Zhu Gaochi seemed to be pulled out of his soul all of a sudden, and suddenly his eyes moistened, and he only heard him whisper: "This ...... It's no wonder I'm ...... No wonder I'm ...... It's you who want to harm people, and you want to harm my family's peace and ......."

That's when ......... The door to the hunting house opened.

But Deng Jian, who was waiting outside, heard the movement and quietly opened a crack in the door.

Seeing the scene inside, Deng Jian's legs were frightened.

Zhou Jing had fallen in a pool of blood.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince curled up in the corner and shivered, and read intermittently: "If you die, no one will know about An Shi, this palace...... It's also a last resort......"

Deng Jian seemed to understand something.

He was silent.

Then he silently walked to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, took the arrow in Zhu Gaochi's hand, and then went to Zhou Jing's corpse and stabbed another arrow.

Pulling out the arrow, Deng Jian pierced the arrow on his calf again.

"Uh......" Deng Jian let out a miserable scream, and cold sweat like soybeans flowed out.

He didn't care about this, and pulled the arrow out of his calf and stomach fiercely, limped to Zhu Gaochi, endured the severe pain and leaned over to Zhu Gaochi and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Ying Tianfu Cheng Zhou Jing was bold and dared to assassinate His Highness, he injured the slave first, and the slave fought back, and finally killed this fang, Your Highness, your ...... Frightened. ”

Zhu Gaochi reacted suddenly, and he glanced at Deng Jian deeply.

Deng Jian endured the pain hard, trying to help Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi tried hard to stand up against the wall, and his emotions gradually calmed down a lot, and he only said, "It's hard." ”

Deng Jian bowed and said: "Since the slave maid entered the palace, she is no longer a human being, and it is a matter of responsibility to share the worries of the Lord. ”

Zhu Gaochi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, he opened his mouth, but found that his teeth were still trembling: "Needless to say, if he assassinated, then it would be a great crime to destroy the three clans, and the other person was dead, and this palace couldn't bear to teach him to bury the whole clan." ”

Deng Jian shook his head: "What is the culpability, you can fight for it again in the future, but if it is not for the assassination, the matter will not be covered." ”

Zhu Gaochi said bitterly: "Hey...... Bengong was a little panicked at the time, he said that he knew that An Shi had committed a big mistake, and he hoped that Bengong would expose it in exchange for his father's affirmation. Hongu is both scared and angry. What I'm afraid of is that if this palace doesn't agree, I'm afraid that this person won't get what he wants, so he will change his door and stand up to expose An Shi. And angry at this man's shamelessness......"

Deng Jian's face was calm, he frowned and endured the pain: "The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, His Royal Highness doesn't have to take these things to heart, it's just ...... Did something happen to An Shigongzi? ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "If what this person said is credible, then ...... It should not affect An Shi for the time being, this matter is ...... You act as if nothing has happened, and no one is allowed to mention it. ”

"Whoa."

Zhu Gaochi glanced at his bloody leg and said, "You go and call someone in, besides...... Heal your wounds well. ”

"Whoa."

Soon, Deng Jian's frightened voice came from the hunting room: "Someone, someone, someone assassinated His Highness, someone ...... come."

…………

The right guard of Yulin is located between Bei'anmen Gate and Da Nei, and the guards stationed here are mainly to protect the security of the north of the Forbidden City.

Originally, there was a high wall separating this place from Ouchi, and on the surface they were guards, separated from Ouchi by a wall, but in fact, the nobles in the palace would never know about the existence of such a military horse.

However, the current Yongle Emperor is the Son of Heaven on the horse, but he likes to ride horses here and review the soldiers.

Today, Zhu Di took Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, and Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qiguo, to the camp of Yulin Right Guard.

Zhu Di is in a very good mood.

Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu were also in a good mood.

On the surface, they don't care about their son in prison, but they still remember it in their hearts.

A few days ago, I heard that my son was going to Qiongzhou, and there was a false alarm, but today is the day when my son is released.

Thinking of his son, he finally broke out of the cage, could go home and take a good bath, and when he went back to fight, he felt a lot more comfortable.

However, Zhu Di soon became unhappy.

The Bureau of Fabrication made a gunpowder bag according to the prescription.

But soon a ridiculous question arose.

After Qiu Fu understood the situation, he reported to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Yulin Right Guard have tried several times, and it turned out that this gunpowder bag ...... Not very useful. ”

"Not very useful?"

"The power of the gunpowder bag is indeed strong, but because the power is not small, if the soldiers throw it like a dog, they will inevitably hurt themselves, and the dog was also lucky last time, the gunpowder bag happened to be thrown into the wall, and it exploded without hurting himself."

Zhu Di nodded: "The power is not small, it is really not suitable for throwing, then you can use a cannon." ”

"The problem lies in this cannon, the minister ordered the people to try it with the current cannon, and it turned out that because the power of the gunpowder pack is not small, once it is exploded, the barrel of the cannon can not bear it, and among the three cannons, one cannon was disemboweled, and almost killed the soldiers, and injured two people. There is also a cannon, the muzzle of which has changed shape, which is considered a scrap. There is only one way, and it can barely be used, but if it is such an explosive method, it will hurt 1,000 enemies and 800 itself, isn't it ridiculous? ”

Too powerful...... There are also troubles.

Zhu Di was speechless for a while, but he was good at military formations, but he understood Qiu Fu's meaning very well, and said: "Since ordinary cannons can't withstand it, why don't you give it a try?" ”

The mortar cannon is a kind of cannon with a short and thick barrel and a shape similar to a stone mortar, and the advantage of this cannon is that the barrel is particularly thick.

The iron-making process in this era is limited, and since the strength of the iron cannon is not enough, it is necessary to use the thickness to make up.

After hearing this, Qiu Fu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The minister has also tried, but the general mortar still doesn't work, but there is a kind of mortar that can withstand it." ”

Zhu Di said: "That's the case, then it's no better." ”

Qiu Fu said: "But the problem comes out again, this mortar cannon weighs 1,300 catties......"

Zhu Di: "......"

Ordinary cannons, lighter two or three hundred catties, heavier, indeed more than four hundred catties, and even weighing as many as a thousand catties.

However, with the current supply conditions and transportation conditions of the army, artillery weighing more than 1,000 catties is actually impossible to march with the army, because in the Ming Dynasty, ordinary horses can bear a maximum weight of four or five hundred catties, which is already the upper limit.

"This kind of cannon can only be used to defend the city, even if it is to defend the city, the cost is amazing, this is a thousand catties of iron. If you are with the army...... I'm afraid that it won't be needed, tens of thousands of troops will chase after the north, and if you bring some such big guys, it will become a burden. ”

Zhu Di shook his head: "What I want is to sweep the desert, go straight to the Dragon Court, and guard what bird city?" If you really want to defend the city, such a cannon is not of much use. ”

"So the minister thought that this new gunpowder ...... Or is it temporarily discontinued......"

Zhu Di suddenly showed reluctance: "Discontinued? It's a pity that something like this is discontinued, hey...... Is there no other way? ”

Qiu Fu stopped squeaking.

Because he really can't do it any other way.

The dukes, marquises, and counts of the Governor's Mansion of the five armies got together and pondered for more than half a month, and the generals below did not have any constructive proposals.

You can see this thing...... It's really a chicken rib.

Just when the three of them were worried.

But Pegasus came.

A brocade-clothed lieutenant stopped his horse in the distance, ran quickly with a rolling belt, and when he got under Zhu Di's horse, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty...... Blew up, blew up again. ”

"Blew up ......"

Qiu Fu didn't know what to do, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

People who also feel bad are Zhu Neng.

"Where did it blow up?"

"There is a Zhuangzi in Qixia Temple, the owner of the village, known as Shen Dashan, has always been kind and charitable, but today it is ...... His Zhuangzi was attacked by a gunpowder bag. ”

Zhu Di listened and frowned; "Who did it?"

"This ......," the lieutenant was silent.

In fact, when Zhu Di asked this sentence, he had already begun to have a little eyebrow in his heart.

As for Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng beside Zhu Di, the smiles on their faces were gone.

Powder kit ......

.

Someone who has this thing, and dares to do it...... There are only a handful of capitals in the whole capital.

Who else could there be?

"Isn't that little brute?" Qiu Fu was furious, and he didn't care about the courtiers, and questioned the captain.

"Jinyi Wei...... Jin Yiwei said...... In the vicinity, I did see the traces of Qiu Gongzi......"

Zhu Neng said stupidly: "Is there a ...... Is there a ......?"

The captain looked at Zhu Neng and nodded slowly.

Zhu Neng felt that his whole body was cold.

As for Qiu Fu, he stomped his feet and scolded: "Son, son of ......"

Zhu Di was angry in his heart, but he didn't show his face: "They weren't hurt." ”

When Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu heard this, their bodies were shocked, and they seemed to think of a terrible thing.

Powder bags, they already know very well.

This thing is extremely powerful, and the last time it was thrown at Baihu Liang Wu, it happened to be blocked by a high wall, so it avoided death and injury.

But this time, is there such luck?

These boys, I really don't know how to write dead characters, this thing...... There is no way to throw at all.

And since there has been such a big movement, Jinyiwei has paid attention to it in time, which shows that the power of this time will never be smaller than the last time, if it is still like last time, it will either be dead or injured.

Although they are very hard-hearted, even if their son goes to prison, they will not frown, but after all, they know Zhu Di and know that His Majesty is just giving these guys a little hardship.

But if something really happened to this baby, then it really wanted to cry without tears.

Qiu Fu's face turned pale with fright, and he stared at the captain and said, "My son...... My son...... What's wrong? ”

The lieutenant said, "This ...... I didn't see any casualties among the three murderers in the capital, in fact, they had been controlled by the Jinyi Guard, and they were unharmed. Reputedly...... Reputedly...... They were fired with cannons, two hundred paces away. ”

Two hundred steps......

Zhu Di, Qiu Fu and others looked at each other.
