Volume 5 Chapter 534 It's all about slapping the face

As the head of the march in Taohe County, Wei Chi Jingde is still very responsible.

No matter how much he had opinions about the eldest grandson Wuji, he didn't have any complaints about Li Er's arrangement.

The reason why he came quietly was also to keep an eye on the eldest grandson Wuji for Li Er.

Don't forget, this guy also has a good habit of exposing people's shortcomings.

As long as he catches someone else's mistakes, this guy will point it out mercilessly, and it is this good habit that makes the relationship between Wei Chi Jingde and the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling very 'good'......

"Taohe business? Workshop? After listening to the soldiers who came to inquire about the news before after talking about the recent situation in Taohe County, Wei Chi Jingde said with a smile, "Eldest Sun Wuji, this old fox, is really good at it!" ”

Although he is a martial artist, he is not a reckless man.

In addition to being proud of his achievements and loving to expose others' shortcomings, he is still very politically clear-headed.

Don't believe it, there was such an incident in the original history, saying that Li Er and Tang Jian played chess and argued, Li Er was immediately furious, and sent Tang Jian to Tanzhou.

Who knew that even so, Li Er was still angry, so he said to Wei Chi Jingde, who was present at the time: "Tang Jian despises me, I want to kill him, you come to testify for me, saying that his words offended me." ”

When Wei Chi Jingde saw Li Er's anger at that time, he knew that he was cautious again, and he agreed immediately.

But the next day, when Li Er mentioned this matter again, Wei Chi Jingde kowtowed and said, "The minister really hasn't heard of it." ”

Li Er asked many times, but Wei Chi Jingde still did not change his statement.

This made Li Er furious and smashed the jade stump to the ground, but all the ministers above the court were there, and Li Er couldn't punish Yu Chi Jingde for this, so he had to brush his sleeves and leave.

In the end, after Li Er's anger subsided, this matter was over, Tang Jian did not die in vain, and Wei Chi Jingde was even rewarded for it.

From this, it can be seen that although Wei Chi Jingde is a martial artist, he is not a reckless man.

So at this time, as soon as he heard what his soldiers said, he immediately understood the plan of the eldest grandson Wuji.

In this regard, he was not surprised, standing on their side, there was only one person who was loyal to them.

"General, should we send someone to inform the county guard now?" "After all, we've arrived, and we're about to take over the barracks......"

When Wei Chi Jingde heard this, he smiled and said, "Do you think that the old fox of the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't know that the old man has arrived?" Wait, before tomorrow, the old fox will come to visit in person. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Chi Jingde shook his head and sighed, "The old man will obey them a little bit, obviously hate you for not dying, but before killing you, etiquette is not bad at all."

It feels like he's standing in front of you, and he's talking to you affectionately, "Please go on your way."

Hypocrisy, what a fucking hypocrisy! ”

Although he said so, Wei Chi Jingde knew that this was the gap between himself and the eldest grandson Wuji and others.

And on the county guard's mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji was chatting with the eldest grandson Fu about Wei Chi Jingde.

Not to mention, let Wei Chi Jingde guess correctly, before he set up camp, the eldest grandson Wuji learned the news that he had arrived.

"Lang Jun, what is the meaning of Wu Guogong's move?" Changsun Fu asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head disdainfully and said, "What can this old man have any meaning, it's just that he wants to catch the old man's mistakes." ”

"It's disgusting!" When the eldest grandson Fu heard this, he said, "I want him to be a dignified Duke of Wu, but he relies on his own merits to expose people's shortcomings everywhere, how can he have the demeanor of a Duke of Guo?" ”

Hearing him say this, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "Then you are wrong, even if you are an old man, you can't deny the merits of his lieutenant Chi Jingde."

Whether it is the founding of the Tang Dynasty or His Majesty's accession to the throne, his lieutenant Chi Jingde has made great achievements, and no one can deny this.

And the reason why he is proud of his achievements and exposing people's shortcomings everywhere is also a means for him to protect himself.

In the final analysis, his credit is too great, if he is reconciled with the ministers again, what do you make Your Majesty think?

This old puppet is deliberate. ”

Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and smiled very satisfied, "That's okay, the old man also needs such an opponent, whether it's for him or for the old man, it's a good thing."

Arrange for the old man to personally welcome him to his post tomorrow. ”

The two of them were not enemies, not even political enemies.

But the tacit understanding between each other really doesn't have to be talked about.

As for why he didn't tell everyone at today's banquet that Wei Chi Jingde had arrived, naturally he also had his deep meaning.

Early the next morning, the eldest grandson Wuji set off to the place where Wei Chi Jingde temporarily camped outside the city.

"I really let the general say it right." When Wei Chi Jingde's personal soldiers saw the eldest grandson Wuji coming, they also worshiped Wei Chi Jingde so much.

At that moment, after greeting the eldest grandson Wuji, he turned around and went to inform Wei Chi Jingde.

"He's not here, right?" Wei Chi Jingde said with a smile.

"How did the general know?" The soldiers were stunned, and he was wondering why he didn't see the honor guard of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Wei Chi Jingde also thought deeply last night, and immediately said: "This old fox, it seems that he has come to visit the old man's mouth, go, lead the way." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji saw Wei Chi Jingde, he smiled with a spring breeze on his face: "Brother Jingde is going to work thousands of miles, why don't you inform the old man in advance, and the old man can also wash the dust for Brother Jingde, right?" ”

Hearing such hypocritical words from the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde endured his thoughts and said, "How dare the old man bother the auxiliary brother? Didn't he just end Xue Yantuo's war, so he hurried here, after all, after delaying for so long, the old man was afraid that he would not be entrusted by His Majesty. ”

Although behind the scenes, Wei Chi Jingde despises this kind of behavior in front of the face and behind the scenes, but this is the case in the officialdom, at the moment, Wei Chi Jingde invited the eldest grandson Wuji to his Chinese army tent, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, the old man came in a hurry, but he missed entering the city, so he could only camp outside the city, so that the auxiliary brother smiled." ”

"Where." The eldest grandson Wuji said, "Brother Jingde travels day and night, and the starry night comes, so he should be our role model." ”

After praising each other for two sentences, the eldest grandson Wuji went straight to the point.

"By the way, Brother Jingde should also know about the current situation in Douhe County, right?"

For this, the eldest grandson Wuji has no doubts.

Wei Chi Jingde didn't hide it, and said in a low voice: "I understand a little, speaking of which, the auxiliary machine brother is slacking off, now that spring has begun, the old man has come all the way, but he has not seen the officials from all over the country supervising the farmers, how can he make such a mistake as the old brother of the auxiliary machine of the county guard of Douhe County?" Isn't it a failure to live up to Your Majesty's trust? ”

Since the eldest grandson Wuji is willing to be commensurate with brothers, Wei Chi Jingde doesn't mind relying on the old and selling the old.

However, his words did not fluctuate much for the eldest grandson Wuji.

This guy loves to expose people's mistakes for more than a day or two.

At that moment, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Brother Jingde is right, but Brother Jingde doesn't know the truth about Douhe County, Douhe County is already barren, if you rely on ...... alone"

Saying that, the eldest grandson Wuji really gave a detailed introduction to the various situations in Douhe County.

Hearing this, Wei Chi Jingde nodded, and said: "It's not easy for the auxiliary brother, indeed, if this Douhe County doesn't find another way, it is indeed difficult to make a difference, but it is the heart of the old man and the villain." ”

"Where is it, Brother Jingde is also worried about the people of Douhe County." The eldest grandson Wuji said, "By the way, what does Brother Jingde think about the opening of the Taohe business?" ”

This is the purpose of his visit, although he can guess Wei Chi Jingde's attitude, but he still needs to confirm it in person.

Wei Chi Jingde pretended to think about it seriously, and said after a while: "It is indeed a direction, but the auxiliary brother also knows that the old man is a martial artist, and he has no experience in governing one side, and His Majesty sent the old man to only deal with the affairs of the army, and the old man does not dare to overstep his authority." ”

Regarding Wei Chi Jingde's words, the eldest grandson Wuji is to listen to it.

Don't dare to overstep your authority, what do you say, the old man is slacking?

"Brother Jingde is humble." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile, "But this time the Taohe business opened, after all, it affected the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and the old man was also worried that the Ming Dynasty was unwilling, presumably Brother Jingde also heard about the tragedy in the Chang'an Netherworld, right?" ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, his spearhead was directed at Daming.

Wei Chi Jingde didn't understand anything, and immediately said: "If it is a commercial competition, then the old man naturally can't." But if you want to use a knife and a gun, the auxiliary brother can rest assured that as the head of the march in Taohe County, the old man will definitely not allow any small offenders to commit any crimes. ”

Hearing what Yu Chi Jingde said, the eldest grandson Wuji was immediately relieved, this is Wei Chi Jingde's attitude.

……

On the other side, Sun Moon Mountain, Daming Palace.

Li Chengqian was walking on the way to be imprisoned when he saw Wu An running over in a hurry.

Seeing that it was him, Li Chengqian stopped and waited for a while, because this guy usually doesn't come to him if he doesn't have anything important.

"Your Highness, there is news from Taohe County." As soon as Wu An ran over, he hurriedly said, "Duke Qi hosted a banquet for officials from the two states at the Changming Restaurant yesterday and decided to ......."

Since the eldest grandson Wuji discussed this matter in the Changming Restaurant, he actually did not hide it from Li Chengqian, and the news reached Li Chengqian's ears in an instant, as he expected.

After listening to Wu An's words, Li Chengqian was a little surprised: "The action is fast enough." ”

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this move of the Duke of Qi will have a huge impact on my Da Ming's workshop." Wu An said with some concern.

Nowadays, Daming's biggest profit comes from many workshops, but what Taohe business is now set up by the eldest grandson Wuji in Taoyuan, isn't it a merchant who clearly intercepts Hu Daming?

From the position of Da Ming, the eldest grandson Wuji's move is undoubtedly looking for death!

"It doesn't matter." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Since the Tang Dynasty has begun, then this king can't slack off." ”

As for the eldest grandson Wuji's plan, he can roughly guess some.

But it doesn't matter, he originally deliberately contributed to the trouble, if it weren't for his promotion, Xu Jingzong would have been able to poach so many craftsmen from the six cities of the grassland?

"Go ahead." Li Chengqian said to Wu An again, "This king has his own arrangements for this matter. ”

Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously, Wu An also retired.

The blind trust in Li Chengqian made him firmly believe that Li Chengqian must have a successor, and some of those craftsmen were arranged by him.

After Wu An left, Li Chengqian smiled.

"Three days from now? Taohe firm? Treaty port? The appetite is not small. ”

Thinking like this, Li Chengqian turned around and walked towards the general supervisor.

By the time he arrived to be a prisoner, Zhang Erniu, Fang Blacksmith and others were ready.

"Your Highness, please move to the backyard." As soon as he saw Li Chengqian, Zhang Erniu hurriedly walked over.

Since Li Chengqian handed over the gunpowder matter to them, coupled with some rough opinions of Li Chengqian, not to mention, they really made gunpowder.

If you really want to say it, it's not that hard to make gunpowder.

Even without them, Li Chengqian could have done it himself.

It's just that Li Chengqian didn't want to get this thing out so early before, but now that Chang'an has gone to the front, Li Chengqian has to put gunpowder on the agenda.

Today, he learned that Zhang Erniu and they have already achieved results to see the effect of the experiment.

Looking at the dark appearance of Zhang Erniu and the others, Li Chengqian patted his shoulder and said, "It's hard for you." ”

"It's not hard." Zhang Erniu said, "Being able to share worries for His Highness and Daming is the blessing of Weichen and others." ”

For Li Chengqian, Zhang Erniu is really grateful from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for Li Chengqian, he would still be a hungry craftsman in Jingyang City, but now, he has changed, and he is also a person with official status.

And the daughter he misses is now not only a noble girl, but also a princess all day long, and he will definitely be able to find a good in-law in the future.

And all of this was brought by Li Chengqian.

So he is really grateful to Li Chengqian.

"Okay, let's go to the backyard." Li Chengqian nodded.

The backyard of the prison will be an ordinary backyard, because many of the things developed by the prison will be tested in the backyard, so the backyard is larger than the general martial arts arena.

"Your Highness, do you want to start now?" Zhang Erniu asked.

Li Chengqian nodded.

Seeing this, Zhang Erniu made a move, and one person immediately ran out.

I saw that about fifty steps away, several people were busy with something, and at this moment, Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Stop." ”

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Zhang Erniu was a little curious.

Li Chengqian said: "That's how you experiment on weekdays? ”

Zhang Erniu nodded blankly.

"You don't know how dangerous this thing is?" Li Chengqian was also speechless.

It's gunpowder!

Although you can't see clearly, the people present are not prepared at all, so why do you have to prepare a trench or something, right? Even if you dig a pit to do experiments, it's better than that, isn't it?

"Your Highness doesn't know." Zhang Erniu said, "Although this thing is dangerous, if you don't have an intuitive feeling, it will always take some time to study, but Your Highness can rest assured, the tests on weekdays are all done by Wei Chen and Fang Jiang himself, and now that this gunpowder has stabilized, Wei Chen let them do it." ”

What bullshit theory is this?

Li Chengqian was speechless.

He actually understood, that is, Zhang Erniu's ability to express himself was not enough, but when he heard Zhang Erniu say this, he no longer had the mind to reprimand Zhang Erniu.

Just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Pay attention to it in the future, compared to the research results, this king is more willing to see you still alive." ”

As soon as he heard Li Chengqian's words, Zhang Erniu's heart warmed, following such a Li Chengqian, he was really willing to die.

didn't stop the test anymore, Zhang Erniu gave an order, but after a while, an explosion sounded.

In an instant, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke left after the explosion, Li Chengqian shrugged his nose and subconsciously said, "It's still like this...... Yes, I will make another contribution to the prison this time!

But in the future, when doing such dangerous experiments, remember to put human life first!

By the way, the king has one more thing to command you, and you should come with it. ”

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Zhang Erniu immediately said: "Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen will leave and complete the task in time!" ”

"Hmm." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "At that time, this king wants to see who hit whom in the face!" ”
