I saw a letter saying: Yin Jun was promoted to be the censor of Tonggong, and he was given a month to develop a usable steam engine, and so on.
This was a clever plan that the emperor had been brewing for a long time. He intended to use Yin Jun to put pressure on his sister and force the woman to hand over the relevant manufacturing secrets.
So, this is not the so-called trust reuse, but something else.
Yin Jun's eyes flashed, and he quickly understood the emperor's true intention.
He first pushed the edict back to the holy case in a cryptic manner, and then respectfully said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has never served in the Ministry of Works and is a layman in the art of government agencies. For you to send Wei Chen to take charge of this matter is tantamount to asking a monk to read it.
The Taoist scriptures are extremely mismatched! I am self-aware and dare not overstep my authority."
The emperor smiled and said: "It doesn't matter! Although you don't know this way, there are people who do! As long as you love me and work hard, I firmly believe that you can succeed."
Yin Jun still said humbly: "Your Majesty, I can control the affairs of the Yin family, but I cannot be the master of other families. Due to the limitations of the rules, please forgive me for my inability to do anything."
This means that although Yin Tao is the roommate's sister, she is also a member of the Qi family, so how can he go beyond her without any reason?
What he said is already very explicit. As long as you are not stupid or stupid, you can understand it.
In fact, it wasn't that Yin Jun didn't want to share your worries, but that this matter involved the core interests of the Qi family, so he chose not to participate.
In order to avoid ending up in a situation where both sides are displeased and someone is not a human being both inside and outside.
Although he was declined politely, the emperor was not angry. Instead, he said more cordially: "I hope your beloved will think carefully about what you should do as an important minister."
Yin Jun still said resolutely: "I have disappointed Your Majesty. Please forgive me for not being able to take on the responsibility."
"Sigh... I originally thought about building a new fleet like the one in Nanyang as soon as possible, and then going to fight the evil Fusang Kingdom, but I never thought that this long-cherished wish would be hard to come by!"
"Your Majesty, are you saying that the purpose of building a battleship is to conquer Fuso?"
"Of course! To the east of our Dafeng, there are only two countries, Goryeo and Fusang. Goryeo surrendered, but Fusang was hostile. You said, if I don't build a navy, who should I do it for?"
"this……"
As Queen Su expected, Yin Jun was a little shaken once national justice was involved.
What's more, he was once kidnapped by Japanese pirates, so he was bound to feel resentment. Now that he was given the opportunity for revenge, how could he not be tempted?
Just when Yin Jun was undecided, the emperor saw the right opportunity and forced the oracle into his hand.
After saying, "My dear, you only have one month," he left leisurely.
It’s really incredible that I took on this mission.
I actually gave it half a try!
There was no other way, so Yin Jun had to come to his sister's house to beg for help.
Upon hearing that the Qi family was asked to contribute core technologies, Yin Tao turned her back faster than flipping through a book and showed great displeasure.
"Brother, you are now a member of the Jiuqing family, how come you are still so confused when doing things?"
"I……"
"It's not like you don't understand. The Emperor nominally asked Qi Xiao to serve as a companion, but in reality he was a half-secured hostage. In this passive situation, I can only rely on the chips in my hand to try my best to compete. If I lose
Now that I know your trump card, how do you want me to protect myself in the future?"
"well……"
This time, Yin Tao didn't hold back her feelings, and as soon as she came up, she got into a rough fight.
Yin Jun knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only continue to make amends with his sister.
However, the outcome has been determined and cannot be changed. You still have to think about what to do.
If he doesn't hand over his skills, his brother will face punishment. This situation is also something he doesn't want to see.
It seems that the only way is to provide support.
When Yin Jun saw this, he quickly thanked him.
However, Yin Tao put forward another condition: "Your Majesty wants my Qi family's things, can't you show some sincerity accordingly?"
corresponding……
Oh, I understand, this is an implicit exchange.
"Sincerity..." Yin Jun smacked his lips first, and then asked: "Could it be that my sister wants to take the opportunity to ask for some reward money?"
cut!
Look at your potential!
Yin Tao pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "The little gold that the emperor rewarded before was not even half as much as what my mother-in-law sent. It's such a stingy gesture. It's okay not to give it up."
Yin Jun was stunned and said: "Then... what do you want?"
Yin Tao smiled and said: "Whatever, you have to give me a possession talisman, right? If the emperor comes to me to settle matters afterwards, he won't be completely passive."
amulet?
Could it be referring to the Iron Coupon of Alchemy Book?
However, after thinking about it for a while, Yin Jun immediately rejected this speculation.
This kind of thing that existed only in legends was not even owned by the princes of the current dynasty, let alone someone with a foreign surname?
"Actually, I don't know what I want. Why don't you make your own decision? Anyway, there is one thing, it must be conducive to my family!"
"Yeah... OK! Leave this matter to me. I will reply to you within two days!"
"Okay, it's settled!"
"..."
Just like that, Yin Jun left with his new mission.
Yin Tao looked at her brother's back sadly and sighed helplessly.
After she came to her senses, she suddenly realized that she had not seen her son today.
Where did this naughty kid go?
Could it be that he went to the palace?
Not too possible!
Recently, Prince Li Hongyu has been preoccupied with expressing himself, so how can he have time to study? If he doesn't study, Qi Xiao naturally doesn't have to accompany him.
In fact, Young Master Qi is currently planning other things.
Since Yin Tao was determined not to let him get involved in anything related to the steam engine, he had no choice but to find something to do within his power.
For example, try to stir up the marriage proposal regarding my sister.
In other words, I was thinking about how to deal with that annoying Liang Kesheng.
Ever since this man became insane, Qi Xiao had assigned Huang Fei to send letters every once in a while. It was nominally to express condolences, but in reality it was to deliberately add to the stimulation.
In his letters, he always said, intentionally or unintentionally, how cold-blooded and cruel his sister was. That description was almost comparable to the legendary dominatrix.
The result of the feedback was that Mr. Liang’s condition became more and more serious.
The sail wants to be calm but the wind does not stop!
Even if he thinks about it well, he still can't get better!
Seeing this, Qi Xiao suddenly felt a sense of pleasure that a great revenge had been taken. He even woke up laughing several times while sleeping.
And yesterday, Huang Fei came to report that Liang Kesheng's condition suddenly deteriorated sharply, and he appeared to be in a worrying state of madness.
So, early this morning, Qi Xiao rushed over to inquire.
