"Grain money" Adric said without hesitation: "Draw local garrison troops, assemble Yanjing, and counterattack the whole army, now every day there are second-line and third-line local garrisons from the south to Yanjing, so many mouths to eat, so many troops to arm, but we have just experienced a big war, the finances have almost collapsed, and the rich land in the north and the middle of the empire has almost all been lost.
In the south, because I have drawn too many garrisons, some places have begun to unstabilize a big mess, and there are a lot of problems, in the final analysis, it is money and food."
"No, I think that the biggest difficulty of the general at present is not the money or the food, but it is just the appearance."
When the old prime minister said this, he paused deliberately, and then suddenly raised his eyelids, stared at Adrick tightly, and said in a deep voice: "The biggest difficulty of the general is that His Majesty does not trust you, and he restricts his elbows everywhere."
Adric suddenly changed color, his eyes shining brightly, and he glared at the prime minister in front of him.
"General, isn't what I, an old man, said wrongly" The prime minister smiled lightly and said leisurely: "Six days ago, the Southern Karanan Local Corps transferred 2,000 people, and the military department approved 1,000 sets of weapons and 10 days of military salaries, but the Government Council only approved 70%.
Three days ago, the General Logistics Administration of the Military Department applied for 1.2 million yuan in military spending, but when it arrived at the Government Affairs Bureau, it was cut off by 40% and the new army formed by the previous transfer of southern troops, but His Majesty suddenly ordered the transfer of 2,000 elites to supplement the Royal Forest Army."
The old man knows everything he knows, he is also a diligent prime minister, these things are clearly contained in his own heart, and when he says it at this moment, he doesn't even have to think about it.
Adric's face became more and more ugly, and he said coldly: "These things are all approved by the military department, my lord. ” "Adric, of course you should understand that those approvals, although they are my decrees, are not my own meaning."
Adric's face turned pale, he looked at the prime minister, and finally said in a dull voice: "I, Adric, am dedicated to the country, and I don't have to think about it, and I don't want to think about it."
"Naive."
The old man made such an assessment coldly, and looked at Adric: "General, with all due respect, although you are outstanding in military strategy and your loyalty to the empire is impeccable, but with your personality and surname, if you are a general on one side, or serve as a corps commander, you are absolutely competent, but for the position of Minister of War, in fact, you are not a suitable candidate."
Your last name is too extreme, and a lot of the time it's naïve. ” Adric didn't laugh angrily, and looked at the prime minister: "My lord, are you here to persuade me to resign?"
"Of course not" The old prime minister looked serious: "At the head of the national crisis, you are now the pillar of the army, and now you can save the country and save the situation, so although you are not the right person, you are the only candidate for the military affairs of the empire, and now only you can support it." ” Adric smiled faintly: "Then I'm confused, Prime Minister, what is your purpose?"
"The ministers are strong, the lords are weak, and the country is not solid, this is your biggest crisis now" The prime minister said lightly: "I know, even if you control the elbow, you must have complaints in your heart, but you should also understand that Your Majesty is doing this, not that he doesn't trust you, but that he can't trust you to be any emperor, any emperor, in this case, it is absolutely impossible to trust you."
Adric was silent.
"The army of the Empire, you must not be the voice of only you, Adric, no emperor can allow this situation to continue.
Even if you Adric are brave and loyal, even if you are really dedicated to the country" Salenbonelli's tone suddenly sharpened, and he said coldly: "You are not a stupid person, you should understand this truth, Lord Adric, I came today just to talk to you about cooperation" Adric raised an eyebrow.
"You don't have to look at me like that."
The old prime minister said lightly: "Although I am old, I am not dim.
My loyalty to the empire will not be half a point less than yours, when Yanjing was besieged, I said that I, Salembonili, would never be the prime minister of the fallen country."
"Tell me what you came for."
Adrick said coldly: "I'm a soldier, I don't like to beat around the bush, what does the prime minister have to teach me, just say it." ” "If Your Majesty wants to doubt you, someone must divide some of your authority and power in the army."
Salembonili said lightly: "The art of balance has always been like this.
Now Your Majesty is suspicious of you, because your Adric's influence in the army is too big and too strong, but if someone divides your influence, then Your Majesty will be much more relieved, and your Adric's situation will improve a lot.
I don't think I need to say anything more, you can understand it. ” "Lord Duke Minas" Adric raised the corners of his mouth and said with a faint smile: "I also used to be Lord Duke's old subordinate, Lord Duke is like a teacher to me, if Lord Duke goes out of the mountain, of course I will try my best to cooperate."
If that's what you're here for, then you don't have to worry at all, as long as the Duke comes back from the mountain, I, Adric, will strongly agree.
It's just that the Prime Minister, who is delaying the revival of the old duke now, is not what I meant.
And this matter is not something I can control. ” Adric's words, of course, Salembonili understood: whether the Duke of Minas could be resurrected or not was decided by the one in the palace.
However, Adric's approving attitude still reassured the old prime minister a little.
Moreover, the old man who was old in the sea could see from Adric's eyes that this iron-clad general did not prevaricate with him, he was telling the truth, and he was sincerely willing to welcome the Duke of Minas back.
I don't care at all that someone comes to weaken my authority, just this one, Adric's defense is worthy of the Prime Minister's admiration "Your Majesty has Your Majesty's concerns, and we, as courtiers, don't say much."
The prime minister said lightly: "However, I have a way to urge Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible, so that the matter of Duke Minas's resurrection will be known immediately, but I need the cooperation of the general, I don't know you" "Do you want me to go into the palace and persuade Your Majesty," Adric smiled.
The prime minister shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Our Majesty's surname, I think you know that the general knows that if you persuade you, it will have the opposite effect on things."
Your Majesty may be suspicious of you and the old duke, but I'm afraid that it won't be beautiful, so" Adric was silent for a while, raised his head, looked into the prime minister's eyes, the two looked at each other for a moment, and the general finally nodded: "I understand how to do it." ” When the old prime minister heard this, Huo Ran stood up, bowed deeply to Adric, looked sincere, and said slowly: "Thank you" Adric turned sideways and said lightly: "You are the prime minister, I don't dare to accept such a big gift." ” "This worship is not for me, but for the sake of this country, you know the righteousness and deserve this gift" No one knew about this secret visit of the Prime Minister that night.
The next morning, another secret matter quickly spread throughout Yanjing from various channels.
It is said that early in the morning Adric, the Minister of War, came to the palace to meet His Majesty and put forward an armament plan for the reorganization of the army.
As usual, Emperor Garcia did not immediately agree to all the demands of Adric's plan, but found fault with them.
Again, as usual, there were disagreements and some arguments among the kings and ministers.
But in the past, although Adrick's surname was stubborn, he often gave up after arguing, after all, the status of the monarch and the minister was there, and he could only endure leaving silently.
But this time, Adric was extraordinarily tough According to rumors from the attendants who served His Majesty at that time in the palace, Adric was unceremoniously yelling at His Majesty at that time, and his behavior was very "disrespectful", and even in front of His Majesty, Adric clenched his fists and said offensive words in his words.
In the end, His Majesty couldn't help but angrily reprimand Adric: "He is like this, but there is a king in his heart who does not obey his will, what should he do?"
Adric replied: "I should be self-determined" After saying that, Adric turned and left, not even saluting like the emperor, and swaggering out of the palace, so angry that Emperor Garcia's face turned pale, and afterwards smashed the furnishings in the room.
Adrick actually did what he said, and he really "self-determined" the military order, which he forcibly implemented in the name of the Minister of War What made the emperor even more angry was that according to the imperial decree, the implementation of this kind of military order, in addition to the issuance of the Minister of War himself, must be endorsed by the emperor's seal, but the military order written by Adric, without the endorsement of the emperor, is unimpeded in the army, and no one in the whole army cares whether this military order is "legal" or not This situation made Emperor Garcia not only angry, but more of a panic Subsequently, that night, the Prime Minister entered the palace again to meet His Majesty.
Seeing the emperor's still pale and annoyed face, the old prime minister sighed in his heart that Adric was indeed a man who kept his promises.

In order to cooperate with himself, he actually did this kind of thing.
It's just that he should know very well that by doing this, he is also burying a catastrophe for himself and the future.
"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer."
The old prime minister spoke softly, and then took out something from his bosom and offered it.
"I have just come out of the palace of the Duke of Minas, and this is the proposal of some of his articles on the plan for the establishment of the army, written by the Duke of Minas himself.
And the Duke of Minas talked to me at length for an afternoon, and he" "Prime Minister, you should know, I can't trust this family" Garcia's face was gloomy.
"The Duke of Minas said that he wanted the little lord of Roddy to serve the country in the army, and after Roddy joined the army, he was afraid that he had no experience in taking care of the family, and the old duke wanted to ask His Majesty for mercy and allow him to be sent to the palace to raise him as the eldest grandson of the family, if His Majesty is willing to accept his eldest grandson as a righteous son, it will be a great kindness."
"Eldest Grandson" Garcia's face suddenly changed Because of the relationship between the two families, Roddy is his playmate since childhood, and he is very familiar with each other, Roddy has been suppressed by his family and cannot take revenge, and his life has been unruly in the past few years, although he has never married a wife until now, but the dignified little duke of the Minas family, where will there really be a shortage of women around him Roddy naturally had a few lovers outside, and I heard that one of them also gave birth to a son, but because he was not born out of wedlock, he could not be officially included in the genealogy of the Minas family.
"It's just an illegitimate child, and it's not worth being a proton."
Garcia frowned.
"The duke said that the little duke is going to get married and marry the child's mother, so the child is naturally the rightful eldest grandson of the Minas family."
The emperor's face suddenly changed, and his eyes lit up It can be said that the conditions offered by the Minas family, and the sacrifices made, are already quite amazing Luo Di's lover raised outside is definitely not a wealthy lady, but he is afraid that his background may be very low.
But he was willing to marry a beginner as a wife, so for the Minas family, such a move was already a very big sacrifice Roddy got married, and that illegitimate son was the third-generation future heir of the rightful Minas family, and he was placed in the court as a proton, and the weight was enough Moreover, the hostages are not hostages, but the sincerity of the Minas family is willing to make such huge sacrifices and concessions is really not small Although the worries in his heart may not be completely dispelled, he suddenly remembered that this morning, Adric entered the palace, and if there was no one in the army to restrain him in such an arrogant posture in front of him, I am afraid that Garcia finally let out a long sigh, looking tired and helpless.
He looked at the Prime Minister and turned to walk away.
The prime minister stood in place, seeing that the emperor was leaving, his expression was anxious, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty" "Okay, I'll agree" Garcia stopped, Huo Ran looked back at the prime minister: "I agreed" "Your Majesty is wise."
The old prime minister wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's just, about the position arrangement of the Duke of Minas" This time, the emperor strode away without looking back, far away, and threw a word fiercely.
"The Prime Minister will look at it."
That night, another incident caused a sensation in Yanjing The Duke of Minas, who had been dormant for many years, was officially reinstated as Deputy Minister of Imperial Affairs, Chief of Staff, Commander of the Guards, and awarded the rank of Imperial Marshal.
Luo Di, the son of the Duke of Minas, was awarded the rank of general of the Yanjing Guards and the post of deputy chief of the imperial department.
Yanjing was shaken `` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
