The court was soon as solemn as ever.

Xu Bingyong's muscles were sudden, his purple face gradually calmed down, his left hand bent his legs, and it seemed very difficult to get up, and Wang Ke, an assistant minister of the cabinet, hurriedly went to help.

Xu Bingyong pushed his hand away, looked at Shen Zetang, and said, "Changqing, you help me up." ”

The eyes of the ministers followed secretly, and the relationship between the two was really confusing, seemingly dependent on each other, but Qin Yue was fat and barren.

Shen Zetang looked at Xu Bingyong's white sideburns, and the vague and desolate grievances outside the hall gradually became lower, and he finally couldn't hear it.

The sound of the thorn and the flesh colliding with the cane was still swept by the morning breeze to the ears.

He pursed his lips slightly, raised his eyes to look at the person holding the imperial power, and finally didn't say anything, slowly walked out of the Wenchen column, leaned over and stretched out his right arm to Xu Bingyong.

Xu Bingyong held the sleeve of the scarlet robe in front of him, got up with his strength, and took advantage of the moment when they got close to each other, he said: "Changqing has the heart to help, and the old man must treat each other with honor and power, you should know that it is difficult for me to give anyone a second chance, and only by knowing how to cherish blessings can I live a long life." “

Shen Zetang smiled: "Weichen keep it in mind. He smoothed the folds of his crumpled garment and retreated calmly.

Xu Bingyong was not satisfied with his attitude, and always had a feeling of boxing cotton.

snorted coldly, then turned to face Zhu Yu, and arched his hand: "If you want to quell the rebellion of King Hao, the old minister has already taken countermeasures." ”

Zhu Yu leaned forward, his eyes shining, and he was overjoyed: "Xu Shoufu is not here quickly." ”

"Although King Hao has elite soldiers and good generals, he can fight one enemy and one hundred, but our side has many people, and can kill one in a hundred miles. The old minister pondered and thought hard, and deeply understood that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. The generals and enemies are all flesh and blood, although they are protected by helmets and armor, but if the weapon is powerful, Mo Dao is one enemy hundred, one enemy is five hundred, and one enemy is also possible, which is the weight of a sharp weapon. ”

Xu Bingyong paused, and then said: "The old minister recommended a person, it is Qin Yanzhao, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, after the minister's worries, he and the skilled blacksmith in the capital have been grinding for a long time, and created a batch of weapons, the old minister was amazed after seeing it, I don't know if the emperor can be interested in .......... ”

Before his words fell, Zhu Yu had already passed on Qin Yan to meet him.

I saw six attendants pushing a cart to the front of the hall, and the civil officials all glanced at it and swept it quietly, and all kinds of copper and iron forged objects were placed in the car, and the shape was very strange.

Qin Yanzhao was neither humble nor arrogant, took his robe and bowed down, and then said loudly: "Why do people in the world fear fire and water? Just because there is no life in the water and fire, there are corpses everywhere you go, or there are no scorched bones. It is to fight on the march, and if you can make good use of these two, you will definitely win. ”

Zhu Yu asked him to stand and reply, Qin Yanzhao thanked him respectfully, and continued: "The weapons displayed in the car are artillery, firearms, rockets, thistles, large and small iron cannons, with lead bullets, guns, forks, horses and gunpowder. ”

Zhu Yu listened with relish, solemnly took the fire hammer presented by Father-in-law Feng, and looked at it over and over again.

Shen Zetang and other cabinet ministers were ordered, but they could gather in front of the car to take a closer look, looking at the bronze weapon that was destined to be a thousand sons, his expression froze.

Qin Yanzhao said with a smile: "Shen Ge has a vision, King Hao's mighty four guards are dominated by cavalry, this Qianzi gun is specially made for Keqi, and the quenched pig iron jack is hidden in the gun, once it is launched, the iron piece is like a rain cover, let him fight to the death, and he can't stop it." “

"You can ....... what you can." Li Guangqi's expression was indescribable, and he gritted his teeth crunched.

Qin Yanzhao smiled silently, Shen Zetang's fingers were in the kraft paper bag, picked up some powder, and then sniffed it before putting it in his nose, there were nitrate, realgar, fir ash, arsenic, mercury and other things, this is gunpowder.

"This is all drilled by Qin Shilang himself?"

Hearing Shen Zetang ask, Qin Yanzhao's words were vague: "I don't dare to take credit, it's all due to Shen Ge's elders." “

"What did you say?" Li Guangqi dug out his ears and asked angrily.

Qin Yanzhao hooked the corners of his mouth, just when he saw Xu Bingyong beckoning to him, he walked away without squinting.

"What the hell did he say?" Li Guangqi was a little worried, which could make Shen Erdu's face change, but it was amazing.

Shen Zetang quickly calmed down, and the ministers had already begun to retreat.

He watched Xu Qin and the others follow the emperor in a deep manner, before he withdrew his gaze and patted Li Guangqi on the shoulder, meaningful: "Your good son-in-law!" “

.......................

The colorful glow is painted for a long time, and the slanting sun spreads all over the ground.

Shen Zetang held his hands behind his back, and Shen Rong followed him, walking on the stone road leading to Qitong Courtyard.

In the distance, you can already see the three-room Cui family, surrounded by a few maids standing in the shade of the yellow plane trees.

Shen Zetang slowed down, thought about letting Shen Rong retreat first, and continued to walk forward, then saw Cui's broken steps ushering, and shouted: "Second master!" Smiling and saluting.

"What's the matter with my brother and sister?" His countenance was always gentle.

Cui's eyes were red before he spoke, and the big girl next to him, Meiyun, spoke first: "The second master doesn't know, the second lady treats our lady as a flower." ”

"No rules! How can you interject when the master speaks, watch me go back and punish you! Cui Shi glared at her, and then reluctantly said: "Second master, don't be too careful, if you and your sister-in-law fall out of harmony because of this, it will be my sin." “

"I don't know what happened, where did the husband and wife lose?" Shen Zetang's tone was light, and the dusk afterglow climbed on his shoulder, and the whole person was bathed in the sunset.

Cui Shi rubbed his handkerchief and pursed his lips and said, "It's not a big deal." The old lady instructed me to prepare the animal charcoal needed for each room in the cold weather in the morning, but it can be used daily in the house.... The money is really tight, and when Mengsheng's sister-in-law is here, she always asks me to ask the second master directly if it is ....... “

After a pause, she said: "Today, I went to ask my new sister-in-law about this matter, she was probably not happy, and I heard that the second master had contributed to the charcoal in previous years, so I asked you to ask for ......." "Some can't go on, everyone is used to holding the moon on weekdays, and they can't stand half a cold sentence.

Shen Zetang wiped a smile on his lips, was silent for a while, and said in a clear voice: "Your second sister-in-law is just over the age of this year, the daughter of a big family, she is already pampered, and she naturally doesn't show much mercy when she talks, you see that she is so cute." What's more, her younger siblings are a few years older than her, so why bother with her eyes, and just let her do something. “

Cui's eyes were a little black with anger, and it took a while to find his voice: "The second master is going to spoil his sister-in-law." I don't care, it won't do much good in front of the old lady. “

She didn't want to talk nonsense: "The capital of the beast charcoal is estimated to require a hundred taels of silver, when the second master is ready, just send someone to inform you." ”

I saluted stiffly and was about to leave, and I didn't want to stay longer for a while.

Shen Zetang shook his head and said with a smile: "My money is in the hands of your sister-in-law, from now on, if you need daily use in the house, you can directly consult with her, and you don't need to ask me again." “

After finishing speaking, there was nothing to say, and he sprinkled away without hurry.

When the clear and generous back was far away, Cui's Fang seemed to be in a trance, and stood for a while, before suppressing his resentment and not mentioning it.
