Chapter 801: The Book of Pills (Page 1/1)

Tian Ergeng was dumbfounded when he looked at the ruins and broken walls all over the ground, he didn't expect that he had only sent a few hundred Jinyi guards into Wang Gong's factory, how could such a big explosion occur.

Could it really be the explosion caused by his subordinates breaking into Wang Gong's factory? In that case, he still has to carry this pot? As soon as he thought of this heavy cauldron, Tian Ergeng felt a tingling scalp.

As far as the eye could see, the explosion destroyed everything within five miles. And there are not many who are as lucky as him to survive. Even those soldiers just now have died, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Such a large explosion will definitely cause heavy casualties, and Wang Gongchang is not far from the palace, in case he is shocked by the holy driver, he Tian Ergeng will not be able to cut off a few heads.

No way! You must find a way to get yourself out, otherwise this pot will fall and it will crush him into powder.

What to do? That's right! Such a large explosion must have been a problem with the storehouse where gunpowder was hoarded, and since it was a storehouse, all kinds of dirty things were indispensable.

There is no clean warehouse manager in Daming, as long as he can dig out something from the warehouse manager, and Jin Yiwei will add some materials, maybe his guilt can be reduced a lot.

Thinking of this, Tian Ergeng was not as pessimistic as he was just now, he hurried back to the Jinyi Wei Yamen and immediately began to investigate the warehouse manager of Wang Gong's factory.

What he didn't know was that the explosion of Wang Gongchang not only affected the palace, but also shocked the little emperor Zhu Youxiao's holy driver. And it wasn't necessarily a little shocked, Zhu Youxiao was stupid at the moment.

Since the explosion in the early morning, one bad news after another has reached Zhu Youxiao's ears. First, the craftsmen who repaired the palace fell to the deaths of more than 2,000 people, and then the imperial dining room where he was preparing breakfast collapsed.

The people inside were all wiped out, and he became the first emperor who could not eat breakfast since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. These were not the worst of all, and then the worst news reached his ears.

The crown prince Zhu Cijiong, who was less than a year old, was stoned to death, and this news smashed Zhu Youxiao like five thunderbolts. This is his third son who died young, does God want him to Zhu Youxiao?

The eldest son Zhu Ciran was born a stillborn child, the second son Zhu Ciyan died early, and the third son was very healthy when he was born.

But who would have thought that this crown prince, whom he had high hopes for, would be killed by a vase that was blown down by an explosion in the palace, is there anything more bizarre in the world?

Zhu Youxiao didn't know, anyway, he met it all. At this moment, Zhu Youxiao's face sank like water, sitting on the chair in a daze without saying a word, his eyes were empty.

His appearance frightened a lot of eunuchs, big and small, and Zhu Youxiao didn't even dare to approach the most favored Wei Zhongxian, for fear of accidentally causing death.

It didn't take long for a little eunuch to kneel down in front of Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty!" This time it was caused by the explosion of gunpowder at Wang Gong's factory, and it turned into powder within a radius of five miles near Wang Gong's factory. Rumor has it...... Rumor ......"

"Say!" Zhu Youxiao's eyes finally showed a hint of brilliance, and he stared at the little eunuch and said coldly.

The little eunuch no longer hesitated and said, "Your Majesty! It is rumored that the explosion of the gunpowder warehouse of Wang Gongchang was caused by Jinyiwei forcibly breaking into the warehouse and accidentally knocking over the candle flame in the warehouse. ……”

"Huh! Wang Gongchang ...... Powder storehouse...... Jin Yiwei ......" Zhu Youxiao muttered a few names, and after a while, he seemed to ask inadvertently: "Where is Tian Ergeng?" ”

"Ahh The slave doesn't know! The slave and maid will go to inquire and ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins! The little eunuch hurriedly kowtowed vigorously to the ground.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand inadvertently and said, "Useless waste, let's kill it!" ”

The little eunuch was frightened when he heard this, and begged loudly for mercy. But the guards guarding the side didn't pay attention to the little eunuch's cry, and pulled him down and soon fell silent.

The rest of the little eunuchs were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of stepping into the footsteps of the man just now.

"It's not good to even take care of a prince, what do I want you to do?" After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving behind a group of frightened eunuchs and palace maids.

This is the emperor, who decides the life and death of dozens of people with one sentence. Regardless of whether there is responsibility or not, as long as anyone who is involved with the prince will not escape.

Tian Ergeng was in excitement at the moment, and this time he was right. not only cleared the suspicion of Jinyiwei, but also pulled the behemoth of Cheng Guogong into the water.

When he learned that the crown prince Zhu Cijiong was stoned to death, Tian Ergeng was about to collapse, which was a big event when the sky fell.

Although Zhu Youxiao is the son of heaven, he has countless beauties in the harem. But the heirs of the heavenly family are very difficult, and the premature death of the first two princes has made rumors fly.

Finally, His Majesty the Emperor had three princes this time, and he was named the crown prince as soon as he was born. All this shows that the emperor loves this son, but Jinyiwei has something to do with the death of the prince.

The one who didn't die was the team led by Tian Ergeng himself, which would kill Tian Ergeng. Even the slightest involvement was an unforgivable felony, and Tian Ergeng was desperate at that moment.

But he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to fight to the death. Tian Ergeng did not go to the palace to plead guilty as soon as possible, but directly led someone to raid Steward Huo's home, and found important evidence in Steward Huo's study.

This is a confession and an account book of Steward Huo. In the confession, Steward Huo admitted the fact that he sold the gunpowder in the treasury and then sent it to the army as shoddy, and even directly used yellow sand instead of gunpowder to send to the army.

He also admitted that he personally committed the explosion at Wang Gongchang, and explained that he was coerced by Cheng Guogong to do so.

And that account book is a record of his reselling of gunpowder during his time as a manager of the gunpowder storehouse, and every time gunpowder was sold, to whom it was sold, and how the money was distributed, there was a detailed record of it.

It can be said that with Steward Huo's confession and account books, Tian Ergeng is invincible. He searched the gunpowder warehouse of Wang Gong Factory and had real evidence, as for why the warehouse of Wang Gong Factory exploded?

That is, Cheng Guogong and others were mad, and in order to cover up the shortage of gunpowder, they coerced Steward Huo to set fire to the powder magazine. Not only is Jinyiwei not at fault, but also has a certain amount of credit.

This is four or five hundred Jinyi guards who died in the line of duty at the same time, no matter what, the court will also give an explanation. Anyway, the blame will definitely not be on the head of Jinyiwei, and only God knows who will be unlucky.

An earthquake was set off in Beijing because of the explosion of Wang Gongchang, and Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, was directly taken down and sent to prison, and dozens of officials involved in this matter were also dismissed.

Steward Huo's son was sentenced to be executed, and the rest of the people were directly exiled to Qiongzhou and pardoned.

And the imperial court once again issued an order to Zhang Dou, the Duke of Dingguo, urging him to enter Beijing as soon as possible to thank him and get back the Danshu iron coupons.
