For Zhao Zheng's treatment, of course, it is not Li Guanqi's own intention, but if such a big thing happened and so many people died, a scapegoat must be needed for everyone to vent their grievances, and this is already the best result that Li Guanqi can strive for.

Zhao Zheng knelt down behind Li Guanqi, and after praying in a low voice, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have been blaming myself for the past few days, but now, I have figured it out, this path is our own choice, and it has nothing to do with others!" Your Majesty, why should you blame yourself? ”

Seeing Zhao Zheng, Li Guanqi sighed and said, "How can I not blame myself? All of this is due to my greed, the result of my seedlings! I only care about getting the power of gunpowder, but I forget the most basic safety common sense that gunpowder can hurt others as well as myself. This is fundamentally my fault. Perhaps, I really shouldn't have forcibly brought something that didn't belong to this era......"

Li Guanqi's words made Zhao Zheng and Gongsun Zihan stunned, they could hear the guilt and remorse in his words, but what did the latter sentence mean? What does it mean to "not forcibly bring things that do not belong to this era", isn't the emperor a person of this era? Isn't that?

Zhao Zheng and Gongsun Zihan were silent, they couldn't understand Li Guanqi. Zhao Zheng had already heard some of Li Guanqi's words when he was outside the door just now, and originally he only thought that Li Guanqi was a rare Ming Jun, and thought that the reason why Li Guanqi vigorously developed gunpowder weapons was to be able to take a greater advantage in foreign wars, but now he found that Li Guanqi's ideal was far greater than he imagined. All children can go to school, and all ordinary people can see a doctor for free? What kind of great monarch does this have to be?

"My intentions are good, and I want a good result, but I am wrong! It's even more pathetic. I don't know what's wrong! Who can tell me what I did wrong to incur such consequences? Li Guanqi raised his head and looked at the tablets in the hall, the familiar and unfamiliar names, and he was extremely guilty and confused. But something. There is no one who can give him an answer.

After a long silence, Gongsun Zihan suddenly said: "Headmaster, I can't answer your question, but if you refer to this tragedy, although I feel guilty, I think the best comfort for the students is to figure out how to stabilize the butter gunpowder, and then turn it into a magic weapon that can really defend my great strength......

Li Guanqi looked at Gongsun Zihan and thought for a long time. Only then did he say: "This matter, let's wait for everyone to discuss it together before deciding." ”

"I can try." Gongsun Zihan pursed his lips and said, "If I can make it, I can also control him!" ”

Li Guanqi knew that Gongsun Zihan was very good, and he just relied on the memory of later generations to tell him the most basic principle of butter explosives, and he was able to make this powerful gunpowder in this era, which is simply the Einstein of the Great Qian. How could Li Guanqi be willing to let him take another risk?

"Headmaster! Please let me continue my research. This is the path I have chosen for myself, and I am going to finish it! ”

looked at Gongsun Zihan with a resolute expression. Li Guanqi couldn't bear to say the words of refusal, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Don't be too reluctant." I don't want to see sacrifice again. ”

"Thank you, Headmaster!" Gongsun Zihan's eyes were red, he glanced at the tablet in the smoke of cigarettes, saluted Li Guanqi and Zhao Zheng, and turned around and left without looking back.

looked at the back of Gongsun Zihan's departure. Zhao Zheng sighed and said, "With someone like him helping Your Majesty, I can also leave with confidence!" ”

"Let's go?" Li Guanqi frowned and asked, "You want to leave?" You're going to leave when I need help the most? ”

Zhao Zheng hesitated. said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't help you anymore." ”

Li Guanqi turned to look at Zhao Zheng and said, "I know that you have a pimple in your heart, but you should know my heart." I made it clear to you that I wouldn't let you go. Isn't it just that you can never be an official? I invite you to teach at Jinling University, and I can still give you a fair and honest salary. ”

"Going to Jinling University to teach? It's not suitable! Am I not misleading when I go? Zhao Zheng was a little surprised by Li Guanqi's idea.

"Didn't you really let you teach, which one of the wrong children? Your deviation is still on the side of the armor institute, but you are here to instruct your students. Li Guanqi said as he walked out, "Don't think about messy things, just do things in peace." I will definitely not let you go, not to mention that the Armor Research Institute is inseparable from you, even the imperial sister, I am not easy to explain. ”

Hearing Li Guanqi talk about Li Xiuxin, Zhao Zheng's face flushed slightly, pretended not to care, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty! Accept that you value it so much, and if the person who is a confidant dies, how dare Zhao Zheng refrain from resigning. It's just that I don't want to tell the emperor that the research of gunpowder in the Ordnance Research Institute is far beyond my level, and without me, those students are just as capable of experimenting, all they need is time and experience, and what I can help is really limited. ”

Li Guanqi saw that he had agreed, his heart relaxed, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be too humble, the Armor Research Institute can have today's results, you are indispensable, this is something that others can't erase." The Armor Research Institute is actually still under your control, but you are not given a formal position. You give me a good check, the research of firearms, except for Gongsun Zihan, everyone else will stop for a while, and you will focus on solving the problem of steelmaking. ”

In order to comfort Zhao Zheng's injured heart, Li Guanqi decided to go to Cining Palace to bump the Empress Dowager's wooden bell and beg her to promise Li Xiuxin to marry Zhao Zheng. But when he came to Cining Palace, he found that Uncle You Haogu was also here, and there were three young men with ape backs and bee waists, red lips and white teeth, and he couldn't help frowning.

The Queen Mother was talking to her uncle You Haogu when she heard the voice of the eunuchs and palace maids visiting Li Guanqi, so she raised her head and smiled, "The emperor is here, come here!" You Haogu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down: "You Haogu, the minister, has seen the emperor." ”

Li Guanqi said with a smile on his face: "Get up!" You are my own uncle, and this is not above the court, so you don't need to be polite. As he spoke, he wanted to say hello to Empress Dowager You.

"Excuse me! You also said that your uncle, you yourself have so many courtesies. Empress Dowager You was in a good mood, pointed to a seat next to her and said, "Here is choosing a horse for your sister, you follow the staff officer." ”

When Li Guanqi heard that he was really choosing a horse for Li Xiuxin, he said with a smile: "Look at this posture, the candidate has almost been finalized, why hasn't my son known all along?"

"I told them not to tell you." Empress Dowager You said with a smile, "The affairs in the court are enough for you to be busy, so try not to let you worry about these family affairs." ”

Li Guanqi said in his heart: I don't want to worry about it, but the old lady is not happy. But he still said with a smile on his face, "Why didn't the imperial sister come over?" This is to choose a son-in-law for her, why is she gone? ”

Empress Dowager You took a sip and said, "Where is there a girl's family who chooses a son-in-law by herself?" Do you want to lose face? Sit down and see with the mourners which of the three people your uncle has chosen is better. ”

"Huh? Yes! Li Guanqi sat down with a smile, but he was thinking quickly in his heart about how to mess up this matter today. (To be continued......)
