My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 348

  Chapter 348 The minister has a word and doesn't know whether to say it or not

  When Zhu Di and others rushed to Shangyuan County.

  The county magistrate had a miserable look on his face.

   This county magistrate was originally just the head of a county, but Shangyuan county magistrate committed a crime, and the county magistrate was also forced to resign, so he directly replaced him.

   These days, he is almost busy with his farm work, who knows... disaster is coming.

He bowed to Zhu Di, trembling, and said with sincerity: "The explosion took place in an uninhabited area, a land leased by a group of people called the Thirteen Taibao. It was very powerful... The huts of many farmers hundreds of meters away collapsed a lot, in addition... a fire was caused... many people were injured..."

"Fortunately, the neighborhood has been emptied of people a long time ago, and the troublemakers...seem to have been on guard, so...no one was killed. The farmers have turned away many perpetrators to the county government. The officials were supposed to try, but I heard that they are people from the Qixia Army Workshop, and they feel that the matter is not simple, so they are only temporarily detained, and we must first ask the reason."

  His organization is still clear, and he finally let out a long breath when he heard that no one died.

  Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: "Thirteen Taibao?"

  Zhang Anshi has gradually calmed down. In fact, he is really afraid of accidents. Now that there are too many things in charge, he will be responsible for whatever happens.

  The saying that with great power comes great responsibility, this is no joke.

  However, there are still people who think that Zhang Anshi is cold-blooded and shirks responsibility when things happen.

God is pitiful, there are tens of thousands of Jinyiwei, thousands of model camps, and tens of thousands of officials, not to mention, there are countless workshops under the rule. If you take everything on yourself, call him if something goes wrong Zhang Anshi is in charge, if Zhang Anshi doesn't shirk it, isn't this crazy?

What's more, the matter of the military workshop is inherently dangerous. Even if many safety measures are formulated, it can be kept secret. Any accidents with this thing are possible, because many people don't know what they are tinkering with. God knows you If you add one thing to another substance and you use fire to burn it, will it directly blow up people to the sky, or will the volatilized things bring down a room full of people.

  You want to say cruel, but the problem is... there are things in this world, and he is like this. Any progress is made by blood and sweat. There is no good thing that is safe and does not need to pay a price.

  If there is pie in the sky, the crazy will go to plow the land.

   Zhang Anshi was also very puzzled when he heard the Thirteenth Taibao, he couldn't help but look at Yang Rong: "Mr. Yang...you are very well-informed, have you heard of it?"

Yang Rong smiled bitterly and said: "The Taibao is an official position, one of the three princes, but...the Thirteenth Taibao...it was Li Keyong, the Jiedushi at the end of Tang Dynasty at that time. This person adopted many adoptive sons, a total of thirteen people. It is bravery, so people at that time called them the Thirteen Taibao. After that...many people took the word Taibao as the title of a brave man."

  Zhang Anshi said: "So it is."

  Zhu Di said: "I didn't order the Taibao, and they dare to designate themselves. It's really unreasonable."

  Zhang An Shidao: "Your Majesty calm down, let's understand the situation first."

  At the moment, the craftsmen were called again.

  These craftsmen were detained. At this time, they were arrested for interrogation, and they heard that His Majesty had arrived in person.

   Asked the whole story.

  The Marquis of Baoding who was screaming just now suddenly withered and hid behind the crowd, fearing that someone would look at him.

Zhu Di looked at Baoding Hou Mengshan, and said coldly: "Okay, your son...it's terrible, not to mention that he is so daring to do such a world-shattering event, he dared to call himself the Taibao. If you dare to call yourself Sangong today, then tomorrow... Don't you want to make yourself the emperor?"

Hou Mengshan of Baoding felt dizzy and scolded himself for giving birth to such a little beast. He prostrated himself and howled, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... This child was fine before, but since he was taken away by Wei Guogong, I didn't expect it. , it turned out to be like this... The guilty minister must die... Ten thousand deaths..."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

Zhu Di said coldly: "Dare to cause such a thing in Shangyuan County, I thought that these boys would be able to keep their own place after taking Qixia with them, but who would have thought that they would be so insolent, it's really outrageous. "

  Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Your Majesty... I have never taught them this, I think they are self-taught."

  Zhu Di waved his hand: "Come here...follow me, today...if I don't give them a little color, this Ming Dynasty will really become a place where there is no law."

  At that moment, he left the county office, got on his horse, and galloped away.

   All the guards followed in a mighty manner.

  The Marquis of Baoding stood up resentfully, with a mixture of sorrow and joy on his face.

  Happily, the son is still alive.

  The bad news is that this son should have drowned in the urinal when he was born, so how did he make the Meng family ransack the family and exterminate the family?

   Zhang Anshi took advantage of His Majesty to go first, stepped forward, smiled wryly and said: "Marquis Baoding... I really didn't teach him..."

  Meng Shandao: "It's you, it's you, it's you! I'm such a good son, who used to just beat people, swear in the street, at most he followed Ding Guogong to steal chickens and dogs, how dare he do such a thing of beheading?"

  Seeing him chattering and still reading, Zhang Anshi quickly ran away.

  A group of people quickly surrounded the workshop.

   Then, dozens of big Han generals followed the sword first, and opened the thick door of the workshop.

  A **** rushed in quickly, shouting: "Your Majesty is here... everyone... go in and check first, see if there is anything that can be blown up."

   Then, another team of Jin Yiwei rushed in.

  Zhu Di looked at the high walls of this workshop, and couldn't help but be speechless. He has been to Qixia many times, and this is the first time he has come to such a place. The defense here is stricter than the Forbidden City.

   It's no wonder that those guys are tyrannical here, and there is no movement. They thought it had been changed, but who would have expected it... just banned the news.

  That Xu Jingchang and others... were driven out.

  When they saw that the emperor came in person, and saw many people fighting openly, they were already frightened.

  Xu Jingchang hurriedly brought people to greet him.

  Zhu Di was riding on a horse, waving a whip in his hand. When he saw Xu Jingchang, he was furious. He pointed his whip condescendingly at him and said, "But Xu Taibao..."

  Xu Jingchang: "..."

   See Xu Jingchang does not respond.

  Zhu Di said angrily: "I see, I told the Taibao to look down on you, and you should be a grand teacher."

   "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

   "Do you know what you did?"

   "Chen...Chen...No..."

   Zhu Di began to count people: "One, two...three...twelve...thirteen...fourteen..."

   "Why fourteen people?"

  Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty...the minister was wronged...they called themselves the Thirteen Taibao, and the minister was wronged..."

  Xu Jingchang roared heart-piercingly.

  The first thirteen people in the back drooped their heads, not daring to show their air.

  Zhang Anshi sounded familiar, but he was a little dumbfounded.

  It's just... Many people looked at Zhang Anshi in unison.

  Especially Nacheng Duke Zhu Neng and Qi Duke Qiu Fu.

  When Baoding Hou Mengshan saw this, he had already got off his horse, rushed to the crowd, picked up his son, and slapped his face several times: "Your mother, you dare to do such a thing, you should confess your guilt."

  The child was beaten into a daze, and said in his mouth: "Father, I don't care about you."

  Meng Shan was even angrier, he raised his hand and wanted to hit him, he was extremely sad and angry, isn't this a big fool? Zhang Anshi fooled Xu Jingchang, Xu Jingchang fooled you group of brainless guys.

  Zhu Di said angrily: "The state owns the state law, is Meng Qing's family going to lynch?"

   Meng Shan listened, bowed down hastily, and said that he would die. "

Zhu Di had also been provoked into anger at this time, and he said angrily: "At the beginning, I expected that the children of the honorable ministers would be ruined if they were pampered. There is still a bit of conscience, not so evil, at most, it is... hard to bear the heavy responsibility. Who would have thought that you would be so wicked, your wings have grown hard, you proclaim yourself an official position, and disturb the people, how dare you have such a behavior Thoughts. Especially you...you are Duke Ding, and your father...died for Jing Nan. As a son, you should know the difficulty of your late father and inherit his legacy. Why do you dare to do such a thing? "

  Duke Xu Jingchang was so frightened that he didn't say a word. He just lowered his head and prostrated himself on the ground. He knew Zhu Di well, so he must not contradict him at this time. His Majesty is tired of cursing, so he won't scold him anymore.

  Zhu Di looked sideways at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing's family... Didn't you say that if they are imprisoned here, they will become talents?"

  Zhang Anshi smiled wryly. What can he say? Could it be that this is the worst class of students I have ever brought up? These bastards, they were not good people when they were born in the womb, so they can't take care of them?

  Zhu Di said angrily: "Do you know... what is the crime of making gunpowder privately?"

  Xu Jingchang heard it, and quickly denied it: "Your Majesty, it's not privately made. This is a military workshop, which is to make all kinds of..."

   "Shut up, I say you are you!"

  Xu Jingchang said: "Yes, yes, I am dead, I made gunpowder privately... No, I didn't make gunpowder privately. I am wronged, I am wronged."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Zhu Di didn't expect this guy to dare to talk back.

  Xu Jingchang said: "This is... this is according to... according to brother-in-law's method..."

  Zhang Anshi immediately interrupted him: "Okay, talk about your own problems, don't rely on others for everything!"

  Xu Jingchang said: "Brother-in-law, let me tell the truth, we...we are doing experiments."

   "Experiment..." Zhu Di couldn't help laughing angrily: "What kind of experiment."

   "Power...power..." Xu Jingchang said.

  Zhu Di didn't understand.

  The rest of the people are also at a loss.

  Only Zhang Anshi can probably understand a little bit, but... Seeing these crooked melons and jujubes, he doesn't want to talk.

  Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty...this power experiment...you know, it is to boil water...boil water to generate gas, and then use pistons and other principles to make it move."

  Zhu Di: "..."

   Zhu Di probably understands every word here, but if he connects them all, Zhu Di feels that he has become illiterate.

Xu Jingchang said: "My lord... I used this to burn the steam, and it was quite successful, but... this thing... the force is still too small, but as the saying goes, once you know this principle, then burn other things... maybe, Can there be more power, so... the ministers thought of a way, if they use kerosene... plus gunpowder, add them together, and burn them together... Isn't this power doubled? So ...The minister waited...then experimented, who would have expected...maybe it was because he wanted to accomplish it overnight, so...the gunpowder and kerosene...we added a little bit more..."

"A little bit…"

  Zhu Di was furious, it's okay not to say, just a little bit from this guy's mouth, the sound of the explosion has already spread to the Forbidden City.

  Zhu Di rode forward to give him a whip, and shouted: "Now, I still want to deceive the king. If it weren't for the face of your late father, I would like to kill you, you little bastard."

  Patter...

  Xu Jingchang was whipped, and immediately became honest, crying loudly: "I am wronged, I am wronged..."

Seeing that he made such a loud noise at this time, Zhu Di finally softened his heart. He wanted to whip down the whip, but the whip in his hand stopped abruptly. He finally sighed: "Qin II died, so did Sui. It's because of the unworthy descendants. I am blessed, and my descendants are finally able to live up to their expectations. As for your family, your father and brother worked so hard at the beginning, and now, you have managed to earn the family fortune. Who would have thought that... You bastards. Come and order..."

  He steered his horse, with an angry face on his face: "Prison them, and their titles... let their family inherit from their sons..."

  Xu Jingchang and the others... were scared out of their wits.

  Xu Jingchang said: "I have only one son in my family."

   Zhu Di glanced at him: "Then let your brother-in-law's son inherit it. Aren't you a brother-in-law if you open your mouth, and you are a brother-in-law if you keep your mouth shut."

  Xu Jingchang: "..."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

   Is there such a good thing?

  Zhang Anshi paused for a moment, but hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no, no... Your Majesty..."

  Zhu Di said: "I'm talking about his brother-in-law."

   "Oh." Zhang Anshi drooped his head, hesitant to speak.

  Yang Rong and others are on the sidelines, eager to try.

  Obviously, although he knew that what His Majesty said was angry, but no matter how he said it, it was against the law of etiquette.

   Just kidding, even if it is inherited by the concubine, or even by the cousins ​​of the uncle, I have never heard of it... for the nephew.

  If this is the case, wouldn't Zhang Anshi also become the heir of the royal family?

Before everyone wanted to persuade him, Zhu Di waved his hand: "You don't need to persuade me, what I said was out of anger. Then first depose the Duke of Dingguo to see the effect later. This kid, he didn't say a word of truth, and I would be so angry .”

  Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, I didn't... I didn't deceive the emperor... I was really doing an experiment."

  Zhu Di said angrily: "What kind of bird experiment did you do, don't use it as a cover."

   "Chen...Chen...I listened to my brother-in-law, it was my brother-in-law who taught me how to do it..."

  Zhang Anshi immediately began to move his legs back unconsciously, and moved a few steps. Someone groaned, but stepped on Jin Zhong's foot behind him: "Ah, no wonder the old man said that there will be bloodshed today."

   Zhang Anshi had no choice but to hide at this time, so he said: "Your Majesty, there really is such an experiment, and I dare not deceive you."

  Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: "You don't have to hide it for him."

   "Your Majesty, this motivation...is really a great subject, if learned well, it is enough to change the pattern of the world..."

  Zhu Di: "..."

Zhang Anshi said: "It's just that they are stupid, they only know what's going on, but they don't know why, and they are messing about. I have given them the best solution, but instead of doing it, they just focus on gunpowder and kerosene. "

   "Really?" Zhu Di looked suspicious.

At this time, Zhang Anshi had no choice but to scold Xu Jingchang, so as to vent his anger on Zhu Di. Maybe later, Zhu Di decided to forgive them, so he angrily said to Xu Jingchang: "You bastard, what a good thing you did, teach me You are away from home, don't report my name, you just want to do it..."

   Cursed again: "Let you study in the direction of steam, you are born to toss that."

   "Brother-in-law..." Xu Jingchang said with red eyes: "I have studied it, steam... I have already researched it, but it is too simple... Isn't it just to build a boiler, burn coal in it, and then boil water? A fool can understand."

Zhang Anshi said: "Hey, you still dare to talk back, don't you? It's one thing to understand its truth, but another thing to produce a finished product. How can there be such an easy thing in the world? I haven't taught you. Are all things easy to say but hard to do? A group of bastards, who don't like to learn, just want to learn from those damned scholars. "

   Hu Guang standing beside Yang Rong: "..."

  Then Xu Jingchang said: "The finished product has also come out, the force is too small, it doesn't work...We don't think it's interesting."

  Zhang Anshi was taken aback: "What finished product."

   "My brother-in-law wrote down the principles of the steam engine and the contents of the compendium..."

Zhang Anshi looked surprised and said: "Really? Don't lie to me. I am not Your Majesty. Your Majesty has a knife mouth and a tofu heart. Today he said that he will imprison you and take your title. Tomorrow he will release you and restore your title." .”

  Zhu Di twitched his face.

Xu Jingchang said: "How dare you lie, this guy is heavy, so...in another test site, at the beginning...it was reported, and it was said that it had great results, but it's a pity that my brother-in-law ignored us. Unsatisfied with this, I thought to myself, how to change the way of boiling water. This is..."

  Zhang Anshi was so surprised that he was speechless.

   "Can you move?"

"can."

"you sure?"

   "Sure, it has been tested many times."

  Zhu Di saw the two talking to each other, but found that what they said was confused, so he angrily asked Zhang Anshi: "What are you talking about?"

  At this moment, Zhang Anshi felt complacent, crossed his hands on his waist, turned his nostrils to the sky, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not!"

   Staying up late every day, the efficiency is indeed a bit slower, sorry, Tiger continues to adjust.
