After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Han Du said: "But there is no way to solve this problem."
"Oh? What can you do?" Zhu Biao seemed not to be surprised by Han Du's words at all, and just asked casually.
Han Du nodded and said: "In this case, Your Highness can let the army reserve a certain amount of ammunition. For example, five bullets per person. In this way, it will be enough for the army to deal with all attacks. And five bullets will not Let them have delusional thoughts. Because once they use up the five bullets, they will still encounter a helpless situation."
"Good idea." Zhu Biao praised.
Five bullets per person is not much, but it is enough for the army to deal with all enemies. Moreover, this small amount of bullets is not enough to attack the capital, and it will not be a match for the Guards with sufficient ammunition, so there is naturally nothing to worry about.
Zhu Biao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly frowned and said, "But these firearms are not cheap. If all the big things in the world are replaced by firearms, it will probably cost a lot of money."
Well? Afraid of spending money? Of course, firearms cost money. Even if the cost of a revolver is more than ten guns. If bullets are included, once more is consumed, it will be a sky-high price.
But this is normal. If it were not expensive, it would not be said that "a cannon fires and a thousand taels of gold".
Since Zhu Biao was definitely too expensive, Han Du had no choice but to find another way for him, saying, "In that case, His Highness can definitely select an army to equip with firearms. As long as this army is in hand, no one in the world will dare to rebel."
The truth is actually the same. As long as the deterrence of firearms is there, no one in the world will dare to take risks, even if there are only tens of thousands of firearms troops.
Zhu Biao nodded, quite agreeing with Han Du's statement.
However, after looking at Han Du twice, Zhu Biao suddenly asked: "You and Gu have said so much, do you want Gu to intercede with your father for mercy for the Duke of Han* and others?"
Han Du was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the fat man in front of him was not simple. He smiled and said, "That's not true. I am not familiar with Duke Han*."
Since Han Du and Li Shanchang are not familiar with each other, he has no reason to plead for Li Shanchang.
"However, I also discovered that those civil servants who impeached the Duke of Han* seem to have their ancestral home in eastern Zhejiang?" Han Du said while staring closely at Zhu Biao's face, trying to find some clues from Zhu Biao's expression. . Moreover, he did not talk about Zhejiang or Guangdong, but directly said East Zhejiang. This made it very easy for Zhu Biao, who had personally experienced the struggle between the Huaixi Honors and the East Zhejiang Party, to think of the East Zhejiang Party.
Zhu Biao naturally understood the metaphor in Han Du's words, nodded, and admitted openly: "Yes, these people are closely related to the civil servants in eastern Zhejiang."
Since there is a connection, it is enough to prove that these people are members of the East Zhejiang Party. Then their purpose for impeaching Li Shanchang is obvious, which is to avenge them.
Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and sighed: "Originally I was not prepared to intervene, but since you said that the best situation is a three-legged confrontation, then I have to ask my father to bypass the Duke of Han and others."
Han Du thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand to stop Zhu Biao and said, "That's not necessarily true. In fact, I suggest that His Highness should be quiet and wait and see what happens."
"Oh? What's the reason?" After Zhu Biao saw Han Du's resourcefulness, he wanted to test Han Du in everything, or in other words, test him.
Han Du smiled helplessly and said: "I just feel that the emperor may know anything about this matter. Anyway, the worst result is to be exiled to Nanyang. Why don't your highness wait and see what happens?"
Zhu Biao nodded slowly and finally said: "Okay, let me take a look first and then talk."
...
However, the development of things was completely beyond Han Du and Zhu Biao's expectations. In just a few days, Li Shanchang's collusion with Hu Weiyong in conspiracy was clearly revealed. The evidence is conclusive that Li Shanchang conspired with Hu Weiyong and implicated a group of Huaixi nobles.
All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of voices in the court asking for the execution of Li Shanchang and others, and the memorials flew to Lao Zhu's imperial desk like snowflakes.
What's even more serious is that at this time, someone actually spread the news that a star change is about to happen in the sky, and disasters will happen in the world. It is even rumored that signs will appear on a certain minister in the court, and only by killing him in response to the celestial phenomenon can the world be healed. Can keep the world safe.
At this time, talk about a certain person and minister
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Needless to say, everyone immediately contacted Li Shanchang.
What made Zhu Biao and Han Du even more nervous was that the emperor had not yet made a decision on this matter. Moreover, they quite wanted to allow all officials to impeach Li Shanchang. The two people immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. After hurriedly discussing, they jointly asked to see Lao Zhu.
Han Du followed Zhu Biao with a stern look on his face and stood waiting outside the palace gate. He didn't feel that Lao Zhu would agree to see the two of them.
But to Han Du's surprise, Lao Zhu actually sent a eunuch, and he agreed to meet Han Du and Zhu Biao.
"My son, I would like to pay my respects to my father..."
"Your Majesty, please pay homage to the Emperor..."
Zhu Biao and Han Du bowed down together.
Lao Zhu glanced at the two of His Majesty Dan, suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Get up. It's very rare for you two to come together. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Han Du followed Zhu Biao and stood up. Before Han Du could speak, Zhu Biao said directly: "My dear father, please spare the life of Duke Han*."
Lao Zhu was not angry. Instead, he looked at Han Du with a smile on his face and asked, "Is this why you came?"
Han Du stood up, bowed and said: "Li Shanchang worked together with Your Majesty, fought for Your Majesty through life and death, and ranked first among the honorable ministers. He was granted the title of Duke during his lifetime, and the title of King after his death. His son married a princess, and his relatives worshiped officials. As a human being, he Your Majesty, your status has reached its peak."
"Even if he wanted to plot evil, it was not known yet. Now it is extremely ridiculous and wrong to say that he wants to help Hu Weiyong in his rebellion."
Lao Zhu's face suddenly darkened, he stared at Han Du with dagger-like eyes, and said, "You want to excuse him?"
Han Du shook his head and said: "I am not familiar with him, let alone have no contact with him. There is no need to excuse him."
"Then what did you mean by those words just now?" Lao Zhu did not let Han Du go, but asked sharply.
Han Du had no choice but to sigh and continue to explain: "I just think that the so-called collusion between Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong is too ridiculous. People must love their own sons more than their brothers' sons. Those who have already enjoyed complete wealth and honor will definitely not It is human nature to think about getting rich by chance. Although Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong are relatives, they may not be that close, not even as close as he is to His Majesty."
Zhu Biao also gave timely support: "Father, I think that even if Li Shanchang helps Hu Weiyong succeed in his rebellion, he will only be ranked first among the honorable ministers again. It is amazing that he can be named Grand Master, Duke of the Kingdom, and King. Marrying It’s just a princess and a princess, can it still be better than today?”
"And doesn't Li Shanchang not understand that the world cannot be obtained by luck? At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were countless people who wanted to conquer the world, but all of them were shattered to pieces and overthrew their clans. How many people could save their heads? Li Shanchang himself saw this with his own eyes. See, why should we repeat the same mistakes in our declining years? Anyone who does this must be motivated by deep hatred. When the situation is over, father and son may support each other in order to escape the disaster. And now Li Shanchang’s son Li Qi He was a close relative of his father and had no grudge against him, so why did he suddenly do this? If the celestial phenomena changed and the ministers suffered disasters, and he was killed to respond to the celestial phenomena, then his father would not be able to do this even more. I am afraid that the people of the world will listen. After talking about it, I will say that if a meritorious official like the Duke of Han has met such an end, the Ming Dynasty will also fall apart because of this."
"Bastard!" Lao Zhu shouted loudly, clenching his fingers into a fist and hitting the imperial case hard. His chest was rising and falling, and his nose was breathing heavily.
Han Du looked up at Zhu Biao blankly, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "It's Zhu Biao, I really dare to say it."
But there is really nothing to say about Lao Zhu's love for Zhu Biao. Even though he was so angry, Lao Zhu did not blame Zhu Biao. Instead, he vented his anger directly on Han Du and asked with a smile: "Why, Han Du, you think so too?"
At this time, Han Du could only advance and not retreat. He immediately bowed and said seriously: "I think that the theory of celestial phenomena is nonsense. Killing important ministers to respond to celestial phenomena is even more ridiculous and cannot be trusted!"
"Asshole." Well, Lao Zhu really vented his anger towards Zhu Biao on Han Du without even changing his words.
With a wave of his hand, he grabbed the memorial on the imperial case and threw it at Han Du head-on.
Han Du didn't dare to dodge at all, so he had no choice but to continue to hit him with the memorial.
"There is a change in the celestial phenomena. This is Qin."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Do you think it’s child’s play when the sky monitor calculates it? "
Hearing other things, Han Du may not be able to do anything yet. But when he heard that it was calculated by Qin Tianjian, Han Du immediately became energetic. He said seriously: "Your Majesty, the so-called celestial phenomena are just calculations of the laws of the stars. This is the inherent law of the stars in the sky and the earth. It has nothing to do with any signs. There is no such thing as killing important officials to respond to the celestial phenomena."
"What do you mean?" Lao Zhu's eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a dangerous cold light.
Han Du straightened up and said, "I know which star Qin Tianjian is talking about this time, but that star appears every seventy-eight years or so and has nothing to do with humans."
When Lao Zhu heard this, his expression changed, and he glared angrily and said, "What are you talking about? Do you know which star it is?"
You know, when Lao Zhu heard the news about Qin Tianjian, he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He even ordered Qin Tianjian not to reveal which star it was. But now Han Du actually said that he knew which star it was, which made Lao Zhu have to become suspicious.
Of course, Lao Zhu did not suspect that it was Qin Tianjian who leaked the news to Han Du. When he reported it to Qin Tian Jian, he issued an order to block the information, and Qin Tian Jian also repeatedly promised not to leak anything. Lao Zhu did not think Qin Tian Jian had the guts to tell Han Du.
Han Du raised his head and looked at Lao Zhu, smiled, and said decisively: "Broom star!"
Lao Zhu couldn't help but trembled all over. After a moment of pause, he stared at Han Du and asked angrily, "How did you know?"
Zhu Biao suddenly took a breath and looked at Han Du in surprise. Even he didn't know about this, but Han Du actually knew about it?
If the broom star appears, it's not a good sign... But looking at his father's expression, is what Han Du said true?
"I saw it."
Han Du's answer was completely beyond Lao Zhu's expectations.
Lao Zhu could no longer remain calm. He suddenly stood up, pointed at Han Du and said through his teeth, "That's nonsense. Even Qin Tian Jian only calculated it. How could you see it?"
That is a celestial phenomenon, and it is also the famous broom star. How can it be seen by mortals? The fact that Qin Tian Jian could figure it out in advance was enough to make Lao Zhu in awe.
Han Du spread his hands with a relaxed expression and said: "I also like to watch the sky at night. I got a huge telescope at home. A few days ago, when I was looking at the moon in idleness, I suddenly saw a dark and unclear point. Then I So I calculated its trajectory and found that it was the broom star."
Seeing that Han Du's words were clear and logical and didn't look like he was telling lies, Lao Zhu didn't know what to say. With trembling fingers, he pointed at Han Du: "You, you really saw it?"
"It's absolutely true." Han Du nodded and replied.
After the words fell, both Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao looked at Han Du with dumbfounded expressions. Suddenly, their attitudes toward Han Du changed somewhat in their expressions.
Han Du noticed the change in Lao Zhu and immediately smiled relaxedly: "Your Majesty, there is nothing strange about this. Not only the minister, but also anyone who looks through the telescope can see it with their own eyes. If the Emperor doesn't believe it, you can go now You can tell by looking at your home."
Lao Zhu's eyes widened, he pointed back at himself, and asked blankly: "I, can I see it too?"
"certainly."
What else is there to say? Lao Zhu immediately waved his hand and said, "Show me."
Han Du placed the telescope in an attic with an excellent view. Almost no one except Han Du would use it on weekdays. The reflector of the telescope was made by Han Du from two huge pieces of glass, which he polished bit by bit by hand, which took Han Du a lot of time.
As for the other lenses, Handu also worked hard to improve them. I don’t know how many lenses were wasted before selecting such a suitable set.
Han Du took Lao Zhu to the attic, opened the door and invited Lao Zhu in.
As soon as Lao Zhu entered the door, he saw a huge wooden carved tube. There was only this thing and a chair in the entire attic. Obviously, this thing is the telescope Han Du mentioned.
"Is this also a telescope?" Lao Zhu asked doubtfully. He has naturally seen telescopes, and Lao Zhu himself has several hand-held monocular telescopes.
But although this thing is similar to a telescope, the difference is huge. Ordinary telescopes have two tubes, one large and one small, but this one is one. The mirror is made of two tubes, one large and one small, but this one is one.
