Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Ministry of War.

Song Yuan supported his chin with his hands, looking shaky.

On the podium.

Zhao Sihai was spitting everywhere, and he glanced at Song Yuan from time to time, his heart full of lamentations.

The eldest prince looked like he hadn't listened to what he had just said at all.

If this happened on the battlefield, it would be a real loss.

I'm afraid that as the eldest prince's nominal teacher, I will also be implicated?

But how would Zhao Sihai know?

At this moment, Song Yuan's nonchalant look was just an act.

Deep down, Song Yuan had already thoroughly understood what Zhao Sihai was talking about.

It even merged with the memories learned in the previous life, and has brought about a great change in the current battlefield.

The reason why I have to pretend.

The biggest purpose is to take it lightly.

Now, although Song Yuan's popularity has decreased a lot with the departure of the barbarians, there are still many eyes staring at him.

If Song Yuan could show his extraordinary talent at such a critical moment.

Whether or not one can reach the border safely is definitely a big problem.

Song Yuan had no doubt that if he showed any interest in what Zhao Sihai said, the other party would definitely take the opportunity to communicate with him.

Just based on what I said, wouldn’t Zhao Sihai be shocked?

If the reputation of his genius in military strategy were to spread in the imperial city, he would have truly offended people, not to mention the Third Prince.

I'm afraid even the third prince's father-in-law might not be able to sit still.

Adding Song Youji to the mix... Song Yuan didn't even dare to imagine what the scene would be like at that time.

"Sometimes being too good isn't necessarily a good thing!"

In his heart, Song Yuan sighed, without feeling the slightest bit of guilt for his shamelessness.

The next second, just as Song Yuan was feeling complacent, a scream suddenly came from the courtyard.

"Oh no, oh no, General Zhao, the Duke of Wei is here!"

"what?"

A guard stumbled in and said something that made the young Zhao Sihai's face change instantly.

Seeing Zhao Sihai's expression, Song Yuan was surprised.

In his impression, Zhao Sihai, as a rising young man in the Ministry of War, coupled with the relationship between General Zhao and Song Youji, is definitely one of the wealthy families under the powerful Prime Minister Lin Fu.

As for the so-called Duke of Wei, Song Yuan had never heard of such a title.

Why would Zhao Sihai be afraid of such an unknown little person?

"Who exactly is this Duke of Wei?"

As the saying goes, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Song Yuan, with a bit of curiosity, came forward immediately.

Faced with such a question, Zhao Sihai couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Your Highness, have you never even heard of the title of Duke of Wei?"

I know him...why?

Song Yuan was slightly stunned by what he said.

Before I traveled through time, the original host was simply a loser who never left the house. It was not surprising that he didn't recognize those old people.

"By the way, Your Highness has been keeping a low profile. Let me introduce you to him."

Zhao Sihai quickly figured out the reason and immediately spoke up to explain the heroic deeds of the Duke of Wei.

Finally, Song Yuan was stunned when he heard it.

He could never have imagined that this old man in his fifties could have such a glorious history.

five years ago.

As a loyal minister of Song Youji, Duke Wei often appeared in the imperial palace.

This person has a hot temper, even worse than the current General Zhao.

But Song Youji was very tolerant towards Duke Wei and never punished him.

It is said that every time the Duke of Wei did something out of line, someone would report it to Song Youji, and in the end the matter would always be resolved.

The final punishment is at most just a fine.

As the amount accumulated over and over again, some people said that the Duke of Wei's salary had been deducted until one hundred and seventy years later.

If the Duke of Wei had always been active in the public eye, General Zhao would probably have no chance now.

But five years ago, the barbarians suddenly emerged.

Suddenly, a powerful force erupted, and the collision with Daqin officially began.

As a result, the Qin Dynasty suffered a great defeat.

Some people even advocated ceding territory and paying compensation just for a short period of peace.

In the end, it was the Duke of Wei who directly chopped down a man during the morning court session, and then, holding a scabbard in his hand, beat a group of ministers who were trying to negotiate peace, making them cry for their parents.

This is why the Qin Dynasty took a tough stance before.

However, although the peace faction failed in this matter, Duke Wei also paid a heavy price.

Song Youji was finally forced to expel Duke Wei from the court.

This calmed the anger of the crowd.

Although the Duke of Wei retained his status, he had lost the qualification to attend court and listen to reports.

From then on, he became even more indifferent to worldly affairs and gradually faded out from the crowd.

It soon disappeared from the public eye.

"This...what's so great about this old man?"

After hearing the last part, Song Yuan was amazed. The experience of Duke Wei was really too amazing.

He caused a big disturbance in the court, but in the end he was just expelled.

If this happened to another person, even beheading would be considered a light punishment, and the entire family would be executed.

Duke Wei seemed to have received a heavy punishment, but in fact, it was more like protection.

Being so favored by Song Youji, it's no surprise that he did something bastard.

Coming to your door now may not mean anything good.

"This is bad, Your Highness. You should retreat first. I'm afraid this old bastard is coming for you."

"He's a notorious tough guy in the court. Whoever he sets his sights on is immediately in trouble. You absolutely must not get entangled with him, or you'll probably suffer in the future."

Zhao Sihai continued to try to comfort her.

But unexpectedly, a strong voice suddenly came from behind.

"Who is that idiot who said bad things about me behind my back?"

Zhao Sihai shuddered all over and turned around subconsciously, seeing an old man with a stubble, who looked like Zhang Fei, with a face as black as charcoal.

His eyes were wide open, staring at him intently.

"Uncle Wei, you heard wrongly, I was just praising you!"

"Don't you usually live a life of luxury in your own house? What brings you here today?"

Zhao Sihai's expression changed, and there was a hint of flattery in his smile.

Song Yuan kept shaking his head when he saw this.

Is this still the General Zhao in my impression?

During the few days the two of them had been together, Zhao Sihai had always maintained a businesslike attitude towards his subordinates and even his peers.

Even when facing his own prince, he rarely smiles.

Such a serious person, now facing this ruffian Wei, suddenly changed his temperament.

From this point alone, it is not difficult to see how great the influence of this Wei family is.

"Where is the eldest prince?"

Faced with this scene, Song Yuan crossed his arms and decided to watch the show.

Unexpectedly, Duke Wei did not pursue the matter too much. Instead, he opened his mouth and directly mentioned Song Yuan's name.

Damn it, this old rascal isn't really going to cause trouble for me, is he?

Song Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously wanted to retreat. What he didn't expect was that in response to such questioning, Zhao Sihai actually turned around and glanced at him straight in the eye.

If you look at me at this moment, aren't you exposing me?

Song Yuan's heart suddenly sank.

I cursed in my heart.

Sure enough, this time Zhao Sihai didn't need to respond at all, the Duke of Wei turned around directly.

There was a hint of amusement in the look he gave Song Yuan.

"Are you the eldest prince?"

"I……"

Can I answer that I am not?

Song Yuan's face wrinkled into a ball. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded and said, "I wonder if Duke Wei has any advice for you?"

"Okay, it's okay if you're Song Yuan. Stop talking nonsense and just follow me!"

Duke Wei didn't explain at all. While speaking, he grabbed Song Yuan's shoulders from behind.

Song Yuan still wanted to resist, but the power coming from the other party's hand made his face change instantly.

This old man is definitely a master!

Duke Wei was carrying Song Yuan like a chick, and was about to cross the threshold when he finally spoke, without turning his head, to Zhao Sihai behind him.

"Zhao family kid, I'm taking the eldest prince to the Ministry of Works. Tell the truth to anyone who asks. Don't worry, he's with me, he won't get lost!"

Song Yuan's heart, which had been in the air, also skipped a beat with this explanation.

This old rascal took me to the Ministry of Industry...what for?

I’m afraid it’s because of those craftsmen?

How could this news spread so quickly?

Even the scoundrels knew about the reversal of Dama Steel so quickly?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Song Yuan's mind.

The two people behind him stared at the scene in a daze. It was not until they disappeared that the men beside Zhao Sihai spoke in a panic.

"General, let's quickly report the news that the eldest prince has been kidnapped!"

"Report it? Who are you going to tell? Do you think anyone in the court can control the Duke of Wei?"

Zhao Sihai had a helpless look on his face and finally waved his hand.

"Alright, you just heard it. The old bastard came here because of the Ministry of Industry. It's because of the steel that the eldest prince had produced earlier."

"Although that old bastard's actions are absurd, he is still quite decent. Now that he needs help, he won't do anything to the Crown Prince. You should just worry about your own mind!"
