After hearing what King Qi said, Emperor Chu nodded and said: "Well, what you said makes sense. If you are interested, go and investigate. The queen is the mother of a country, and there is no room for mistakes in the birthday banquet.
"
Xu Qing, who was standing aside, frowned displeased. If this guy likes to find things for himself, why should he find things for him to do?
At this time, King Qi turned around and looked at Xu Qing and said, "What do you think of Xu County Bo?"
What do you think? The emperor has already spoken, but what do you think is still useful?
Xu Qing had no choice but to cup his hands and say, "I admire your highness's filial piety. Please, your highness."
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing, who was frowning slightly, and then at King Qi, who was smiling. At this moment, Xiao Ye suddenly felt that King Qi had beaten him too lightly...
Xu Qing and King Qi walked out of the palace and headed towards the Royal Garden. King Qi looked at Xu Qing and said, "How is Uncle Anding's illness?"
Xu Qing was stunned: "Sickness? What disease?"
The blue veins on King Qi's forehead protruded, but he still suppressed his composure and said calmly: "A few days ago, the king sent an invitation to Uncle Anding. Uncle Anding was sick and said it was inconvenient to come."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Xu Qing came to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, I'd like to thank you for your concern. My illness has improved a lot."
King Qi nodded and said: "Uncle An Ding is the pillar of our country, Da Chu. You must pay attention to your health in the future."
"In the future?" Xu Qing looked a little weird after thinking about it, but still said: "Um...in the future, I will pay attention to it in the future."
If you pay attention in the future, you will have to pay attention too many times!
King Qi smiled and said: "How about Uncle Anding telling me how the royal garden is laid out? What should we pay attention to? I can also check with Uncle Anding separately, so that we can get there faster."
Xu Qing glanced at King Qi's newly healed right leg and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, there are hundreds of fireworks arranged in this imperial garden, most of which are placed near the water. In this way, even if an emergency occurs,
, For example, if there is an error in filling the gunpowder in the fireworks, causing water leakage, the water in the lotus pond can be immediately rescued, and it will not cause any trouble to the empress’ birthday party.”
King Qi nodded when he heard this and said: "So it turns out that he is worthy of being the uncle of Anding County. He can take charge of the huge Guoshang Yuan at such a young age. It turns out that Uncle Anding is so attentive to every detail."
Xu Qing smiled and said nothing. Why was it built by the water? Isn't it afraid of losing your father's house...
King Qi continued: "Then, how should these fireworks be checked to ensure they are intact? Uncle Anding will have to teach me."
In order to be lazy, Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "There are still patrol soldiers in the imperial garden. Just call them over and tell them. Your Highness is a rich man, so you don't have to do it yourself. And with the number of patrol soldiers
, after testing, the speed is definitely much faster than His Highness and me."
However, King Qi shook his head and said: "What Mr. Anding said is wrong. How could the Queen's birthday be so disrespectful? The fireworks of this birthday banquet are the most important part of the banquet. How could it be so careless?
Leave it to the soldiers to complete it? If this spreads out, won't others accuse me of being unfilial?"
"Besides, even if others won't criticize me, as the eldest son of my father, I should still fulfill my filial piety. Such an important matter should be left to a rough-and-tumble soldier.
I really feel uneasy, so I have to work hard for Uncle An Ding to check with me to see if there are any errors in the fireworks. Only in this way can I feel at ease."
Xu Qing wanted to beat King Qi even more.
Are you pretending to be a dutiful son now? Are you still feeling uneasy?
It is no exaggeration to say that soldiers are much more reliable than you. Do you think so?
However, Xu Qing is not Xiao Ye after all, so he cannot directly slap King Qi twice to wake him up.
Therefore, Xu Qing could only tell the truth: "The inside of the fireworks is filled with black gunpowder. When the banquet is over, a waiter will light the fuse and release the fireworks. Fuzes that require fire are most afraid of water, and fireworks are near water."
Cloth is the most susceptible to moisture, so the fuse has been protected in advance. Your Highness only needs to observe that the fuse remains dry."
"If some fuses really become wet due to water contact, there will still be some time before the fireworks are set off at the end of the banquet. There will be enough time to bring up the backup fireworks not far from the palace."
"In this way, I understand." Having said this, King Qi pointed in one direction and said: "Bo Anding will start monitoring from there. How about I start monitoring from another place?"
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please."
Xu Qing was very dissatisfied with this kind of temporary overtime work. What was even more annoying was that it was not the boss who proposed it, but King Qi.
Nothing happens without a reason. King Qi must have done this for a purpose.
But to what purpose?
Framing the blame? Deliberately wet the fuse and then concealed it so that the fireworks could not be set off? In the end, it is the responsibility of the National Commercial Court? Put all the blame on yourself? Let yourself be punished?
After all, I had refuted his reputation more than a dozen times, and every time I sent an invitation, I excused myself by claiming that I was ill.
If King Qi really dares to do this, then King Qi is a hopeless idiot. If he does this at the Queen's birthday banquet, it will bring shame to the entire Chu country. The Queen's birthday banquet can be so flawed.
, how can you not be laughed at by envoys from other countries?
Moreover, the State Council is only responsible for the installation but not the ignition. The work of setting off fireworks is carried out by people in the palace.
After the fireworks were installed, Emperor Chu personally sent someone to check and accept them. From the moment the acceptance was completed, there was actually no relationship between the Guoshang Academy and these fireworks. Even if something went wrong later, the Guoshang Academy would not be framed at all.
Come up on the head.
At most, the person responsible for the inspection is guilty of being careless.
However, given that King Qi has always had an extremely stable IQ, this possibility is not impossible, but if he really tries to commit suicide like this, he will be unlucky in the end.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing shook his head and casually checked out the many fireworks arranged by the Guoshang Academy. It was none of his business and it was not his fault. If something went wrong, it was not his fault. Let him do it.
In the brightly lit place, King Qi, who seemed to be carefully monitoring the fireworks, was always paying attention to Xu Qing's movements. When Xu Qing got closer and closer to the direction he was pointing, a smile of success appeared on his face.
…
The deeper Xu Qing walked, the more he felt something was wrong. The lights in the Imperial Garden should be brightly lit today, but why were so many lights extinguished here? It immediately seemed dim, and why was there no patrolling soldier to light it?
King Qi won't be ambushing an assassin or something, right?
This idea was quickly dismissed by Xu Qing. There were shadow guards who personally controlled the safety of the palace, and assassins did not exist.
At this moment, a female voice with a hint of resentment suddenly came into Xu Qing's ears: "Uncle Anding~~"
Like resentment, admiration, weeping, complaining.
Xu Qing's body suddenly stiffened, and his heart trembled. The story of running into a ghost in the Forbidden City in the middle of the night in his previous life appeared in his mind...
Being blown by the breeze again, I was immediately immersed in the scene!
If I had known earlier, I would have learned the skill of listening and arguing with my wife in advance.
Feudal superstition is unbelievable. Cows, ghosts, and snake gods are all paper tigers, but I have fucking traveled through time! Should I believe this thing? Can anyone give me an accurate answer?
At this moment, another voice came: "Uncle Anding..."
