The Ministry of War and the Treasury Department, when Han Tian got the news, the whole person almost collapsed.

Xu Lang was very cunning, and when Qin Xiao ordered him to lead someone to find the official seal, Xu Lang knew that it was just an excuse, just to find a reason to break himself up.

Although Qin Xiao is young, it is impossible for him not to know the consequences of losing his official seal as an official.

If the official really loses the official seal, he must try his best to cover it up, and it is impossible for others to know, but Qin Xiao claimed that his official seal was lost in public, Xu Lang knew that there must be something strange in it, but the official was crushed to death, and he couldn't follow Qin Xiao's intention to find the official seal.

But after he left, he immediately sent a treasurer to the treasury department to report to Han Day.

Today, Xue Keyong went to the warehouse, and he should have gone there himself.

It's just that he was kicked by the Black Overlord last time, and his body hasn't recovered yet, so he just thought that Xu Lang was over there, and the matter would definitely be done smoothly, but at this time, he finally understood that the young commander was obviously going to take advantage of today's opportunity to make a move.

Qin Xiao opened Xu Lang, and the biggest possibility was to use Xue Keyong to discover those inferior weapons.

Wudefang is not far from the merit workshop where the military department is located, the treasury officials rushed all the way to the treasury department to report to Han Day, in fact, the words brought are very simple, only said that Xue Keyong brought people to the Jiazi library to receive weapons, but Qin Xiao used the excuse to branch Xu Lang, I don't know what he wanted.

The treasurer didn't know what Qin Xiao wanted, but Han Tian suddenly understood.

His face changed suddenly, and he almost sat down in his chair, shocked and remorseful.

Fortunately, there is no need to go through the downtown area to go from the merit workshop to the Wude Fang, but the journey is also smooth, but before passing through the other yamen of the merit workshop, the guards were surprised to see a group of small officials running with the carriage.

In front of the north gate of Wudefang, there are four guards on the left and right, with swords at their waists and spears in their hands.

Even if the armory is under the jurisdiction of the Treasury Division, even if it is the head of the Treasury Division, he is not allowed to enter in a carriage, and when Han Tian got down from the carriage, he coincidentally saw a team of people and horses coming this way on the wide and straight stone road in the north gate of Wude Fang.

Although he was shocked in his heart, Han Tian didn't dare to delay, and immediately called people, but he didn't dare to make a big show to let the other divisions of the military department notice that they were suspicious, so he only brought a dozen people from the treasury department and quickly rushed to Wudefang by car.

The carriage was already running very fast, because the speed was too fast, and the wound on his back was quite painful, but Han Tian hated the carriage running slowly, and urged loudly: "Hurry, hurry!" ”

More than a dozen officials from the Treasury Department followed behind the carriage, panting like oxen.

Xue Keyong handed the official letter to the guards for inspection, and did not dismount, but just rode on horseback, looking condescendingly at Han Tian outside the fence with a cold expression.

"Commander Xue

！ Han Tian reluctantly put on a smile and arched his hand.

The first person rode a tall horse and was dressed in armor, and Han Tian had just met him in the military department two days ago, and it was Xue Keyong, the commander of the Yuzhou battalion.

Seeing Xue Ke using the convoy behind him, and the car was carrying boxes, Han Tian only felt that his legs were weak, and he barely cheered up and walked forward quickly.

Xue Keyong led the team to the north gate, and immediately a guard went up to stop him and wanted to check the official letter, and Han Tian also led a group of small officials to the edge of the fence.

The state battalions of each state are under the jurisdiction of Changshi, but it is the commander of the state army who directly commands the local state battalion, and the commander of the state army is responsible for the training and combat of the army.

In addition, the soldiers and horses of each state also have a supervising army, and the supervising army is sent by the North Courtyard, and under normal circumstances, without the official letter of the supervising army, the local state army cannot receive the salary and weapons at all.

Xue Keyong is the commander of the Yuzhou Army, which is the largest state in the eighteen states of the empire, and has jurisdiction over nine counties, so Han Tian has the rank of military general from the fourth grade.

Xue Keyong didn't even mean to return the salute, just nodded slightly, and said, "Why did Lord Han come in person?" ”

"Commander Xue is a hero." Han Tian said with a smile: "This time I came to collect the weapons, and the lower official is in charge of the Treasury Department, so I naturally want to come over in person to help with the selection." ”

In the eighteen states of the Tang Dynasty, each state has a history of assassination, and there are two deputies under it, Beijia and Changshi, who assist the assassin in handling civil affairs, and Changshi is responsible for local military and public security affairs.

The guard of Wudefang was led by a captain of the Wuwei battalion, and it was the captain who checked the official letter at this time.

On the official letter, it was clearly written that Xue Ke used the number of weapons to be received, and after receiving it, there must be the seal of each treasury commander, and at this moment, the captain only saw that there was no seal on the official letter, frowned, looked up at Xue Ke on horseback and said: "Why is there no seal?" ”

"The weapon has not been received yet, how can it be sealed?" Xue Ke said lightly.

Han Tian is only the sixth-rank chief, but after all, he is a Beijing official, and he is also on an errand in the military department, so the local military generals with the fifth-rank official rank are actually a head shorter in front of Han Day, but Xue Keyong is not below him, and he signaled Han Tian to call himself a subordinate official in front of Xue Keyong.

"No need." Xue Ke said in a cold tone: "The weapon has been received, and the general is about to go to the military department to thank Dou Butang." ”

As soon as Han Tian saw Xue Ke's expression, he knew that something was wrong, and from a distance, he saw that Xu Lang was also coming with the convoy and was gesturing to him, and he was even more shocked in his heart.

The captain frowned, Han Tian saw that the situation was not good, and had already ordered: "Remove the fence, this official has something to say to Commander Xue." Although the guards here also knew Han Day, but routinely, Han Day still showed his seal, the soldiers moved the fence, Han Sun stepped forward quickly, and said to Xue Ke: "Commander Xue, how about taking a step to speak?" ”

He barely pretended to be calm at this time, but cold sweat broke out on his back.

The guards of Wudefang are not from the military department, and they are fortified by the Wuwei battalion, and the Wuwei battalion is precisely controlled by the Southern Courtyard.

The lieutenant looked at those vehicles, which were carrying weapon boxes, but Xue Keyong claimed that he had not received weapons, so he naturally opened his eyes and said nonsense.

The Wuwei battalion is garrisoned in Kyoto, although the rank of this captain is far inferior to Xue Ke's, but he naturally has no fear of the local state army, and his duty is to raise his hand and point to the carriage road: "Isn't there a weapon on the car?" ”

Xue Ke shook his head and said, "No. If you want to know what it is, go unbox and check it out for yourself. ”

It took Emperor Wuzong eight years to finally make the Bohai Kingdom subservient, and during this time, the decisions of the Southern Court can be said to have played a major role.

At the beginning, the Southern Courtyard was composed of Emperor Wuzong's most trusted military generals, and it was established during the conquest of Southern Xinjiang, which was mainly composed of soldiers, until Emperor Wuzong died, and almost all the officials in the Southern Courtyard were from the military and had extremely heavy authority.

After the successor monarch ascended the throne, some changes were made to the Southern Courtyard, and a part of the civil officials were arranged in the Southern Courtyard, although there were some twists and turns, but the later kings have also retained the Southern Courtyard, and the Southern Courtyard has always been dominated by the military force.

The Southern Courtyard was established during the reign of Emperor Wuzong, and among the kings of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong's exploits were comparable to the founding Taizu, and the southern frontier was conquered in the hands of Emperor Wuzong, and the Bohai Kingdom in the northeast once became a threat to the Tang Dynasty

The worst enemy.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the attention has been in southern Xinjiang and Xiling, after the Xiling was incorporated into the territory, the empire's strategy has always been to conquer southern Xinjiang, and the people of the Northeast did not care too much, but they took the opportunity to expand, and the five divisions of the Lili were first unified, and then conquered the city in Liaodong, and even frequently invaded the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and so on until the Tang Dynasty conquered the southern Xinjiang, the Bohai State of the Lili people has become a small overlord in the northeast.

Han Tian knew very well in his heart that once these people from the Wuwei Battalion opened the box and found the inferior weapons in the alley, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

These guards will definitely report this matter to the South Courtyard quickly, and once the Southern Courtyard grasps this handle, it will naturally take the opportunity to attack the military department.

So the box should never be opened.

Since Emperor Wuzong, the Kyoto garrison has been handed over to the southern courtyard, and the successive commanders of the Kyoto garrison are all from the southern courtyard.

Since the first day of the establishment of the South Courtyard, it has become a thorn in the side of the Ministry of War, after all, the South Courtyard has taken away a lot of power from the Ministry of War, which is to take away the cake that belongs to them from the hands of the Ministry of War, and the hostility of the Ministry of War The South Courtyard is naturally clear, although everyone is quite kind on the surface, but secretly it is like fire and water.

The arsenal under the jurisdiction of the Guards Department of the Armed Guard Battalion controlled by the Southern Courtyard was originally the wrist of the imperial court.

Xue Ke saw that Han Tian was humble and abnormal in front of him, hesitated, and finally turned over and dismounted, Han Tian saw that things had taken a turn for the better, hurriedly raised his hand, and invited Xue Ke to use it to a secluded place, although he knew that it was not a good thing to be seen by a group of people whispering to Xue Ke, but at this time, he couldn't care so much, and reluctantly smiled: "Commander Xue, ...... those boxes?" ”

"Master Han, he will be a rectum, and he won't beat around the bush with you." Xue Ke said lightly: "What is in the box, you can't say you don't know, right?" You are the commander of the treasury, and the weapons you brought in are not counted in other people's hearts, but if you don't count them in your hearts, it will be a joke. ”

Han Tian said softly: "Since Commander Xue doesn't go around the bend, then the lower official will also bluntly say that you can't transport these weapons." ”

"Of course, Ben will not transport these weapons back to Yuzhou." Xue Ke sneered: "If the general distributed such weapons to his brothers, what is the difference between them using such weapons to suppress thieves and sending them to death?" Lord Han, believe it or not, they really have the courage to come directly to the capital to sue the emperor with such weapons. ”

"Xiaguan believes." Han Tian accompanied him with a smiling face: "Commander Xue, there are many things that you don't understand. Let's put it this way, this matter is very important, once it really makes trouble, the lower officials will naturally not be able to escape the crime, but the commander will inevitably be involved, to put it mildly, whether Commander Xue can leave Kyoto alive at that time is unknown. ”
