The art of bracketing!

Chu Shaoyuan instantly thought that in the Fujian General Military Mansion, the team of pirates that Qin Bohou once led, and the most sophisticated bow and crossbow in the hands of that team of pirates was the top crossbow of Dayan, and the bows and crossbows in that row were aimed at him at that time, as long as he gently pulled the armor, the crossbow arrows could shoot thirty or forty zhang away, and completely crucify several of them there.

His heart was full of shock at the moment, according to Zhang Chong's words, things were not as simple as he imagined, he only thought that Qin Bohou had used the equipment sent by the imperial court to the anti-Japanese soldiers by him privately, and now listening to Zhang Chong say this, could it be that the technique of the opportunity is not a secret? Even Zhang Chong, a squire of the Ministry of Works, can get it, for the chief soldier Qin Bohou, what is the difficulty?

But... Shouldn't such a powerful technique be controlled by the Ministry of War, and when will it fall into the Ministry of Industry?

The light under his eyes instantly became deep, and he glanced at Zhang Zhong inexplicably: "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Zhang Zhong lowered his head and smiled slightly, of course he understood, he also knew that if he took this step, it would be very likely that he would never recover, but it was much better than being so scared now, besides......

He quietly raised his head and glanced at Chu Shaoyuan, he didn't believe that Chu Shaoyuan, a child who was only sixteen years old this year, had been raised outside the palace for more than ten years, and after returning to the palace, he almost lost his life because of these two errands, such a young man would not have the slightest resentment towards the emperor, as long as he bet a little right, then he would not be thrown out as a scapegoat so easily.

He said in a low voice: "Please also ask the prince to take a step to speak." ”

Chu Shaoyuan frowned, glanced at Xia Mingchen, who was still talking to the Xia family, thought sideways for a while, got up and motioned for him to go out first.

Xia Mingchen was about to finish the last sentence, when he saw Chu Shaoyuan coming over with a gloomy face, he only thought that Chu Shaoyuan was too strong to hold on, and hurriedly spoke: "Mother asked the maid to come over and tell me just now, saying that if you are unwell, go back to the inner courtyard to rest first, and then come to watch the ceremony when it is time to salute." ”

In front of so many people, Chu Shaoyuan didn't want to say anything else, so he nodded and followed his words: "It's really a little uncomfortable, so don't stay here and get in the way, big brother, don't be surprised." ”

Xia Mingchen waved his hand indifferently, "It's all a family, what's not weird, besides, I'm newly married, and it's not you, what are you doing with these polite words?"

A sultry tone.

Chu Shaoyuan smiled lightly and walked out of the flower hall according to his meaning, while Zhang Zhong was already waiting for him outside the flower hall.

After thinking about it carefully, he still took Zhang Zhong to the side room of Lanxin Courtyard.

After he ordered two cups of tea, he asked his subordinates to close the doors and windows tightly, and Zhang Quanshun guarded the outside of the room.

Wei Qing stood aside for a long time, he had just returned from an errand today, and when he came back, he caught up with the wedding banquet of the Xia family's uncle, so he was naturally the first escort by Chu Shaoyuan's side.

The room was very quiet, only the sound of the tea cup gently hitting the lid of the tea bowl, crisp and crisp.

Chu Shaoyuan raised his head from the silence, his eyes locked on Zhang Chong, "What the hell is going on? Shouldn't the drawings be in the military department? How did they get to you? How many people know about this trick flowing out of you?"

The questions were one after another, and the voice also rose from the initial low one after another, and by the last sentence, it had sunk a little harshly, almost scaring Zhang Zheng's courage apart.

Zhang Chong's heart trembled, and he was a little confused by Chu Shaoyuan's calm attitude, he originally thought that no matter who it was, when he heard such a big thing, he should always ask how many drawings there were, and why did he come to Prince An, but he didn't expect Prince An to be so stern as soon as he opened his mouth, and the questions were sharper than the other, and the last sentence almost asked the crux of the problem.

Yes, the confusion of Zhang Repeat back then was about the technique of bracketing.

Zhang Zhong tried his best to make himself look calmer, took the tea cup and gently put two sips into his mouth, suppressing the uneasiness and fear in his heart, and then the matter was originally 1510.

It turned out that as early as more than ten years ago, the Ministry of Industry had taken over the manufacture of such weapons as the art of machine bracketing, and it was the idea of the King of Thailand back then, saying that the Ministry of Industry had a lot of skilled craftsmen, and most of the weapons and munitions had to be built by hand, so the Ministry of Industry took over a series of ordnance and larger military equipment, and some siege ladders were also made by the Ministry of Industry.

At that time, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry was not Xie Ningyuan, or Lin Baixuan, and he was just a newly promoted squire, and the most work he did on weekdays was nothing more than running errands and cooking the manufacturing of these military industries.

But he was unwilling to be subordinated to others for such a long time, and Wang Xu, one of the two waiters of the Ministry of Industry at that time, was not a good person at all, he relied on the ordnance drawings in his own hands, so he ignored a cadre of people, and even turned his head to suppress the rest of the Ministry of Industry to the point of no future, and he himself quietly took refuge in the King of Thailand, and dedicated all the drawings to the King of Thailand.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhong has always been responsible for the manufacture of the art of bracketing, although he was unknown back then, but he also thought about fighting for the dragon's work, so he secretly recorded the secret recipe for the production of these brackets, and wanted to secretly take refuge in the past, so that after the king of Thailand ascended the throne, he could remember his benefits.

It's a pity that he thought of presenting the drawings, Lin Baixuan was removed from his official position, and he was still charged with greedy ink, and Wang Xu was also exiled on the same charge, he was just happy, and felt that this was a good opportunity for him, and when he made up his mind to go to the palace of the king of Thailand, he heard someone say that the king of Thailand forced the palace, he was very scared at the time, and he only walked half the way, and immediately turned around and went home.

The next day, when he learned that Prince Rui, that is, Chen Jing, the current emperor's guard, shot the king of Thailand with an arrow, he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and he was sick for several days.

Shangshu became Xie Ningyuan, and the squire promoted Zhao Guangyao to come up with him to be a squire, although the Ministry of Industry was not a complete change of blood, but it was also somewhat rectified, and those lazy officials in the past, under Xie Ningyuan's rectification, also put away their previous style.

What is called a son of heaven and a courtier, that's what he said at that time.

Thinking about it now, Zhang Chong still feels that he was more frightened at that time than now, but most of them were not in danger.

It's just that at that time, he was bolder than now, he knew that the court was reorganized at that time, and he also knew that the positions of several cabinet elders were empty, and he had been in the Ministry of Industry for so long, so he naturally wanted to climb up again, so he took advantage of the fact that Qin Bohou Chen Jing was going to Fujian to take office, and took a few drawings to have a deep friendship with Chen Jing, and naturally said a few words of hush and warmth, and then gave him the drawings, and also wanted to hope that he could say a few words to him in front of Emperor Wen.

Who knew that Chen Jing didn't know each other at all, so he turned his head and almost gave the Ministry of Works.

It was Xie Ningyuan who tried his best to suppress this matter, and promised him that no matter how big or small the matter was, the Ministry of Industry would come to Fujian first, so he raised his hand and let Zhang Zhong go once.

Although this bracket technique is not very secret, if someone wants to achieve such power, it must be tried for several years to test the most suitable one, and what he holds in his hand is the top bracket technique, which will naturally make people blush.

But at that time, he was taught a lesson, and he dared to show it, so he had to sit in the position of the squire for so many years.

Listening to Zhang Chong's intermittent recollection of this paragraph, Chu Shaoyuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He really wanted to scold Zhang Chong and wanted to beat Zhang Chong, such a confidential thing, he dared to buy and sell it as if it were his personal belongings, and even used it in exchange for a promotion from the top of his career, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, if the officials of Dayan were like Xie Jianning, why worry about Dayan not being strong and strong, why worry about the Tartars who were eyeing outside the Yanmen Pass, and the Buyeo people who were far away in Goguryeo!

He endured it so hard that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he looked at Zhang Zhong coldly at the moment, and said: "When people are trying to achieve their goals, they can do anything, which is really terrifying," he turned his face sideways, not wanting to look at Zhang Chong anymore, sighed lightly in his mouth, and said, "If you beg me to save your life, I hope Qin Bohou will not poke this matter out, I am afraid that I will not be able to help you, if you have something other than political affairs, you can still talk about it." ”

Zhang Chong was in good spirits at that time, he was afraid that Chu Shaoyuan would not agree this time, and he didn't know what method he would use to gain his trust next time.

He said repeatedly: "No, you don't need the prince to rescue, the minister will be dug up by someone, and the minister will also have a way to save himself, but if the minister can't take care of his own family anymore, please also ask the prince to take care of my family for the sake of the minister dedicating the whole book to you." ”

It stands to reason that his request is not excessive, but Chu Shaoyuan inexplicably feels a little disgusted.

One or two are like this, Qin Bohou was also for his family at that time, and Anbei Hou and Anbei Hou's son, who died in prison, were also for their families in the final analysis, but if they really had a place for their family in their hearts, then they shouldn't have taken such a risk to do such a dangerous thing.

Chu Shaoyuan said in a deep voice: "What else is there besides this matter? Who else have you given the drawings to?"

He always felt that Zhang Zhong would not let the opportunity go so easily.

Sure enough, Zhang Chong hesitated before he raised his head and said: "There is also Hou Weijie of Anbei, the original minister didn't know his ......"
