What kind of weapon could have such power? They couldn't figure it out.
At this point, Zhao Jing no longer wanted to hide it from them.
The power of gunpowder was verified, and Zhao Jing's plan came to light.
He glanced at Shen Yanqing in the middle of the hall, and his whole aura changed, from being lazy to being domineering. Such a kingly aura made all the courtiers in the hall feel inspired.
Your Majesty, things seem to be different.
Since Zhao Jing ascended the throne, he has been suppressed by the Prime Minister's faction, and the royalist faction is weak. Zhao Jing has always adhered to the line of seeking progress while maintaining stability, and has never exposed his ambitions nakedly in front of everyone like now.
Prime Minister Liu below had his eyelids slightly closed, his fingers under his official robe tightened, and his scheming eyes flashed solemnly.
This gunpowder is probably Dayan's variable.
Just as he expected, Zhao Jing explained all the uses and power of gunpowder.
"Your Majesty is saying that this gunpowder packet can kill thousands of enemies. Will there be any casualties in our army?"
The ministers were all shocked by his words. Did the emperor really not sleep well last night and was confused?
A smile appeared at the corners of Zhao Jing's lips, and his aura gradually faded away. He lay back lazily and nodded lightly.
"Of course, there is no proof at the border."
After receiving the confirmation, there was a commotion in the hall, followed by cheers from the officials.
"God bless Dayan, God bless Dayan, I finally don't have to worry about Xixia attacking..."
A group of ministers with gray hair and beards had tears and runny noses, but no one laughed at them.
If there was no gunpowder, all the soldiers of Dayan would be wiped out now. How could it be like this? Not only was the crisis resolved, Xixia would no longer have an advantage in front of Dayan in the future, and even a small tree could shake the tree and be suppressed. .
All the ministers Zhong Wei wiped away tears. Although Zhao Jing had a smile on his face, he also felt sad that the crisis was over.
If it hadn't been for Miao Ya, maybe he would have been the first monarch of Yan to be subjugated.
Prime Minister Liu pursed his lips, stepped forward from his position, and stood directly under the dragon chair.
He looked at the people on the dragon chair and spoke in a deep voice.
"May I ask Your Majesty, where does this gunpowder come from?"
Since there is such a magical weapon, why has it never been used before? Otherwise, Xixia and other surrounding small countries would be so unbridled that even their prime ministers would be completely suppressed.
However, the fate of being suppressed is now irreversible. When the gunpowder incident spreads throughout the world, the emperor will be completely secure in his throne.
He wanted to know whose hands he had finally failed in after years of planning.
As soon as Prime Minister Liu's words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet, and all the officials stretched out their ears to listen to the people on the dragon throne.
Zhao Jing chuckled lightly, with joy in his eyes.
"It's my goddess of Dayan, Princess Rongning!"
"Goddess Dayan?"
"Princess Rongning!"
No one expected that these two titles would be merged together. No matter how noble Princess Rongning was, how could she be called a goddess?
Zhao Jing saw their doubts, and even Shen Yanqing, who was bowing his head, couldn't help but look at him questioningly.
The matter of the goddess was decided on a whim, and no one told it, not even Shen Yanqing knew about it.
Looking at the various looks around her, Shen Yanqing clenched her palms tightly. Such a title was too heavy for Miao Ya.
He was afraid that Miaoya would attract the covetousness of various factions in the future. With Jiang Miao's temperament, she only wanted to be safe and was unwilling to encounter danger at all.
Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
Zhao Jing saw it and touched her nose guiltily.
Jiang Miao is also his cousin, how could he let her be exposed to danger?
The purpose of this gunpowder was to make Jiang Miao famous, and to promote Shen Yanqing's official position to another level.
Therefore, the person who made gunpowder must be announced in front of others.
"Princess Rongning not only found the seeds of high-yielding crops and saved millions of victims in Dayan, but also had people develop medicine to cure the plague during the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. During the border snowstorm, Rongning donated clothes and medicine, and also asked her subordinates to Send food and grass so that the border officers and soldiers can survive the natural disaster safely, let alone this time, if Princess Rongning hadn’t made the gunpowder, I, the Yan Dynasty, would be in danger!"
"If she wasn't Dayan's goddess, how could she have saved Dayan in critical moments so many times!"
As soon as Zhao Jing said this, all the ministers fell into deep thought.
But no, it seems that Princess Rongning takes action every time there is a natural disaster in Dayan. She is like a fairy and can always find a solution.
It is precisely because of this that Dayan, which was in a precarious situation, managed to survive the storm tenaciously, and now it has ushered in a new turning point.
They believe that Dayan will become more powerful, and even dominating the world is not a luxury.
Even Prime Minister Liu below was confused, but he was not happy, but regretful.
If he had been more vigilant and helped Liu Ruyan get rid of Jiang Miao, Dayan would have fallen into his hands long ago. How could he have watched Zhao Jing rise with the assistance of Shen Yanqing and his wife?
But it's too late to say this now.
The rise of Dayan is irreversible.
The news about the gunpowder bag quickly spread throughout the capital, and the name of Goddess Jiang Miao Dayan was spread so loudly that the threshold of the Shen family was almost leveled.
Rewards from the palace were sent to the Shen family like water, and Shen Yanqing was directly promoted from the fifth rank of minister to the second rank of minister. He was promoted to three ranks in a row, which made the Shen family even better.
In addition to Shen Yanqing, Guo Zhao, who led the soldiers to a great victory over Xixia, was also promoted from Jiang Zhe's deputy general to a fourth-rank general. For a time, Guo Zhao also appeared in front of others for the first time.
"This Guo Zhao is extremely capable, courageous and knowledgeable. Why have I never heard of him before?"
You must know that during the reign of the late emperor, the Yan Dynasty valued civil servants over military officers. Except for Jiang Zhe, there was no general in the court who could withstand the Xixia attack.
His appearance is a dawn for Xixia, and now Zhao Jing needs someone who can bravely fight the enemy in the front.
Therefore, for a while, Guo Zhao became the new rich man in the capital and the favorite in the eyes of everyone.
He hasn't even returned to Beijing yet, but many people from Guo's mother came to visit him, some testing him, but most of them just wanted to make good friends.
In particular, Guo Zhaoying was young and talented but had no wife or children. Even if he had married one before, it would not matter. There were many noble girls from aristocratic families who were willing to marry him.
Guo's mother was getting old and had little energy to deal with people. In addition, she already had a candidate for her daughter-in-law, so she could only refuse the matchmakers who came to her.
Shen Yingxue would come to Guo's house every day after closing the shop. Guo's mother only had a little maid to serve her. She was afraid that she might be inconsiderate, so she would always buy some food and clothing and come to visit often.
Many people gathered around the door of Guo's house, all wanting to inquire about the news. When they saw Shen Yingxue coming, everyone looked over.
"Isn't this Shen Shangshu's sister? Why is she here?"
The Shen family is also in the limelight now, and Shen Yingxue's worth has also increased. Several matchmakers didn't see Guo's mother, so they took up the idea of Shen Yingxue again.
