Chapter 37 I, Wang Wenyan, declares that the prince is about to die
Seeing Liu Yijing quoting words out of context, and Yang Lian's momentum as if he had won a victory over a rooster, the British Duke Zhang Weixian was a little angry. He wanted to not be afraid of what these civil servants said behind their backs, and now stand up and speak out the original words.
"Mr. British, let's not join in the fun. These civil servants are so vain, and we can't defeat them."
Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, directly signaled the British Duke to withdraw together. Of course, he did not want to ruin the atmosphere.
The support of these people is indispensable for the subsequent plans.
Liu Yijing saw Zhu Chunchen blocking what Zhang Weixian was saying, and knew that the British father-in-law had some opinions, so he hurriedly put it down.
"Everyone, His Majesty still needs to rest, so let's not disturb him by making too much noise. You all know how to do it!"
Zuo Guangdou also saw the situation and said: "As long as there are no traitors, His Majesty's health will definitely get better. Please do your duty, keep your eyes open and work hard!"
These words are all contrived. They all know that Taichang will not live long, and now they say that it will be fine without a traitor. When Taichang dies, everyone will do whatever it takes to find a traitor from the harem.
Once the traitor is captured, those who shield the traitor and are weak in the struggle inside and outside the court can also be captured in the next step.
He glanced at Fang Congzhe, the first assistant. As a civil servant, this guy did a lot of work for Wanli. When the overall situation changed, the memorial to impeach him would be buried~
Before the British public got completely angry, the Donglin Party took the lead in telling everyone to disperse. Anyway, public opinion favorable to their plan had spread.
Wang Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, did not go home, but went directly to the Ministry of Industry and continued to work overtime.
He also specially asked the book office to ask everyone not to continue working in the Ministry of Works today, but to go back early so that they can work more energetically tomorrow.
It wasn't until the ministers and ministers went home that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Wang, how can you relax at this time?"
"Ah!?"
A man from the Ministry of Industry who looked like a scholar came in without wearing official robes. He waved an exquisite fan in his hand and smiled at him with piercing eyes.
Wang Zuo recognized him and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Wang, don't walk in silently and suddenly start to scare people. I'm not as courageous as you."
"Oh? You have to be brave even if you don't have the guts at this time. Does Mr. Wang want to become an official now, be chased for the stolen goods next year, and be exiled to Yunnan and Guizhou the year after that?" Wang Wenyan slowed down when he said this, and his threatening tone was undisguised.<
/p>
Wang Zuo was a Jinshi-born minister of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, while Wang Wenyan was just a civil servant and a member of Wang An's family.
However, the former respects the latter very much and does not get angry at all even if he is threatened.
"My little evidence of guilt, many people are more serious than me..."
"However, the Chu Party is finished. The Yushi Yanguan sees that you have no backing, and the evidence of your crime is like a candle in the dark night. You are weak, pitiful and helpless~"
"Okay, okay, the old Chu Party was defeated by Mr. Wang. Now I can only join you, and thank you for your inclusion and forgiveness. I have already recorded what you asked for before."
Wang Wenyan chuckled, of course he knew that Wang Zuo did not dare to disobey them, and his behavior just now was just a small game, just to get more benefits.
If he really fell out, he would not run back to the Ministry of Industry and let others go home. He would be waiting for me here alone.
"Then take it out and have a look~"
Wang Zuo took out a booklet: "This is the situation of all weapons dispatched from various warehouses in the capital in the past two months by the Ministry of Industry."
"I only look at the mobilization situation around the capital, especially the mobilization of weapons and equipment inside the palace in the past 20 days."
"Okay... there were almost no weapons transferred to the palace a month ago, but since August, 100 sets of armor, 50 firecrackers of various types, and three hundred kilograms of gunpowder have been transferred..."
Wang Wenyan looked at the data in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth a little bit: "There are armors and fire guns. Does this mean that someone is using the prince's hand to cause chaos?"
"Well... it's possible, but the number is really not that much. When they were transferred from the Ministry of Works, they were all in the name of protecting the palace."
"It's okay. Anyway, there is a bill, which is enough evidence that someone wants to commit murder."
Wang Wenyan thought he had found strong evidence, and finally outlined the final step of the palace transfer plan in his mind.
The prince died of assassination, death by fire or explosives~
Wang Wenyan was overjoyed and continued to look through the accounts of the Ministry of Industry, but his expression suddenly turned serious.
"Yu Ma Jian transferred 500 jins of gunpowder this month, and Nanhaizi transferred 3,000 jins. Is this a daily situation?"
"A few hundred pounds is normal, but a thousand pounds is obviously much."
Wang Wenyan's mind was spinning rapidly. He felt that Nanhaizi had prepared too much gunpowder today, so he continued to flip through it until the last page, which was the latest page.
"The armies in Tongzhou allocate weapons and gunpowder... 20,000 catties of gunpowder for the Baoding army, 20,000 catties of gunpowder for the Liao and Zhejiang troops, 5,000 catties of gunpowder for the Shizhu army, and 5,000 catties for the Youyang army...
That’s a lot!?”
Wang Zuo waved his hand this time: "It's not much. These soldiers and horses plan to aid the Liao Dynasty. When the war comes, these gunpowder will only be enough for one day."
"One day's dosage?" Wang Wenyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "So Nanhaizi prepared 3,000 kilograms of gunpowder, which is enough for half a day of intense fighting?"
"That's right."
"Nanhaizi Jingjun... except for hunting, there is no need for gunpowder at all. The first emperor Wanli died and Emperor Taichang was seriously ill. Where is the need for hunting?"
Wang Wenyan's eyes were very proud, and he had seen through the prince's little tricks.
From this point of view, the prince saved some armor, muskets, gunpowder, and borrowed Huang Kezuan's cannon for deterrence and self-protection. Then he reached out to involve military power. The Royal Horse Prison is on the one hand, and the real reliance is the Nanhai Zijing Army! p>
"Nanhai Zi Jingjun, right? It is located in the southwest outside the capital, dozens of miles away from the palace. If support is needed, it will definitely enter the city from the southwest of the capital~"
When Wang Wenyan said this, he squinted at Wang Zuo, Minister of Industry, and felt a chill in his heart.
"Master Wang, if I remember correctly, as long as you enter the city from the southwest, you will be close to the Wang Gong Factory of the Ministry of Industry, right?"
"Uh... Indeed. If you take Fuchengmen, Xibianmen, or Xuanwumen, you will be close to the Wang Gong Factory of our Ministry of Industry."
His expression suddenly became ferocious: "Wang Gong's factory has a lot of gunpowder stored, right?"
"This... Lao Guxin has been in office for less than a year. I haven't carefully counted it, but it is at least more than one million kilograms of gunpowder."
Wang Zuo gave a minimum quantity, but this quantity was already very large. The Wang Gong factory was within the city wall, and you would pass by it when entering the city from the southwest. He was wondering if Wang Wenyan wanted the gunpowder from the Ministry of Works to be used as a bomb to stop him.
Nanhaizi Jingjun enters the city?
Wang Wenyan was far crazier and had no bottom line than he thought: "Making a bomb? No, no, no~
Directly bombed the Wang Gong Factory, millions of kilograms of gunpowder exploded, and if the Nanhai Zijing Army came to support, they would all be blown up~
Your accounts will also be blown up together, and there will also be fires caused by gunpowder after the Wang Gong Factory explosion, and the inferior products with poor quality over the years will also be destroyed. Wouldn't it be nice to destroy the evidence of crime once and for all?"
