When two Jinyi guards broke in and held Jingxu down on his knees, Jingxu still didn't realize what was going on.
Xue Hong asked someone to take out a piece of paper and write down two hundred thousand taels of silver notes with a pen. The issuing office was Tiandi Bank.
Xue Hong held the paper in one hand and the candle in the other: "Master Tai, I am true to my word. I will definitely give the Buddha 200,000 taels of fragrant oil.
As for me, I won’t give you any cash, and you don’t need to hand it over to Buddha. I’ll just send it directly to Buddha.”
Xue Hong lit the rice paper as he spoke.
Chen Chen, Zhu Hui: "You are still taller!"
Jingxu: "This is a pure place of Buddhism. How can you break in without permission?"
Zhu Hui spread his hands: "You agreed to this yourself, how can you call it trespassing? Besides, didn't we also give the 200,000 sesame oil money to the Buddha?"
Come on, put your mouth shut and take it away. All the royal guards, gather all the people in this temple to the Main Hall and search them for me!"
Xue Hong and the others were sitting in the Main Hall. After a while, a large number of disheveled nuns, old and young, were escorted in.
The little nuns were all at a loss and crowded together.
As for the men, it was much more interesting. They were all busy covering their faces.
There were also two censors who covered their faces with one hand and their lower bodies with the other. They were escorted over naked. I wonder if they had any grudge against Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Hui winked: "What nonsense are you talking about? After all, they are just two royal censors. Take them out, clean them up, and then take them back."
Jin Yiwei smiled knowingly: "I understand, little man."
Six royal guards escorted two censors out to look for "clothes".
Xue Hong, Zhu Hui, and Chen Chen looked at the acquaintances and sneered in their hearts. They were all sanctimonious people in the past, but they actually did such dirty things!
Xue Hong rolled his eyes and suddenly discovered an unexpected surprise: "Huh? Isn't that Jia Rong? It's a pity that it's not Jia Baoyu, tsk..."
In fact, if it was just an official's "prostitution of nuns", there would be no need to use the royal guards.
But Emperor Longqing found out some news that a batch of gunpowder was quietly transported into the capital, and the location seemed to be at Shuiyue An!
Now Emperor Longqing couldn't sit still. I have no control over whether Shuiyue An believes in Brother Lai or Huanxi Buddha, and I don't want to. But aren't you going too far by hiding gunpowder under my feet?
Originally, Emperor Longqing planned to let the Jinyi guards search him directly, but he was afraid that the old men in the clan would disgust him.
So let’s just give this job to Zhu Hui. Anyway, even if nothing is found, Zhu Hui will get scolded at most. It’s all a trivial matter!
"Report!!! Report back to the prince and two princes! We found an underground secret room in the backyard of Shuiyue Temple. There is a large amount of gunpowder in the secret room!
Fortunately, the brothers were warned by the prince in advance, otherwise if they went in with torches, they would probably..."
Jin Yiwei remembered the amount of gunpowder and was very convinced that such a large amount was enough to blow up the entire Shuiyue Temple!
Xue Hong: "Have you ever found out whether these gunpowders were made by the Ministry of Industry?"
Jin Yiwei: "Tell the Marquis that this batch of gunpowder was made by the Ministry of Industry. The box and paper have the mark of the Ministry of Industry!"
Xue Hong and the other three looked at each other and realized that this batch of gunpowder was probably the same batch of gunpowder that Niu Jizong had "lost".
The preservation technology of gunpowder in ancient times was not perfect, and it was easy to get damp once it was opened. Therefore, all gunpowder was transported in the original boxes and containers of the Ministry of Industry.
"Prince Qi, you two princes, we also found a lot of account books in a Buddhist temple."
Zhu Hui: "Take them away together."
…
"Have you ever checked the quantity of gunpowder?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's about fifteen thousand catties..."
When Emperor Longqing heard this answer, veins popped up on his forehead. Fifteen thousand kilograms of gunpowder. How much damage would this much gunpowder cause!
What's even more annoying is that these gunpowders were produced by the Ministry of Industry and leaked out of Jiubian in the past ten years.
Don’t think that fifteen thousand kilograms is a lot. In fact, the gunpowder preservation technology of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that of later generations. Gunpowder will get damp if it is not properly stored. Therefore, the Ministry of Gunpowder Industry often produces large quantities. As long as there is an approval from the emperor, it can be supplied to the border troops. Already.
In the past, Niu Jizong always said that there was not enough gunpowder. At first, Emperor Longqing thought that he was brave in foreign battles, so he spent gunpowder.
After working on it for a long time, the bastard Niu Jizong took advantage of this gunpowder!
Emperor Longqing: "Come here! Search the Zhenguogong's mansion, and Niu Jizong will arrest him immediately! At the same time, all the imperial guards will be mobilized to show me how to kill all the officials in the capital!"
If there is any abnormality in any house, it is allowed to kill it first and report it later!
Mobilize all the Beijing battalions to me and surround the capital! No entry or exit is allowed. At the same time, three thousand battalions will be mobilized into the palace to defend the palace.
Order the Imperial Army to be on strict alert and be ready for battle at any time!
Twenty thousand troops were mobilized from the capital camp to cooperate with the Jinyi Guards in patrolling various streets.
Since some people are anxious to die, I can’t leave them alone!
"
…
In the palace of Prince Yi Zhong, after Prince Yi Zhong learned the news that Shuiyue An was raided by Jin Yiwei, he felt his head buzzing, his vision went dark, and he suddenly fell to the ground.
Li Wenru stepped forward to help Prince Yi Zhong: "How are you doing, Your Majesty?"
Prince Yi Zhong said angrily: "You lost Jingzhou because of your carelessness! I'm afraid the emperor is going to fight to the death, but he has to take action. One wrong step, every wrong step!"
These gunpowders were originally intended to be used by Prince Yohitada to supply his private firearms force when they attacked the imperial palace. It was originally impossible to leak the information.
Except for the old nun Jingxu, not even King Beijing knew that these gunpowder was hidden in Shuiyue Temple.
Moreover, the secret room is deep underground, and the entrance is completely sealed. It would be impossible to find it without the party leading the way!
Prince Yi Zhong never imagined that he had encountered a cheat.
After Xue Hong entered the yard, what could he not find when his soul scanned it?
In fact, since Xue Hong defeated Hou Jin, the chance of Prince Yi Zhong's rebellion being successful has been very slim.
Most of the nine-border military power fell into the hands of Emperor Longqing, and Emperor Longqing also used the power of the Ming army's triumphant victory to clean up the Beijing camp.
If at this time, Prince Yi Zhong still had the possibility of uniting officials from all over Jiangnan to resist, then after Emperor Longqing bloodbathed the official circles in Jiangnan and the capital, he would be completely out of luck.
All military and political power has returned to the hands of Emperor Longqing. Emperor Longqing is not Zhu Yunwen. It is impossible for Emperor Longqing to have his face knocked over by a hammer.
Li Wenru thought quickly and said decisively: "In this case, the only way to save the commander is to throw away the car and go into the abyss to escape!
Your Majesty, although most of the Jiangnan officials have been cleared, the White Lotus Sect is completely under your control, Your Majesty, and isn't there still the Zhen family? It's not that easy to leave after getting on the boat."
Li Wenru's idea was very simple. He would find a substitute for Prince Yi Zhong and he would die. Then Prince Yi Zhong would completely abandon everything in the capital and go behind the scenes of the Jiangnan White Lotus Sect.
However, in order to increase the authenticity of the fake death, there must be enough "burial objects" and it must show the feeling of fighting to the death, so that it can be convincing...
