Chapter Four hundred and ninety-one who will take the pot?
Han Du did not lie. The quality of cotton does have a huge impact on the collodion produced.
If you want to make the best collodion, you naturally need the best cotton.
"Did you do it on purpose? Just staring at my little money?" Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and looked at Han Du fiercely.
Han Du ignored the matter and said to Lao Zhu with his hands spread out: "I have no intention of doing so. In fact, I don't think this thing is too expensive, so I just made two handfuls."
Han Du didn't care. After all, it was Lao Zhu who needed the revolver, not him, so what was there to be anxious about?
As long as Lao Zhu can endure the temptation of this revolver, then he can not make one at all. In this case, doesn't it mean that he doesn't have to spend a penny?
What is saving? This is it!
But Lao Zhu is not an emperor who has never seen the world. He deeply knows how powerful this kind of fire gun is. It can directly and significantly increase the combat power of the Ming army. How could he turn a blind eye?
Lao Zhu was just angry that Han Du kept talking and wanted to take away his little money.
"Go back and let me reflect on you. I will get angry when I see you."
Lao Zhu waved his hand and threatened to drive Han Du out if he disliked it.
Han Du didn't react, thinking that Lao Zhu asked him to go back to prison. He nodded and said, "I'm leaving..."
Suddenly waking up, Han Du looked at Lao Zhu, trembling with his mouth trembling, and asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, did you mean to let me go home..."
Lao Zhu glared at Han Du coldly and said angrily: "Why, do you still want to go to prison?"
After a pause and seeing that Han Du had no reaction, Lao Zhu sighed and said: "Since you want to continue living there, then you can go and live there. Anyway, there is no room fee there, and there are people taking care of the food."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will go home now, I will go home now..." Han Du hurriedly bowed to Lao Zhu and left, happily leaving the imperial study.
Rang stood outside the palace gate waiting for the old eunuch. When he saw Han Du's actions, he was confused.
Seeing Han Du's embarrassed look, Lao Zhu suddenly smiled and cursed softly: "You're a worthless thing."
This sentence happened to be overheard by the old eunuch who had just walked in. He smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Han is a man of great talent. This is what he looks like in front of the Emperor."
Han Du has a great talent, and Lao Zhu naturally knows it well. But the old eunuch wants to say it out loud, obviously for his own purpose, which is to flatter the emperor. The implication of the old eunuch's words is obvious, Han Du
Du naturally has great talents, and talented and arrogant people always look like this in front of the emperor. Doesn't this mean that the emperor is more majestic and upright?
Lao Zhu was obviously very happy with the old eunuch's flattery, but as he always liked novelty and kept it secret, he naturally didn't want others to see through his mind.
Therefore, Lao Zhu had no expression on his face and lightly rebuked the old eunuch, "How many people have you met? Do you know he has great talent?"
"Yes, this slave deserves to die. This slave is talking nonsense." The old eunuch immediately blamed himself with a nervous look on his face.
Seeing that Lao Zhu was not angry, the old eunuch changed the subject and said, "I'll go and pour the emperor a cup of tea."
Lao Zhu waved his hand to stop him and said: "The tea will not be poured out. Let's go to Fengtian Temple."
...
Anqing also knelt in front of Queen Ma and begged.
Queen Ma saw An Qing kneeling on the ground pitifully, and her knees couldn't help but tremble slightly. Knowing that An Qing's knees must be unbearable, she sighed, "Since the pain is unbearable, then get up."
An Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, "Did the Queen agree?"
"What did I promise?"
The joy on An Qing's face suddenly faded, and he stopped getting up again. He said angrily: "If the Queen does not agree, I will not get up. I will keep kneeling and begging the Queen until the Queen agrees."
Queen Ma took a sip of tea slowly and approached An Qing with a smile, "Then just kneel down."
The smile on An Qing's face suddenly solidified.
A palace maid came in from outside. She lowered her head and did not dare to look around. She came to Queen Ma and said, "Your Majesty."
"Where is the Emperor?"
"Go back to your Majesty, Your Majesty has gone to Fengtian Palace."
Empress Ma pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Fengtian Palace."
"Mother!" An Qing exclaimed when he heard that his mother was going to Fengtian Palace. He looked at his mother with a pitiful face, she also wanted to go.
Queen Ma turned to An Qing, smiled, and sighed: "Didn't you say that you won't get up if I don't agree? Then you can continue to kneel here."
After saying this, Queen Ma left with the maids and eunuchs cheering and cheering.
In Fengtian Hall, Xu Datanghe and others, as well as six ministers, were left here after the emperor came back.
Everyone didn't know what the emperor's intention was, and there was a lot of discussion.
However, Xu Datang and Li Shanchang did not participate in the discussion. The three of them stood there without saying a word. They had followed the emperor all their lives and had followed him since the rebels. They knew him very well.
Since the emperor didn't ask everyone to leave, there must be something that needs everyone's use.
At this time, what else can do that requires the use of everyone?
Li Shanchang and Xu Da looked at each other, and they both had a clear understanding in their hearts. Their eyes separated as soon as they touched each other, and they each bowed their heads without saying a word.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
As the old eunuch shouted, Lao Zhu walked to the dragon chair with a straight face and sat down.
"Long live my emperor, long live long live..."
"Everyone, I love you." Lao Zhu extended his hand to signal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing everyone getting up, Lao Zhu had an angry look on his face and asked in a deep voice: "My dear friends, what do you think of this matter today?"
Elder Li Shan was cunning and didn't care about Lao Zhu's face at all. When he heard Lao Zhu ask this question, he somewhat guessed what the emperor wanted to do. Therefore, he pretended not to hear what the emperor said and stood there blankly.
In situ.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Han Du, as an official of the imperial court, behaved in an outrageous and rude manner and should be severely punished as a warning to others." Li Shuzheng stood up and spoke out first.
There are two reasons why Li Shuzheng stood up. Firstly, he was the Minister of Rites and followed etiquette the most. In his opinion, Han Du's behavior of standing up to snatch the bride after failing to ask for a marriage was similar to treason. It was against the Ming Dynasty.
Etiquette, the most thorough trampling. Secondly, Han Du's past actions were completely ignored by him. From the perspective of a person like him who values etiquette, Han Du's behavior of ignoring etiquette is just like him.
Out of place.
Lao Zhu didn't say anything after hearing this.
However, Lao Zhu did not speak for Han Du, but it does not mean that no one will speak for Han Du.
