Chapter 624: Current situation in the Ministry of War
Who would do such a thankless job?
All officials bowed their heads and remained silent.
The emperor seemed to just ask a casual question, and immediately ordered two thousand imperial guards to be dispatched by Jing Zhaoyi. He also ordered Jing Zhaoyi to solve the case within a month, otherwise he would bring it to court.
Qi Baoer glanced at the slightly thin Jing Zhaoyi from the corner of his eye. This girl was just pretending to be sad at first, but now she was almost crying.
I want to laugh a little bit.
It seems that the emperor won this battle.
The imperial court lasted for nearly three hours. At the end, everyone said something and Qibaoer didn't even pay attention to it. She didn't get involved anyway.
She stood up straight, her eyes open, and her sleep was gone.
When he was leaving the court, it was the Minister who elbowed her, so she didn't stand out from the crowd when all the officials knelt down to see the emperor off.
As soon as the holy driver left, she saw that among the ministers, who were usually more dignified than the last, some stood up and shook their legs, some sat directly on the ground and rubbed their legs, and some hurriedly left with their legs crossed.
The inexperienced Qi Bao'er was really stunned by this scene for a moment, but after thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand. Standing three hours, the generals are better, and the civil servants who have no power to restrain the chicken can persist.
I guess it all comes down to perseverance.
There is also a more private issue. This person has three urgent needs, three hours, and he is not going crazy.
It's no wonder that when the officials were resting at Wen Yisuo's place, the pastries were occasionally touched, but no one was seen touching the tea.
Shang Chengfeng gently shook his legs sometimes, sometimes pressed his toes gently, and looked at Qi Bao'er with some envy and jealousy beside him, who was still standing upright and looking very energetic.
It’s good to be young!
Wait for the numbness in your calf to subside and say, "Let's go to the Ministry of War with me."
"Yes." She didn't know the way to the Ministry of War, so why not just wait here.
Under the various gazes, either covertly or directly, Shang Chengfeng and Qi Baoer left one behind the other, expressionless and calm.
Zheng Xiang chuckled lightly, glanced sideways at the gloomy-looking Zuo Xiang opposite him, and left at a leisurely pace.
A man wearing the uniform of a minister of the Ministry of Industry walked up to the left prime minister, glanced in the direction of the palace door, and said uncertainly: "Sir...???"
The left prime minister gave him a warning look, "Go back first."
"yes."
The six yamen are all located within the palace, but they are far away from the harem and not even close to the front palace. Enter through the east side door, then go east again, pass through an imperial lane more than 300 meters long, and turn to the left
: the three departments of officials, households, and soldiers. To the right: the three departments of punishment, work, and rites.
It sounds close, but in fact there is a certain distance between each department, and they will not interact with each other unless there is official business.
Even after exiting the royal lane, there are independent roads leading to each department.
On weekdays, people from the Sixth Department would not all go through the east side door. There was a corner door not far from here, and that was where the people from the Sixth Department went in and out of the palace.
Walking up the path to the Ministry of War, Shang Chengfeng motioned to Qi Bao'er to come closer and told her about the current situation of the Ministry of War.
First, the only people currently in charge of the Ministry of War are Shang Chengfeng, the minister, and her, the newly appointed minister.
The Ministry of War has the responsibility of supervising the army.
——The Japanese country in the east has always violated our coastal border in the past two years. The defenders did not submit a "war application" to the court last year. The emperor agreed. Naval warfare has never been the strong point of the Qilin Kingdom, but this time the defenders did not
Bian said that he had already trained a navy that was good at naval warfare, so the imperial court attached great importance to the battle with the Japanese. Naturally, the Ministry of War also attached great importance to it, and sent a minister to supervise the army.
——When the situation between our country and the Japanese country was tense, Mengguo, which had always had a good relationship with our country in the southeast, began to continuously mobilize troops to the border adjacent to our country. There is no such thing as training troops here, and troop deployment also means
There's going to be a war.
Because Meng Kingdom has always been very obedient, even though it does not have the name of a vassal state, Qilin Kingdom and Meng Kingdom have always had a master-subordinate relationship in the eyes of other countries. Most of the courtiers on the Qilin Kingdom side also think so.
Even the emperor is not very defensive about Mengfeng.
Therefore, the army stationed at the border with Meng Country is not an elite army, and even the general is not a very strong person.
Relying on them, it is obvious that if the Meng Kingdom sends troops, it will not be able to stop it.
You should send other generals. Although the Qilin Kingdom has many capable generals, the country is large and has many places to protect. The Qilin Kingdom actually lacks generals who can lead troops. Otherwise, the Meng Kingdom would not just send a capable general.
Generally, he is promoted to be the commander-in-chief.
As for the generals who were still in the capital during the previous dynasty, it is not that they cannot be sent, but that they are not suitable.
Those military generals are divided into two categories. One category is that they lead their own soldiers, but they stay in the capital temporarily due to injuries or some reasons. After the injury is cured or things are done, they have to return to their base.
.
The second type is those who have served in the army, but have been extremely seriously injured and can no longer go to the battlefield. They are left in the capital to be raised. The emperor will not let these generals return to the battlefield unless it involves the destruction of the country and the family.
Go for it.
No, in order to prevent the gatekeepers on the Japanese side from encountering the risk of being attacked from both sides, another minister went to the border adjacent to the Meng Kingdom. This one was not supervising the first army, but leading the troops.
——There is another person, this one is a bit more miserable. He was ambushed on the way back to Beijing by the First Army at the end of last year and suffered serious internal injuries. Now he can only rest at home.
After hearing this, Qi Baoer's face turned green.
What does this mean?
She was the only one of the four assistant ministers who could do the job. In other words, she had to do the work of the four assistant ministers by herself when she first took office?
"I don't think I'm ready to be a servant yet." He turned around and wanted to run away.
Just having fun, people are going to die.
No wonder this bad old man was so friendly to her when they first met. It turned out that he saw free labor in his eyes.
Shang Chengfeng showed a reaction ability that was beyond his years. He turned around and grabbed Qi Bao'er who was about to run away. "Shilang Qi, please come back to me."
After entering the Ministry of War, do you still want to escape?
Qi Bao'er turned her head and looked at him pitifully, raising her finger to point at her face, "Sir, look at me, my fifteenth birthday is still a few months away, you have the heart to do something like harming seedlings.
No?"
"Have no patience." Shang Chengfeng's face showed no emotion.
The emperor has already said that there is no problem with you.
Shang Chengfeng didn't even let go of his grip and directly dragged Qi Bao'er towards the military headquarters.
Therefore, everyone in the Ministry of War witnessed such a scene that shocked the world early in the morning:
Their strict and rigid minister, who could stop a child from crying, actually dragged a little girl who was so beautiful that she didn't look like a real person.
Lord Shangshu, you actually do this...such, this and that?
Taking a closer look at the little girl, the clothes on her body look familiar. Isn't this their waiter's uniform?
Good guy, Lord Shangshu actually dragged the new Lord Minister.
"Sir, let go, let go, I won't leave, I won't leave, my image, my lord, my image."
