Chapter 66: Groundless, not necessarily without cause

Pei Min received the Secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Punishment and Works one by one in the Secretariat.

In the Second Department of Punishment and Works, Pei Min only learned about their situation roughly, said a few words of encouragement, and then asked them to go back.

Pei Min doesn't know much about criminal investigation and engineering issues, and does not make random decisions.

The key is in the Ministry of War.

Pei Min doesn’t want to move Zhang Shougui for the time being, which does not mean that he won’t move.

When the storm is about to come, it is often the calmest.

Zhang Shougui raised the enemy to respect himself, and even if he did not rebel, he still had certain selfishness.

Moreover, the situation in the Northeast is a bit special. Pei Min did not forget that the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion started in the Northeast.

The Minister of War is Pei Min's little fan Du Xian.

Du Xian's face was a little heavy, and he handed a piece of information in his hand to Pei Min.

"Pei Xiang, we have indeed neglected this place. We never thought that the military supplies in the Northeast had reached this level."

Pei Min took the information. This was what he specifically ordered Du Xian after the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall. He was preparing to arrange for the supervisor of the censor to go to Liaodong to learn about some situations. Before that, he could only understand some situations through feedback from the Ministry of War.

Looking at the information in his hand, Pei Min looked at Du Xian and said, "The Northeast Army requires a lot of weapons. The weapons and other things are about to catch up with Hexi. The total number of troops of the Longyou Army this year is also quite large. It is said that Hexi and Longyou are the son. I think the Northeast Army is making a fortune in the face of silence."

Du Xian said with a bitter face: "To be honest, this is a dereliction of duty by his subordinates. If Pei had not asked his subordinates to investigate, his subordinates would not have understood this situation. Several subordinates did not understand it before. Last year, the Northeast applied for the Ministry of War to allocate a batch of weapons. They were fighting, and the number they needed was not large. They would have allocated them. However, before that, almost all the Shangshu kept transporting weapons to the Northeast. The water flowed down slowly and accumulated this number."

Pei Min also knew that this was no wonder Du Xian. The temple has indeed had this certain problem over the years, and it is a bit unstable.

In the past decade, the position of Minister of War has been changed for six rounds, and one has to be changed every year and a half.

Some situations are not expected, but they are reasonable.

Pei Min did not deny that Longyou and the Hexi Army was the biological son, Li Longji did give Pei Min enough help in the military preparations.

It’s not about giving whatever you want, but about creating whatever you want. It’s all the latest and most sophisticated [31 Novel Network                                                                                                              

However, I did not waste these weapons and used these magical weapons to wipe out the Turks in the north, defeated the Western bandits Tuqi Shi, defeated the Tubo in the south, captured Qinghai Lake in the south, stabilized the Western Regions and repelled Arabs...

These arms are worthy of the value, but it is really unreasonable that the Northeast has requested so much armament but cannot completely surrender the Bohai Kingdom.

Pei Min said: "Transfer news directly to Zhang Shougui. He said that the equipment this year will not be directly allocated, and they will be asked to sort out the treasury for the old to exchange for new ones. If the old ones are not removed, the new ones will not be given. Have you not asked them for the lost weapons?"

Du Xian said: "I am very unclear about my ex. Some of them have asked. The reply I received was that the battlefield was damaged too much and some were lost. Some of them were used as spoils seized from the battlefield to clear the battlefield and distributed to soldiers to boost morale."

Pei Min whispered loudly: "It is understandable that the loss of this war is lost. We have all been on the battlefield. No one can scare anyone. Since it is a victory every time, most of the lost weapons can be collected. It is understandable that the spoils seized on the battlefield will be distributed to the victorious soldiers. You can also distribute your weapons as victorious products. What is the reason?"

Du Xian said, "Actually, I'll just say something. My subordinates are not satisfied with the Minister of War. Until recently, after being valued by His Majesty and promoted to Prime Minister, his subordinates were at peace. Before this, they were always a bit slandered. At first, the subordinates thought they were blocking their way. After all, they were promoted to the Minister of War, which was repulsed. Later, gradually, my subordinates had their own confidants in the Ministry of War and discovered something. Not only did they have a career, but they also blocked their financial path. I heard that the former Ministers of War often gave their subordinates bonuses, but there was no subordinate here. This damaged the interests of many people and was very unpopular."

Pei Min listened and asked, "Is the news true?"

Du Xian shook his head and said, "It's just a rumor, it's hard to confirm. At least the subordinates have not received any bribes. If there is really, it will prove something."

Pei Min laughed and said, "Unless his brain is not good, who dares to bribe Du Xiang?"

When Du Xian was in the Western Regions in the past, he was famous for rejecting the gifts of foreigners and was definitely a clean lord.

"It may not be groundless," Pei Min said: "Don't ask about this matter, I have to arrange it. But pay attention to those who say you are embarrassed by it. Pick a few suspects. If they collect wealth, they should know more or less."

"You are not an outsider, and you are not afraid to tell the truth. The situation in Yanyun, Liaodong is very fascinated. I am too concerned, so it will be better. If there is any change, it will be no small matter."

Pei Min hoped that he would be more attentive. He had always been guarding against An Lushan and Shi Siming and others, and did not have any precautions against Zhang Shougui.

In his memory, Zhang Shougui should be regarded as a famous general of the Tang Dynasty and is trustworthy.

But he didn't expect that the situation in Northeast China would drag on for ten years and was in a state of decay, which made Pei Min a little uneasy.

After seeing Du Xian off, only the Ministry of Rites Pei Min of the six ministries had no idea about the situation.

Pei Min naturally treated the Ministry of Rites with special treatment.

He did not ask the Ministry of Rites to come for a meeting at the beginning, and he went to the Ministry of Rites by himself.

The Minister of Rites is still He Zhizhang.

The disaster He Zhizhang was assassinated before was much worse than before.

Originally, He Zhizhang planned to resign from his post by directly proposing to ill, but he happened to meet Li Longji seriously ill and failed to get what he wanted for a while.

He Zhizhang was in his position and planned his own affairs. Since he had not yet resigned from his post because of illness, he was still the Minister of Rites, so he fulfilled his obligations with some stubbornness.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Pei Min directly greeted the doorman and walked into the interior. It was not until He Zhizhang's General Office that people were spread.

Listening to the internal movements, Pei Min whispered loudly: "Brother He, there is nothing shameful about it, am I in?"

He Zhizhang's voice rang in the room, "There is nothing shameful, come in!"

He Zhizhang walked towards the door with a crutch.

"I feel relieved when I see Brother He is in good spirits!"

He Zhizhang was still open-minded, raised his hand and shook the crutch in his hand, and said, "But now I can't live without it, but it's okay. As long as I'm safe, I can hold up my wine glass, write words, and write poems, I'm still a Siming Crazy Guest."
