The empress praised Qian Yu in front of everyone.
Chen Guogong said angrily: "What I mean is that the ordnance needs to be replaced. The army guards the border for the country. It eats the wind and drinks the dew. In addition to money and food expenses, it also needs clothing for the winter."
All said and done, he just continued to cause problems and wanted money.
None of the officials said a word, just watching the struggle between imperial power and prime minister power.
The empress smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will not treat any sergeant badly. There will be military pay and military supplies. Little King Qianyu will arrange for people to transport him, but for the sake of money and food insurance, Little King Qianyu will recruit some sergeants." , specifically used to transport supplies.”
"It's absolutely inappropriate."
Chen Yuan was shocked.
Qian Yu now has a thousand soldiers, which is already a problem. It would be better if he were given more military power, let alone unlimited expansion of recruitment.
The empress said nothing, picked up the teacup and shook it. Chen Yuru said: "Brother, what's wrong? The money is originally the expense of Xincheng. It is reasonable and reasonable for Xincheng to escort you. If someone shares your Majesty's worries, why do you and Prince Qianyu have to work so hard?" .”
Chen Guogong laughed angrily, looking like a black-hearted cotton-padded jacket, with his elbows turned outward.
"Queen, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion can take care of things like transporting money and food. Since little King Qianyu has a great talent, he should stay close to the new city and continue to prepare for the construction of the new city for His Majesty."
"Really? I wonder which general in the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army can help me take care of my worries?"
The empress glanced at the entire audience without hesitation.
When the generals heard this, they were ready to make a move. That was tens of millions of taels of silver. However, they could not get the money even if they came forward. At most, they would do a hard job. In the end, all the benefits would fall into the hands of Chen Guogong, and they would become two people. Victims of power struggles.
Strangely, no general stepped forward.
Chen Guogong frowned. Before this happened, the generals of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion cowered.
Zhao An almost laughed out loud. Does the old fox treat others as tools or fools?
Who would do such a thankless job?
Thinking of this, she secretly poked the empress, who realized later and said, "My lord, there is no need to worry about weapons. I have got a good thing. Today I will show it to you all to see if it can be used for military equipment. "
The officials were a little puzzled as to what good thing could be so mysterious.
"Come with me."
The empress stood up, and Zhao An and Chen Yuru hurriedly followed, followed by Chen Guogong and all the guests.
Now a clear space is needed to demonstrate.
Chen Guogong led everyone to the back garden, where there was a huge open space that was suitable for use.
The empress joked: "If any damage is caused, I hope the Duke will not blame you."
"Your Majesty, you may show it, but I dare not say more."
Chen Guogong is so old that he doesn't worry about what good things the emperor can come up with. Anyway, he has decided to settle the money and there is no way he can give it to the border troops!
The empress winked, and Zhao An took a cylindrical thing from the guards in front of everyone, then lit the fuse and threw it into the open space.
The empress immediately covered Chen Yuru's ears, while two imperial guards protected the two of them.
Everyone else present was confused, and the next second they saw Zhao An throwing himself down and holding his head.
"Eunuch Zhao, what are you doing?"
Chen Yuan curled his lips and wanted to say something sarcastic, but before he could finish his words, he heard a loud roar and the earth trembled.
The violent explosion overturned countless amounts of soil and poured it down like heavy rain, leaving everyone covered in gray and gray. Thick smoke enveloped the open space.
Everyone was frightened and stunned.
The sound just now was like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, which shook three of their souls out of their bodies and caused a brief tinnitus.
Looking at the land again, there was a scorched black mark half a meter in diameter, and a nearby stone was blown to pieces.
Everyone looked horrified.
What the hell is this?
terrible!
If it were thrown at someone, it would probably not explode into a pile of minced meat.
The empress was also shocked to the point that her ears were ringing, but as an emperor, how could she cover her ears?
The Chen family and others looked at her in astonishment. Now they all understood why the emperor helped the queen cover her ears. Not only were they frightened, but they also ate a mouthful of dog food. Is there any justice?
At this moment, Chen Guogong's expression could almost drip with tears, "Your Majesty, what is this?"
The empress forced her groggy brain and said calmly: "Explosives were invented by a master craftsman. This is a relatively weak type. If iron beads are added to it, once it explodes, the killing range can be more than ten feet. Moreover, the fuse of this thing is waterproof and can be ignited on rainy days. With it, there is no need to worry about the unrest at the frontier or the rebellion in the country."
The empress looked at Chen Guogong with a smile, and for the first time in her life, she uttered the word "rebellion" in front of him.
The whole Chen family was in an uproar.
How the hell are you going to fight this?
Attacking the imperial city requires a large army. It is so dense that it is a living target. As long as the imperial guards guard the red wall of the palace, if they are thrown down in one round, as many as they come will die. The armor cannot withstand the impact and the flying iron pellets. This is comparable to The battlefield meat grinder is much crueler.
Some generals couldn't help but feel numb when imagining the tragic scene.
Chen Guogong could say nothing more.
The emperor came prepared and took out a big killer weapon to warn Chen not to seek death.
The empress was very satisfied with Chen Guogong's current expression and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, times have changed."
"Such divine artifacts should be equipped to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army as soon as possible."
Chen Guogong gritted his teeth and said something.
Not to mention hundreds of officials, even Chen Yuan, the direct descendants of the Jiang family and the Chen family were all in embarrassment.
The emperor finally managed to find a killer weapon, but he actually wanted the emperor to hand it over. Isn’t this a dream?
The empress laughed and patted Chen Guogong on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Duke. These divine objects will be equipped in the army sooner or later. It's just that I don't have money, so I can't prepare them on a large scale for the time being. I can only use them to defend the forbidden palace temporarily."
The empress took Chen Yuru's hand and left, followed by hundreds of officials, their eyes full of fear and fear.
They have to reconsider their allegiance.
With the powerful weapon of imperial power strengthened like never before, Chen's chances of winning seemed to begin to decline.
Chen Guogong looked at the crowd going away and clenched his fists tightly.
He regretted it.
Why not force the palace earlier and deal with the little emperor earlier!
Now that the emperor has support, it is unrealistic to press for the palace again, unless Chen Yuru can be persuaded to turn around and support the Chen family and take control of the imperial guards.
But this was impossible. The young emperor promised the crown prince position in public, and Chen Yuru could not rebel against the emperor for the sake of the child in her belly, because the Chen family could not give her son that position.
Shi Donghai whispered: "Master, for the present plan, I can only promise the queen, promise to keep the prince, and let her return with peace of mind."
"Do you think she will trust me?"
Chen Guogong resented injustice.
Today, the situation is completely out of control, and even he is still confused.
The situation was obviously very good, but why did it change so quickly?
