Chapter 84 The Bell of Doomsday

Chapter 84 The Bell of the Doomsday

When Zhu Weiluo arrived in the capital, she immediately wanted to ask to see her father. Unfortunately, no matter how she begged, the emperor was not willing to see him. A useless daughter.

Even though the princess knelt and begged outside the palace for almost a whole night, the emperor was still irritable and turned a deaf ear to the palace people's pleas.

The purpose of sending the princess to Chang'an was only one, hoping that the princess could marry Yun Zhao, hold off Yun Zhao, and buy some more time for the endangered Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of the emperor, this was an extremely simple task. The princess is not finished...

If she were the fragile princess before, let alone kneeling in worship all night in the cold night, even if she was slightly exposed to the wind and cold, it would probably be fatal.

How can she be like now? She got up and jumped a few times and ran around the palace a few times. After a slight sweat appeared on her forehead, nothing happened and she urged Gong'e to bring her a sumptuous breakfast.

When Empress Zhou saw her daughter eating breakfast in a hurry, she worriedly asked: "How are you doing in Chang'an?"

The princess bit off half an egg in one bite and said: "Yes. "It's very good."

Queen Zhou sighed: "It's really wronging you to go to a tyrannical hero like Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo. Don't resent your father. There is nothing he can do about it." I won't let you go to Chang'an until later."

Zhu Wei'ao looked at her mother and said, "It's good to go to Chang'an. No one insulted me. Even Yun Zhao treated me with courtesy after seeing me. No offense, when the child was in Chang'an, he stayed at Yushan Academy to study.

Mom, if the child has the happiest days in his life, it will be at Yushan Academy."

Empress Zhou said: "My son should not comfort his mother. That Yushan Academy is a land of tigers and wolves. How can my son live a stable life there?"

Zhu Weiyu said: "If you leave They are rebels. The masters in Yushan Academy are the most knowledgeable and kind-hearted people I have ever seen. The scholars in the academy are also the most motivated and capable people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after graduation, some of them packed their bags and went to the bitter cold of Hexi. They vowed not to break Loulan and not return it. There were even people riding horses with swords on their backs, long bows and quivers on their backs, and went straight to the deserted city on the fortress to compete with the Tatars.

Some of them were obviously born in the country. The noble Yushan Academy was willing to work with slaves, teaching them how to plant new crops, leading them to build water conservancy projects, and turning dry fields into fertile irrigated lands.

They also personally worked with local small businesses. Fight against robbers, kill robbers, capture gangsters, and restore the image of purity to the place.

Haier has been in Yushan Academy for three years. , If you have a firearm in hand, your daughter can also go into battle to kill the enemy." As he spoke, he took out a fist-sized grenade from his waist and placed it in front of his mother: "This is Lan.Tian's famous grenade, if you pull the ring, the flint inside will ignite the fuse. After holding it for three counts in your hand, you can throw it out to kill the enemy. Even a weak woman can use this thing to kill Jiujiu Wufu. "

Queen Zhou pointed at the grenade tremblingly and said: "You are going to see your father with such a murderous weapon? "

Zhu Wei said: "It's a pity that when I asked Yunzhao for artillery, he refused to give it. If I can bring hundreds of artillery back, my daughter can rely on these artillery to protect her father and the queen." .

The gangsters like Li Hongji will be bombarded to pieces! ”

After saying that, seeing the look of disbelief on her mother’s face, she put down her chopsticks, pulled the grenade’s ring, threw the grenade out of the window, and then covered her mother’s ears. .

With a loud bang, a blooming wintersweet in the garden was immediately engulfed in flames, and the scattered fragments were like rain hitting bananas, scaring the wintersweet next to it. Hundreds of holes.

Queen Zhou looked at her daughter in horror, her body was about to slide to the ground.

But she heard her daughter say in her ear: "We want to." If you go to Jiangnan, you can't stay in this dead place in the capital. "

The huge explosion soon attracted countless guards, eunuchs, and palace maids. Seeing that there were only queens and princesses at the scene, everyone started talking.

Zhu Wei'ao snorted coldly. A voice said: "Get out of here. "

The princess grew up in a deep palace and has always been weak-tempered. Now she stood in front of the main hall and roared, so majestic that people dared not look directly at her."

Passed. For a moment, the guards, eunuchs, and maids all knelt on the ground. Even Queen Zhou knelt on the ground. Only Zhu Wei'ao still stood in front of the hall, waiting for her father to arrive.

"Have you learned how to throw grenades in Chang'an?"

Chongzhen's feminine voice came from the corner of the side hall, and soon, Zhu Weiyao saw his father .

Originally, her heart was full of grievances and resentment, but when she saw her father, who had gray hair on his temples and looked too old to be a thirty-three-year-old man, tears burst out like a tide. He threw himself into his father's arms and cried loudly.

Chongzhen gently stroked his daughter's hanging hair and whispered with tears in his eyes: "It's all because of your useless father that he sent you into the den of tigers and wolves."

Zhu Weinao raised her pretty face full of tears and said resolutely: "Father sent it to you right, but it was a little late. If the child entered Yushan Academy to study hard at the age of six, even today, although the child cannot Like Han Xiufen, who competes with the world's pirates at sea, at least he can protect his father and mother."

Chongzhen looked at the strong and shameless daughter in his arms in surprise, and let Queen Zhou stand. After getting up, he took his daughter's hand and walked into the hall again.

The guards, eunuchs, and maids retreated like a tide.

"Where is the grenade? Take it out and show it to your father."

Zhu Weiyu came to a wooden box containing grenades, opened the box, and took out a grenade. Be careful put inIn front of the father.

Chongzhen picked up the grenade, looked at it carefully for a moment, handed it to Zhu Weiyu again and said: "Throw it away again."

Zhu Weiyu slowly pulled the ring, and then Once a grenade was thrown out of the window.

With a loud "boom", Nuanning, which was already riddled with holes, finally collapsed in the light of the fire.

Chongzhen came to the place where Nuanting collapsed and checked it out. Then he came to the box containing the grenades and looked up. He raised his head and said to Zhu Wei: "I first learned about grenades from Lu Xiangsheng's memorial. I know.

I knew that this thing was very useful on the battlefield, but it was expensive, costing five taels of silver.

This is the second time I saw the word grenade. At that time, it was in the memorial of Yuan Min, the Qianhu of Jinyiwei. At that time, he said that the price of a grenade should be about three taels of silver.

The third time I saw these two words was in Sun Chuanting. As seen in the memorial, at that time, he hoped that the imperial court could purchase 100,000 grenades, so that he could completely defeat Li Hongji.

The fourth time was in the memorial of the late Liaodong Governor Hong Chengchou. In the book, he said that there was a serious shortage of grenades in the army and he hoped that the imperial court would purchase them. He also said that in order to combat the establishment of slaves, Lantian Yunzhao would definitely sell the grenades to the imperial court..."

Zhu Weiyao frowned and said : "Why didn't your father buy it?"

Chongzhen put his hands behind his back, looked at the broken Nuanting and said in despair: "No one can show me the true power of grenades like Huang Er. "

Zhu Wei'ao gritted his teeth and said: "Father, I have one more chance. This time I will go buy grenades myself!"

Chongzhen shook his head and said: "Yun Zhao hates me for not dying. , he won’t sell it.”

Zhu Weicao said in surprise: “Father, I don’t think so. Although Yun Zhao is a bad thief, he still respects his father.

Haier was watching the play in Chang'an. Yun's Lao An was there, Yun Zhao's two wives were also there, and Yun Zhao's three children were also there. However, the people sitting in the seats were always the children. .

Whether it is the masters at Yushan Academy who are strict in teaching and respect great etiquette, or the passionate and domineering scholars, they also believe that the child should sit in the upper seat.

The father. The weapons we see now were all bought by the children from Chang'an. The money to buy the weapons came from Yun Zhao's contribution to his father, Yun's Anren's contribution to his mother, and Yun Zhao's two wives' contributions to his mother. There was even money sent by Zhu's old friends who stayed in Chang'an.

Haier took it upon himself to buy 5,000 grenades, 500 fire blunderbuss, and 1,000 kilograms of gunpowder in Tongguan. , 100,000 rounds of artillery.

Father, these things are enough to arm a battalion of 500 people." Chongzhen suddenly raised his head, looked at his daughter and said, "Really. Can you buy it? "Including Lantian artillery?"

Zhu Wei'er said seriously: "I'm going to ask someone who is more familiar with Lantian than me."

"Who?" His voice suddenly became louder, and a coldness appeared in his eyes.

Seeing that his father was still doubtful, Zhu Weinao sighed slightly in his heart and said: "Mu Tiantao, the eldest son of Prince Mu's Palace!"

Hearing that he was from Prince Mu's Palace, Chongzhen's guarded look slowly faded away , nodded and said: "Prince Mu is still a good minister of mine."

Zhu Weinuo said again: "He has already come to Beijing to participate in my father's talent promotion ceremony this year."

Zhu Weiluo was immediately happy. Ran out.

Queen Zhou looked at her daughter's retreating back and said to the emperor: "I'm afraid this prince of Prince Mu's palace will deeply affect my daughter's heart."

Chongzhen said coldly: "I've seen it. Only then did I know."

Queen Zhou said in a low voice: "The country is in a difficult situation, and I know it. If fate cannot be violated, why doesn't your majesty entrust Wei Ao to this person?"

Chongzhen glared. Empress Zhou glanced at her and said: "I, the Ming Dynasty, have been called the Ming Dynasty since Emperor Taizu destroyed the Yuan Dynasty and proclaimed himself the emperor. It lasted for 12 generations and passed on to 16 emperors. I enjoyed the country for 275 years, experienced countless winds and rains, and braved countless turbulent waves. How could she lose her ambition just because of a few gangsters?

Since she is my daughter, she must obey her parents’ orders. Although Zhou Shixian’s death was unclear, she will still be there if necessary. You can marry the person you need, and don’t mention it again."

Queen Zhou said with a sigh: "Your Majesty, if the Ming Dynasty falls, let me accompany you to plead guilty to your ancestors, and you will forgive me. Save your daughter and let her live."

Chongzhen laughed sadly: "If the country is destroyed, where will the family be?"
