Chapter 173 There is a daughter in the Weichen family!
Empress Changsun couldn't help being stunned, and her mind instinctively recalled the stories of various generals, ministers, and princes she had read in history books... Does that mean that from now on, Sheng'er will definitely be famous throughout the ages?
happy!
Unlike Empress Changsun, who was purely happy about her child's future, the ministers on the side were more excited and excited.
Changsun Wuji was so happy.
Fortunately, I have been working in the court for so many years and have made so many noble friends.
What is the use?
All these princes and so on are not as useful as that nephew!
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng all had their own agendas.
Wei Zheng has always been an upright gentleman, and there are some operations that he really can't do well.
But...this is a great opportunity that will last forever!
Besides, although there have been many heroes in the founding of the country since ancient times, after that generation, the descendants tend to become more and more arrogant, and it will be difficult to guarantee the incense of our old Wei family.
While deep in thought, Wei Zheng didn't notice that Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling had similar expressions to him.
After struggling for a while, Wei Zheng finally spoke.
"Empress, Wei Chen has a favor to ask you. Wei Chen has a daughter at home who is eighteen years old..."
"Queen, Wei Chen has a daughter and a niece at home..."
"Queen, in fact, Wei Chen also has a daughter in his family..."
The three of them spoke in unison, and then you looked at me, I looked at you...
Confused, stunned.
I wonder why these guys also had this idea.
"Xuanling, Keming, how could you two have such thoughts?"
"Xuancheng, I also want to ask you, you usually act like a gentleman, why are you acting like this now?"
Empress Changsun covered her mouth and chuckled, this child is a hot commodity now!
But if you want to marry your daughter, you have to ask our Sheng'er if he agrees.
It’s not to Sheng’er’s taste, even if you are the Duke of the country!
At this moment, Changsun Wuji coughed lightly and said, "Madam, in fact, that boy Changsun Chong is quite handsome. It's not that I can't consider it..."
…
Li Er returned to the palace and immediately summoned Duan Lun, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Seeing Li Er, accompanied by Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, Duan Lun immediately understood what was going on.
Obviously, it’s still a problem with the iron material!
Standing at the door of Ganlu Hall, Duan Lun felt very uneasy.
The basket came out early this morning, and His Majesty was very angry.
Needless to say, I called myself here this late at night. I just wanted to specify one thing - it was still about the iron material!
He observed silently.
Li Er was holding a booklet at the moment and talking and laughing with Du Ruhui.
This scene was like a mirror in Duan Lun's mind, who had been an official for many years. It was undoubtedly the calm before the storm.
Li Er is 100% studying how to punish himself and speed up the resolution of this matter.
But... Duan Lun is really suffering and can't express it.
I am the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which means that I have a high position of authority, but... I am not a god. Even if I want to solve the problem of iron materials, it does not mean that it can be solved by solving it.
You can't conjure refined iron out of thin air, right?
As for the inferior iron on the market... there is indeed such a thing, but what is the use of inferior iron?
It is not impossible to use inferior iron to recast fine iron and recreate hand grenades, divine arm bows, and black armor.
But what time?
Duan Lun didn't dare to think about it. He was afraid that only half of the 100,000 troops were equipped. The Turkic cavalry even knew Chang'an's brothel roster by heart...
But since His Majesty has summoned me, even if I am scolded, I have to bite the bullet.
Shaking his head, Duan Lun still walked towards the hall.
Li Er's expression was still smiling at this moment.
Duan Lun took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty Duan Lun, please see..."
"Okay, okay, stop seeing me, come here and take a look at this!"
"ah?"
Duan Lun thought that Li Er was smiling because he was preparing to curse, but...
It seems that His Majesty is not very angry.
No, rather, Li Er was in an extremely good mood at this moment.
Duan Lun was extremely surprised.
Damn it, why is Your Majesty so happy all of a sudden? Could it be that His Majesty has given up on treating these matters such as iron materials, divine arm bows, military reform, and the use of troops against Turks?
Think of this.
Duan Lun felt bad.
Very bad!
At this moment, Li Er opened a brochure for him to read, "Ziming, you have to take a good look at this factory..."
But Duan Lun took a step back and stood upright.
A respectful salute!
"Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Li Er was also stunned by Duan Lun's reaction.
Isn’t this steelmaking plant very good? Why can’t it be like this?
But before he could ask a question, Duan Lun continued,
"Your Majesty, I definitely have a huge responsibility for this fine iron incident."
"I dare not shirk this responsibility. Your Majesty can punish you at will. But..."
"His Majesty."
"This fine iron, divine arm bow, hand grenade... these are the focus of this reform of the Xuanjia Army. And the Xuanjia Army is your Majesty's country and the well-being of the people."
"Although the price of fine iron is very high nowadays, how can Your Majesty give up because of this?"
"If one day, the Turks invade the country and the Tang Dynasty cannot be protected...how will your Majesty face it then..."
"Your Majesty, Duan Lun, is remonstrating with death today. Your Majesty must not give up on solving the matter of fine iron!"
Duan Lun's remarks ardently stated the necessity of the Jingtie incident and the dangers of abandoning military reform...
All in all, after a series of painful confessions, Duan Lun burst into tears at the end.
I burst into tears and didn't know what to say...
But Li Er was stunned, "Ziming, you...but..."
"If Your Majesty doesn't make it known, he will never give up refining refined iron. Today, I am willing to smash the beams and pillars of the Manna Palace with my head in order to die as a remonstrance!"
"But……"
"His Majesty!"
"But Ziming, I...I no longer need to refine refined iron..."
When Li Er said this, Duan Lun closed his eyes in despair, as if he had seen the scene of the Turks' iron hooves running rampant in the Tang Dynasty...
Li Er was speechless and had no choice but to throw the booklet to Duan Lun.
"Sigh... You literati are so easy to get into trouble when something happens. See for yourself!"
Duan Lun took the booklet blankly, opened it and started reading.
He estimated in his mind that this might be Li Er's account book or something. In short, he had decided to give up refining iron...
But as he watched, Duan Lun was stunned.
This... this seems to be a book on how to make iron.
And it is extremely inscrutable, far better than the previous one.
Just kidding, the previous booklet only had about ten thin pages, but this time it was a thick one - the amount of information was not even of the same order of magnitude.
As Minister of Industry, Duan Lun also knew how to make iron.
As I read this, my expression gradually changed.
I wipe...
Your Majesty...it seems that you have not given up on military reform...
