Chapter 114: The Truth That Drops My Jaw
The things were made, and they went directly into the palace to tell the good news to their father and brother.
"Father." When I entered the imperial study, the joy in my eyes was revealed.
"How?" Mu Haoyu looked at his youngest daughter with a smile, "Something good happens." The box in the youngest daughter's hand attracted her attention.
"Good stuff." Open the box and take out the piece of iron wrapped in silk cloth.
"What is this, oddly shaped?" Mu Haoyu took the thing in his hand, looked over and over again, and didn't see any use.
"Guns." How to hold it before the godfather emperor.
"Guns? Not like it? "Guns don't all have long and pointed heads, this piece of iron is unreliable, Mu Haoyu is not optimistic about the things in his hand.
"It's not a spear, it's a pistol, wait and call the royal brother to test the gun together." explained: "This is more powerful than a bow and crossbow, like a small thunderbolt, shot by the barrel of a gun, more stable and faster than throwing it by hand, the marbles will explode, there is a test firing effect, okay." ”
"Oh, that's amazing." Mu Haoyu studied carefully for a long time, and his youngest daughter explained the use of the things in his hand.
Mu Jinming hurried back to the palace, and as soon as he entered the imperial study, he saw that he was also there, saluted, got up and asked, "Did you make something good?" "Otherwise, there is no need to rush to call yourself back.
"You're right." Mu Haoyu beckoned to his youngest son, and handed out the things in his hand, "Look at it, the result of Chao'er staying in the Ministry of Industry for a month." ”
"What is this?" It looked weird, and the weight in his hand was not light, Mu Jinming looked left and right, and couldn't see what it was for.
I told Mu Jinming again, "The second one is being done, and it's best to stay by your side to defend yourself." ”
"Then let's go and try it." Mu Jinming was eager to try it and couldn't put it down to study the things in his hand.
The three of them entered through the secret passage, because there would be a sound when testing the gun, in order to prevent disturbing everyone in the palace, they chose a deserted courtyard in the shade of the remote cold palace of the palace.
Holding the handle of the gun slightly adjusted his posture, the trigger was active, and an explosion sounded. The projectile ejected and flew straight towards the grass target.
It didn't hit the bull's-eye, and the projectile exploded instantly, splashing sparks and igniting the grass target, which was placed at a distance of five meters, and the first test launch was acceptable.
Saw the power of the gun. Mu Jinming's heart was surging and he couldn't hide his smile: "Even a master can't dodge it, but it's a little louder." "It's a little louder than firecrackers.
"It will improve." Have faith.
"Let me try." Mu Jin's eyes flashed, and she walked to her side impatiently.
He handed the gun to Mu Jinming, taught him how to use it, and stepped aside.
Probably because of the first time they accepted new things, Mu Jinming and Mu Haoyu's first test shot missed the bull's-eye, but they didn't miss the target, which was already very good.
The grass target was moved to a distance of ten meters, and the three of them tried it next to each other, and as the grass target moved back to increase the distance, the distance of the range was tried. Twenty meters is already the limit.
"It's not very convenient to reload the projectile." Mu Jinming put forward some of his views on guns.
"With a spring, you can make a magazine, and you don't have to reload it one by one." The feasibility has been discussed with the craftsman.
"Inferior to a bow and arrow in distance." The power is impeccable, but the range is not far enough, and it is not as convenient as a bow and arrow, and a variety of ideas instantly appeared in Mu Jinming's mind.
"The projectile is small and light after all." If only you could make bullets. Perhaps he has improved, frowning slightly and thinking about the shortcomings of the gun.
"I'm talking about it when I go back." Mu Haoyu interrupted the discussion of the two children.
The three of them returned to the imperial study, and after a while, there were more twists and turns on the kung fu table.
took a sip of hot tea, picked up a fold and flipped through it, the corners of his eyebrows immediately raised, and he handed the fold to Mu Jinming.
"How?" Mu Jinming wondered how to hand it to herself, so she took it and took a look. Happy, why can't these people live a comfortable life calmly for a few days, and think about some stupid things to get promoted and get rich all day long.
I don't use my brain to think about it, whether it's useful to do this, people who don't hit the south wall and don't look back have grass in their heads.
"What is written?" Mu Haoyu asked, and the two children looked strange. It doesn't look like something is wrong.
"Someone asked for a concubine for the third prince." Concisely and concisely state what is written on the fold.
"Really?" is not small, Mu Haoyu smiled, this kind of inferior temptation method is also worthy of use.
"My father has not decided for a long time to break the rumors in the market, and it is normal for some people to sit still." Mu Jinming could see at a glance that it was the handiwork of the eldest prince Mu Zhao, even if it wasn't the impatient officials under Mu Zhao.
"The eldest prince doesn't have to do anything. The people below will do everything they can to curry favor with the master, and they will seek to solve the problems for the master above. "People die for money, birds die for food, and the eternal rules of death, so I think.
"It's really hard to say whether it's a problem or not, don't make it pleasing and suffer from it." Mu Jinming smiled so badly that it was called ill-intentioned.
"Borrowing the topic to play or borrowing a knife to kill?" looked at Mu Jinming with interest.
"It's not up to me, my father has the final say." Mu Jinming put the fold back in its place.
"Alright, go about your business." Mu Haoyu drove people impatiently, the division of forces between the DPRK and China has not improved much, and it seems that he still needs to move.
"Yes, the retainers are retired." Mu Jinming was ordered to retreat, and did not forget to say goodbye when leaving.
"Chao'er, what do you think?" Mu Haoyu pulled out another book of excerpts, which also meant that the third prince had reached the age of a concubine.
"The reason why the ministers of the DPRK and the central government are here is not to solve problems for their father." Kick the problem directly to someone else.
"Hehe, you're right." Why do you have to do it too absolutely, causing Mu Zhao's backlash, Mu Haoyu reconsidered the method of suppressing Mu Zhao's faction.
"In the unlikely event that the courtiers unanimously agree to play the matter, even if it is to test the emperor's attitude towards the rumors, how will you respond?" It is not difficult for Mu Haoyu to imagine that the ministers fell into Mu Zhao's heart and pondered.
"You can't use your young age as an excuse." Mu Haoyu looked at his little daughter, waiting for her little daughter's opinion.
"Father forgot that the third prince has been weak since he was a child, and the imperial doctor once said that he should not get close to a woman until he became an adult." Give what you think is the most reasonable reason.
"You, aren't you a woman?" Mu Haoyu laughed at the excuse that her little daughter had found.
"My father is making fun of me again." Helplessly: "I haven't finished yet." "Besides, women are not just women.
"The minister was not surprised to death when he heard this." Mu Haoyu said with a smile: "If you are not in good health, you will have no chance with the throne, if this handle is sent out, those people's hearts will bloom, and they will bite to death in the future." ”
"The responsibility of the hospital should be reflected at that time." He didn't care and said: "If it really doesn't work, let the imperial doctor say that the eldest prince will not lift it, and see who dares to hold the tree of the eldest prince and not let go." ”
Mu Haoyu laughed out loud after hearing this, pinched his little daughter's cheek and teased: "You are the most ruthless." Saying that a man does not lift is more human than killing him. ”
"Not all of these problems are solved." Knowing that his father and emperor did not go to erase Mu Zhao's existence, at least until Mu Zhao did not step in Mu Rong's footsteps, he would not have murderous intentions, one was to set up a strong opponent for Mu Jinming to hone his ability, means and mind, and the other was flesh and blood after all. No matter how much I don't want to see him, there is also a meager family affection, as long as Mu Zhao abides by his duty, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, once he has the idea of not moving, his father has to kill him to get rid of future troubles.
"You're right, no courtiers who are willing to sit on the throne can't pass on the heir, and those people are still waiting to send their daughters into the palace as concubines and concubines to become the help of the family." Mu Haoyu sighed: "Even though Mu Zhao now has two children, one is frail and the other has not yet been born, both of them are not high. After all, if he can't sit in that position, Mu Zhao will also be slumped because of this, and it will be difficult to have the mind to fight. ”
"Have you ever thought that Mu Zhao lost the throne and suddenly did something to break the net in anger." Mu Haoyu felt inexplicably worried in his heart.
"For the sake of glory and wealth, for the future prosperity of myself and my family. Those officials will keep an eye on Mu Zhao to prevent him from going crazy and doing crazy things, because there is only one heir left in the royal family, and they will definitely keep the three princes safe for their own future. "I can expect the tense and complicated hearts of the people at that time.
"Not necessarily." Mu Haoyu sighed lightly, "You forgot a person, he is also qualified to sit on the throne." If something happens to the three princes, those people are happy to elect puppets with direct royal blood to ensure that their selfishness will not come to naught. ”
"Duanwang Muyun." Soon deduced the person in the mouth of the father.
"Yes, Mu Yun." Mu Haoyu's eyes were clouded, "Don't underestimate him." ”
"In this way, Duanwang will be the biggest winner." Said thoughtfully: "King Duan has never shown his desire for the throne. "Is it pretending to be too similar or is there another reason.
"The will of the first emperor is that only the king shall not participate in politics without a fief. There are few guards in their hands. Mu Haoyu solved the doubts of the youngest daughter.
"King Duan is not the son of the former emperor or King Duan angered the first emperor, and the first emperor couldn't bear to kill him when he thought of the relationship between father and son, leaving him with his life." Say your own inferences.
"Why do you think that?" Mu Haoyu wanted to cry without tears when he heard this, "Where did you hear this?" ”
"Isn't that right?" This time, it was the turn of surprise, "the inevitable basis for the internal struggle of the royal family in history." Isn't there such an example in the historical materials, otherwise there would be a blood test. ”
Mu Haoyu was angry and funny, and pointed at his little daughter's head and said: "You read some messy miscellaneous books, how can there be these things you said in the official history, what you said is only in the history of the wild, the official history is all written by the superior with the consent of the historian, the events in the history of the wild are not all true, I really don't know where you got these crooked theories." ”
"What is that, there must be a reason, otherwise the emperor would not be able to trap the king in the capital." Trust your own judgment.
"My father didn't know the inside story, at that time, my father was being hunted down and killed, and he was worried every day, so he couldn't care about other people's affairs, until his father ascended the throne, and the emperor made an order to set the king's affairs before the big line." Mu Haoyu didn't suspect it at the beginning, he was also afraid that his father was forced to succeed to the throne out of desperation, as for Duanwang's intention to stay in Beijing, he only thought of the possibility of competing for the throne at that time, even if Duanwang had no power in his hands, he was afraid that he would not be able to sit on the throne at that time, so he sent secret guards to monitor day and night, and he kept speeding up the gathering of power in the court.
"Most of the old ministers who followed the emperor have passed away, and even the subordinates around King Duan have also changed, and all the clues have been broken, and the matter is unknown." Mu Haoyu has not been able to solve the mystery until now, although he has regrets, he has not delved into it.
"That's mostly the case with royal secrets." He didn't care much and said: "Are there any clues in the relics of the former emperor, do you know that the henchmen who followed the former emperor are alive?" ”
"It's all with the funeral." Mu Haoyu sighed helplessly, "The emperor's will before he died." ”
"Then my guess is definitely possible." He said with great confidence: "The idea that the secret is to be brought into the coffin is deep-rooted, and what kind of thing can be erased." ”
"Did the emperor say that he wouldn't let his father attack King Duan?" Asked.
"Yes, I said it." But then he didn't believe that King Duan would not pose a threat to his position.
"That's right." I'm sure of my guess.
"Impossible, the secret guard once took the blood of King Duan, and the blood test proved that he was the emperor's heir." Mu Haoyu: He has done all the possible ideas.
"A blood test can't be detected at all." There are memories in the head.
"How is that possible?" Mu Haoyu was hit by his youngest daughter's words, "There will be no problem with the dark guard." ”
"There's no problem with the Dark Guard. It's the method that's problematic. "Carefully recall the truth of the blood test, and explain it to my father in the language.
After thinking about it again and again, he decided to speak with facts, and beckoned to Li Desheng, who was dressed transparently, and commanded, "Father-in-law Li." I want a bowl of water and silver needles. ”
Li Desheng was also curious about what His Royal Highness would do, and after a while, he took the things he wanted, and the things he took from him personally, and there was no one else's hand in the middle, so he was absolutely safe.
"Grandpa Li comes first." He motioned for Li Desheng to drip blood into a bowl full of water.
Li Desheng did not doubt that he had him, and pricked his index finger with a silver needle and squeezed a drop of blood into the bowl.
directly reached out to prick himself with a needle, but was immediately stopped by Mu Haoyu, "Who are you?" ”
"It's okay, just let my father's eyes be believing." Give a reassuring look.
Mu Haoyu has no way to take his little daughter. Forget it, since the little daughter looks like she has a bamboo in her chest, there must be something weird, let's take a look.
Piercing his fingers, he squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped it into the bowl, and saw that the two drops of blood in the bowl were pressed together.
"This, this ......" Li Desheng was frightened. Busy said: "It's impossible, the thing was prepared by the minion and no one has touched it." ”
"Father-in-law Li is a little safe." Pulling his father's hand, he pricked the silver needle and squeezed it in the bowl.
During Mu Haoyu's stunned moment, his own blood was squeezed into the bowl by his little daughter, and as soon as he came back to his senses and was about to speak, he saw that the blood in the bowl melted together again.
"Melted. Melting, this, this ......" Gonggong Li will be happy and worried, it is not enough to express the heart of the fluttering and beating fast at this moment, it is incredible.
"Look, it's melting. What does this mean. He said confidently: "It shows that the method of blood test cannot be detected at all, if my father does not believe it, he can find someone to try it again." ”
Mu Haoyu's heart was turbulent, and according to the youngest daughter's statement, it was possible that King Duan was not of royal blood. He was a little afraid to think about it.
Afraid that his father would not believe it, he simply asked Gonggong Li to bring two bowls of water, and beckoned to the beam above his head, "There are four secret guards." "It is not easy for those outside to be alarmed, but there is no shortage of those in the temple.
In the distance of Mu Haoyu's thoughts, the secret guards lined up to drip blood, and they also thought this thing was interesting, and wanted to see if they could all be combined.
Li Desheng's low cry disturbed Mu Haoyu, and when he looked again, he saw that the blood in the two extra bowls on the table had been blended, and such a strange fact was hard to shock.
"The two of them together, the two of them together, and Gonggong Li dropped it again." Pointing to the situation in the two bowls, it was clear at a glance and there was no need to say more.
The dark guards turned over on the beams of the room again, and their hearts were curious, how did His Royal Highness the Winged King know why the method that was regarded as a guideline had unexpected results.
Mu Haoyu looked at his little daughter and couldn't calm down for a long time, he didn't ask his little daughter where she knew that the blood test was fake, she only sighed that her little daughter was really a baby who fell from the sky, if she hadn't inadvertently talked about Duanwang, she would have been confused by the truth she thought she had, but fortunately, it's not too late. By the way, when he talked about it, he remembered another method of recognizing relatives with bones, is this not true?
Under the shaking of his head, everyone in the temple dropped their jaws in shock, and they were taught the deepest lesson.
