Wang once sued Ding Wei for rebellion in front of Liu E, but Ding Wei immediately ran into the palace to explain to Liu E, but just when he explained to the screen for a long time, there was no movement behind the screen, and at this time, a small chamberlain came out and said to Ding Wei: "Ding Xiang, who are you talking to, the Queen Mother has already returned to the palace to rest?" ”

The words of the little chamberlain knocked Ding Wei into the bottomless abyss, because Liu E's intention to do this was already very obvious, and he didn't even give him a chance to explain, which was obviously determined to put him to death.

"That night, Ding Wei left the palace in despair, and the news that he was snubbed by the eldest lady in the palace also spread, as a result, today Wang Zeng had just finished participating in the early court, and other ministers also stood up and counted Ding Wei's crimes, up to selling state enemies, drunk and arrogant, and even the crime of molesting women came out, it can be said that he is embattled, and there is no possibility of turning the tables." Zhao Zhen finally spoke again.

"The wall is down and everyone is pushing it, but doesn't Ding Wei have a lot of henchmen, for example, I heard that Lint is very close to him?" Li Zhang first sighed, and then asked again, Lin Te was their teacher, and he almost cheated Li Zhang at the beginning.

"Hehe, Ding Wei's henchmen are a lot, but most of them are people who tend to be inflammatory, when they saw that Ding Wei's general trend has gone, these people immediately defected, as for Lin Yishan's ......, although he is very close to Ding Wei, but he has been sick recently, and has been recuperating in the house, I heard that the people are now forbidden to leave the house, and it is estimated that they will inevitably be implicated in the future." When Zhao Zhen mentioned Lint, a hesitant look flashed on his face, after all, Lint used to be good to him, so even if he knew that the other party was Ding Wei's henchman, he was still a little soft-hearted.

"Hmph, he's lucky, but Lin Te is not just close to Ding Wei, he is actually Ding Wei's number one henchman, and he knows how to drill camps, today he didn't go to the court, if he was at the court meeting, I'm sure he would be the first to take the lead in pouring dirty water on Ding Wei's head!" Li Zhang saw that Zhao Zhen still had a good impression of Lint, and he also hated the Tao of iron and steel, no matter how he taught Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Zhen's soft-hearted and rotten character could not be changed.

"Actually, Lin Yishan is not so bad......" Zhao Zhen seemed to want to defend Lin Te at this time, but when he saw Li Zhang's annoyed eyes, his voice became lower and lower, and finally he simply smiled and said no more.

"You, you, you can't be so soft-hearted as an emperor, in case I am corrupt and lawless in the future, will you also act as if you didn't see it?" Li Zhang looked at Zhao Zhen's appearance, and said a little helplessly at the moment, and even took it out as an example.

"I'm sure you're not going to do that, cousin!" When Zhao Zhen heard this, he immediately showed a trusting expression and said.

"What if?" Li Zhang was a little unrelenting, he really wanted to see where Zhao Zhen's bottom line was?

"In case ......" Zhao Zhen finally showed a hesitant expression at this time, and finally patted his thigh after a while and said, "In case my cousin did something wrong before, I can call you into the palace, and then our brothers have a good chat, I believe that I can definitely persuade my cousin to get rid of these bad problems!" ”

Hearing Zhao Zhen's answer, Li Zhang couldn't help but pat his head in despair, Zhao Zhen never considered these issues from the perspective of an emperor, but his answer also moved Li Zhang a little, after all, even if it is a relative, there are few people who are as tolerant as Zhao Zhen.

The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, and it is not an overnight thing to change a person's character, Li Zhang is no longer entangled in Zhao Zhen's character at the moment, but asked some things about today's court again, and he didn't return home until it was getting late.

Early the next morning, Li Zhang left Tokyo City in a carriage again, and as for Ding Wei's affairs, he didn't need to care anymore, because he knew that Ding Wei would be relegated to Hainan, and his henchmen would also be scattered.

Compared with the ups and downs in the city of Tokyo, the Huangzhuang side seems to be very calm, when Li Zhang returned here, the first thing he saw was Liu Shu guarding the gate, when he saw Li Zhang's carriage, he immediately stepped forward and asked with a worried face: "How is it, does the Queen Mother agree?" ”

Liu Shu is more interested in the musket than Li Zhang, because he also sees the future development prospects of the musket, and for Liu Shu, he is not from the orthodox imperial examination, and he has almost reached the end of his career as a judge, but he has just reached middle age now, and he is still very young for officialdom, so he is also very unwilling, and the musket is his hope to break his background and go further in the officialdom, so he cares more about the musket than anyone else.

"Judge Liu, don't worry, this is your new appointment, but you have been demoted!" At this time, Li Zhang smiled and took out an official decree from his arms, and then handed it to Liu Shudao.

Liu Shu also hurriedly opened the holy decree at this time, when he saw the content of the holy decree, he couldn't help but show a happy look, the holy decree removed him from the official position of the iron case judge, changed to the case of Confucius, although the official position is one level lower than before, but the grade has been upgraded by one level, speaking of the separation of officials and positions in the Great Song Dynasty, the grade only represents the level of the official rank, and the position is the real power, Liu Shu's grade has been upgraded by one level, but the official position has been lowered by one level, on the surface, it is actually a bright promotion and a secret decline.

However, Liu Shu didn't care about the change in his official position at all, because the holy decree gave him full responsibility for the creation of the musket, as long as he could do this well, the future would definitely be bright, and through the matter of the musket, his name had also reached Liu E's ears, plus he climbed up to Li Zhang, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and it was not difficult to break the restrictions of his origin.

At that moment, Li Zhang took Liu Shu back to Huangzhuang, and then found Huyan Shouxin and asked the people around him to retreat, then he took out Huyan Shouxin's holy decree again, and after Huyan Shouxin saw the holy decree, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "The Queen Mother asked me to listen to Little Brother Li's full command, but the holy decree didn't say what it was, and asked Little Brother Li to command!" ”

"This matter is a long story, Brother Huyan, you come with me, I'll let you see something and talk about this matter!" Li Zhang thought about it for a moment before he spoke, the matter of the musket is a little troublesome to explain, and Huyan Shouxin didn't know that they built the musket in advance, so let him see the power of the musket before talking about other things.

Hu Yan Shouxin was also very curious at this time, and followed Li Zhang to the courtyard where he lived, and then Li Zhang took out another musket from his room, and the musket was not only made, in fact, during this time, Judge Liu took the blacksmith to build a lot of muskets for experiments, some of which were destroyed during the test, and the rest were collected by Li Zhang.

At the moment, Li Zhang, like in front of Liu E, shot at the big tree in the yard after loading the bullet, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the bark on the tree was knocked off again.

"This ...... What kind of weapon is this? Huyan Shouxin was also taken aback by the power of the musket, especially when he saw the marks on the trunk, he showed a shocked face, even if he was wearing iron armor, he had no confidence that he could block such a small lead pellet.

"This is called a musket, in fact, it is also a kind of firearm, but it is different from ordinary firearms, not only the structure is more complex, but also the gunpowder used is different......" Li Zhang first introduced the musket, and then mentioned that Liu E wants to build a pure musket army, temporarily limited to one battalion, that is, the five hundred people under Huyan Shouxin.

The more Hu Yan Shouxin listened, the more frightened he became, and finally when he heard that the imperial court was going to form an army with all this kind of muskets, and it was temporarily managed by himself, he couldn't help but show an ecstatic expression and said: "Great, if you can have such a weapon, why worry about the uneven frontier?" ”

"Brother Shouxin, don't be too happy, nominally speaking, the commander of this musket battalion is me, and you can only be a deputy commander, of course, you must be responsible for the actual drill!" Li Zhang suddenly showed a helpless smile at this time, and then took out a holy decree, which was given to him by Liu E, in addition to letting him be responsible for supervising the manufacture of muskets, he also temporarily served as the commander of the battalion, it is estimated that the army of the musket battalion is in the hands of others, and she is not at ease, so she asked Li Zhang to take over the position of Huyan Shouxin, and Huyan Shouxin can only be his deputy.

"Haha~, that's just right, I was worried that I didn't know about muskets and didn't know how to train the army, but with Brother Li, no, it's Commander Li's guidance, so I don't have to worry about it anymore!" Hu Yan Shouxin laughed at this time.

With Huyan's trustworthiness, he naturally saw that this was the imperial court's uneasy musket battalion, so he let Li Zhang serve as the nominal commander, but he didn't care, after all, with Li Zhang's identity, in his opinion, sooner or later he would have to enter the court, and being his subordinate would only follow him, such as this musket, if it wasn't for Li Zhang, he wouldn't have been able to take his turn anyway.

Seeing that Hu Yan Shouxin had no objection, Li Zhang was also relieved, and at the moment he asked Zhou Lizheng's family to help make a table of banquets, and then invited Liu Shu and Hu Yan Shouxin to eat and chat, Liu Shu is responsible for the construction of the musket, Huyan Shouxin is responsible for the training of the musketeer, and Li Zhang is to grasp the two aspects, and at the same time, it also needs to be reconciled, for example, Huyan Shouxin wants to get the musket training immediately, but Liu Shu didn't even pick a craftsman, according to his estimate, it will take at least half a year to make the musket mass production.

Although the general direction is set, the details determine the success or failure of the matter, so Li Zhang also made an arrangement for the responsibilities of the two of them and the things to be done in the next period of time, and then Liu Shu and Hu Yan Shouxin found that Li Zhang's arrangements for their duties were clear and clear, without the slightest confusion, which made the two of them also admire Li Zhang.

Just when Li Zhang's side was preparing for the musket, the construction of the imperial tomb was finally completed, and the date for the burial of Zhao Heng's body had finally arrived.
