No matter how relaxed Liu Deng said, how could Zhang Tu not understand the seriousness of this matter in his heart?
Having been in officialdom for many years, of course he was very clear about the twists and turns in the court. Now he only hated himself for why he was busy with those mundane affairs in the first place, which caused Liu Deng to get into a huge disaster.
"Don't worry, Master Taifu, this matter is really not as serious as you think!"
Seeing Zhang Tu's worried look, Liu Deng quickly said with a playful smile.
"Alas... Your Majesty, even though you are His Majesty's direct grandson, in the face of the inheritance of the throne, I am afraid that His Majesty will not consider these things at all. You still have to be extremely careful. You must know that you have always been your companion through the ages. It’s like accompanying a tiger!”
There were only two of them here, so Zhang Tu didn't have so many scruples when he spoke.
Liu Deng just smiled, then reached out and patted Zhang Tu on the shoulder.
It seems that his cheap father is really good at managing people. You must know that the Taifu has always represented the imperial court.
Zhang Tu could say these words because he really regarded Liu Deng as his junior and one of his own.
"I'll leave it to the Tutor to deal with the affairs in the country. Don't worry about the affairs in Chang'an City. There will definitely not be any big trouble!"
"Your Majesty, leave early and come back early. On behalf of the country and the people, they are still waiting for you to lead them to live a good life!"
When Zhang Tu said this, he actually burst into tears.
Liu Deng just smiled, then turned and left. This time he went to Chang'an, I'm afraid he would have to stay for a long time, but Liu Deng was not worried about his safety.
As long as Dai Guo's army is still there, there is absolutely no problem with his own safety.
No matter how angry the emperor is with himself or how fearful he is, he still can't take him down at this time!
At most, it's just a few words, as long as you show enough respect.
Compared with what the emperor said, Liu Deng was more worried about Liu Bi.
Liu Bi, this old guy, should have turned against him at this time, and he never knew when he would start taking action.
I gave him a great opportunity this time, but if he is not ready to take action at this time, I am afraid that the group of ambitious people under his command will not agree either.
King Zhao Liu Sui was headstrong and greedy for pleasure. When he was alive, he was almost useless.
But once he dies, the mentality of the princes in the world will probably change immediately.
However, now that he has gunpowder, Liu Deng is no longer worried about them.
After preparing for so long, aren't they the ones waiting?
Even if Liu Bi doesn't take action this time, Liu Deng is ready to add fuel to his anger.
At this time, only by detonating this mine in advance can we minimize their harm.
"Come here, deliver this box to Mr. Cai, and then send someone to the valley outside the city to send the craftsmen I have appointed to Wuyan Institute! Tell them that within three days, I will see the finished product before setting off. !”
After returning to his study, Liu Deng sorted out the prototypes of gunpowder weapons that he remembered, put them in a wooden box, handed them to Du Ziteng and said.
"promise!"
Before he went to Chang'an, Liu Deng hoped that these things could reach the level of mass production, even if they were simply filled with black powder.
But in this day and age, this thing is already shocking!
The Wuhan Academy now is different from before. Before, from beginning to end, there were only two old men from the Huyan family.
But now, Liu Deng packed hundreds of people up and down.
Among these people, the Mohist disciples were the most numerous.
Although Liu Deng still approves of the improvements they have made to crossbows during this period, in Liu Deng's view, the era of cold weapons will eventually pass. Now that gunpowder has appeared, these hot weapons should also be put on the agenda. !
It seems that in the coming days, the Wuhan Institute will become a money-burning machine.
Although the musket cannot be made by oneself for the time being, there is still no problem with the artillery.
Compared with firearms, artillery has much smaller material requirements. After all, if quality is not enough, weight can be used to make up for it.
Anyway, most of the current Han army is fighting to defend the city, and in these days, people don't generally believe in things like gods and ghosts.
Just the huge sound of this thing gives it an inherent advantage.
Even if the power of this thing is limited, the huge sound and terrifying range are enough to boost morale.
Moreover, even if there are no artillery for these gunpowder throwing weapons Liu Deng created, the existing trebuchets are enough to throw them into the right position.
As long as the problem of uneven combustion of the fuse is solved, the detonation time can even be strictly controlled.
Cai Xin would never let Liu Deng down. After receiving the drawings sent by Liu Deng, the first test explosion was carried out at noon the next day.
The huge sound shocked everyone. Even Liu Deng, who was several miles away, could hear the huge sound clearly.
Liu Deng suddenly thought that it seemed that he should find a good place for the Wuhan Academy.
After all, what they are going to study next is really dangerous.
If they are left here in Jinyang City, there is no telling when, if they are not careful and do not control the weight, they will blow up the entire Jinyang City.
"Your Majesty, it's bad! It's a disaster!"
Just when Liu Deng was hesitating about where to place the Wuhan Academy.
Chen Qi hurriedly rushed in from outside the door, so panicked that he didn't even bother to salute Liu Deng.
"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly!"
Chen Qi has always been a stable person. To make him so excited, something big must have happened.
"Your Majesty, I have just received news that a white dog appeared with sharp horns on its forehead five days after the cow turned over in Yongcheng, Qidi. Now some people have begun to spread rumors that this minister is not good for the Lord!"
Chen Qi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He closed the door directly, lowered his voice and said to Liu Deng.
Liu Deng was stunned by what he said. He pondered for a long time and still didn't understand what this guy was talking about. He really didn't understand what the connection between the two things was...
"It's just an earthquake. What's so surprising about it? As for the white dog you mentioned growing horns, what does this have to do with me?"
Liu Deng looked confused.
This world is full of wonders, even if a mutated dog is born, it is not a strange thing.
After all, there are many weird animals in later generations. Who knows if this thing has eaten something it shouldn't?
Why does this have anything to do with the fact that some ministers are not good for the Lord?
