Many people are lacking in the concept of safe production.
The general idea is that when other people have accidents, it is due to bad luck. I am extremely lucky, how could something happen?
The specific details are, what is the difference between gunpowder piled under the wall and gunpowder piled in a closed warehouse? They are all piles anyway, and if something happens, no matter where they are, you can't hide.
Sober people stand on the sidelines and think that such people are ignorant and pathetic.
But not everyone is sober, and most people in this era do not have awareness of safety knowledge.
They felt that after the gunpowder was manufactured, it was piled in a distant warehouse and required labor to carry it. Then someone would soon come to pick up the gunpowder, and labor would be needed to move the gunpowder out of the warehouse. Repeating the process was a waste of manpower and material resources.
Li Qinzai could allow the craftsmen and servants to be ignorant without blaming them.
But as a firearms supervisor, if he does not have safety awareness, it will be a disaster for both the individual and the country.
Such a person must not sit in this position anymore. It will kill many people and delay the important affairs of the court.
"Fu Youyi, right? Just wait until he is dismissed from office. If I were you, I would go to the house to pack my luggage right now. In a few hours, I'll get out of here." Li Qinzai sneered.
Fu Youyi's voice became shrill, like an uncut eunuch in the palace.
"Why do you have it? Who do you think you are? You are just a favored official of the emperor. What qualifications do you have to dismiss me from office?"
Li Qinzai smiled: "Didn't you just say that? Just because I am favored by the emperor."
After a pause, Li Qinzai added: "By the way, and all the gunpowder and firearms in the Tang Dynasty, as well as the nearest mines, were all made by me. In this regard, I have the supreme authority. If the emperor doesn't want to If something happens, he has to listen to me, is that enough?"
Fu Youyi was startled, his face turned livid, and he stood in front of Li Qinzai, trembling with anger.
"Fu Youyi, your backer has fallen. Find your backer yourself. Don't make fun of national affairs. You have gone too far and all nine clans will suffer. By deposing you today, I will actually save your life and that of your clan."
After speaking, Li Qinzai turned around and left.
Liu Shenli hesitated for a moment and hurriedly followed Li Qinzai.
"Forgive me, Mr. Li, but I am an incompetent official..."
Li Qinzai said coldly: "You are indeed incompetent. Firearms Supervision has such huge hidden dangers. Even if you can't stop Fu Youyi, why don't you report it? If something happens to the workshop, have you ever thought about what will happen to you?"
Liu Shenli was sweating coldly, and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, Li County, because Li Yifu and his clan members were accused, Fu Youyi was also implicated. I heard there are rumors from above that when spring comes, the officials will demote Fu Youyi to Lingnan." Being the chief clerk of the county government is like being demoted several levels in a row."
"Fu Youyi heard the news and has been particularly grumpy recently, but he has no choice but to do anything about it, so he dares to contradict anyone he sees, no matter how big or small he is. He is afraid that he has already risked his life. That's why he dares to be so rude to you today."
Li Qinzai sighed: "You are wrong. I want to dismiss him, not because of his rudeness, but because he has done something wrong. The things in the hands of the Firearms Supervisor are devastating, and no mistakes are allowed."
Li Qinzai quickly returned to Chang'an City. After entering the city, he did not stop and went straight into Tai Chi Palace.
In front of Li Zhi and Empress Wu, Li Qinzai told the truth about what he saw and heard in the firearms inspection in detail. Li Zhi suddenly became furious and immediately issued an order to dismiss Fu Youyi from office and ordered Dali Temple to question him.
The matter is not a big deal, just talk it over between the monarch and his ministers. As for Fu Youyi's fate...
Who cares about the fate of this little guy?
Under the waves, he was just a speck of dust.
However, when Li Zhi was talking to Li Qinzai, an unpredictable light flashed in the eyes of Empress Wu sitting next to him.
…………
Two hours later, Fu Youyi walked out of the Firearms Prison in despair. His official uniform had been stripped off, and he was only wearing a white undershirt. There were two Dali Temple guards escorting him behind him.
Yes, Li Qinzai was indeed able to depose him, and he did so resolutely.
And when officials like Fu Youyi make mistakes, they can't be simply dismissed and everything will be fine.
He was a young inspector of the Firearms Supervision Bureau and mastered the secrets of gunpowder manufacturing. Of course, Li Zhi would not allow such a person to show off after he was dismissed from office.
Even if Li Zhi is a wise king and will not kill people easily, it is appropriate to sit in jail.
In other words, even though Fu Youyi saved his life, he would basically never see the light of day in this life.
Huddled in the corner of the Dali Temple prison, his nose filled with the smell of dampness and rancidity, Fu Youyi's expression was numb.
As early as the day when his backer Li Yifu fell, Fu Youyi knew that his official career had come to an end. Offending Li Qinzai today was just an inducement. Even if nothing happened today, his fate would not have changed in any way.
At this time, Fu Youyi was already despairing.
During the years in prison, Fu Youyi didn't know how long it was cold or hot day and night. She couldn't remember how long she huddled up until the jailer came over with a big wooden bucket to put food.
Of course, the food in the prison was not delicious, and it was impossible for Fu Youyi to be treated like Li Qinzai.
A dumpling of wild vegetables that smelled rancid was thrown on the damp ground, covered in dust and mud. The jailer turned around and walked to the next cell.
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Youyi finally felt hungry, so she crawled towards the wild vegetable dumpling with difficulty.
Fu Youyi opened it with a dull expression and was about to bite it when he suddenly found a rolled up note mixed in the wild vegetable dumpling.
Fu Youyi was stunned and carefully unfolded the note. The fonts on it were as small as fly legs. Fu Youyi read it carefully, a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly stuffed the note into his mouth and swallowed it.
Caught off guard, a burst of wild laughter came from the Dali Temple prison, which echoed in the gloomy prison and sounded terrifying.
…………
The New Year has passed, and the jubilant atmosphere among the people has gradually settled down.
There are 360 days in a year, and it is impossible to celebrate the New Year every day. After all, we still have to run for a living.
The envoys from various countries spent an unforgettable New Year in Chang'an, and one after another they bid farewell to Li Zhi.
The imperial court is very generous, and it always shows the magnanimity of a great nation when it comes to returning gifts. It is so generous that it makes people feel distressed.
The envoys from various countries returned with full loads and left Chang'an City happily.
Of course, there were also some who were not very happy, such as the Tibetan envoy Zashile.
This time, on behalf of Tubo to congratulate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zashile received several beatings. Each beating was different, with different parts of the body being beaten and different people beating him.
Li Qinzai, Japan, and Silla all left the mark of love on him.
It seems miserable, but I am afraid of comparison in everything.
Compared with what happened to Zashile, the experience of the envoys of Silla Kingdom was even worse.
After leaving Chang'an City, the Silla envoy brought generous gifts from the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. When the team arrived outside Jizhou City, Silla envoy Jin Wenying was assassinated by a group of masked assassins.
The assassination came suddenly, and the assassins left as quickly as they came. Almost in an instant, the entire Silla delegation was slaughtered, leaving only Jin Wenying's lifeless body.
