Zhang Yishui, the Vice Minister of War, looked very unpleasant.
He hadn't seen any of the documents Qin Minglang mentioned.
Standing beside him, He Nian smiled faintly and praised him.
"Lord Zhang is truly a man of few words. With such a brilliant idea, why are the newly delivered chariots exactly the same as the originals? Do you perhaps think the patrol battalion is unworthy to use them?"
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone around him could hear it clearly.
Sweat beaded on Zhang Yishui's forehead. The patrol battalion was responsible for the safety of the capital, and no one dared to be careless in the slightest. He was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I am completely unaware of this matter."
Qin Minglang thought he was trying to steal the credit, so he immediately knelt down as well.
“Your Majesty, what I just said was merely a sudden inspiration; Lord Zhang truly did not know.”
When will he take over?
"Lord Qin's explanation was so detailed, and it was all a last-minute thought. His extraordinary ability is truly admirable."
Qin Minglang now considered himself the commander-in-chief and treated He Nian with great respect.
"Lord He is too kind. Only when the soldiers are safe and sound can we better protect our Great Zhou."
He said this and looked at Mo Yunzhao again.
"Your Majesty, although this was a last-minute idea, I am fully aware of all the details of the modifications and I am absolutely confident that I can build the chariot I described. I am willing to accept this task and will not fail Your Majesty's trust."
His will was unwavering.
But the surroundings fell silent once again.
Mo Yunzhao coughed lightly.
"I am very pleased that you have this idea, Qin Aiqing. I was worried that you would not be used to the position of supervisor of the construction department since you have been with the army for many years. Now it seems that this arrangement is excellent. From now on, you should study more in the Ministry of War."
Qin Minglang was completely confused.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I have many ideas on how to use the chariots after they are completed, and how to better apply them in the military camp. I would like to join the patrol battalion to better protect the capital."
Wang Hao scoffed.
"Qin Minglang, why don't you just ask the Emperor for the rank of chief general? You're really good at scheming."
Qin Minglang said angrily, "Deputy General Wang, I am only thinking about the soldiers of the patrol battalion and have not coveted any official position. Don't put your thoughts on my head."
Wang Hao rolled his eyes and pointed to the chariot on the far right.
"Why don't you take a look at this chariot before you speak? You said it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, a sudden flash of inspiration? I think you're a thief! You stole the blueprints for this new chariot from somewhere and came to show it off in front of the Emperor. You're shameless!"
