm done, who's in favor? Who is against? ”

The officials in the hall were silent for a moment, and then they knelt down in unison, "Obey!" ”

Wang Quanquan smiled awe-inspiringly, what he lacked was a famous teacher.
