Chapter 276 The research on gunpowder is on the fast track
Li Zhi is very domineering today.
Any mention of the explosion in the imperial city would be ignored by him, and he kicked off two censors one after another. After the incident, basically everyone in the hall knew what the emperor meant.
"Your Majesty doesn't want to talk about the explosion in the Imperial City, so we won't talk about it. However, what is going on in the Imperial City that has caused heavy casualties? Doesn't Your Majesty also intend to tell this old minister?"
Changsun Wuji's voice sounded in the main hall, causing the originally noisy main hall to suddenly become quiet.
"After the meeting, Mr. Zhao will naturally know about it."
After hearing what Li Zhi said, Changsun Wuji once again closed his eyes slightly and fell silent.
"As the Prime Minister, I know some secrets of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it an exaggeration?" The voice was very unfamiliar. Yun Chu looked back at Wen Wenwen and whispered softly: "Lai Ji."
After Lai Ji finished speaking, the hall became lively again, and many high-ranking officials gave advice to the emperor. If it related to the secrets of the Tang Dynasty, they also had the right to know.
Soon, what was originally a court meeting to discuss the explosion matter turned into a court meeting to compete for status. Everyone believed that since they were already standing on the Golden Palace, the Tang Dynasty had no secrets for them.
At this moment, no one cared about the big explosion. They just wanted to know what kind of thing could wake up most of the people in Chang'an City.
It can be said that these people were successfully led into the ditch by Li Zhi.
At this point, Yun Chu took out the teapot and small tea bowl from his gentle sleeves, poured a bowl of tea, brought it to Liu Rengui's lips and said, "Moisten your throat."
Liu Rengui had already come out of his despairing state of mind. After drinking four or five cups of tea in one breath, he looked at Yun Chu and said, "It seems that I can't die."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Your life has never been as valuable as it is now. Once you understand the cause of the big explosion, your job will be completed.
To be honest, we can't do this kind of thing. It's better for us to grow cotton properly. From my point of view, only things that grow on the ground are the most reliable.
While you were away, the textile workshop had already produced a batch of military products. Yang Huaisu, the Minister of War, asked for a hundred sets, saying that he would go back and study them.
I rejected him and he even cursed me. Please reinstate your position immediately so that we can kill these shameless villains together."
The palace guard guarding Liu Rengui became increasingly pale. He thought that Liu Rengui was dead and had turned into a broken drum that anyone could hit. So he roughly pushed Liu Rengui's knees instead of the crook of his legs. This was also Do it for the officials present.
Unexpectedly, the prisoner kneeling in front of him was obviously going to be okay, but the junior officer in green robe next to the prisoner kept saying that he wanted to kill the Minister of War, and he said it in front of everyone, without any obstruction. .
What did you do today?
A prisoner who even the emperor had to protect, and a green-robed toad official who kept saying he wanted to kill the minister of war, could he be manipulated at will?
So, there was a thick sheepskin mat under Liu Rengui's knees, and he was holding a biscuit to cushion Liu Rengui's belly.
Of course, Yunchu was not afraid of Yang Huaisu, the minister of the Ministry of War, because he himself was not in the military. The only people who could control Yunchu were the officials. Since ancient times, the officials and the Ministry of War were two-way vehicles.
They despise each other, and they are also the two most violent departments fighting each other.
After a while, a eunuch came with a brand new official uniform and invited Liu Rengui to go to the side hall to bathe and change clothes, and then went to the hall to meet the king.
Wenrou yawned and said, "It's okay."
Yun Chu clicked his lips and said: "More than a hundred craftsmen are gone, and I don't know whether it is the master craftsmen or the Ministry of Industry who are receiving the pension."
He gently wiped away the tears from yawning and said calmly: "The person most likely to come forward is the Young Master."
"Why?"
"Because the emperor wants to hold this thing in his own hands."
Yun Chu nodded and smiled bitterly: "I am already very afraid of going to the Tang Dynasty to care for the dead.
A border soldier's death in battle is worse than a donkey, but I don't know if a craftsman's death would be worth more."
Wen Wen looked at Yun Chu strangely and said, "Where's the pension coming from? It would be great if I can pay you all of this month's salary."
Yunchu whispered: 'Why do I feel that this crime was caused by me?"
Gentle said: "If you always think like this, I will seriously consider whether to follow you or not."
Not long after, Liu Rengui's extremely suppressed crying could be heard in the hall. After crying, he just howled bitterly.
Then, a eunuch came out, flicked the fly whisk randomly, and announced that the meeting was over.
Yunchu put the wat board in his belt and prepared to go see his wife, but a eunuch asked him to stay, saying that the Yinggong wanted to see him.
Wen Wen gave Yun Chu a look that was asking for blessings and ran away.
Yun Chu stood alone in front of the main hall waiting for the Young Master. At this time, the main hall door opened, and the first person to come out was Li Zhi.
When Li Zhi saw Yunchu, he waved and said: "Come here, you have also seen the scene at Xianyang Bridge. Just tell me how this explosion is different from the one at Xianyang Bridge."
Yun Chu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the explosion site, the explosion at Xianyang Bridge is far inferior to the explosion at the Waste Stone Platform."
Li Zhi pinched his waist with both hands, nodded and said, "I think so too. There were even bricks and stones flying into the building last night."
Yun Chu wanted to speak, but Li Ji came over and said to Yun Chu: "Go to the back, is this the place for you to interrupt?"
Yunchu had no choice but to duck away obediently and follow a group of big guys, but he still stood side by side with Yang Huaisu, the Minister of War.
"I heard that you want to kill me?"
Yunchu didn't expect that people already knew about what happened in front of the palace gate.
Since he was asked about it, he had no choice but to say: "The minister has also been young, so he should know that no matter what young people see, they want to do it, which means they have a taste for it."
Yang Huaisu said with a half-smile: "When I was young, I only thought about beauties, and sometimes handsome men are not bad. You always think about me, isn't it a bit too much?
Later, let Quanzi go to your Yamen to help, wouldn't it be ten thousand times better for you to deal with him than to deal with me?"
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "Young Master wants to enter a textile workshop?"
Yang Huaisu sighed in admiration, took Yun Chu's hand affectionately and said, "I'm already old. There's no need to do anything. I won't be able to sit in this position for long. You young people should help each other.
We are all at the age where we can do things, and we are all at the age where we want to move up the ladder. It is serious to earn more credit and move up the official position, so that everyone can live a good life together with Meimei."
Being held by an old hooligan's hand, and having his son brought over for you to do whatever you want with him, Yun Chu realized that he actually liked this old hooligan who couldn't help but eat meat and vegetables.
"I heard that you went to the Xianyang Bridge scene. Tell me, how did those Tubo people die?"
Yun Chu deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Those who were killed by the explosion, tsk tsk, were more than three hundred warriors who could defeat thousands of armies on the battlefield. They were bombed so miserably that not a single intact body was found. Lu Dongzan's eldest son, Zan
Xiruo was pinned down by his subordinates. He was probably not dead at the time, but his head was chopped off by his subordinates who were cleaning up the scene. He was so dead that he could no longer die."
Yang Huaisu took a breath. As a minister of the Ministry of War and a general in charge of the right guard, how could he not understand the combat power of his own soldiers? Now that he heard Yun Chu's narration, he really found it incredible.
Li Zhi did not take a car, but walked to the imperial city surrounded by ministers.
Viewing the explosion scene during the day is completely different from viewing it at night.
Last night, because it was dark, I couldn't see very clearly. Now that the light is bright and the consequences of the explosion are completely exposed to people, these people who know what the explosion is for the first time are stunned.
It was only now that Yun Chu understood that the explosion last night affected not only the eunuch and the secretary, but also all the houses within a hundred steps of the eunuch. In a collapsed room of the eunuch, Yun Chu
At first, I even saw a huge animal head, which was supposed to be piled on the waste stone platform. Now, this huge stone weighing hundreds of kilograms fell in the eunuch's house.
Li Zhi pointed to the animal head and said: "It was originally an animal head in the small garden. When I was young, I climbed up and played on it. Unexpectedly, it was torn down and was blown up here."
Li Ji looked at the three-foot-deep hole on the ground with satisfaction and said to Liu Ren: "This is what I want. It doesn't matter if you blow up the waste stone platform now. I will use it to blow up city walls and enemy troops in the future. As long as you
After this matter is settled, I will personally write to Your Majesty to beg for your title."
Liu Rengui looked at the devastation everywhere, gritted his teeth and said, "It's incredibly powerful, but it's also a bit too dangerous."
Li Ji patted Liu Rengui on the shoulder and said, "If it's not dangerous, what do I want him to do? If you want to control a tiger, you must be prepared to suffer the tiger's backlash.
Don't stop, whatever manpower you want, if the young governor doesn't have it, I will draw it for you from the army.
Even if it is everything your Majesty has, I will definitely get it for you."
After Li Zhi listened to Li Ji's words, he also said to Liu Ren: "If you need anything, just tell me. I will give you permission."
Changsun Wuji said with a smile on the side: "If the Tang Dynasty could master such a sharp weapon, it wouldn't be a big deal to injure a hundred craftsmen. But if necessary, all the ministries in the court will definitely support it."
After Changsun Wuji spoke, all the ministers expressed their attitude in front of Li Zhi. They would definitely open the door to whatever is needed to study this thing.
The reason why these people said this was not entirely to agree with the emperor, but a consensus formed after seeing the horrific explosion scene.
If they cannot master such a terrifying thing, they will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating.
