"But if we don't stop the tyrant, our plan will fall short! We have already dug into the Chongwen Sect!"
Wang Yuru, the king of all living beings, said to a group of gentry rather impatiently.
"There is also gunpowder, which I secretly transported from Wang Gong's factory to the cellar of a private house and hid it, but it must have been discovered in the past few days. Both the Gunpowder Bureau and Wang Gong Factory are now under strict control! In addition, there is no Wang Gong The factory's specially designed warehouse for gunpowder will agglomerate after being stored in the cellar of an ordinary house for a long time. If we can't dig a tunnel to blow up the tyrant this time, we won't have such a good chance in the future!"
said Zhang Jian, Ambassador of the Ministry of Industry.
"The same goes for digging tunnels. We have worked hard for more than half a year, just waiting to blow up the tyrant recently and change the world! But now, if the tyrant really leaves, it will take at least half a year to come back. By then, no one knows whether it will happen or not. What other changes will happen!"
Wang Yuru nodded.
"Yes, just like before, he suddenly stopped living in Qianqing Palace and changed to live in Daming Garden. This made our plan of digging tunnels and blowing him up very difficult. It is said that there are many pavilions and pavilions in Daming Garden, which makes it even more difficult. We have figured out where he lives, and now we can only wait until he attends the grand ceremony to blow up him and the gang of treacherous ministers in the Huangji Palace area! But the tyrant is now leaving the capital, which will undoubtedly increase the variables. Who knows when he will come back Participating in the ceremony, the water potential of this underground foundation stone is constantly changing. In addition, the longer it is delayed, the greater the possibility of Dongchang discovering it."
Juren Fang Heng also nodded.
Zhu Youxiao's implementation of the New Deal severely damaged the interests of the powerful gentry. Although most of them have resigned themselves to their fate or have transformed into a new type of powerful gentry, that is, they have changed land management to capital management. However, there are still some radical extremes because of the damage to their interests. People do extreme things.
These are basically the lower levels of the ruling class.
In particular, after Zhu Youxiao had decreed that the officials and gentry should receive grain from one body, these people who did not have much business operations and lived a leisurely life relying only on the government and gentry's preferential treatment were even more dissatisfied.
At this time, these gentry who conspired to dig tunnels to blow up Zhu Youxiao were the lower class gentry.
"Or forget it. Even if the tyrant doesn't leave the city, it's hard to say whether he can dig into the palace city or blow up the tyrant. Besides, there are such big changes now, and Gunpowder really can't delay it!"
Zhang Jian said a little uneasily.
"Then let everyone who is digging the tunnel come out?"
Wang Yuru asked and said, "It's a pity when you think about it. It took us a lot of effort to dig the tunnel!"
"Retreat! After all, it is a disaster for the nine clans. If we can get rid of the tyrant with 100% certainty, it will be nothing. But now that the tyrant is leaving, Gunpowder cannot delay for too long, and it is not necessarily possible to blow up the tyrant. It’s better to just say it and forget it.”
Fang Heng suggested.
"Okay! I'll tell them to withdraw!"
Wang Yuru nodded.
"On the other hand, when evacuating, you can only come out in the morning, not at night. Curfews are very strict in every neighborhood now. There are many officers and soldiers patrolling, and there are many overt and covert sentries. Once discovered, they will be arrested and tortured as spies. It’s amazing! In the afternoon, there are too many people, and crawling out from the ground will also make people suspicious. We can only crawl out quietly in the morning, stay in the house and hide, and wait for the gates of various squares and city gates to open before coming out again. suitable."
Zhang Jian suggested.
Wang Yuru therefore replied: "I know!"
…
On this day, Zhu Youxiao left the capital and came to Liaodong with his queen, the unpregnant young concubine and the six princes born in the third year of Tianqi.
In order to leave the capital as soon as possible, Zhu Youxiao ordered that the ceremony of leaving the palace should be simple on the grounds of not disturbing the people as much as possible. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao left in a hurry without reviewing the troops first or accepting the farewell from the ministers staying in the capital. To the capital.
But for sanitation worker Zhang Zhen, even if the emperor left the capital, he still started going out before dawn every day to clean the neighborhoods he was responsible for.
Because sanitation workers like Zhang Zhen would also be organized for study by officials from the Mission Department, Zhang Zhen knew that he had a very important responsibility. The sanitation of the capital and the safety of His Majesty the Emperor had a lot to do with whether he fulfilled his duties.
And because of this, Zhang Zhen began to have a strong sense of mission, which made him, who was already old and frail, begin to feel that he was not old and useless.
Older people care more about whether they are still useful to society.
Zhang Zhen is naturally no exception.
However, at dawn the next day after the emperor left the capital, Zhang Zhen just came out of the house and saw a bluestone brick suddenly moving and making a slight rattle.
The neighbors in this area were all his relatives and friends, so he easily entered a neighbor's house and hid, looking at the loose bluestone in secret.
Soon, Zhang Zhen saw that the bluestone slab was moved away, revealing a hole, and a person's head popped out of the hole, and then, a person came out.
Zhang Zhen also saw these people running into a house opposite.
For a moment, Zhang Zhen felt bad, and when these people were not paying attention, he left the workshop and went to the Dongchang contact point.
"Sure enough, there is a hole in the ground. It's quite long. It leads directly to the direction of Huangji Palace! It seems that the fabric is on the right side. Damn it, someone is really so bold and dares to do such a thing under the nose of our Dongchang. thing!"
Li Ruolian of Dongchang couldn't help but said to Sun Yunhe.
Sun Yunhe's face turned cold: "Catch all the people in that room and send them to prison. Use black incense first, and then send people to take a look in the tunnel. I will report to the factory supervisor immediately! In addition, send people Go and inform Xu Qian that he is also responsible for the Imperial Guard and has the right to seal the city first and then report it. The city must be sealed to prevent anyone from escaping!"
Sun Yunhe got on the horse as he spoke, then looked back at Zhang Zhen: "Old man, you have made a great contribution!"
…
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. According to your wishes, the first batch of concrete produced by the Engineering Institute has been sealed underground around the Daming Garden and the Palace City. If anyone wants to dig a tunnel, they will not be able to dig through it. The emperor's heirs and ladies who are staying in the capital should be fine. In addition, on the outside of the concrete, I have arranged underground monitors according to your wishes. If anyone really dares to dig a tunnel, he will be discovered as long as he digs the roots of the imperial city."
Zhu Youxiao was also asking Wang Chengen about the defense of the inner court.
Although he was not sure whether the Wang Gong Factory explosion in history was caused by someone digging a tunnel to the palace, then stuffing explosives in the palace to blow up the emperor, and the officials deliberately exaggerating it to make it look like a miraculous disaster from heaven, but just in case, he still I would rather believe that there is something wrong than believe that there is nothing, so I still let people make arrangements for digging tunnels to get themselves involved.
After all, he is the emperor, and he is not short of money. Even if his efforts are in vain, it doesn't matter.
And now, because Zhu Youxiao was living close to the time when the Wang Gong Factory explosion occurred in history, he once again asked Wang Chengen, who was responsible for strengthening the inner court defense project, about the matter.
After hearing Wang Chengen's reply, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "It's okay."
However, at this moment, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly came over: "Your Majesty! A major case has been discovered in Dongchang!"
Not long after, Zhu Youxiao found out that someone was digging a tunnel.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being silent for a long time, and then said: "Sure enough, you can be careful! The people behind it will be scrutinized strictly. No matter the master or accomplice, they are all barbarians! Since you dare to do such a thing, don't blame me for being cruel!"
