Chapter 137: Toasting becomes punishment wine

It just so happened that Wei Fang further shook into the political affairs hall, and when he saw Wei Jiansu's gloomy face, he immediately stopped humming a little song in his mouth. Don't look at Wei Jian, who is known as the shadow prime minister, and is submissive in front of Yang Guozhong, but Wei Fangjin and others are self-aware, and without a big backer, they don't dare to hold up in front of this Zhongshu Ling anyway.

"Wei Xianggong stays!"

After Wei Fangjin gave up his hand, he said hello, and he wanted to tiptoe over, not wanting to have too much communication with this unsmiling Wei Xianggong, but it happened that the other party took the initiative to find him.

"What is the matter with Wei Xianggong, but please command!"

Compared with Wei Jianlai, Wei Fangjin is still shallow after all, and he does not have the scheming and ambition of Li Linfu, the biggest motivation for entering the court as an official is the tempting money, but he didn't expect to enter the political hall by mistake and become the prime minister. This kind of unexpected joy is really unbelievable, Wei Fangjin often wakes up laughing in his dreams.

Wei Jiansu's voice was still steady as usual, and let Wei Fang come in to look at the official document in his hand.

"Who recommended this Zheng Xianli? According to his qualifications, I am afraid that it is inconsistent with the imperial court system to be promoted to the fifth level or above!"

Wei Fangjin knew that it was not a good thing for Wei Jiansu to stop him, but he didn't expect that it was for him to arrange Zheng Xianli to be the weapons supervisor, and the bright gold was already in his pocket, and there was no reason to retreat again, so he could only laugh dryly and try to settle this matter.

"Wei Xianggong doesn't know, there is still an inside story about this matter. Zheng Xianli and his people have been fighting in the Anxi Army for many years, and they can be regarded as warriors in a hundred battles, and when they are employing people, this kind of people who are killed from the sea of corpses and blood, the imperial court does not need it, does it still need to use those people who sit around the room all day long? Moreover, Zheng Xianli is a fierce general in the army, and he is familiar with the armor and swords in the army.

After Wei Fangjin finished speaking, he peeked at Wei Jiansu, and saw that he still had a serious face, and said in his heart, this old guy said that he was a shadow prime minister, how could he be so troubled now? At the same time, he also sighed that his position is different now, and his temperament has also changed.

Unexpectedly, Wei Jiansu nodded, and his tone softened.

"Wei Xianggong has such intentions, and those soldiers who have shed their blood for the court should also be praised!"

After that, he spread the official document in his hand on the case, and picked up the prime minister's seal and stamped it heavily.

Wei Fangjin's heart that had been hanging was also lowered with the sound of a copper seal intersecting with the wooden case, and there was no danger, and Wei Jiansu was fooled by just a few words, and when he reached out to wipe his sideburns, the beard and hair on his temples were all soaked with sweat.

"Wei Xianggong is clearly decisive, clearly decisive!"

Wei Fangjin said a few more dry words of praise before he walked over to the desk that belonged to him and sat down, after which the atmosphere in the political hall began to become awkward. The two governors don't manage each other's finances, and the officials naturally don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere.

When Yang Guozhong did not quit the prime minister, he rarely went to the political hall to sit on the council, and even if he came, it was only a symbolic sitting for a while, and then he left in front and back. However, Wei Jiansu is different, not only does he go to the government office every day, but he also reads every official document very carefully. This made the officials who were used to relaxation feel uncomfortable.

But when Wei saw that Su was the head of the prime minister, who would dare to complain publicly? These people thought that the situation would improve with the arrival of Wei Xianggong, but in the end this Wei Xianggong was a sycophant who only knew how to slip around and pat horses.

Of course, Wei Fangjin didn't know what the officials were saying about him, and he didn't know why Wei Jiansu was so meticulous and unsmiling. Every moment in the political hall, he felt like he was on pins and needles, and he wanted to flee from this place immediately.

……

The brand-new ministry photo was sent, and Zheng Xianli held it in his hand, and his emotions were inexplicably excited. He thought that he had looked down on the fame and fortune of officialdom and had always been content with the Jiupin general, but once the certificate of promotion was in front of him, it was still difficult to contain the ups and downs of emotions.

Facing Qin Jin, Zheng Xianli really didn't know what to say, and he didn't even know how to repay him. Of course, some people may think that this is just Qin Jin's due return, after all, Zheng Xianli has helped Qin Jin in danger several times.

However, Zheng Xianli has an account in his heart, and the reason why he helped Qin Jin several times was because he was entrusted by Feng Changqing. If the things entrusted by Feng Changqing are sent out as favors, how is it different from the villain?

Therefore, no matter what others think, Zheng Xianli always insisted that Qin Jin did not owe him anything.

When he asked Qin Jin how he reported it, Qin Jin laughed and said, "Brother Zheng's imitation of the Divine Arm Bow is the greatest reward for Qin!"

After Zheng Xianli heard this, he suddenly showed an excited expression, "The name of the Divine Arm Bow is very good!"

Qin Jin said in his heart, where is the name he chosen, it is just plagiarizing the creativity of his previous life. It's just that this kind of special heavy crossbow from the Qiang people may really be the later divine arm bow, and it is not known!

On his first day in office, Zheng Xianli took the handle of a heavy crossbow purchased from Hu Shang at a price of ten gold to the Ordnance Prison. It is customary for a new official to meet with the chief when he or she arrives.

There is a supervisor in the ordnance superintendent, who is an out-and-out high-ranking official, compared to Zheng Xianli, who is a seventh-grade man, there is a difference between heaven and earth. However, during the Tianbao period, the armament was abolished, and the candidates for the prison were usually from the most capable clansmen among the nobles and magnates, so as to meet their needs for promotion to high officials, and at the same time not to ruin state affairs because of this.

This original intention is indeed good, but the ordnance superintendent is not a retirement center for idle officials, and all the weapons made by the ordnance superintendent must be sent to the army, and the soldiers must rely on this to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Dou Zhen, who was sentenced to the military weapons prison, is over seventy years old, and it is common for him not to be in prison for ten and a half days on a normal day. Therefore, the daily chores in the ordnance superintendent all fall on the ordnance superintendent.

It can be said that although Zheng Xianli's rank is only on the seventh grade, he is grasping the power of the fourth grade and is in charge of the affairs of the fourth grade.

In this regard, Zheng Xianli felt the pressure that followed him like a shadow, for fear that he would mess up his errand and disappoint Qin Jin. Walking around the main hall of the ordnance superintendent, several miscellaneous officials were listlessly napping obliquely or leaning, and the snow in the courtyard was also a pile in the east, and a pile in the west seemed to have not been cleaned for many days.

Zheng Xianli shook his head, if this kind of style was placed in the army of Doctor Feng, these miscellaneous Xiao Li would not know how many times they would have died. He didn't have time to teach these lazy officials a lesson, but went to the crossbow workshop under the Ordnance Supervision Department non-stop, and coincidentally, he met Qin Jin who rushed over on the road.

Qin Jin was worried about the imitation of the crossbow in his heart, in his heart, this was the most important priority at present, the quality of the recruited new soldiers was not high, the training level was low, and the combat experience was zero, and he would come to the Kwantung region, how to fight with those battle-hardened rebels?

The two of them went to the crossbow workshop in the south of the city, but saw that the gate of the crossbow workshop was closed, and Zheng Xianli and his entourage stepped forward to knock on the door.

It took a long time to knock on the door before the sound of shuffling footsteps sounded, followed by a flurry of disgruntled curses.

"Whoever doesn't open his eyes, come to the crossbow workshop and knock on the door!"

With a creak, a crack opened in the black-lacquered wooden door of the Crossbow Workshop, revealing a disheveled head.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

Qin Jin laughed angrily, and his words were concise, but looking at his appearance, it was as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"What's the order of the Crossbow Workshop?"

The unkempt head glanced at Zheng Xianli, who was obviously angry, and said in a lengthened tone: "What does it matter to you whether the order is there or not?"

Zheng Xianli was extremely angry, and signed up for his surname: "A certain is a sentence of the ordnance supervisor, and he will quickly summon the crossbow workshop to see him!"

I thought that after reporting to the official, the other party should be honest and fearful, but the other party still looked like he was ignoring it, his eyelids turned up, and he replied indifferently: "What's the matter, let us sign the order to see you?"

In the eyes of the unkempt head, it seemed that Zheng Xianli had told an unbelievable joke.

Zheng Xianli was about to have a seizure, but Qin Jin stopped his actions due to anger, and then turned to the unkempt head and asked, "I don't know what the honorable driver is?"

"How good it would be to talk like this earlier!" he glanced at Zheng Xianli with dissatisfaction and replied: "A certain is Jing San, the supervisor of the Crossbow Fang Department, it is not the first month of the year, and the department is not working, if you want to find the signing order, you can only go to his house!"

Qin Jin patiently said with his unkempt head: "Since the signing order is not there, can there be a craftsman in the crossbow workshop?"

This supervisor Jing immediately changed his face again, and replied dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say it just now? Didn't you hear clearly? Now that the New Year is not out, the Crossbow Fang Department is not working, and everyone is going home on vacation! If you want to find it, go to your home to find it!"

After speaking, the supervisor of the crossbow workshop had already made a gesture to close the black lacquered wooden door that had been opened by a crack.

Qin Jin was angry and his temples jumped suddenly, he didn't know where this guy got the courage to dare to talk to the ordnance supervisor like this?

Qin Jin suddenly realized that there must be a big man standing behind the order of the crossbow workshop, otherwise he would not be so arrogant as even a mere miscellaneous officer. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a tingle in my scalp, why do things always have twists and turns, can't it be smooth?

Qin Jin, who lost his patience, raised his foot and kicked it out fiercely, kicking on the black lacquered wooden door of the crossbow workshop.

Zheng Xianli saw that Qin Jin had moved, and he was no longer polite, and stepped forward in three steps and two steps, holding Supervisor Jing's collar like a chicken, and lifted it up.

"Toast and don't eat and drink!"
