Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 100 Zhu Yuanzhang hates that iron cannot become steel!

Even if there is a battle on the battlefield, limbs and broken arms will not fall everywhere.

Moreover, these are all the people of his Ming Dynasty, not enemies.

The capital city is also the center of politics, economy and culture. The loss this time is not just a simple casualty of population.

What's more, the weakening of the political economy caused by this explosion and the sudden death of a large number of officials will become the most difficult things later.

The location of the explosion is now in the southwest corner of Beijing's inner city. Wang Gong Factory was the royal arsenal and gunpowder bureau, a place specializing in gunpowder.

It was precisely because of the importance of this thing, both as an arsenal and as a gunpowder factory, that it was of great political and military importance, so the Ming Dynasty arranged it in the city instead of in the city. outside.

I had previously considered that an explosion might occur here, affecting the safety of the palace, so I arranged it in a remote area of ​​the city.

This place is about three kilometers away from the palace, and it is also the royal safe distance approved by the emperor of the old Zhu family.

However, this distance was established when Zhu Di was emperor. In the 1420th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, that is, , it was affiliated to the Ministry of Industry.

Xiao Ran calmed down for a while and now he has calmed down.

He said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Uncle, we have to go and see what is going on in the palace now. The emperor is probably very frightened, and the court must be in chaos now. You are also needed to calm people's hearts at this time. "

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded, his face heavy.

It can be said that Xiao Ran endured the nausea in his heart while rushing towards the palace.

Although there are not many people in the gunpowder factory, there is only one eunuch who supervises the factory, more than 30 craftsmen, and some temporarily recruited helpers.

However, the daily output of gunpowder is about two tons, and the regular reserve is about 1,000 tons.

These gunpowders are specially used for the forbidden troops in the Beijing camp. If there is no war, the gunpowder sales will be small and the reserves will be larger. It is estimated that the storage capacity will be two to three thousand tons.

Just now there was an explosion of at least two thousand tons of gunpowder.

……

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang were already inside the palace.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was still under the table, his body was shaking constantly, and he seemed to be lost.

"As an emperor, are you still hiding here?" Looking at Zhu Youxiao's appearance, which was worse than even Xiao Ran's, Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious and angry.

Zhu Youxiao listened to this reprimand, looked up, and was even more frightened: "Taizu...Emperor Taizu! Could it be that I am really dead, and then I saw Taizu."

All of a sudden, Zhu Youxiao collapsed to the ground.

In addition, the explosion just now made his ears ring, and he couldn't hear anything at all.

At this moment, he was filled with only subconscious fear.

This explosion is really a troublesome thing.

Xiao Ran had already expected that it would be good if the completion rate of this mission could reach half of the previous one.

Just when Xiao Ran was about to pull Zhu Youjian out, there was another wave of violent aftershocks, which almost made him lose his footing and fell to the ground, so he had to quickly hold on to the table.

"It scared me. It's going to explode again."

Xiao Ran clutched his chest in fear.

The earliest document to record the disaster was the Beijing News.

The day after the big explosion, the government-run "Beijing News" published an article saying that there was an explosion at the Wang Gong Factory. The shock wave of the explosion caused "the stone lion on Shihuma Street weighing 5,000 kilograms and flew out of Shuncheng." Outside the door".

The place outside Shuncheng Gate is already ten kilometers away!
When Xiao Ran looked at these records before, he only thought that this was impossible. It was probably because the emperor Zhu Youxiao wanted to make the accident seem bizarre and mythical, so as to reduce the impact on him as the emperor and let people release it.

But now, Xiao Ran really believed it.

The official history's record of this disaster is at least credible.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: "In the fifth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, there was a disaster in Wang Gong's factory. There were endless thunders in the ground, self-immolation with gunpowder, smoke and dust in the sky, and darkness in the daytime for four or five miles."

It's just that it was mentioned in "Guoyan" that there was a fire in the Forbidden City before the explosion. After the fire, 30,000 people were mobilized to rebuild the palace.

The explosion occurred just when the workers were working at high altitude. A strong shock wave suddenly came out. The 30,000 people were probably killed or maimed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's bad temper couldn't help but bring him out.

"Okay, we are alive, and you are not dead yet."

"We have to think of a way to deal with this explosion quickly."

But Zhu Youxiao still didn't understand after being dragged out in confusion.

"Why would I still see Taizu even if I didn't die?"

"Taizu has been gone for so many years, how can he still be alive?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face turn dark, Xiao Ran quickly stepped forward and introduced himself to Zhu Youxiao.

"I am the chairman of the Super Dimension Company, Xiao Ran. I come from the future hundreds of years later. As for Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor Taizu you call, we also brought him through time and space."

"Travel through time?!"

Listening, Zhu Youxiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then are there really immortals in this world? Immortal, are you here to save me?"

"I'm not an immortal. I don't have any so-called magic power or magic. I just know a little more than you. But you still have to do it yourself as to how you can accomplish it."

"Oh, this emperor is really boring." Zhu Youxiao had always been focused on the art of wood carving, but now that he has suffered such a change, he feels even more tired of being the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned cold, with a hint of anger in his voice: "If you don't want to be the emperor, there are many people in the world who want to be."

"Today, it's okay for us to remove you as the emperor."

Xiao Ran was very open-minded and persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang: "Uncle, don't be angry. Everyone has his own ambitions, and everyone has their own talents and skills. Zhu Youxiao's carpentry work is indeed good. Every time he does it, Ask the eunuch to sell the things in the market, and there will always be someone who knows the goods and buys them at a high price."

"And even the wooden fountain has been researched by him. In terms of mechanical skills, Zhu Youxiao is better at it. It would be better to change someone to be the emperor. Zhu Youxiao will be the emperor for life, a idle and relaxed rich man who does not involve in government affairs. ." Xiao Ran thought for a moment and realized that this was also feasible.

"In that case, that's fine." Zhu Youxiao agreed immediately.

"Why don't you give the throne to your younger brother! Wei Zhongxian must be used again. He is the most convenient eunuch I can use."

Xiao Ran's moment went dark.

It was okay not to mention Wei Zhongxian, but he felt angry when he thought of this eunuch whose status was equal to that of the emperor and whose real power was even greater than that of the emperor.

"No, it's okay if I don't kill him."

This was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang saw Xiao Ran express his opinion so straightforwardly.

He couldn't help but ask Xiao Ran: "What's going on with this eunuch?"

"Wait a minute, you should talk about what this boy has done." In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little hesitant. After all, changing the emperor was not a trivial matter.

Xiao Ran nodded and said: "Let me talk about Wei Zhongxian first. When he was young, his family was poor and he lived on the streets. He was illiterate, but he knew how to shoot archery and ride horses."

"Later, because he liked gambling and was obsessed with drinking and sex, Wei Zhongxian often gambled with a group of evil teenagers. Once, after he lost a lot in gambling, he hated himself and left the palace. He changed his name to Li Jinzhong and became a eunuch in the palace."

"Speaking of this person, I really have to say that there are really a lot of bad things going on in the palace."

When he complained, Xiao Ran's face turned dark.

"There are rumors that Wei Zhongxian has been acquainted with the eunuchs in the palace for a long time, so he has not cleansed his whole body and still has a testicle. But we can remain skeptical about this for the time being."

"As for Wei Zhongxian, the Wei Dynasty, and the emperor's eldest grandson's wet nurse, the Hakka family, there are two or three things that have to be said between the three of them. Wei Zhongxian was elected to the palace during the Wanli period and was subordinate to the eunuch Sun Xian. He entered by flattering him Jia Ziku.”

"He also asked Wang Cairen, the mother of the emperor's eldest grandson, to serve as a special meal, and curry favor with the Wei Dynasty. The emperor's eldest grandson's wet nurse was called the Hakka family. She had always served the Wei Dynasty privately, that is, for food. After Wei Zhongxian entered the palace, the Hakka family After colluding with him, the Hakka family treated the Wei Dynasty coldly and liked Wei Zhongxian, and the two formed a deep relationship."

"This, this is nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this matter was very explosive. "How can such a person be a good person?"

"This eunuch, no, these two eunuchs and the wet nurse should be punished!"

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find a match for the eunuch, but when these thoughts were played on the people who were serving closely around the prince and grandson, he naturally became particularly angry.

Xiao Ran continued: "Wei Zhongxian got it right. In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, the first year of Taichang, that is, 1620, Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun and Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo died within a month."

"After that, Zhu Youxiao came to the throne as Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, and the following year it was changed to Tianqi. Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family were favored by Zhu Youxiao. Within a month, the Hakka family was granted the title of Fengsheng Lady, and her son Hou Guoxing and younger brother Ke Guangxian and Wei Zhongxian's brother Wei Zhao are the guards of thousands of households."

"Wei Zhongxian was soon promoted from the Xixin Department to the Chief of Ceremonies, the Eunuch Bingbi and the Admiral of Baohe Sandian. Even though Wei Zhongxian was illiterate, he could not enter the Chief of Ceremonies as a rule, but because of the Hakka family, he was able to make an exception."

Speaking of this Hakka family, Xiao Ran really couldn't understand how a nanny could have such a high status and value in Zhu Youxiao's heart.

He actually went to Zhu Youxiao and asked: "Your Majesty, can I ask you what exactly you are thinking, or is there some hidden reason why the Hakka family is so special?"

Zhu Youxiao's expression suddenly became a little subtle, and he was speechless.

Looking at this expression, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiao Ran didn't understand anything. They were all adults and knew everything.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of one thing: "I still remember that something like this happened to Li Shimin and his old Li family. What happened to Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang was also the reason why Wu Meiniang later became the empress."

As he said that, he looked at Zhu Youxiao and asked, "Are you also so brainless?"

"Don't worry, Hakka still can't be the empress. Her brain can only be played in the palace. She doesn't have the big structure and flexible brain of Wu Zetian, so she can't do anything." Xiao Ran continued, For Ke Shi, his evaluation is really not high.

There is absolutely no comparison between this woman and Wu Zetian.

"But something happened later. Zhu Youxiao issued an edict to give the Hakka Incense Field and Wei Zhongxian's credit for managing the imperial ancestor's tomb."

"The Censor Wang Xinyi advised him, but Zhu Youxiao refused to listen. Then there was no other way. Who called him the emperor? In the end, we could only do things according to his temperament."

"It's just that some things are like a layer of window paper. Everyone sees through it but doesn't say it. They understand it tacitly. As long as there are no big problems with etiquette on the surface, the matter is over."

Xiao Ran said so well that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

"What did you say, kid? Is this how you behave?"

Xiao Ran spread his hands helplessly: "Does this have anything to do with me? I haven't even had a girlfriend in so many years."

"These are just things that your descendants have done. Apart from Zhu Youxiao, there are even more outrageous things. It's just that I didn't tell you, uncle, these terrible things before."

"If I tell you everything, I'm afraid you will be even more angry."

At this time, Zhu Youxiao's expression had completely changed. If he was frightened by the explosion before, then he was frightened by Xiao Ran now.

When he was the emperor himself, he was naturally the biggest, even if he knew something was wrong, he could do whatever he wanted.

But now in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, it's like being in front of the elders.

All these things were revealed at once, and he was afraid.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but gave Xiao Ran a begging expression.

But Xiao Ran's attention is not on him at all now, where can he receive the signal?
Xiao Ran was still saying: "When it comes to Zhu Youxiao's wedding, the censors Bi Zuozhou and Liu Lan asked the Hakka family to be sent out of the palace. Even the bachelor Liu Yishuo said so."

"At that time, uncle Zhu Youxiao was still reluctant to say goodbye to your good descendant: the queen is young and still needs an old woman to take care of her. We can talk about it after the emperor's funeral."

"Later, Wei Zhongxian monopolized the Hakka family and expelled him from the Wei Dynasty. He also hated Wang An for being the right one, so he plotted to kill him and expel all the eunuchs under his name."

"In general, my opinion of these two people is very, very, very, very bad. I have to say important things three times. Wei Zhongxian must not be kept."

"Hakka is lewd and vicious. Wei Zhongxian has never read any books but has a good memory. He is sexually suspicious, cruel and vicious, but he is extremely good at flattery."

"After Wei Zhongxian gained power, he became even more unscrupulous. He increased the number of internal troops to 10,000, wore armor and went in and out of the palace, and wreaked havoc. He was even known as nine thousand years old, and the people only knew him as nine thousand years old. I didn’t know there was an emperor anymore.”

"For his own selfish desires, he had the courage to falsely pass on the imperial edict and send Zhu Changluo's chosen servant Zhao to death."

"Zhu Youxiao, do you want to know why you have no heirs? Because Concubine Zhang was pregnant, the Hakka conspired to kill her. Queen Zhang was pregnant, and the Hakka conspired to have her aborted. Others who were killed were Feng
