Lu Dynasty

Chapter 428
Liu Bian had experienced court struggles, and later studied under Xi Zhicai.He is naturally quite familiar with these methods.When Liu Bian heard what I said, he immediately understood that I wanted Ma Jun to be Liu Ye's deputy.Liu Bian said with a smile: "Lu Qing is very thoughtful, since you think it is better to do so, let Ma Qing be a special envoy to supervise the work of the Ministry of Industry!"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Prime Minister, this matter is probably inappropriate! I think Mr. Ma should be around 21 or [-] years old. If he is the special envoy to supervise the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid that some officials of the Ministry of Industry will not accept it!" Kong Rong is like this, as long as there is something he can't see or understand, he has to ask.

"Lord Kong, don't worry, I guarantee that Master Ma will be competent!" Seeing that even I had come forward to guarantee Ma Jun, Kong Rong stopped talking.Kong Rong also knew that I would never do anything I was not sure about.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty! I want to recommend another person!" Ma Jun actually put me in front of Liu Bian.Fortunately, all the people in the court are my people, otherwise there might be people who would investigate Ma Jun for his disrespect to the emperor.

Liu Bian said with a smile: "Ma Aiqing is loyal to the country! Just as she took office, she wanted to promote talents for the country. Tell me, who do you want to recommend?"

Ma Jun scratched his head and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, what I want to recommend is my friend. He is good at smelting, and all the ironware he makes are always stronger and more durable than others. If I can invite him, I think the big man's weapon manufacturing The level will definitely be improved again." In fact, Ma Jun wanted to recommend Pu Yuan after joining Cao Cao in history, but at that time, Pu Yuan had already joined Liu Bei.Later, Ma Jun found that he was not doing well under Cao's command, so he no longer wanted to recommend Pu Yuan.

"You don't avoid relatives when you raise internally, and you don't avoid enemies when you raise externally. Mr. Ma really has the style of the ancients." Kong Rong interrupted Ma Jun's words, and said eccentrically: "The carpenter recommends the blacksmith. You are like no one before, and no one will come after you." !"

I laughed and said, "Master Kong, why do you do this? Let's hear who Master Ma recommends before making a decision, how about that?" Kong Rong had to sell me face anyway, so he backed off with a cold snort.I looked at the old master Kong Rong and shook my head, then motioned Ma Jun to continue.

"The person I want to recommend is named Pu Yuan..." Before Ma Jun finished speaking, I had already stood up.Other ministers don't know about Pu Yuan, but I do.The famous craftsmen Ma Jun and Pu Yuan of the Three Kingdoms, their names have been handed down for nearly 2000 years just like the loyal officials and generals in the Three Kingdoms period!
"Does Deheng know where Pu Yuan is?" I looked at Ma Jun seriously, knowing that in ancient times wars were fought with weapons.Two knives match each other, and whoever has the best knives can save his own life.Pu Yuan's knife can be said to be a myth among the weapons of the Three Kingdoms period!Looking at my serious expression, Ma Jun was at a loss. He thought he had said something wrong.When Ma Jun heard me ask him if he knew where Pu Yuan was, he nodded in confusion.I turned around and said to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict to conscript Pu Yuan into the court as an official, and inspect the Ministry of Industry with Ma Jun!"

"Is the prime minister making a fuss over a molehill? Just send someone to call Pu Yuan. Why do you have to issue an edict? No matter how good the weapons he makes, he is just a blacksmith. The prime minister has gone too far!" Kong Rong jumped again When he came out, his heart was good, but he didn't understand the importance of Pu Yuan, and he didn't know how good the knives made by Pu Yuan were.It's just that I have a good temper, Kong Rong repeatedly sang against me, and I can patiently explain to him.If it was someone else, Kong Rong would have been screwed!
"Master Kong, there is a reason why I did this. Pu Yuan's smelting ability is not so good. Let me tell you something about him, and you will understand. Once Pu Yuan beat a knife, in order to test the quality of the knife As far as the sharpness is concerned, the big bamboo tube is filled with iron beads, and then someone raises a knife to chop fiercely, and the result is "handy", just like cutting grass, the bamboo tube is suddenly broken into two pieces, and the iron beads in Jiannei are also " "One divides into two." His sword is so sharp. If all our soldiers use his sword, who else in the world is our opponent!" Although Kong Rong is not good at military affairs, he still understands whether a sword is good or bad. of.When Kong Rong heard what I said, a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"How did the Prime Minister know about this? In fact, I was there for the knife fight! Pu Yuan is more than just this skill. He is not only accomplished in knife fighting, but also very good at carpentry and machinery manufacturing. I heard that He is still working on a means of transportation that can walk on its own, called a cow or a horse." After thinking for a long time, Ma Jun didn't realize what kind of cow and horse Pu Yuan was studying.But I know that what he is talking about should be the wooden cow and horse invented by Zhuge Liang, who is known as the symbol of wisdom in later generations!
"Wooden Niu Liuma was actually made by Pu Yuan? Didn't you say it was invented by Zhuge Liang?" I knew that the Wooden Niu Liuma was invented by Zhuge Liang when I read Romance of the Three Kingdoms since I was a child, but now someone told me that it was invented by someone else, which made me feel very puzzled. .In fact, there is no record of who made the wooden cow and horse, but there are three theories. One is that it was invented by Zhuge Liang, the second is that it was made by Zhuge Liang's wife Huang, and the third is that it was made by Pu Yuan.But no matter who made the wooden cow and horse among the three of them, they are all Liu Bei's people.Therefore, it is normal for a wooden ox and a horse to be crowned on Zhuge Liang's head, because whether it is Zhuge Liang's wife Huang or Pu Yuan, without Zhuge Liang's consent, this thing can never be handed down. This kind of fetish is the most profitable when it is crowned on Zhuge Liang's head.If the Mu Niu Liu Ma was really made by Pu Yuan, and Pu Yuan came to my command, maybe thousands of years later, someone will credit me with the invention of the Mu Niu Liu Ma.Of course, I will never let this fetish disappear from the stage of history again!
When Ma Jun saw my appearance, he knew that I was a little moved. He smiled and said, "Does the prime minister want to invite Pu Yuan? If he does, he will hurry up. He is packing his luggage in Luoyang now, and he is going to the middle of Sichuan to find something for quenching." water!"

"What! Pu Yuan is in Luoyang? Ma Deheng, you didn't say it earlier!" I said to Liu Bian angrily: "Your Majesty, please close the nine gates of Luoyang quickly. Pu Yuan must not be let go. If he is allowed to escape , that would be my biggest loss for a big man!"

When did the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty see my anxious appearance? Liu Bian saw that I was anxious and ordered: "Lu Qing, now the imperial court has the full power of the court to you, so you can give orders!"

I nodded and ordered: "Gao Shun, immediately lead the trapped camp to close the Nine Gates of Luoyang. Lu Bu, you lead the wolf cavalry to surround the place where Pu Yuan is staying. I will personally invite Pu Yuan. Remember, you must never treat Pu Yuan. Rude, you can only block him in Luoyang City, and we will talk about everything when I get there!"
