Chapter 771: The Chicken That Warns the Monkey (Part 1)
"formula?"
Zhang Liang's eyes flashed with confusion, and he covered his face in confusion for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He hurriedly took out the "prescription" from his arms, and a waiter took it and respectfully presented it to him.
His Majesty Li Er.
The pretender Yuan Heng got this "recipe" and Zhang Liang studied it carefully. Although it looked more like a "prescription", he also wondered why Fang Jun paid so much attention to a prescription. He kept it close to his chest.
Here, I plan to wait until I have free time and ask a doctor to see if there is anything fishy about it.
Although he presented the "recipe" at this time, he was at a loss: Could it be that this is actually a recipe for a magical elixir that even His Majesty is eager to get? If I had known this, I should have copied it...
"Hiss--" The severe pain on his face made Zhang Liang even have the veins on his forehead burst out. He covered his face and licked several missing gums with his tongue. He was sweating profusely from the pain and couldn't help but squat on the ground and stare.
Facing Fang Jun behind him, his serious resentment was unconcealed, like a poisonous tongue that chooses people to eat!
If I don’t avenge this revenge, I, Zhang Liang, swear not to be a human being!
Young man from the Fang family, from today onwards, we will fight to the death!
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang turned around in a circle on the smooth ground, faced His Majesty Li Er, and kowtowed with a loud bang.
"Your Majesty, please serve as the leader for me, woo woo woo..."
Whining and crying, crying blood!
When he thought about it, Fang Jun actually dared to humiliate himself like this in front of His Majesty. He simply didn't take the emperor's majesty into consideration! Even if your father is Fang Xuanling, even if he is the future emperor's son-in-law, your Majesty will never be so presumptuous.
No forgiveness!
Furthermore, I am also a prince of the dynasty. Following His Majesty's expeditions to the north and south, there is no credit but hard work. Your Fang Jun beat me like this, and you only slap me in the face... If you don't like anyone in the whole court, I will do it.
What kind of decency does it have to be full of old fists? Even for the sake of the court's discipline and the emperor's face, Fang Jun should be severely punished!
Zhang Liang cried for a while. He was not pretending. His face was in burning pain. The whole face seemed not to be his. When he opened his mouth, blood started to flow from his gums. It hurt like hell! The most important thing was that he was angry! Tangtang
The Duke was slapped like a street gangster, no one could bear this humiliation!
His eyes were filled with tears, but after suffering for a long time, his own crying could not be heard in the whole hall, and no sound came out. Zhang Liang was worried in his heart. He secretly looked up and saw that Li Er's face was covered with frost.
He was staring at him coldly.
"Uh..." Zhang Liang was so frightened that he heard the cry. He didn't know why His Majesty looked like this. Shouldn't he sympathize with the minister and give Fang Jun a warning?
His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Liang, whose face looked like a pig's head. Not only did he not have any sympathy in his heart, but even the feeling of distress that had just surged up gradually dissipated.
"Let me ask you," His Majesty Li Er raised the "formula" in his hand and suppressed his anger: "Is this the new firearm formula you kidnapped from the weapons supervisory workshop?"
Zhang Liang said quickly: "It seems (is)..."
"Fart!" His Majesty Li Er was furious. He ordered his servant to hand over this "recipe" to Fang Jun and asked: "Take a look, is it the recipe that was kidnapped by thieves in the weapons prison?"
Fang Jun took it from the hand of the chamberlain and took a closer look. He was immediately "shocked" and said quickly: "Absolutely not! That formula was written by Wei Chen himself. At that time, many guards and craftsmen involved in the development were
At the scene, after Wei Chen finished writing, he put it in a nanmu brocade box and planned to present it to His Majesty when he entered the palace. How could he write it on the paper so hastily and hastily? If it was accidentally lost, how many heads did Wei Chen have?
Is it enough for His Majesty to cut?"
Then, he turned to the confused Zhang Liang, pointed his halberd and said angrily: "As an important minister in the court, you actually covet the formula of gunpowder. What is your intention? Where is the real formula now, why don't you get it quickly?
"
His Majesty Li Er looked at Zhang Liang again, pursed his lips tightly, his eyes began to flicker, and there was a faint sign of an explosion.
Naturally, he would not believe Fang Jun's words, so he concluded that this formula must have been hidden by Zhang Liang. But Fang Jun's words were too perfect, reasonable, and had no loopholes. In short, there was nothing wrong with it!
On the other hand, Zhang Liang first sent troops into the capital, raided the imperial workshops, and killed the guards. Each of them was a crime of treason! Although His Majesty Li Er was willing to believe that Zhang Liang was just seeking revenge as he said, his suspicions seemed to
Like weeds, growing like crazy!
Since you can send troops to Beijing, why can't you hide the gunpowder formula?
Could it be that this person is really dissatisfied and has some agenda?
Thinking back to the recent undercurrents in the DPRK caused by the severe drought in Guanzhong, those leftover ministers from the previous dynasty have established old ministries and secretly communicated with each other.
In his mind, he wanted to assassinate the king and turn the whole world upside down overnight!
Is it possible that... Zhang Liang is also involved?
Zhang Liang has followed His Majesty Li Er for many years and knows his character very well. When he saw this expression, he shuddered and screamed secretly!
He quickly knelt down and took two steps, climbed to the front of His Majesty Li Er, and shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged..."
"Shut up!"
His Majesty Li Er stared at Zhang Liang fiercely, his mind was spinning, and he said coldly: "As a general, you failed to observe military discipline and sent troops to the capital privately; even though you were the minister of the Ministry of Industry, you brazenly ordered the soldiers to attack and kill your colleagues! Read this.
You have been in the army for many years and have made great contributions to the country. I also miss my old friendship. I will relinquish all responsibilities and go back to my home to think about the past behind closed doors. Without my will, you are not allowed to have contact with any outsiders!"
Although the punishment was severe, some mercy was left.
If one of his charges was to include "coveting a powerful military weapon", that would be called ruthlessness. What's the matter, are you, Zhang Liang, planning to do something evil?
That is the serious crime of having the intention of "regicide and treason", killing all the men in the family, and making the women into slaves!
Even so, it was enough to make Zhang Liang's expression change drastically. Do you want to put me under house arrest in your own home?
He quickly begged for mercy and said: "Your Majesty, I was wronged... I really don't know the formula, and this is what my men kidnapped from the workshop!..." After saying so many words, the wound in his mouth was affected, and blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
When he fell down, his condition was extremely miserable.
Although His Majesty Li Er was furious, seeing the miserable situation of the deployment that had followed him for many years, he could not help but soften his heart, but he had to harden his heart.
He could ignore sending troops to the capital, he could ignore attacking and killing the guards of the Ministry of Industry, and he could ignore seeking revenge on Fang Jun, but he could not ignore Zhang Liang's hidden gunpowder formula! This would touch his life and threaten the Li and Tang royal family.
The huge hidden danger in the world!
His Majesty Li Er had a cold face and waved his hand impatiently: "Li Junxian, send Duke Yun back home quickly!"
"promise!"
Li Junxian accepted the order. He was a smart man, and he also understood the second half of what His Majesty Li Er had not yet said: keeping an eye on Zhang Liang for twelve hours a day, and absolutely not allowing him the opportunity to come into contact with outsiders, and give him the gunpowder formula.
Opportunity to spread the word!
Zhang Liang still wanted to defend himself, but Li Junxian held him back and sent him away while shouting in vain.
Fang Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I knew that His Majesty Li Er would not really do anything to Zhang Liang, but this result was not bad. Zhang Liang was closely monitored and naturally had no chance to cause trouble or conspiracy. His life was considered safe for the time being.
However, Fang Jun is not a kind-hearted person. Since there is a deep hatred, he must eradicate the roots and fight to the death!
If Zhang Liang is not killed, he might be bitten by this vicious guy at some point, with a fatal blow, and it will be too late to cry at that time!
Li Junxian carried Zhang Liang away crying all the way, and the Dragon Palace became quiet.
Fang Jun didn't dare to move, he knew that His Majesty Li Er must have some instructions.
Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er was silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "This kind of artifact has the power to destroy the heaven and the earth. It must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be leaked at all. I plan to set up a yamen that specializes in the research and development and manufacture of this thunder.
One thing does not bother two masters. Since it was developed by you, you should be responsible for it."
Fang Jun was startled and quickly shook his head like a rattle: "Absolutely not! How can a humble minister be so virtuous and capable as to be able to take on such an important task? Your Majesty, please find an experienced person who can plan the country before entrusting you with the policy."
!”
Are you kidding me? If nothing unexpected happens, this newly established yamen will be directly under the control of His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er will control every slightest change under his nose. Isn’t there no freedom at all?
