Wang Fu finally tasted the feeling of losing his wife and losing his troops. Originally, he planned to use Li Qi's economic construction to please Song Huizong, take over the important task of economic construction, and at the same time retaliate against the Jin people's contempt for him. But it didn't happen.
I once thought that not only did he not succeed, but he was beaten upside down by Li Qi, and even the weapons supervisor lost his money.
In fact, in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Third Division was in charge of the manufacturing of weapons, and there was no special department. It was not until Wang Anshi's reform that the old system of the Tang Dynasty was restored and the Ordnance Supervision was established. However, after Wang Anshi resigned as prime minister, the all-pervasive Third Division
Once again, he invaded the weapons prison and firmly controlled it.
However, this time, Li Qi once again snatched the weapons supervisor from the hands of the Third Division, and the sword was fast, ruthless, and accurate, directly severing the constant and chaotic relationship between the weapons supervisor and the outside world.
Now it can be said that the weapons inspection has truly fallen into Li Qi's hands.
At the beginning, Wang Fu and Mrs. Bai all thought that Li Qi was going to take action and attack those who benefited from military weapons supervision. This was a common practice for new officials when they took office. However, they did not expect that Li Qi would use this move to cut down the salary and not care at all.
These are clearly aimed at arms supervision.
Li Qi knew very well that corrupt officials were reborn in the spring breeze and could not be eradicated, and they could never be caught. They might even cause fleas all over the body, but they were treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, so he simply ignored you and put the generals in prison first.
After seizing the power, we can cure the root cause without causing an uproar. Those people want to object now, but they dare not stand up. God knows whether Li Qi will follow the clues and expose them all. Isn't this a shot in the arm?
.
After the morning court ended, Wang Fu was the first to leave. He walked very quickly. It was obvious that he was extremely angry and had no face to stay here.
Moreover, Gao Qiu and Bai Shizhong glanced at Li Qi, shook their heads with wry smiles, and walked out side by side.
As soon as Li Qi left the hall, Qin Hui suddenly caught up with him and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty's remarks just now were really wonderful, and I also benefited a lot from it."
Li Qi chuckled: "No, no, Wang Xiang and I are both thinking about the Song Dynasty. We just have different opinions. Don't overthink it."
Qin Hui suddenly said seriously: "Your Excellency thinks so, but it does not mean that the Prime Minister also thinks so."
Li Qi snorted and said, "You mean Wang Xianghui will take revenge on me for this?"
Qin Hui didn't hide it either. He nodded and said: "The official heard that Wang Xiang is so narrow-minded, he will never give up."
Li Qi raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Qin Hui's heart became fierce and he said: "Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to strike first."
That's right. In terms of means, Qin Hui is far better than Cai Jing and Wang Fu. Letting him deal with Wang Fu is a good choice. I will reap the benefits. Li Qi said with a half-smile but not a smile: "You can figure it out.
The person standing opposite this time is Wang Fu."
Qin Hui cupped his fists and said, "Since I have decided to follow you to the death, I will not change my mind."
"Very good, very good." Li Qi chuckled and said, "By the way. Do you want to join the weapons inspection department?"
A flash of joy flashed in Qin Hui's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "It is a blessing for a low-ranking official to be able to ride a horse for an adult."
Ri. This guy is much better at flattering than me. Li Qi smiled and said, "Well, you can follow me to the weapons inspection hall this afternoon."
"As commanded."
After coming out of the palace, Li Qi and Qin Hui went to Zuixianju for lunch, and then went directly to the Ordnance Supervision. This was the first time Li Qi came here since he took office.
"The villain meets the supervisor."
When the two gatekeepers at the door saw Li Qi coming, they quickly saluted.
Li Qi asked: "Is Coach Niu here?"
The man on the left said: "To tell you the truth, Master Niu was here a quarter of an hour ago."
Li Qi hummed and walked in with Qin Hui.
Before entering the hall, I heard bursts of noise and whispers coming from inside. When I came to the door, I saw that it was full of people, at least forty or fifty people.
Everyone was standing.
In fact, Li Qi had already ordered yesterday to call all officials affiliated with the Ordnance Supervision in the capital to come to the Ordnance Supervision this noon.
"The lower official has met the supervisor."
When those people saw Li Qi coming in, they quickly silenced their voices and bowed in unison.
Li Qi glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Niu Gao. Niu Gao quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Commander Bu, everyone is here."
Li Qi vomited a little and said nothing. He walked forward and sat on the front seat. Qin Hui was also obedient. He did not sit next to Li Qi, but chose to stand next to Li Qi. He looked more loyal than Niu Gao.
.
Everyone still didn't know what happened in the court. Seeing Li Qi's expressionless face, everyone was worried and uneasy, neither standing nor sitting.
Li Qi took a sip of tea and saw that everyone was still standing. He stretched out his hand and said, "What are you all standing for? Sit down."
Everyone then sat down as instructed, but they felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Li Qi coughed lightly and said calmly: "I had more important things to deal with a few days ago, so I was unable to come. I hope you don't mind."
Everyone said in unison: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Li Qi smiled and suddenly turned to Niu Gao and nodded. Niu Gao suddenly took out a piece of paper from his arms and said loudly: "I read the name, please stand up."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Zhang Wen."
Niu Gao didn't care, he took the paper and started shouting.
After a while, no one answered.
Niu Gao said in a deep voice: "Is Zhang Wen here?"
One person suddenly stood up and murmured: "I'm here, I'm here." His eyes were slightly evasive.
"Liu Youmin."
"exist."
In just a moment, more than 20 people stood up. During the whole process, Li Qi kept his head down and drank tea without even raising his eyelids. It was not until Niu Gao finished reading that he raised his head and scanned the stations.
He glanced at the person who stood up and said calmly: "Those whose names I just read out, from today on, you are no longer members of the Arms Supervisor."
This understatement scared those who were standing to their knees, and they were all dumbstruck.
Li Qi frowned, stretched his hand toward the door, and said, "You can leave now."
Then Liu Youmin suddenly shouted: "Supervisor, I have made no mistake, so why are you driving me away? Supervisor, please give us an explanation."
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "Explanation? My words are explanations. If I tell you to leave, you have to leave. Who told you that you look so wretched? I won't like it, okay?"
"We are both imperial officials, you have no right to do this." Another person shouted.
Li Qi laughed and said, "You will know if I have the power if you go out and turn around. Now please leave quickly, we still have business to discuss."
"If the supervisor doesn't give me an explanation, I won't accept it."
"I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced."
Sweating profusely! I thought it was just a joke to drink a toast as a penalty, but I didn’t expect that such a person really existed. Li Qi shook his head and said loudly: "Here comes someone."
Boom, boom, boom.
After a while, a group of soldiers, about thirty people, came running in.
Li Qi said calmly: "Throw all these people out."
"As commanded."
"How dare you, oh, oh, oh, let go, let go."
These soldiers are all forbidden troops of the Dragon Guard Army. They are all over 1.8 meters tall and extremely tall. The small officials are like little chickens in their hands, unable to move.
"You abused your power and harmed Zhongliang. I will definitely go to the emperor to sue you. Just wait for me."
Zhongliang? Damn it. Li Qi couldn't help but smile and said: "Give me ten ear scrapes for Zhongliang."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a constant popping sound.
This time, no one made a sound.
After throwing those people out, Li Qi stood up. He walked to the middle of the hall, looked at the trembling officials, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, everyone."
Can we not be afraid?
Li Qi's words shocked several people, thinking that this man was young but too terrifying. In less than a stick of incense, he drove more than 20 officials out of the Ordnance Supervision.
That's really not how it was done.
Seeing that they were shaking even more violently, Li Qi couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Those people who were driven out just now are all black sheep in our weapons prison. Of course, I can't guarantee that those who stay will be rich.
Innocent. However, I will let bygones be bygones and forget about the past. From today on, you have to be careful not to follow in their footsteps."
After a pause, he continued: "Perhaps you are all thinking that you are all officials of the imperial court, so why should I kick them out with just one word? That's because starting from today, the Ordnance Supervision will become an independent yamen.
, is under the direct control of the emperor, and no one else has the right to interfere. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that for a long time to come, I will temporarily pay you salaries. I will issue an announcement about the specific details later. You
Go and find out for yourself, now you know why I have the power to drive them out."
Everyone looked at Li Qi dumbfounded. They now understood that the sky above the weapons supervisor had changed, and they couldn't help but tremble.
Li Qi didn't care about their mood and said again: "Bring it on."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came in holding a sack. He tipped the sack down and heard a few clatters before some armor fell out of the sack.
Li Qi pointed to the weapons at his feet and said: "These garbage are all made under the supervision of our weapons supervisor. I regret to tell you that none of them are qualified. The task of our weapons supervisor is to supervise the weapons.
Production. If substandard weapons are found in the workshop, it is the craftsman's dereliction of duty. But once substandard weapons flow into the military camp, it is your dereliction of duty. Obviously, you have all dereliction of duty in the past year.
I won’t go into details about the reasons, and I won’t pursue them, but starting from today, I don’t want to see this kind of situation happen again in the weapons supervision department. Otherwise, you will pay the corresponding price. Our weapons supervision department
We must ensure that every weapon is qualified. This is the most basic. If this cannot be done, I really can’t think of the need for arms supervision. In addition, the process is for execution, and the result is
I came here to see you, but I don’t have the time to watch you all the time as you perform official duties, but if the result is not satisfactory to me, then don’t blame me for being unkind. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Everyone said in unison. (To be continued...)
