Chapter 8: The Generation Gap
Hearing the statement like a fantasy, Yang Jian's face was full of questions, but Yang Yong was a little disdainful.
"King Jin, the ability to completely crush the firearms that you have now, I'm afraid you don't start talking nonsense for the sake of your father's favor."
"Brother Huang, did you think of such a weapon before I made a firearm?"
"I ......"
"Brother Huang, you can't figure it out, it doesn't mean that I can't do it, according to the current investment, it won't take two years, my next generation of firearms will definitely be built, Brother Huang dares to bet with me?"
Yang Yong was speechless for a while, although he didn't believe it, but Yang Guang was too confident that he had to believe it.
Yang Jian asked with a little doubt at this time: "Amour, can you really make such a firearm?" ”
"Father, I am not a person who speaks, in addition to firearms, there are also new warships, in order to attack Nanchen in the future, our new weapons of the Great Sui can be surprisingly successful, so Erchen doesn't think that we have to build a new firearms arsenal now, for Goguryeo and other places, it is mainly a deterrent, a small part of firearms is enough."
Seeing that this discussion continued, and his plan to build a firearms arsenal in Youzhou seemed to be about to go bankrupt, Yang Yong immediately retorted: "If that's not the case, without the support of firearms, our deterrence against Goguryeo and other places is insufficient." ”
"Brother Huang's confidence in our soldiers of the Great Sui is too low, but our soldiers have won the fierce Turks."
"That's also with the help of firearms."
"The actual number of firearms assembled is also insufficient."
"If there are no firearms, the casualties in this battle will inevitably increase a lot, is there a way to reduce the casualties and let our Great Sui soldiers go to death?"
"Brother Huang is a deterrent this time, and he may not necessarily fight, even if he fights, the current firearms manufacturing in Daxing City is enough to support."
"It's too slow!"
"Enough!"
……
The two did not let each other go and quarreled.
"Alright, stop arguing."
It was only after the emperor's drinking stopped that the two of them stopped.
The emperor paced back and forth in front of the two, Yang Yong glared at Yang Guang, and when the quarrel was on the table, he really found that Yang Guang was not giving an inch to him now, which made him extremely angry as the crown prince.
After thinking about it, the emperor said: "For the time being, I don't plan to build a firearms arsenal in Youzhou and other places, but we still have to prepare enough firearms this time, so as not to lose the opportunity in case of a war with insufficient firearms." ”
"Erchen understands that Erchen must let the firearms arsenal speed up production, so as not to miss the important event of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Yang Yong said anxiously: "Father, this ......"
"Needless to say, I've already decided, let's all step down."
Yang Yong walked out with an angry face, and Yang Guang also followed.
After going out and walking a little way, Yang Yong immediately turned around and challenged Yang Guang: "Second brother, what do you mean?" What are you doing with me? ”
"Brother Huang, don't talk nonsense, when did I go against you?"
"I'm thinking about the court and going to Youzhou to build a firearms arsenal, so you dare to quarrel with me in the court like this?"
"I don't want to quarrel with the imperial brother, it's just for the sake of national security."
Of course, Yang Yong didn't believe Yang Guang's rhetoric, and instead sneered: "Okay, very good, pretend, you wait." ”
Yang Guang looked at the back of Yang Courage rushing away, sighed, and said to himself: "Hey, it seems that I can't help it, after this quarrel, the conflict between me and the prince is on the table, and he can't give up, hey, trouble." ”
……
After the two princes left, Yang Jian said to the empty study, "Come out." ”
The person who came out of the rear was Gao Gong.
"Your Majesty."
"I've seen the situation just now, the two of them are not giving in to each other now, and they are arguing in front of me, a father and an emperor."
Gao Gong could hear the anger hidden in the emperor's tone, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.
The emperor's silence was so panicked that Gao Gong didn't even dare to look at him directly.
After waiting for a while, Yang Jian spoke: "The matter of firearms, King Jin's worries are the same as mine, if firearms are too popular, it is not a good thing for my rule at present, and ambitious people from all sides may also take the opportunity to make trouble, but they do have to use firearms, they can win the Turks, and they have to rely on firearms to win Nan Chen, and after unifying the Central Plains, I am afraid that they will have to hide the bow." ”
Gao Gong said: "Your Majesty, firearms are indeed new weapons, and they must not be mastered by foreign countries or people with intentions, His Royal Highness King Jin is right, national security is a priority." ”
After that, Yang Jian talked about the two of them again: "The King of Jin and the Prince have not hidden their respective thoughts, the prince wants the firearms of the King of Jin, and the King of Jin is unusually today, and he is-for-tat in front of me, both for me and for the prince to see, his core resources are absolutely unwilling to let go." ”
"Hey, it seems that in the future, I will continue to fight."
Gao Gong still did not speak.
"If I don't ask, are you going to pretend to be deaf and dumb all the time?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense about the two highnesses."
"If the two of them keep fighting, there will be more trouble in the future, forgive you for your innocence today, and think of a solution for me."
Gao Gong's face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, your family affairs minister still doesn't intervene." ”
"Your Majesty asked you to say it, and you said that when it was time to share your Majesty's worries, if you don't make a plan, what's the use of asking you?"
A majestic voice came, it was the queen mother who had arrived.
Queen Dugu was dressed in a phoenix robe with a phoenix painted on a black background, and she looked extremely solemn and majestic, and her tone of voice to Gao Gong seemed to be more serious than that of the emperor.
Gao Gong didn't dare to question Queen Dugu's words, and the emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with Queen Dugu's involvement.
"The two saints asked the old minister to say, and the old minister could only lick the old face and say."
Gao Gong sighed and said: "Lao Chen's family has three sons, the eldest son Sheng Dao, the second son Hongde, and the youngest son Cousin. ”
"Although Sheng Dao is the eldest son, but he has no opinions, his temperament is weak, and he is elegant, so the old minister asked him to be responsible for more things in the clan, and everything is explained clearly, clearly, he reads the book according to the book, and he does it well, but the old minister knows his character and ability, although he was not promoted as an official, according to his ability, it hurt him if he was promoted."
"The second son, Hongde, has a good literary style, is alert, and now he is on an errand in the Jin Palace, and he is doing quite well, and he is the most top-notch among the three brothers."
"The young son is benevolent, not the old minister boasts, smart, very smart, but his temperament is jumpy, and the scolding is ineffective, the old minister plans to let him go to a foreign country with Pei Shiqing to see the world next, his character is less than thirty years old, I am afraid that he will not be able to stabilize his mind, since he can't be stable, he will go out to see the world more."
"The three sons are all my sons, with the same father and mother, but the personalities are very different, the beloved son of the parents is far-reaching, the old minister for the three children to find a way to arrange things that are more suitable for their character ability, in the future there will be a family business to support, fight will definitely fight, but will not fight for the loss of brotherhood."
Gao Gong seemed to be afraid that what he said was too vague, and finally added: "The old minister and the third son have had a long talk, open and honest, and the father and son do not hide it." ”
The emperor pondered deeply, obviously he couldn't use Gao Gong's methods, the royal family business, how could a few words not hurt the feelings, it was always accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice.
The emperor sighed: "The three sons of your family have deep brotherly affection, they are really exemplary, and the brothers of the family can only prosper in order to perform their duties." ”
"Your Majesty, why should you worry, Your Majesty is in his prime, just let your children and grandchildren play well, and those who have the ability can also help Your Majesty earn more back."
Gao Gong tried to be as impartial as possible, but found that no matter how he said it, it seemed to be unfavorable to the prince.
The ability is not as good as that of King Jin, which is really on the bright side.
