In the Daning Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, the craftsmen perform their duties. The handymen and helpers of the various workshops ran in small steps, carrying wood, stone and finished products on their shoulders.

Carpenters and stonemasons occasionally see handymen coming in and out. Only in the blacksmith's workshop, the handyman cannot enter.

Only craftsmen and apprentices can enter and exit the workshop with the help of the waist card. When the handyman heard the call, he had to wait outside the door, and the craftsman would deliver the well-made farm tools and transformed weapons to the door, and then the handyman would move them into the warehouse.

Workshops for repairing and remodelling firearms were more strictly regulated than blacksmiths, and even apprentices of craftsmen were restricted from entering.

The Daning Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau did not have a workshop for the manufacture of gunpowder, and all the medicines used for firearms were distributed by the Ordnance Bureau.

The town guards one side, and the power in his hands is greater, but he needs to be more careful in doing things.

Zhu Gaoxu can create a large number of fire and thunder without prior communication, and just admit his mistake to Zhu Di afterwards. Meng Dare to learn to do, 100% will not see the sun of the second year of Yongle.

The Son of Heaven's guard of honor stayed outside the miscellaneous bureau, and Zhu Di ordered the guards to follow.

Zhu Gaosui was familiar with the way and took over Meng's work as a commentator. The ambassador and deputy envoy of the Miscellaneous Bureau consciously retreated to the gang and used it as a background.

If you want to show in front of the Son of Heaven, it's not now.

Steal the limelight from King Zhao? It's definitely too long.

There is Zhu Gaosui on top of the emperor in front of him, and Meng is not necessarily relaxed.

Zhu Gaoxu, Shen Xuan, and fellow military generals also have many problems.

Seeing the re-planning, the work efficiency is significantly higher than that of the Daning Miscellaneous Bureau in other places, and the performance of each person is different. Some people don't think so, while others are full of interest, asking all kinds of questions, and even seeing the joy of hunting, they roll up their sleeves and are about to rush to the workshop.

Fortunately, he was stopped by the handyman at the door, otherwise, something would have happened.

The heat in the blacksmith is unbearable for ordinary people. The person in front of him has already passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, with a large white beard and a wrinkled face, and if he goes in, he will shed his skin if he is not roasted.

Looking at the old gentleman who jumped into high school, Meng wiped his cold sweat, not knowing what to say.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites, however, were interested in striking iron, and had also written agricultural works, and their mental arithmetic ability made the officials of the Ministry of Household Officials bow down.

Is this called all-rounder?

Meng Shishilang scratched his chin, the civil official of the Ming Dynasty is really quite characterful, and he can't accept it.

Standing in front of the blacksmith workshop, Zhu Gaosui said with his eyebrows fluttering.

No wonder His Royal Highness King Zhao was too excited, when planning this workshop, he put forward a lot of opinions and made considerable efforts. Let my dad see the results of his hard work, and the sense of accomplishment is by no means ordinary.

"Father, the son estimates that if the method of frying iron can be improved, the tools and weapons produced by the various miscellaneous bureaus can be doubled, and the number can be as many as three or four times."

With a top boss like Meng, Daning has become a down-to-earth doer. Everything likes to speak with facts, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao. Whoever dares to fake the big air, without Meng opening his mouth, the contemptuous gaze of his colleagues will poke through, and it will become a fishing net instead of a sieve.

In this truth-seeking and pragmatic environment, Zhu Gaosui has also been somewhat affected.

There is something to say, there is a purpose, coupled with the beautiful imagination of Kaiyuan and Guangning, when he speaks, King Zhao's eyes are shining.

Zhu Di was surprised by Zhu Gaosui's changes, and then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who had also changed a lot, and nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, if the jade is not cut, the son will not be able to become a talent!

It's okay, I still have to smoke a few meals.

From Zhu Di's satisfied expression and the laughter from time to time, the brothers could feel their father's good mood. I don't know what Daddy is thinking.

Zhilu said...... I didn't dare to raise objections.

The accompanying civil and military officers made fun from time to time, and said, "The Son of Heaven is sage, and he knows how to make good use of people." Xingningbo is dedicated to the country and is a model for our generation. ”

Zhu Di nodded, summoned Meng to the front, and praised him for his bold innovation, courage to try, and hard work in Daning City. The effectiveness of the work was also recognized.

"Your Majesty, this is not the work of one minister. The Daning Metropolitan Division has done their best to achieve success, and His Royal Highness King Zhao has made great contributions. ”

Zhu Di stroked his beard and smiled: "My son, I know. I also know how the Daning Dusi is. Without Aiqing, there would be no today. Aiqing doesn't have to be humble. ”

Meng Zaibai, "Don't dare to praise your majesty." ”

"Aiqing deserves it."

As he spoke, everyone's attention was on the Son of Heaven, but Shen Xuan suddenly turned his head sideways, and his gaze swept sharply to the corner of the workshop.

Two handymen were carrying a bundle of farm tools out of the carpenter's workshop.

The Son of Heaven decreed that during the visit, there was no need to stop work in the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau. Except for the craftsmen who were summoned for questioning, everyone else should do what to do. It is normal for handymen to enter and exit the workshop.

The two miscellaneous servants were not unusual, and there were Yu Linwei and Jin Wuwei nearby, and Shen Xuan's intuition was still wrong.

"Zhou Qianhu." Shen Xuan took a step sideways, summoned Yulin Wei Qianhu, who was traveling with him, and commanded in a low voice, "Don't alarm others." ”

"Obey."

Zhou Qianhu turned around and ordered a hundred households to lead people to stop the two handymen and take them down.

If you make a mistake, the holy car will leave to appease.

If there is a real problem, it must not be let go.

Shen Xuan's actions attracted Zhu Gaoxu's attention, and when he saw several Yu Linwei walking towards the miscellaneous servants, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong in his heart.

Both are generals who are accustomed to fighting on the battlefield and have an instinctive intuition about danger.

"Marquis Dingyuan, take a step to speak."

"Does Your Highness have any orders?"

"Those two ......"

Before the words fell, a loud noise suddenly came from ahead

In the choking smoke, flaming wooden poles and broken stones flew everywhere.

The flames scorched the wooden poles, making a crisp cracking sound.

Several of the Yulin guards who were close to them fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Half of the two handymen had been blown away, and black blood was splattered on the ground.

"Escort!"

Zhu Gaoxu and Shen Xuan shouted at the same time, and Zhu Gaosui immediately blocked in front of Zhu Di. None of the military generals retreated, and they all looked around vigilantly, surrounding Zhu Di.

Hearing the explosion-explosion-explosion-sound, Meng instantly frowned.

The matter is in the miscellaneous bureau, and the people here are afraid that none of them can get rid of it. The first thing to bear the brunt of is yourself.

The smoke cleared slightly, and Yu Linwei immediately stepped forward to check.

The explosion-explosion alarmed the craftsmen in the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, and they poured out of the workshop one after another, and when they saw the scene in front of them, their hands and feet were cold, and their faces turned pale.

Zhu Di pushed away his son who was blocking in front of him, "The bigger battles have not hurt a bit, so there is no need to do this." “

"Father, be careful."

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Get out of the way."

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone didn't let it, and Zhu Di simply did it himself.

Without waiting for everyone's persuasion, two black dots suddenly flew out of the craftsman, and the tail was burning with sparks.

"Fire Thunder!"

Everyone didn't care whether they committed it or not, and the few generals who were close to him simply set up Zhu Di and strode back.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is important."

Zhu Nengjia is on the left, Zhang Fujia is on the right, Zhu Gaosui is bold and hugs his waist directly.

The fire thunder landed, and immediately several figures flew up and pressed tightly.

Meng organized the guards to surround the place where the fire and thunder flew out, and at the same time picked up the bucket and scooped up the water and splashed it at the smoking Yu Linwei and Jin Wuwei.

In order to prevent fires, there are deep wells in the miscellaneous construction bureau, and several water tanks are set up in the corners.

Meng's actions reminded everyone that some people thought that the water was too slow, so they picked up the water tank with others, and the water tank tilted, and the water flooded the mountain in an instant.

The explosion-explosion-sound did not sound again, and the silver medal killers who desperately escorted the car stood up one by one, and they were all drenched like chickens in soup.

The brother who was pressed at the bottom slowly got up, grinning and rubbing his chest.

He wasn't killed, but he was almost crushed to death.

With such a way of dying, don't think about the merits of the war, and it is not even a work injury.

The ambassador of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau immediately stepped forward to check the half-submerged fire and thunder, according to the materials, it was indeed from the Daning Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, but the gunpowder ratio was wrong, and it should be made privately by craftsmen.

When the ambassador reported on the situation, Meng did not breathe a sigh of relief, but his face became even more ugly. can't find out the mastermind at the first time, let alone the miscellaneous bureau, Daning can't run away from the command of the envoys.

Yu Lin Wei and Jin Wuwei began to check the craftsmen, and without much effort, they caught a handyman with a scar on his face.

Recently, the Miscellaneous Bureau has not made any more fire mines, only he has a pungent smell of gunpowder on his body, even if he is not the mastermind, he is also an insider.

"Wait." Meng stopped Yu Linwei, "Check if there are any firearms first." ”

Yu Linwei received the order, and only a wooden dagger was found on the handyman's body, and nothing else.

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and kicked on the shoulder of the miscellaneous servant, who fell to the ground crookedly, his face even more distorted.

"Who are you? Dare to stab the Son of Heaven, what a boldness! ”

The miscellaneous servant coughed twice, raised his head, glared at Zhu Gaoxu, and said, "It's just a villain who usurped power and seized the throne, without a king and a father!" Everyone in the world will be punished! ”

"You!"

Zhu Gaoxu was furious, and his violent personality once again prevailed.

The so-called nature of the country is easy to change, and no matter how much it grows, the habit of cutting people at every turn has not been completely changed.

Zhu Di stopped Zhu Gaoxu.

"Father?"

"I have something to ask him."

Zhu Gaoxu also knew that this miscellaneous servant couldn't be killed, but when his temper came up, he really hated to cut him into several sections.

"Listen to your words, you should be a scholar." Zhu Di looked at the miscellaneous servants, "Recruit the conspirators, I will give you a good time." ”

"Haha......"

Before Zhu Di finished speaking, the handyman suddenly laughed.

"How dare a traitor call himself a lonely man?!" The miscellaneous servant was pressed to the ground by Yu Linwei, unable to stand, and was kicked by Zhu Gaoxu to break his bones, his whole arm drooped, and the hatred in his eyes was even worse, "Traitor, you will not die well!" I can't kill you today, and he will have a strong man to succeed me one day! Welcome back to the Son of Heaven and respect orthodoxy! ”

"Shut up!"

"You can kill one of me, but you can't kill the loyal and righteous people in the world! Can't stop the mouth of the world! ”

"I told you to stop!"

Zhu Di's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, he closed his eyes fiercely, and then opened them again, his gaze suddenly cold. The words of the handyman touched his most sensitive nerves.

"Zheng He, take the person down, hand it over to Jinyiwei, don't let him die."

"Yes."

"Feng Daning Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, detain the ambassador and deputy envoy of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, and check whether there is any accomplice."

"Yes."

"Cha Daning commanded the envoys, and the rear army supervised Meng, seized the seal, and went down to the Beijing Criminal Department."

"Yes!"

Under the order of the Son of Heaven, Meng was taken off the black veil, except for the gold belt, and knelt on the ground, and the robe was not left for him.

Shen Xuan and Zhu Gaosui knelt down to plead, Zhu Di's eyes were cold, and his tone was even colder, "If there is a pleading, it will be complicit!" ”

The Son of Heaven was furious, and the corpse was thousands of miles away.

What does it mean to turn your face and not recognize people, Meng has seen it thoroughly.

Shen Xuan and Zhu Gaosui were both stopped, and Zhu Gaoxu asked to escort Meng back to Beiping.

Zhu Di pleased.

Behind him, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhu Gaosui and Shen Xuan, and was a little calm. If his father really wanted to deal with Xingningbo, he would not take him to the Beijing Criminal Department, but directly handed him over to Jinyiwei to escort him back to Nanjing.

That night, Meng was temporarily imprisoned in the chamber of King Ning's mansion, guarded by the Son of Heaven's personal guards.

Zhu Gaosui wanted to visit the prison, but was stopped by Zhu Gaoxu.

"Someone assassinated, Xingningbo guarded one side, and he must be responsible."

"......"

"How many people are staring at him?" Zhu Gaoxu lowered his voice, "My father took the official seal of Xingning Bo, but he did not remove the knight. ”

Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Look at Dingyuan Hou and calm down." Zhu Gaoxu patted Zhu Gaosui on the shoulder, "This matter is by no means as simple as it seems. The father locked up Xingningbo at this time, maybe he still saved his life. ”

Zhu Gaosui clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he found out who was making trouble behind his back, and he must have been widowed!

In the chamber, Meng was also pondering.

The official uniform is gone, the hair is scattered, and the water reflects a slightly embarrassed look, and I unconsciously think about the time when I first arrived in Mengjiatun.

It's like a world away.

He said he was detained, but no one came to question him. In addition to not giving clothes, there is no shortage of hot water for meals.

If you really want to peel and cramp, it won't be this attitude.

Calming down, Meng found that the current situation was not bad.

This time, it was too sudden.

Fire and thunder, miscellaneous servants, the Son of Heaven came, and he was assassinated in public.

Could the two dead handymen be accomplices?

The handyman who carried out the assassination did not seem to want to live at all.

The words are righteous and awe-inspiring, but the resentment in his eyes is far more than that. Meng has seen a lot of ministers who reprimanded Emperor Yongle for usurping power and seizing the throne, and they also have hatred, but unlike this miscellaneous servant, they are more worried about the world and unyielding. And the miscellaneous servants stared at it, more like they were looking at the enemy who killed their relatives.

Foe?

Squinting his eyes, he thought back to the scene. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the appearance of the handyman was somewhat familiar.

Remove the scars on your face and be younger...... Meng frowned, really familiar, where have you seen it?

In the carrying hall, Zhu Di sat on the top alone, and Shen Xuan knelt in front of Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

"Xuan'er." Zhu Di stood up and walked up to Shen Xuan, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly, and restore Ningbo's innocence."

"Get up!"

“……”

"Not up?"

Zhu Di glared, stinky boy, playing tricks on him?

Shen Xuan hung his head, but he just didn't get up.

"I know that Xuan'er has a deep friendship with Xingningbo, and I also know that Xingningbo is loyal."

"Your Majesty."

"In order to find out the mastermind, we can only temporarily grieve Xingningbo."

After more than 20 years of battlefield fighting, Zhu Di will not be surprised by one or two assassinations at all, what he cares about is the words of the assassin.

Welcome back to the Son of Heaven and respect orthodoxy.

Who is the Son of Heaven? And who is orthodoxy?

A fire in the Fengtian Temple, the unrecognizable corpse, was a thorn in Zhu Di's heart.

The matter involves Emperor Jianwen, and the clues cannot be let go.

After succeeding to the throne, Zhu Di announced to the world that Emperor Jianwen was dead.

What is the truth, who is buried in the imperial mausoleum, I'm afraid even Zhu Di can't really be sure.

"Xuan'er, I am the Son of Heaven, rich all over the world, but I may not be wanton when I was in the dive house." Zhu Di smiled bitterly, "The courtiers have grievances and are helpless, you can ask me to be the master, who should I find?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, and you can't share your worries for Your Majesty."

"You're already good." Zhu Di raised his hand and patted Shen Xuan's back, "I treat you as a parent, and I can only say some things in front of my son." Above the court......"

Zhu Di didn't continue, Shen Xuan lowered his head and didn't answer.

Replaced by Zhu Gaochi's brothers, at this time, he can say that he has the responsibility to share his father's worries.

Shen Xuan is different.

After all, the righteous son is the righteous son, and no matter how important he is, he must also guard the distinction between the monarch and the minister.

That night, Emperor Yongle and the accompanying Wenwu stayed awake all night.

The next day, a fast horse brought the news of the assassination of the Son of Heaven back to Nanjing.

The express only wrote about the assassination of the Son of Heaven, but did not write whether he was injured or not, and what the injury was. He didn't even write what the Son of Heaven did about this matter. Only the Daning Miscellaneous Bureau was blocked, and the news of Xingningbo's arrest was transmitted back together.

The palace and the court were all shaken.

Empress Xu can send someone to deliver a letter to the Duke of Wei, no matter what, the capital cannot be chaotic.

Jinyiwei commanded Yang Duo to ask to see Empress Xu, and the captain of Beizhen Fusi took the driving post and arrested several officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The Brocade Guard's actions were without warning, and showed no signs of stopping.

Many people can't help but think, are these people arrested related to the assassination of the Son of Heaven?

If you think about it, it doesn't make sense.

Up and down the Ministry of Rites, no one has a personal relationship with Xingningbo, but Liang Zi has made a lot of marriages. If the assassination of the Son of Heaven is carried out, it will not be involved in the Ministry of Rites in any case.

Helplessly, Jinyiwei had a warrant from the Son of Heaven, and no one dared to stop their arrest action.

Soon, even the concubine's brother was also taken to culture, even if he was soon released, it also caused another earthquake in the court.

The princess did not leave the Wenhua Palace, and the mother of the princess entered the palace to ask to see.

After that, the princess asked to see Queen Xu, but Queen Xu did not see her, but only let people pass on the decree, and the princess was skilled in virtue and filial piety, and rewarded ten tribute satins.

The princess took the front foot back to the palace last time, and the back foot was completely closed by the prince. The princess is not allowed to contact outside the palace, and the princess's family must first communicate with him if she wants to see her.

The turmoil in the palace also affected the court.

On the surface, the wind and waves are calm, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent.

Xie Jin and others inquired about the news, but Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong responded to all changes with the same, walking Wenyuan Pavilion every day, and never speaking unless necessary. Insight Jin asked to see Zhu Gaochi several times, and Yang Shiqi shook his head secretly.

Still too anxious.

Just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were paying attention to the movements in the palace, Jinyiwei commanded the servants Li Da and Qianhu Jigang, who had been ordered by Yang Duo to go out of Beijing and secretly go to Nanchang to monitor the movements of King Ning.

At the same time, the holy car has returned to Beiping, and the identity of the assassin has finally been revealed.

"Dupin?"

Meng thought about it carefully, and finally remembered the identity of this person. During the Jingjing, he and Yang Duo infiltrated Texas together, and through this person, they met Li Jinglong and made the other party fall into the scheme.

If it were him, everything would not be difficult to explain.

Why did he feel inexplicably familiar with him, and why did he have so much hatred for Emperor Yongle.

Du Ping's son Du Qi died at the hands of Zhu Di.

At the beginning, Li Jinglong was defeated, fled all the way, and rode back to Beijing alone, and the soldiers under his command were either absorbed by the Yan army or scattered, and Du Ping also disappeared.

I didn't want to, he actually survived the chaos of the army, and went to Daning, incognito, and became a miscellaneous servant of the Miscellaneous Bureau.

"Du Ping has a guide in his hand, and he has the household registration of a craftsman."

Across the wooden fence, Shen Xuan stroked Meng's cheek, "In the Daning Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, there are five craftsmen who are inseparable. In the Daning Division, there are also people involved in this matter. ”

Meng Moran.

Cover the back of Shen Xuan's hand. I know in my heart that the one involved in this matter is definitely not Daning Dusi.

"You ...... before the matter is clarified"

"I know it." Meng smiled, "If you stay here, you can also hide for a while." ”

Shen Xuan was silent, looked at Meng, suddenly got up, pulled out the dagger on his waist, and pried open the lock with a few clicks.

The cell door was opened, people came in, the door was closed, and it was locked.

The jailer who arrived stood outside, his face full of embarrassment, what kind of trouble is Dingyuan Marquis going to make?

Meng was even more embarrassed, especially when he was fished into his arms by Shen Xuan.

From Daning to Beiping, he took a bath, can this also be done?

"I'm hiding with Tjuro."

"Master Hou, there is official business."

"There is a temporary generation of Yuan Fuma."

"Accompaniment?"

"It's okay, there is King Han and King Zhao by the side."

"It's too crowded."

Shen Xuan let go of Meng and kicked down the fence, and the two cells were opened, instantly spacious.

Meng and the jailer raised their arms stupidly together, Dingyuan Hou is mighty!

It is not a trivial matter for Dingyuan Hou to move into the prison of the Criminal Department.

Although it is not a good place, there are no documents, no relevant procedures, and the prison of the criminal department can be lived in?

Pay the room fee, and you can't take care of your own meals!

Shangshu of the Beijing Criminal Department reported to Zhu Di as soon as possible.

Zhu Di didn't speak for a long time, and his hand unconsciously leaned towards his waist.

It seems that there are more than three bear children who owe smoke.
