I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 16 I just want to get the prince.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two days, the capital city has been exceptionally quiet and lively.

All the dignitaries and officials in the city were in danger, for fear that Jin Yiwei, who was running around in the street, would break into their homes and bring the whole family into Jin Yiwei's prison.

The emperor was assassinated, which was a monstrous event.

It is said that the emperor was very angry, and the crown prince and the two princes were disciplined.

The King of Han was even imprisoned at home directly, thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors.

As for what to think, no one knows.

But some people speculate that the assassination may have something to do with Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

In addition, there is another gossip circulating.

That is Zhu Zhangui, the second emperor's grandson, who advised His Majesty on the night of the incident to find the mastermind behind the assassin, only to punish the culprit and not to implicate the innocent.

In the end, he was reprimanded by His Majesty. Not only was he beaten, but he was also imprisoned at home for two months and was not allowed to go out.

Many people secretly praised the second emperor's grandson's benevolence and courage.

As for Zhu Zhanji, the great emperor's grandson who only cared about his own woman from beginning to end.

Many people who have a good impression of it are a little disappointed by it.

The eldest grandson of the emperor didn't seem to be as good as they imagined.

And when the second emperor's grandson contributed 8000 million taels of silver to the court, the news spread to the people, which made Zhu Zhangui's reputation among the people much higher.

His Majesty has given his will.

2000 million will be taken out of it to help the people affected by the disaster, as well as subsidize those soldiers who were disabled due to the war, and the families of the fallen soldiers.

The news spread.

Many soldiers who were unable to work due to injuries and disabilities were moved and wept bitterly, knelt down and shouted long live the emperor.

At the same time, I also thank Zhu Zhangui, the second emperor's grandson who provided the money.

In this way, without knowing it, Zhu Zhangui's reputation spread to all parts of the country.

The imperial palace, Zhu Di's bedroom.

"What is that brat doing at home these two days? Have you made a fuss?"

Looking at the huge map in front of him, Zhu Di gesticulated on it and asked the little snot standing beside him if Zhu Zhangui had been more honest in the past two days.

"Back to Your Majesty, after His Royal Highness the Second Emperor returned to the mansion, in addition to arranging for Mrs. Hu Shanxiang to teach his maid court etiquette, most of the time was spent with the craftsmen summoned to discuss the manufacture of new types of artillery. He said that it must be in your Northern Expedition In the past, a batch was created for you to use."

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.

Zhu Zhangui's performance at home did not disappoint him.

As for the building of artillery, Zhu Di also knew that Zhu Zhangui had reported it to him, but he didn't take it to heart.

How can a new type of artillery be so easy to build? Without several years of dedicated research and a solid foundation in this area, it is difficult to create a new type of artillery!
Although I know that it is difficult for Zhu Zhangui to build a new artillery, it is good for the child to have this aspect.

Being busy with something is better than riding a horse and playing with a dog in a brothel.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yang Shiqi is here."

A female officer came in and reported to Zhu Di that Yang Shiqi was coming.

"Let him in, and you all get out."

After waving away everyone, Zhu Di walked around the hall a few times, adjusted his mood, and strode towards the outer hall.

Zhu Di went out the door of the inner hall, just as Yang Shiqi walked in.

Zhu Di walked quickly to the table, stepped on the stool, and looked at Yang Shiqi with his hands on his knees.

"I got a message that the prince ambushed me."

Yang Shiqi, who originally thought he was called to come over because there was something urgent, smiled and shook his head when he heard the news from Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, I don't believe you."

Zhu Di glared, and shouted sharply: "I know you were an official in the Prince's Mansion, but now you are the Minister of the State, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet."

What Zhu Di said was to remind Yang Shiqi.

Although you used to hang out with the prince, don't forget your identity, I am the boss of this country, I said yes, that is.

Yang Shiqi looked helpless.

"My lord, where did you get the news?"

Ah!This guy really doesn't believe it.

Zhu Di angrily pointed at Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi is not afraid either.

"Do you have any evidence?"

Zhu Di stared, gritted his teeth and said, "You stand on the standpoint of the great success of the country, let me think about it."

Seeing that Zhu Di even used me, Yang Shiqi couldn't help but smile.

Let yourself think about things without evidence.

Not to mention the prince of a country.

Even ordinary people, without evidence, can't be wronged for nothing.

Seeing that this guy hadn't taken the bait yet, Zhu Di began to speak ill of Zhu Pangpang.

"Think about it, is there such a possibility?"

"Some people are honest and honest on the outside, but they are actually cunning and ruthless on the inside,..."

As a result, Zhu Di was drooling for a long time, but Yang Shiqi still said those few words from beginning to end.

Do not believe!
impossible!
You are thinking too much.

At the same time, he advised Zhu Di not to believe these rumors.

Seeing that Yang Shiqi refused to enter, Zhu Di had nothing to say.

Reaching out and tapping Yang Shiqi, Zhu Di said angrily:

"Tough... the mouth is really hard..."

"You are like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard."

After taking a few breaths, Zhu Di turned around and left, ordering Yang Shiqi as he walked.

"No matter what method you use, except for the boss, you will come up with one for me even if you die."

Looking at Zhu Di who walked away angrily, Yang Shiqi looked depressed.

Where did this lead him to find the assassination mastermind?
Jin Yiwei searched for two days, but couldn't find it.

He is a weak scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, how can he find the mastermind behind the assassination.

He could tell that His Majesty was planning to suppress the prince.

Otherwise, he would not let the prince stare at him.

Sure enough, Yang Shiqi's guess became true.

The next day, the Xiaochao meeting had just ended, and everyone in Yang Shiqi planned to rest for a while and prepare for work.

Little Snotty walked into the cabinet and announced that Yang Shiqi and the crown prince had formed a clique for selfish purposes, causing chaos in the government, and he was directly imprisoned in Beizhen Fusi.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of Jinyiwei rushed into the East Palace and took away all the officials of the East Palace.

For a while, the news of the prince's loss of power spread throughout Jinling.

Immediately afterwards, before everyone could react from the news, the news spread that Han King Zhu Gaoxu had obtained the right to supervise the country.

In an instant, the blood of the Hanwang party was boiling, and their spring finally came.

It was already noon when Zhu Zhangui received the news.

"I see, you go back and tell my mother, don't worry too much, you should eat, drink, have a dog, and you will be fine in a few days."

After driving away the maid who sent the message, Zhu Zhangui stared at an old man who was carefully pouring gunpowder into an iron ball with a serious expression.

It was very quiet around, and no one dared to disturb the old man.

With the right amount of gunpowder poured in, the old man slowly completed the final procedure referring to the blueprint.

"call!"

At the end of the procedure, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, held the iron ball, and walked up to Zhu Zhangui.

"Your Highness, the things are already done, exactly according to what you gave, 1:1."

Zhu Zhangui nodded.

"Old Wang, you have worked hard!"

The old man quickly waved his hands, saying he didn't dare.

"Write it down, if the experiment is successful, Mr. Wang will reward 100 taels of silver alone." He ordered Hu Shanxiang who was following him.

Zhu Zhangui was thanked by Wang Laoqian, and took the iron ball to the martial arts training ground in the backyard.

"See Your Highness!"

In the martial arts field in the backyard, five armored men stepped forward to salute.

Zhu Zhangui nodded, and handed the iron ball to one of the honest middle-aged men.

"This is newly modified, let's test the power."

The honest man didn't say much, took the iron ball, and led the other four people to an eight-inch diameter iron cylinder in the distance.

The shape of the iron barrel is very similar to the mortar of later generations, but it is very simple, and there are no pulleys and scopes.

Two iron rods and an iron plate are used as supports, standing in the distance

The five people walked to the side of the iron bucket, and the simple and honest man pulled out the lead wire from a circular base under the iron ball, and slowly pushed the iron ball into the iron bucket.

Putting down the iron ball, the simple and honest man squatted behind the iron bucket and gave a thumbs up, aiming at a group of scarecrows in armor in the distance.

After adjusting the bracket a few times and confirming that it might hit, the man took out the torch and lit the fuse.

"呲呲呲..."

The fuse was ignited quickly, and disappeared into the iron barrel in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the iron ball put into the iron bucket by the man suddenly popped out of the iron bucket and smashed obliquely into the scarecrow.

"boom!"

There was an explosion, and when the scarecrow was placed, a burst of smoke rose.

After a while, with the smoke and dust dispersed.

The scarecrows that were originally arranged neatly fell over a dozen crookedly.

"it is good!"

Seeing the explosion effect, Zhu Zhangui shouted hello loudly.

Giving a thumbs up to the rough man, Zhu Zhangui quickly ran to the scarecrow, wanting to see if the explosion effect had reached his ideal state.
