Prime Minister Liu Yong and King Su couldn't help but look at Liu Yijin. What on earth was this guy thinking? He didn't hesitate to offend the civil servants and generals of the dynasty, and he even said shamelessly that the Supervision Department should stand at the front!
Just when Xikun, the Minister of Punishment, was about to speak, Liu Yijin couldn't help but glance at him: "What, do you have any objections?"
Xikun sneered: "A small supervisory department is at the bottom among hundreds of officials. You have no right to speak in this court!"
Next to King Su, Yao Yuan from the Ministry of War also snorted: "The Supervision Department just needs to do its job well. You don't need to say anything in the court!"
Liu Yijin snorted, turned around and cupped his hands towards the empress: "Our Supervisory Department is appointed by His Majesty to investigate traitors at the top and the common people at the bottom. If you can serve your Majesty wholeheartedly, you will definitely be loyal to the country. If there are any criminals, If there are any criminals or people with evil intentions, then our Supervision Department is not a vegetarian."
"Besides, Your Majesty allows me to go to court without paying homage, and I am also the deputy director of the Supervision Department. This alone is already a head above you."
"Of course, I'm not saying that everyone in the government is corrupt, but if they are a black sheep, then don't blame me, the Supervision Department, for being unkind."
After finishing speaking, Liu Yijin knelt down to the empress and said: "Your Majesty, although Cao Min is a small long-term worker, he has gained your Majesty's trust to take up the post of deputy director of the Supervision Department. I am willing to lead my colleagues in the Supervision Department to report to the country and serve your Majesty." Clean inside and out.”
The empress was stunned and couldn't help but take another look at Liu Yijin. Her original intention of creating the Supervision Department was just for this, but even after changing the three people, they still couldn't really understand what she meant. She didn't expect that this little long-term worker could actually understand it at a glance. Just see your true intention.
The empress looked at Liu Yijin with a smile: "You have just arrived in the capital, and you don't know everything yet. Let Zhang Bing take care of you later. Get up first."
Liu Yijin shook his head: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that the common people want to ask for your approval. This matter is the foundation of the country. If your Majesty agrees, the Daqian Dynasty will definitely become the best dynasty in the world. Your Majesty's achievements are completely It can rival Emperor Gaozu and even expand the territory of Daqian!"
"Oh?" The empress became interested: "Then I would like to hear if you have any good suggestions."
Liu Yijing said: "Let me get out of the way first."
Liu Yijin stood up and looked at the people in the court, his eyes resting on King Su; "I have heard for a long time that King Su has been guarding the border all year round. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Da Gan against Da Xia?"
King Su didn't expect Liu Yijin's first shot to be directed at him, but since it was the empress in front, he could only say calmly: "Daqian's military force is not as good as that of Daxia, and the cavalry is slightly inferior, but Daqian's infantry battle Very strong."
Liu Yijin was stunned: "It's gone?"
King Su grunted: "No more."
Liu Yijin sneered: "Soldiers are deceitful. In a battle between the two sides, scouting comes first, assassination comes second, and large-scale combat comes third."
"Of course, all this depends on the talents of the generals on both sides. I have been fortunate enough to go to the border, and I highly admire the eldest princess's strategy of leading the troops."
King Su looked gloomy: "Why, do you also know the art of war?"
Yao Yuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, also snorted coldly: "I think he is just a man who can only talk about war on paper. Fighting is not a matter of pretending. If you can explain it in a few words, then why do you need the Ministry of War to deduce it?"
"Deduction is just a theory. Opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting. When two soldiers meet, courage comes first and equipment comes second. There have been battles in history where a small number defeated a large number. Can we win by relying on deduction?"
Yao Yuan didn't expect that this guy spoke so eloquently, and he also sneered at the moment.
Prime Minister Liu Yong on the side felt a lot more relaxed when he saw Liu Yijin's spear pointed directly at Prince Su. At least for now, Liu Yijin didn't seem to be too cold towards Prince Su.
Liu Yijin turned directly to Liu Yong and said calmly: "Prime Minister, I still have something unclear."
Liu Yong was stunned and looked at Liu Yijin with a smile: "I wonder what Deputy Chief Liu has to say?"
Liu Yijin heard Liu Yong's dissatisfaction and didn't care. Instead, he chuckled: "I saw the magnificent city wall before I came here, and Lord Zhang also mentioned that when Emperor Gaozu was conquering the world, I asked out of curiosity and found out It turns out black powder was used.”
"I wonder if the Prime Minister knows about black powder."
Liu Yong frowned. He couldn't stand Liu Yijin's unbridled thinking, and he had no idea where this guy's next sentence would fall.
"Black gunpowder was invented by Emperor Gaozu back then, and it has become my secret weapon today."
Liu Yong looked at Liu Yijin indifferently: "Why, do you also know about black powder?"
Liu Yijin smiled: "The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials. He not only has to consider the affairs of the court, but also the long-term development of the court. Am I right?"
Liu Yong's face darkened: "Deputy Chief Liu seems to have something in his words."
Liu Yijin sneered: "Since the Prime Minister knows the existence of black gunpowder and also knows the power of this kind of murder weapon, have you ever written to His Majesty to request the re-development of black gunpowder?"
Liu Yong glanced at the empress and saw that the latter was also looking at him. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and said: "The country's murder weapon should be kept secret. It is better to destroy this formula."
"Short-sighted!" Liu Yijin sneered: "You are a very incompetent prime minister."
"You!" Liu Yong's face turned livid with anger.
All the officials in the court were extremely speculative. They all looked at the empress and saw that she had no intention of stopping Liu Yijin. Naturally, various thoughts arose in everyone's mind.
Judging from the current situation, the empress seems to know all of Liu Yijin's thoughts. Could it be that the empress specially transferred Liu Yijin to the capital this time just to let him come and be a disruptive fish?
Or maybe what Liu Yijin said was actually what the empress meant, and she wanted to use Liu Yijin to beat everyone present.
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts became clearer. It seemed that the empress was dissatisfied both inside and outside the court.
This Liu Yijin looks like he is only about 20 years old, and he is also a long-term worker. He cannot read a single Chinese character. How could such a person say such a thing if there is no one to teach him?
There must be the teachings of the empress behind this.
The reactions of the ministers naturally also caught the attention of the empress, but she also looked suspicious. Liu Yijin had no one to teach him, so how could he know so much.
Liu Yong looked at Liu Yijin with a sneer: "Black gunpowder is the foundation of the country. In order to prevent other countries from plagiarizing it, the formula should be destroyed and only the black gunpowder needed by the Daqian Dynasty should be kept."
"In the one hundred years from Emperor Gaozu to the present, the Daqian Dynasty has remained so stable because of the existence of black gunpowder. If, as you said, the formula of black gunpowder is researched, it will inevitably cause other countries to covet it. Besides, black gunpowder The formula has long been lost, even if I want to prepare it, there is no way."
Liu Yijin sneered: "If virtue is not worthy, virtue is not worthy. Why are you giving yourself so many excuses?"
Liu Yong's face turned livid with anger, and Xikun sneered: "Listen to what this means, sir, do you know the formula of black powder?"
"How difficult is it? The formula can be found in just a matter of minutes."
As soon as he said this, the court was in an uproar.
"This is nonsense. The recipe for black powder has been lost for a long time. How can anyone in the world except Gaozu prepare it?"
"Even if it is configured, it is just a smoke. I think it is just talking nonsense!"
Jin Bing, the official secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, was the prime minister. When he saw Liu Yong giving him a look, he hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this Liu Yijin is just a long-term worker, and he is here to talk about state affairs and belittle the great achievements of our ancestors. He really has ulterior motives! Wei Chen suggested that he be kicked out of the court!"
Yao Yuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, also said: "Wei Chen believes that Liu Yijin is just trying to make a fool of himself in order to gain a good name for himself. Such a person really should not be in the court."
Liu Yong even stood up and said: "Your Majesty, black gunpowder is related to the world's affairs. This Liu Yijin swears so firmly, it shows that he has a lot of thoughts."
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Gao Ju, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said: "Our Ministry of Industry has the most powerful craftsmen in the world, and we dare not say that black gunpowder can be developed. How can Liu Yijin be so good? , actually said that black gunpowder can be developed!"
For a time, people in the court were attacking Liu Yijin one after another, and it was very likely that the Daqian Dynasty would not be safe unless he was removed.
And Liu Yijin just stood aside with a sneer and said nothing.
The empress glanced at Liu Yijin: "Do you have anything to say?"
Liu Yijin smiled lightly and shook his head: "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan, and the clamor of a group of frogs at the bottom of the well is nothing to worry about."
Grass.
Zhang Bing, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but want to raise his thumb. This guy dared to target all the courtiers as soon as he came. He was so awesome.
If Zhang Bing hadn't known that Liu Yijin was not specially arranged by the Empress at all, he would have suspected that the Empress was behind this guy's instructions.
The empress was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing: "What a bird that knows the ambitions of a swan, Liu Yijin. I feel that I owe you a bit for the position of deputy head of the Supervision Department."
"I think you can definitely become my cabinet."
As soon as he said these words, there was a sudden silence in the court.
Even Prime Minister Liu Yong was shocked and looked at the empress with surprise. However, the empress only looked at Liu Yijin with a faint smile on her face, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Yijin waved his hands hurriedly: "Your Majesty, if you asked me to be the cabinet, I really wouldn't be so bold."
"Oh? Why is this?"
Liu Yijin chuckled: "The higher my position, the less I want to offend others. By then I may only see power and money, and I will betray His Majesty's trust in me."
"And I think the position of the Supervision Department is very good for me. When I have nothing to do, I can study the thoughts of the adults in the court, send a few young people to secretly investigate someone, and arrest them when they find evidence. This kind of life is free and easy. , and you can also receive a large amount of bribes."
The empress was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You brat, you are telling the truth."
