This was obviously flattering. Even if Fang Jun created ten foundry bureaus, the position of the top man in the Ministry of War would still belong to the British public Li Ji.
Although the Lord Shangshu is a man who doesn't care much about things, Fang Jun knows that there is a gap in his heart. Anyone who is deceived by Li Ji's seemingly calm and happy-go-lucky appearance will have to suffer the consequences...
In terms of insidiousness, Li Ji may not be as good as Changsun Wuji; in terms of talent, he may not be as good as Fang Xuanling; but in terms of his ability to control the current situation and control the government, no one can match him!
Perhaps Li Ji's only weakness is that he gave birth to a rebellious grandson...
Seeing Fang Jun's expressionless face, Liu Shi secretly cursed in his heart that it was so difficult to serve him, and continued: "I'm just a humble official, but I don't understand one thing. How can Fang Shilang get the Ordnance Supervisor to agree to allocate the power to manufacture weapons and armor?
"
Fang Jun nodded slightly.
He is indeed worthy of being a child of a noble family. He will be able to become a Zhongshu Ling figure in the future, and he will be able to deal with problems to the point and get to the point.
The Ordnance Supervisor was responsible for the manufacturing of weapons and armor for all the armies of the Tang Dynasty. It was so powerful that the entire army of the Tang Dynasty had to be polite and fawning over it. Otherwise? Then when it is time to replace the ordnance, you would have to wait in line.
I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse and the Moon...
Who would be willing to let go of such power?
However, Fang Jun naturally had a plan and said with a smile: "Who said we have to compete with the Ordnance Supervisor for the right to manufacture weapons?"
Liu Shi was a little confused: "How can we make weapons and armor without the right to make them? If we make them privately, it will be a capital crime!"
The jurisdiction over weapons and armor has been extremely strict in all dynasties. Even the weapons that have been eliminated from the army must be sealed and stored in the warehouse, and they can only be destroyed after proper inspection. Regardless of individuals or yamen, whoever dares to manufacture ordnance privately will only be charged with
A little less serious than rebellion and rebellion...
Liu Shi's heart was trembling now, and his entire face was pale and colorless. He thought to himself, Fang Jun, you bastard, do you want me to lead this "Forging Bureau", and then secretly forge weapons?
?
Mother!
This is not just to make me lose my head, but to make my Hedong Liu family suffer disaster along with me!
No wonder you want to pin this job on me, you obviously have no good intentions...
Fang Jun didn't seem to see Liu Shi's worried and angry look, so he calmly said: "Who told you that you must have the manufacturing rights to manufacture weapons and armor?"
The Ordnance Supervisor relies on the manufacture of weapons and armor to strangle the necks of various armies. He has always been arrogant in his superior status. Even strong generals like Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chigong have to be humble and humble in the Ordnance Supervisor, otherwise they will annoy others.
The replacement of the troops' weapons has become a top priority...
How could the Ordnance Supervisor agree to someone sharing the power in their hands?
Liu Shi still didn't understand, but he heard Fang Jun say slowly: "The right to manufacture weapons and armor belongs to the Ordnance Supervisor. I have my own tricks to hide it. As long as the Ordnance Supervisor doesn't oppose our reorganization in the political hall.
The founding bureau’s charter will suffice..."
Liu Shi suddenly realized.
You kid is actually holding back such a bad idea!
Not long ago, the imperial court adjusted the positions of chief officials in many government offices directly under the central government. Among them was the military weapons supervisor. The current military weapons supervisor Zhenghe Ruoming was related to Liu Shiduo.
Liu Xi's mother was the eldest daughter of He Ruoxiang, the former Sui Dynasty Governor of Lingzhou, and He Ruoxiang's father was He Ruoyi, the former Sui Dynasty Hailing Duke. He Ruoyi had little achievements and his name was unknown to the world, but his brother He Ruodun gave birth to a child.
An extremely talented son. In the former Sui Dynasty, he was granted the title of Duke of Song Dynasty, General Youwuhou, Shangzhu Kingdom, He Ruobi!
It's a pity that He Ruobi was killed by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, and his two sons also passed away one after another, so that one line was considered extinct...
He Ruoming is the direct grandson of He Ruoxiang and the cousin of Liu Xi.
Liu Shi's eldest sister married the Wang family of Taiyuan, and her eldest sister's daughter married Jin Wang Li Zhi, becoming the Jin princess Wang family.
Aristocratic families often have multiple generations of marriages, and the relationships are intricate and confusing...
Sure enough, Fang Jun said with a half-smile: "It is said that the new weapons supervisor is Liu Langzhong's cousin. Haha, we are all a family and should be close to each other... I have no excessive requirements.
, as just said, as long as the Ordnance Supervisor does not strongly oppose the reorganization and establishment of the Foundry Bureau of our Ministry of War, then you will be considered a great achievement, and you will be the supervisor of the Foundry Bureau in the future. If Liu Langzhong cannot convince the Ordnance Supervisor...
That officer really doesn’t know why Liu Langzhong needs to exist in the yamen of the Ministry of War.”
threaten!
The threat of Chiguoguo!
Liu Sheng gritted his teeth with hatred. You want me to compete openly with my cousin for the right to make weapons, and cause the relatives to turn against each other and create a estrangement between the family? You should humbly plead with your cousin for some power to make weapons, otherwise
You have to wear small shoes in the Ministry of War, or even get kicked out?
It’s so deceiving!
Liu Shi's nose was almost filled with smoke. How could someone be so shameless?
It’s inducement, coercion, bullying?!
Putting the "Articles of Association" in his hand on Fang Jun's desk, Liu Shi straightened his chest and raised his head, and said in a sonorous tone: "What Mr. Fang said is wrong! As an official of the Ministry of War, Liu should put the interests of the Ministry of War first, and personal relationships are of course important.
, But Liu must be selfless for the long-term development of the Ministry of War, and he must live up to the entrustment of the Chamberlain, making the Ordnance Supervisor not strongly oppose and obstruct the process of reorganization and establishment of the Foundry Bureau!"
Fang Jun: "..."
Is there any need to be so impassioned and righteous?
*****
The princess consort of Linchuan and Zhou Daowu, the governor of the two Youying prefectures, were beheaded by Fang Jun in the street on Tianjie. They were then chased to Longshouqu Post Station and beaten severely. In less than half a day, the news spread throughout Chang'an City.
Especially Fang Jun's remarks in front of His Majesty Li Er, "Your Majesty, you don't care, nor the national laws, then the humble minister will beat him", it spread to everyone's ears as if it had wings, and then spread to the market.
Suddenly, it became all the rage!
The officials in the imperial court all shook their heads and sighed. Fang Jun had been honest and serious for only a few days before he fell back into his old ways...
Originally, ever since Fang Jun took over as Jing Zhaoyin, his violent temper, which he used to hit whenever he wanted, has been much restrained. Although there were a lot of outrageous behaviors during this period, overall he has become more disciplined.
Why do officials have trouble with Fang Jun?
It's not that I'm afraid of Fang Jun's strong background, nor that I admire his political talent, but I'm helpless because of Fang Jun's unruly behavior...
This stick will ignore you when he gets angry, completely turning a blind eye to all etiquette, integrity, national laws and family rules. If you dare to offend him, he will dare to beat you, regardless of whether you are a prince of the royal family or an important official of the court!
This kind of person is the most annoying. His actions are dominated by his emotions, and he completely ignores the consequences. He allows all official means to avoid him...
Compared with the headaches of the officials, the dandies and young masters in Chang'an City were wailing!
Although the reselling of grain in the charity warehouse was led by the Wang and Wei families, there were many children from the aristocratic families who secretly participated in the matter. When they heard Fang Jun's arrogant statement that "the emperor will beat them all if he doesn't care," everyone was frightened!
Fang Er, you can just be your official. You are already a high-ranking official at the ministry level. You are qualified to serve as the governor of Xiazhou even if you are sent to other places. Do you think you are still so arrogant and domineering?
What made all the young masters despair the most was that Fang Jun beat Zhou Daowu so hard, but there was no punishment at all afterwards, not to mention demotion, no whip or board, not even a word of warning.
His Majesty the Emperor said it...
what does that mean?
This meant that the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Daowu. Although he allowed Zhou Daowu to let him go due to various concerns, he was extremely annoyed in his heart. Fang Jun hit Zhou Daowu, which in a sense was used to vent his anger on His Majesty...
This is amazing!
Why is Your Majesty dissatisfied with Zhou Daowu? Or is it because he adopted a silent attitude in the process of reselling the grain in the charity warehouse, did not support or oppose, stayed out of the matter, and turned a deaf ear.
Just staying out of the matter has already angered His Majesty, allowing Fang Jun to beat him severely and turning a blind eye. So what about those of them who were directly involved?
I'm afraid that if Fang Er kills them, His Majesty the Emperor will praise: Well done...
For a time, the children of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City were in panic all day long.
