Chapter 340: The Seven Princes' Plan

Above the court, you can often hear the emperor and ministers praising the five princes, but the seven princes are not valued at all, which makes the seven princes more and more hostile to the five princes. The Seventh Prince had a small plan for the Fifth Prince's Armory.

The Ordnance Institute is an institution that mainly researches and manufactures weapons, and there are many intersections with various military institutions, and there are also many contacts with financial institutions, and there are many things that need to be managed and handed over in the office, and the requirements of each link are also very strict.

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince bought off Xiao Si in the smelting room and asked Xiao Si to put a packet of white powder when the soldiers were developing their latest weapon, the drum and the golden hammer.

That white powder is able to react with iron smelting and have unpredictable effects.

The Seventh Prince threatened Na Xiao Si and ordered him to take care of his mouth, but this time, the Fifth Prince couldn't eat and walked around.

Mount Tai to commemorate the emperor's ancestors, is the most important event in the year, to that day, the emperor will bring the prince, civil and military officials to the top of Mount Tai, light the heavenly fire, pray for the emperor, hope that the emperor bless the country and the people, five winds and ten rains, more than every year.

After the commemoration activities, everyone followed the emperor to inspect the various military institutions, and the armory was also within the scope of his inspection.

On a breezy day, Mount Tai Memorial Day arrived.

The civil and military officials gathered at the palace gate early, and under the leadership of the emperor, they marched towards Mount Tai.

To Mount Tai, on the top of the Jade Emperor, the waterfall of the river is like a silver dragon, look at the foot from the top of the mountain, the strange peak towers, the momentum is majestic, the five mountains are unique, the imperial demeanor, from ancient times to the present, it is the embodiment of the king of the emperor.

At the top of the mountain, under the instruction of the emperor, the heavenly fire was lit, and a group of ministers saluted, praying for the emperor's blessing to the country and the people, followed by the routine practice of the mage, and the solemn memorial activities were coming to an end, and it was time to inspect the link.

The army is an important military aircraft of the country, and it must be the first to be inspected, and the ordnance station must be in the forefront.

The military inspection was efficient, and soon it was the turn of the ordnance office.

The Seven Princes followed the Emperor, expecting what would happen inside.

Every quarter, the Ordnance Institute will refine a new batch of weapons at the request of the army, and these weapons will be required to be demonstrated and exhibited to demonstrate the capabilities and efficiency of the military organization.

Jiuyuan Tianqian Sword, Zichen Liyun Sword, Liuhe Taixu Sword...... The newly developed weapons were demonstrated, and the powerful sword attracted praise from everyone, and the final weapon - the drum Weng Jin hammer.

Legend has it that the golden hammer Li Yuanba used the hammer to be infinitely powerful, famous in the rivers and lakes, this drum Weng golden hammer is better in appearance and momentum, and it is even more exciting.

The soldiers in the demonstration are strong and well-trained, pick up the weapons of the first-class generals effortlessly, easily make the golden hammer in front of everyone's eyes, in a circle and a turn, as if turning the tide, everyone is impressed, in the final hammer harvest, the accident happened!

The golden hammer was divided into two halves for no reason in the air, half of which remained on the chain, and the other half flew out of the air and smashed towards the crowd of black pressure.

The civil official reacted unquickly, and Leng was smashed to the right side by a hammer, and the official fainted on the spot.

At that time, the scene was chaotic, there were rescue guards, soldiers from the armory, and panicked officials who wanted to flee the scene......

The five princes led everyone to the courtyard next to the armory station as quickly as possible to avoid the temporary accident, and the five princes returned to the accident site immediately after calming down a group of people, and the imperial doctor who was called was also treating the injured minister, and the situation was critical.

"Report to the fifth prince, this minister was only temporarily hit by a heavy object and fainted in the lungs, fortunately far away from the heart, otherwise he would definitely die!"

"Is he out of danger then?"

"Report to the Fifth Prince, this minister is temporarily out of danger!"

When the five princes heard this, they hurriedly walked to the small courtyard and reported the situation to the emperor in time.

"Your Majesty, the minister has ordered someone to heal the injured minister, he is temporarily out of danger, and I ask the emperor to forgive him!"

"Today's incident has caused such a big trouble, I ask you to investigate this matter thoroughly, find the culprit, and punish it severely!"

"Obey the order!" The five princes hurriedly ordered someone to send the emperor and his ministers out of the armory safely, and then ordered someone to pick up the evidence and clean up the scene.

In the evening, all the personnel in the armory, including officers, soldiers, and subordinates, gathered in the lobby.

"Today's destruction of the golden hammer, I ask to find out the real culprit, and now all the people who have come into contact with the manufacture of the golden hammer will stand up for me!" The five princes roared, and everyone didn't dare to come out.

The soldiers in charge of smelting stood up one after another, and finally one of Xiao Si hesitated and panicked, and was seen by the angry Five Princes!

"Have you ever touched the Golden Hammer? Once lying military law disposed of! ”

The little Si trembled and slurred his speech,

"A few days ago, the slave's mother was seriously ill and urgently needed a large sum of money, and it happened that the Seventh Prince found the slave and said that he was willing to give me a large sum of money to let the slave mix a package of white powder into the smelting gold hammer, and also threatened to keep the slave secret."

"The slave has been dependent on her mother since she was a child, she is the only relative of the slave, and the slave has to do it! Ask the five princes to spare the villain's life! ”

"In this way, you and this prince go to the emperor as witnesses, let the truth of this matter be revealed, and I will spare you from death!"

"Report to the five princes, the seven princes left a silver ticket for the slaves that day, with the special symbols on the Seven Princes' mansion, which should be able to point to the Seven Princes!"

After speaking, Na Xiao Si immediately followed the five princes to the palace to face the saint, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, Na Xiao Si was shocked by the scene, and he began to fear that the seven princes would settle accounts with him afterwards, so his footsteps stopped outside the palace.

When the fifth prince was about to step into the palace, he found that Xiao Si had not followed. He turned back upside down.

"Don't worry, after you testify against the Seventh Prince, I will definitely guarantee your safety and let you return to your hometown with peace of mind."

Xiao Si slowly moved his steps, walked towards the palace, and collapsed into the gate.

The palace is solemn and solemn, so that people dare not have a trace of disrespect, several ministers are waiting quietly, just the atmosphere here is to frighten Xiao Si to bow his head.

"Father, the son found out the truth of the matter today, and found witnesses and evidence, I hope Your Majesty will investigate clearly!"

"Is this the witness you're looking for? Then tell me what happened! ”

"Emperor Qi, the slave and the slave are the cooks of the ordnance station, the slave's mother was seriously ill that day and needed a large sum of money for treatment, and there was no silver at home, so it happened that the seventh prince found the slave and let the slave and the slave do things to give the silver, and the slave thought of the mother who had depended on each other since childhood, so he agreed to this matter......"

"There is also a silver ticket given to the slave by the Seven Princes in the hand of the Seventh Prince, with the mark on the Seven Princes' Mansion on it, which is the evidence given by the Seventh Prince......" After the trembling finish, Xiao Si lowered his head, not daring to see if the Seventh Prince was present.

The Seven Princes on the other side secretly hated, this prince actually lost his hand, and he must make that Xiao Si leave the capital!

The matter came to light, and there was a problem in the smelting of the drum Weng Jin Hammer, which led to casualties, and the Seven Princes were the culprits.

Dali Siqing announced at the court that according to the laws of his country, when the seven princes were punished and imprisoned in the edict for one month, they could be exchanged for silver taels and placed under house arrest in the palace for one month!

The Son of Heaven should be guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the Seven Princes deliberately caused trouble, almost causing a big disaster and causing human lives, which is intolerable to the ministers of the court and the people.

The five princes finished repairing in the armory, and the prince Xiao Jue breathed in the station, and discussed some countermeasures to deal with the seven princes and the four princes, on the road to the throne, there were many difficulties, and the open guns and hidden arrows encountered would never stop, I only hope that there will be less threat to the people and make the people's livelihood stable.

This world should be the world of benevolent monarchs, and the competition for these princes is to seek a truly holy monarch for the people in the test again and again, and the five princes are already more and more confident that they can work for the well-being of the people.

The prince was under house arrest for a few days, and the seventh prince also used silver taels to avoid the pain of a month's edict, and he was only under house arrest.

In the Shizi Mansion, time is like a slowly flowing stream, and the peaceful life is the daily state of the Shizi couple, watching a garden from time to time, and playing from time to time, there is a unique taste in the world of the two.

In the house, the flowers and plants have decayed, and winter is coming.

I heard that the glazed lake in the west of the capital, at this time, the cold wind blows across the lake, a circle of ripples ripples layer by layer, the surrounding forests are silent, and the lake surface intersects with the movement, that situation, there is a different kind of fun from other places in the capital, leading people to infinite reverie.

On a slightly warmer day, Sheng Zi'an put on a cloak and came here with his son to watch the scenery.

The deserted scene on the lake on weekdays is dissipated by the warmth of this day, and the lake surface looks more and more quiet under the little light, giving people a sense of silence and peace, and time seems to have frozen at this moment.

Sheng Zi'an looked at this pool of lake water, and the prince beside him also remained silent. In this silent atmosphere, both of them are quietly thinking, thinking about their past lives, and also feeling this most ordinary happiness.

The two rowed on the lake, immersed in the harmony of the lake and the autumn moon, half a day passed, and it was time to leave.

The two are still a little nostalgic, and they are a little reluctant to give up the atmosphere. Slowly move into Fuchu.

Xiao Jue first broke the quiet atmosphere, "Madam, why don't we come to the pot throwing game, if you hit, you will compose a poem, if you don't win, you will be punished with a glass of wine, how about it?" ”

"Zi'an's alcohol consumption is not good, and he will definitely get drunk when the time comes!"

"Madame agreed?"

"Come on, take out the green glaze pot of this world, and prepare the pen and ink and wine!"
