Zhao Zhan really hoped that someone would come out to help him at this time, even if it was to attack him. But no, there was nothing. All he could hear was his own thumping heartbeat.
He didn't understand, what happened to the country? Couldn't His Highness the Crown Prince be impeached?
Let’s talk about this person. When you first arrive in a strange place, try not to be in the limelight, as you might offend someone who shouldn’t be offended.
Zhao Zhan has been transferring posts in the state capital since the first year of the Qing Dynasty. Because he had full experience, he transferred to the capital at the beginning of this year.
At this time, the East Palace Guards had a vacancy for teaching. After the general teaching was decided, the sub-teaching became useless, so there were not many people competing for it, so it was his turn.
Most of the local posts were in Xiazhou. When he first arrived in the capital, he heard a lot of rumors about the prince, and he was doubtful. When His Highness the prince asked him to copy the responsibilities of the East Palace, he felt that his opportunity had come...
A person who had no idea what kind of compromises the East Palace Guards were established under, actually made such reckless remarks.
The results can be imagined.
Most of the people in the court knew what the East Palace Guards was about.
That was from an establishment of 20,000 to 30,000, which His Royal Highness the Crown Prince voluntarily reduced to a six rate of 11. In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to set up Civil Service Officers in the army, who were in charge of the entire escort team in addition to training and wartime.
This is already the case, what else do you want?
Besides, everyone knows that this is the Prince's personal army, which is equivalent to the Imperial City Secretary's personal subordinates... Can you try to put a civilian official in the Imperial City Division?
Besides, the so-called escort operation is to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he is in danger. Can you let the civilian officials take command at that time? What is the civilian official's job?
A stupid person who was scolded by the prince deserved it.
No one in the entire Zichen Palace sympathized with Zhao Zhan.
so……
Zhao Zhen felt that he had been waiting for a long time. He was waiting for these courtiers to start spitting on him in a large area because of Xi'er's self-defense statement.
But it's strange that after waiting for so long, no one said anything. What's going on?
Zhao Zhen had closed his eyes just now, preparing to endure it. Now he opened his eyes... the scene was very strange.
Everyone, no one was looking at him, was either closing their eyes and concentrating, or peeping at Zhao Zhan. This time... what happened?
"Mr. Pang, what should we do about this matter?"
"The dynasty will not kill scholar-officials...the dynasty will not kill those who speak out for reasons...this is the law of the ancestors..."
This...Zhao Zhan once again shocked people. The officials just asked the husband how he settled the self-defense statement against His Highness the Crown Prince. What are you shouting about?
Who killed you? Who wants to kill the person who spoke out because of the incident?
This kind of virtue can be regarded as a rare thing among scholars. Just as His Royal Highness the Prince said in his self-defense letter, he is not firm in his stance, not calm when encountering difficulties, and is a man who can change his mind at any time...
"Your Majesty, let's go to Guangnan."
With Pang Ji's words, it means that this matter has come to an end, or has come to an end.
However, just yet, the memorandum on the internal management and responsibilities of the East Palace Guard written by Zhao Xi was passed in the court in such a confused manner.
Because no one wants to go out, let alone Guangnan, that place... I can only laugh.
…
Zhao Xi is not completely ready yet, and it is not a very urgent matter. It is just that he has not been able to make the close combat weapon for the escort team that he designed.
Zhao Xi didn't dare to think about the saber at all. He just wanted to get out the saber. To be honest, he thought that thing was the easiest to use.
But Zhao Xi overestimated the level of steelmaking at this time. Thinking back to the time when all the people were making steel... well, that was deceptive. But in later generations, there were indeed steel mills everywhere.
Unexpectedly, this general, who represents the advanced technology of the country, could not make a qualified military assassin... It can't be said that Zhao Xi didn't want to be a hand sprayer, with a thousand guns,
What he needs is a technology that can be promoted on a large scale.
Zhao Xi tried so hard and played tricks with Xianggong Pang, so he managed to win over several master craftsmen from the supervisor, and the result was this level.
As for the man who made his hand spray, he was a coppersmith and had no involvement in this matter. However, Zhao Xi had already made the old man the general responsible person of the entire camp workshop.
No one thinks highly of these people, and no one thinks highly of these positions. They are not supervisor-level positions. They have the appearance of a prince, and the court is not stingy.
This is because the status of craftsmen in this dynasty has improved a lot. In the early years, they were all considered to be miraculous and skillful.
Zhao Xi came to the workshop again for who knows how many times.
"Jiang Cui, today..."
Huh? Why is there a scribe in this workshop? Oh, it’s teaching, that Su Song.
"Song has met His Highness."
"Why did Zirong come?"
Zhao Xi was a little strange. He taught him well and did not recite the regulations so that he could deal with Qiu Ba easily in the future. Why did this scribe remember to come to this place...
"I heard that His Highness is in charge of the work in the workshop. He has always been fond of craftsmen's skills, so he came here to watch it."
Like crafts? This is the first time Zhao Xi has seen such a scribe in this era. He has not seen Shen Kuo who wrote "Mengxi Bi Tan", but he still knows about him.
"How does Zirong view this matter?"
"Back to Your Highness, I have observed over the past few days that the master craftsman in the workshop has exquisite craftsmanship. The military thorns he forged are as sharp as swords and have the weight of maces. They are excellent weapons."
Okay, this... Brother, this is not a court, this is in private. As for being so cautious? A bunch of words are all compliments, why can't you say something useful?
Huh? No, it seems to mean why I am not satisfied?
"Zirong, do you think this is acceptable?"
"It's not just okay, it's actually excellent."
Sure enough, Zhao Xi really couldn't explain the reason.
The army spurs were too familiar to him, but when he started using them, he knew the weight was wrong when they were made in the workshop. He also tried them, but they were too brittle and not tough enough.
"Zhongzheng, bring me your trump card..."
Several times, Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian both understood what His Highness was going to do. One of them had a trump card, the other had a military assassin...
"Ding Dong..."
When the seventeen-eighth disciples were exhausted, the two of them slashed at each other, and the military thorn was broken in an instant.
"Your Highness, the mace is a heavy weapon, and heavy smashing is used as an attack method. The military thorn can stab, cut, pick, and smash. Both swords and maces can be used. It cannot be used as a short attack as long as a mace."
Well, Su Song did see the advantages of military assassination, but...how should I put it?
"It's too fragile. I expect this collision to continue."
He couldn't explain clearly. It wasn't because of the current language limitations, but because Zhao Xi couldn't explain the familiar feeling.
"Your Highness, when it comes to brittleness, it's probably not iron. It might be possible to add some other materials."
That's right... At this time, Zhao Xi thought of a concept, which seemed to be about the carbon content ratio of pig iron and steel. Is it either steelmaking or adding carbon to ironmaking? The question is, what is carbon? How to add it?
If you don’t understand, don’t be afraid, you can give it a try.
"Jiang Cui, please crush the coke and try adding some to the whole forging process."
However, this Su Song is the first person Zhao Xi has discovered who has divergent thinking.
