"Grandpa, these three are the samples of the artillery that our Ming Dynasty will equip in the future."

The day after the artillery samples were manufactured, Zhu Zhangui invited the old man over.

The old man was in a hurry, and he was urging several times a day.

"Well... Good... Well..."

Looking at the three mighty and domineering cannons that exuded an irritable atmosphere, the old man applauded again and again with satisfaction.

The three guns were a light gun with a length of 1.5 meters and a caliber of 60, a medium gun with a length of 2 meters and a caliber of 90, and a heavy gun with a maximum length of 3.5 meters and a caliber of 150.

"Big nephew, you can really hit this thing so far, why don't I believe it?"

King Han, who has reconciled with the old man in the past few days, stretched out his hand and patted the heavy artillery, his face full of disbelief.

King Zhao also nodded in agreement, and also raised the doubts in his heart.

"That is, let's not mention whether you can hit that far? With the weight of this thing itself, once it rains on the grassland, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to move! ”

Zhu Zhangui ignored the two of them, and said directly to the old man: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, whether its power is as strong as I said, grandpa, you will know at a glance." ”

The old man nodded in approval.

"Okay, try its power and see if you can hit the little cub as he said, if it can't reach the range you said, not even half of it, grandpa will punish you."

Zhu Zhangui smiled confidently and stretched out his hand to invite the old man to wait at the viewing platform in the distance.

When everyone came to the viewing platform, the gunners of the Shenji Battalion, who had been prepared a long time ago, quickly stepped forward and pushed the light artillery out.

In accordance with the requirements of the standard, the artillery commander first checked the artillery, and after determining that it was ready for fire, he began to order the loading of the artillery.

The loader, who had been on standby for a long time, took out a fixed charge and stuffed it into the barrel, and the assistant next to him quickly took a pole wrapped in cotton cloth and poked the bag into it, and at the same time stuffed a mat made of hemp rope into it as a grid plate, and finally put in the prepared round cannonball.

After the previous steps were completed, the gunner pierced the gunpowder pouch with a hook and inserted a silver wire into it.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand to signal to Zhu Zhangui, and the artillery was ready to shoot.

"Hehe, at this speed, by the time they got it right, the cavalry would have already rushed in front of them."

Looking at such complicated steps, King Han sneered disdainfully, and King Zhao also chuckled in agreement.

Zhu Zhangui, who was just about to give an order, looked at King Han when he heard the words, saw his disdainful expression, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said with a smile:

"This is the first time that the new artillery has fired, and it is of great significance, why don't you give this opportunity to the second uncle?"

Hearing this proposal, King Han's heart tightened.

Zhu Zhangui, this kid is very tricky, he doesn't believe that this kid will be so kind and give this honor to himself.

"Second uncle, you won't dare, right?"

Seeing that King Han was about to refuse, Zhu Zhangui spoke aggressively.

This trick has been tried and tested by the King of Han.

"If you don't dare, isn't it just a cannon, and I haven't let it go."

King Han snorted lightly, jumped directly from the viewing platform, strode to the artillery commander's side, took the torch, and stabbed it directly despite the artillery commander's reminder.

"Boom!"

The lead caught fire as soon as it saw it, and with a deafening roar, the gun carriage retreated violently, and a projectile whistled out, flying nearly a thousand meters before falling to the ground, and a few big bounces before slowly stopping.

Next to the artillery, King Han threw away the torch, rubbed his ears vigorously, and glared at Zhu Zhangui viciously.

Damn, I was cheated by this little bastard again.

The test firing results of the three types of artillery were very satisfactory to the old man.

After talking about Zhu Zhangui and meeting with some major craftsmen, the old man returned to the palace satisfied.

Before leaving, he also told Zhu Zhangui to finish the work at hand as soon as possible and go back to prepare for the big wedding in a month.

Since Zhu Zhangui confirmed the candidate for the imperial concubine, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for the wedding.

As the emperor's grandson, Zhu Zhangui naturally doesn't have to worry about the six rites, and the Ministry of Rites and the old lady Zhang will make all the arrangements.

The only thing Zhu Zhangui has to do is to learn the wedding etiquette and prepare for marriage.

After sending off the old man and the others, Zhu Zhangui arranged it and prepared to return to the East Palace.

Zhu Panpang had already said when he left that he would go back tonight no matter what, saying that he had something to explain to Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui asked what was going on, but Zhu Chupang didn't say anything, just smiled and said it was a good thing.

Thinking of the good things in his father's mouth, Zhu Zhangui made some arrangements, and then left the camp in the south of the city with the guards.

"Inform the gentleman that he's gone."

Zhu Zhangui had just left the camp with his people, and a man dressed as an apprentice quickly whispered in the ear of the master beside him.

The old master nodded, walked to a nearby birdcage and teased it a few times, and released the bird while no one was noticing.

The bird was so fast that it disappeared into the camp in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Zhangui, who entered the city, did not return to the palace as soon as possible, but went to the mansion of Xuanwu Lake first.

After confirming the recent earnings and replenishing a little goods, Zhu Zhangui returned to the East Palace after lunch.

Due to the proximity of the Xuanwu Lake Mansion to the Taiping Gate, Zhu Zhangui would enter the palace from the Taiping Gate every time he returned to the palace from Xuanwu Lake.

As the back door of the imperial palace, the Taiping Gate is very strictly guarded.

Coupled with the fact that the location is somewhat remote and close to the royal palace, there are few people here.

Walking on the Lianyin path with the escort on horseback, Zhu Zhangui hummed a little song in his mouth and walked leisurely all the way.

But as he walked, Zhu Zhangui stopped the horse, and his expression slowly became cold.

The front of the road was blocked by several horse-drawn carriages at some point.

"There are assassins, protect Your Highness!"

The commander of the guards shouted loudly, and led people to put Zhu Zhangui in it.

took off the shield hanging on the horse, looked around vigilantly, and escorted Zhu Zhangui to slowly retreat.

"Whoa!"

It's a pity that it's too late. "Hehe, I want to run, it's late!"

Zhu Zhangui, who was guarded by his men, threw away the blood-stained steel knife, pulled out a pistol, and pulled the trigger on the masked leader.

"Bang!"

With this gunshot, the masked leader screamed and fell to the ground clutching his thighs. Glancing back at the masked man who was desperately chasing, Zhu Zhangui asked his subordinates to take the injured masked leader, dodge the flying arrows, and go to the Xuanwu Lake mansion.

Rushing all the way into the mansion, the leader of the guards ordered people to gather men to arrest the assassins, while Zhu Zhangui looked at the masked leader who had been thrown from his horse with a cold face.

"Huh!"

One of the guards ripped off the face scarf from the other's face, revealing the appearance of the leader of the masked men.

"Hehe, who was I then? It turned out to be Mr. Huangfu, you are not an official with my second uncle, how can you be Jianwen's subordinate? ”

Seeing the other party's face clearly, Zhu Zhangui showed a happy smile on his face.

stepped forward and stepped on the other party's injured leg, and Zhu Zhangui said hello kindly.

"Ah~"

The wound was stepped on hard, and Mr. Huangfu let out a heart-rending howl in pain.

He wanted to reach out and push Zhu Zhangui's feet away, but he was held down by several guards, and the green tendons on his forehead rose in pain, and his body couldn't stop twitching.

Greeted each other warmly, Zhu Zhangui squatted down with a smile and looked at Mr. Huangfu.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Humph!"

Mr. Huangfu snorted coldly and twisted his head to the side.

"Smack!"

Zhu Zhangui clapped his hands and praised: "I just like a hard-headed person like you." ”

After complimenting the other party, Zhu Zhangui got up and instructed one of the guards: "Tell Ji Gang that I want all the people involved in the assassination to be arrested before dark, if he can't do it, for the sake of Yun'er's face, let him cut himself before dawn tomorrow, so that I can keep his family from dying." ”

"Yes!"

Waiting for one of the guards to leave, Zhu Zhangui pointed to Mr. Huangfu, "Take him to the gate of the second uncle's mansion, go to the Jinyi Guard Prison to find a knifeman, kill him alive for me, and don't let him die for three days." If he dies, let the whole family of the knife man go down with him. ”

After another guard left, Zhu Zhangui looked at the guard commander with a cold face.

"You go and tell the old man that the weather is cold today, let the old man rest early, and tell him that if his old man rests early today, I don't want any of the benefits of the country."

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Zhu Zhangui sat on the chair with a smile on his face and looked at the door.

"It seems that no one believes my overseas methods, since you don't believe it, then I'll let you see that my knife kills people really quickly." "My lord, my lord, something has happened, something has happened."

Ji Gang is in a very good mood these days, his niece is about to become the grandson concubine, and he Ji Gang is about to become a relative of the emperor, and his status is about to be improved by a new step, so he is happy to see everyone.

Yesterday morning, the old man summoned him and gave him a few words of encouragement.

Yesterday afternoon, the prince invited him to a drink, and the two could be said to have a good conversation.

And during the conversation, the prince also made a vague promise that as long as he does things for Zhu Zhangui in the future, he can choose to ignore the past.

Ji Gang is very happy about this.

With the promise of the crown prince and grandson, as long as they obey their orders in the future, the family can prosper for at least three or four generations.

After returning last night, Ji Gang found Ji Yun's father, his cousin Ji Xiang.

The two discussed for half the night and set Ji Yun's dowry.

People are in a good mood and naturally refreshed.

Although things were discussed until midnight yesterday, Ji Gang was not a little tired, and came to Jinyiwei to start running errands with a hundred times more energy.

was busy until noon, and Ji Gang just planned to let his subordinates prepare some food, and then rest for a while.

One of his men hurried in.

"What's so anxious, so hard that the sky can still fall? What kind of system is panicked. ”

Glaring at his subordinates, Ji Gang reprimanded.

"It's the Taisun, His Royal Highness the Taisun was assassinated on the way back to the palace."

"What!"

Ji Gang stood up violently and grabbed his subordinates by the collar.

"How is His Royal Highness Taisun? Are there any injuries? ”

Zhu Zhangui is his future backer, whether the family can continue to prosper depends on Zhu Zhangui.

If Zhu Zhangui has an accident, he Ji Gang can be 100% sure that he will definitely not live long.

Let's not mention whether he will be dealt with by the old man in anger because he didn't notice the assassin, just the things he did before were enough for his whole family to die 800 times.

Like what kind of raising the dead and leaving the show girl, this is all light.

Just the fact that he wore the clothes of King Wu and asked his subordinates to kneel down and call him the prince was enough for his nine clans to die several times.

His Ji Gang has not been liquidated by the old man so far, except for a little use, he is all supported by Zhu Zhangui.

If there is no Zhu Zhangui, he Ji Gang wants to have a way to live, and there is no second choice except rebellion.

"My lord, don't panic first, His Royal Highness is fine!"

Hearing that Zhu Zhangui was fine, Ji Gang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then kicked his subordinates angrily.

"What the fuck, why are you panting so much?"

After speaking, he walked out quickly, intending to see what Zhu Zhangui had to say.

"Master Ji!"

Ji Gang just walked out of the door, waiting for the escort of the ship at the door, raised his hand and clasped his fist and saluted.

"Has His Royal Highness the Taisun been injured? Are there any commands? ”

Knowing that the person in front of him was Zhu Zhangui's guard, Ji Gang also bowed his hand politely, and hurriedly asked about Zhu Zhangui's situation.

"Your Highness is fine."

After that, the guard board straightened his waist and looked at Ji Gang.

"Your Highness said."

Ji Gang hurriedly surrendered his hands to obey the order.

"Ji Gang, I don't care what means you use, arrest all the people involved in the assassination before dark, if there is anything left out before dawn tomorrow? You can apologize for your crimes, for Yun'er's sake, I will keep your family fine. ”

After conveying Zhu Zhangui's order, the guard approached Ji Gang and whispered in his ear: "Master Ji, let it go, His Royal Highness has already arranged it over there in the palace." ”

After speaking, he nodded to Ji Gang and said goodbye.

"Thank you brother for reminding me, I'm done with this matter when I turn around, and I invite all the brothers who are guarding His Highness to drink a drink to show my gratitude."

After sending off the guards sent by Zhu Zhangui, Ji Gang returned to the lobby and roared: "Within two quarters of an hour, all the hundred households will gather here, and those who do not come and come late will be dismissed and investigated on the spot." ”

Half an hour later, a large number of Jinyi guards, under the leadership of Ji Gang, rushed out of the Jinyi Guard's yamen with a fierce face.

Jinling is the base camp of Jinyiwei, and as a department that supervises hundreds of officials, its intelligence ability is naturally very strong.

The Jinyi guards who left the Jinyi Guard's yamen rushed into ordinary mansions or inns almost with a target.

Then, after a chaotic fight, several dozens of people were escorted away.

As the general leader, Ji Gang went straight to a house that had been locked a long time ago.

This house is exactly where Xu Bin and others are staying.

The assassin of Zhu Zhangui claimed to be the Jianwen party.

Regardless of whether these people are impostors or really Jianwen's people, Xu Bin and others can't let them go.

There's no way, who made these people themselves Jianwen's people.

"Ji Gang, what do you mean?"

As soon as Jinyiwei surrounded the house, Zhu Zhanji, who was with Sun Ruowei, Xu Bin and others, walked out and asked Ji Gang angrily.

If he meets Zhu Zhanji in normal times, for the sake of Zhu Zhangui's face, Ji Gang will be polite.

But today is different.

He didn't have much time, so he didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with Zhu Zhanji.

"Please step aside, His Royal Highness the Second Emperor Sun."

Waving his hand to a subordinate beside him, Ji Gang pointed to Sun Ruowei, Xu Bin and others behind the door.

"Arrest with your hands tied, or you will be killed!"
