Wen Songzhi almost burst into tears after reading it. Holding the letter, he cried silently and suppressed tears for a long time.
Finally he stood up, wiped away his tears, stuffed the letter into his arms, put it away close to his body, and looked at the drawings again.
There were several positions marked on the drawing, about five or six, including two in the Qianqing Palace, and several palace gates, all of which were equipped with explosives.
However, after the explosives were placed, they did not collude with anyone to detonate them, but other methods were used.
If they are not detonated, the explosives will get soaked in water and slowly become ineffective, so there is no need to dispose of them.
If you must handle it, be careful as improper handling may cause an explosion.
Wen Songzhi looked carefully and found that several locations were really in the water.
"Brother and Mingzhu are really thoughtful." Wen Songzhi took the drawings and rode into the palace, all the way to Qianqing Palace, and then handed the drawings to the emperor.
The emperor was fidgeting anxiously, and he didn't stop until the guards came to report that Song Zhi had entered the palace.
The emperor looked at the drawing and broke into a cold sweat. After reading it, he shouted: "Come here, hurry up and convene the Ministry of Industry to discuss the matter."
He wanted people from the Ministry of Industry to dig out or destroy the explosives according to this drawing.
Seeing his anxious look, Wen Songzhi advised: "Your Majesty, why are you so anxious? King Yan said that if you don't touch them, they won't explode. The explosion must be detonated by an external force, and if the external force exceeds a certain time, If you don't detonate it, the explosives will get soaked with water and won't explode again, so why should you worry?"
The emperor snorted: "I don't believe his lies."
Wen Songzhi said unhappily: "Your Majesty asked me to be the intermediary, isn't it just to ensure safety? Since I am still here, what will happen to accidents? If there is an explosion, doesn't it mean that King Yan wants to put me to death? If King Yan said there would be no explosion, and if it exploded somewhere, then I would be willing to accept the punishment and die."
Wen Songzhi knelt on the ground, his back straight. He was no longer the carefree young man he was before.
The emperor looked at him for a long time and nodded, "What you said makes sense."
He studied the drawing carefully and said, "That's true."
Xiao Xian's drawings are very detailed. Even people who don't understand architecture or in this field can clearly see the location and the situation of the explosives, because they are indeed soaked in water.
The emperor thought that Wen Songzhi was still there and Xiao Xian would not kill Wen Songzhi, so he believed it for now.
But after all, there is still a shadow in my heart, fearing that the Qianqing Palace will explode at some point.
He also doubted how many people Xiao Xian had placed in the palace, and he actually planted the explosives without anyone noticing. If that was the case, how could he find them out?
In fact, what he didn't know was that Xiao Xian sometimes deceived people, and his deception was very clever. It was just a bluff to scare him.
He just asked people to install explosives at several remote palace gates, and they were not installed to kill people, but just to deter the emperor. So how could the explosives in Qianqing Palace be so easy to install?
Even if he had someone in the palace, he would not be able to do this blatantly. Moreover, the emperor would investigate the location where the water had touched. If he adhered to the principle of killing a thousand by mistake and not letting one go, then his people would also be hit. Lose.
