Chapter Eighty-Six: The Battle in the Court

"Your Majesty! Master Li is right, now our dynasty is indeed empty of national strength, and there is not much money to support the large-scale weapons manufacturing! Dong Huai, the Pingzhang of the Zhongshu Sect, also spoke out against it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Dong Huai has just been squeezed out of the right phase by Ding Daquan, but Dong Huai is indeed an extremely upright person, who has served as Baozhang Pavilion to be systematized, the Ministry of Industry and the transfer envoy, the Ministry of War and the waiter, to the matter, Baozhang Pavilion straight bachelor, Fuzhou Zhizhou, Fujian pacification envoy, Duanming Palace, signed the Privy Council, Tongzhi Privy Council, acting to participate in the governor's affairs, and participated in the governor's affairs, but unfortunately, he was only a year before he was pulled down by Ding Daquan.

Seeing Dong Huai's opposition, Ding Daquan immediately stood up.

"Lord Dong, just for your own selfishness, do you want to put the emperor in the world's injustice?" Ding Daquan's duck-like voice sounded.

Dong Huai was annoyed in his heart, this Ding Daquan was completely a sycophant, so he relied on settling with Concubine Yan and getting the emperor's favor, so as to squeeze himself out of the phase, and he himself became the right phase.

Emperor Lizong's brows also furrowed, although this Dong Huai has a good official reputation, he always opposes him doing this and that. I remember that half a year ago, he wanted to buy grain from the people, but he didn't know that Dong Huai, who was the right minister and privy envoy, really stood up against it.

Emperor Lizong still remembered that Dong Huai said at that time that the people of Wu are very poor now, and if this is done, the people will be even more uneasy, and the people are the foundation of the country. Naturally, that was the only thing to do.

Later, he wanted to build the Taiyi Temple, but at this time Dong Huai jumped out again, and said that the construction of a large number of buildings would make the people tired, which was not a practice of respecting God and fearing God. The matter had to be abandoned again.

Emperor Lizong remembered that later, he asked Dong Huai how to deal with the pressure of the Mongol army, how do you know that Dong Huai said something false, what to consider his own strength first, only if he is strong, the enemy will retreat without a fight! Is there such a thing? A soldier who surrenders without a fight? How could Da Song do it? The Mongolian wolf ambition and the barbarian race, where could they give up such a piece of fat as the Great Song Dynasty?

However, this Dong Huai is dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty, no matter which position he is in, he is not favoritism, he is too straightforward, that is, there is a kind of pedantry of a scholar, and there are naturally many people who are offended.

Therefore, Emperor Lizong listened to Ding Daquan's words and dismissed Dong Huai, who knew that this Dong Huai did not know how to lift, and even jumped out to oppose the establishment of an artillery production institute.

As soon as Dong Huai saw Ding Daquan standing up and accusing him, he knew that Ding Daquan wanted to suppress himself again. This Ding Daquan is the person he least wants to see, when Ding Daquan was under him, he also sent someone to slap himself, and after being sternly rejected by himself, this Ding Daquan ran to the emperor to say bad things about himself, and even later Ding Daquan also sent troops to surround his mansion and arrested himself to Dali Temple, which can be described as his great enemy.

As soon as he thought of this, Dong Huai reprimanded desperately: "Okay, you Ding Daquan, I, Dong Huai, am dedicated to the sake of the court and the emperor, the people of the Great Song Dynasty are already living hard, and the people of Sichuan are even more ravaged by Mongolia. You say, where have I put the emperor in injustice, you have to make it clear! ”

The ministers also knew the gap between Ding Daquan and Dong Huai, at that time Ding Daquan was trusted by the emperor and said a lot of bad things about Dong Huai, and then arrested Dong Huai, and the emperor also issued an edict, dismissing Dong Huai's phase, the entire court was very shocked, and therefore many ministers were afraid of Ding Daquan and threw themselves into his door.

However, some upright ministers understood that the emperor abandoned the loyal Dong Huai, and actually connived at Ding Daquan to use the means of encirclement and abduction to deal with the prime minister of the DPRK and China, which was really too much! Someone wrote a poem to criticize this matter, saying: "The empty envoy Shu people think of Dong Yong, and hate the Han sword to behead Ding Gong." The six students argued for Dong Huai's book, reprimanded Ding Daquan, and were called the six gentlemen, but they did not let Dong Huai return to the phase.

Ding Daquan smiled and said, "Dong Huai, you still say that you are not a person with ill intentions?" Now that the Mongol army is approaching Sichuan and may attack at any time, if there is no strong military force, especially advanced weapons such as artillery, how can it resist the Mongol army? At that time, not only will the people of Sichuan be slaughtered by the Mongols, but the entire Great Song Dynasty will be in danger! Also, you actually said that the people of my Great Song Dynasty live in fire and water, do you know that you have committed the crime of defrauding the king? ”

"You...... You ......" Dong Huai was so angry that he couldn't speak, such a handle also made Ding Daquan grasp it, if the emperor listened to it, then he really had nothing to say. Isn't it, the emperor and his ministers came to him and said that the people of the Great Song Dynasty were not living well, which was tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face!

Emperor Lizong's face is not very good-looking, this Dong Huai is really too ignorant, and he opposes the establishment of an artillery production institute, and he even metaphorically means that he is a faint king!

Thinking of this, Emperor Lizong's face was like a layer of frost, and he said loudly to his ministers: "Okay, as important ministers of the imperial court, what kind of system do you accuse each other of in this hall!" I hope that in the near future, the Great Song Army can be equipped with artillery, rocket artillery, and thousands of shells can be fired at the enemy camp, sweep away all the enemies, and defend our Great Song Dynasty......"

After speaking, Emperor Lizong looked at the ministers again and said loudly: "This artillery production institute is very special, and its status is extremely important. ”

Dong Huai knew that his status in this court was lost, and the emperor didn't like him even more, so he could only retreat into the queue and stop talking.

Ding Daquan saw that Dong Huai was unhappy, and he was very proud in his heart, originally he didn't care much about this artillery production institute, but now he is a little concerned, it seems that the emperor attaches great importance to this institution, and he has to find a way to make the candidate for the head of the academy his own people.

Why didn't Lu Wenxin think so? Although the Lu family has mastered a strong army, its status in the court is really not high enough, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, and no matter how powerful the generals are, they can't compare to Wenchen.

This artillery production institute was proposed by himself, and the emperor also agreed very much, if it fell into the hands of others, wouldn't it be too much of a loss?

However, how can we make the people of the Lu family the head of the artillery production institute? That's not easy.

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, Ding Daquan stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended himself, my son Shouhui has been in the ministry for several years, has a down-to-earth temperament, and wants to do greater things for the court, and the minister thinks he is the most suitable!" ”

Seeing that Ding Daquan actually recommended his son to be the head of the courtyard, not only the ministers were dumbfounded, but even Emperor Lizong was surprised!

You must know that the ordnance supervisor is a very important institution, so the imperial court has always paid great attention to the selection of the chief supervisor, requiring that they must be diligent in their duties and know how to make weapons, that is, the so-called "diligent officials, who know how to make armor and are blunt and clumsy", and through these people, "the craftsmen under the supervision of the careful manufacturing". Generally, from the front of the palace, the military division, the generals of the army or the envoys will choose those who know how to make military weapons, and have the heart and ability to govern people.
