Chapter 176: Shi Jia is not guilty, Xia Song is involved in the case
Su Lin frowned: "Armor is armor." β
"And what is armor?" Zhuge Qingshan Road.
Su Lin looked at Shang Shuweiyun of the Ministry of Industry: "This needs to be explained by the Ministry of Industry." β
The ministers looked at this scene and suddenly felt as if this case was going to involve many people.
"Chen Weiyun ......"
Wei Yun is very helpless, the Ministry of Industry is just an inexhaustible job, and now he has to get involved in these things.
"Wei Shangshu, the ordnance is made by the Ministry of Industry, you come to tell your ministers, what kind of armor is the armor that is strictly forbidden to be made privately in the Great Xia Decree." Zhuge Qingshan said lightly.
Su Lin paused suddenly, understood what Zhuge Qingshan meant, and nodded slowly.
He didn't want to target anyone, he just wanted to uphold the law, which was different from Xia Song's intention, so he took half a step back with peace of mind.
But Xia Song felt that something was wrong, and said: "Armor is armor, and no armor can be cast privately!" β
"Wrong." Wei Yun shook his head.
He said: "Armor of different materials has different manufacturing difficulties, different costs, and different defensive power. β
Wei Yun looked at Su Lin.
Su Lin said: "My Great Xia prohibits the private casting and private possession of iron armor, casting a first armor and beheading, and the third armor is full of punishment, and all I say is iron armor." β
"And rattan armor, cloth armor, paper armor...... It's different. β
"But any armor is a capital offense, right?" Xia Song said lightly.
Zhuge Qingshan squinted at him, I don't know why this person suddenly jumped out and aimed at Fang Jue, this Xia Song was a bastard in the past.
Just waiting for the retirement of the people, how to suddenly become active.
Su Lin said again: "Is the armor cast by the young master made of iron or what material?" β
"Different materials, different culpability."
Xiao Pingsi said lightly: "What the young master uses is a completely new material, which has never been seen before. β
"Oh?" Wei Yun was a little interested, "Young Master still understands this?" β
In any era, there is material science.
The material research of Daxia is done by the Ministry of Industry, which consumes a lot every year, but it is difficult to come up with materials that have any effect.
Xia Song also said: "It seems to be a kind of thing similar to lime, and the armor made is called [η‘armor], which can be completely equivalent to stone armor." β
Stone armor is a very ancient kind of armor.
It is mainly a stone with sufficient toughness, hollowed out to carve holes that can be worn, or stone chips are wrapped and woven into the shape of armor.
In short, this is a very backward kind of A.
Because it is too easy to wear and tear, and it is too heavy to be practical, only some more primitive local natives will use it.
"Stone Armor...... How to judge? Xiao Pingsi looked at Su Lin.
Su Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled: "Your Majesty...... Stone armor is not forbidden by law......"
"What?"
Xia Song couldn't believe it.
Zhuge Qingshan and Yan Lanfeng both breathed a sigh of relief.
"How is that possible?" Someone muttered.
Su Lin said lightly: "The stone armor is too backward, the practicability is too low, and no country counts the stone armor as armor." β
"In my Great Xia law, it is forbidden to make privately made armor, including iron armor, leather armor, armor, cotton armor, bamboo armor, and bone armor...... Of all the types of armor that have ever been built, except for the stone armor, it is not among them. β
"What?" Xia Song couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Why, so many armors have been written into the "Great Xia Criminal Law", why not write stone armor into it!
"There is such a detailed statement......
"Who can remember this......"
"It is worthy of being the book of the Criminal Department, Master Su is really familiar with the law."
"Xia Song played a trick in vain this time, hehe......"
The ministers all watched this good show, and many people mourned for Xia Song in silence.
Su Lin said: "Your Majesty, not only my Great Xia, but also the Six Kingdoms do not prohibit the private manufacture of stone armor. β
"That's nature, the Six Kingdoms follow the laws of Great Xia." Zhuge Qingshan said as a matter of course.
Everyone nodded yes, and there was still some pride in it.
Xiao Pingsi pursed his eyebrows and said, "Then according to Su Qing's meaning, the young master's move did not violate the law of the country?" β
"Exactly." Surin bowed, and then retreated.
Zhuge Qingshan also retreated.
As for Xia Song, some of them seemed lonely, standing in the middle.
"Then it seems that Xia Qing's charge of impeaching the young master cannot be established." Xiao Pingsi said calmly.
Xia Song was helpless, but said: "The minister is just telling the truth, not to impeach the young master, but also to know whether his move is wrong." β
After saying that, he returned to the ranks of the military department.
He kind of got it.
As an official in the imperial court, you must have eyesight, and the most important thing is to look at the emperor's face.
Whoever Your Majesty wants to protect, unless it is hammered to the end, it is destined to be a legal crime.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you are convicted, the emperor can pardon it.
"Huh."
Seeing that Xia Song was no longer entangled, Xiao Pingsi said: "Ladies and gentlemen, does anyone else have a script?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Then retreat."
β¦β¦
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the only sword master who remained in the capital was announced to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty."
Next to the imperial case, Xiao Pingsi was sitting precariously: "Flat." β
"Your Majesty summoned the ministers to see you, but I don't know what your will is." Xie Qi got up and said.
Xiao Pingsi pointed to Fengtian Temple: "You should know about the matter of the early dynasty today, right?" β
Hearing this, Xie Qi somewhat understood, and nodded.
"Today, Xia Song is a little abnormal, he has no old grudges with the young master, and there are no political disputes, but he suddenly made trouble, it can be seen that there must be hidden feelings."
Xiao Pingsi said: "Who is Xia Song in contact with recently?" β
The officials in Beijing are all under the surveillance of the Hanging Sword Division, even the first assistant of the cabinet.
So when Xiao Pingsi asked this, he wasn't worried that Xie Qi wouldn't be able to answer, if he really couldn't answer, it would be a dereliction of duty.
Xie Qi said: "Back to Your Majesty, Xia Shangshu has recently exchanged letters with Ganzhou. β
"Ganzhou?" Xiao Pingsi suddenly thought of something and said, "The young master went to Ganzhou to transfer grain, what happened?" β
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Xia Shangshu to the deputy general of the Ganzhou battalion and the Ganzhou Futai...... The Hanging Sword Division intercepted it and copied a copy without alarming anyone. β
Xie Qi lightly took out a letter from his sleeve.
Xiao Pingsi smiled: "You have been prepared. β
Xie Qi bowed his head.
The matter of the dynasty this morning came out, and His Majesty immediately announced him, if Xie Qi couldn't guess this, he would not be worthy of being a qualified sword master.
The secret letter was only a hand's away from Xiao Pingsi, but Wang Feng still picked it up, opened it and handed it to him.
After only two glances, Xiao Pingsi knew that something had happened in Ganzhou.
There were no detailed rules written on the letter, but Xia Song suppressed Fang Jue, saying that Fang Jue had broken some old rules.
What are the specific old rules, they are not written, only some symbols, which should only be understood by the recipient.
"Your Majesty......"
Outside the imperial study, a familiar voice came, and only he could speak directly, without waiting for the internal supervisor to report.
"Shousuke-sama?" When Wang Feng heard the voice, he looked at His Majesty.
Xiao Pingsi nodded.
"Xuan Zhuge Shoufu." Wang Feng shouted at the top of his voice.
Zhuge Qingshan pushed the door in and closed it skillfully, and Xie Qi, who was standing on the side, also consciously moved out of some places, so that Zhuge Shoufu could have a place to stand.
"Give the old man a seat." Xiao Ping Silicon Road.
"Give a seat." Wang Feng shouted, only to realize that he was the only one in the imperial study, so he personally brought a chair over.
Zhuge Qingshan arched his hand: "Your Majesty." β
Xie Qi: "......"
As soon as he sat down, Zhuge Qingshan said: "Your Majesty, the young master has a secret performance, and he entered Beijing last night, and the housekeeper of Fangjiazhuang will send it this morning when he sees that it is too late." After the old minister went down to court, he got it. β
"Oh?"
Xiao Pingsi said: "Take it and take a look." β
Zhuge Qingshan handed out a letter.
This letter is a bit long, it is a patchwork of several pieces of stationery, written in many words, and a lot of carrier pigeons are used at a glance.
"It is rare for a young master to play such a large ......"
"Let me see."
Xiao Pingsi spread it out, put it on the imperial case, and looked at it clearly.
"Bang!"
Without warning, Xiao Pingsi slammed the table, and the imperial case cracked.
Fortunately, the material was tough enough, so it didn't explode immediately.
Xie Qi was startled, but Zhuge Qingshan was not surprised and was not frightened.
"Your Majesty is angry......"
Zhuge Qingshan sighed: "When the minister first saw it, he was also very angry. β
Xie Qi was suddenly a little curious, but he didn't dare to peep into the secrets, so he could only bow his head and turn a deaf ear.
But I heard His Majesty say:
"Ganzhou? How can it be such a coincidence...... Hmph, it seems that this Xia Song is also involved in this matter! β
Zhuge Qingshan: "The minister is also suspicious, but I didn't expect Xia Shangshu, who has always been idle clouds and wild cranes, to hide it so deeply." β
"It's just that where did the young master get so much money, and he was able to pay 380,000 taels in advance......"
Xiao Pingsi didn't doubt it, and said: "The old pavilion master of the Emperor Pavilion regards the young master as his son and nephew, and it is said that he also wanted to pass on the Emperor Pavilion to him, and the money and wealth of the Emperor Pavilion can naturally be called. β
"Oh, then it's fine, the old minister is also worried that the young master will be attacked because of this." Zhuge Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that the young man and Yan Lanfeng were too close, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand towards the household.
"Xie Qi!" Xiao Pingsi suddenly shouted.
Xie Qi bowed and arched his hand: "The minister is here." β
"Go to the Mansion of the Ministry of War, search for me, and find evidence of his collusion with the group of evil obstacles in Ganzhou." Xiao Pingsi said coldly.
"Yes." Hearing this, Xie Qi understood that the secretary of the military department was about to be replaced.
As he walked out of the study, Xie Qi sighed.
It's about to land safely, Xia Shangshu, what do you say you're messing with Mingtang...... It's not a good night, right?
