Volume 2 The Pavilion's General Star Chapter 142 The Imperial Response
At the beginning, the new weapon developed by Weiwei Temple was stolen, which was only circulated in the shadows.
After all, the weapons developed by Weiwei Temple are a secret of the national dynasty, and no one dares to inquire about it.
In the eyes of many officials, this is nonsense.
How tightly guarded is the arsenal of the Weiwei Temple, and how important are the new weapons, how can they be stolen?
However, the rumors became more and more popular, and there were still rumors with noses and eyes, and the court officials began to think that this might be true.
In the end, it was the case that broke out conclusively and made the matter heard by heaven because of the complaint of Qi Wenyan of the Arsenal Administration.
Qi Wenyan was only from the sixth rank and was not qualified to go to the early dynasty, but he went to the Yushitai.
Imperial historian Zhang Yansu is known for his uprightness, and after listening to Qi Wenyan's complaint, he naturally wants to find out.
Even if there is no complaint from Qi Wenyan, the rumors about Weiwei Temple are very loud, and Zhang Yansu also planned to verify it.
According to Qi Wenyan's report, the newly developed crossbow arrows of Weiwei Temple are missing, and Zhengqing Wu Yong and Shaoqing Tortoise Yin deliberately concealed the matter in order to evade responsibility.
Qi Wenyan reported that according to the regulations of the dynasty, he would rather receive thirty sticks, and before he passed out, he kept begging Zhang Yansu to investigate the matter thoroughly and recover the crossbow arrows.
The theft of Weiwei Temple was of great importance, and Zhang Yansu did not dare to delay, and directly reported the matter to the imperial court.
Emperor Yongning was very angry, and immediately summoned Wu Yong and Tortoise Yin into the palace to inquire about the details of this matter.
"Aiqing, I heard that the crossbow arrows were stolen, but is there such a thing?"
Emperor Yongning's expression could be regarded as gentle, and only Xue Gong, who often accompanied the monarch's side, could feel that hidden anger.
How happy the emperor was about the new weapon of Weiwei Temple before, how angry he was in his heart at this moment.
Even the arsenal of the Weiwei Temple can be stolen, so ...... Where else is there security in the dynasty?
I can't think about it!
What's even more ridiculous is that this matter was reported by an official of the Arsenal Administration, which can be seen from ...... How bad the situation is in Weiwei Temple now!
Wu Yong and Tortoise Yin immediately knelt down and said loudly: "The emperor is angry!" Ministers...... Treat unjustly! There is another inside story in this matter, please listen to the emperor and others carefully! β
Emperor Yongning narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then let's talk carefully!" β
Nothing like this would have been done by an official who would have pleaded guilty, but ...... It is a matter of Weiwei Temple, and it must not be hastily decided.
What's more, Wu Yong is an extremely prudent person, how could he make such a big mistake?
He would also like to hear what these two officials will say!
Wu Yong and Tortoise Yin both lowered their heads, did not make any more movements, and did not exchange any eyes.
They've been doing it in secret countless times, and they all know exactly how to deal with it now.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! This matter was deliberately done by the ministers and others! The purpose is to bring out black sheep like Qi Wenyan! Wu Yong said.
He had a righteous face, and the words he uttered were subconsciously convincing.
Wu Yong continued: "Back to the emperor, the ministers didn't dare to hide anything, the crossbow arrows of Weiwei Temple were indeed stolen, but this theft ...... It was deliberately stolen by the ministers! β
The more he spoke, the more confused Emperor Yongning became.
What does it mean to have someone steal it on purpose?
"Your Majesty, since the development of the crossbow arrows, the ministers have been worried that there will be no one secretly watching the new weapons of the Weiwei Temple. Therefore, the ministers deliberately used crossbow arrows to set up a bureau, just to find out the details lurking in the Weiwei Temple. β
Speaking of this, he closed his eyes, and there was an extremely sad expression on his face: "The ministers didn't expect that this fine work would be Qi Wenyan of the Arsenal Administration!" Qi Wenyan is in charge of the Arsenal Department, how can he do that? β
"The crossbow arrows were missing in the Arsenal Department, but Qi Wenyan went to the Yushitai to complain! Minister...... The minister really didn't know what kind of heart he had. β
Wu Yong and Tortoise Ling really broke the news, and it turned out to be Qi Wenyan. _o_m
Previously, when they were looking for crossbow arrows and investigating the officials of Weiwei Temple, they felt that the most unlikely person was Qi Wenyan of the Arsenal Department.
Because, the crossbow arrows are hidden in the arsenal office, because they are in the arsenal office.
If it is lost, Qi Wenyan will not be able to escape the blame, and once it is discovered, it will be a matter of asking for guilt.
Unexpectedly, Qi Wenyan himself went to the Yushitai to complain.
Obviously, Qi Wenyan doesn't plan to live.
However, even if they didn't think about it again, Wu Yong and Tortoise Yin still followed the plan they had set before, and immediately stared at Qi Wenyan.
They had long known that the knife hanging in the Weiwei Temple would fall, but they didn't know who the person holding the knife was, and the only thing they knew for sure was that no matter who the person holding the knife was, they would have to block the knife back.
Qi Wenyan has such a move, so the breakthrough in this matter is in Qi Wenyan.
Wu Yong's mind quickly went through the previous plan to make sure that there were no problems, and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister is indeed guilty, the minister has noticed that there is an abnormality in the Weiwei Temple before, but the minister has no evidence, in order to avoid greater losses, so the minister uses crossbow arrows as a test...... Sure enough, even the crossbow arrows were stolen, including the most important drawings, and they were gone. β
The more Emperor Yongning listened, the more confused he became, what Wu Yong meant was that this repeater arrow was deliberately stolen?
Monkey business! How could a repeater arrow be deliberately stolen if it was so important?
"Wu Yong, do you know what you're talking about? What a great sin is it that you deliberately let such an important new weapon as a crossbow arrow be stolen? β
"Back to the emperor, the minister knows. Please forgive the emperor, in fact, the minister already knows where the crossbow arrows and drawings are. Originally, the minister was going to take down Qi Wenyan, but he let Qi Wenyan take the lead and went to the Yushitai to complain. β
Rao is Emperor Yongning, as the emperor, is used to seeing wind and rain, and he is also confused by Wu Yong at this moment.
Are the repeater bolts lost or not?
"Where are the repeater arrows hiding?!"
"Back to the emperor, if the minister's judgment is not wrong, the stolen crossbow arrows will be hidden in the Wuge Treasury!"
Wuge Treasury, how did this matter implicate Wuge Treasury?
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed true. Chen believed that if Qi Wenyan woke up, he would definitely accuse the ministers and others of colluding with the gentlemen of Wuge, and would also find crossbow arrows and drawings in Wuge's treasury as evidence. Your Majesty, now you only need to go to the Wuge Treasury and search to find out! β
The crossbow arrows and drawings are hidden in the Wukaku Treasury, which is the princess of Changding.
Although Wu Yong and Tortoise Yin didn't know why the Wuge Treasury was involved, they believed what Princess Changding said. @Β·error-free start~~
After all, the bed crossbow is available, even if Princess Changding says that the toilet is fragrant, they will believe it with a smile!
