Straight man of steel

Chapter 161 Can You Be a Master Craftsman

"Then, can your Majesty agree to transfer me from Tingwei's Mansion to the Da Nong Ling Mansion or the Shao Mansion.

Tingwei and Zuojian have heavy responsibilities, and a stubborn minister has some whimsical ideas bursting out in his mind. If he keeps working in Tingwei's mansion, he can't have both.

Recently, I have been thinking about how to improve the combat effectiveness of our Han cavalry, so as to overwhelm the Hun cavalry in the northern wasteland. Now I have some ideas. Please give me time and space to think about it.

I know very well that your majesty thinks and worries about the big man. In order to protect my big man from being invaded by foreign enemies for thousands of years, your majesty dare not relax in the slightest day and night. The emperor acts like this, and we, the courtiers, should share the burden for your majesty.

Your Majesty, you also said that this is the time for employing people, and you should put the right people in the right place. "

Zhang Yuan's words are completely sincere, and the selfishness contained in them is also for the big man.

If he worked in Tingwei Mansion, everyone there would be sharp people, and the place where all the big men can see people's secrets is there. Zhang Yuan didn't want to put himself on the fire.

"Then why do you want to go to Shaofu or Da Nong Ling?
Wouldn't it be better to be a master craftsman? "

Facing Liu Che's question, Zhang Yuan smiled awkwardly. He also wanted to be a master craftsman, at least he didn't have to participate in the affairs of the court.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, isn't the subject at odds with the general and master craftsman Mo Li?

In order not to hinder Mo Gong's eyes, it's better to hide as far away as possible. "

"Ahem, the general master craftsman Mo Yi has already applied to be the mausoleum order. His Majesty thinks that repairing the emperor's tomb is more important. It's good for him to stay there. Now the general master craftsman position is vacant."

Tian Fu coughed twice and reminded Zhang Yuan.

Neither Liu Che nor Tian Fu thought that Mo Li had been transferred away from Chang'an for a year, and Zhang Yuan didn't know about it. Reasonably, Zhang Yuan should always pay attention to Mo Li's activities, in case he would attack him.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was sent to Yelang as an envoy for several months, and I just returned to Chang'an. I really don't know about this matter."

The emperor was not in a good mood. He wanted to continue this matter to suppress Tian Fu's arrogance, but he failed.

The reason why Mo Yi applied for transfer was because Tian Fu became the prime minister, and he was worried that Tian Fu would attack him.

Liu Che is naturally unhappy that Gongqing is so afraid of Tian Fu.

"Then I ask you, are you willing to take up the post of general master craftsman?"

Tian Fu's calm eyes suddenly flashed light, and Han Anguo and Wang Sui also looked in disbelief.

This kind of thing has never happened in a big man, let alone a big man, it is rare for thousands of years.

Not everyone is like Jiang Ziya, who was worshiped as a grand master as soon as he was born. Besides, Jiang Ziya was 70 years old at that time, and no one cared about being called a renrui.

Zhang Yuan is only in his 20s now. If he can serve as a general at this time, his future will be bright.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is feasible. Your Majesty's civil and martial arts are all the top choices. The ministers under your command should also be talented and virtuous people. Employers should be eclectic. The Quyuanli and Guangang methods created by this son of Zhang Yuan In addition, the cultivated crops such as potatoes have benefited everyone in the Han Dynasty.

If this son is a public minister, if it is passed on to the world, it will definitely attract talented scholars all over the world. At that time, His Majesty will definitely not say anything about employing people at this time, because His Majesty has too many talents under his command. "

As soon as Liu Che finished speaking, Tian Fu said impatiently, eager to bring this matter to an immediate conclusion.

The master craftsman does not care about political affairs. Speaking of it, he is not as effective as Tingwei Zuojian or even an official of six hundred shi on Tian Fu, but Tian Fu has already portrayed Zhang Yuan's future growth path in his mind.

Stay in the position of general master craftsman for a few years, and then come up with a few new gadgets to increase his reputation, and then try to get Zhang Yuan to be a sheriff somewhere, without expecting any progress. It's fine if something goes wrong, and after a few more years, he can be transferred back to Chang'an to serve as an important official like Jiuqing, and it is possible even to be among the third princes.

Tian Fu began to smile because of his perfect plan, without considering the feelings of the parties at all.

Zhang Yuan is now in cold sweat, his back is completely soaked, and the cold air from the ice mirror placed in the hall has already made Zhang Yuan tremble all over.

"Your Majesty, I don't have enough qualifications, so I don't dare to dream of becoming a public minister. Please allow me to go home and farm."

There was a little fear in Zhang Yuan's words, and he knelt tremblingly.

If Liu Che dares to give an official position, Zhang Yuan must dare to accept it.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's answer, Tian Fu's face turned cold, Han Anguo was expressionless, and Wang Sui, who was standing by Liu Che's side, let out a sigh of relief.

"Young people still need to be enterprising. I have paved the way for you to move forward, but you have been stagnant. I am very disappointed.

But I don't like to force people to make things difficult in my life. Since you don't want to, I will give you half a year's vacation for the time being. I will reserve the position of Ting Wei and Left Supervisor for you. "

Although he never allowed himself to step down, he had a better situation.

Zhang Yuan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. In front of any big man who could easily deprive him of his life, it was a fluke to be able to survive, and he couldn't talk about winning or losing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Wang Sui, draw up a decree, let the general be a master craftsman's mansion to conquest carpenters all over the country, and make every effort to build three-bow bed crossbows. Within a year, I will see [-] bed crossbows appear on the northern border.

If they are not completed, there is no need for them to exist. I can tolerate useless people, but I can't tolerate those who are dragging their feet. "

Counting it, this was the first time that Liu Che spoke in a threatening tone in front of Tian Fu. The warning was so obvious that I don't know if Tian Fu could hear it.

"Here."

"Prime Minister, Doctor Yushi, and that Zhang Yuan, you all step down, I'm a little tired."

"My minister retire."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan followed Tian Fu and Han Anguo and just retreated.

Looking at Tian Fu's face, Zhang Yuan sighed inwardly, Tian Fu still didn't understand Liu Che's threat after all.

But it is also human nature, today did not get any benefits, Zhang Yuan was suspended for half a year, although Zhang Yuan was very happy, but Tian Fu was not so comfortable.

What he needs is to win over all the officials who have the right to speak to his side, so that he can compete with Liu Che in the court.

Commonly speaking, this is the duty of the prime minister, but an emperor like Liu Che can't act like this.

Han Anguo clearly knew the pros and cons of this, but he didn't remind Tian Fu, how vicious his intentions were.
