Chapter 84—The Bell of the Last Days

When Zhu Weixuan arrived in the capital, he wanted to see his father for the first time. Unfortunately, no matter how she begged, the emperor would not want to see this useless daughter.

Even if the princess knelt and begged outside the hall for almost all night, the emperor was still irritable and turned a deaf ear to the plea of ​​the palace people.

When sending the princess to Chang'an, there was only one purpose. I hoped that the princess could marry Yun Zhao, hold Yun Zhao, and buy some more time for the precarious Daming. But the princess did not complete this extremely simple task in the eyes of the emperor...

If it was the delicate princess from the past, don't say kneeling down in the cold night, even if it is slightly exposed to the wind and cold, it is likely to be fatal.

How can she get up and jump a few times, and then run a few laps around the palace, after a little sweat on her forehead, nothing is left, and she urges Gong E to bring her a rich breakfast.

Empress Zhou saw her daughter eating breakfast like a windstorm, and said worriedly: "Are you having a bad time in Chang'an?"

The princess bit off half of the egg and said, "Good time."

Queen Zhou sighed: "Let you go to Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo's tyrannical hero. You are really wronged. You must not resent your father, he will let you go to Chang'an if he has nothing to do."

Zhu Weixuan looked at his mother and said, "It's good to go to Chang'an. No one humiliates me. Even Yun Zhao treated me politely after seeing me. He didn't offend. The child lived in Yushan Academy for school when he was in Chang'an.

For the mother and queen, if the child has the happiest life in her life, she must talk about Yushan Academy. "

Queen Zhou said: "My son must not be relieved to be a mother. The Yushan Academy is the land of tigers and wolves. How can my son live there safely?"

Zhu Weihui said: "If you put aside the fact that they are anti-thief, the masters in Yushan Academy are the most knowledgeable and kind people that children have ever seen, and the scholars in the academy are also the most motivated and capable of all. Group of people.

From the first day of enrollment, they vowed to study for the prosperity of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after graduation, some of them went to the bitter cold land of Hexi with their bags and long knives, vowing not to break Loulan and not returning them. Some even rode knives on their backs, put on their quiver longbows, and went straight to the plug. Shanghuangcheng and Tartar, build slaves and compete.

Some were born in the noble Yushan Academy, but were willing to work with slaves, teach them how to plant new crops, lead them to build water conservancy projects, and turn dry fields into fertile irrigated fields.

They also personally fought against small bands of bandits in the local area, killed bandits, arrested bandits, and returned the place to a clear image.

The child has been in Yushan Academy for three years, and she has gone from being a weak woman in her boudoir to being able to dance knives and clubs. If she has a firearm in her hand, her daughter can also go to battle to kill the enemy. "

When he said something, he took out a fist-sized grenade from his waist and placed it behind her mother, saying, "Here is Lantian's famous grenade. Pull this loop away, and the flint inside will ignite the fuse, and three stalls in the hand. If you count, you can throw it out to kill the enemy, and even a weak woman can use this thing to kill Takeshi."

Empress Zhou tremblingly pointed her hand thunder and said: "Will you go to see your father with such a weapon?"

Zhu Wei said: "Unfortunately, I asked Yun Zhao for artillery, but he refused to give it. If he could bring hundreds of artillery back, his daughter would be able to rely on these artillery to protect his father and mother.

The bandits like Li Hongji will be bombarded to pieces! "

After speaking, seeing his mother's face full of unbelief, he put down his chopsticks, pulled off the grenades, threw the grenade out of the window, and then covered the ears of the mother's queen.

With a loud noise, a waxy plum in the garden was in full bloom, and it was immediately engulfed by the fire. The scattered fragments were like rain hitting plantain, and the warm pavilion next to the winter plum was riddled with holes.

Empress Zhou looked at her daughter in horror, and she was about to slip to the ground softly.

But I heard my daughter say in her ear: "We are going to Jiangnan, we can't stay in the dead place of Beijing."

The huge explosion soon attracted countless guards, eunuchs, and Gong E. Seeing that there were only the queen and the princess at the scene, everyone was talking about it.

Zhu Weixuan coldly snorted: "Get away from me."

The princess grew up in the deep palace, and her temperament had always been weak. She stood in front of the main hall and roared. She was so majestic that she didn't dare to look directly at her. "

After a while, the guards, eunuchs, and Gong'e all knelt to the ground, and even Queen Zhou also knelt to the ground. Only Zhu Weixuan was still standing in front of the hall, waiting for his father to arrive.

"Have you learned to throw grenade in Chang'an?"

Chongzhen's feminine voice came from the corner of the Piandian, and soon Zhu Weixuan saw his father.

Originally, her heart was full of grievances and resentment. When she saw her white temples and the old man who did not look like a thirty-three-year-old father, her tears gushed out like a tide. She took a few steps forward and threw her head into her father’s arms and howled. Crying.

Chongzhen gently stroked her daughter's dangling hair, and whispered with tears in his eyes: "It's all your father's uselessness, so I sent you into the tiger and wolf den."

Zhu Weixuan raised her tearful face and resolutely said: "My father gave it right, but it was a little late. If the child is six years old, he enters Yushan Academy to study hard. Even today, the child cannot be like Han Xiufen. In that way, you can fight against the pirates of the world at sea, and you can at least defend your father and queen and mother and queen."

Chongzhen looked at the strong and unspeakable girl in his arms in surprise, and asked Queen Zhou to stand up, holding the girl's hand, and walked into the hall again.

The guards, eunuchs, and Gong'e retreated like a tide.

"Where's the grenade, take it out and show it to the emperor."

Zhu Weixuan came to the front of a wooden box with a grenade, opened the box, took out a grenade, and placed it carefully in front of his father.

Chongzhen picked up the grenade, examined it carefully for a moment, and handed it to Zhu Weixuan again, "Throw it again."

Zhu Weixuan slowly opened the loop and threw the grenade out of the window again.

With a loud noise, the warm pavilion that had been riddled with holes finally collapsed in the flames.

Chongzhen went to check the place where the warm pavilion collapsed, and then looked at the box containing the grenade. He raised his head and said to Zhu Wei: "I first knew the grenade from Lu Xiangsheng's memorial.

At that time, I knew that this thing was very useful on the battlefield, but it was expensive, and one cost five taels of silver.

The second time I saw the word grenade, it was in the memorial of Jin Yiwei Qianhu Yuan Min. At that time, he said that the price of a grenade should be around three taels of silver.

The third time I saw these two words, I saw it in Sun Chuanting's memorial. At that time, he hoped that the court could purchase 100,000 grenades so that he could completely defeat Li Hongji.

For the fourth time, in the report of the late Liaodong Governor Hong Chengchou, he said that the army had a serious shortage of grenade and he hoped that the court would purchase it. He also said that Lan Tian Yunzhao would sell the grenade to the court in order to crack down on the establishment of slaves. ..."

Zhu Weixuan frowned and said, "Why didn't the emperor buy it?"

Chongzhen put his hands behind his back, looked at the broken warm pavilion and said lostly: "No one is like an emperor, showing me the true power of a grenade."

Zhu Weixuan gritted his teeth and said: "Father has another chance, this time the son will go and buy grenade in person!"

Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Yun Zhao hates me for not dying, he will not sell it."

Zhu Weiwei said in surprise: "Father, the boy doesn't think so. Although Yun Zhao is a bad thief, he still respects his father.

The child is watching the play in Chang'an, the old Yun family is here, Yun Zhao’s two wives are also there, and Yun Zhao’s three children are also there, but the people sitting here will always be children.

Whether it is the rigorous teaching and respected masters of Yushan Academy, or the passionate and domineering scholars, they also think that children should sit in the upper seat.

The weapons that the emperor father sees are all bought by the children from Chang'an. The money for the weapons comes from Yun Zhao’s contribution to the emperor’s father, as well as the contributions of the Yun family to the queen, and the two wives of Yun Zhao to the queen. Contributions, and even money from a few deceased Zhu who stayed in Chang'an.

With this money, Haier bought 5,000 grenades, 500 blunderbuss, 1,000 catties of gunpowder, and 100,000 rounds of gunpowder in Tongguan.

Father, these things are enough to arm a battalion of five hundred people. "

Chongzhen suddenly raised his head and looked at the girl and said, "Can you really buy it? Including the Lantian artillery?"

Zhu Weixuan said with a serious face: "The boy is going to ask someone who is more familiar with Lantian than I am."

"Who?" Chongzhen's voice suddenly became louder, and a cold expression appeared in his eyes.

Seeing that his father was still suspicious, Zhu Weixuan sighed slightly in his heart: "Mu Tiantao, the elder son of Prince Mu's Mansion!"

Hearing that it was a member of Prince Mu Palace, Chongzhen's alertness slowly faded, and he nodded and said, "Prince Mu Palace is still my good courtier."

Zhu Weixu said again: "He has already entered Beijing to participate in this year's Father's Talent Ceremony."

Chongzhen nodded again and again after hearing the words: "Okay, okay, okay, after all, Daming still has a loyal minister and a filial son. He ordered him to come to see me, and I will give the opportunity to him face to face."

Zhu Weixi immediately ran out with joy.

Empress Zhou looked at the back of her daughter and said to the emperor: "This prince of Mu Palace probably has the heart of the deep daughter~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Chongzhen said coldly: "I know it after seeing it. "

Queen Zhou whispered: "Guo Zuo is difficult, and my concubine knows that if the destiny cannot be violated, why not entrust Wei Wei to this person."

Chongzhen glared at Empress Zhou and said, "I am known as Emperor Taizu since Emperor Taizu destroyed Yuan and proclaimed himself emperor. My country is known as Daming for twelve generations and sixteenth emperors. I have enjoyed Guozuo for two hundred and seventy-five years. With countless turbulent waves, how can you lose your ambition because of a few gangsters.

Since she is my daughter, she must obey the orders of her parents. Although Zhou Shixian is not innocent, she can still marry someone in need if necessary. This matter will not be mentioned again. "

Empress Zhou said with sorrow: "Your Majesty, if the country is destroyed by Ming, let your concubine go down with your concubine and make a plea to your ancestors. You can spare your daughter and let her make a living."

Chongzhen laughed bitterly, "Guopo, where is home?"
