Yang Wenguang had just finished digesting Kou Ji's words, and then he heard Kou Ji decide this matter very firmly.

Yang Wenguang sighed and said lamentingly: "It won't be dead, right?" Those people in the equipment workshop are all treasures. ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "I naturally know the preciousness of those people, so I plan to blow them up at night." At night, when they have all gone back to sleep, I will remove all the guards who are guarding around the machine workshop. ”

Yang Wenguang smiled bitterly: "This is very good, since you have made up your mind, what do you need us to do?" ”

Kou Ji said bluntly: "Restrain the forbidden army, restrain the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and let them not panic." ”

Yang Wenguang and Di Qing nodded in unison.

"The lower official understands ......"

Yang Wenguang and Di Qing left the bamboo courtyard after this incident.

After Yang Wenguang and Di Qing left, Kou Ji sent someone to summon Liu Heng.

Kou Ji instructed Liu Heng to blow up the equipment workshop.

Liu Heng is very familiar with the equipment workshop.

He knew where to blow up the equipment workshop, and it would make a big noise, but it wouldn't hurt anyone.

After Kou Ji instructed Liu Heng, Liu Heng left the bamboo courtyard with people.

Kou Ji sent someone to bring a handwritten letter to dispatch the guards guarding the equipment workshop.

The guards around the instrument workshop only obeyed Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, and the orders of the Privy Council did not work.

Only the handwritten letters of Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji worked.

After Kou Ji sent the people out, he sat in his study.

I sat from noon to evening.

From the evening to the middle of the night.

When the husband knocked on the bang, it was announced that the third watch day had arrived.

A deafening explosion rang out from outside the city.

The explosion was accompanied by a violent tremor.

All the vases that Kou Ji had placed in his study were shaken to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Even Kou Ji, who was sitting on the seat, was almost shocked and sat on the ground.

Kou Ji rushed out of the study and saw the sky-high fire reflecting the entire Bianjing City.

"Whew!"

A hurricane rushed into the bamboo courtyard, and Kou Ji was almost blown to the ground.

Screams, shouts, roars, and cries instantly filled the entire Bianjing City.

Gunshots could be faintly heard.

The maids and servants in the bamboo courtyard fled to the front yard one by one in shock, they were wearing obscene clothes, trembling all over, and their eyes were full of horror.

Xiang Yan put on a coat and stumbled to the courtyard where the study was located.

After seeing Kou Ji standing in the middle of the courtyard where the study was located with his hands behind his back, he hurriedly pounced.

"Master, what happened?"

Xiang Yan's voice trembled a little.

Kou Ji turned around and said calmly: "It's okay...... I had people blow up the equipment workshop outside the city. ”

Xiang Yan's pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "Why? ”

Kou Ji stared at Xiang Yan and said lightly: "Someone stole gunpowder, muskets, and artillery, I have to force them out." Otherwise, they're going to be holding those things and putting them on our heads. ”

Xiang Yan took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a low voice: "The master is going to do this kind of big thing, it's better to tell the concubine......"

Kou Ji sighed, "It's me who is abrupt......"

Xiang Yan nodded, didn't say anything more, got dressed, and went to appease the maids and servants in the house.

After Xiang Yan left, Kou Ji stood in the courtyard and listened to the shouts, roars, and cries outside the house.

Bianjing City was in chaos.

The same is true in the palace.

The concubines were scurrying in the palace in frightened clothes, and the palace ladies and eunuchs were also running around in horror.

Empress Cao carried a big gun and hurried to Yanfu Palace with people.

Concubine He Defei held a Qingfeng sword, carried her son on her back, and rushed to Yanfu Palace with the guards.

Zhang Guifei, Zhang Xianfei, and Zhou Shufei, although they were also flustered, did not run around, but took the prince and princess and quickly approached Yanfu Palace.

When they arrived at Yanfu Palace, they saw that the Imperial Forest Guards had surrounded Yanfu Palace.

Zhao Zhen stood at the gate of Yanfu Palace, calmly looking outside the city.

Zhao Run's little face was a little pale and he stood beside Zhao Zhen, and there was still a trace of blood on his forehead.

Just now, he was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, and a loud noise and a violent shock caused him to plunge into the incense case in front of the mourning hall and knock on his forehead.

Chen Lin was nervously re-arming the palace.

And constantly send eunuchs out to find out the news.

After Empress Cao arrived at the gate of Yanfu Palace with a big gun, she was stopped outside by the royal guards.

Empress Cao saw that Zhao Zhen and Zhao Run were fine, and dropped the big gun.

"Concubine, please see ......"

Zhao Zhen saw Empress Cao's heroic appearance, and couldn't help but sound the appearance of Empress Cao killing the rebellious guards in the palace when the Eight Kings were in rebellion in the past.

Zhao Zhen's heart softened a lot.

"The queen is frightened......"

"Concubines are not in the way......"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and asked Empress Cao to enter Yanfu Palace.

Then Concubine He De, Concubine Zhang Guifei, Concubine Zhang Xian, and Concubine Zhou Shufei arrived one after another.

Empress Cao stood at the highest point of Yanfu Palace, carefully looked at the place outside the city that was still blazing, and her pupils shrank slightly.

"It's an equipment workshop?!"

Zhao Zhen nodded calmly.

Seeing this, Empress Cao hurriedly asked, "The official family seems to know who did it?" ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Empress Cao and smiled indifferently, "The best person for me." For my comfort, he blew up his hard work for more than ten years. ”

Empress Cao was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Kou Ji? ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded.

Empress Cao gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Concubine Zhou Shu's heart was straightforward, "The official family is so arrogant and indulgent in Kou Ji, aren't they afraid of getting into trouble?" ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Concubine Zhou Shufei and said faintly: "Is it that I am used to him?" It's him who gets used to me! But it's not enough! ”

Zhao Zhen's words made Empress Cao and the others puzzled.

But Zhao Zhen didn't explain much.

Zhao Zhen stared at the fire outside the city so calmly.

Kou Ji was also staring at the firelight outside the city in the courtyard, but not long after watching, Liu Heng climbed over the wall and entered the bamboo courtyard, carrying a huge package behind his back.

Then one figure after another jumped in from outside the wall, carrying one large package after another behind them.

Kou Ji saw the big package carried by Liu Heng and the others, and smiled bitterly.

After Liu Heng dispersed those people, he walked to Kou Ji with the package, and said with a low smile: "It's really exciting......

Kou Ji glanced at the package in Liu Heng's hand, and said with a smile: "So you took the sheep by the hand, took some more from the equipment workshop, and prepared to try again?" ”

Liu Heng shook his head and smiled: "I took these things to save our lives." If someone comes against us with muskets and artillery, we can fight back. ”

Kou Ji smiled and asked, "How much did you take?" ”

Liu Heng laughed in a low voice: "Ten cannons, 1,000 guns, hand-thrown bombs, cannonballs, iron bullets, and gunpowder, all took 100 boxes." I only came back with some hand throws.

The rest was put in the bear park. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and asked, "What's the situation outside?" ”

Liu Heng put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Ruian Town is very chaotic. Everyone is fleeing in all directions. The great Confucians in the Heavenly Saint Pavilion were flustered and led people to transfer books.

There is also chaos in Bianjing.

However, the people from the Inspection Department and the people from Kaifeng Mansion had already rushed to the street and began to pacify the people. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Heng praised: "The newly elected envoy of the Inspection Department is not bad. He doesn't need you to show up, he knows what he's supposed to do. ”

Kou Ji asked again, "Can it hurt people's lives?" ”

Liu Heng shook his head, "I definitely don't have one over there, but there must be a lot of injuries." After the equipment workshop exploded, a huge earthquake formed directly knocked me to the ground.

As soon as I stood up, a puff of air knocked me to the ground and rolled around twice before stopping.

The earthquake and the atmosphere will definitely hurt the people.

In the panic, bumps and bumps are inevitable. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "After this incident, I will determine this matter as a mistake of the imperial court." When the time comes, let the people of the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion give some compensation to the people. ”

Liu Heng laughed in a low voice: "It's better to send more ......"

Kou Jihu looked at Liu Heng suspiciously.

Liu Heng said with a smile: "Anyway, we are leaving, why not be generous to others?" I can remember that you and I have not received a few times since I became a priest. Either it was confiscated or it was missed.

You belong to the forfeiture of the penalty.

I'm one of the ones who was missing.

Let's take our money once and for all and give it to the people. ”

Kou Ji pointed at Liu Heng with a smile and said, "What you said also makes some sense. The official family is now like living on a mountain of money, and the amount of money in their hands is too great to count.

The stage of saving money has passed.

Officials should learn to spend money. ”

When Liu Heng heard this, he smiled.

Kou Ji asked Liu Heng to pack up the grenade and go down to rest.

Then he accompanied Xiang Yan to appease the maid and servant, and took Xiang Yan to sleep.

It's just that before Kou Ji walked to the bedroom, Menzi appeared in front of Kou Ji.

"Master, the palace has sent someone to spread the word, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are now gathered in the palace, and the official family is guarding the spirit again. The three political affairs of the courtyard invite you to enter the palace to preside over the overall situation. ”

Kou Ji heard Menzi's words, sighed secretly in his heart, and after comforting Xiang Yan again, he hurried out of the mansion.

I took the carriage all the way to Donghua Gate, and although there were many traces of panic in the place I passed, the order was quite good.

It can be seen that the people of the Inspection Department and the people of Kaifeng Mansion have made great efforts to appease the people.

After Kou Ji's carriage arrived at the Donghua Gate, someone immediately opened the Donghua Gate.

Kou Ji drove to the Vertical Arch Hall before getting out of the carriage.

As soon as I entered the vertical arch hall, I saw the Manchu Dynasty civil and military standing in the hall, talking about the explosion outside the city in a panic.

After they saw Kou Ji appear, they all threw up their hands at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji walked all the way to the middle of the Vertical Arch Hall, waved his hand and said, "Colleagues, don't be impatient. ”

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu immediately closed his mouth and quietly waited for Kou Ji's instructions.

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Colleagues, I must tell you that the explosion of the equipment workshop outside the city is definitely not an accident. It was someone who had bad intentions and deliberately blew up the equipment workshop in order to cause panic. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty changed, and there were many discussions.

Only Yang Wenguang and Di Qing looked embarrassed.

Others don't know why the machine shop exploded, but they know it clearly.

It is precisely because they know the inside story that they feel very embarrassed when they see Kou Ji fooling people now.

Kou Ji saw the embarrassed expressions of the two of them, but he didn't pay attention to them, but said in a deep voice: "There is another matter, I didn't want to tell you, but now, I have to tell the truth."

Prior to this, Changxinglong's artillery workshop exploded, losing a full hundred catties of gunpowder.

You may not know how powerful a hundred pounds of gunpowder can be after exploding.

Then I'll describe it to you.

A hundred catties of gunpowder, if all of them are exploded, can destroy half of the palace. ”

When the Manchu civil and military heard this, their faces changed completely.

Kou Ji continued: "The thieves not only stole the gunpowder, but also colluded with the officers and men of the army to steal the muskets and artillery issued by the army.

400 guns, 3 cannons, and 100 catties of artillery can be defeated by 10,000 foot soldiers armed with swords.

Today's equipment workshop outside the city was blown up, which is the same as the previous explosion of Changxinglong's artillery workshop.

The thieves probably got a lot of firearms from it.

Now, you and I, the rulers, sleep on these firearms, and on these gunpowder. ”

The faces of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces completely changed.

Fan Zhongyan said with a gloomy face: "We have to find out these thieves as soon as possible, otherwise the people in Bianjing City don't want to live in peace." ”

Ouyang corrected his color and said: "Our lives are secondary, I am afraid that the thieves will threaten the official family." ”

Bao Zheng said in a loud voice: "When all the manpower is mobilized, it will be strictly investigated." ”

Tang Jie added: "It's best to offer a reward for the thief's head. ”

Zhang Fangping said coldly: "When you post a notice to intimidate the thief." ”

“……”

Kou Ji's protégé, one by one, finished supplementing what Kou Ji wanted to say.

Kou Ji was very satisfied with this, and if a person couldn't find out what he couldn't figure out, he should mobilize the masses to investigate together.

The masses can always bring unexpected surprises to everyone.

After Fan Zhongyan and the others finished supplementing, Kou Ji decisively ordered, "Then do what you say." Use all available manpower to investigate this matter strictly.

Find out the evil leader and reward him heavily.

Help the evil head, Zhulian. ”

After Kou Ji's order, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty rushed outside the palace one after another, and they wanted to find out the matter overnight, and they didn't want to delay for a moment.

Only Kou Ji, Yang Wenguang, and Di Qing are still in the vertical arch hall.

Yang Wenguang and Di Qing stared at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "You don't go to investigate? If the thieves gang up to resist the law, do you need to send troops to suppress it? ”

Yang Wenguang sighed, "It's a pity......"

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "Dead! ”

Kou Ji and Yang Wenguang's faces changed in unison.

Kou Ji asked, "How did you die?" But because of the explosion? ”

Di Qing nodded heavily, "The military horses in the army were frightened, rushed out of the horse pen, and trampled several stewards in the horse prison to death. Rushed to the village outside the city, and injured a lot of people. ”

Kou Ji clenched his fists slightly and sighed, "Burial is good...... Bereavement pension triple ...... The injured person was handed over to the people of Huimin Pharmacy for diagnosis and treatment, and the expenses should be borne by the imperial court. ”

Yang Wenguang was not as sad as Di Qing and Kou Ji, he groaned for a while, and said bluntly: "I think this is a good thing. ”

Kou Ji and Di Qing looked at Yang Wenguang in amazement.

Yang Wenguang said frankly: "Don't look at me like that, just think about it." You're going to blow up the equipment workshop, and after thinking about it for a long time in order to convince myself not to feel heartache, I finally found a benefit.

That is, the equipment workshop is located on the edge of Bianjing City, which is a hidden danger after all.

Especially after the number of people in Ruian Town has exceeded 200,000, it is even more of a big hidden danger.

This time, we bombed our own equipment workshop, and we could barely control it to the point where it didn't hurt people.

If the equipment workshop accidentally produces an explosion.

That's a big problem.

Maybe most of the people in Ryan Town will suffer.

Bianjing City is not to mention. ”

When Di Qing heard this, a trace of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said in a deep voice: "Previously, we equipped the new army in Zhenshou Qingtang with firearms, and almost emptied the gunpowder and firearms in the equipment workshop.

Almost all of the gunpowder and firearms that exploded in the equipment workshop were forged in the past month.

The explosion of gunpowder and firearms forged in the past month has such great power.

If the gunpowder that has been left in the house for two years explodes together with the firearm.

Hiss ......"

Yang Wenguang said with a solemn expression: "The consequences are unimaginable......

Kou Ji sighed: "So whether it is the people in Ruian Town or the people in Bianjing City, they are actually sleeping on a gunpowder pile. ”

Yang Wenguang nodded solemnly, "So this time it's a good bomb." Woke us up and let us see the drawbacks. Then we should move the machine factory to the mountains, or to isolated islands. ”

Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said, "I just know that there are not many things stored in the equipment workshop, so I dare to blow it up." But I didn't consider that its existence is always a hidden danger. ”

Di Qing sighed and said, "The main reason is that my brother has managed the equipment workshop for many years, and the equipment workshop has never had an accident. So we all take it as safe. ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "But I'm leaving soon." But I didn't expect that I still left such a big hidden danger. It's me who is so confident that I turn a blind eye to the hidden dangers under my nose.

In my hands it is a lamb.

Not necessarily in someone else's hands. ”

Kou Ji looked at Di Qing and Yang Wenguang, "The two of you will discuss this matter, choose a suitable place, and build a new equipment workshop in the future." ”

Yang Wenguang said bluntly: "I think Huashan is good. ”

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.

Di Qing hurriedly said: "If something goes wrong in Huashan, the people will fight hard with you." The Taoist priests will also fight with you. Officials will also blame. ”

Kou Ji nodded approvingly, "Huashan is the dojo that Emperor Taizu promised to the sleeping immortals after all, so it's better not to bother." ”

Yang Wenguang said dryly: "I'll just say it casually." ”

Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "This matter will be discussed later, and quickly send the people in your hands to find the person who stole gunpowder and firearms."

Only by capturing them in one fell swoop can we consider anything else.

In addition, the use of firearms in the military must also be strictly controlled.

In the future, firearms must be guarded by special personnel.

I will write the specific articles as a note and bring them to you for discussion. ”

Di Qing and Yang Wenguang glanced at each other and nodded together.

After Kou Ji sent Yang Wenguang and Di Qing, he originally thought about leaving the palace, but after thinking about it, he still went to Yanfu Palace to see Zhao Zhen.

After Kou Ji arrived at Yanfu Palace, he found that there were many more guards in Yanfu Palace.

Zhao Zhen's concubines were leaving Yanfu Palace in twos and threes.

Walking in the back are Empress Cao, Concubine He Defei and others.

They looked at Koji with strange eyes.

It was so weird that Koji couldn't see what their gaze meant.

Kou Ji was unprecedentedly tough in front of them.

"Humph!"

Kou Ji snorted coldly in front of them and left.

Kou Ji's snort seemed to warn them, and it was also like scolding them for not knowing how to lift.

After Kou Ji disappeared in front of their eyes, Concubine He De said faintly: "He really doesn't take our sisters seriously now. ”

Concubine Zhou Shufei gritted her teeth and sneered: "Who let you be favored by no one." ”

Empress Cao snorted coldly: "Shut up! The official family treats him like a brother, this is an ironclad fact. It is also an ironclad fact that he treats the official family like a brother.

I can have the Song Dynasty today, and the people think that it is the result of the hard work of the officials.

But in fact, you all know in your hearts.

The Great Song Dynasty can have today, which is completely dominated by him.

As a minister, he is loyal and diligent, and as a brother, he carries all the burdens on his shoulders.

He lives up to anyone.

On the contrary, our royal family can't give him the dignity he deserves.

He is the elder brother of the official family and our elder brother.

We have to respect him like a ruler, not slander him secretly. ”

Concubine He Defei and Concubine Zhou Shufei frowned when they heard this.

Zhang Guifei said coldly: "The queen mother is afraid that he humiliated you three days ago, right?" ”

Empress Cao said unhurriedly: "That's because after thinking about it carefully, this palace found that we, the pillow people of the official family, are far inferior to his brother in doing things for the official family."

If we can't compare to others, we are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks. ”

Zhang Guifei gritted her teeth and did not speak again.

Empress Cao snorted coldly and left Yanfu Palace.

Concubine Zhang Xian and the others pondered for a while, and then left Yanfu Palace.

Empress Cao's attitude changed so quickly, it was really unexpected.

Empress Cao's words.

Kou Ji didn't know that after Kou Ji arrived in Yanfu Palace, he felt that the atmosphere in Yanfu Palace was also a little.

Zhao Zhen's hair was messy, his long beard was messy, and he knelt like a wild man on his knees.

Zhao Run's state is similar.

Kou Ji leaned over to their father and son, and looked at them suspiciously.

"Official ......"

Zhao Zhen seemed to be in a daze, and after hearing Kou Ji's call, he slowly came back to his senses and glanced at Kou Ji a little sluggishly.

"Fourth brother...... You're here......"

Seeing that Zhao Zhen's expression was wrong, Kou Ji frowned and said, "Official, you should find an imperial doctor for treatment." ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head slowly, and said weakly: "I'm fine, I just had a dream." I dreamed of my father, I dreamed of the eldest mother, I dreamed of the little mother, and I dreamed of the queen mother, and the eldest uncle, the eighth emperor, and the grandfather and uncle of the emperor who I had never met......"

Kou Ji picked it up.

Dream of who is bad, dream of a group of dead people.

If Kou Ji didn't know Zhao Zhen's lifespan, he would really think that Zhao Zhen was returning to the light and was about to die.

After all, when the first emperor Zhao Heng died, he also saw many old people.

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "The official family should be worried and sick, and they should rest for a few days." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled indifferently, "I'm fine...... The explosion in the equipment workshop outside the city, the fourth brother can find out. ”

Kou Ji said: "Under investigation, the thief is hiding very deeply. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, and said to himself: "The equipment workshop is so tightly defended, it is really unusual for thieves to be able to get in." ”

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he echoed dryly: "That's ......"

Zhao Zhen continued: "I haven't been able to hold regular meetings with the government these days, so I'll leave everything to the fourth brother. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "The minister will take care of everything." ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Then the fourth brother should go back quickly." The equipment workshop exploded, and Bianjing City may have become a mess, and the fourth brother needs to keep an eye on it. ”

Kou Ji hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, and after giving the salute, he left Yanfu Palace.

Out of Yanfu Palace, Kou Ji felt that something was wrong.

But there's nothing wrong with that.
