Before the other party could finish speaking, several imperial guards came forward and dragged the Nanliang envoy out of the Jinluan Palace.
Seeing this scene, the ministers kneeling on the ground were all trembling with fear.
At this moment, two figures appeared on the Jinluan Palace.
"Father, good news! I have great news to report to my father!"
The new crown prince of Southern Liang, Liang Zhengshu, appeared in front of the ministers. Standing next to him was the crown prince of Zhou Shaotian!
It turned out that Liang Zhengshu was the illegitimate son of Emperor Liang, who was born to his slaves after he was drunk. Logically speaking, Liang Zhengshu was not qualified to be the prince of Southern Liang.
But since Tang Yu took away all the Nanliang princes, Emperor Liang remembered his illegitimate son and made an exception to make Liang Zhengshu the new prince.
Originally, Emperor Liang was very dissatisfied with his illegitimate son, but as time went by, Emperor Liang also changed his view of Liang Zhengshu. Although Liang Zhengshu was not as smart as Liang Bo, he was very thoughtful and knew how to observe words and emotions, which is very pleasing.
"Shu'er is here."
Seeing Liang Zhengshu appear here, Emperor Liang's expression softened, and all the ministers also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shu'er, what good news do you want to tell your father?" Emperor Liang sat on the dragon chair again, his tone was tepid, giving people a feeling of calmness and authority.
Hearing this, Liang Zhengshu and Zhou Shaotian looked at each other, and they took out the exquisite box from the package on their backs.
"Father, please look!"
Liang Zhengshu opened the wooden box, and what was inside was an extremely crude musket!
And inside Zhou Shaotian's wooden box was a bottle of black powder.
In an instant, Emperor Liang suddenly stood up from the throne, his brows filled with disbelief.
Although he didn't know what it was, it looked like a weapon, and it was similar to the modern weapons of the Tang Dynasty! "Shu'er, this is..."
Liang Zhengshu smiled and said: "Back to my father, this weapon is called a musket. It is the latest weapon invented in the Western Regions. I have personally tested it. Although it is not as effective as the weapon of the Tang Dynasty, its power is far greater than that of the Tang Dynasty!"
After that, Liang Zhengshu picked up the musket and pulled the trigger. Dense bullet holes appeared on the stone pillars beside him!
hiss.
There was a gasp of air from the entire audience, and all the ministers looked in disbelief.
Even stone pillars can be penetrated, wouldn't it mean that if they hit people...
Emperor Liang was also ecstatic, and his face was filled with joy and he said, "Shu'er, how did you get it? Tell me about it, father!"
"Back to my father, I got this unexpectedly. Speaking of which, I have to thank Prince Zhou. If it weren't for Brother Zhou's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get this gun and gunpowder."
It turned out that Liang Zhengshu and Zhou Shaotian were drinking in a tavern and happened to meet a businessman from the Western Regions. The businessman came to Nanliang to sell muskets and gunpowder.
After understanding all the ins and outs, Emperor Liang suddenly smiled from ear to ear. This was also the happiest time for him in so many days!
"Hahaha, good, good! Well done to Shu'er. I didn't expect that even the envoys I sent out could not find the Western Region, but Shu'er found him and got me such a good weapon!" Emperor Liang was extremely satisfied. He patted Liang Zhengshu on the shoulder.
With these weapons, Nanliang no longer has to fear Datang!
"Father, I have detained the merchants from the Western Regions in the tavern. I am going to take people to the Western Regions to buy all the muskets and gunpowder!"
Liang Zhengshu glanced at Zhou Shaotian beside him, who had an intriguing smile on his lips.
"Emperor Liang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. How about our two countries joining forces?"
