Chapter 102

102. Chapter 102

Ming Yu rubbed his numb knees and stood up. Then he burst into laughter. He leaned forward and said with a smile: "My father is the best, and my son thanked my father." The

emperor glared at him helplessly . At a glance, I don't know who I learned from this skinless and faceless look.

He picked up the crossbow on the table and asked Ming Yu, "What is this?" He had already seen it. Don't underestimate this thing, its lethality is very strong. According to the report of the inspector, this thing can be fatal in one blow, and the guard was killed by the short arrow fired by this thing.

Of course Ming Yu couldn't hide it, "This is called a crossbow. It's a craftsman's workshop, er! It was made by the craftsmen that my son asked for from his father when he left the capital. It can be used for self-defense."

Seeing that the emperor did not understand, Ming Yu simply explained its usage directly, "This thing is more convenient to use, not as difficult as bows and arrows. Bows and arrows need to pay attention to accuracy, strength, and require years of training to have certain results. And it only needs to move the fingers to become , Erchen has never learned archery, and can use it easily. And even though it is small, it is very powerful, and its range is not inferior to that of a bow and arrow." He paused, gestured with both hands, and happily released a big news, " In fact, if this is made larger in proportion, it can play a big role in sieging the city or defending the city. It's just that it is still in the experiment and has not been officially put into production."

"Oh?" The emperor seemed very interested after hearing Ming Yu's words. . It sounds like this possibility is very high. If this is the case, the defense of the border will be more guaranteed.

Ming Yu hit the snake with the stick at this time, and said with a smile: "Father, look, there are too few craftsmen in the borderlands, and the previous craftsmen can't be busy at all, you see..."

Zhizi Mo Ruofu, what is Ming Yu thinking about, how could the emperor not know, this is because he wants to woo him again, but this is not a big deal. The emperor waved his sleeves, "Okay, if you have time, go and ask for it yourself. How many people you can ask is entirely up to you. I won't help you.

" , this will not be difficult for him, these people are the more the better, and he has to rely on these people to build his own territory.

There are not many craftsmen in the craftsmanship, and as they settled down in Liangcheng, they also began to invent. If the entire Liangzhou wants to develop rapidly, it is inseparable from what these people have researched, and each of them is related to the development of Liangcheng.

After the meticulous work of the craftsman last time, he does not dare to let go of recruiting craftsmen in Liangcheng now. He has already decided that the main core of the craftsmen brought by Beijing is that the research is confidential and must not be leaked. And these people are a minority after all, and the lack of manpower is his biggest headache now.

This time in Beijing, of course, we must make good use of this opportunity and fool some people. Only a craftsman from Beijing can fully trust him.

However, what the emperor didn't know was that his words today made the Minister of Industry come to complain and report. Duan Wangye took the order and took away most of the craftsmen. The civil engineering capital in Beijing is seriously short of manpower, and the project is probably delayed.

This made the emperor wonder whether to laugh or cry, this old fourteen, really did not let go! However, Jinkou Yuyan, the words have already been said, what else can they do?

    What should I do, I will be dispatched from another place.

The emperor nodded, looked at the crossbow in his hand repeatedly, it was really light, "You always carry it with you on weekdays?"

"You always carry it when you're done, but it's a pity that it wasn't done when my son had an accident last time. Otherwise , Erchen will not suffer." Ming Yu said truthfully.

"It's okay to take it with you." The emperor agreed with the complicated situation in the frontier. If something like that happens again, it is right to protect yourself.

Ming Yu smiled attentively, "If the royal father likes it, the son will dedicate this thing to the father, and it can be regarded as a piece of filial piety

." The emperor tapped the seeds on his head. Then he shook his head and said, "You just take this thing with you, what's the use of it in this palace?" The

emperor asked Ming Yu to keep it, and Ming Yu could only obey. Today's affairs are considered to come to an end. It was late at night, and the emperor knew that Ming Yu had just returned and hadn't had much rest, so he let Ming Yu go after a few more instructions.

After leaving Prime Minister Wen's mansion, it was getting late. He looked at the direction of the palace and wondered what Ming Yu was doing now. It's only been half a day since the separation, and I already started to miss it. How is he in the palace, how are his brothers and sisters treating him, will there be any dirty things?

For so long, he has gradually learned about Ming Yu's past, and the more he understands, the more distressed he becomes. In that environment where he eats people without spitting out bones, and always upholds the high and the low, how did Ming Yu come here when he was seriously ill and stupid before?

I heard that when he was not crowned king, everyone in the palace hated him. If there was no emperor, Ming Yu would not have been able to grow up safely, right? Otherwise, why would there be that drowning. How can a prince who doesn't understand anything but is just immersed in his own world go to the water for no reason, and how can he fall into the water for no reason?

Now the truth of the matter has long been covered up, and no one else can know it. But fortunately, God always favors those who are blessed. Ming Yu was blessed by misfortune. After falling into the water, the disease of stupidity gradually improved, and there is today's bright Ming Yu.

Xie Yixiu could imagine the open and secret struggle in the palace, so he was very worried about Ming Yu's situation. Although he knew that he shouldn't worry about these things, he just had no reason to worry about him.

Ming Yu had already slept heartlessly, and he slept very peacefully. After running around all the way, I came back to fight again, and the whole person was very tired.

When this matter spread out today, two of the three princes were punished, and only Ming Yu was handled lightly. Everyone should weigh it, Ming Yu's current status, don't think that Ming Yu was sealed off by the emperor and went out to the border, and he lost his holy heart. Just look at the emperor's attitude, Ming Yu still occupies an important position in the emperor's mind.

After the morning courtship the next day, Prime Minister Wen stayed with a worried look on his face, and after reporting the matter, the emperor received him at Yude Palace.

Prime Minister Wen saluted, and the emperor raised his head from the memorial table full of memorials, waved his hands and said with a smile: "I said earlier, between you and me, there is no need for more courtesy in private."

Prime Minister Wen still saluted and said: "Your Majesty , the etiquette of monarchs and ministers cannot be abandoned."

Prime Minister Wen was serious, but the emperor laughed, "You are a person who always puts rules first. Get it, get it, it's up to you." When

these words came out, both of them were stunned . In a split second, the emperor then reacted, waving his hand and giving him a seat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Prime Minister Wen thanked him, he sat down.

"What are you talking about here?" The emperor asked.

Of course, Prime Minister Wen does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. The matter proposed by Xie Yixiu when he came to the mansion yesterday, Prime Minister Wen thought about it, whether it would benefit the country and the people, and not hurt the national body. The matter of the Xiqi Corridor is not too late.

Although he did not know how Duan Wang could prevent the state treasury from spending a penny to develop and construct the Xiqi Corridor, no matter what he planned, Prime Minister Wen still decided to take a risk. Now that he has decided to help, he has to find out from the emperor's side first. He doesn't believe that Duan Wangye will avoid the emperor in such a big matter. If he wants to come, he will make it clear to the emperor.

Prime Minister Wen explained the matter of Xie Yixiu's visit yesterday, and finally asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this matter, and what are your thoughts? This minister has been thinking about it, but I don't understand Duan Wanghui. Is there any way to solve the problem?" The

emperor laughed after hearing this, "This old fourteen, he knows how to have someone move the alliance."

He stood up and took two steps, "If Wen Qing is not here today, I will also send He was invited by someone. Ming Yu had already told me about this yesterday, and he only said that he wanted me to support him and leave the rest to him." He thought for a moment and continued: "Although I don't know him What are your ideas, but I am indeed considering the Xiqi Corridor. If it is true, as Ming Yu said, the situation in the borderlands for decades may be improved."

Prime Minister Wen also nodded, and it was for this reason that It was only then that he accepted the matter, and the borderlands were a big worry for his confidants. The emperor has been brooding for decades. At the beginning, the emperor insisted on doing his own way and did his best to be the enemy of Suixi, because the country of Suixi became more and more wanton and arrogant. Let them get their feet wet.

The emperor made such a decision, and the court and the opposition almost turned into a pot of porridge. There are voices of support, and there are more voices of opposition. They have long been used to the comfortable and peaceful days, and rashly going to war with the Suixi country will only break the existing serenity on the surface.

The apparent peace was exchanged for their Dayan Kingdom, their pro-women and countless wealth. These people are hiding under the dirty trade, and still live the days of life and death.

The young emperor was full of enthusiasm and wanted to solve the Suixi country once and for all. He had to fight to let the barbarians know that the people of the Dayan country were not muddy, but also bloody. However, this fight has continued to the present. The border areas of the two countries have been fighting every year, and the annual human and material resources are a huge expense. In recent years, the finances have been difficult, and I even began to feel that I could not make ends meet.

Now, above the court, the voices that began to negotiate began to show signs of reconciliation, and there were even rumors in private that the emperor's decision back then was a mistake.

The high-spirited young emperor has already shown his old age. At the beginning, they said that they would work together for the country and the people, and for the world without disturbance, and would like to work together to create a peaceful and prosperous world. It's a pity that the day didn't work out, as time goes by, how much of the original intention of the year? The emperor is also a human being, and he will be powerless.

Now he can see the shadow of himself back then from Xie Yixiu and Duan Wang. There was still a little bit of blood left, and he saw that there were young people who took over the responsibilities in their hands and created peace for the world.

"Yeah, the old minister no longer dares to ask for too much. He only hopes that the borders will be forever peaceful and the country will enjoy peace. Now it seems that only King Duan belongs to him!" Prime Minister Wen said with emotion.

This sentence made the emperor have mixed feelings, and it is not that he has not regretted it over the years. However, because of his decision, Dayan's huge wheel has been slowly advancing, but he can no longer stop it.

"Ming Yu, it's very good, Yuhua's children are all very good." The emperor sighed softly, with a touch of relief in his tone, "If Yuhua has a spirit in the sky, she will be very happy too!"

The look in Prime Minister Wen's eyes was gloomy, and he nodded, with a bitter meaning in his heart. She is very good, so good that it can be unforgettable for a person. In the green years, the three people were dressed in white horses and pointed the country. What a high-spirited one. It's a pity I can't go back!

The emperor turned his head and looked at Prime Minister Wen. Seeing the loneliness in his eyes, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Then he changed the subject, "Let's follow Ming Yu's thoughts on this matter. No matter how much he tossed, as long as he does n't toss himself into it, he will let him go." If you do it, let it go and do it. With his support behind it, as a shield, no one dares to say anything more.

Prime Minister Wen understood what the emperor meant and nodded. Since this is the case, then in the court, there will be no obstacles to this matter, then he will try his best to fight for them in the court.

Prime Minister Wen said goodbye and left. The emperor looked at Qing Jun's back, stretched out his hand, and moved his fingers. In the end, he couldn't grasp anything, so he could only put it down and let out a faint sigh.
