Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Nine: News of Chenggao's Hunting Together

The next day, Li Huan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Xu Guan, the left minister, and Li Jin, the chief minister of the Military Casting Bureau, came to the official residence of the Smelting Bureau.

When these three people stepped off the carriage, two teams of soldiers guarding the door of the official residence of the Metallurgical Bureau were also looking at these three people.

"Stop...this is the important place of the Smelting Bureau."

A guard captain stepped forward to stop Li Huan and others, and carefully looked at the official uniforms of Li Huan, Xu Guan, Li Jin and others.

Scarlet, scarlet official uniform...

The visitor is an important official of the court...

A smile appeared on the face of the captain of the guard, and he added: "I wonder why these adults came to the Smelting Bureau..." At this point, he suddenly recognized Li Jin, who had just been here a few days ago, and was surprised.

Called: "Li Jucheng?"

Seeing this, Li Jin, the chief minister of the Military Casting Bureau, took a few steps forward, raised his hands and said, "Guys, these are Lord Li (Wan), the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Lord Xu (Guan), the left minister. We would like to see His Highness King Su."

.”

"I've met Lord Shangshu, I've met Lord Minister."

The guards outside the Yezao Bureau quickly saluted Li Huan and Xu Guan. At the same time, after saluting, the guard captain said with regret: "This is really unfortunate. His Royal Highness Prince Su has been there recently."

I haven’t been to the Smelting Bureau for several days.”

When he said this, his expression looked a little strange. It seems that the gossip that King Su Zhao Hongrun was furious because of the incident with the Bingzhu Bureau had already reached the ears of these soldiers and guards.

"His Royal Highness King Su is not in the Smelting Bureau?...What should I do, sir?" Xu Guan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, looked back at Li Huan, the minister of the Ministry of War.

Li Huan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk after we go in first."

Hearing this, Xu Guan nodded and said to the captain of the guard: "Can you let me wait in the official office?"

"Um..." The guard captain showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said hesitantly: "It's not that you, my lords, are unwilling to let you go because of your humble position. It's really... we are only on duty here and have no right to let you go."

This is not a perfunctory statement by the captain of the military guard. The reason is that there are no guards in the Smelting Bureau. However, as the Smelting Bureau becomes more and more important in the court, the military guard will

Several teams of soldiers were dispatched to maintain law and order in the Smelting Bureau area.

Therefore, fundamentally speaking, the guards on duty outside the official offices of the Metallurgical Bureau do not belong to the Metallurgical Bureau. They and the Metallurgical Bureau belong to two different systems. Therefore, these soldiers have no authority to decide whether to release Li Huan.

Wait for people to come in.

What's more important is...

The captain of the military guard glanced at the wooden sign hanging outside the door of the official office. It clearly engraved a line of words, the Ministry of War and dogs are not allowed to enter!

"I'm afraid I'm so bold that I stopped the three adults outside the house."

The captain of the guard said with a troubled face.

Following the direction where the captain of the military guard pointed his gaze, Li Huan, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xu Guan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, saw the insulting wooden sign.

Li Huan: "..."

Xu Guan: "..."

Seeing this, Li Jin, the Chief of the Bingzhu Bureau, frowned and stepped forward and said, "Can you inform me on your behalf? We would like to see Mr. Wang Fu, the Chief of the Bureau."

After hearing this, the soldier's expression became even more embarrassing, and after a while he shook his head in embarrassment.

"This is simply...unreasonable!"

There was a bit of anger in Xu Guan's eyes.

It’s no wonder that once upon a time, the Ministry of War had never paid attention to such a small Metallurgical Bureau. But now, this Metallurgical Bureau dared to block the Minister of the Ministry of War outside the official office, and also deliberately hung a banner insulting the Ministry of War outside the residence.

The wooden sign is simply unreasonable!

He was angry, but Xu Guan didn't dare to go forward and smash the wooden sign to pieces. After all, why did they come to resolve the conflict with the Smelting Bureau? What's more, the Smelting Bureau hated their military department so much.

Their military department also has factors that cannot be evaded.

Plan for today...

Li Huan stared at the wooden sign for a long time and already had an idea in his mind.

"Let's go to the Ministry of Industry." After saying that, Li Huan turned back to the carriage.

Seeing Li Huan and others leaving obediently, the guards outside the gate of the Metallurgical Bureau could be said to have breathed a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Right now, His Highness King Su and the Smelting Bureau are angry with the Ministry of War and the Bingzhi Bureau. But if they are involved in the military guards, it will be an unreasonable disaster.

But what these soldiers and guards didn't expect was that about half an hour later, the carriage Li Huan and others were riding in came back again.

Why are you here again?

The captain of the guard had a bitter look on his face, and was about to step forward to stop him, when he suddenly saw an old minister of the Central Government, Cao Zhi, the Minister of Industry, stepping out of the carriage after Li Huan, the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"That's it."

I saw Li Huan and Cao Zhi walking to the gate of the Smelting Bureau's official office together, pointing to the wooden sign engraved with the Ministry of War and Dogs Not Allowed, and said with a somewhat unswerving expression.

"Oh hehe..."

Cao Zhi, Minister of Industry, glanced at the wooden sign and chuckled.

Immediately, he said to the captain of the military guard: "I am Cao Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Please take my place and report to Mr. Wang Fu, the Chief of the Metallurgical Bureau."

"……yes."

The guard captain hurried into the house.

Seeing this, Cao Zhi turned to look at Li Huan, but before he could speak, he heard Li Huan say unhappily: "As I said, I owe you once."

"Oh hehe..." Cao Zhi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, chuckled.

As expected, it didn't take long before Wang Fu, the slightly fat Prime Minister of the Metallurgical Bureau, rushed out of the house. He didn't even bother to adjust his breathing, and saluted Cao Zhi, the Minister of Industry.

"The lower official, Wang Fu, has met Master Shangshu."

It’s no wonder, after all, the Ministry of Industry was the former superior of the Metallurgical Bureau, and Cao Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was the immediate boss of Wang Fu, the former chief of the Metallurgical Bureau. The Metallurgical Bureau could not give face to anyone in the Ministry of War, but

I believe that no one in the Smelting Bureau will ignore Cao Zhi, the amiable Minister of the Ministry of Industry who smiles all day long.

"Wang Jucheng is too polite. Your office is no longer under my Ministry of Work. There is really no need to salute me."

"What are you talking about, Lord Shangshu? Although our Metallurgical Bureau is independent, we are still half of the Ministry of Industry." At this point, Wang Fu turned his head and glanced at Li Huan, Xu Guan, and Li Jin, with expressions on their faces.

His expression immediately dropped.

To be fair, according to Wang Fu's character, he didn't have the guts to look down on Li Huan, Xu Guan, Li Jin and others. But the problem was that Zhao Hongrun had already sent someone to inform him and asked him to pretend that he didn't want to see the Ministry of War. The reason was,

Wang Fu can roughly guess it.

After looking at Li Huan and the other three, Wang Fu looked at Cao Zhi and said with a wry smile: "Master Shangshu, you are doing this... It's really embarrassing for my subordinates."

"Oh haha." Cao Zhi smiled kindly, waved his hand and said, "How about you give me some face and invite these three adults to come in together, and then send someone to invite His Highness Prince Su to come over and talk to me?"

Wang Fu deliberately pretended to be embarrassed. After struggling for a long time, he finally said, "I can't guarantee that His Highness Prince Su will come."

"Mention my name...my old face is of some use in front of His Highness Prince Su."

"Oh well……"

Wang Fu pretended to be helpless and nodded.

At the same time, where is Zhao Hongrun? He is in the Prince Yi Mansion of his uncle Zhao Yuanli.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun has been quite bored these days.

You know, he has gradually become accustomed to going to the Smelting Bureau every day as an errand. However, in order to maintain the image of King Su who is still angry, Zhao Hongrun has not been to the Smelting Bureau recently, waiting for the Military Casting Bureau or the Ministry of War to come to his door.

Come.

To be honest, it's really boring to suddenly become idle after getting used to being busy.

Fortunately, Uncle Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli had decided to settle in Daliang, which finally gave Zhao Hongrun a companion to pass the time.

But today, while chatting with Uncle Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli, Zhao Hongrun heard something that interested him quite a lot.

"Chenggao Heshou?...What is that?"

"Don't you know?" Zhao Yuanli, the uncle of the Sixth Prince, glanced at Zhao Hongrun strangely and explained: "Your father, the Emperor, sent the Ministry of Rites to take charge of this matter and invited the leaders of several large tribes in Yinrong to hunt together near Chenggao Pass."

It's so good, why invite foreigners to hunt together?

Zhao Hongrun wrinkled, and suddenly, his heart moved slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Is it just to borrow a way?"

The excuse he mentioned refers to the fact that at the end of the year, his third uncle, the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo, led the 50,000 new troops to support Longxi. To this end, he "borrowed" the Yinrong tribe living in the Sanchuan area to prevent the other party from being destroyed by the Wei State.

The large-scale dispatch of troops was doubtful, leading to unnecessary conflicts.

"Exactly." Uncle Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli nodded and said seriously: "From Chenggao Pass to Longxi, we have to pass through many Yinrong tribes living in the land of Sanchuan. If we can reach a tacit understanding with them, your third uncle will conquer the west.

It will be much more convenient to support Longxi... If not, it may damage the decades-old harmony between the Wei Dynasty and Yin Rong."

"harmony?"

Zhao Hongrun played with the wine glass in his hand and said calmly: "They have invaded the Sanchuan River of Wei Dynasty and harassed the border from time to time for decades. Can this be considered harmony? They are simply evil neighbors!"

"Evil neighbor?" Zhao Yuanli couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, but after laughing a few times, he said with emotion: "Indeed. However, I, the Wei Dynasty, are not yet able to take the one named Sanchuan from that evil neighbor.

The backyard is back, so it is necessary to maintain the current situation... Although they are foreigners, the threat to our Wei Dynasty from Yinrong is far smaller than that from Chu and Han, isn't it?"

Zhao Hongrun had no way to refute this.

It is undeniable that Zhao Yuanli, the Sixth Prince's uncle, is right. Yinrong is different from Han and Chu. The former took the opportunity to occupy the land of Sanchuan when Wei was weak, just to get the fertile land and abundant water resources to reproduce.

tribe, they did not dominate

The Central Plains has the goal of dominating the world; but Han and Chu are different. These countries attack each other not to seize more territory for the people. Their ultimate goal is to conquer the other countries in the Central Plains and unify the world. This is the relationship between the Central Plains countries and

The most essential difference between foreigners.

Therefore, from this perspective, the threat to Wei from countries such as Han and Chu was far greater than that of the Yinrong tribe who "forced to stay" in Sanchuan, the "backyard" of Wei.
