"Get flat." Wei Zi knelt on the ground for a long time before the emperor's voice came from above his head. "Wei Aiqing, how is the armory recently?"

"..." Is this the rhythm of settlement after autumn!Trying to analyze the joy and anger in the emperor's voice, Wei Zi carefully weighed the rhetoric that was on his lips. "Army Institute, it's pretty good." After turning around, Wei Zi wanted to say that the officials in the Armory Institute were not doing their job properly, that officials and craftsmen were seriously stratified, and that cliques were prevalent... and so on. came out, but the words came to his lips, and after turning around, Wei Zi swallowed them all back.In modern times, the leader asks his subordinates to give their opinions, and the result is that the one who tells the truth will probably be put on a small shoe. In ancient times... You must know that everyone is not equal here. The emperor's words, implicating the sincerity of the nine gods and horses, are not a joke.Although I really don't have any Nine Clans here.

"Oh? Is that so?" Hearing what Wei Zi said, the emperor raised his eyebrows. He was really talking to someone, but this way, it would be more fun... "Why don't I know Wei Aiqing Is your character so shy?"

"..." If it wasn't for the emperor, Wei Zi would really swear!But the idea of ​​swearing was just a circle in his head, and then Wei Zi kicked it out of his head without hesitation and mercilessly. "emperor……"

"What's wrong? Is there anything Wei Aiqing wants to change?"

"...Yes." Anyway, if you stretch one end out, you will die, but if you retract one end, you may not be able to live.Wei Zi gritted his teeth and let go.Anyway, in the martial arts arena and other arenas, those two fights of my own have already vented my bottom~ completely.If you pretend to be 'shy' at this time, it's really shameless...

"Wei Aiqing, you have to think about it before you talk."

Eunuch Sun, who was standing beside the emperor, heard the emperor speak in this tone, couldn't help but rolled his eyes and took a peek at the expression on the emperor's face at this moment.Sure enough, the emperor's interest came again... Mr. Wei, I hope you can satisfy the emperor's hobbies, and you have a good journey...

The emperor's voice made Wei Zi feel that he had instantly turned into a mouse, the kind of mouse trapped in a cat's arms, trembling, desperate to survive or die.And the emperor is the cat who is having a good time.Before the cat showed its sharp nails, Wei Zi took a deep breath and desperately chose a way of life that seemed to lead to freedom. "In the armory station, officials spend most of their time in the office room, doing nothing. They either look for scriptures to read by themselves, or discuss some gossip about the court in small groups. The craftsmen in the station and the upper-level officials The management and management officials are basically in a state of disconnection, and when they are in contact with each other, they are limited to the distribution and collection of weapons tasks once every ten days." In one breath, after saying this, Wei Zi let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead .

"Wei Aiqing," after waiting for a long time, the emperor opened his mouth again. "anything else?"

"Ah?" What else?Tilting his head, Wei Zi looked up suspiciously at the emperor who was sitting on the table, drinking tea leisurely.Didn't the emperor respond to what he said just now?Shouldn't you be angry?Is it waiting to put on small shoes for yourself later?

"Wei Aiqing, you haven't said how you are doing in the military weapon factory." Hearing Wei Zi's words just now, the emperor was not angry. The Qisuo turned out to be so loose inside, the emperor was so angry that he almost laughed.However, meeting Wei Zi's bewildered eyes, the emperor regained his sanity in an instant.

"Me?" Hearing the emperor's question, Wei Zi was even more puzzled. "I'm fine..." Seeing the emperor showing a half-smile expression, Wei Zi not only didn't clear his mind, but on the contrary became even more confused. "Uncle craftsmen, they teach me little blacksmithing skills and experience almost every day." Speaking of forging, Wei Zi's eyes lit up instantly. "It has been passed down from generation to generation, and many skills are very practical! Moreover, I have also learned a lot of forging methods for knives, and the uncles also generously lent me the forging table. Moreover, I am in the office. I found a lot of good things left by the predecessors in it! For example, a half-designed weapon, a summary of forging, and a description of skills..."

"..." At first, the emperor thought that he could hear a lot of complaints about being excluded, or exaggerated exaggerations, but... Looking at the young man with bright eyes standing in front of him, the emperor felt that he seemed to understand. Jun'an, Zong Yu, and their crazy girl—Feng Pingrui, all praised Wei Zi a lot, and when they talked about Wei Zi, they always had a smile on their faces.

After all, Wei Zi is not an ancient person, he does not have the kind of respect for the emperor from the heart, deeply buried in the bone marrow, and he habitually regards the lord of the country in front of him as an elder who is older than himself. "Your Majesty, do you know what the Third Prince likes?"

"Huh?" The emperor was thinking about the fourth daughter who was hiding in the barracks and never returned to the imperial city. Wei Zi asked this question unexpectedly, even the emperor didn't react. "What happened to Xian'er?"

"Ah, that's right." Wei Zi scratched his hair and said a little embarrassedly. "Didn't I make a spear for the fourth princess a few days ago..."

"Hmm~" That damned girl was afraid that I would scold her. After the competition, she carried her long gun into the barracks, and she hasn't come back until now.The pole was silver in color, shining dazzlingly in the sun, before I wanted to take it over to take a look, that damn girl actually got into the barracks and couldn't come out!Can I eat her, or can I eat her spear!

Thinking of this, the emperor snorted arrogantly.

"Actually, the fourth princess pestered me for a long time because of that spear. These days, the third prince..." A big man was pestered by a woman, and he could speak out confidently, but when he was pestered by a man, twelve Shi Chen, eight Shi Chen was entangled... No matter how thick Wei Zi was, he couldn't tell. "I wonder if the third prince also wants a weapon, but I'm too embarrassed to open my mouth..." Afraid that the emperor might misunderstand, Wei Zi added. "Weapons are actually good things that are not novel, but those that you are used to are the most suitable for you. I heard from Uncle Chen that the weapon that the Third Prince used before was always the tiger-mouth knife made by Uncle Chen. For this kind of knife, My craftsmanship is really not as good as Uncle Chen's."

"..." Regarding Feng Pingxian's mess, the emperor no longer wanted to take care of it.When I was young, I saw older children with temperamental temperaments. Even though I didn't get in touch with these children often, but I became famous, I didn't feel like I didn't have a little bit in my heart.The third prince, Feng Pingxian, looks at the sun and is close to the people, but he is extremely arrogant in his bones.As the prince, and the mother concubine is Xiao Yan, that child even disdains to deal with ministers below the third rank.This time Feng Pingxian actually condescended to hang around Wei Zi, it was probably Xiao Yan's idea.Since childhood, that child has been a puppet in Xiao Yan's hand, basically it's Xiao Yan's words and Feng Pingxian's actions.Unexpectedly, when Wang Jingtian was arrested, the Xiao family was still in constant motion...

Covering the sneer at the corner of his mouth with a cup, the emperor's eyes became a little more stern.Don't think that what happened back then can be let go without evidence, I remember everything, every single one.After so many years, I am no longer the prince who hurried back to the palace just after the civil strife was quelled.The Xiao family, Xiao Yan, I will settle the accounts with you over the years...

"You don't need to worry about that child, Xian'er, probably too busy recently." Xiao Yan is worthy of being a woman who has lived in the palace for so many years, she can figure out so much content with just one action.However, what I don't want you to get, even if you stretch your claws, you can only find nothing!Wei Zi, he wanted to keep him in Fengqi City and the Imperial City, and he really wanted to get married, but!It is me who makes the final decision! "Wei Aiqing, what do you think about Wang Jingtian's matter?"

"Ah?" Wei Zi reacted for a long time before he remembered that on the way here just now, the father-in-law who led the way had said that the Zhongshu who was being played seemed to be surnamed Wang? "The Zhongshu who was played for corruption?"

"Well, what does Wei Aiqing think about this?" At first it was just to change the subject, but soon the emperor began to look forward to Wei Zi's answer.Looking forward to this young man who has just entered the court can give a different answer.

"..." The problem of corruption has not been completely solved by the wisdom of 5000 years, what can I do.But in front of the emperor, Wei Zi didn't dare to directly and confidently say that he didn't know, so he could only bite the bullet and organize his words simply. "Maybe the officials could be rotated."

Really novel idea.Raising his hand, the emperor signaled Wei Zi to continue talking.

Wei Zi just had a flash of inspiration just now, who knew that the emperor asked him to elaborate... racking his brains, Wei Zi tried his best to recall the information he had read about this aspect. "Civilian officials can exchange positions at the same level in different departments. In this way, no one wants to clean up the trouble left by the previous person, and those who are greedy can spit out more or less. For the military officer, a group arena can be held every few years If you win, you can choose a good place to guard, and if you lose, you can move to a place with a bad environment..." While talking, Wei Zi thought of the exam that made him scratch his head. "For civil servants, you can also conduct some competitions, especially the analysis of empirical cases..."

The emperor wanted to hear a relatively novel plan from the beginning, no, it was just an idea to be precise, but he never expected that Wei Zi would surprise him so much. "I'll give you three days to go back and draw up a memorial."

"what?"

"There's still this for you," the emperor seemed to take a palm-sized jade pot from the bookshelf without any hassle. "Someone around you is injured. This is the royal family's wound medicine. Take it for someone to drink." Wei Zi.

"Oh." Holding the jade pot, Wei Zi stared blankly at the emperor.

"You can leave."

"Resignation." Until he walked out of the imperial city, Wei Zi felt that his head still couldn't turn the corner.
