Wang Zhen was taken aback, he didn't expect Empress Dowager Zhang to "soldiers first and then salute"! Just when he was frightened, a strange thing happened, and no one dared to step forward and slap his mouth!

Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry that she snorted. Wang Zhen took a look at www.biquge.info pen and picked up the big-eared melon seeds and fanned them "pop". The beating was still loud, and he blamed himself while fighting: "The slave is wrong." The slave shares the worries of the master, the way is wrong, and the slave deserves death! After saying these words back and forth a few times, Empress Dowager Zhang heard that it was wrong, and Wang Zhen had something to say.

"Hmph, stop!" Empress Dowager Zhang shouted.

Wang Zhen obediently listened.

"Listen to what you mean in other ways. Is the mourning family wrong? Is Lord Wang unfair? Empress Dowager Zhang asked.

"This, in short, it's not everything, just blame the slave alone, this matter has nothing to do with the harem, and it has nothing to do with the emperor. It's all me who is confused for a while, please ask the Queen Mother to punish the crime! "Wang Zhenneng can be the boss and the eunuch who holds the seal, and it can be seen that he is still very favored. Just by saying a few words, it can be seen that he is very shrewd, and for the sake of artificiality, he said a few words without leakage, not only taking the blame for everything, but also revealing the information that the fault is not all on himself, and the emperor also has a share. It is no wonder that Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was loyal to the emperor with Dongchang, was also respectful in front of him and was willing to live under Dongchang.

Zhu Qizhen was young, and when he saw that Empress Dowager Zhang was angry at first, he was afraid to speak. At this time, seeing that Wang Zhen was loyal to the Lord, took all the blame, and the money was indeed spent on himself, so he was arrogant for a while, knelt down to the Empress Dowager Zhang and said: "Grandmother Qiqi, this matter is all to blame on me, I asked him to embezzle, I didn't expect to borrow too much." Please punish me. ”

"Oh, tell me, you haven't been out of the palace in normal times, where did you spend so much money?" Empress Dowager Zhang asked.

"Speaking of which, I regret that I used it to buy clothes. Some time ago, I ordered the prince to display goods in the royal garden to imitate the bazaar, and I shuttled through the trade. Experience the life of the people. Be sensitive to the people's feelings. Unexpectedly, there were too many flowers. Please forgive the Imperial Grandmother. Zhu Qizhen said ashamedly.

"That's it, or Wang Zhen didn't teach you well. I am the ruler of the dynasty, the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce, the Son of Heaven should be an example for all the people, how can I go to trade? I must give you a punishment for this. Someone came, dragged Wang Zhen out to play twenty boards. The 4,000 taels of silver will be temporarily made up by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and will be slowly deducted from the emperor's future expenses in the future. Emperor, you have to save a little in the past two years! After Empress Dowager Zhang finished speaking, she waved her hand.

Zhu Qizhen knelt down. Wang Zhen's ass can't sit on the bench for a month.

In Wang's mansion, several family members guarded the courtyard. Inside the house, Wang Huan and Chai Baochen were chatting.

Lord Wang's ass was almost out of his bench, and his ass leaned forward, listening carefully to Chai Baochen as he spoke of his views on the current situation in the imperial court.

"Lord Wang, it's good that the student and Wang Zhen are close, but this is also an expedient measure, money and fame are not important to me, but I must first gain Wang Zhen's trust, so that I can further gain the emperor's trust. The emperor's proposal to Wang Zhen has always been more in favor and less against, and we must let the emperor change his opinion of Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen has bad intentions, and he took the initiative to sit as a eunuch from the position of a scholar, and his ambition is not small! We have to take our time, gather evidence of his crimes, and bring him down. Although Chai Baochen knew that Wang Zhen did not end well, he did not want to leak this secret prematurely.

"How can it be so easy to bring him down? A group of ministers in the DPRK and China, many of whom were installed by him. Alas, castration of woe to the country! Wang Huan said angrily.

"Soon." Chai Baochen said thoughtfully.

Next, Chai Baochen is going to develop weapons in addition to the previous dynasty. He already had some ideas. There are two things he needs to do urgently: the first thing is to mix black powder as soon as possible. The current grenade is not too powerful, and saltpeter will definitely be wasted, and the current production of saltpeter is pitiful; The second is the development of rifles, that is, hand-held firearms that can be aimed and fired remotely.

And with Chai Baochen's current knowledge, it is really difficult to sit on these two things. He vaguely remembered seeing it in popular science magazines, but he couldn't remember it. The production of bullets is also a major problem. Fortunately, there are now many craftsmen helping themselves.

He has been busy with drawing drawings and precision experiments these days, and he is very busy. At noon that day, Chai Baochen still did not go home for dinner, and was still mixing gunpowder powder.

The emperor happened to be very bored, and accompanied by Wang Zhen, he went to the Ministry of Industry to see if Chai Baochen had developed any new gadgets recently. As soon as I walked to the entrance of the Ministry of Works, I heard a "bang" sound in the courtyard, and then one of the beams fell and smashed on the ground, and the roof tiles were scattered all over the ground, dust was flying, and thick smoke spread everywhere from the house.

"Oops! It must have been Chai Baochen's failure in the experiment, alas, he sacrificed his life for the country! Zhu Qizhen was a little sad.

"Ahem, ahem!" A man came out of the smoke-filled room, and saw that his clothes were ragged, black, and his face was also black, and the black ash actually covered his face.

"I made it!" Chai Baochen shouted loudly.

Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen walked over quickly, Wang Zhen helped Chai Baochen to stand up, wiped his face with his sleeve, and said, "What succeeded?" ”

Chai Baochen saw that the person who came was the emperor and the prince, and hurriedly saluted. "No courtesy." The emperor said, "What were you doing just now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister is doing the black powder ratio experiment, and finally succeeded, the gunpowder I configured is ten times more powerful than before! We can now make more powerful ammo with a limited amount of nitrate! Chai Baochen is very happy, if his dynasty has such a thing as a patent, then he is the inventor of black powder, directly replacing Nobel as the first person in the world to develop black powder!

Zhu Qizhen didn't have much concept of black powder, but Wang Zhen had a lot of knowledge, and immediately knelt beside the emperor and said loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor!" My Ming Dynasty has one more weapon to defend the territory! ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Chai Baochen solemnly and said, "Very good, you have to hurry up and use black powder to improve the grenade, I want to see its power again!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chai Baochen replied.

Just now, the gunpowder blew up the house where Chai Baochen experimented, and it seems that it is going to be overhauled. Fortunately, this is the Ministry of Works, and it is difficult to build this kind of thing. In the past few days, since there is no place to do experiments, he has a lot of leisure.

On this day, as soon as Chai Baochen entered the yamen, he received a letter. The letter was written by Wei Su, and it said that they wanted to come to the capital to accompany them. Chai Baochen closed the letter and thought about it, he and Yunlin had been away from them for almost a year, and when they left, they didn't expect to be gone for so long, and they expected to be able to return home before the year. It's time to pick them up, too.
