The whole family is in limbo? He went crazy after listening to Zai's voice

Chapter 273 Censor Zhou: Okay, I’m balanced again
The two brothers Prince and Chu You walked into Tai'an Hall one after another.

Everyone saluted the two of them.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Following Su Maowen's shout, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

Emperor Qi Xuan sat on the dragon chair, raised his hands slightly and said, "Everyone, please stand straight."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Just as Zhou Yushi was about to step forward to discuss the matter, the ministers were cautious and in a daze, and had lost their etiquette in front of the emperor. Unexpectedly, before he had even taken a step forward, the emperor spoke first.

"Recently, when diplomatic missions from various countries are in Beijing, they cannot avoid meeting and greeting each other, and they show hospitality to guests and show our demeanor as a great country..."

As he spoke, Emperor Qi Xuan glanced at the ministers below with his sharp eyes, and then his voice became louder, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

"But you must grasp the scale!"

This sound made the ministers who attended the palace banquet last night shudder, their legs trembled, and their backs were dripping with sweat.

"I will obey your orders!"

Hospitality?

No, no, no, after what happened last night, they will definitely hide far away when they see Bei Lan and the people from the Danjuan mission in the future!
Who cares about that lunatic? !

Zhou Yushi looked around and felt even more confused.

It's getting weirder and weirder.

What riddle is your Majesty playing with them?

Obviously it was not like this yesterday.

Could it be that something happened at the palace banquet?

It was just a banquet to entertain envoys from other countries, which happened every year, but in the past two years, as he was getting older, he really couldn't bear it and didn't want to join in the fun, so he said he was ill and didn't come.

Did he miss something?
Thinking this, he moved his feet a little to the side and asked softly.

"Master Cheng, what happened at the palace banquet last night?"

Hearing this, Mr. Cheng recalled the scene he saw in the side hall last night in his mind.

His face froze and he shook his head repeatedly.

"I don't know, it was so dark, I didn't hear anything."

Zhou Yushi snorted lightly, and then stepped back a little.

"Master Yuan, last night..."

Lord Yuan looked up at the roof.

"It was dark and windy last night. Censor Zhou also knew that Xiaguan was suffering from night blindness. He stood too far away and couldn't see or hear clearly."

Zhou Yushi:? ? ?

So, something happened!

He looked to the left again, "Mr. Lin..."

"Ugh!"

Master Lin reached out and rubbed his forehead, and before he could finish speaking, he let out a long sigh.

"I've been too tired recently. I've had some minor health problems. Last night I suddenly became blind and deafened. I didn't see or hear anything."

Zhou Yushi was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

He looked around again, but the eyes of the ministers around him were evasive. Among the dozens of people, no one dared to look directly at him.

This group of irresponsible people, one or two of them are unreliable!

After feeling angry, a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

He felt that he was isolated!

No, their Yushitai Supervisory Officials are His Majesty’s eyes and ears, and they should be the most knowledgeable about the Daqi.

But today, the entire Tai'an Palace knew something well, but he didn't know it? !

Just when he was scratching his head and head in anxiety, Su Maowen shouted.

"Retreat!"

After Emperor Qixuan left, the courtiers ran out holding their official uniforms, as if they had been driven away by wolves.

This made Zhou Yushi, who wanted to catch a few people for questioning, so angry that he blew his beard, stared, and stamped his feet.

Suddenly, he noticed a figure walking slowly out on crutches.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he hurriedly took a few steps to catch up.

"Does the old lady know what happened last night?"

Old Mrs. Zhou glanced at him doubtfully, "What's the matter?" "Nothing, nothing."

It seems that Mrs. Zhou doesn't know either.

Realizing this, Zhou Yushi felt much more comfortable.

Haha, I'm balanced again!

outside the temple.

Wei Cang, who was planning to go to Tongfu Inn for a few drinks later, suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Master Wei, please stay!"

"Manager Su?"

Su Maowen trotted to catch up, "Master Wei, His Majesty ordered you to go to the imperial study."

Wei Cang followed him confused.

After a cup of tea, in the imperial study room.

Looking at the emperor above, the prince next to him, and the two princes.

Wei Cang rubbed his hands uneasily.

Who knows? Your Majesty just told you in court that you should stay away from envoys from other countries, and when you got down from court, you asked him to ask questions.

So uneasy.

But he did nothing. Except for a brief meeting with the envoys of those countries at the palace banquet last night, he never met them at all other times.

In the past few months, he went to court every day, went on duty at the Ministry of Industry, and then returned to his house to rest. He worked at three o'clock and one line. Sometimes even the servants in the house could not see him for several days, let alone Irrelevant people.

Emperor Qixuan thought for a moment and asked:
"Has anyone else seen the drawings I gave you before?"

Hearing this, Wei Cang's heart rose directly to his throat.

Could it be that someone from the Ministry of Industry leaked the secret? !
He hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty, when making a flintlock gun, for the sake of safety, each component is made separately. The drawings given to the craftsmen were also copied by me."

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

"I can guarantee that after getting the blueprint of the flintlock gun, no one except me has ever seen the complete structural diagram."

Hearing this, Emperor Qixuan nodded slightly.

"Get up, don't be so nervous, I just suddenly remembered and asked casually."

Hearing this, Wei Cang breathed a sigh of relief, it was just that the secret was not leaked.

After he stood up, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

"But now the envoys from the four countries are staying in Beijing. In the battle years ago, I Daqi won a great victory. I'm afraid there are many people who covet the flintlock gun."

After saying that, Emperor Qixuan raised his eyes and glanced at him.

"Your Ministry of Industry is bound to become a target for those who are interested."

Hearing this, Wei Cang's heart suddenly rose again after he had just put it down. Cold sweat formed on his forehead and fell all over his face, dripping from his chin to his collar.

He is solely responsible for these things, and he still holds the drawings in his hands...

Wouldn't that be dangerous for me? !

"Xiyue has prepared gunpowder. This is no secret. As for the flintlock gun..."

Emperor Qi Xuan moved his fingers slightly and tapped the table carelessly, without any wavering in his tone.

"Dan Chuan and the envoys from Beilan Kingdom came to ask for instructions. They said they wanted to experience the Shangyuan Lantern Festival that I launched and stay in the capital for more festivals."

As he spoke, he snorted coldly.

"Humph!"

"That sounds grand, do you really think others can't see their little thoughts?!"

"I also received news that someone will come to you in the near future. You should pay more attention, but remember not to show any alertness or abnormality..."

"what?!"

Wei Cang let out an unbelievable exclamation, and then fell to his knees with a plop on the ground, his wrinkled face full of tears.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, that blueprint is in a very safe place, hidden in the secret compartment behind my father's ranking. No one will ever think of that place!"

Emperor Qi Xuan and his son:...

"I must swear to the death to keep the secret of the flintlock gun and never reveal a word to the outside world!"

"No!"

"What I mean is..."

Emperor Qixuan stared at him closely and said meaningfully:
"You want to say it, and you want to say it loudly, and even let them know that you have the blueprint of the flintlock gun!"
