"Master Qin, have you heard that there is a big basket in the Ministry of War."
In a quiet mansion outside the imperial capital, Pang Lun, chief of the Ministry of Rituals, took a sip of steaming tea before speaking slowly.
"It's not a big mess, isn't it just a craftsman who has absconded." Qin An, the chief of the staff department, looked calm and breezy.
"But that craftsman knew the formula for making gunpowder, and took away some blueprints of our latest weapons. If the enemy took it, the consequences would be disastrous." Pang Lun said worriedly.
Qin An said indifferently: "I don't think there is anything to worry about. Even if the enemy knows how to make gunpowder, it's nothing more than a tie on the battlefield. So, the sky will not fall."
"But after all, it is a sharp weapon on the battlefield. If the enemy also gets it out, our soldiers will probably suffer a lot of casualties in the battle on the battlefield. It will not be a good thing after all."
"There is nothing perfect in this world. Even if the craftsman doesn't abscond, the gunpowder will eventually be known through other channels. It's just a matter of time."
Qin An said to Pang Lun; "So it's useless for us to worry. It's better to do our own thing well and make the empire stronger and stronger. When we become stronger to a certain extent, others will not dare to act rashly even if they get gunpowder."
Pang Lun, chief of the Ministry of Rites, nodded after thinking for a while: "That's true, as long as we are strong enough, they won't dare to act rashly."
"However, it was their negligence that caused such a big incident in the Ministry of War this time." Pang Lun immediately changed the topic.
"And I heard that the deputy director of the logistics and equipment department in charge of several arsenals is the brother-in-law of Chief Li."
"you mean?"
Seeing Pang Lun suddenly say these secrets, Qin An didn't know what he wanted to say.
"In just one year, our deputy director has been promoted several levels from a small officer to the deputy director of the logistics and equipment department, and has become a fourth-rank official of the imperial court. It's tricky." Pang Lun said with a smile.
"Why don't we take the opportunity to get a copy of President Li and impeach him for using power for personal gain and nepotism."
When Qin An heard Pang Lun's bold idea, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and sighed.
"President Li has won His Majesty's trust. It is useless for you to impeach him. Your Majesty can only blame him for a few words. Maybe you will cause trouble instead."
Qin An is well aware of Li Qiye's power. At the beginning, he was the chief of military affairs and chief of staff, and he was almost the No. 2 figure in the Qinghe Army.
He is also slightly inferior as the chief of government affairs. Now Li Qiye is the chief of the military department, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. There is really no way to pull Li Qiye down for such a trivial matter.
"Master Qin misunderstood me, what I mean is that you go to read his book."
Pang Lun looked at Qin An who shook his head and sighed, and expressed a thought in his heart.
"I have no grievances or enmities with him, and I have no need to offend him."
Although Qin An is sometimes jealous of Li Qiye's power, in fact he has no conflict of interest with Li Qiye.
Because Li Qiye has always been in charge of military affairs, he is concerned with government affairs, and he can be regarded as Chen Ziang's right-hand man.
Chen Ziang has always emphasized working together, so they are more united and there is nothing dirty.
Therefore, when Pang Lun asked him to come forward to impeach Li Qiye, Qin An was naturally unwilling, because he couldn't do it.
"Lord Qin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After passing this village, there will be no such shop." Pang Lun, chief of the Ministry of Rites, persuaded.
The relationship between Qin An and Pang Lun has always been good, but now seeing Pang Lun sowing discord, he felt a sense of disgust in his heart.
"Master Qin, I'm not trying to sow discord, it's for your own good."
Seeing the disgust flashing in Qin An's eyes, Pang Lun continued to speak with a smile.
Qin An picked up the teacup, glanced at Pang Lun and said, "Tell me what's best for me."
"It's true that you and Chief Li are His Majesty's right-hand men, but your relationship is very good, and now the situation in the empire has gradually stabilized. If you continue to be so good, it will be a great threat to Your Majesty. "
"This time, if you take the opportunity to participate in Chief Li's book, even if you have a bad relationship with Chief Li temporarily, you will be able to stay safe."
After hearing what Pang Lun said, Qin?The complexion also became dignified, and he began to think about the joints.
In the past, he just concentrated on doing things, and never thought about these things at all.
Now after Pang Lun, the head of the Ministry of Rites, gave such instructions, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
He is in charge of the appointment of officials from all over the world, and he is also the chief of the General Affairs Department on duty. Li Qiye is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the world.
The relationship between the two of them has always been good. Once the two of them join forces and want to do something, it is estimated that they will really succeed.
But from Chen Ziang's point of view, their friendly relationship is indeed a great threat.
If they continue to maintain such a good relationship, it is estimated that Chen Ziang will find trouble with them soon.
After all, both of them are people with senior qualifications or great influence. If Chen Ziang wants to move them, he should do nothing. A move is bound to be a thunderbolt.
Because a slight beating will make them feel jealous, so if they are moved, it is probably a matter of Zhu Jiuzu.
"Master Qin, Master Qin?"
Seeing Qin An's face was cloudy and uncertain, but his forehead was sweating coldly, Pang Lun saw that he was silent, so he also yelled a few times in a low voice.
"it's okay no problem."
Qin An also came back to his senses, and the gaze he looked at Pang Lun suddenly softened a lot.
If Pang Lun hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't know how he died in the future.
"You are right, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"How about this, you have a lot of literati in the Ministry of Rites, please help me draw up a script of impeachment, and I will hand it over in person later."
Although Qin An was 10,000 unwilling, but for the sake of long-term planning, he had to deteriorate his relationship with Li Qiye, Chief of the Ministry of War, at least on the surface, he could no longer be so united.
Because their unity is a threat to Chen Ziang, if they stumbling each other, they will be safe.
Although Pang Lun is the head of the Ministry of Rites and one of the great members of the imperial court, his foundation is quite shallow.
In addition to Pang Lun's relationship with Lieutenant General Du Xiaoniu, Tang Ping, and Zhou Ting, they were all ordered to fight behind enemy lines and were in charge of the local area and the army respectively.
But Pang Lun knew that in order to gain a firm foothold in the imperial court, he could only rely on Du Xiaoniu to get along well with them, and he had to hug his thighs. Qin An, the chief of the official department, was his thigh in his eyes.
That's why he often visits Qin An, and now advises Qin An.
Now seeing that Qin An asked the Ministry of Rites to find someone to help write the impeachment book, he knew that he was also accepted by Qin An, so he agreed happily. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
