Chapter 129 Wei Yuan Concurrently Serves as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War
Wei Yuan woke up.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to ask where His Majesty was.
Zhao Zhen heard this, walked out of the palace gate, came to Wei Yuan, and asked:
"The military training records were written by you yourself?"
Only then did Wei Yuan realize that the military training records he had brought with him were no longer with him.
He bowed solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, it was indeed written by me personally."
Zhao Zhen held his hand and looked happy.
"You're good, kid!"
"Tonight, don't go back to your house, have a drink with me."
Wei Yuan was flattered and said, "I don't dare."
Zhao Zhen interrupted: "Why don't you dare? Your record of military training has solved a big problem for me."
The big trouble he was referring to was part of the redundant problem, which was the low combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
It is difficult to solve the problem of redundant troops with just one military training method, but it is still possible to solve some of the problems.
But this was enough for Zhao Zhen.
After all, the problem of redundant troops has been around for a long time. If you want to control it, you must not use strong medicine, otherwise chaos will occur, and you must make a gradual process.
Later, the delicacies made by the Shangshan Bureau were brought to the Xuanzheng Hall through the palace maids.
At this point, Zhao Zhen and Wei Yuan drank for half the night.
Wei Yuan told all the prospects for military training.
While drinking, Zhao Zhen saw Wei Yuan vomiting like a wolf and said with a smile:
"Eat slowly. You look like a beggar who has been hungry for a long time. You don't have any of the spirit of my great uncle Zhou Zhongyong."
Wei Yuan said subconsciously: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. In order to write the military training records, I forgot all about food and sleep. I didn't have a full meal for several days."
Zhao Zhen was a little moved after hearing this. What is a good minister?
This is a good minister!
Being able to achieve this level of selflessness for the sake of important national affairs is worthy of praise!
Zhao Zhen was very pleased and said:
"I will leave the formation of the new army to you, I can rest assured."
Wei Yuan burst into tears with gratitude and said, "I am Your Majesty, and I will not hesitate to do anything I want!"
Hearing the sound, Zhao Zhen became more and more excited.
"As for the formation of a new army, you can go ahead and do it. I have already informed the Privy Council and the Ministry of War to let them fully cooperate with you."
"Your teacher has the final say in the Privy Council. That doesn't matter. As for the Ministry of War,"
Zhao Zhen was about to speak but stopped.
Wei Yuan took a sip of wine and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will form a new army for your Majesty. If the Ministry of War does not cooperate with me, I will go and talk to you and never cause trouble for your majesty."
Hearing the sound, Zhao Zhen once again saw Wei Yuan's loyalty and said with a smile:
"The entire world, including the six tribes, belongs to me."
"Who dares not to listen to what I say? I just feel that the Ministry of War may not be as active as the Privy Council in cooperating with you to form a new army."
"However, it is not a troublesome matter. I will clear all obstacles in front of you. You only need to concentrate on training the new army."
When Wei Yuan heard this, he was so moved.
He quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, you treat your ministers like a father treats his son!"
"Thank you very much!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if I die, I will help Your Majesty and train an elite army and strong generals!"
Sometimes, drinking some wine can often reveal your 'true feelings', even if you are pretending, it still seems to be true.
Like a father to his son.
When Zhao Zhen heard these four words, he was extremely happy.
If Wei Yuan did not taint himself, Zhao Zhen was still worried.
After all, Wei Yuan's reputation among the people is really good.
A good reputation means prestige.
In the future, if a new king succeeds him a hundred years later, will he be able to suppress him?
Now, Quan Bian Jingdu said that Wei Yuan's true nature has been exposed and he is greedy for money and lust. Zhao Zhen no longer has to worry about it. Wei Yuan's prestige and reputation in the future will surpass that of the new king.
As long as a person is greedy for money and lust, he will have weaknesses.
And Wei Yuan was not only greedy for money and lustful, but also loyal and loyal enough. What emperor wouldn't like such a minister?
Zhao Zhen helped Wei Yuan up and said seriously: "The king is like a father, and the minister is like a son. I should take care of you."
He didn't use the word "care", but "care".
Hearing this, Wei Yuan cried.
Crying uncontrollably.
He thought about all the saddest things in his life.
Finally shed tears.
With the situation being sensationalized to such an extent, Wei Yuan said that it was really unjustifiable without shedding some tears.
When Zhao Zhen saw the general galloping on the battlefield, who was hailed as the invincible Wei by the world, he cried loudly and was stunned for a moment.
After a pause, he asked: "Wei Qing, why is this happening?"
Wei Yuan cried and said:
"I lost my father when I was young. What Your Majesty did to me made me feel that Your Majesty is my father!"
After saying that, he pretended to change his expression, knelt down on the ground again, kowtowed and said:
"I have transgressed. I am guilty of death. I am rebellious and unethical. I am disobedient. I am talking nonsense. I hope your Majesty will punish you. Please punish me!"
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen smiled and helped him up again.
"Wei Qing, good Wei Qing, what are you guilty of?"
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank God for giving me another Wei Yuan after Di Qing."
"Okay, it's getting late, you have a good rest. Tomorrow, I will discuss with your teacher and others about forming a new army."
"As the commander-in-chief of the new army, if you have any ideas or requests, just say them."
Wei Yuan pretended to stumble and fell two steps, pretending that he was drunk, and bowed in a dizzy state:
"I accept the decree!"
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen smiled.
Then, leave here.
He had just taken two steps when he heard a thud. Wei Yuan knelt down again and said loudly:
"Your Majesty is like a green mountain, and your minister is like a pine and cypress. I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen was stunned. He turned around slowly and looked at Wei Yuan again, saying earnestly:
"Wei Qing, I am old. I am not your green mountain. I am optimistic about you."
After that, he left here with the help of the palace maid.
Wei Yuan didn't know whether Zhao Zhen had gone far. Anyway, he was in a dark corner, desperately pressing his fingers into his throat.
God will not let down those who work hard. He finally vomited.
Zhu Zongguan reported this matter to Zhao Zhen who had returned to the palace.
"Your Majesty, General Wei drank a lot today and vomited."
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he remembered what Wei Yuan had just said, shook his head and smiled:
"It is said that the truth comes out after drinking. I am blessed by God to have Wei Qing."
"It's a pity that I am old. If I were younger, I might have a good story with Wei Qing as a monarch and minister."
"Xi'er is also lucky. With his protection in the future, foreign affairs can be settled."
After that.
Zhao Zhen was no longer sleepy.
He wrote a volume of imperial edict in person.
The content of the imperial edict was very simple.
Wei Yuan wrote "True Records of Military Training" and made contributions to the country, so he was ordered to serve as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
The Great Zhou Dynasty respected the right.
Originally, there was only one assistant minister in the Ministry of War, and that was Yu Yanhong's father.
But now, Wei Yuan served as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, so Yu Yanhong's father could only be the left assistant minister.
Although the position and rank have not changed much, the power is not as good as that of the right assistant minister.
Zhao Zhen let Wei Yuan enter the Ministry of War for his own considerations.
First, he attached great importance to the establishment of a new army and did not want the Ministry of War to have any problems. As for the Privy Council, he did not have to worry too much.
Second, after Wei Yuan became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, he could directly participate in the government.
Zhao Zhen wanted to train Wei Yuan so that he could become a minister to the new monarch a hundred years later.
Of course, this was just his idea at this stage. As for the future, if there were any variables, it would not be controlled by him and Wei Yuan.
"Wei Qing, although you have military merits, your qualifications are still shallow. I can only do so much for you for the time being."
"I hope you will not live up to my trust in you."
Zhao Zhen muttered to this point, and suddenly remembered what Wei Yuan said when he was drunk,
"You are my father. The monarch is like a green mountain, and the minister is like a pine and cypress."
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen's mouth corners slightly raised.
Good Wei Qing.
