Chapter 181 The first show of the new army of fire guns, the capital is shocked!
Zhu Youde was reviewing the examination papers in the Cabinet Hall. Compared with the twists and turns of the martial arts examination, the liberal arts supplementary examination ended very smoothly.
Zhu Youde, who was originally in a bad mood, gradually relaxed his brows as he corrected the papers.
"It seems that His Majesty's decision is correct. Many candidates for the make-up exam gave excellent answers!" Feng Bogong said with joy on his face.
Xue Wenju took a paper and said with a smile: "Yes, I graded the paper and it was very good!"
The other bachelors nodded in agreement, and their compliments made Zhu Youde smile.
But after correcting several answer sheets, Zhu Youde stopped writing and handed the answer sheet to Xue Wenju.
"You guys, take a look at these answer sheets."
After a while, Xue Wenju and others looked at each other, and the contents of these answer sheets were basically the same.
"Your Majesty, maybe it's the same paper. There have been similar papers in previous literary examinations..."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Youde snorted coldly, took out a few more answer sheets and threw them on the table.
"What about these copies? Can they still be explained by similar volumes?"
After reading the paper, the cabinet bachelor was stunned.
Although the answers in these papers are different, the core content is not very different.
"Your Majesty, we will strictly invigilate the exams and will never show any favors." The Grand Master of the Cabinet knelt down and said.
Zhu Youde waved his hand and motioned for them to get up.
"I believe you, but the large number of identical papers should be the test questions leaked. Do you know if you are waiting?!"
He yelled angrily, with an angry look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I will wait..."
The forehead of the cabinet bachelor touched the ground. The examination papers were organized by the Ministry of Personnel. They were only responsible for reviewing them. The Ministry of Personnel had always been responsible for preserving them.
Zhu Youde stared at the identical papers, his eyes flashed with evil, he couldn't pass the civil service examination smoothly. It turned out that the problem lay in the answer sheet.
"Let me check! We must find out what the problem is!"
As soon as Zhu Youde finished speaking, Wang Zhonghou's furious voice came: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Punishment Department, the Punishment Department has been attacked..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Youde was stunned on the spot.
The Ministry of Justice was attacked?
The academicians in the cabinet all showed surprised expressions.
Who dares to have the audacity to attack the Ministry of Justice?!
Even Wang Zhonghou himself was a little surprised. The Ministry of Punishment just came to report, but he didn't even react.
"Who did this?!" Zhu Youde slapped his big hand on the table and shouted angrily.
Who dares to be so arrogant!
Attack the Ministry of Justice!
Do you dare to challenge the imperial power just to kill Wang Potian?
"I want to go to the Criminal Department in person!"
By the time Zhu Youde arrived at the Criminal Department, Situ Mingrong had already taken control of the situation.
Dozens of corpses lay on the ground, some of them were guards from the Criminal Department, and many more were assassins in black.
Seeing this, the anger in Zhu Youde's chest became even stronger, and he would use any means to assassinate Wang Potian even if he sacrificed more than twenty assassins.
I was so afraid that Wang Potian would be able to stand in the palace examination hall alive.
"Situ Mingrong, have you found out who did it?" Zhu Youde asked coldly.
Situ Mingrong took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, it was the wolf bandits near the capital who did it. This is the identity plate left behind."
As he said this, he handed over a few signs.
Zhu Youde didn't even look at it, but asked: "Are there any other clues to see the assassin's appearance clearly?"
After two assassinations, Zhu Youde didn't believe there was no clue at all.
"Your Majesty, there are more than 30 assassins in total, and the leader is a female assassin. She is also very skilled and can win against many..."
Hearing this, Zhu Youde frowned, thinking of someone.
The female assassin leader is very skilled!
Chen Shishi!
She is the only one in the capital who meets the conditions!
"This is a piece of cloth left behind during the fight." Situ Mingrong handed over the cloth left at the scene.
Zhu Youde pinched it gently, grinded it hard, and put his fingers on the tip of his nose.
Familiar scent.
Chen Shishi’s boudoir in Yuanyanglou also has this unique fragrance!
It is almost certain that the mastermind behind the scenes is Chen Shishi, no, it is Yan Wang Zhudi!
But this is just Zhu Youde's speculation and cannot be used as evidence. If you want to identify the thief, you need direct evidence.
After a long time, Zhu Youde said: "If the guards who died in the battle are buried alive, I will take out a sum of money from my private treasury to comfort them."
After a pause, he looked gloomily at the corpses of the assassins in black on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Cut off the heads of these assassins and hang them on the gate of Jinling City, just like those who took the exam, so that all the people in the capital can see it and provoke the imperial power.
The end!"
Everyone in the punishment department was shocked.
The little emperor was really angry.
Cutting off the head of a corpse, looking at history, only His Majesty today dares to do it.
After saying this, Zhu Youde looked at Zhou Heng: "How is the new Fire Gun Army building?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Heng was stunned. According to the plan, the establishment of the new Fire Gun Army would only be completed after the imperial examination.
Your Majesty now asks if he wants to...
His heart trembled, and then he said: "The construction of the school captain is basically completed, and there are currently two hundred elites."
"According to my imperial order, the new army of fire guns is pointing at the wolf bandit's stronghold! I will destroy the wolf bandit today!"
There was silence all around, and everyone knelt down and touched their foreheads to the ground.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses!
Zhou Heng did not dare to delay, so he went to recruit a new army of fire guns.
Zhu Youde personally led the Royal Forest Army to the Firearms Bureau warehouse and took away 200 firecrackers.
Tang Huo looked at His Majesty's retreating back with long eyes.
I don’t know when the little emperor started, but he already had the majesty of an emperor.
Half an hour later, Zhou Heng led two hundred new army lieutenants with fire guns and rushed to the Wolf Bandit Village. Zhu Youde also went there in person under the protection of the Royal Forest Army.
The vanguard on sentry duty saw the thick crowd of officers and soldiers and quickly reported it to the village leader.
The leader of the Wolf Bandit Village was so frightened that his legs trembled when he heard this. Although there were officers and soldiers coming to suppress the bandits on weekdays, they were only a few dozen or at most a hundred.
But what came today was a new army of 200 fire guns! After that, there were 2,000 royal guards holding down the formation!
The scariest thing is that the Holy Spirit is here in person!
Is this one of my subordinates who has stirred up a hornet's nest?!
To make His Majesty furious and take action personally, I'm afraid he would have to go to the Yangxin Palace to take a dump.
How did he know that all this was arranged by Judy and that the wolf bandit was just a scapegoat.
"Quick! Raise the white flag! Raise the white flag!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar from the ground, and the heat wave overturned the thatched house.
"Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!" The shells were fired continuously.
Zhu Youde was wearing battle armor, riding on a white horse, squinting at the wolf bandit's village with flames rising into the sky.
It has to be said that the gap between cold weapons and hot weapons is really huge, but with two hundred fire blunderbuss, one shot per person can turn a huge village into a sea of flames.
"Sing Jin, withdraw your troops!" Zhou Heng gave the order, and the two hundred fire gun troops stopped shooting.
Everyone's face was filled with shock. The power of a small fire gun was so huge.
If Daliang's hundreds of thousands of troops could all be equipped with firecrackers, they could almost move sideways.
Even if the Northern Yan, East Yue, Western Tang, Xiongnu, Western Regions and other countries jointly invade, don’t be afraid!
That night, the people in the capital could see the flames rising into the sky from the mountains not far away.
That night, many ministers frantically inquired about the reason why His Majesty was so angry.
That night, Prince Yan's residence fell into silence...
