"Private firearms? Why didn't we know?
All we know is that we asked him to do this! ”
In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been sitting there without saying much, waited until Jiangyin Marquis Wu Liang couldn't help but jump out and hit Mei Yin with a fatal blow.
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang speak.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, what he said was earth-shattering!
Wu Liang was confused all of a sudden.
He was originally filled with righteous indignation, but at this moment, he was momentarily speechless.
All the emotions in my heart were blocked by the words Zhu Yuanzhang said at this moment.
It was like being hit hard in public.
My head is buzzing.
Everyone was extremely confused.
This completely unexpected situation left me speechless.
In other words, he had been planning for a long time to attack Mei Yin this time.
And I feel that this time is a rare opportunity.
The status of his Wu family has also become higher and higher.
Now he came forward in person to talk about this matter during the morning court meeting in Fengtian Palace.
Your Majesty will definitely not spare Mei Yin!
It will definitely make that bastard Mei Yin look good!
Before doing this, he had already made a lot of preparations and had many assumptions.
No matter how I think about it, I feel like this is a sure win.
Even if His Majesty were to protect the calf, he would have to be divided among people.
For an unpopular son-in-law like Mei Yin, Zhu Yuanzhang's protective measures will definitely not be used on Mei Yin.
No matter how you think about it, Mei Yin will definitely not have a hard time this time!
I will shed my skin even if I don’t die!
To put it bluntly, such a major event as privately casting artillery is still within the jurisdiction of Yingtian Mansion.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang intended to cover up such a serious crime, he would not be able to cover it up in public.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang has to act according to the rules!
If this rule is broken, many things will be difficult to handle!
Now that he had revealed the matter in front of all the civil and military officials, he had to make a statement!
Even if you feel dissatisfied with yourself because of this, you must endure these dissatisfactions at this time.
In his opinion, this time it was a must-win situation for him.
But who could have imagined that as soon as he opened his mouth at this time, things would completely exceed his expectations.
He was immediately stunned.
What's going on?
What the hell is going on with this?
It was actually the artillery that Zhu Yuanzhang asked Mei Yin to forge?
This...how could this happen?
When did Zhu Yuanzhang give the order? !
This matter really stunned Wu Liang.
I felt ridiculous in my heart, and at the same time, I was extremely panicked.
This time, the biggest accusation he used to criticize Mei Yin was that Mei Yin secretly made firearms.
As a result, now, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly. I told myself that Mei Yin was following orders.
This immediately put him off.
Since Mei Yin acted under orders, that means he is not guilty.
What else could he do in this situation?
There is simply no way to continue attacking Mei Yin!
He tried his best and felt that he would win, so the punch he made hit the air directly.
This feeling, don’t mention how uncomfortable it is!
He never thought of such a thing!
This is something he especially doesn’t want to see!
Why did he do this?
The purpose is to win the game and regain face.
Now, after Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly made such a move, his actions to regain face were all gone.
A complete failure.
I am the same as before, not only did I not regain my face, but I lost even more face, even more!
Will become a complete laughing stock!
Because before this, he suffered defeat in Mei Yin's hands and had never come forward personally.
Others do it for you.
Although I suffered a small loss, I suffered it secretly.
Others knew that he had suffered a loss, but they had never really seen it.
But this time, it’s completely different!
This was during the early morning dynasty at Fengtian Hall, where all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty attended court!
Those who can go to court here are all prominent figures in the Ming Dynasty.
But in front of these people, he had lost such a big face!
That's really embarrassing!
The humiliation I suffered a few times in the past combined together is not as big as this time!
Without thinking too much, he knew that after what happened this time, many people would definitely look at him very differently when they looked at him again.
Will laugh at myself even more.
I really have no place to put my face as the Marquis of Jiangyin!
How could this be?
How could this be? !
This matter is completely different from what I thought!
Wu Liang was in a complicated mood at this time, and his complexion was constantly changing.
It's really wonderful.
It's like face-changing in Sichuan Opera.
Sometimes green, sometimes white, sometimes red, sometimes black...
In Fengtian Hall, the atmosphere seemed extremely weird at this time.
Originally, when the imperial censor came out to impeach Mei Yin, many people began to wonder if Wu Liang, the Marquis of Jiangyin, was behind the instigation.
Later, after seeing the censor's bombardment, Wu Liang stood up and wanted to make a final decision.
No more guessing now.
Everyone knows that this is Wu Liang attacking Mei Yin!
And many people looked at this matter with the attitude of watching a show.
Knowing that this time, Mei Yin will definitely have a hard time.
Wu Liang had been defeated one after another before, and if he dared to take action again at this time, he definitely had conclusive evidence.
He is absolutely certain of winning!
Otherwise, I would definitely not bring the matter to Fengtian Palace!
Not to mention that after Shi Yushi said those words, he would stand up and say this in person.
But who would have thought that after doing such a thing, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, would actually respond like this.
It is said that Mei Yin made firearms under his instruction...
This... reversed everything at once!
Since Mei Yin was ordered to do this by the emperor, there was absolutely no such big crime as making firearms privately.
This major crime no longer exists. What is the use of Wu Liang's impeachment at this time?
Not only was he unable to attack Mei Yin, but he also became a laughing stock.
Not only that, if you really talk about it, you are still guilty!
Mei Yin was acting under the emperor's orders, but they attacked him and said such excessive words...
What a surprise!
What a surprise!
The atmosphere in Fengtian Hall suddenly became extremely weird.
Many people quietly noticed the change in Jiangyin Marquis Wu Liang's expression.
Looking at his figure, I felt so complicated.
And Shi Yushi, who had been so confident before and accepted Wu Liang's instructions to criticize and impeach Mei Yin, was suddenly confused!
His face was pale, and he turned to look at Wu Liang, his face full of disbelief, and he hesitated to speak.
At this time, he wanted to ask Wu Liang.
What the hell is going on?
Wasn't it agreed that Mei Yin made firearms privately? Not only did he make muskets, but he also made cannons privately? !
But now, this... turned out to be the emperor who asked Mei Yin to do this?
Then... this is nothing more than impeachment!
What does Jiangyin Marquis Wu Liang’s dog eat?
You can't even find out these things, so you dare to call yourself over and give such an explanation? !
Damn it, I was really tricked to death by him this time!
Mei Sizu was also extremely sluggish.
The good mood disappeared all of a sudden!
Originally, he thought that he could see that this guy Mei Yin was unlucky.
And because of this, I was in a particularly good mood.
But how could I have imagined that in just a short period of time, things would turn out like this!
How come... Mei Yin is suddenly not guilty?
Liu Bowen, who had been ill for many days, finally recovered in recent days and began to go to court.
This result is not surprising.
His expression didn't seem to change much, but in fact he was already happy inside.
When he heard that the imperial censor was impeaching his good grandson-in-law, he knew who was responsible.
However, Liu Bowen did not have any worries.
Because he knows that there is no need to take action himself, the superiors will protect Mei Yin!
Others didn't know what Mei Yin had done, but he knew it very well.
This little friend Mei Yin can't be overstated as a genius.
He accomplished many things that were extremely important to Ming Dynasty.
Even though His Majesty usually scolds him, he is particularly unwelcome.
But in fact, I treasure it in my heart!
If he hadn't seen through this a long time ago, how could he, Liu Bowen, have stuffed his granddaughter into Mei Yin's place!
A stupid person like Wu Liang couldn't see through this, and he still kept fighting here, against his grandson-in-law.
This time, the complaint was brought directly to His Majesty.
Let His Majesty decide.
How stupid a person is to do this?
Doesn't he know that His Majesty is also the father-in-law of his grandson-in-law?
Was he kicked in the head by a donkey?
Do you really think that your good grandson-in-law is someone who is not favored by the emperor?
Now Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was exactly what he had guessed.
It also confirmed how high Mei Yin, a good grandson-in-law, was in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
I really didn’t make the wrong bet!
"Poof!"
In this strange and unusually quiet Fengtian Temple.
Suddenly there was a very clear sound.
But it turned out to be the Censor named Zhang, who knelt down directly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
His face was pale and his body was shaking a little.
The voice seemed a little dry.
He knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am... I really don't know that this is your order.
Consort Han was following orders.
I just thought... I just thought he was making firearms privately.
Also...please forgive me for my sin..."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him expressionlessly and said: "As a censor, you have the power to impeach.
However, impeachment cannot be carried out randomly!
When impeaching, at least the corresponding matters must be clarified before proceeding!
If you start impeachment without investigating anything, wouldn't it be a false accusation?
"Yes, it is the sin of a humble minister..."
As he spoke, sweat was already dripping from his forehead.
"Pull it out, the stick is eighty!
Give me a cure for your foolish behavior of listening to others and believing that shit smells good even though you think it is right! ”
As soon as he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the man was frightened to death.
The stick is eighty!
If you really fight, people will die!
Those outside who carried out executions were also very measured.
Generally, the number of sticks is ten, twenty, or even thirty. These all indicate that the emperor wants to punish, and generally he will not really beat people to death.
But when the stick reaches eighty, it can really kill people.
The executioners were all seasoned and very measured in their execution.
If you can detect the people above and don't want people to die, then don't talk about the stick eighty.
Even if he was hit with eight hundred sticks, he would still not be damaged, just some flesh wounds.
But if they notice it, the people above want the person who is being tortured to die.
Not to mention eighty sticks, only three or five sticks are needed to beat someone to death!
And this Shi Yushi is just a minor official from the seventh rank.
Obviously he doesn't have such a big face.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to be beaten eighty times. Although he did not explicitly say that he was to die, it was no different from giving an explicit order...
"Master Marquis, you...you should be fair to me!"
He is anxious!
He called Wu Liang directly at this time and asked Wu Liang to save his life.
At this time, he already hated Wu Liang to death.
Originally, Wu Liang was talking about his vows, but he was also prepared to follow Wu Liang to get more credit and gain more benefits.
Who would have thought that before the benefits are obtained, one's life will be lost!
When Wu Liang heard this man calling him, he wanted to tear his mouth to pieces.
However, he was still angry in his heart, but he bit the bullet and said: "Your superiors, this person carried out impeachment without understanding the actual situation. There is indeed something wrong.
There is a grave sin.
But he is the censor, and he has the responsibility to listen to the news and report things.
He also cared about the Ming Dynasty and was worried that someone would act recklessly and cause a big mess.
Your Majesty, please give me a gentle sentence..."
Wu Liang must stand up at this time.
Although he was very reluctant, he still had to intercede for the imperial censor.
All the people present could see that this Shi Yushi was the person arranged by him.
Follow your own orders.
Not to mention that at this time, he shouted such words directly in front of so many people to save his life.
Under such circumstances, if you remain indifferent, you will definitely be looked down upon even more.
If he arranges for others to do things in the future, I'm afraid many people will no longer obey his orders.
His future prestige will be greatly reduced.
This kind of thing is something he definitely doesn't want to see.
So at this time, even if you are extremely reluctant, you must bite the bullet and go ahead.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, looking at Wu Liang who begged for mercy, his expression looked cold.
This made Wu Liang's heart leap into his throat.
What's going on?
He was so loyal and devoted so much blood to Zhu Yuanzhang for the sake of Ming Dynasty.
How much contribution have you made?
Why now...Zhu Yuanzhang actually wants to treat him like this?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice.
And Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion didn't look that ugly.
"Since the Marquis of Jiangyin has interceded for you, I will not give you the eighty sticks, but thirty sticks."
Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, the censor named Zhang almost burst into tears with gratitude.
Don’t mention how excited I am!
Very good!
My life was saved!
Although he still needs to be beaten, there is a huge gap between a thirty-year stick and an eighty-year stick.
Thirty sticks means that the emperor has no murderous intention towards him.
Can't kill anyone!
Jiangyin Hou has quite a lot of face.
Sure enough, as he said, even the emperor must give him face.
The Marquis of Jiangyin is also pretty good, although what happened this time was a little trickier.
I almost killed myself.
But no matter what, he really doesn't care if something goes wrong.
It’s not that you don’t care about anything.
I will really take responsibility for myself.
Immediately, he knelt on the ground with tears of gratitude and thanked him profusely.
Wu Liang, the Marquis of Jiangyin, was also busy giving up when he saw the opportunity.
Thank Zhu Yuanzhang.
Thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang for giving him this face and not making him too embarrassed. With the superior's attitude, what happened this time, although overall, he, the Marquis of Jiangyin, once again failed in dealing with this piece of shit like Mei Yin, which was very embarrassing.
But no matter what you say, you can still save some face.
And it can also be seen from the emperor's reaction that His Majesty trusts and values him and the Wu family.
Just know that he can't live without his Wu family!
If this kind of thing is done to other people, they will definitely not be able to live with it.
It's not that simple for Zhu Yuanzhang to let them go so easily!
Zhu Yuanzhang is not such a talkative person.
But now, this matter is on his head, and His Majesty is willing to give it this face.
It seemed that he was so angry, but after he opened his mouth, he immediately lowered the eighty stick to thirty.
There are so many doorways here!
You can see how much dignity you have in being in a superior position!
"Thank you for your superiority..."
Wu Liang was busy here and thanked Zhu Yuanzhang again.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said: "Jiangyin Marquis, your two brothers have been following us to conquer the country for a long time.
We know you have always been loyal.
Definitely not going to act haphazardly.
There is some misunderstanding about this matter, and it’s our fault to say the least.
We just gave an oral instruction to Mei Yin and asked him to do these things.
I did not tell the world about this matter..."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Wu Liangliang became even more excited.
Listen! Listen to them all!
What did His Majesty say in public?
He mentioned the past events of that year, and also said in public that his brother followed him to conquer the country.
This shows that His Majesty still misses the old relationship and regards himself and others as his confidants.
His Majesty said this now to save his face.
What I thought was indeed correct. My two brothers still have great respect with His Majesty.
Even though Wu Liangdang was busy expressing his loyalty, he withdrew.
Many people present saw this in their eyes and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
I feel that these Wu brothers are really good and are His Majesty's confidants.
Not only did His Majesty not blame him for doing such a thing, he was also concerned about his face...
But beside him, Liu Bowen, who had been silent all this time, secretly shook his head when he saw this.
I feel that Wu Liang is almost gone.
He knew that something had happened in Daming in recent days.
Among them, the thing that interested him the most was that King Zhu Di of Yan went to Chongming with two hundred personal guards and a lot of food and supplies to reward the Japanese navy led by Wu Zhen.
In the eyes of many people, this is perfectly normal.
But Liu Bowen felt that it was not that simple.
This is His Majesty’s real killer move!
I'm afraid that Your Majesty is already preparing to take action against Wu Zhen and Wu Liang brothers.
The key to solving Wu Zhen and Wu Liang lies in Wu Zhen, who commanded the Japanese navy.
It is true that Wu Zhen's place is too close to the sea and he has many soldiers and horses.
Once there is any disturbance, you can flee to the boundless sea!
Very difficult to deal with.
As long as Wu Zhen can be dealt with, then Wu Liang, the next person at the emperor's feet, will be the turtle in the urn!
The superiors could easily deal with him however they wanted, so they took care of him.
Others thought it was incredible to take only two hundred personal guards to capture Wu Zhen.
But Liu Bowen felt that this was very likely to be the case.
Although His Majesty has gained momentum, he prefers to use upright moves in most battles.
But this doesn't mean that he can't take risks!
Are you really giving Wu Liang face when you take charge?
Not so.
It's probably because there is no definite news from His Highness the Fourth Prince.
Your Majesty still doesn't know whether Wu Zhen has been captured.
Therefore, the superiors here can only tolerate it for the time being and not alert others.
But judging from Wu Liang's performance, Wu Liang was still not aware of this at all.
This is the brilliance of His Majesty!
This was also the biggest reason why he judged that the Wu brothers must be unlucky.
Others have already taken action, and their swords are about to be buried in their chests.
He didn't know anything yet.
Isn't this just plain stupid?
How could such a person survive?
His death is bound to be extremely miserable!
Nowadays, it is no longer the time to conquer the world.
The methods used in troubled times simply won’t work in today’s governance.
But many people are just so stupid.
Even before this, the emperor had made many things clear and set up an iron monument to warn the princes.
Moreover, regarding the matter in Zhongdu City, he severely lost the face of South Korean Duke Li Shanchang.
In the previous Kongyin case, so many people were executed at once.
However, there are still too many people who cannot turn this corner.
Still going my own way.
Use the tactics of troubled times here.
How could these people want to end up well?
Liu Bowen understood everything, but he didn’t say anything.
It is even less likely that Wu Liang will be reminded.
Let's not talk about it, he and Wu Liang don't have that deep friendship.
It's just that this piece of shit can't be dealt with by his good son-in-law.
There is no way he would say anything to a fool like Wu Liang.
Such people should be dealt with as soon as possible and put an end to the problem as soon as possible!
The only thing Liu Bowen is worried about is that in the future, His Majesty will kill too many people and he will not be able to hold back...
As a result, His Majesty's reputation will not be very good in the future.
Especially above the history books...
At this time, strong men came and dragged the censor named Zhang out and executed him.
Soon, I heard a banging sound and miserable screams outside...
After what happened, no one said anything more.
He quickly withdrew from the court...
……
"Damn it!"
After retreating from the court and returning to Wuying Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but cursed angrily.
Just now, when Wu Liang, an old dog, stood up and spoke, he really wanted to take action directly and deal with this dog!
It took him a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his heart.
This is not because Zhu Yuanzhang is kind-hearted, mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
But from the fourth side, no definite news has come back.
If it was Lao Si, the exact news was sent back.
Wu Liang, he will definitely solve it as soon as possible!
However, the real troublesome person for the Wu brothers now is not Wu Liang, but Wu Zhen.
And the Wu brothers are in the same spirit.
To solve it, we can only take down Wu Zhen first.
I hope Lao Si can succeed quickly!
After the fourth child succeeded, he had to quickly deal with all these bitches one by one!
It won’t make you upset just looking at it.
At the same time, I was also thinking about whether Mei Yin could come up with a more powerful artillery.
If we can really get a more powerful artillery, it will be really useful to our Ming Navy!
It is more conducive to Daming, opening a shipping company, and developing overseas!
……
"Go further away!"
"Don't cross this line!!"
Over at Shuangshui Village, someone was shouting to maintain order.
Here, a large area has been cleared and no one is allowed to enter.
The reason for this is that now, after a period of hard work, the artillery he made is finally completed, and it is time to test the cannon!
Artillery is different from muskets.
Long range and powerful.
It is easy to be in danger if you are not careful.
Therefore, when conducting a gun test, a large area needs to be cleared to prevent anyone from entering.
After doing these things, it was confirmed that the area was absolutely safe and no one existed.
On Mei Yin's side, he and Li Jinglong loaded gunpowder into the red cannon.
After reloading, the projectile was reloaded.
Li Jinglong's whole person was filled with excitement and anticipation.
In the past few days, he has been working with his second uncle.
I witnessed with my own eyes how my second uncle made such an oversized and overlong artillery piece!
Gradually, I became more confident in this artillery.
I really want to see with my own eyes how powerful this new artillery is!
Mei Yin blew out the fire stick and lit the fuse.
He immediately ran back more than twenty steps, away from the cannon, and hid in the bunker that had been built in advance.
Covered his ears.
Although Mei Yin knew that he cast the red cannon strictly based on the methods obtained from the Death Remonstrance System.
Basically, there are no problems such as chamber explosion.
But now is the test stage, so if you can be more careful, you still have to be more careful.
Only after he has gone through experiments and confirmed that there is no problem with this thing, can he use it with confidence...
As long as he did not receive the task of admonishing Zhu Yuanzhang to death.
Mei Yin takes his own life very seriously.
I don't want to let myself blame this place because of some trivial things.
This would be such a loss!
After Mei Yin and the others hid in the bunker, after about seven or eight breaths, they heard a boom, an earth-shattering sound!
It makes people feel like the earth is shaking!
A plume of gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, like thunder exploding overhead!
After confirming that the sound had been heard and there was no other movement.
Mei Yin, Li Jinglong and the others came out of the bunker.
All I saw was smoke filling my eyes.
And there was a little smoke at the muzzle after firing, which was slowly dissipating...
Looking forward, I can no longer see where the projectiles are flying.
After waiting like this for a while, a fast horse came galloping from the front.
Make a report.
It was said that the fired projectiles were found seven miles away!
"How much?!"
After hearing this number, Li Jinglong's body couldn't help but tremble, filled with extreme disbelief.
"You...how far did you say it was?!"
"Reporting to the young master, it is definitely more than seven miles!"
Li Jinglong was stunned.
Then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face!
Actually more than seven miles? !
What a concept!
You know, today's artillery can only hit a place of more than two miles.
This is already called the supreme weapon!
When attacking the city, the defenders' expressions changed upon hearing this!
As a result, now, the artillery made by my second uncle actually reached an extremely exaggerated seven miles!
And judging from the way this man spoke, Qili was only a little more!
This is really amazing! !
The greater the range, the greater the corresponding power.
Especially when turning long range into short range!
The artillery built by the second uncle should be very powerful when it encounters the city wall again in the future!
This is the true artifact that governs the country!
"Second uncle! Amazing!
It’s really divine!
It’s more than seven miles!
Second uncle! ”
Li Jinglong couldn't help but give Mei Yin a thumbs up and said repeatedly.
His face was full of shock!
"Haha, Jinglong, let's make it!"
Mei Yin also said with a smile.
But there was no such excitement in his voice.
Because he comes from a later generation and knows and has seen too many high-end weapons.
This red cannon can reach seven miles away, which is extremely shocking to people of this era.
But for him, it was just like that.
It really shocked him.
However, thinking about such a range is far ahead of this era.
Mei Yin couldn't help but feel some joy in her heart...
Weapons don't need to be advanced, as long as they are much better than their contemporaries, that's enough!
……
"Dad, are you back?"
After Wu Gao saluted Wu Liang, he looked for an opportunity to leave.
I don’t want to appear in front of my father more often.
In fact, he already knew the outcome of this incident through some methods.
My father was frustrated again.
He was afraid that he would be angered if he stayed in front of his father for too long.
"Come back! Do you think I failed again?"
"No, no!"
Wu Gao shook his head quickly.
When Wu Liang heard this, he glared at him.
He snorted and said: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking!
This matter does seem to have failed.
But let’s just say it’s not a failure.
Who would have known that His Majesty actually gave an oral instruction to Mei Yin to make firearms!
And judging from His Majesty’s reaction to this incident.
Your Majesty still has great trust in our Wu family.
The most important thing is that we can see His Majesty's attitude towards our family from this incident.
It can also let others know that our Wu family is still His Majesty’s confidant, far beyond his comparison!
Hearing what Wu Liang said, Wu Gao nodded quickly, indicating that his father was right...
While Wu Liang was saying this, a fast horse came all the way to the capital.
A letter was delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked it up and looked at it, and immediately laughed.
"Okay! As expected of the fourth child in our family! Well done!
Someone come! Send an order to King Jin immediately! Tell him it's time to take action! ! "(End of Chapter)
