Early the next morning, the Tai Chi Hall had just stood full of people, and the court officials in the hall had already begun to discuss the sensational news that had been circulating in Chang'an City yesterday.
It’s not that they have to discuss it, but it’s that the impact of this matter is too great.
If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, how could they believe that gunpowder had appeared far away in Qianzhou.
Gunpowder is the most important killing weapon in the Tang army.
No one can get in touch with him except the Emperor and Zhao Chen.
But even so, gunpowder still appeared in Qianzhou thousands of miles away.
Then it is necessary to consider this matter carefully.
The emperor would never give such things to outsiders, so now there is only one possibility left.
It was Zhao Chen who leaked the method of making gunpowder, or in other words, Zhao Chen arranged for people to make gunpowder in Qianzhou.
So, what is Zhao Chen trying to do?
"Gunpowder is of great importance. Gunpowder actually appeared in Qianzhou and an explosion occurred. How could this gunpowder appear in places like Qianzhou?" An official whispered.
"Isn't that? This news came from Qianzhou. The King of Han took down all the governors of Qianzhou, Yan Wenzheng, but what is the truth of the matter?" Someone else agreed next to him.
"The King of Han should have gone north, but now he has not only suddenly gone south, but also a gunpowder explosion has also occurred. This is very strange."
"Gunpowder has always been in the hands of His Majesty and the King of Han, but this gunpowder has now flown to Qianzhou..."
"Yes, there's something wrong with this matter."
Many officials were talking about something wrong, but no one said they suspected the King of Han.
How dare you say this now? Many people in the court support Zhao Chen.
If they say something bad or not, and there is no evidence at that time, it is difficult to ensure that they will not be troubled later.
"Your Majesty is here!" The little eunuch's voice sounded, and the officials stopped and looked upwards.
The emperor slowly walked from the side hall, sat steadily on the dragon throne, and his eyes calmly swept across everyone in front of him.
"I'll pay homage to Your Majesty." All the officials shouted in unison.
The emperor waved his hand and everyone stood up.
"My dear friends, today's court meeting, there is a memorial." The emperor spoke, his eyes swept over the officials.
The emperor also noticed their attitude from the faces of many people.
I also thought in my heart that today is afraid that there will be another verbal battle.
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial." An official from the Censorate walked out of the team, stood in the center of the Tai Chi Hall, and bowed to the emperor.
The Censorate is a good person, and the Censorate is basically very stubborn.
You will know by looking at Wei Zheng.
But the people from the Censorate had already stood up, and the emperor could not say that he would drive the people back.
Yesterday, the news reached the emperor's ears, and he was ready to face today's scene.
"Tell me." The emperor waved his hand and signaled the censor to continue.
"Report to Your Majesty, I heard everyone in Chang'an City yesterday that His Highness the King of Han went to inspect the south, which was inconsistent with the previous plan."
"In addition, I have also heard that gunpowder appeared in Qianzhou, and many people were killed and killed due to gunpowder explosions. His Highness the King of Han actually went to Qianzhou."
"I know that gunpowder is extremely important to our Tang Dynasty, so it has always been controlled by His Majesty and the King of Han."
"But how did the gunpowder in Qianzhou come from?"
"Okay, why did His Highness the King of Han suddenly go to Qianzhou?"
"I think His Highness the King of Han should be recalled." The censor bowed his hand and said to the emperor, his voice reaching the ears of every official.
Many people nodded.
For them, gunpowder is of great importance. When gunpowder appears in Qianzhou, Zhao Chen inexplicably went to Qianzhou.
This is a strange thing.
If Zhao Chen did not come back to explain in person, they could only suspect that the gunpowder had fallen into Qianzhou and had something to do with Zhao Chen.
In this way, they could only force the emperor to recall Zhao Chen back to the capital.
The emperor looked at the censor in front of him.
Although he knew that the censor said nothing was wrong, the emperor was still unhappy now.
The emperor absolutely believed in Zhao Chen.
If Zhao Chen wanted to get the gunpowder outside, there wouldn't be such a big deal.
But this matter always needs an explanation.
Apart from him, the emperor, he could only recall Zhao Chen back to Chang'an and let him explain the matter clearly.
Besides, everything is just a rumor now, and I haven't even received a letter from Zhao Chen.
"What do you mean?" The emperor looked at the other officials.
Most people nodded.
Someone has already made a name for himself, and they don’t want to do such offends.
Anyway, it’s better to go with the flow, and they don’t want to fall into other things.
"Your Majesty, do you want to thoroughly investigate the gunpowder production workshop?" Dali Temple Minister Dai Zhou suddenly said.
"Yes, it's hard to guarantee that there are no problems with the gunpowder production workshop, such as someone leaking the secret in the gunpowder production workshop."
"It's hard to guarantee that there is no possibility. It's just that the people in this gunpowder making workshop were all selected by His Highness the King of Han. Should I talk about it after His Highness the King of Han comes back?"
"When His Highness the King of Han comes back, if there is a traitor, he will have already run away. Now everyone in the gunpowder making workshop should be taken down and interrogated at the surprise."
"I don't agree to do this. I don't know whether gunpowder has fallen out of Chang'an. You are too much trouble."
"Make a big deal, do you know how important gunpowder is to me, Datang?"
"Who do you scold me? Swear again."
"What's wrong with me scolding you? I'll beat you up."
“Mad…”
No one expected that the huge Tai Chi Hall suddenly became a place where rogues acted arrogantly.
The two officials rolled up their sleeves and started fighting at each other.
No one can let anyone know when he is fistful.
It fooled the emperor and other officials.
"Rare!" The emperor slapped the table suddenly, and Qianniuwei from left and right immediately pressed the two of them to the ground.
"You dare to be so presumptuous in Tai Chi Hall."
"Pull it out." The emperor waved his hand, and Qianniuwei dragged the two of them out of the Tai Chi Hall.
Seeing the two of them being dragged away, the emperor took a deep breath at this moment.
He had already seen it, and this was no longer the same as before.
If he did not act anyway and still favored Zhao Chen without any scruples, he would probably cause dissatisfaction among all officials.
After all, today they all dare to fight in front of themselves.
This is not a fight between them, but a way to show their attitude to themselves, the emperor.
Who leaked the gunpowder?
The emperor thought to himself, slowly raised his head, looked at the officials in front of him, and slowly said, "Tell me my will and summon the King of Han back to the capital."
"There are also three departments of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, and the Dali Temple, and each sent personnel to Qianzhou to investigate the gunpowder."
