Chapter 562 The new card and the Lu family make trouble
In the Chancellor's study room, Su Lu was sitting behind the imperial desk, dealing with today's memorial.
Several young eunuchs stood aside, and people kept coming forward, picking up the memorial that Su Lu had thrown away, then turning around and going out, handing the memorial to the Ouchi guard on duty outside.
An imperial guard came in and reported:
"Reporting to your lord, Mr. Zhou Ping, the Minister of War, would like to see you."
Su Lu asked Zhou Ping to come in. When he saw Zhou Ping fuming, Su Lu put down the memorial in his hand and asked:
"Old Zhou, if you are angry, you can go home or vent your anger in front of your military department. When you get to the imperial study, there is no need to show off your anger to me."
Zhou Ping sighed: "My lord, those people from the Lu family don't dare to come to you, but they come to me for an official position. I have told them dozens of times that if I can build a fighting ship, I will give it to them immediately."
The head of the Jin War Shipping Company."
"But some people don't believe it. Lu Jiuxiao came, Lu Teng came, Lu Yuan came, and Lu Zhan came. I was almost annoyed to death by the Lu family."
Su Lu shook his head helplessly: "If you come to me for this matter, then I really can't help you. They didn't come to me to ask for an official."
Zhou Ping shook his head helplessly, "By the way, Your Majesty, there is news from Jiameng Pass that our army has obtained a strong crossbow. It was discovered by this boy Lin Gang. The Yingte people were defeated and hid the strong crossbow they carried with the army.
Under the camp, if Lin Gang hadn't been sharp-eyed, we would have missed this powerful crossbow."
Su Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, Dong Ling is really reliable in her work. She got this powerful crossbow back. It's not in vain that I blessed her with the leader card and the fate card."
Zhou Ping looked stunned: "General card? Fate card? What are these? Is this a new strategy that you have recently come up with, my lord?"
Su Lu waved his hand: "Okay, I understand the matter. Lao Zhou, if you have nothing to do, go ahead and get busy."
Go and get busy if you have nothing to do?
Zhou Ping came out of the study room with a confused look on his face. He didn't understand what happened to the prince today and his speech was incoherent.
In the Shang Shu's room, Su Lu let out a long breath and looked at the card interface in front of him, looking a little confused.
There are actually several new cards released.
Level 1 Arbalest Card
Level 2 elite card
Level 1 Mixed Army Formation Card
Three new cards appeared, including individual soldier cards and military array cards. Su Lu was a little surprised as to how these three cards appeared.
While he was thinking about it, Chang Ning helped Li Qing into the study room.
"Why are you so dazed and don't handle government affairs properly?"
Li Qing stood in front of Su Lu, placed a plate of grapes in front of Su Lu, twirled one and ate it before asking.
Su Lu also took one and put it in his mouth. This should be the first grape harvest this year. It was sweet but also had a hint of sourness. He didn't expect Li Qing to eat it so happily.
"I thought of a new military formation."
Su Lu talked about the newly discovered level 1 mixed military array card.
This is a card for mixed combat with the three armies of crossbow artillery, bird soldiers, and infantry. The difference from the campaign card is that the type of sergeant is limited, and the number of sergeants that can be covered is limited.
Li Qing narrowed his eyes when he heard this and asked with a smile:
"Tell me about it and see if I can command this new military formation?"
Su Lu explained the battle formation once, and suddenly thought that he had never seen Li Qing's fate card before.
Elite Card: Li Qing
Fate Card: Level 2 Elite Soldier Card
Su Lu was a little confused. What was going on? There was only one fate card, and it was only a level 2 elite soldier card. This really opened his eyes.
Li Qing is also a soldier who only knows how to be reckless.
"With all due respect, I'm afraid you don't have the talent to lead an army."
Su Lu smiled and told Li Qing that fate cards generally represent people's talents. Since talents are elite soldier cards, they can only serve as soldiers and have no chance of commanding the battle.
Li Qing looked disappointed: "Yeah, I don't understand this military formation. I feel it's not as easy to deal with as government affairs. Even the piles of papers are more pleasing to the eye than this military formation."
Chang Ning comforted him and said:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. We don't understand, but the prince understands. As long as the prince understands military formations and you don't understand, no one in this country can deceive your majesty."
Li Qing waved his hands indifferently: "I'm not worried about that. I was so stupid before, and the prince defeated Qin Di, Thule, and Rouran. I have nothing to worry about."
"Even for Qin, Chu and Qi, it's just a matter of holding on for a few more years. There's nothing to worry about."
"What I'm thinking about is my baby. I'm so stupid, but the prince is a military god who dominates the battlefield. I'm holding him back. The baby born is not smart at all."
Su Lu comforted her and said:
"If you are stupid, you should read more. Reading good books can enlighten your wisdom and make stupid people smart. Don't worry. From now on, your children will go to the martial arts hall to study, and they will always be able to read."
Li Qing was a little worried, with his hands on his hips and his right hand holding his bulging belly:
"I don't want to go to the martial arts hall to study. I grew up in a deep palace. I just summoned ministers into the palace to serve as lecturers. Why let my children study outside the palace? It's so dangerous."
Su Lu shook his head and helped Li Qing sit down on the throne:
"If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and don't practice what you do, how can you know about other people's sufferings? How can you be a good emperor if you don't know the sufferings? The Martial Arts Hall selects young men who know their roots and have a clean family background. How can they be in danger?"
Li Qing raised his face and looked at Su Lu with his head full of admiration:
"What you said always makes sense, but we have to wait until he grows up."
Chang Ning smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, the youngest young man selected for the martial arts hall now has to be fourteen years old. Even if His Majesty is earlier than everyone else, he can still stay with His Majesty for another thirteen years."
Li Qing waved his hand: "Go, go, don't speak for me. Instead, you are trying to find a way to speak for the prince. See if I don't find a few opportunities to marry you off."
Changning didn't take it seriously and continued to pour water for Li Qing with a smile.
Li Qing picked up a memorial on the imperial case: "I met Zhou Ping when I came here just now. I heard from him that the new craftsmen in the Ordnance House went directly to Zhou Ping to ask for an official position. How unbecoming is this?"
"Our country of Han treats craftsmen well, but we do not make them lawless. If this continues, not a single craftsman from the Lu family will be left alive."
Under the guidance of the young eunuch, the real veteran who was walking into the study room staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter is not the fault of my compatriots, it will still fall on me."
"Before my family moved here, I promised them that the prince had already promised me two positions as ministers, and these two are theirs. They couldn't talk to me, so they kept bothering Shangshu Zhou."
Li Qing shook his head: "Taoist Master Zhenyuan, you don't need to plead for them. I see everything you do. This time I can spare their lives for your sake."
"The death penalty can be spared, but the living crime is unavoidable. Go back and tell them that if they cannot build a few usable stern warships within a year, they will be punished at the same time."
The real veteran said quickly: "Your Majesty, if they complete the task ahead of schedule, Mengyou Fighting Ship, this reward..."
"You promised to be in charge and in charge, well, I will also agree to what you promised them. When the stern battleship is launched, it will be the time when your Lu family company comes out of the sixth rank and the sixth rank."
