Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1490 The Ministry of War wants to seize power

Liu Xun tremblingly followed Fang Jun into the duty room, and the eyes of the colleagues from the military department behind him seemed to be full of sarcasm and gloating, which made Liu Xun feel like a light on his back.

But what else can we do besides lamenting that good fortune has tricked people and fate is unfair?
The Hedong Liu family has lost the glory of its ancestors in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In addition, after the "Yongjia Rebellion", the Hedong Liu family moved southward and divided into two branches. The strong heritage is no longer there.If the current Liu family wants to occupy a place in the court, there is no other way but to cling to a family like the Taiyuan Wang family.

But who would have thought that the Taiyuan Wang family would secretly resell grain to Goguryeo, which not only implicated His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who was forbidden by His Majesty to cut off the extravagant hope of being a crown prince, but also fell into panic and panic all day long...

Now he can't think of resisting Fang Jun at all, so he can only grit his teeth and accept his fate. At the same time, he secretly decides that as long as it is not too much, if this stick wants to humiliate him, then let him go...

How can a person not bow his head under the eaves?

King Xiang is still in danger of carrying the water, and Huaiyin is also humiliated by his crotch, so he endured the bitterness. Who knows that I, Liu Shi, will not be successful in the future, and my name will last forever?

In a word, confess...

Following Fang Jun into the spacious and bright duty room, after seeing Fang Jun sitting on the desk, Liu Shi hung his head in front of the desk and held his breath.

In short, it won't be a good thing, just wait for it to happen...

Fang Jun sat down, ordered the clerk to make tea, and then waved his hand at Liu Xun: "Why are you standing there? They are all colleagues, and there is no need to distinguish between superiors and inferiors. Please sit down, Mr. Liu."

He just said these words casually, but when he heard the suspicious Liu Shi, his taste changed completely, which made Liu Shi's face turn pale...

There is no need to distinguish between superior and inferior... Are you really mocking yourself for not knowing the distinction between superior and inferior?

The most terrible thing is the word "please"!

The hierarchy above the officialdom is strict, and there is not only a difference in status and power between the superior and the subordinate, but also an insurmountable gap!Unless Fang Jun has such a deep background and acts recklessly and recklessly with the stick, who would dare to disrespect his boss?

And the boss treats his subordinates as if he is a younger generation. If your elders, grandparents and uncles say "please" to you, what kind of anger and ridicule will it be?
really!

I just said that this stick is not so magnanimous. I openly refuted his face when he took office. Although this fellow threatened to make me look good, after I persuaded him for a while, the matter was over.

As a result, this guy didn't forget at all!
Now seeing that his backer is no longer good, whether it is King Jin or the Wang family of Taiyuan, he can't wait to jump out to settle accounts with himself...

But what can he say?

Still the same sentence, how can people not bow their heads under the eaves?
……

Enduring the aggrieved anger and trembling in his heart, Liu Shi gritted his teeth, and confessed to the end: "The servant of the room is just joking, how can we set the rules without distinguishing between superiors and inferiors, how can we establish a family and country? There is no place for me to sit in front of Fang Shilang, I don’t dare to. I just don’t know what Fang Shilang has ordered, as long as I can do my best, I will definitely do my best without fear of difficulties.”

After speaking, I was unexpectedly relieved.

No matter what, you can't kill me, can you?
Nothing matters except life and death!
As long as the life is still alive, as long as the mission is not lost, then there is nothing to fear, there will always be a day when there will be a comeback!
It's just that I am also a descendant of a famous family and a child of an aristocratic family, but at this moment I am forced by the power to be humble and servile.

Fang Jun said: "Sit down and talk slowly."

Liu Shi felt that he should express a humble attitude: "It's good to stand in a humble position."

Fang Jun pulled his face down, and said displeasedly: "I said one is one, and if I have a good job for you, then I have a good job for you. Don't think that I don't know what you care about in your heart, that I am Want to suppress you? Hehe, Liu Langzhong has underestimated this official. This official always pays attention to knowing people well and convincing others with virtue! If you want to mess with you, then do it openly and aboveboard. !"

Liu Shi's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly said, "I don't dare to be in a lowly position. If the servant has any orders, just show me."

While talking, he had to go to the chair beside him and sit down.

Just like what Fang Jun said, this guy is really straightforward when he sees who is not pleasing to the eye, just like how he treated himself when he took office, pointing at his nose and telling himself to go home and recuperate, otherwise he will look good...

The same is true for Zhou Daowu and others. Those who fight openly will hit the door, and they don't even bother to sneak around and make trouble behind their backs.

how to say?

Liu Shi thinks that Fang Jun is an upright villain...

Although people can't like it, they can't avoid it like a snake or a scorpion.

Fang Jun patted the table: "That's right!"

When the clerk offered the tea, Fang Jun held up his teacup to pay respects, and Liu Xun hurriedly got up to pay his respects. The two took a sip each before Liu Xun sat down.

Fang Jun put down his teacup, took out a booklet from under the desk, put it on the desk, and said, "Take it over and have a look. If you have any comments, you might as well speak up."

Uneasy and curious at the same time, Liu Xun got up and went to get the brochure, then sat back on the chair and looked at it carefully, wondering: "The constitution of the Foundry Bureau reorganization?"

He raised his head and asked: "Excuse me for my ignorance, the Foundry Bureau... what official office is it? I have never heard of such a yamen in the Tang Dynasty..."

Fang Jun leaned back on the back of the chair, sipped his teacup slowly, and said calmly, "Look slowly, and ask after you finish reading."

"Here!" Liu Shi's heart tightened, and he thought to himself that he was a little reckless. The boss asked you a question, but you asked the question without carefully reviewing the question. This is a big taboo in the officialdom!

Gathering his mind, Liu Shi quickly read it carefully.

After looking at it, I can't help but feel that Fang Jun is whimsical...

In the fourth year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Military Weapons Supervision was set up, which was the first to set up an independent weapons manufacturing management organization at the central level. The Sui Dynasty set up the Shaofu Supervision, which was in charge of weapon manufacturing, and under the jurisdiction of the Armor Department and the Bow and Crossbow Department.

Datang inherited the Northern Zhou Dynasty's organizational system, and set up a military supervisor in the first year of Tang Gaozu Wude, leading the Jiafang Department and the Nufang Department.Therefore, the manufacture of weapons in the Tang Dynasty was all under the responsibility of the military supervisor.

But in fact, the Department of the Ministry of War also has a yamen similar to the Military Weapons Supervision, which is responsible for the maintenance of weapons and armor.It's just that the responsibility for military supervision is too great. Leading the manufacture of weapons for all the armies of the empire, the office of the Ministry of War has gradually become abandoned. Up to now, even he, an official of the Ministry of War, has forgotten that there is such an official office in the Ministry of War...

And Fang Jun's so-called foundry bureau reorganization charter is to set up a "foundry bureau" on the basis of the original weapon maintenance bureau, which is responsible for the maintenance of military weapons and armor.

Liu Xun looked through it carefully, and found all the details in it, but after looking at it, he couldn't understand some things...

The "Articles of Association" planned that the "Foundry Bureau" would occupy an area of ​​230 mu... The military supervision department is not that big!Even though this "Foundry Bureau" has strong financial resources because of the support of Fang Jun and the Ministry of War, don't forget the most crucial point - the power of the Ministry of War is only for maintenance, not manufacturing!
The imperial government has its own powers and responsibilities, which are absolutely insurmountable, otherwise confusion and difficulty will easily lead to ambiguity of powers and responsibilities, and problems cannot be investigated.

The only legal weapon and armor manufacturing yamen in the Tang Dynasty is the Military Weapons Supervision!
Is Fang Jun trying to compete with the military supervisor for food?
Holding the "Articles of Association" in his hand, Liu Shi fell into deep thought...

He didn't think that Fang Jun wanted to set up a "casting bureau" without the power to manufacture weapons and armors to compete with the Military Supervision just on a whim, which was of no benefit.

So what is the significance of the establishment of this "Foundry Bureau"?
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Shi guessed Fang Jun's intention - to fully enhance the influence of the Ministry of War!
Why is the Ministry of War the least popular among the six?
It is because there is no right!

As the only legal supreme yamen of the empire's military, he has no soldiers to transfer, no generals to send, let alone command operations and plan strategies!
What is the most important thing in the military?The first is pawns, the second is weapons, and sometimes even weapons occupy a more important position!If the Ministry of War has the power to manufacture weapons and armor, then as long as any unit needs to replace its equipment, it will inevitably request the Ministry of War.

The status of the Ministry of War will suddenly rise!
Liu Xun had to admit that Fang Jun's idea was a bit whimsical, but compared to regaining the command of the campaign from the Zhengshitang and the right to appoint and remove military officers above the general level from His Majesty, it was more important to win some of the power from the military supervisor. The right to manufacture weapons and armor is obviously easier.

Liu Xi read the entire regulations, pondered over his wording, and said cautiously: "The Fang Shilang's idea is wonderful. If you can successfully establish this foundry bureau, you will be the No. 1 of the Ministry of War..."

When these words came out, Liu Shi himself was disgusted.

Alas, the dignified Liu family's disciples have fallen so far, the current situation has misled me...
