Chapter 18: Ordnance (for the little friends who vote for the monthly ticket)

Seeing Wu Dui's anxious appearance, Xu Wei told him and Zhu Yijun about the three ladies, which made Wu Dui feel a little relieved. It's good that you don't talk nonsense, and it's good to wait and see.

That night, Xu Wei was drunk, crying and laughing until late.

Morning.

Zhu Yijun stretched his waist and walked out of Kunning Palace, the palace in late autumn was a little cold, he breathed a breath of cool air, and felt a lot more energetic. Glancing at the newly emerging sun, Zhu Yijun was a little helpless, the early dynasty was really the most depressing thing.

The same three bows and nine knocks, the same process, and then Zhang Whale shouted: "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat!" ”

"The minister has his own music!"

Just when Zhu Yijun was confused, a voice sounded in the hall, and the appearance of this person made everyone stunned. Because this person is from Xungui's side, you must know that many of them don't speak when they go to court.

This time the first one jumped out to participate, and everyone turned their heads to look at him.

The person who stood up was Jiang Kuan, Marquis of Dingxi, and he could be regarded as a veteran marquis among the hereditary nobles. Now that I recognize the commander of the 12th battalion of the Beijing camp, and when I saw him come out, everyone thought of the admiral yamen of the Beijing camp.

Many officials have turned their heads to look at Ma Fang and Liu Xian, but more of them have indeed looked at Liu Xian, and Jiang Kuan, Marquis of Dingxi, is under his control!

Liu Xian didn't seem to care at all, his expression didn't change at all, and he didn't even turn his head.

"Minister's impeachment of the military department!" Jiang Kuan didn't care whether others looked at him or not, and said directly and loudly: "The Ministry of War embezzled the ordnance manufacturing funds, and the ordnance handed over to the Beijing camp did not meet the standards, whether it was firearms or weapons and armor. ”

"This time, the 3,000 pairs of armor handed over to my battalion by the military department can all be cut with a single sword."

"All the knives that are delivered will curl the blade when they slash five pairs of iron armor, and the spear will only break ten pairs of armor, and the tip of the spear will be broken. The bow and arrow were fired a hundred times in a row, and either the bowstring was pulled or the back of the bow was broken. ”

"As for the arrows, the quality is also very poor, not to mention seventy percent of the firecrackers that can be used, and the remaining thirty percent are basically unusable. Seventy percent of what can be used, and there are occasional explosions. ”

Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair and listened quietly, glanced at Yu Dayou from time to time, and then looked at Ma Fang and Liu Xian, this time the matter was obviously done by these three old people. As for how they agitated Dingxihou, Zhu Yijun didn't know.

As for what Dingxi Hou Jiang Kuan said, Zhu Yijun was very calm in his heart, because he knew that it was still good.

This is the equipment delivered to the Beijing camp, and the one given to the border army is even worse, such as the fire gun, seventy percent of the one in the Beijing camp can be used, and forty percent of the equipment given to the border army can be used, which is considered high. The bow is broken after a hundred shots, and it is already considered a good bow.

However, this did not prevent Zhu Yijun from getting angry, because he gave them a lot of silver, and they fooled themselves with these defective products.

The civil officials didn't expect Dingxi Hou Jiang Kuan to do such a thing, everyone knew what was going on, and they also knew that this was a common thing. But just because things are common things that everyone acquiesces in privately doesn't mean it's right.

You bring this matter to the table, especially in front of the emperor, this will not work, the unspoken rules cannot see the light.

"Damn, how can this be justified!"

Zhu Yijun slapped the dragon book case and said loudly: "There is such a thing? Dingxihou, what you said is the truth, if there is a lie, I will definitely not spare you, I will give you a chance, say it again! ”

The ministers looked at Zhu Yijun's angry appearance, their hearts sank, and they even complained directly, and some of the military officials were almost unable to stand.

Although the emperor angrily questioned Jiang Kuan, the Marquis of Dingxi, how angry the emperor is now, and after a while, all his anger will be transferred to his own people. No one believed that Jiang Kuan would lie about this matter, and if he dared to lie, the end would be miserable.

"Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, those ordnance is in the minister's camp!"

Jiang Kuan, Marquis of Dingxi, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said bitterly: "The ministers have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty since their ancestors, and they have been loyal to the emperor for generations. ”

Looking at Jiang Kuan, Hou of Dingxi, Zhu Yijun was a little helpless, he wanted to tell Jiang Kuan that the play was a bit too much.

With a sigh, Zhu Yijun actually walked down from the dragon book case, went straight to Jiang Kuan, the Marquis of Dingxi, stretched out his hand to help him up, and then said with relief: "Let Aiqing be wronged, I will definitely find out about this matter and give Aiqing an explanation." ”

After appeasing Dingxi Hou Jiang Kuan, Zhu Yijun returned to the dragon chair with a dragon robe this time.

"The minister is guilty!"

At this time, Wu Dui knelt down first, as the secretary of the military department, he also pleaded guilty.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Wu Dui, and said directly: "Still figure out what's going on, what is the crime, you are the secretary of the military department, you must be responsible, but you will not know until you have checked whether you are guilty or not." ”

After letting Wu Dui get up, Zhu Yijun turned his head and said to Liu Shouyou: "Is Liu Aiqing of Jinyiwei available?" ”

Liu Shouyou hurriedly walked out and said respectfully: "The minister is here!" ”

"I'll leave this matter to you Jinyi Wei to investigate!" Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun added: "Check carefully, don't wronged a good person, but you can't let go of a bad person, find out and report to me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Shouyou agreed, and hurriedly spoke.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Okay, let's wait until the rest of the things are clarified!" After speaking, Zhu Yijun asked again: "Which other Aiqing has to participate?" ”

After dealing with a few small things, Zhu Yijun went down to the early dynasty and returned to the Qianqing Palace.

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Whale: "Keep an eye on Liu Shouyou, but don't interfere with his investigation of the case." ”

In fact, Zhu Yijun has no trust in Liu Shou, he has always been very close to the civil officials, plus his own background and preferences, he has always been more popular with the civil ministers, and this time he handed over the matter to him, there is no element of investigation in it.

If Liu Shouyou's performance is not satisfactory to him, then replacing him can be put on the agenda.

"Yes, Emperor!" Zhang Whale sighed in his heart, during this time, he and Liu Shouyou were quite close, and they had a bit of a sense of watching and helping each other, but looking at the meaning of the emperor, Liu Shouyou was afraid that something would happen, so he should stay away this time!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers came out in a stream, gathering in groups of three or five, and the same was true on the Xungui side, and many people surrounded Jiang Kuan, the Marquis of Dingxi.

Obviously, Jiang Kuan's sudden move this time surprised not only the civil officials, but also the Xungui.

"Wu Shangshu, let's talk!" Zeng Xingwu came to Wu Dui's side and said with a smile.

Wu Dui glanced at Zeng Xingwu and nodded, as Zhang Juzheng's confidant and favorite general, Zeng Xingwu was definitely capable, and Wu Dui also wanted to hear what he had to say.
