Oh my god!
I thought I was scolding a colleague who was holding me back, but I ended up scolding my immediate boss.
What did you just say?
Oh no.
The coffin lids of his eighteen generations of ancestors will be broken open, and his ancestors will be resurrected by his stupidity.
The Minister of War felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe. He felt a chill in his heart and could not help but touch his neck with his hand.
Is the head on your neck still there?
The Minister of War raised his head inch by inch, met the young emperor's deathly gaze, forced out a smile uglier than crying, and racked his brains to make up for it.
"Well……"
Damn it, I can't find any reason or excuse at all, okay?
The Minister of War had beads of sweat on his forehead and hesitantly said, "This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty. It's all because of the lack of dedication of the subordinates. They didn't tell Your Majesty the extraordinary features of the fire gun."
Young emperor death face.
A colleague whispered, "The traitor Gu Nanxi once gave the musket as a gift to Your Majesty."
Colleagues emphasized: "It's the only gift."
At that time, although the young emperor and Gu Nanxi had some minor frictions, their relationship was still very good. The elder sister was older than the younger brother.
The first gift that Gu Nanxi brought after going to Yunzhou was a musket, but only one musket.
Everyone in the imperial court knew about this, and they privately mocked Gu Nanxi for being too stingy, miserly, and not presentable enough.
Master Tong sighed secretly. What did Gu Nanxi say in the letter at that time?
[This thing can bring about a revolution in warfare. Although it has flaws, it has unlimited potential and is incredibly powerful...]
Gu Nanxi was sincere and told the truth, but no one believed her at the time.
Everyone thought that this thing couldn't be that great. Gu Nanxi must be reluctant to spend money and deliberately made up a lie to raise his value.
The Minister of War was speechless.
If I had known that I could become the Minister of War, I would not have been a stay-at-home. Why did I refuse my colleagues' invitation to drink? !
You didn’t even know about such a big gossip!
Since it is a gift of congratulations sent by Duke Yun, it will definitely be delivered to the emperor. Due to various considerations, the emperor will definitely touch it.
What you said is equivalent to saying that the government is blind and doesn't know the value of things!
The Minister of War felt a chill in his butt, and he was worried that his newly promoted position would be unstable.
The Minister of War lied pathetically: "A gentleman should not be under a dangerous wall. How can a new thing like a fire gun be guaranteed to be safe? It is normal for the official to have doubts."
After saying this, the Minister of War wanted to slap himself. Doesn't this mean that the young emperor is timid?
Forget it, just destroy it, it doesn’t matter if I am not qualified to be an official.
The Minister of War really didn't know how to excuse the young emperor.
He really wanted to ask the official, what is going on in your mind?
How could a hand of perfect cards turn out like this?
Duke Yun trusted you so much back then. When the Tartars marched south, she took three hundred men with her without saying a word and rushed thousands of miles away.
The seven towns of Yunzhou are so poor that they are pissing blood. It’s fine if you don’t give them money, but Duke Yun has worked hard to develop. Why don’t you say something nice and provide some emotional value!
The government, on the other hand, has repeatedly made various provocations.
But if you want to stir up trouble, you should at least know Yunzhou well! The Duke of Yun has thrust a powerful weapon like a musket in front of you, but you just pretended not to see it.
Even though God was feeding him, the official refused to open his mouth.
Now, God doesn’t want him anymore and favors his daughter.
The Minister of War stood there in a daze, pretending to be a statue.
Officials, you look at me, I look at you, we can't just keep silent, can we?
The official seemed to be stupid. He just sat there and looked at everyone sinisterly, which made everyone feel creepy.
Many officials secretly complained that the government looked at them as if to say, "You scum, are you worthy of me?" To be honest, they did not work hard for their salaries, but they did their job well.
Wasn't the one who was willing to work for free and was loyal, forced to rebel by the government itself?
My friend, let’s learn from the past!
“Snoring, snore…”
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that Lord Li had fallen asleep while standing!
The civil and military officials all had complicated expressions. Lord Li always managed to doze off at the most appropriate time. I admire him!
Seeing Lord Li acting like this, no official dared to show up.
As time passed, the young emperor became more and more depressed, almost to the point of water dripping out.
well……
Master Tong rubbed his head, secretly envying the late emperor for dying early so that he wouldn't have to deal with all these messy affairs.
Sure enough, the one who is left behind is the one who suffers the most.
"Okay. Let's talk about the first thing first. Do you want to negotiate peace?"
Everyone shuddered and pricked up their ears.
Peace talks?
This is something that everyone is familiar with! We have been doing it for many years, but in recent years, our skills have become rusty.
"Negotiation!"
"I second the motion!"
Passed unanimously.
Master Tong glanced at the young butler, who looked unhappy, but did not object.
Master Tong raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of bitterness. The emperor was still very aware of the current situation.
Master Tong: "How to negotiate peace? Everyone, think about it carefully after you go back, write a charter, and discuss it at the grand court meeting tomorrow. The second thing is about the Yunzhou cannon, can we copy it?"
The Minister of Works has some say on this point.
He shook his head. "A few days ago, I went to find the craftsmen. According to their speculation, Yunzhou's gunpowder formula is not the same as ours. When the musket was presented, it was only equipped with one bullet."
Naturally, this bullet was wasted because the eunuch wanted to check whether the musket was safe.
Someone suggested: "How about sending spies to Yunzhou?"
Since we can’t develop it, just steal it.
The Minister of War rolled his eyes: "There is a military workshop in Yunzhou, and the spies we sent can't get in at all."
Not to mention stealing the formula, they didn't even get a whim about a powerful weapon like the Yunzhou Cannon before it was officially deployed on the battlefield.
There is another option, which is to seize the goods. No one mentioned this.
Master Tong frowned, "Let's put this one aside for now. Lord Xuan, increase your infiltration into Yunzhou."
"Yes, sir!"
Master Tong knew that the court had been messed up by the young emperor in recent years, and if it was not sorted out, it would be ruined.
"The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War should jointly investigate the case and find out how the fire gun was concealed!"
Master Tong did not believe that all the civil and military officials in the court were good-for-nothings. There must be people who could see the specialness of the fire gun, but it was not until today that the fire gun officially entered the public's sight.
What does this mean?
It means there is a ghost!
Although a small number of officials are incompetent, most of them are talented.
If you are really determined to investigate, the clue will be found within five days.
"It was the director of the Ministry of Works, Yu Hengqing, who deliberately concealed it! He is the son-in-law of the traitor Gu Nanxi's adopted son, Chen Yixuan!" (End of this chapter)
