The bitter and quiet Qingshui Yamen

In the early dynasty, all the ministries were busy, and they were actively preparing for the enthronement ceremony three days later, and our pig's feet were not leisurely, and they took Chen Kang Shijin and dozens of other guards to Anmenmen Square.

When he arrived at the door, a noise came into his ears, and when he looked at it, the originally wide square was a little crowded at this time, Li Pojun rode on the jade top horse and could see from a distance that there was a huge ring in the middle of the crowd, and hundreds of soldiers were busy working on it, it should be Su Dingfang and others.

Li Pojun finally squeezed in under the opening of a group of guards, and greeted Su Dingfang and others, Li Pojun asked directly: "How many people have been recruited now?"

Su Dingfang wiped the sweat from his forehead, after all, it was really hot in August this day, "Your Highness, due to the improvement of the recruitment standard, only more than 300 people were recruited this morning, plus 1,500 people in the Dragon Guardian Villa, at this rate, the recruitment task should be completed the night after tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow, it was not too late, so he nodded and patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder. Seeing that the hundreds of soldiers who maintained order were all sweating profusely, he immediately said: "It is not easy for the three hundred brothers, and each of them will make up the same amount of money afterwards."

Su Dingfang was stunned when he heard this, and then he had to smile bitterly and respond, His Royal Highness is really generous. It's not distressing to spend money at all.

Li Pojun looked left and right, but he didn't see the place where the soup was groomed, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "What about Chongyi, why didn't you see the place where the soup soup was given?" Looking around, I haven't seen Li Zhen Duhe's people, and they immediately frowned, are they really lazy and didn't come? It shouldn't be.

He asked again: "What about Li Zhen Duhe and the others, I ordered them to come here yesterday to listen to your orders, didn't they come?"

Su Dingfang listened to Li Pojun's two questions, and he also hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, Li Chongyi is giving porridge outside the city." Outside the Qixia Gate, it is not allowed to set up a tent to give porridge outside the city, because it is easy to be confused when there are many people, and many homeless people are blocked outside the city, so they have to give porridge outside the city. Li Zhen and the others let them go to assist Li Chongyi, and the three hundred elites recruited here are enough, but Li Chongyi is short of manpower, so the last general will let them all go to Qixia Gate to set up a tent to give porridge."

Li Pojun understood after hearing this, and left after a few words, he still had other things, the day after tomorrow, these 3,000 people were recruited, and at this time they didn't have a pair of armor and weapons.

With the escort to the Imperial City Ordnance Prison, it was inevitable to pass by Taimiao Shaofu Supervisor Shangshu Province and other places, and it was a rush of ceremonies, Li Pojun deliberately went around the Imperial City from Yongxingfang Jingfeng Gate to enter, Jingfeng Gate was the Ordnance Supervisor as soon as he entered.

This is the first time that Li Pojun has come to this ordnance superintendent, not only because this yamen is in a corner of the imperial city, but because the ordnance superintendent was established in the fourth year since the establishment of Wude, it is also called the ordnance superintendent and the weapons superintendent, and the name has been changed frequently, and it has been abolished repeatedly.

According to Li Pojun's idea, this ordnance supervisor has mastered the functions of building weapons and wholesale weapons, and it should be a very lively, and it can be regarded as a powerful yamen, where do you know that once you can enter here, it is a bleak place, different from the literati in and out of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province, and it is also different from the sound of books on the side of Guozijian, but it is very quiet here, and the courtyard wall is even mottled and a little peeling.

Chen Kang looked left and right, touched his head and said, "Your Highness." Where is this? How is it so deserted, like an abandoned old temple. ”

Li Pojun also smiled bitterly when he heard this, who knows, it is also a prison yamen, but it is so ruined, seeing that the weapons supervisor is not a lively yamen, this is the Qingshui Yamen, don't those armies need weapons.

Putting aside these thoughts, he went straight to the main entrance, where two guards leaned against the threshold with spears in their arms to make up for sleep.

Li Pojun frowned, and motioned to Chen Kang, Chen Kang was also polite, he didn't shout loudly, he didn't go up and kick, he went straight up and shook, "Brother, brother, wake up."

The buddy rubbed his son in a daze, and scolded impatiently: "That coward, I didn't see the soldier sleeping."

Li Pojun's face darkened when he heard this, and he didn't speak, but Shi Jin, who was a handful of people on the side, couldn't bear it anymore, and went straight up and lifted the collar of the soldier and slipped up, and at this moment, the guy woke up, kicking and kicking in the air, "Who?" Who? You guys, what do you want to do, this is the imperial city, do you want to rebel? The other guard also woke up, and watched with a spear in his hand.

"Bold, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and he won't take over yet." Chen Kang's face turned dark, and he shouted, "Ma Dan, just this coward, Lao Tzu just called him brother, disgusting."

When the two ruffians heard it,

Busy begging for mercy, I met Li Pojun, Li Pojun was about to speak, and there was a scolding from the door, "What are you doing, what kind of noisy and noisy thing is it?" ”

Li Pojun looked at it, and a middle-aged man with a washed white four-grade official robe came out.

This time, Chen Kang was not so polite, and said bluntly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and someone has come to greet him."

As soon as the man looked at Li Pojun, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Sun Ji, the young eunuch of the military weapons supervisor, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

When Li Pojun saw that this person was well-mannered, he dismounted and helped him up, and said bluntly: "Young Eunuch Sun, please get up, but I am back with official business."

When Sun Ji heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, go in and order." As he spoke, he turned sideways to welcome Li Pojun inside.

Entering the main hall, it was just a rather large room, in which there were several desks, each with a desk, and there were three or five people in it who were either working with a pen, or sleeping on their stomachs, or talking in pairs.

When Sun Ji entered, he shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, hurry up and welcome him."

Everyone listened to the panic and sat down to greet them, Li Pojun didn't have time to talk to this group of redundant officials, and sat down on the main seat with a golden sword, that is, he said: "Where is the prison?"

Sun Ji was stunned when he heard this, so he had to say: "Back to Your Highness, since the previous ordnance supervisor Zheng was imprisoned, the ordnance supervisor has not been a prisoner, and he has always been in charge of the lower officials."

Li Pojun was stunned when he heard this, I went, I didn't even bother to send officials, this prison happened to be a high-ranking official from the fourth grade.

Look at the surrounding environment, the wealth is ruined, there is no ornament on the whole wall, and there is a stove on the side that is actually boiling water, which is really bitter.

"Young Eunuch Sun, the ordnance supervisor is also the son of the five eunuchs of the Nine Temples, and the chief official is also a dignified four-grade master, how can this yamen be like this...... So bitter, and so leisurely? ”

Sun Ji smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness has learned that although the Ordnance Supervisor is one of the five prisons, it is a dispensable yamen, and it will be abolished for a few catties."

"Why? Isn't it necessary to extract weapons from here in the army? Li Pojun asked suspiciously, but he really didn't know about this.
