Chapter 878 Zhong Datou
"Unfortunate?"
Zhang Kegong looked at Zhong Fu with a sympathy, "Wife, my colleagues at the Censorate know that you are wronged! But now Chen Jian, Yu Tongdao, Xue Ding, and Liu Long have all run away. Your evidence of crime has fallen on the Censorate again. If you don't take the blame for sending troops to surround Qingcheng Palace, who will do it again?"
"But I was also taken hostage!" Zhong Fu regretted, "I originally wanted to stop the four thieves, but who knew that the four thieves were so fierce that they were tied up with me... Chen Shi Zhang, the lower officials were really killed by traitors, you must observe clearly!"
"Rublic?" Zhang Kegong frowned and asked, "Who is this rascal? Could it be Chen Jian, Yu Tongdao, Xue Ding, and Liu Long and the others?"
"Of course not!" Zhong Fu said, "The treacherous man is Wu Haogu! He is the leader of the empirical school. Chen Jian, Yu Tongdao, Xue Ding, and Liu Long are all his students. He must be instructing the plan behind his back, and the officials were framed by him."
"Do you have any evidence to say that?" Zhang Kegong asked.
"Certificate?" Zhong Fu stamped his feet, "The official was detained here, where can I find the certificate? If I could let me out, I would definitely find the certificate."
Mr. Zhang still shook his head, "How could he let you go out? Wicked man, this is the Censorate Prison! Without His Majesty's order, how can you go out? Otherwise, you can write a memorial to the official family to see if the official family can spare you this time."
"Okay," Zhong Fu nodded, "Please ask Yu Shi Zhang to borrow a knife from Zhong..."
"Knife?" Zhang Kegong was stunned, "You want to..."
"Blood-punching!" Zhong Fu gritted his teeth, "I am a warrior now, so I should not avoid swords!"
"No, no." Zhang Kegong glanced at Zhong Fu. Although this guy is a little older, he looks quite strong. He is definitely not a weak scholar. He doesn't know who he will stab if he gives the knife?
Besides, it is not the time to expose Wu Haogu, a treacherous minister! Zhang Shangying has already asked someone to say hello to the Censorate. The officials have decided to use Wu Haogu to train soldiers. Before the military is well trained, whoever impeached Wu Haogu would be self-inflicted and would all be military censors.
That's why Zhang Kegong was not so stupid, so he presented Zhong Fu's blood book... He just wanted to give Zhong Fu a bowl of fresh and fragrant chicken soup.
Who told Fu Zhong to refuse to take the charge alone and go to Shaman Island to honestly go to Haizhou? His crime was not to go to Shaman Island, at least he had to go to Shaman Island and then transfer from Shaman Island to an overseas island.
"Wife," said Zhang Kegong, "The rules of our Censorate are like this: Anyone who writes blood to the letter, use chicken blood... You just need to pay for the Taiwanese soldiers to buy an old hen and kill the chicken, won't the blood be there? The chicken can also be stewed with soup, how good it is."
"Is that so good?" Zhong Fu thought it was good. He hadn't drunk chicken soup for a long time, and he didn't need to be stabbed by himself with chicken blood.
Zhang Kegong breathed a sigh of relief, just as he was about to ask the Taiwanese soldiers to take Zhong Fu back to the cell, someone came outside to report: "Report to the Censor and the Deputy Du Zhi of the Imperial City Department, he is here."
Deputy Li Zhong is Li Zhong! He doesn't come to the Censorate to visit him if he is fine. Zhang Kegong dared not be negligent, so he quickly ordered someone to send Zhong Fu back to the cell, and he strode out to greet him. When he arrived in the yard, he saw Li Zhong dressed in a big sable.
Li Zhong did not meet with Zhong Fu, but just asked loudly: "Where is Zhong Fu, the offender?"
As soon as he heard the tone and title of this, Zhang Kegong knew that Li Zhong was responsible for the emperor's order, so he quickly asked someone to arrest Zhong Fu again and took a step forward: "The subordinate inspector Zhang Kegong has already sent someone to provoke Zhong Fu."
Li Zhong bowed politely, "Then it's a labor."
After a while, Zhong Fu, who had no idea what happened, was taken to Li Zhong by two Taiwanese soldiers.
"According to the emperor's oral order, the criminal Zhong Fu immediately entered the palace to meet him."
Enter the palace to meet?
This time, Zhang Kegong and Zhong Fu were both stunned.
"Fu Zhong!" Li Zhong looked at Zhong Fu with some sympathy. Of course, he knew that Fu Zhong would be roasted on the fire next.
Only then did Zhong Fu realize and bow and bow: "I obey the order."
After getting up, Zhong Fu looked down at his clothes and said to Li Zhong: "We all know the Lord, please stay tuned. After Zhong Fu takes a shower and changes his clothes, he will go to the palace to meet him."
Although the Censorate Prison is better than the average prison, it is still a prison. Zhong Fu, who has lived in it for many days, is almost terrible. It is very disrespectful to go to see the emperor so badly. So Li Zhong could not urge him, so he had to say, "Please give me a gift, and our family will wait in the hall."
"Thank you, everyone knows." Zhong Fu was about to turn around, but suddenly stepped forward, "I know, I don't know what your Majesty summons me, what's the matter?"
Li Zhong said: "It's a good thing!"
A good thing? Zhong Fuxin said: It seems that life can be saved...
Zhong Fu quickly took a shower in the cell of the Censorate Prison and asked his family to bring him a dress. Then, under the guidance of Li Zhong, he got on the horse and went to the palace.
After entering the palace, the emperor summoned foreign ministers in Chongzheng Hall. Li Zhong was led by Li Zhong to wait in the gate outside Chongzheng Hall. As soon as the two arrived, they saw Zhang Yuan and a fat black official, the same official who was about 28 or 9 years old, of medium figure, wearing a purple robe, with a fish bag and a sword hanging on his waist, walking in with laughter and laughter.
Zhong Fu was extremely surprised to see it: "Who is the one next to Zhang Zhiping? He was so young that he put on a purple robe. Could it be a royal family?"
"It's either a royal family, he's the coastal market commander Wu Haogu!" Li Zhong smiled, "I'm only twenty-nine years old, and I'm already the chief defense envoy. In a short time, I might become the Minister of the Privy Council, and I'll be among the magistrates."
"What!?" Zhong Fu opened his mouth wide, "Wu Haogu is going to be the official of the Privy Council? But he is a military officer!"
During the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council was not without military officials, but the proportion was very low. According to later statistics, only 9% of the Privy Councilor's affairs (master and deputy) were military officers, and the rest were all civil servants.
"Your Majesty wants to train troops and use military force, so he naturally has to use military officers more." Li Zhong said lightly.
"But he is less than 30 years old..."
If Wu Haogu was in his forties this year, he would have nothing to do with becoming the Privy Council of Zhi. But Wu Haogu was only 29 years old, so he was too young, right?
Li Zhong smiled: "It's true that I'm younger, but the government can't wait for ten or eight years... Now that the Western thieves have been pacified, the Khitan is becoming weaker and weaker. In ten or eight years, the emperor should be powerful all over the world. Do you think no one can manage the training and the reform of the Privy Council now? "
"If you train troops, you must reform the Privy Council!" Zhong Fu thought to himself: Wu Haogu is looking for death! When will the Song Dynasty tolerate such a warrior? It seems that he doesn't need to write a bloody letter to expose him. It won't take long to be ruined...
...
In Chongzheng Hall, Wu Haogu was talking to Zhao Ji about his plan to advance to the Great Food Kingdom. His affairs of the Privy Council were not implemented so quickly. It was one thing for Zhao Ji to nod, and it was another thing for Xuanma to issue a major edict. The left prime minister Su Che and the censorship system would definitely cause trouble. Zhao Ji had to fight with them for a long time before he could really make Wu Haogu the Prime Minister.
However, the "expedition" of the Great Food, which kicked off the small era of navigation, was finally implemented.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom also had two boats. On the one hand, they praised our Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, they accepted the official position of the Great Food Kingdom. Moreover, the country has always placed the Great Food Kingdom above our dynasty, helping the Great Food people block the straits and preventing the ships of our dynasty from entering the West..."
Wu Haogu, who is still the commander of the coastal market, is slandering Zhao Ji and slandering the innocent Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom.
"So we have to send 8 warships and two thousand soldiers to the Three Buddhas?" Zhao Ji frowned, "Is there too little force?"
Of course, Wu Haogu would not tell Zhao Ji that he had gathered 36 warships and more than 10,000 sailors to Sanfoqi. Because there were not so many warships and sailors on the books of the Coastal Maritime Control Department. 8 warships and 2,000 sailors were already 80% of the maritime power of the Coastal Maritime Control Department.
"There are quite a lot." Wuhao Ancient Road, "I have ordered the craftsmen from the Metallurgy Academy to build 200 pairs of wart armor and distribute them to the navy. This is enough to shock the bandits of the Three Buddhas!"
"Oh?" Zhao Ji asked with interest: "Have you played Qing Tang Jia?"
"It's already made." Wu Haogu said, "Before I left Jiehe, the Metallurgy Academy had already made cold forged armor."
It is not difficult to make cold-forged armor. Wu Haogu has already captured half of the blacksmiths in Qingtang City in Jiehe and Haizhou. Moreover, the problem of pig iron containing sulfur and phosphorus is not difficult to solve. You don’t need coal to make iron, just use charcoal to make iron. There may not be enough wood near Xuzhou to burn charcoal, but Jiehe Shang City and Jingdong Shang City have channels to import charcoal, which is not a problem at all.
In addition, the iron ore of Liguojian is actually very good, with low sulfur and low phosphorus, and high iron content.
Therefore, both metallurgical academies in the north and south have produced qualified cold forged armor. However, the output is still a bit low. If you want to reach the level of mass production, you must also solve the quality control of the iron, improve the design of the water conservancy hammer, and create a wider armor leaf to reduce the difficulty of armor piercing.
However, it is still possible to build 200 pairs of wart armor in the north and south in a few months. With these 200 pairs of wart armor, Hu Yanqing can equip a team of iron armored warriors to shock the people of the Three Buddhas and control the islands.
"Can the military weapon supervisors go to the Metallurgy Academy of Yuntai Academy to study?" Zhao Ji asked.
Wu Haogu Yixiao: "I'm afraid I can't learn it."
"That's right." Zhao Ji thought for a while, "Your empirical school uses too much mathematical, morphology, and physiology... Let the students of Qingcheng Academy study in Jiehe."
"I must ask the professors of Yuntai Academy to teach them well." Zhao Ji nodded and said to Ji Yi, "Ji Qing, the three Buddhas are disrespectful, but you must also be polite first and then soldiers. Don't bully them wantonly by relying on some force in your hands, do you know?"
