In the imperial court in front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the white lanterns have been lit.

Jia Qiang and Li Xuan, two unlucky bastards, knelt in the courtyard and let the princes of the clan and the ministers of civil and military affairs watch.

As for Li Xuan, the views of the government and the opposition are basically unified.

The prince of Yilai, because he was the youngest, was favored by Emperor Longan and Empress Yin.

Isolated from the big position, but the first rich and idle king can't run.

As for Jia Qiang......

Different people's opinions vary greatly.

Some people think that he is a stunned man, relying on the shadow of his ancestors, and every time he goes back to make a big fuss, he has to ask the ancestors to knock on the throne.

I don't know how the spirits of Jia Yuan, Jia Yan, and Jia Daishan in the sky will feel when they see that after they die, the divine position has become a divine weapon for the children of the Jia family to launch a death attack......

People who think like this look down on Jia Qiang.

But some people think that Jia Qiang is ruthless, acts at a young age, and has no regard for the consequences, so it is very dangerous.

Thinking about the last time, just because Lin Ruhai's daughter's carriage was burned down, Jia Qiang first besieged the Zhaoguo Mansion, then the Xiongwu Hou Mansion, and finally even surrounded the Prince's Mansion.

This kind of behavior is both crazy and dangerous, and it should be trapped early.

There are also some people who think that Jia Qiang is very insidious, and they used a recipe to pit the Dongsheng Zhao family and the Ruixiang Song family.

Don't talk about the Dongsheng Zhao family, the Ruixiang Song family is really miserable!

Not to mention the money of Fang Zi, who was cheated for 300,000 taels of silver, because he was suspected of cheating Uncle Guo, using Uncle Guo as a knife, and using to coax Tian Fu, which provoked the anger of the Queen Mother Fengyan, and ordered the Song family to fulfill their promise and take out one million taels of silver to Uncle Guo.

Because of this incident, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the six section officials were going crazy, and they were crazy about impeaching Tian Fu one by one.

But since the death of the emperor, the queen mother seems to have changed her temperament greatly, Tian Fu ran to the Shouxuan Hall of Jiuhua Palace to cry, the Tian family was scolded miserably, and he also became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beaten.

As a result, the Queen Mother became more and more stubborn, and she had to force the Song family to bow her head and take the money.

The Song family had no choice but to take out one million taels of silver to Tian Fu.

Stealing chickens does not make rice, and the misery of the Song family makes his old friends in the world have a worse view of Jia Qiang.

But even so, no one thinks that a person like Jia Qiang can gain a foothold in the court and become a big harm.

Because he has no fame or military merit, he can get to where he is today, all because of his luck.

Therefore, for him and Li Xuan to get together, they all think that people are divided into groups.

"Jia Qiang, how is it, the firearms camp is so stubborn?"

Li Xuan whispered.

Jia Qiang's kneeling knee hurt, and seeing that this guy was still laughing, he said, "The prince is kneeling, doesn't his knee hurt?" ”

"Quack!"

When Li Xuan heard this, he happily lowered his voice and laughed happily, reached out and quietly pulled the front hem of the python robe forward, and actually revealed a thick layer of "knee pads" at the knees......

the mother!

Jia Qiang's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "When did you get it?" ”

Li Xuan almost didn't die of laughter, the whole person twitched with laughter, and said: "Lu Feng prepared it at any time, and quietly tied it up when he was out of court." Jia Qiang, are you as smart as me? ”

“……”

Jia Qiang endured the pain and ignored this person.

Li Xuan couldn't bear it, and whispered: "Have you thought about it for a while, why did you say it?" I just said that you want to go, let me tell you in advance, you have a preparation in your heart. ”

Jia Qiangqi said: "What do we want to go to?" ”

Li Xuan said proudly: "Then it can't be said that I want to go, right?" Besides, in front of your father, do you dare to answer first? If the two of us turn against each other and tear each other apart, it will be even worse, and most of us will be beaten by the board and continue to kneel for two hours...... Okay, okay, okay, just make a naughty smile, you're going to turn your face. Ye said that Ye Fei pulled you there, okay? You're really, not funny at all. By the way, you told Zhao Poyu earlier that there is already that kind of firearm called a gun in the West? The one who is not afraid of wind and rain? ”

Jia Qiang said: "The flintlock pistol is Dayan's self-generated firearm. ”

Li Xuan heard the words and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, that's it!" Look, this time, you're carrying it! Remember to owe me a big favor, remember! ”

Jia Qiang was about to reply with a sentence of "I remember a hammer", but saw a waiter from a yellow door come out, let the two of them get up, and Emperor Long An summoned him.

Jia Qiang got up with some difficulty, and looked at the side, Li Xuan, a little dog, actually did the same, stood up with a painful face, and his movements were exaggerated, and he also squeezed his eyebrows at Jia Qiang, obviously teasing him.

Jia Qiang couldn't understand how this prince was as happy as a free-range Erha......

After entering the Heart Cultivation Palace, the two knelt down obediently.

After the imperial case, Emperor Long An looked at the two people who even had the same expression of pain when they knelt down, and they were a little speechless, there was always one of them fake.

On the left side of His Royal Highness, there are Li Jing, the king of Baojun, Li Xiao, the king of Kehuai County, and Li Shi, the king of Kerong County, and the three of them also looked at these two with strange expressions, with different thoughts.

On the right side of His Royal Highness, there is Jing Chaoyun, the minister of military aircraft, Zhang Ji, the secretary of the ministry, and Zhao Dongshan, the left capital of the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Long An ignored the two, but said to Jing Chaoyun and Yan Yuese: "Jing Aiqing, the matter of Jingcha is still watched by you and the two Aiqing. As for Han Bin, Zhang Gu, Dou Xian, Zuo Xiang, Li Han and others, they have only been out of Beijing for half a year, so how can they rush back to Beijing? Such a major event cannot be changed overnight.

I say again, here in me, they are usable ministers, and Aiqing and others are also the pillars of the dynasty. It is said that once the son of heaven was a courtier, and many people also waited for me, spreading rumors that I would wash the old ministers of the first emperor with blood. I want to tell those who want to see the jokes of the court that they are pure wishful thinking! Which time to clean the old ministers, is it not internal friction? What is lost is the luck of the dynasty! I will never do such a thing.

Of course, you are good, especially Jing Aiqing, who is virtuous and worthy of the example of a hundred officials! But it is undeniable that there are also some courtiers, who are really not like it. Don't say that you are a minister, that is, you are not even worthy of being a man.

You are all old ministers, and I don't need to say more, you yourself know who those people are and what they are.

So this time, you have to do it in a down-to-earth manner, don't be afraid of offending people, and don't be afraid of what backstage those people have, I am your backstage! ”

When Jing Chaoyun, Zhang Ji, and Zhao Dongshan heard this, they all bowed down to receive the order, and then retired one by one with solemn faces.

After the three court giants left, Emperor Long An stared at the direction they were leaving, and after staring for a moment, Fang asked Li Jing, Li Xiao, and Li Shi, "What do you think?" ”

Li Jing's face resembles Emperor Long'an, and even his calm temperament is similar, he said in a deep voice: "Borrow the hands of Jingchu's old ministers to cleanse the scum in Jingchu's old ministers, and you can also let Jing Chaoyun and others dig their own foundations, and their father is wise." ”

Li Xiao frowned and said: "Erchen thinks that this strategy of my father and emperor can greatly reduce the power of the old ministers of Jingchu and deal a blow to their unscrupulous arrogance. ”

Li Shi smiled and said, "Erchen thinks that what my father said is what he did, and it is also where the sacred heart is. Isn't Jingchu's old minister his father's courtier? As long as the ignorant and corrupt ministers in the old ministers of Jingchu are eliminated, the rest are also the elite ministers of the dynasty. With them, and then wait for Han Bin, Li Han and other famous ministers to return, that is the time when the real people are in the Ying Dynasty and the great sages of the Manchu Dynasty. Son-in-law congratulates the emperor for his father! ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, his frowning brows never let go, and finally his eyes swept over Li Xuan and Jia Qiang, who had been lowering their heads, and asked, "Li Xuan, Jia Qiang, what do you two think?" ”

"Huh?"

was suddenly named, and the two did not check for a while, looking up at Emperor Long An suspiciously.

Emperor Long An was furious when he saw this, and reprimanded sharply: A prince and a prince of the county, a marquis of the country, during the national funeral, he did nonsense! Who told you to run to the firearms camp and get the birds and beat the birds? Two wastes, the birds can't hit them, so let people catch the people's chickens for your fun? Ridiculous, bastard! ”

finally learned about the two of them, Li Jing, Li Xiao and Li Shi, all of them felt a little toothache.

Li Xiao, the king of Kehuai County, was the first to speak, persuading: "Father, please calm your anger, the dragon body is important." As for the fifth brother...... Jia Qiang, how can you take the prince to do such a thing? ”

Jia Qiang tugged at the corners of her mouth, looked at Li Xiaodao, and said, "How does the prince know that it was brought by the minister?" ”

He thought that he had not offended the third prince, but he recalled that it seemed that when the two met for the first time, the third prince Li Xiao did not treat him very well.

Isn't there something wrong with this man?

Seeing that Jia Qiang actually dared to talk back, Li Xiao frowned and said, "Although the fifth brother is greedy, he hasn't been to the firearms camp for many years. Even if you didn't bring it, today's events are inseparable from you, and most of them are caused by you. Do you still dare to deny it? ”

"Third brother, don't blame the good guys. Today, my younger brother really wants to go to the firearms camp to see and understand, so I called Jia Qiang to go with me......"

Li Xuan hurriedly argued for Jia Qiang.

Li Xiao asked, "Why do you want to go to the firearms camp today?" ”

Li Xuan coughed dryly twice and said with a smile: "That's the case, I went there today because of serious business." I heard Jia Qiang say......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Xiao sneer and said, "You still say it's not because of him?" ”

Li Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little dumbfounded, he also found out, why would this third brother not deal with Jia Qiang?

Why?

Jia Qiang's gaze swept over Li Xiao lightly, and said to Emperor Long'an: "Your Majesty, it is indeed because of the minister's words that the king of Kehe County and the minister went to the firearms camp with the minister, observed the firearms, and tested them for an afternoon......"

Emperor Long An raised his eyebrows and reminded: "In front of me, there are some things you can say if you want to understand, otherwise, you will be punished for a major crime of bullying the king, and you will regret it." ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "How dare the minister bully the king? Today's minister also said this to General Zhao Poyu. Chen said that he had heard that Western firearms had far surpassed Dayan, and they had invented a new type of firearm, which could be fired without worrying about the impact of snow and rain. Plus, it's more accurate. In addition, Xiyi's artillery shot farther than Dayan's artillery, shooting accurately, and the shells were also heavy. They also loaded their guns on their ships, and with the sharpness of their guns and the sharpness of their flintlock pistols, they had destroyed countless countries.

If the emperor doesn't believe these things, he can also ask people to go to Guangzhou, Southern Province, to inquire, and he can find out. The ministers have told Ke and the prince of the county and General Zhao about these things, but they can't think of any good way for a while. General Zhao said that although the craftsmen of the War Bureau could also imitate their own firearms, the cost was too high for the treasury to support. The minister and the prince felt disappointed, and they still wanted to make a great contribution, but who knew that nothing could be done, so they borrowed two firecrackers and fired a few shots......"

When Emperor Long An heard this, he looked at Li Xuan again and said, "Is that really the case?" ”

Li Xuan nodded again and again, and said, "Father, Jia Qiang also gave Ziyu's cousin a fiery eye ...... today."

"Microscope!"

After listening to Jia Qiang's reminder, Li Xuan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's a microscope." That stubbornness is almost the same as the fiery eyes, and it is also from the West, and there is a little thing in the water, which can be seen by the microscope......" Suddenly, Li Xuan was shocked and said, "Jia Qiang, can the microscope even detect poison?" Why don't you ......?"

Jia Qiang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Lord Wang, those poisoned poisons are usually dissolved in water, and this kind of water-soluble poison cannot be detected with a microscope, unless it is the kind of multiplier that is very high, but not even Xiyi at present." ”

This kind of muddy water, he didn't dare to mix it even if he was killed.

And after saying this, he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the hall, which had just been extremely solemn, was much soothed.

Emperor Long An asked Jia Qiang: "Are you going to go to the War Bureau and the Armament Institute to do things?" ”

Otherwise, what the hell would you do?

Jia Qiang hurriedly shook her head and said: "The ministers in front of the emperor don't dare to tell lies, and the ministers went to find such a flintlock pistol, although the intention is also to share the worries of the court and the emperor, but also save the idea of hitting birds with birds." Besides, the minister doesn't know anything about the War Bureau and the Armament Institute, so don't make trouble. ”

He was disappointed, and even revealed the secret of heaven, but for some reason, none of the two masters of the Li family seemed to be serious......

Emperor Long An snorted when he heard this, and paused and said, "Originally, I was going to punish the two of you severely, but now that I have other hidden secrets, I won't beat you." But what is the matter of this matter, I will still ask people to investigate, and also find out what Xiyi looks like, find out the authenticity, and then settle accounts with the two of you. Alright, this is the matter for the time being, kneel in peace. ”

……

After Jia Qiang left the Heart Cultivation Hall with the four princes, Li Jing looked at Jia Qiang sideways and said lightly: "Jia Qiang, you are so good at military affairs, why don't you come to the military department?" ”

Before Jia Qiang could speak, Li Xuan hurriedly said: "Big brother, Jia Qiang is going to enter the Internal Affairs Office, and my younger brother has talked to him for eight hundred years earlier!" and so on to earn money together and repair the garden for the father and queen mother. Don't rob me of people! ”

Li Xiao didn't speak, his face was cold.

Li Shi said with a smile: "Big brother, Xiao Wu'er fell in love with Jia Qiang's gold counting technique many years ago, and he grinded hundreds of times in front of his father and mother. ”

When Li Jing heard this, he didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

Li Shi saw it and smiled.

After Li Jing left, Li Xiao, Li Shi, and Li Xuan bowed slightly, and then turned around and left.

In the end, Jia Qiang arched his hand and said: "Two princes, it's getting late, and the palace gate is about to fall, so the lower officials will take a step to leave." ”

Li Shixin said that it was a pity, if he hadn't wanted to stay in front of the Imperial Tomb Zi Palace, as the grandson of the emperor, he would have to go with Jia Qiang today and take the opportunity to win over.

Not to mention Lin Ruhai, who is destined to enter the military aircraft behind Jia Qiang, only Jia Qiang's way of counting gold is also worth winning him over.

It's a pity that he still has to stay in the palace, and now he can only watch Jia Qiang stride out of the palace gate.
