Chapter 972: Disaster lies ahead

Many people are lacking in the concept of production safety.氰

The general idea is that when other people have accidents, it is due to bad luck. I am extremely lucky, how could something happen?

The specific details are, what is the difference between gunpowder piled under the wall and piled in a closed warehouse? They are piles anyway, and if something happens, you can't hide no matter where you pile it.

Sober people stand on the sidelines and think that such people are ignorant and pathetic.

But not everyone is sober, and most people in this era do not have awareness of safety knowledge.

They felt that after gunpowder was manufactured, it was piled in a distant warehouse and required labor to carry it. Then someone would soon come to pick up the gunpowder, and labor would be needed to move the gunpowder out of the warehouse. Repeating the process was a waste of manpower and material resources.

Li Qinzai could allow the craftsmen and servants to be ignorant without blaming them.

But as a firearms supervisor, if he does not have safety awareness, it will be a disaster for both the individual and the country.

Such a person must never sit in this position again. It will kill many people and delay the important affairs of the court.

"Fu Youyi, right? Just wait until he is dismissed from office. If I were you, I would go to the house to pack my luggage right now and get out of here in a few hours." Li Qinzai sneered.

Fu Youyi's voice became shrill, like an uncut eunuch in the palace.

"Why do you have it? Who do you think you are? You are just a favored official of the emperor. What qualifications do you have to dismiss me from office?"

Li Qinzai smiled: "Didn't you just say that? Just because I am favored by the emperor."

After a pause, Li Qinzai added: "By the way, and all the gunpowder and firearms in the Tang Dynasty, as well as the nearest mines, were all made by me. In this regard, I have the supreme authority. If the emperor doesn't want to

Even if something happens, he has to listen to me, is that enough?"

Fu Youyi was startled, his face became even more livid, and he stood in front of Li Qinzai, trembling with anger.

"Fu Youyi, if your backer has fallen, go find your own backer. Don't make fun of national affairs. You have gone too far and all nine clans will suffer. By deposing you today, I can actually save your life and that of your clan."

After saying that, Li Qinzai turned around and left.

Liu Shenli hesitated for a moment and hurriedly followed Li Qinzai.

"Forgive me, Mr. Li County, but I am a low-ranking official who is incompetent..."

Li Qinzai said coldly: "You are indeed incompetent. Firearms supervision has such huge hidden dangers. Even if you can't stop Fu Youyi, why don't you report it? If something happens to the workshop, have you ever thought about what will happen to you?"

Liu Shenli was sweating coldly, and said with a wry smile: "The public of Li County, because Li Yifu and his clan members were accused, Fu Youyi was also implicated. I heard there is a rumor from above that when spring comes, the officials will demote Fu Youyi to Lingnan."

Being the chief clerk of the county government is like being demoted several levels in a row."

"Fu Youyi heard the news and has been particularly grumpy recently, but he has no choice but to do anything about it, so he dares to contradict anyone he sees, no matter how big or small he is. He is afraid that he has already risked his life. That's why he dares to be so rude to you today."

Li Qinzai sighed: "You are wrong. I want to dismiss him from office, not because of his rudeness, but because he has done something wrong. The things in the hands of the Firearms Supervisor are devastating, and no mistakes are allowed."

Li Qinzai quickly returned to Chang'an City. After entering the city, he did not stop and went straight to Tai Chi Palace.

In front of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, Li Qinzai told the truth about what he saw and heard in the firearms inspection in detail. Li Zhi suddenly became furious and immediately issued an order to dismiss Fu Youyi from office and ordered Dali Temple to question him.

The matter is not a big deal, it can be settled by talking between the monarch and his ministers. As for Fu Youyi's fate...

Who cares about the fate of this little guy?

Under the waves, he is just a speck of dust.

However, when Li Zhi was talking to Li Qinzai, an unpredictable light flashed in the eyes of Empress Wu sitting next to her.

…………

Two hours later, Fu Youyi walked out of the Firearms Prison in despair. His official uniform had been stripped off and he was only wearing a white undershirt. There were two Dali Temple guards escorting him behind him.

Yes, Li Qinzai was indeed able to depose him, and he did so vigorously and resolutely.

When an official like Fu Youyi makes a mistake, he cannot simply be dismissed and everything will be fine.

He was a young prisoner of the Firearms Supervision Bureau and mastered the secrets of gunpowder manufacturing. Of course, Li Zhi would not allow such a person to roam around after being dismissed from office.

Even if Li Zhi is a wise king and will not kill people easily, it is also the right thing to do to sit in jail.

In other words, even though Fu Youyi saved his life, he will basically never see the light of day in this life.

Huddled in the corner of the Dali Temple prison, his nose was filled with the smell of dampness and rancidity, but Fu Youyi's expression was numb.

As early as the day when his backer Li Yifu fell, Fu Youyi knew that his career had come to an end. Offending Li Qinzai today was just an inducement. Even if nothing happened today, his fate would not have changed in any way.

At this time, Fu Youyi was already heartbroken.

During the years in prison, Fu Youyi didn't know how long it was cold or hot day and night. She couldn't remember how long she huddled up until the jailer came over with a big wooden bucket to put food.

The food in the prison was certainly not delicious, and Fu Youyi could not be treated as well as Li Qinzai.

A dumpling of wild vegetables that smelled rancid was thrown on the damp ground, covered in dust and mud. The jailer turned around and walked to the next cell.

I don't know how long it took, but Fu Youyi finally felt hungry, so she crawled towards the wild vegetable dumpling with difficulty.

Fu Youyi opened it with a dull expression and was about to bite it when he suddenly found a rolled-up note inside the wild vegetable dumpling.

Fu Youyi was stunned and carefully unfolded the note. The fonts on it were as small as fly legs. Fu Youyi read it carefully, a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly stuffed the note into his mouth and swallowed it.

Caught off guard, a burst of wild laughter came from the Dali Temple prison, which echoed in the gloomy prison and sounded terrifying.

…………

The New Year has passed, and the jubilant atmosphere among the people has gradually settled down.

There are 360 ​​days in a year, and it is impossible to celebrate the New Year every day. After all, we still have to run for a living.

The envoys from various countries spent an unforgettable New Year in Chang'an, and one after another expressed their farewells to Li Zhi.

The imperial court is very generous, and it always shows the magnanimity of a great nation when it comes to returning gifts. It is so generous that it makes people feel heartbroken.

The envoys from various countries returned with full loads, and each one left Chang'an City happily.

Of course, there were also some who were not very happy, such as the Tibetan envoy Zashile.

This time, on behalf of Tubo to congratulate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zashile received several beatings. Each beating was different, with different parts of the body being beaten and different people beating him.

Li Qinzai, Japan, and Silla all left the mark of love on him.

It seems miserable, but I am afraid of comparison in everything.

Compared with what happened to Zashile, the experience of the envoys of Silla Kingdom was even worse.氰

After leaving Chang'an City, the Silla envoy brought generous gifts from the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. When the team arrived outside Jizhou City, Silla envoy Jin Wenying was assassinated by a group of masked assassins.

The assassination came very suddenly, and the assassins left as quickly as they came. Almost in an instant, the entire Silla delegation was slaughtered, leaving only Jin Wenying's life.
