……

The next day, the Taiji Palace, the early dynasty......

"Enlighten the emperor, Weichen has something to play......"

Gu Qian ignored the dissuasion of Xi Man and other colleagues, and resolutely decided to show the situation of the front division of the palace to Wei Zhen.

Wei Zhen's eyes were slightly chinned, and he raised his hand and said, "It turned out to be Gu Jianjun, what is the matter?" Speed up the road to ......"

Jin Sheng, who was standing next to Wei Zhen, saw Gu Qian kneeling in the middle of the main hall, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes slightly, he had learned the reason for the incident from Gao Shiren yesterday, and he didn't have a good look at Gu Qian.

"Your Majesty, the ...... of the palace"

Gu Qian truthfully presented what he had seen and heard yesterday to Wei Zhen, and the hundreds of officials in the hall couldn't help but be shocked when they heard Gu Qian's money, obviously many of these officials were involved in this matter.

Wei Zhi on the dragon chair became more and more shocked the more he listened, and finally without waiting for Gu Qian to finish speaking, he slapped the dragon chair and was furious: "There is such a thing? Hum! Jinsheng, how do you explain it? ”

When Jin Sheng on the side heard this, he quickly knelt down, and said to Wei Zhi with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid said by Lord Gu also heard about it yesterday, and specially went to the Ordnance Department to check it, but as Lord Gu said, there are several defective products mixed in the armor, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of sets of equipment, and it is inevitable to be negligent for a while, but it is absolutely not as good as Lord Gu said, the entire armory is a defective product, and the emperor is invited to ...... it."

"Nonsense!" Gu Qian roared angrily when he heard Jinsheng say this, and said to Wei Zhen: "Your Majesty, what Wei Chen said is true, the weapons and materials used by the front division of the palace are all defective products, and nine times out of ten they are like this, the emperor ......."

Jin Sheng hurriedly said: "Gu Jianjun, you are talking too much, the slave knows that you are guarding the heavy duty of the army, and you are worried about the armament of the army, and the slave and maid also know that their royal subordinates are incompetent, so that some inferior soldiers and armor are mixed in, and the slave and maid also want to thank you for pointing out the defects, but you indiscriminately framed all the weapons of the Ordnance Department for being broken copper and iron, which is really too wronged for the slave and maid......"

After speaking, Jinsheng kowtowed to Wei Zhi and said, "Please also ask the emperor to be clear......"

"Please let the emperor know ......"

The hundreds of officials in the hall also knelt down and bowed to Wei Zhen, posing as if they had suffered great humiliation.

Wei Zhi glanced around the hall, then looked at Gu Qian and Jin Sheng, thought about it carefully, and said: "The matter of ordnance is very important, and it must not be taken lightly, don't ...... Placing the Ordnance Division, I will personally inspect the armory! ”

When Gu Qian heard this, he hurriedly bowed: "The emperor is wise!" ”

The other hundred officials were frightened and silent, and the cold sweat on the foreheads of many people dripped from the official hat to the clean floor from time to time, without him, almost all of them participated in this reselling of ordnance, once they were discovered, it was not enough for the nine clans......

Jin Sheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how can you go to that cheap land, it's better to ...... it."

Wei Zhi immediately interrupted him: "I have made up my mind, put the Ordnance Department in place, and order the officials of the Supervision and Manufacturing Department to accompany me!" ”

Seeing this, Jinsheng no longer blocked it: "Since the emperor has made up his mind, then the slave maid will lead the way for the emperor......"

As he spoke, he got up and said loudly to the hundred officials in the palace: "The emperor is driving the Ordnance Division~~" At the same time, he glared at Gu Qian intentionally or unintentionally, but his eyes were full of playful meaning......

After hearing the words and shouting "Long live", the hundred officials got up and stood on both sides, and after Jin Sheng helped Wei Zhi to step out of the Taiji Palace, they each showed a dead mother's expression, and looked at Gu Qian who was smiling resentfully, eager to crush him to ashes......

When Wei Zhi and his party of officials were escorted by the honor guard to the Ordnance Division, outside the gate of the Ordnance Division, the officials in the Department knelt on the ground and waited to pick them up, led by the directors Gao Shiren and Jiang Fanghe.

When Wei Zhi stepped into the front of the armory department and came to the warehouse, he stopped and said to Jinsheng: "Open the door of the armory......

"Slave and maid obey the order...... Jin Sheng responded, and said to Gao Shiren: "Why don't you open the door quickly?" ”

Gao Shiren crawled a few steps to the door of the warehouse and opened the door, and several officials from the Supervision Bureau immediately went in and began to inspect the quality of the armor......

"Your Majesty, please sit down and take care of the dragon's body......"

Jinsheng instructed Jiang Fanghe to bring a Taishi chair and put it behind Wei Zhi, who sat down when he heard this, waiting for the inspection results of the officials of the Supervision Bureau.

About half an hour later, the officials of the Supervision Department went out of the warehouse gate, came to Wei Zhen's side, saluted respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, the armor and weapons in the inside, Weichen has already checked clearly, and after dozens of pieces of each sample have been selected, the inspection is excellent......"

"Hoo ......"

After hearing the reply from the officials of the Supervision Bureau, the hanging heart immediately relaxed, and even Shi Zongjie, who knew nothing about military affairs, was relieved, no longer knowing the soldiers, he still understood some of the importance of armor, and he was afraid that he would lead the troops to battle soon, but the quality of this weapon was not up to par......

But Gu Qian's eyes widened, and he said with a face full of disbelief: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, I obviously ...... yesterday"

Jin Sheng immediately said angrily to Gu Qian: "Gu Jianjun, do you doubt that the adults of the Supervision Bureau will deceive the emperor?" Our family doesn't know where to offend Gu Jianjun, do you have to get along with our family like this......"

"Okay......" Wei Zhi stopped the two from continuing to argue, "Now that the truth is revealed, there are still flaws in this weapon, Jinsheng, you are indeed a little derelict in your duties......"

Jin Sheng stood beside Wei Zhi with his body bowed, and said busily: "Slave maid, please ask the emperor to punish ......"

Wei Zhi nodded and said: "In this case, Jinsheng will be fined for dereliction of duty for half a year, in order to set an example, Gu Qian found that the armor was shoddy and indiscriminate, and he should be rewarded, with a special reward of 1,000 taels of silver and 100 taels of gold......"

Jin Sheng hurriedly knelt down: "The slave and maid thank the emperor for being lenient, and in the future, I will do my best to manage the Ordnance Department and ensure that I will not make the same mistake again......"

However, Gu Qian had a gloomy face and refused to kneel down to thank him.

Xi Man behind him was anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly pushed him: "Gu Qian, don't you thank the emperor soon?" ”

Gu Qian was still motionless, his face was full of unwillingness, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he had an urge to rush into the warehouse to find out.

Just when he couldn't suppress himself and wanted to take a step, suddenly, Yao Zhong, the doctor of the Imperial Doctor, stopped in front of him one step ahead and said to Wei Zhen: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that this matter is too hasty to deal with it like this......

"Huh?"

Yao Zhong's words immediately stunned the surrounding officials and Wei Zhen.

But seeing Yao Zhong glance around, he said to Wei Zhen: "Your Majesty, since there are defective products in the armory, it means that the craftsmen of the Military Manufacturing Department must be slack, and they should be sent to the Supervision and Manufacturing Department to carefully investigate and find out the root cause in order to avoid similar things......"

Wei Zhi nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is very reasonable, so I ordered the Supervision Department to go to the Military Manufacturing Division to inspect it quickly, and by the way, let the Prime Minister's Mansion intervene, and we must find out where the omission is, the military weapon is related to the military prestige of the country, and it must not be taken lightly, and once the relevant people are confirmed to be fraudulent, they will be transferred to the Right Taiwei's Mansion for investigation......"

"My Emperor is Wise~"

When the hundred officials heard this, they all praised it, only Gu Qian remained motionless, obviously understanding that this was making the craftsmen of the Supervision Bureau the scapegoat for Jinsheng and his party.

Wei Zhi nodded with satisfaction, seeing Gu Qian's sullen look, he stepped forward and said with relief: "Gu Aiqing, the army is about to go out, you will have a lot of harmony with General Shi during this time, you are also a veteran of the battlefield, help General Shi a lot, don't let me down, you don't have to go back to the palace together......"

After finishing speaking, he said to Jinsheng: "Drive back to the palace ......"

In the shouts of Jinsheng, the accompanying civil and military forces followed the dragon to the Taiji Hall with satisfaction, and from time to time looked at Gu Qian, who was still stunned, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

Only Yao Zhong and Xi Man sighed slightly, they sent a large sum of money to Jinsheng last night and reached an agreement with him, which was to save Gu Qian's life, otherwise Gu Qian would not be so lucky today, the reason why he did this was just to save some pillars of talent for the imperial court.

After all the officials left, Gu Qian could no longer suppress the grief and indignation in his heart, and knelt in front of the armory gate with a "poof", looking up to the sky and roaring.

"Da Zhou, is this the Great Zhou court that I am loyal to, is this the Great Zhou in my mind......"

The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time exploded at this moment, and he stumbled on the bluestone paved ground, crying silently......
