Chapter 70 This king likes the most ingenious and lewd tricks!(1/2)

"Hahaha... Your Highness, Your Highness is really good at joking..."

When I heard this from the letter, I was stunned for a moment, and then I smiled awkwardly a few times. I thought that His Highness of Qin was making some jokes with him, so I immediately chuckled and shook my head, preparing to expose this topic.

But who knew that His Highness, King of Qin, did not seem to understand, but continued to speak seriously.

"I am not joking. Since I am doing so hard for the Ministry of Works, I am the prince and the king of a country, so I should help you..."

After saying that, he looked at the crowd in the audience with a proper look and said with sincerity.

That expression seemed to be really worried about the difficulties of the Ministry of Works and wanted to help the Ministry of Works to solve the problems.

For a moment, His Highness the King of Qin's behavior really made the vast majority of people in the field believe it!

They all looked admiring and impressed. Obviously, they did not expect that His Highness, the King of Qin, was not only a pioneer in the country to abolish the officials, but also worried about the country and the people, and cared about the world!

But at this moment, Gao Jin, Zhao Long and Guan Fei were the only ones who suffered.

Let the three of them hide behind His Highness King Qin, watching His Highness King Qin perform without any trace, but they must forcefully hold back their smiles...

"this……"

After hearing this from the letter, he looked at His Highness the sincere expression of His Highness Qin, and couldn't help but look at each other with the officials of the Ministry of Works beside him, but they all saw a look of confusion in the other party's eyes.

Could it be...

His Highness, King of Qin, is really sincere and wants to help my Ministry of Works?

"Since Your Highness is so intentional, why not donate some money and food to the Ministry of Works... wouldn't it be more direct and effective?"

I took advantage of the situation and wrote a letter down the slope. I immediately expressed that I wanted to help the Ministry of Works, why should I be so troublesome?

Just donate money and goods!

As for what you want to take away the skilled craftsmen from my Ministry of Works?

Haha... These craftsmen are all treasures from my work department, so how can they easily get along with others?!

"Hey~! This is a bad thing for the Shangshu!"

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he waved his hand immediately.

"Donating money and materials is simple and convenient, but it can only solve the urgent problem, not the root cause! If we divide some craftsmen and our Qin State, wouldn't we all come to the point and be happy?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the venue showed strange expressions, but they were silent.

The people brought by His Highness King Qin naturally smiled. Obviously, they were extremely impressed by His Highness’s methods!

If I hadn't been in front of the palace at this moment, I would have been able to laugh out loud!

However, all the officials of the Ministry of Works showed a look of difficulty. Obviously, they did not know how to deal with this sudden emergencies.

Especially when the letter from the Minister of Works, his face changed slightly at this moment, and he couldn't help but think in his heart!

‘What a sharp attack? I’m afraid it’s just this injection... it really hits the lifeline of my Ministry of Works!’

As the Minister of Works and has been in charge of Works for decades and has worked hard to train so many excellent craftsmen, how can he sit and see the most precious talents of Works easily leave?

Even if the person who opens his mouth is the current parent-child of His Majesty His Majesty the Holy Emperor, Zhao Zheng, the ninth prince of the Qin King who is famous in the court and the country, must not!!

So there is no need to think too much. Letter will not agree to such an "unreasonable" request. He immediately forced himself to calm down and responded with a smile.

"Haha... Your Highness is really humorous and funny. Although my department of the Ministry of Works is a little difficult, it is still no problem to support some craftsmen!"

He chuckled and shook his head when he said that, and then prepared to change the subject and skip this "dangerous trap".

At this moment, no matter whether His Highness Qin was on a whim or had already prepared, he would never have let go of the craftsman in the Ministry of Works!

Just kidding, if any royal relative came to the Ministry of Works and would take a few craftsmen back, then how could the Ministry of Works and works have to do it?

"Your Highness, let's go to the next workshop..."

"Oh, don't worry when I come to Shangshu. I happen to have a copy of the imperial edict from my father. It's better not to make a decision after accepting the edict!"

Zhao Zheng waved his hand with a smile, ignoring the little thoughts of Shangshu. Instead, he immediately took out a golden imperial edict from his sleeve and displayed it in front of everyone.

"Ah? Please see Your Majesty the Holy Emperor! Long live Your Majesty!"

Everyone at the scene, except Zhao Zheng and his party, was the first time they saw the imperial edict appear, and they knelt on the ground in shock, shouting repeatedly!

The law of Daqian meets the imperial edict, like a saint coming in person!

"Yunfa, come and read the imperial edict to all the lords of the Ministry of Works."

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but chuckled, but he immediately handed the imperial edict to Gao Jin, who was beside him, and signaled that he would come to read the imperial edict in public.

"Here!"

Gao Jin bowed his hand and immediately bowed slightly. After taking the imperial edict with both hands, he immediately spread out, coughed lightly and read it in public.

"The Holy Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: The King of Qin first enthroned the border counties of Qinchuan, and wars broke out frequently and disputes continued. It was urgent to need skilled craftsmen to go to Qin for help. Now the King of Qin is allowed to go directly to the Ministry of Works, select craftsmen, and transfer them to Qin for use! Qin... This!"

Word by word, it was like a chisel or a knock, and it made the hearts of all the officials of the Ministry of Works chisel and cold!

It was not until this time that everyone understood that His Highness King Qin was not on a whim. He accidentally walked to the Ministry of Works and wanted to come in and visit it at will?

It is obvious that I have been planning for a long time and have ulterior motives!!

But in the current imperial edict, who dares to say more?

Even if I was reluctant, at this moment, under the imperial edict, I could only behave in a regular manner and kowtowed to answer the edict.

"I... receive the order!"

After bowing deeply, Shangshu Lai stood up with difficulty. He took the imperial edict with his hands slightly trembling. He couldn't help but glance at it secretly, and immediately closed his eyes helplessly, feeling that his whole body was instantly drained from air force...

"Come to Shangshu, I can pick some craftsmen and take them back now, right?"

Zhao Zheng looked at Lai Shangshu with a curious look on his face. After saying that, he subconsciously said "yes", and even though he heard it, he couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart!

"This... with His Majesty's personal order, Your Highness can choose some craftsmen and return..."

Although I feel very reluctant to leave, I am at least a letter to be a minister, so I naturally have this kind of mind and demeanor.

What's more, if His Majesty the Holy Emperor personally wrote an imperial edict here, would he dare to have a word?

"Since that's the case...will you be polite?"

After Zhao Zheng finished speaking with a smile, he rubbed his hands excitedly and led everyone to wander around the huge metallurgical workshop, looking for those strong and capable craftsmen to come forward.

This expression, when I read the letter from the Minister of Works, I couldn't help but feel the thunderous, and I suddenly recalled it!

It seems that there is no limit on the number of people in His Majesty’s personal edict just now...

this???

"this!"

"Hey! There's this!"

"that!"

"And that! That! That!"

"This! That! All! Hahaha!"

Zhao Zheng led Gao Jin, Guan Fei and Zhao Long to rush around the huge metallurgical workshop, but he was very excited. He picked and selected the workshop at will, and ordered soldiers and generals.

But he didn't choose one person, and the three people standing beside him would forcibly stuff a little bit of white silver into the hand of the craftsman.

Although these craftsmen touched their heads and didn't understand why the adults suddenly gave rewards, the money they gave was given for free...

Just fools, shouldn't you?!

So these lucky-selected craftsmen naturally chose to hold the silver tightly in their hands, while the craftsmen around them who were not selected by His Highness the King of Qin were already unintentional to make irons, stretching their necks or showing their muscles, hoping that His Highness the King of Qin could pick him and give him silver!

But this scene, in the eyes of the letter from the Minister of Works who followed closely, really made him feel extremely heartbroken and he quickly begged for mercy.

"Your Highness...is OK..."

"I dare not choose any more... Your Highness!"

"Your Highness... I'm really no one to choose again!!"

Zhao Zheng turned a deaf ear to this. If he seized such a good opportunity and let it go in vain, wouldn’t he be no different from a fool?

So after picking so quickly for a while, when he finally received Gao Jin's gaze signal, he felt quite satisfied and stopped immediately as if he was not satisfied enough.

"Well... the Ministry of Works is not easy to handle, so I can only choose such a few people today!"

Zhao Zheng looked understanding and patted the shoulder of the letter from the Minister of Works, indicating that I only chose such a little bit of people for your sake!

"I... thank you for your highness."

When the officials of the Ministry of Works heard this, they all cried and forced a few smiles. Instead, they also thanked His Highness Qin for his "rare understanding" on the spot.

"Hey~, come to Shangshu, why are you twisting your face? Just smile..."

Zhao Zheng looked at the forced smile that Shangshu forced out, and couldn't help laughing. He waved his hand like a great mood and said on the spot.

"Hahahaha! I am in a good mood today, so you can accompany me to visit another workshop for a while?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Ministry of Works suddenly changed!

Ah? Still visiting?
To be continued...
