Chapter 678: Don't Mess Up
As long as he thought of the fate of the Turks now, Emperor Chengde did not dare to relax. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Rong Jing, you said that Fanbang is small, but he has such a powerful weapon in his hand, and he also records the customs of my Great Xia, and even buys back the grain, what do you say he wants to do?"
Shu Hongxuan almost didn't have to think about it, he opened his mouth and replied, "Father-in-law, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different." The Turks can covet our Great Xia, let alone the small Fanbang state. ”
Emperor Chengde also nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's right, I also think the same way, I can't imagine that there are such powerful foreign Yi coveting Great Xia." ”
"Rong Jing, in your opinion, what should we do?" Emperor Chengde asked seriously.
"Father-in-law, first of all, I think that we can't ban the sea, if the sea is forbidden, of course, we can not let Fanbang come in, but we also lose an opportunity to understand Fanbang."
When Emperor Chengde heard this, he nodded in agreement.
"Second, we can't rest on our laurels, because once we rest on our laurels, we'll end up with the Turks. Since Fanbang has such a weapon, then we might as well try to make it. ”
Emperor Chengde frowned, "But those divine weapons have been used up by Xiao Wu, otherwise you can leave one or two for research and study." ”
"Father-in-law, I listened to Ah Xu's description, in fact, we have made it ourselves, isn't this thing the effect of the amplification of firecrackers?"
Shu Hongxuan knew the formula of gunpowder, but he couldn't take it out, at least not now, but he could let people start thinking about it from the side of firecrackers.
Emperor Chengde thought about it, wrote this point in his heart, and asked the people who would be the prisoners to gather the craftsmen who knew how to make firecrackers to brainstorm together.
"You go on."
Shu Hongxuan continued: "Third, we must build a ship that can be navigated, since Fanbang can come to us to investigate, we can naturally go to Fanbang to steal learning." ”
Emperor Chengde bowed slightly, "This is the same as I thought, but I just want to build a ship that can be navigated, and I don't know how many years it will take." ”
Shu Hongxuan smiled mysteriously, "Father-in-law, why do you have to come forward with the court in everything?" You forget, there is a kind of person in this world who can help us do this easily. ”
Emperor Chengde was curious and asked, "What kind of person is so powerful?" ”
"Merchant!"
Shu Hongxuan chuckled, "Merchants are profit-seeking, as long as you open up the quota for sailing and business, I guarantee that ships that can sail can be built as soon as possible, and there are many people who can help us find out the news of Fanbang." After all, there are many people in the folk. ”
Emperor Chengde slapped his palms, "Wonderful! That's a good idea! ”
"Father-in-law, that's all Rong Jing can think of."
Sometimes, you have to learn to hide your clumsiness, even if you really know a lot, and pretend that you don't know the same.
Emperor Chengde pondered for a while, and shouted loudly, "Cai Sande!" ”
Cai Sande hurriedly walked in, and listened to Emperor Chengde's instructions: "Go to Prince Xuan, Xiao Wu, Chu Xiang, Second Fu, Zhou Jingming, Xia Qing, and Hubu Shangshu to enter the palace." ”
He will summon men to discuss the affairs of the kingdom.
......
"Did you get any message?"
The third prince asked the second prince sitting opposite with a gloomy face.
"What's the news?" The second prince was stunned.
"Don't you know that the father emperor summoned His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiao Wu, Chu Xiang, Second Assistant, Zhou Jingming, Xia Qing, and Hubu Shangshu into the palace?"
If he couldn't even receive such news, the third prince would simply want to poke his eyes blind and choose such an ally.
The second prince said as a matter of course: "Of course I received the news. ”
Then the second prince had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and exclaimed, "Could it be that my father knew that we were doing something in it, and he summoned people into the palace to discuss our affairs?" ”
Otherwise, why did only the prince and the fifth prince be summoned separately among the princes, and the maternal grandfather of the third prince was missing among the ministers?
The second prince's face was slightly pale, and there was a kind of panic in his eyes, and his fingers trembled.
The third prince's face was also good, and he asked the second prince very seriously again, "Are the tails of your hands really cleaned up?" ”
The second prince nodded without thinking about it, "I have checked all aspects, and there is no hand or foot that can be exposed." ”
"It's the same on my side, and in that case, we can't mess with ourselves first. This kind of thing can't happen to us.
As for why we and my grandfather were not summoned to the palace, it may just be that we are not suitable, so don't think about it. ”
The third prince said this, I don't know if he was comforting himself or appeasing the second prince.
The two sat opposite each other in silence until the curfew was approaching in the evening, when they got the latest news that the prince and others had come out of the palace.
The third prince immediately sent someone to find out what happened to them entering the palace, but the result made him feel very bad.
He couldn't find out what these people had discussed when they entered the palace, and they didn't reveal the slightest bit of information.
Zhou Tingyu followed Shu Hongxuan out of the palace gate, Zhou Tingyu got into Shu Hongxuan's carriage, and he wanted to discuss something with his eldest brother.
"Uncle, in the middle of the afternoon, I was still telling Hua'er that I want to discuss with you about your clay pot, but I didn't expect that after squinting at home for a while, my father summoned us to discuss the affairs of Fanbang."
Zhou Tingyu gave Shu Hongxuan a thumbs up, he hadn't looked for his eldest brother yet, and the eldest brother had passed the test safely by himself.
Shu Hongxuan shook his head with a smile, "This matter has not yet been discussed to a conclusion, you can't talk about it." ”
Before going out, Emperor Chengde told everyone not to leak secrets.
Zhou Tingyu squeezed his eyebrows at Shu Hongxuan, "Hua'er is not an outsider, right?" ”
Shu Hongxuan glanced at him angrily, "Although Hua Niang is not an outsider, but before this matter is decided, it is better not to talk too much, the wall has ears." ”
If you want to make a big move against overseas countries, you will have to prepare for more than ten or twenty years before that, and you will have to consume the money of the national treasury, and you may not be able to see results, and this kind of thing will definitely be opposed by many courtiers.
Otherwise, why did Emperor Chengde just summon a few of them? It's not just that these people are loyal to Emperor Chengde, but also because they are not short-sighted and can accept this kind of precaution.
Anyway, after they finally come up with a complete set of articles, they will also announce it in the court, so why rush?
Zhou Tingyu shrugged his shoulders and did not refute.
"Uncle, I want to hear your opinion on the matter of the border city."
Zhou Tingyu revealed his intentions.
"Then let's go to the Prince's Mansion, I haven't seen Hua Niang and Xiao Deyin for a long time, if it's too late, then I'll stay with you for the night."
Shu Hongxuan instructed Qingmo to go back to the house and talk to his wife, and the carriage turned to the prince's mansion.
Zhou Tingyu: This one looks like his master more than him......

Good morning, anyway, I forgot about the treasure ball, how many treasure balls, how about getting a haberdashery?
