Chapter 771: The Chamber of Secrets

There was really no way, Xiao Mo had no choice but to intimidate them. ()

In the An Dynasty, the national law is generally aimed at the crime of rebellion, so the punishment is very serious, and even the emperor's relatives cannot be excluded, so hearing Xiao Mo's words, Zhao Yao asked, "Could it be...... If you kill someone with this musket, will you punish the Nine Clans in the future? ”

Xiao Mo nodded and said to Zhao Yao: "Not bad!" The important weapon of the country must be strictly controlled, I have explained this matter to the emperor, and the emperor has also agreed, tomorrow morning, he will begin to discuss the method of designating control, so you must not play with it! ”

Yun Xue heard this, and said to Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, then I don't want this musket yet!" ”

As she spoke, Yun Xue was about to return the musket and projectiles to Xiao Mo, but Zhao Yao looked a little reluctant.

Xiao Mo saw it and said to them: "It's okay, it's okay for you to keep your defense, the specific control methods have not come out, but I think that as a princess and a royal prince, maybe some privileges may not be necessarily!" ”

In this way, the musket was left by Yun Xue and Zhao Yao, and then Xiao Mo went out of the palace, and early the next morning, Xiao Mo came to the palace again, ready to go to court!

This time, it is mainly for the method of specifying the control of muskets, because it has to be revised into the national law, so it is not so easy to make a conclusion.

It is necessary for the ministers of the court to discuss and formulate a proper strategy together, but it is difficult to reconcile, and some people think that with the musket, the safety of the court officials is more guaranteed, so this musket should be equipped with the court officials.

But Xiao Mo thought that the power of the musket was too great, and he was afraid that with the musket, some unkind people would use the power of the musket to fish the common people, or use the public for personal gain, so he tried his best to do it!

So the two sides argued fiercely, and the official representative who opposed Xiao Mo was Shangshu Wang Li of the Criminal Department, who pointed to the musket on Xiao Mo's waist and said: "The general keeps saying that officials and people are not allowed to be equipped with guns, why did he bring one with him?" ”

Xiao Mo listened to it and said to Wang Li: "This thing was made by General Ben and Lord Zeng, and the purpose was to deal with the cavalry of the Liao State, and ...... This general holds the power of soldiers and horses, and in the future, when he goes to the battlefield, without this thing to defend himself, how can he fight with hundreds of thousands of horses and horses in the Liao State? ”

"Crowned!" Wang Li snorted coldly and said: "The general only said that the battlefield was dangerous, but he didn't know that there have always been many people who have been killed in the mountains by people who go out to be officials?" In this way, officialdom and rivers and lakes are even more dangerous, and with muskets, isn't it better to defend yourself? ”

When Xiao Mo heard this, he couldn't help frowning, this Wang Li was right, and ...... Xiao Mo was also a little selfish, because in addition to giving Zhao Yao and Yun Xue a musket, he also gave Yu Niang a self-defense, if the national law of this control really does not allow officials to have muskets, then Yu Niang's one will also be withdrawn.

But...... If all the officials of the court were to wear muskets, it would be difficult to guarantee that no one would have any crooked thoughts on the muskets!

According to Xiao Mo's thoughts, this musket must be strictly retracted and controlled, and it must not fall out, otherwise, the consequences will be difficult to say!

So Xiao Mo said to Zhao Quan: "Your Majesty, this musket is extremely expensive, and it is difficult to manufacture in batches, if you really equip each of you with one, I am afraid that the soldiers will have no muskets to use!" ”

Zhao Quan nodded and said, "Ziheng is right, and Wang Aiqing is not bad!" But...... Wang Aiqing, this imperial court official, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people, where can there be so many muskets? ”

The output of this musket, Xiao Mo said that it could not be produced, and Wang Li had no choice, after all, he did not know what was going on in this barracks, so he had to keep silent.

Zhao Quan asked Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, if it is an official of the third rank or above in the imperial court, can it be equipped?" ”

Xiao Mo said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, to be honest, if the musket really goes out, I am afraid that in the future, everyone will copy it, and then the world will be in chaos, and ...... If the enemy takes the musket and makes it in the same way, may I ask you...... With these powerful muskets, who can fight against them? ”

Being said by Xiao Mo, Zhao Quan immediately knew the seriousness of the problem, so he didn't make a good decision for a while, so he said: "Okay, this matter will be discussed later, as for the musket, it is currently under the strict supervision of Ziheng!" In addition, Ji Aiqing ......"

Ji Ping stood up, saluted and said, "The minister is here!" ”

Zhao Quan asked: "Zeng Aiqing's matter, how to reward it?" ”

Ji Ping looked at Cao Gang and Shi Zhongyuan, and then replied to Zhao Quan: "Back to the emperor, the minister discussed with Lord Shi and Lord Cao yesterday, and felt that Zeng Aiqing's meritorious service was unprecedented, and cannons and muskets are really important weapons of the country, and a light reward is not enough to show merit, if you reward it heavily...... The general also said that Lord Zeng was reluctant to leave the barracks, so he ...... Why don't you make Lord Zeng the deputy envoy of the privy council, in charge of the affairs of the imperial court's guns? ”

Zhao Quan listened, nodded and said: "Well, according to Aiqing's words, Zeng Aiqing will be rewarded with 3,000 taels of silver and 100 pieces of silk, and the Zeng family will be brought to the capital and given a mansion as a reward!" ”

Xiao Mo listened and stood up to thank Zhao Quan for Zeng Gongliang.

As for Zhao Quan's statement that he would take Zeng Gongliang's family to the capital and reward them with a mansion to live in, in fact, this is also a change of direction to put Zeng Gongliang's family under house arrest in the capital, it seems that Zhao Quan is really worried about Xiao Mo now.

Seeing that the army of the An Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, the Luzhou military camp is also becoming more and more important, but these generals, Zeng Gongliang and Gongsun Bo, they are all Xiao Mo's people, so Zhao Quan is also a little worried.

Then, Zhao Quan rewarded Gongsun Bo as the guard of the Luzhou Military Aircraft Battalion, which was a military position from Sanpin, and like Zeng Gongliang, Gongsun Bo's family was also placed in the capital.

After the early dynasty, Xiao Mo also remembered this royal rite in his heart.

Back in the mansion, Xiao Mo immediately asked Zhao Guanying to check the details of Wang Li, because Xiao Mo always felt that Wang Li was deliberately aimed at himself in the court this time.

On the other side, after Wang Li went down to the early court, he returned to the mansion, and then sent all the subordinates, and then walked to the backyard alone, and disappeared in the rockery in an instant.

In a closed secret room, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see the people inside, only to hear someone talking inside.

"If this musket invented by Xiao Mo can be used by us, the certainty of success in the future will be greater!" This person's voice is quite majestic, but it is not a royal courtesy.

"Hmph, what you think of, Xiao Mo can't think of it? Today, in the court, I tried my best to get this musket! This time it was Wang Li who spoke, and after he finished speaking, he said to the other side: "I can only think of a way in the future...... By the way, big brother, how is the virtuous nephew doing? ”

"Alas...... It's still like that, something that doesn't become a weapon, for the sake of a daughter, it's actually down to such an extent! ”

The voice of this person is the master from the Wang family in Jiangning, Wang Wenqi!
