Qin Ying's face darkened. He hid brass and forged armor privately. This was because he didn't take him seriously as the emperor. Could it be that these nine sons had forces that he didn't know about and were secretly supporting him?
Qin Ying said in a deep voice: "Qin Yun, I ask you if this is the case!"
Qin Yun smiled: "Father, I do have copper in my house! However, this copper is not kept privately, but bought from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce. I have the transaction certificate in my hand. Besides, the copper I use is Used as a birthday gift for the Queen Mother!"
Qin Xian: "Nonsense, Father. According to what I know, Qin Yun purchased a total of two to three hundred thousand taels of silver in brass. Not to mention where he got so much silver. How could it be possible to buy brass in such a large quantity?" Are all the brass used to celebrate the birthday of the Imperial Grandmother?"
"Qin Yun, you'd better recruit truthfully! Who are your other accomplices in the court?"
At this time Qin Tian also stood up.
"Father, everything my fifth brother said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask the big boss of the World Chamber of Commerce for confirmation!"
Qin Ying glanced downwards, and Bai Wanqing stood up on the wooden table and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the people can testify that this is indeed true! However, the daughter of the people believes that the Ninth Prince has no intention of arrogance, let alone any act of arrogance!"
Qin Ying asked: "Where did the silver for the copper he purchased come from?"
Bai Wanqing replied cheerfully: "Your Majesty, it was the Ninth Prince who sold a secret recipe to the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce in exchange for the reward. You should know that ice cubes that have been sold in large quantities in the capital recently were invented by the Ninth Prince, and the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce When doing business, you have always been honest, so it is normal for the Ninth Prince to come here because of his reputation and transfer the secret recipe to us!"
As soon as these words came out, the second prince, who was originally indifferent, gritted his teeth.
He didn't expect that Qin Yun actually had this skill. If it were other people, Qin Hao would have plenty of ways to deal with them. After all, he already had control over the saltpeter mines around the capital.
But the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, as its name suggests, conducts business all over the world, and even his father has to worry about it.
Qin Ying nodded when he heard this.
"I understand. Shopkeeper Bai, please take a seat!"
"Xian'er, the matter has been found out, please retreat first."
Qin Xian obviously didn't want to let Qin Yun go.
"Father, even if we find out the source of the silver, it still doesn't prove that Qin Yun didn't hide the brass or make armor privately!"
"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to the house to check if there are any weapons. Moreover, he also specially raised a master of weapons forging. His name is Lu Ban. I think you have heard of his name before!"
"Moreover, the iron mine that Qin Yun specially requested from the Qian family was given to Master Lu!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Qin Yun.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Master Lu is only staying in the house temporarily. As for the armor you call, it is a gift I prepared for the Queen Mother."
Qin Xian wanted to say something, but the Queen Mother got straight to the essence of the problem.
"Qin Yun, you said you prepared gifts for the Ai family. The Ai family would like to see what kind of surprises more than 200,000 taels of brass and a master forger can prepare!"
"If the name is not worthy of the name, Emperor, then act according to the law!"
Qin Yun said: "Queen Mother, my grandson is filial and has been slandered time and time again! If it can be proven that all these things were done to prepare gifts for the Queen Mother, what crime should the slanderer face?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Qin Xian again.
Qin Xian snorted coldly: "Qin Yun, stop pretending. I have already found out clearly that there are no armors or private soldiers. How could you escape the assassination so easily? If it weren't for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, you Thought you..."
Qin Tian immediately interrupted.
"Ninth brother, naturally you act according to the law. Hiding brass and armor privately, according to the laws of Daxia, this is a crime of treason!"
"If you are proven innocent, the person who falsely accused you should be punished equally!"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "It seems that you two brothers are sure that I, Qin Yun, am guilty, right?"
"In that case, please take a look!"
…
Qin Yun walked to the box and opened the curtain. A bright yellow gaze caught everyone's attention. It turned out to be strange long tubes made of brass.
To be precise, they were fireworks made by Qin Yun. Of course, the brass was just a coating brushed on the surface. Ever since the day Qin Yun got the brass from Bai Wanqing, he had already expected the current scene.
After all, there is no airtight wall in the world. Instead of being reported, it is better to take advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday party to clean up all this. This is why Qin Yun arranged for Master Lu and others to leave the capital in advance.
Since returning from the last competition with Qi State, except for Qin Hao, who had made trouble for him, the rest of them were still holding back their nerves.
Sure enough, someone made trouble today!
Qin Xian snorted coldly: "Are you going to give the brass to the emperor's grandmother?"
Qin Yun said: "Wrong! This king wants to pray to the sky, so that the sky can bring good fortune to the emperor's grandmother."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone laughed.
Since ancient times, how can anyone pray for auspiciousness?
Even Qin Ying felt that it was a bit outrageous. If Qin Yun could really ask for it, wouldn't it mean that he was closer to the sky than the emperor himself?
Moreover, Qin Ying had long since disbelieved all those gods and ghosts!
In the past, like other emperors, he also wanted to live forever. For this reason, he was often tricked by alchemists!
Later, I killed a group of people and buried a group of them, but I gave up the idea from then on.
However, Qin Ying hated other people's pretense even more.
Concubine Xiao sneered when she saw this, praying for good luck, Qin Yun is seeking death!
The eldest prince also sneered again and again, while the third prince was speechless, but his disdain in his eyes was even greater. Before he returned to the capital, he heard that the ninth brother had suddenly become enlightened and had a lot of cultural relics, so he thought he was a respectable opponent.
Now it seems that he is also a pretender. He may have some talents, but they are just trivial and not worth mentioning!
The fourth prince stared at Qin Yun. Since Shuang'er's death, he had not thought about food or tea. All he thought about every day was how to kill him. Unfortunately, the Yang family's shadow guards did not take action.
It would be great if you take this opportunity to add insult to injury!
Only Shen Yue was thoughtful.
At this time, Qin Yun had already taken out the homemade matches from his arms.
"What? You don't believe it!"
Qin Xian: "Stop pretending to be a fool. If you can really ask for auspiciousness, I, Qin Xian, will twist my head off and give you a Cuju kick!"
Qin Yun smiled: "Fifth brother, you said this yourself, I didn't force you!"
"My lords and envoys, does anyone want to have a little bet with me? Just bet, can I ask for good fortune?"
One of the ministers chuckled lightly: "I wonder if, Your Highness, the Ninth Highness, is there anything worthy of my bet?"
Qin Yun said: "Silver! Miss Bai can guarantee me. If nothing else, I can still get two to three hundred thousand taels."
Someone snorted softly: "Okay, today is the Queen Mother's birthday. We also want to see what the Ninth Prince is capable of?"
"I bet five hundred taels that the Ninth Prince won't be able to get this auspiciousness!"
"I have donated all my money, so let's do it this way. If the Ninth Prince can ask for good fortune, I will bow down to him nine times when I see him in the future! If the Ninth Prince loses, I will make a price of five hundred taels."
"I bet a thousand taels!"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "Okay, we will welcome everyone who comes. Miss Bai, please help me remember it. You will also be responsible for settling the claim when the time comes!"
Bai Wanqing frowned. She didn't know what Qin Yun was trying to do, but after seeing those strange and weird things, she instinctively chose to believe Qin Yun.
Seeing this, Shen Yue frowned even more nervously.
When Shen Wansan saw that the emperor had no objection, he was also very interested and prepared to speak.
"I bet five..."
But she was pulled by Shen Yue and she shook her head.
Qin Yun smiled and said nothing when he saw this.
"Everyone is determined to leave!"
After saying that, he lit the match and then lit the fireworks.
Everyone was startled when they heard a rumble, but when they looked up at the sky.
But I saw a line of large characters sparsely written in the sky.
"I wish the Queen Mother of Daxia a long life!"
Phew~~
At this moment, everyone was shocked. Foreign envoys, courtiers of Great Xia, and even Emperor Qin Ying were all stunned.
what is this? They have never seen the colorful fonts written on the sky!
The emperor blinked and suddenly bowed to the sky.
"The Emperor of Daxia thanked Cangtian for his surrogate mother!"
As soon as the emperor knelt down, the ministers dared not stand. When he did, they all began to silently make wishes in their hearts. Some wished to be promoted and make a fortune, and some wished to find a right husband...
It looked like a modern person seeing a shooting star!
Qin Yun also pretended to kneel on the ground and performed vividly:
"I didn't expect that Heaven would be really moved by my filial piety!"
"Could it be that I am really the son of destiny?"
Everyone looked at it together!
