Lan Yuan frowned, slowly leaned down and advised: "In the current crisis, Your Highness should focus on state affairs and not indulge in wine and sex. Wouldn't this be giving up a great opportunity to King Yu Yi..."
The prince was very displeased and snorted coldly: "Why do you still have the nerve to teach me a lesson? Isn't it because of your arrogance that you ruined this good situation! If you had followed my king's idea earlier, how could you have done it? I will allow Dong Sheng to be so rampant today!"
Lan Yuan was speechless and could only nod his head: "It's all Wei Chen's fault..."
"You people think you are smart, but you pushed me into the pit of fire step by step," the prince still complained to himself, "Father does not treat me as his own son, but as a dog raised by the family! I still try my best to maintain What do you want to do with your image? Why don’t you just try to be happy and be comfortable for as long as you want! What do Lan Shidu think?"
Lan Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied slowly: "If Lan has any ulterior motives, His Highness will decide everything. But now that noon is approaching, we should wait to discuss this matter later."
The prince then stopped talking and asked the maid to wait for him to change his clothes.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Following the old custom, everyone bowed to the empty dragon chair three times before getting up. The prince was helped by the eunuch and sat aside. He looked around with dejected eyes. Everyone was there.
"I have heard that the Ministry of War has a report. What's the matter?" he asked.
Cai Xianqing glanced at Ye Yongjia and handed the memorial to him. The latter took it and immediately stepped out of the queue and replied: "I think that if we want to implement the New Deal now, we must first open a military factory and build shotguns and artillery. Success. However, the power of manufacturing is controlled by merchants. They are only interested in profit and will not accept it lightly. Therefore, I have drawn up a list and want to send the first and second envoys to negotiate. Please see it."
"Time is tight, I'm too lazy to read it carefully, but Ye Qing said it's okay." The prince waved his hand.
Ye Yongjia had no choice but to open the memorial and read aloud: "Temporarily set up the Fundraising Department, appoint Lu Zhixian as the chief executive of the Department, with Ge Ming as the chief envoy and Zeng Liang as the deputy envoy, and go to Beitang. "
Ge Mingwei had already learned from Guoxiang people that Ye Dang would plan this matter, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly mention his name. He couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, and looked at each other with Zeng Liang.
They were still stunned, but the Hunanese suddenly saw through Ye Dang's intention, secretly sneered, and came out to say: "Your Highness, the emperor has a plan, and ordered the Ministry of War to arbitrarily decide on the New Deal, but now the Ministry of War has not sent any One person, but asked someone from outside to take this position. It’s hard to fathom what his intentions are.”
"Guo Lianghou," Ye Yongjia glanced coldly, "How can there be such a thing as 'outside' and 'inside'? Aren't they all officials of this dynasty? If I only send people from my headquarters, many people will argue about my choice of people. Kissed."
Guo Xiangren said with a smile: "I don't want to argue with Mr. Ye all day long. I just think that with great power comes great responsibility. You should be responsible for such difficult matters. I don't know anything about firearms, let alone people. Didn’t you catch someone blind when you went to Beitang? Your Excellency, you plan to blame someone else!"
Ye Yongjia's heart suddenly tightened and he remained motionless. He swallowed and his whole throat grumbled. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself: 'This guy is really deceitful. After saying this, he put me in an unjust position and became a tiger riding a tiger...'
Cai Xianqing was just worried at the side, rubbing his hands constantly, as if he was at his wits end.
"Good Lord! Are we inferior to the people in their military department?"
Unexpectedly, Ge Mingwei suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
"I would like to go to Beitang for negotiations," he continued, "to serve the country and accomplish this great feat!"
Only then did Ye Yongjia relax, raised his head, and said calmly: "Master Guo, Master Ge has already taken the initiative to ask for help. Is this also a trick set by my officer?"
The Guoxiang man was very embarrassed, his face turned blue and white, but he couldn't get angry at Ge Mingwei, so he could only hold back his anger and replied: "Then please do it."
"Since no one has any objections, let's implement it as Ye Bingbu said."
When the prince gave the order, only Ge Mingwei knelt down and thanked him happily. Zeng Liang and Lu Zhixian seemed reluctant and accepted the order helplessly.
Until the end of the dynasty, the people in Guoxiang still couldn't swallow the sigh of relief, so they asked Ge Mingwei to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs with him to resume his duties, ready to see how Chen Tongpao would train him. Unexpectedly, Chen Tongpao not only didn't care, but also comforted him with kind words and packed his luggage.
The people from Guoxiang were surprised by his reaction and sighed in annoyance. They had no choice but to wait until he left and asked Ge Mingwei in person: "Master Ge, what a big mistake you made today, why don't you save it?"
Seeing his menacing approach, Ge Xueshi was a little dazed: "I...why was I wrong?"
Guo Xiangren gritted his teeth and said: "The reason why I questioned Thief Ye like that today is because I saw his insidious plot to put us in a disadvantageous position. It would be better for you to save him in vain and ruin my plan!"
Ge Ming said seriously: "The words of the good prince are unreasonable. It is only right to contribute to the country. Since he is willing to give in, it is a good thing we can only ask for. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of the name Qingliu?"
"Xueshi Ge, don't you know that Ye Yongjia is a national traitor!" Hunan people shouted angrily, "If you don't get involved and let the Ministry of War shoulder this responsibility, wouldn't we be able to take the initiative and impeach him at will? Which one is more important and which one is less important is self-evident!"
Ge Mingwei was about to retort when he suddenly heard a kind voice saying: "What, what are you two arguing about?" The two hurriedly turned around and saw that Tongpao Chen was back.
"You two, please be nice and don't quarrel like children." Tongpao Chen looked to both sides and flicked his eyes. "Besides, that matter has already passed, and there is no point in arguing anymore. Let's talk about the issue of going to Beitang as an envoy." Bar."
"Yes." The Xiang native responded with a disappointed voice, then stopped immediately, turned around and sat down on the armchair on the right.
Ge Mingwei looked at Tongpao Chen and immediately made a deep bow with great respect: "I am also thinking about this matter. I wonder what Mr. Chen has to say?"
Tongpao Chen smacked his lips and said, "I only have one concern: the bachelor's temperament is upright, and I'm afraid he may conflict with Zeng Hubu. Although he has close contacts with us, he is not someone to be trifled with. We must get along with him in peace. , work together to negotiate, and be humble to him in everything. We cannot let us have internal troubles and give the Ye Party an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
Ge Mingwei replied: "Keep Ge in mind, Mr. Chen, don't worry."
After hearing this, Tongpao Chen didn't say anything more. He just helped to count the luggage and escorted him out of the door.
Seeing that Xueshi Ge had gone far away, he sighed: "This person will definitely not accept my words. If I go to Beitang, there will probably be no good results!"
