Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen, both monarchs and ministers, knew very well what the other party was thinking.
It's a pity that fate is always so helpless.
Outside Uncle Chengyi's residence, Zhu Yuanzhang was already on his way back to the palace.
The main purpose of his coming today was to beat Liu Bowen so that he would not intercede for Yang Xian.
This is not an expression of dissatisfaction with Liu Bowen, but a kind of love for Liu Bowen.
If Liu Bowen really begged for mercy, then his plea for mercy would definitely become an attack point for the Huaixi Party in the DPRK.
And what Yang Xian did was too serious.
At that time, once the situation becomes serious, even the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to handle it so easily.
That's why he came here early today.
"Su Jing, Su Jing, if I had listened to you, maybe things wouldn't be like this."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly.
Although Lao Zhu has a remedy for the current situation, for him, this matter is not what he expected at the beginning.
In Chengyi's house, Liu Bowen's expression was a little complicated.
On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's arrival indicates that Yang Xian's end is destined to become a killed chicken to scare monkeys.
This shows that Yang Xian was so wrong that there was no possibility of redemption.
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to come forward on his own initiative shows that he still retains a lot of righteousness between the emperor and his subjects. Liu Bowen clearly understood the meaning of protecting himself.
All I can say is that Liu Bowen was both sad and happy about this incident.
But when she thought about what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Su Jing had already figured out Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, and even clearly stated the consequences of Yang Xian becoming prime minister.
Liu Bowen became more and more worried about Su Jing.
Since ancient times, the king's heart is unpredictable, and those who can understand the king's heart are already quite dangerous, let alone Su Jing who can directly predict Lao Zhu's thoughts in advance.
Even with Zhu Yuanzhang's personal assurance that he would not do anything to Su Jing, Liu Bowen's worries did not diminish at all.
When the Ming Dynasty was still uncertain, the relationship between Lao Zhu and him was so close that it almost reached the point where they were treated as honored guests.
But what now?
My current self is the best example.
Zhu Yuanzhang's promise is timely.
Su Jing's performance became more and more powerful, and Liu Bowen became more and more worried about Su Jing's situation.
However, Liu Bowen had no way to help Su Jing. He couldn't do anything like go directly to Su Jing, because it would only deepen Lao Zhu's suspicion.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su, you should have seen this clearly. Why are you talking about it?"
Liu Bowen was puzzled and couldn't figure out Su Jing's purpose of doing this.
Su Jing, who was able to create such shocking theories, would definitely not be able to see through this. This was exactly what Liu Bowen did not understand.
There is no need to say more about the principle of accompanying a king like a tiger.
And Su Jing is not as loyal to the Ming Dynasty as she is, and she is just free and easy.
Liu Bowen thought for a long time and could only come to one conclusion, that is, Su Jing was not worried about these things at all, or was simply not afraid.
I am not afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, may turn his back on him.
Thinking of this, Liu Bowen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't know what kind of confidence Su Jing had to not be afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was willing to believe in Su Jing.
the other side.
At the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhu Biao and Su Jing have arrived.
In the design room, Su Jing looked at the design sketch of the firearms bureau that had been drawn and looked at it carefully.
Su Jing didn't understand the load-bearing structure very well, but he knew the firearm manufacturing process very well, including design, smelting, mold making, pouring, stripping, beating, assembly...
Su Jing knew all the steps.
How to allocate these tasks more rationally and arrange them in the most appropriate position is what Su Jing has to do now.
Facing the already designed sketch, Su Jing directly picked up the pen and prepared to write and mark the drawings.
When Zhang Bing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, saw this scene, his heart couldn't help but beat a little.
These design drawings were designed by Prince Zhu Biao personally at the request of the Ministry of Industry. Now Su Jing actually painted directly on the original drawings, simply not taking their hard work into consideration.
Even though Su Jing was brought by Prince Zhu Biao, Zhang Bing still felt quite unhappy.
"Is there any glass? Find me some glass."
Su Jing said directly to Zhang Bing on the side.
Zhang Bing was stunned, and Zhu Biao immediately urged: "Master Zhang, hurry up and find a piece of glass."
"yes."
Zhang Bing nodded and then found a piece of glass.
However, Su Jing just glanced at it and said directly: "It's too small. Get a bigger one, at least as big as this picture."
Zhang Bing didn't understand what Su Jing was thinking, but Zhu Biao was here, and he had no choice but to obey Su Jing's orders.
"yes."
Not long after, Zhang Bing found another piece of glass, which was quite large.
Su Jing said: "Here, put it on this design."
Zhang Bing immediately followed Su Jing's instructions and covered the glass, and then he found that Su Jing began to make changes directly on the glass.
In an instant, Zhang Bing understood everything.
Su Jing takes advantage of the transparent nature of glass to achieve the purpose of directly annotating on the design drawing without destroying the original design drawing.
This scene made Zhang Bing dumbfounded. Could it still be like this?
Su Jing's operation was something he had never thought of before.
"Wonderful! It's so wonderful! Mr. Zhang Bing admires your talent!"
Zhang Bing couldn't help but said to Su Jing.
Su Jing raised her head and said calmly: "It's just a layered canvas, nothing to brag about."
Although Su Jing was the president of a listed company in his previous life, he has mastered many basic skills.
The method of covering the glass on the drawing paper is exactly the layered canvas in PS.
It was a very simple operation, but Su Jing didn't think there was anything special about it.
"Okay, Sir Zhang, let's go out first."
Zhu Biao said directly to Zhang Bing that he did not want Su Jing to be disturbed and affect the progress.
Zhang Bing could only follow Zhu Biao and leave the room where Su Jing was.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
As soon as he came out, Zhang Bing immediately saluted Zhu Biao.
Just because when he first arrived, Zhu Biao warned Zhang Bing not to reveal his identity.
Zhu Biao said calmly: "Shilang Zhang, it doesn't have to be like this. I'm just accompanying you as a student of Master Su. You just have to do your job well."
Master Su?
Only then did Zhang Bing realize that the Su Jing in front of him was actually the famous Ren Yuanbo Su Jing!
"Is that Uncle Ren Yuan?"
Zhang Bing said in disbelief, and then he realized how stupid he was.
Besides Su Jing, who else could make Prince Zhu Biao be so respectful, and whom he didn't even know?
It can only be Su Jing!
As for Su Jing's name, Zhang Bing had heard too many times.
Especially the movable pulley pioneered by Su Jing, which really allowed the Ministry of Works to reduce a lot of manpower expenditures. It was simply a stroke of genius!
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, now Master Su is only here to provide suggestions for revising the design drawings of the Firearms Bureau. I don't want to cause any other matters to get out of hand. Do you understand?"
Zhu Biao said to Zhang Bing.
Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet taken the initiative to show Su Jing in front of civil and military officials, and Su Jing herself is not very willing to enter the court.
Therefore, Zhu Biao did not want Su Jing's identity to be revealed in a big way at the Ministry of Industry.
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand."
Zhang Bing immediately bowed and replied, then he looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Your Highness, has Uncle Ren Yuan finished putting forward his opinions and confirmed the design, so that the Firearms Bureau can start construction?"
As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Bing must be happy to have a project.
This firearms bureau is a major project that Zhu Yuanzhang personally confirmed. Zhang Bing has been impatient for a long time, but the design drawings have not been confirmed yet, so he is very anxious.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, we will have to rely on the Ministry of Industry when the time comes."
Zhu Biao nodded and replied.
Zhang Bing immediately said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that the Ministry of Industry will do its best to ensure that the Firearms Bureau's project is completed quickly and well."
Zhu Biao didn't say anything more. In his opinion, Zhang Bing's guarantee was just the most basic thing.
If he can't do this well, then there is no need for him, the Minister of Industry, to continue doing it.
While Su Jing was staying at the Ministry of Industry, Yang Xian in Zhongshu Province had obtained Su Jing's current whereabouts.
The power gap between the right prime minister and the right prime minister is obvious, not to mention that Yang Xian is now dazzled by power. He has completely lost his previous caution and is very bold in doing things.
"Ministry of Industry? Or is it the prince? What on earth is this Su Jing doing?"
Yang Xian looked confused and couldn't figure out Su Jing's current situation.
But now he obviously does not intend to wait passively, he wants to take the initiative.
"Someone is coming."
As Yang Xian shouted, two officials immediately appeared in front of him.
"My lord, I'm here."
The two of them said respectfully to Yang Xian.
Yang Xian said coldly: "You two, go to the Ministry of Industry immediately. I want to know what the Ministry of Industry is doing now?"
The two officials were stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the matters of these six ministries have always been reported to him. If there is no case, we can't go there to investigate."
It is true that the Zhongshu Province is the center of the Ming Dynasty, and the position of Prime Minister You is also above the Six Ministers, but this does not mean that the Zhongshu Province is the superior unit of the Six Ministers. The relationship between the two is similar to the relationship between the central and local governments.
The central government's status is definitely higher than that of the local governments, but if Yang Xian directly asks people to investigate, the six departments may not necessarily buy it.
Of course, if there is an edict from the emperor, that is another matter.
These two Zhongshu Provincial officials obviously understood this truth, so they did not directly accept the order.
However, they misjudged how crazy Yang Xian was now.
"Humph? I am the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, so what about the six ministries? I will ask you again, are you going or not?"
Yang Xian looked at the two of them with stern expressions.
He would never show mercy to his disobedient subordinates. Being dismissed from his post was considered the best outcome. If he was unlucky, he might be exiled or beheaded.
"Yes, Prime Minister, I will leave immediately."
The two officials did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately accepted the order and left.
They were really scared.
Looking at the two people leaving, Yang Xian sneered and said: "Su Jing, you'd better not let the truth get hold of anything, otherwise, the truth will definitely make you understand the truth's methods."
If Su Jing were here, it would definitely be inexplicable.
He believed that he had no grudge against Yang Xian, and he didn't know why the other party had such hostility.
Ministry of Industry.
Su Jing completed her work quickly. After all, she just made some suggestions and did not need him to design.
He is a noble Party A, and he only cares about achieving the desired results. How to achieve them is a matter for the Ministry of Works.
"Thank you, Uncle Renyuan."
Zhang Bing bowed his hands to Su Jing and thanked her, his expression extremely grateful.
After all, Su Jing is the key to getting the Ministry of Works to start construction. If Su Jing doesn't come, we don't know when the Firearms Bureau project will start.
And Zhu Yuanzhang had no requirements for the completion time of the Firearms Bureau.
Su Jing smiled and said: "You're welcome, Mr. Zhang. I just made some random requests. If there are any unreasonable things, please point them out. Don't make any jokes because of my opinions."
Su Jing has not never experienced the gap between the drawings and the actual construction.
Many designs that are taken for granted often encounter many problems when they are actually implemented.
Su Jing made such a mistake when renovating her villa in her previous life. She forced herself to make some seemingly good designs because she was the owner.
The workers carried out the construction according to his requirements, and the final result was to achieve the effect Su Jing wanted, but it also caused many new problems. Su Jing could be said to have suffered a loss once.
Although due to her status, Su Jing will not have to bear the consequences even if something goes wrong, but the Ministry of Works is afraid that she will inevitably be punished.
So Su Jing still told them very considerately not to enforce it even after seeing the mistake.
"Uncle Ren Yuan is too humble."
Zhang Bing could only think that Su Jing was being modest. After all, Su Jing was the one who came up with such a genius design as the moving pulley, and also made a telescope.
It is only natural that such a powerful person is proficient in house design.
"Thank you Master Su. Now that things here are over, let's go back first."
Zhu Biao said to Su Jing.
Su Jing nodded: "Okay, let's go back."
As soon as the two of them arrived at Niu Mansion, Zhu Biao said: "Master Su, the student has something to do, so he needs to leave first."
Something's wrong?
Su Jing was stunned for a moment, but then she was relieved. After all, he was the prince, and it was normal for him to have many things.
"Then go ahead, I'll be fine."
Su Jing smiled.
Zhu Biao nodded and left Niu Mansion immediately.
At this moment, the two officials from the Ministry of Industry and Zhongshu Province also arrived. Although they knew that it was not in compliance with the procedures, they could only bite the bullet and forcefully investigate due to Yang Xian's pressure.
"What are you doing? This is the Ministry of Industry!"
Zhang Bing came to the two of them with an angry look on his face, very unhappy.
The two officials immediately said: "Master Zhang, the two of us are here to check on the recent work of the Ministry of Industry on the orders of the Prime Minister. I would also like to ask Master Zhang to pay attention."
Yang Xian is crazy, but that does not mean that the officials below are also crazy.
Most people still understand the matter of assessing the situation.
Yang Xian?
Zhang Bing was stunned for a moment, his face slightly ugly. He had also heard a little bit about what happened in Zhongshu Province recently.
Yang Xian is already famous for his willfulness.
