Chapter 501 Careful thinking under the rectification of armaments

Today's early dynasty seems to have changed something unusual from the past.

Officials with a keen sense of smell have vaguely understood what is happening through the absent officials.

There are some things that people don't know, but they just don't mention them.

After the Holy Lord proposed to check the arsenal yesterday, they had a premonition that something was going to happen.

This is something that no one expected that things would develop so quickly.

It was as if it had all ended tonight.

As soon as he went to the court, Zhao Duan asked Cao Shuang to briefly tell the officials what happened last night.

It was not surprising to the officials that they were secretly looking for dead men to destroy evidence and want to set fire to the arsenal, and if it were them, they would do the same.

It's just that the people who did it this time were more unlucky, and they were discovered as soon as they started, or they were put up early, and they were arrested as soon as they started.

This was followed by a night of emergency arrests and evidence collection.

As Cao Shuang asked people to submit the personal and physical evidence to the court, all the officials were silent.

No one dared to plead with those people, and all this in front of him fully showed how well the emperor was prepared.

If you still want to intercede for them at this moment, maybe you will even get into it.

Seeing that all the ministers did not object, Zhao Duan announced the replacement of these people after they were arrested, and to the surprise of hundreds of officials, those sudden faces were used to replace their existence.

Some of them were former officials of the Qingshui Yamen, and some were students who were only admitted last year, but their rankings were not high and did not attract attention.

But these people are capable enough to replace the people they replace, so that the court can maintain normal operation.

Listening to the appointments of the emperor above, the hundreds of officials below felt a chill in their hearts.

is still the emperor, the emperor who will not leave the other party with the slightest flaw once he makes a move, and will simply and neatly beat you without the power to fight back, and can only accept his arrangement.

Faced with the arrangement that seems to have been prepared for a long time, even those who have ideas in their hearts and want to use this matter to make waves have silently put down their careful thoughts in their hearts.

No solution!

It's so incomprehensible!

Who knows if the other party is ready and is waiting for himself to jump inside, or stop doing any more.

After the hundred officials had such an idea, the entire early dynasty went on unusually calmly, and this matter was quietly decided that the person who should be arrested was arrested, and the position that should be replaced was also replaced, but it did not make any waves in the court.

It's like...... It was as if nothing had happened at all, but a large number of officers in the military department had been replaced.

Everything is so harmonious!

After going down, Zhao Ming looked at his father in shock, his face full of incredulity.

Zhao Duan asked while dealing with the official business in his hand, "What?" Don't you understand? ”

Zhao Ming nodded: "Why is the emperor so quiet in the court?" ”

"Otherwise, what do you think they should be?" Zhao Duan asked rhetorically.

Zhao Ming recalled his appearance when he was in prison, and replied with a frown: "They should be able to delay, and then find an opportunity to use this matter to attack their retainers or their political enemies, or to exonerate those criminals and want to protect them." ”

Zhao Duan nodded: "That's right, these are their usual methods." ”

"Then why did they ...... this time," Zhao Ming wondered.

"Quick! Permit! Vicious! ”

Zhao Duan said indifferently.

"What's the explanation?"

Zhao Duan put down the things in his hand, took a cup of tea handed by Cao Shuang, slowly took a sip and moistened his throat and said:

"Fast, accurate, and ruthless means that you have to use the time they can't react to quickly complete everything, and make it a sure death, don't give them the slightest time and preparation to find fault, and let the other party realize that your preparation is so full that if he dares to intercede, you can drag him into the water.

It took me one night to arrest the people who should be arrested, and the evidence that should be collected was collected, without giving them half time to react, and in addition, Cao Banban should have known everything about the matter, and controlled public opinion one step in advance, preventing the other party from using the possibility of public opinion to turn the tables, and completely condemning those people.

Whether it is in the court or in the people, the right to speak is controlled by me.

And those officials who quickly fill the positions are the deterrence of the hundred officials.

Don't make a fuss, or you'll be the next one to be replaced!

Da Song has no you, and a lot of people can be on top. If you don't believe me, you can try!

For the sake of their official positions, even if it is a small possibility, they will not gamble.

And those who are sure that they will not be able to change for a while and a half know that the matter has become settled, and naturally they will not make trouble.

In this way, they can only silently bear everything that happens.

Prince, many things are not as big as possible, and the more things get worse, it is easy to give people the opportunity to find your flaws.

And the smaller the matter, the faster you act, the more helpless the other person will be. He couldn't cope for a while, and when he was ready, the dust was settled.

It's a surprise!

After he understands that things can't be done, he will naturally give up doing things, and everything can go on naturally. ”

After listening to his father's words, Zhao Ming fell into deep thought, Zhao Duan smiled, didn't pay attention to him, and continued to review the recital in front of him.

The father and son are contemplative, and the situation that one is busy is also a difficult mood at this moment.

After that, no one mentioned this matter again, and the true situation of the arsenal was revealed, but the officials involved in the world had already been disposed of, so Zhao Duan ordered the household department to allocate funds, and ordered the military war bureau to dock with the military department to re-prepare new weapons.

And those tattered weapons that were thrown into the arsenal to fill them had already been sent away by the Imperial City Division, and they were directly sent to the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

It didn't take long for him to go to sea quietly in Caiyun County, as for where these things went in the end, and what things were exchanged for, outside of Zhao Jun's side and the emperor's side, they were not known to outsiders.

After the first batch of income came back, Zhao Duan, who tasted the sweetness, could no longer hold back the desire in his heart and began to prepare.

Only the tatters of the Bianjing Arsenal actually brought back 100,000 taels of gold and silver and goods worth 100,000 taels of silver, and he only accounted for half of them!

The silver of this kingdom is too easy to earn!

It didn't take long for the prepared Zhao Duan to make a surprise attack on the country's arsenal, and many of them noticed the emperor's actions and ran away early.

And those who didn't have time to run were dealt with by the emperor by beating the grass and rabbits.

After all, since these people have touched his things, it is only natural for them to take the family property.

The hundred officials also thought that the emperor's action was to rectify the armament.

But they never expected that Zhao Duan's real purpose was for the rags in the arsenal.

Rectifying armaments is just a cover-up.

And after these arsenals were rectified, Zhao Duan revoked some of them, and used the silver exchanged for those tattered to fill new weapons, which was indeed regarded as rectifying the armaments of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhao Duan also accumulated a large amount of gold, silver and materials, and made reserves for his follow-up actions.

For a while, except for those whose interests were damaged, the rest of the government and the opposition were full of praise for the emperor's actions, which avoided hidden dangers for the Great Song Dynasty in advance.
