Chapter 503: Does His Majesty levy farts in person?
The autumn air is crisp and the wind is gentle and gentle.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Li Qing was sitting high on the throne, and hundreds of civil and military officials were lined up on both sides. The whole hall was filled with red, purple and crimson.
Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites, was in the middle, bowing and saying: "Your Majesty, the new batch of students from the Jiangwu Hall is about to graduate. Your Majesty has not returned yet. Should your Majesty personally issue graduation certificates to the students?"
Su Lu said: "Okay, it just so happens that I want to personally conquer the North with my chariot, and I will also take them with me to practice and see the bloody battle on the battlefield."
Qian Qianyi bowed in return: "I will make arrangements for graduation when I get back."
The rest of the ministers of the Ministry of Industry reacted the fastest. They jumped out first and said with a shocked expression: "I have this memorial. Your Majesty must not take charge of the expedition personally. The barbarians in the northern country are fierce. If it harms the face of the Tian family, you will treat me like this."
Where are the officials of the Han Dynasty working?"
Yang Biao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, also stood up quickly: "I agree that your Majesty must not go on a personal expedition. There is a solution to everything. The generals in the north can't do it, and the generals in the south. Even if they can't help, there is still the prince to hold the battle.
"
Pang De also stood up and said in a loud voice: "They are just barbarians, why do you need your Majesty to personally conquer them? If the prince really can't spare any time, there are still ministers, there are..."
Pang De was suddenly at a loss for words. The generals in the capital were really useless. The generals in the north were beaten to pieces. The generals in the south, Zhang Lu and Dong Cheng were both generals brought out by the prince. They were similar to Su Ping and Li Kun.
Yes, they can't handle it, and it will definitely not help if Su Ping and Li Kun come.
In this matter, apart from the prince taking action, His Majesty really can only do it himself.
Zhou Yuan, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, this matter cannot be solved even if you take action."
Next to him, Zhou Ping, the Minister of War, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that for the present plan, if the prince cannot come out, it is the best way for your Majesty to lead the expedition in person."
Yang Biao directly reprimanded Zhou Ping: "Your Majesty is personally conducting the expedition. If something happens to your Majesty, will you, Zhou Ping, be responsible, or will the military department behind you be able to shoulder this responsibility?"
Pang De said unhappily next to him: "Mr. Yang, please be careful. Master Zhou is just stating the facts. If the facts are the responsibility of the Ministry of War, we are not so bold."
For a time, there were endless debates and discussions in the court, and Qinzheng Hall was like a lively market.
Li Qing glared at Gao Zhan. Gao Zhan took two steps forward and stood on the edge of the imperial steps. He said with deep breath in his voice: "My lords, you have already prepared your instructions. If you have nothing to do, please withdraw from the court."
The courtroom immediately became quiet.
Li Qing stood up and said, "Since nothing happens, I will retreat from the court."
After finishing speaking, Li Qing walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
The group of ministers and ministers all stared. Yang Biao was the oldest, and he was the first to speak up: "It is absolutely impossible for the imperial commander to go on a personal expedition. I want to see your majesty. This is absolutely impossible."
Next to him, Zhou Yuan sighed and said: "Your Majesty's personal expedition cannot solve the problem. The barbarians in the north have revolted, and only the prince can solve it."
Next to him, Pang De also agreed and said: "The generals in the north are not good enough, and the veteran generals in the capital are also not good enough. Your Majesty will go down, and it will be for nothing."
Qian Qianyi pinched his beard and said, "Let's go to the Chancellor's Study Room to remonstrate with us. If we don't believe it, His Majesty will not take back the order."
A group of ministers arrived at the minister's room. The little eunuch who was guarding the door waved his whisk and said:
"Your Majesty has decreed that if all of you ministers want to see me, you can come directly to the Ordnance Department."
Everyone looked at Yu with angry eyes. Your Majesty went to your Ordnance Department, but you didn't even say a word.
Yu Wei slapped her thigh: "Your Majesty mentioned that she was going to the Ordnance Department today, but I didn't expect that she would go to the Ordnance Department without even returning to the study room."
Everyone hurriedly left the palace and rushed to the Ordnance Department.
In the Ordnance Department, Su Lu was watching Taoist Zhenyuan and several craftsmen from the Ordnance Department making the internal energy conversion cabinet. He would occasionally ask questions about things he didn't understand, and also give a few pointers.
After hearing what Su Lu said, Taoist Zhenyuan would sometimes shake his head and think it was impossible, but most of the time, he would hold his head and look at the place Su Lu pointed out, frowning and thinking hard.
Mingyue said next to her: "My lord, please stop talking. If you keep talking, my master will trim off his beard."
Under the feet of Taoist Zhenyuan, there are already all kinds of gray beards and beards. I don’t know if they are hair or beards.
Su Lu laughed: "You, you still haven't received the true inheritance from your master. If you were half as good as your master, you would have thought about the words I just said for a long time."
Mingyue muttered beside her: "Crankshaft conversion, this straight axis is replaced by a crankshaft. Although the route of the inner breath is longer, the space will increase, the capacity will increase, and..."
Qingfeng tugged on Mingyue's sleeve: "What are you thinking about? What about crankshaft conversion?"
Mingyue rolled her eyes at him: "I want to go. The prince is right. Through improvement, the failed details of Master Mu Yuan can be corrected."
Qingfeng rolled his eyes: "Tch, if these straight ones are changed into curves, can the birds created by the master fly for three days and three nights? The master failed the assessment that year because he didn't learn the true skills. I guess it's a shame."
When Li Qing arrived, the old man Zhenyuan was putting a shaft polished into a curved shape, muttering in his mouth, it seemed like this in his mind, but it seemed not like this, he should try the words like this first.
Li Qing asked strangely: "What's wrong with Taoist Master Zhenyuan? What can happen if you change it like this?"
Su Lu smiled and said: "With this change, his old guy will be able to pass the assessment and become an official disciple of the Lu family."
Li Qing took Su Lu's arm and smiled like a flower: "Will our team be helpful in this northern expedition?"
Su Lu watched the inner information conversion cabinet being assembled and installed in the bird, and said with a smile:
"We'll find out later. I estimate that with this change, the flying speed and flight time of the birds will be greatly improved. The Taixi people may no longer be our opponents."
Before he finished speaking, a group of ministers rushed into the Ordnance Department and knelt down next to Li Qing.
"Your Majesty, no matter how powerful this bird is, you can't control it and conquer it yourself."
"Your Majesty, if there is a slight mistake and the emperor is injured, I will die without mercy."
"Your Majesty, the country is the most important thing."
Su Lu looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground in confusion, pointed at Zhou Yuan who was kneeling at the outermost corner and said:
"Zhou Yuan, what did you say just now? Say it again?"
When Zhou Yuan heard this, he raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, I say that even if your Majesty leads the expedition in person, he is no match for the barbarians in the North. He is still... Your Majesty!"
Zhou Yuan stood up in surprise, but after walking a few steps, he immediately knelt down.
"Zhou Yuan has met the prince, and the prince is safe."
The ministers who were kneeling and shouting also raised their heads, saw Su Lu, and stood up one after another.
"With the prince here, the northern border is safe."
"The prince is back, and the crisis in the North will be resolved."
"The barbarians are afraid that they will retreat when they hear the name of the prince. In those days, the Tulle children used the name of the prince to stop crying."
