serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 259 Cannon Foundry Right
Courtyard

Watching Wang Ziteng's carriage disappear at the corner of the street, O Bi turned and walked back.

With a sound of "bang bang", a tea bowl fell on the ground in the yard, and the fragments splashed everywhere!

E Bi who had just walked into the courtyard was slightly startled, and then another vase was thrown out!
Then came Wuya Ruixing's roar from inside: "Shameless villain!"

The voice of Xianghuang Banner's leader: "There may be some misunderstanding."

Wuya Ruixing: "Misunderstanding? Bullshit misunderstanding! Didn't he just want to use the hand of the Great Zhou Emperor to get rid of the person in power of the Wuya clan?"

A cold light flashed in O Bi's eyes, and he strode towards the main room of the north house.

Wuya Ruixing paced back and forth in the room with a gloomy expression, walked to the door and stopped, turned around and looked at Zuo Ling with the yellow banner: "He must be responsible for this matter!"

E Bi walked to the door, looked at Wuya Ruixing: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Wuya Ruixing and Xianghuang Banner Zuoling were both startled, looking at E Bi.

E Bi looked at Wuya Ruixing for a long time: "I am not a person who gives indiscriminate grace. Since you want me to fulfill you and protect your sister, let me get what I want first. Otherwise, why would I Want to help?!"

Wuya Ruixing remained silent.

E Bi glanced at the collar of the inlaid yellow flag again, went straight to the chair in the middle and sat down, then looked at Wuya Ruixing kindly: "I am doing this for your own good. Although you have entered the Wuya family tree , but you can’t change your origin after all. If you don’t cleanse the Wuya clan, you won’t be able to control the Wuya clan’s power at all. You will even be coerced by the people below.”

He took a few sips from the tea bowl on the case table, and then said: "If you can't completely control Wu Ya's power, you brothers and sisters will never be able to live with peace of mind, especially your younger sister."

Uya Ruixing looked at him.

E Bi smiled: "Don't worry. The Ministry of Officials is still the territory of the Wu Ya clan, and you will be the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Zuo Ling Xianghuang Banner spoke: "Then what about me?"

E Bi looked at him and smiled: "Don't worry, the master remembers your achievements. Your reward will not be missed."

Xiang Huang Banner Zuo Ling smiled and nodded.

E Bi: "I know that you have always been in contact with the Yizhong County King, and you have left yourself a way out, thinking that one day the Qing Empire will fall, and you will be able to return to Dazhou."

Wuya Ruixing didn't answer, but just looked at E Bi.

E Bi stood up, and slowly stomped away: "You are a sensible person. At this point, you can't retreat. In Wuya Boyong's eyes, only the interests of Wuya's family are the only ones, and your brothers and sisters are just tools. , can be discarded at any time. Except your sister, you shouldn't take other people so seriously.

As long as you do what I say, I'm not sure if you can completely control Wu Yashi, but it will definitely be very beneficial to you.It's all for your own good! "

Wuya Ruixing smiled: "If what you said just now is really for my own good, I'll just kowtow to you."

E Bi also smiled: "Then I'll just wait."

Wuya Ruixing approached O Bi with a smile: "Okay, if there is anything, just tell me!"

Xiang Huang Banner Zuo Ling answered, "That's exactly what you said. Please order me something!"

E Bi nodded in satisfaction: "Stop talking, all you need to know is that Wuya Boyong must die in the capital!" After saying this, he walked out.

Watching E Bi walk out of the yard, Zuo Ling Xiang Huang Qi suddenly smiled strangely.

Wuya Ruixing frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

The leader of Xianghuang Banner: "I laugh at you for losing yourself and putting the cart before the horse. Don't forget that everything you have in Daqing is given to you by Wuya Boyong. Without Wuya Boyong as a backer, what do you do?" No!" He said and walked straight to the door.

A chill flashed in Wuya Ruixing's eyes, but she quickly retracted it, thought for a while, and hurriedly chased it out.

At this time, the door of the side hall of Qianqing Palace was closed, and Dai Quan was standing outside the door under the eaves.

In the distance, Wang Hetang and Shi Guangzhu came hurriedly.

Dai Quan hurriedly walked down the steps and greeted him.

Wang Hetang asked: "I heard that Duke Ning is here?"

Dai Quan: "Yes."

Wang Hetang: "We have something to ask His Majesty."

Dai Quan shook his head: "Your Majesty said, no one will be seen."

Wang Hetang was surprised: "Isn't Ning Guogong inside? We have something urgent!"

Dai Quan smiled apologetically: "Your Majesty said, no one is going to be seen right now."

Wang Hetang and Shi Guangzhu exchanged a surprised look.

Shi Guangzhu said: "In this case, let's go back and wait." After speaking, he went straight to the outside of Qianqing Palace.

Wang Hetang could only nod his head, and followed him back.

At this moment, a senior eunuch from the criminal punishment department hurried over and whispered something in Dai Quan's ear.

After hearing this, Dai Quan hesitated for a while, and then said to the eunuch, "Stay here and watch, no one is allowed to approach."

The eunuch replied: "Yes."

Dai Quan walked to the door of the hall, first gently pushed open the door on the left, then walked in lightly, and then closed the door from the inside.

In the study room, Emperor Jianwu was sitting in front of the imperial case, quickly flipping through the blueprints of Xiyi artillery, and finished reading more than a dozen blueprints in a short time.

Everything in the officialdom is regulated, how the seat is arranged is related to the change of a person's status and power, especially the seat in the study room.

Jia Hu has a seat in the upper study room, but this seat is placed in the main hall five steps away from the imperial case, not only because he is not a cabinet minister, but also because of his status as a general.

Today Jia Hu sat on the right side of the imperial case, drinking tea in silence.

"I don't understand this thing, I just heard that Xiyi artillery is powerful. What do you think?" Emperor Jianwu asked.

Jia Hu thought for a while before answering: "The artillery is about the same in power. It's just that the Xiyi artillery has a longer range, lighter weight, and is easy to transport."

Emperor Jianwu understood, and then asked: "With these artillery, will the imperial court's northern expedition to Liaodong be much easier?"

Jia Hu replied: "Yes."

Emperor Jianwu nodded in satisfaction.

Jia Hu hesitated for a moment and said, "I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow the Yongwei Battalion to cast two types of field artillery, 6-pound and 12-pound."

Emperor Jianwu fell silent, his eyes slowly turned to Jia Hu.

At this time, Dai Quan walked to the door and looked inside.

Emperor Jianwu felt it from the corner of his eye, and without turning his head, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Dai Quan quickly replied: "The elders Wang Ge and Shi Ge from the cabinet just came and said they are in a hurry." As he spoke, he glanced at Jia Hu.

Emperor Jianwu was looking at him, understood, and said to him, "Come in."

Dai Quan replied: "Yes." He walked in lightly and silently, walked up to Emperor Jianwu and stopped.

Emperor Jianwu turned his attention to Jia Hu again: "How many cannons do you plan to cast?"

Jia Hu froze for a moment, then stood up: "Sixty 6-pound guns, twelve 12-pound guns."

Emperor Jianwu waved his hand: "Too many, the Yongwei Battalion already has 250 sub-cannons. In this way, reduce it by half."

Jia Hu blurted out, "All the ammunition is in the Armament Bureau!"

Emperor Jianwu waved his hand: "This is already an exception. Mr. Wangge and the others are probably here to look for you. For the Liaodong matter, you should go to Wenyuan Pavilion."

Jia Hu still wanted to speak, but Dai Quan quickly said, "Even if His Majesty agrees, the Yongwei Camp doesn't have so many craftsmen, does it?"

Jia Hu was slightly taken aback, seeing that this was really the case, he bowed to Emperor Jianwu and retreated.

Watching Jia Hu go out, Emperor Jianwu turned to Dai Quan: "Speak."

Dai Quan leaned forward and said in a low voice: "There is news from the Courtyard that E Bi wants to use the court's hand to kill Wuya Boyong. The leader of Xianghuang Banner is trying to persuade Zhen Fu to join forces with Wuya Boyong. Boyong killed O Bi and cut off the right and left arm of the Prince of Tartars."

Emperor Jianwu nodded his head. Years ago in the prison of the Ministry of War, the cowardly Xianghuang Qizuo led him to become a secret agent of the Criminal Division.
