Chapter 66 Groundless wind may not be without a cause

Pei Min met with the three Shangshu departments of soldiers, criminals, and workers one by one in Shangshu Province.

In the second department of criminal and industrial work, Pei Min only had a general understanding of their situation, said a few words of encouragement, and let them go back.

Pei Min doesn't know much about criminal investigation and engineering issues, and he doesn't point fingers indiscriminately.

The key is in the military department.

Pei Min doesn't want to move Zhang Shouqi for the time being, which doesn't mean that he won't move.

When the storm is coming, it is often the calmest.

Zhang Shouqi raises self-respect, even if he has no antipathy, he also has a certain amount of selfishness.

And the situation in the Northeast is a bit special, Pei Min has not forgotten that the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion started in the Northeast.

The book of the military department is Pei Min's little fan brother Du Xian.

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

"Pei Xiang, it is indeed our negligence here, we never imagined that the military supply in the Northeast has reached this level."

Pei Min took the information, which he specially instructed Du Xian after the meeting in the political hall, and he was going to arrange for the superintendent to go to Liaodong to learn some information. Before that, he could only learn some information through the feedback from the military department.

Looking at the information in his hand, Pei Min glanced at Du Xian twice, and said: "There are a lot of ordnance in the northeast, and the ordnance is about to catch up with the sum of the two armies of Hexi and Longyou this year." There are also a lot of horses and heavy armor. It is said that Hexi and Longyou are their own sons, and I think the Northeast Army is making a fortune in a muffled voice. ”

Du Xian said with a bitter face: "This, to be honest, is a dereliction of duty by subordinates. If Pei Xiang hadn't asked his subordinates to check, his subordinates really didn't know about the situation. The previous subordinates did not understand that last year, the northeastern side applied for the transfer of a batch of ordnance from the Ministry of War, but they were fighting on that side, and the amount they wanted was not much, so they should have allocated it. But I didn't want to be a certain time ago, almost all Shangshu kept transporting weapons to the Northeast, and the trickle of water flowed down for a long time, and it actually accumulated this number. ”

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

In the past 10 years, the post of secretary of the military department has been changed six times, with an average of one every year and a half.

Some situations are not to be expected, but they are also reasonable.

Pei Min did not deny that Longyou and Hexi Jun were their own sons, and Li Longji did give Pei Min enough help in armaments.

It's not about what you want, it's about what you want, it's all the latest and most sophisticated armor.

However, he did not waste these weapons, and used these magic weapons to sweep away the northern Turks, defeat the western bandits and Turks, break through the Tibetan in the south to capture Qinghai Lake, stabilize the Western Regions and repel the Arab ......

These armaments are worth it, but it is really unreasonable for the Northeast to ask for so many weapons but not be able to completely subdue the Bohai State.

Pei Min said: "Send the news directly to Zhang Shouqi." Let's just say that this year's equipment will not be directly allocated, let them sort out the treasury and trade in the old for the new. Don't give back the old, don't give the new. You didn't ask them for weapons to wear? ”

Du Xian said: "Several predecessors are not clear, but they have asked. The reply I received was that the battlefield was too much attrition and that some of it was lost. Some of them were used as trophies to clean up the battlefield and distribute them to the soldiers to boost morale. ”

Pei Min said in a loud voice: "The loss and loss of this war are understandable, we have all been on the battlefield, and no one can bluff anyone on the battlefield." Since it was a big victory, most of the damaged weapons could be recovered. The spoils captured on the battlefield, the distribution of victorious soldiers, can be understood. What is the reason why you can distribute your own weapons as victory items? ”

Du Xian said: "Actually, there are some things that my subordinates can say directly." The subordinate military department is still the book, and it is not satisfactory. It wasn't until recently, after His Majesty was respected and promoted to prime minister, that his subordinates settled down. Before that, there had always been some yang and yin violations. At first, his subordinates thought that they were blocking their way, after all, his subordinates had no roots and no foundation in Chang'an, and they were suddenly promoted to the secretary of the military department, which aroused people's rejection. Later, gradually, his subordinates had their own henchmen in the military department, and they discovered something. It's not just their careers, but they also block their financial paths. I heard that the previous military department secretaries often gave dividends to their subordinates, but their subordinates didn't have them here. It has damaged the interests of many people and is very unpopular. ”

Pei Min listened to it and groaned slightly, and asked, "Is the news true?" ”

Du Xian shook his head and said: "It's just a rumor, it's hard to be sure, at least the subordinates haven't received any bribes here, if there is, it proves something." ”

Pei Min laughed out loud and said, "Unless you have a bad brain, who dares to bribe Du Xiang?" ”

When Du Xian was in the Western Regions in the past, he was famous for refusing gifts from the Tibetan people, and he was definitely an honest lord.

"Groundless wind may not be without cause." Pei Min said: "Don't ask about this matter, I only have to make arrangements." But those who you said were difficult for you, you should pay attention. Pick a few suspicious ones out, and if they collect wealth, they should know something more or less. ”

"You're not an outsider, and you're not afraid to tell you the truth. The situation on the side of Liaodong Yanyun is very confusing, but I am too careful, so it is no better. In case of an abnormality, it is by no means a trivial matter. ”

Pei Min hopes that he will be more careful, he has been guarding against An Lushan and Shi Siming, and he has not defended Zhang Shouqi.

In his memory, Zhang Shouqi should be regarded as a generation of famous generals of the Tang Dynasty and worthy of trust.

But he didn't want the situation in the Northeast to drag on for ten years, and there was a tendency to erode, which made Pei Min a little uneasy.

sent Du Xian away, and among the six departments, only Pei Min of the Ministry of Rites did not understand the situation.

For the Ministry of Rites, Pei Min is naturally treated specially.

He didn't let the Ministry of Rites come over for a meeting at the beginning, and he went to the Ministry of Rites himself.

The book of the Ministry of Rites is still He Zhizhang.

The disaster of He Zhizhang's previous assassination is not as good as before.

Originally, He Zhizhang planned to resign directly from illness, but it happened that Li Longji was seriously ill and failed to get his wish for a while.

He Zhizhang is in his position, seeking his own government, since he has not succeeded in resigning from his official position, he is still the identity of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is a little stubborn in fulfilling his obligations.

When he came to the Ministry of Rites, Pei Min directly greeted the porter and walked inside, until He Zhizhang's office was passed on.

Listening to the internal movements, Pei Min said in a loud voice: "Brother He, there's nothing unsightly, right, I'm in?" ”

He Zhizhang's voice sounded in the room, "What's the shame, come in!" ”

He Zhizhang walked to the door with a crutch.

"Seeing that Brother He is in good spirits, I am relieved!"

He Zhizhang was still open-minded, raised his hand and shook the crutch in his hand, and said: "It's just that I can't do without it now, but it doesn't matter, as long as my hands are safe, I can afford to hold a wine glass, I can write words, and I can write poems, and I am still a Siming fanatic." ”

"Great!" Pei Min admired and helped He Zhizhang to sit down.
