Chapter 494
Standing up, "General Liang! This statement is inappropriate. The establishment of a naval division is a major national event, and the military camp is the most important thing. How can you let people watch it at will!"

The former dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs. At the beginning of the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor granted officials and titles to the generals who had pacified the world, but did not give too much military power.

From generation to generation, the status of military officials in the court gradually became weaker than that of civilian officials.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War is also a literati. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the construction of a navy is not a small matter. Our territory is vast, and only a few small towns in the east are close to the sea. There is no need to build a separate navy!"

General Liang frowned. After sitting on the bench for many years, His Majesty finally let go, and given him a chance, how could he be suppressed again.

"My lord Wang's words are wrong. Dazhou's coastal defenses are weak, and they are often harassed by people from the East Island. The people along the coast are miserable. Only by establishing a naval force of our own can we protect the safety of the people of Dazhou!"

Bing Bu Shangshu flicked his sleeves and snorted, "General Liang, don't want to be alarmist. Dazhou and Dongdao have always been on good terms. A while ago, Dongdao sent envoys. As long as His Majesty sends a princess to get married, how can Dongdao be married for generations?" It will easily invade Dazhou!"

Hengxuan didn't say a word, the fact that Princess Zhen Guo beat up the crippled East Island mission has not been leaked yet!

This is because he deliberately covered it. Although there is the eldest princess as the township, the navy has not practiced yet, and it will be safer to delay for a while!

Shutong looked at the white-faced middle-aged man, he didn't look like a general at all.

Qi asked, "Who are you? What does Jianshui have to do with you?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War frowned and hummed, "I am the Minister of the Ministry of War!"

"Oh, so it's the Minister of the Ministry of War!" Shutong looked at him, "You are so weak, can you manage the affairs of the Ministry of War?"

What I said is meant to be contemptuous!
Wang Ting, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, scolded with a dark face, "This is the court, as a woman, I shouldn't come!"

Shutong sneered: "I shouldn't have come? Ask your majesty, he didn't say anything, you're so angry!"

Minister of the Ministry of War really didn't know about Shutong's various feats. He had a cold a while ago, and he really had it for a while!
Moreover, he came from a humble background, and it was because of his aloofness and straightforwardness that he achieved the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

He has always advertised a clean government and a clean government, with a clean sleeve, and the family has no overnight food surplus, and the eldest princess's auction banquet did not give him a post at all.

He snorted coldly, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! You, a little girl, actually went to the Golden Luan Hall to speak nonsense, it is really unreasonable!"

Shutong laughed and said, "What a big tone! I came here today to help His Majesty build a navy as soon as possible. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, you are actually singing the opposite tune here. I doubt your intentions!"

It means he is very incompetent!
"Ridiculous! I have been an official for twenty years, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. It is clearly a slander for the eldest princess to question her like this!"

"Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess talks about government affairs indiscriminately! Slandering the lower officials, I beg Your Majesty to make the decision!"

Hengxuan scolded: "Shut up, what the eldest princess said is reasonable, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, you have repeatedly obstructed the establishment of a navy, what is your intention!"

Hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of War knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head, "Your Majesty! I am devoted to serving the country wholeheartedly, but was framed by traitors, so I can only prove my innocence by death!"

He kowtowed hard, and soon his forehead was bleeding, looking very pitiful.

Heng Xuan waved his hand, "Forget it, get up first!"

When Bing Bu Shangshu saw this, he became more stubborn, "I beg your Majesty, how can this Golden Luan Palace be dictated by a woman, this is the hen Sichen!"

Shutong didn't intend to stay longer at first, but the minister of the Ministry of War was chattering, which made people bored.

He frowned and said, "I'm here today for business!"

She glanced at all the officials with a cold gaze, "It was agreed that day in the imperial study that I would donate money to form a naval division. I have fulfilled my promise. I wonder if the money is ready, sir?"

There were only seven or eight people discussing in the imperial study that day, and most of the officials didn't know about it, so they couldn't help being surprised.

Hengxuan coughed and said, "The treasury is empty, and the eldest princess is dedicated to the country. Knowing that the coastal residents of my Dazhou have been bullied by the East Island country all the year round, she proposed to form a navy!"

"Now, the eldest princess has donated most of her property. I am grateful and gratified, and I also donated 200 million taels of treasury silver!"

"Of course! I said these are not asking you to pay money, but the formation of the navy will last for thousands of years, I hope you can work together to help General Liang!"

The emperor spoke up, and everyone who dared not pay money knelt down one after another, expressing that they were willing to contribute money to do their best for the country.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War was dissatisfied, "I am willing to take over and promise to form an army for His Majesty!"

His family is poor, and he barely supports his family with his salary. If he is asked to donate money, he really doesn't have it!

Shutong sneered, "Leave it to you, how can someone so weak look like a general? Or is General Liang pleasing to the eye!"

General Liang was furious just now when he heard that the minister of the Ministry of War was robbing him of meritorious service. Now he is at ease after being praised by the eldest princess.

Shutong then pointed to Mr. Qian, the servant of the household department, "and Mr. Qian, who is also reliable!"

Seeing his subordinates being praised, the Minister of the Ministry of Households is not the Minister of the Ministry of War.

He knew what the eldest princess was doing, so he didn't dare to refute!

To be honest, he was also in the imperial study that day, when his subordinate Qian Shilang offered to pursue the payment of the arrears, and he hinted it!
It's completely thankless, so he won't move forward!
Unexpectedly, Lord Qian cooperated with the eldest princess who played cards unreasonably, and could really get all the money back!
Afterwards, he was very annoyed. If he had known that he was in his prime, His Majesty would have looked at him differently!
However, Qian Shilang flattered the eldest princess, so he didn't dare to take his credit, so he quickly stood up.

"Your Majesty! I believe that the Eldest Princess knows people well, and Qian Shilang is diligent in his work. I am willing to recommend him!"

Heng Xuan nodded, "Since the eldest princess is optimistic! I trust you, so I will allocate 500 million taels of silver. Qian Shilang and General Liang will build a powerful navy for me within half a year!"

General Liang and Qian Shilang were overjoyed, and they came out at the same time, "I obey the order!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War is in a hurry, how can the formation of the navy bypass him, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the money allocated by the Ministry of Finance should be transferred to the Ministry of War first, and he will dispatch it uniformly!

"Your Majesty, this is against the rules!"

"What rules?"

Shutong sneered, "I didn't see you in the imperial study that day, Lord Minister of the Ministry of War. I don't know where you were at that time?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War was stagnant, and a new grandson was added to the family. He had a lot of money to spend, so he took the initiative to move the charcoal fire in the study.

In the end, I couldn't bear it, and got a cold, so I had to stay at home for a full month.

"I feel a little cold, in order not to infect my colleagues, I am resting at home!"

Shutong laughed, "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of War is in charge of military affairs, how can a civil servant be the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

The minister of the Ministry of War was shocked when he heard this, and had a bad idea.

Heng Xuan nodded seriously, "It's my negligence! Forget it!"

He glanced at the crowd, "Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Wang Ting is not feeling well, I will give you half a year off to go home and recuperate, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of War will be temporarily replaced by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance! As for the Minister of the Ministry of Accounts, Qian Bing is in charge of the work Promoted to Minister of the Household Department!"
