"Your Majesty, according to Lan Ruoyue's design, the arsenal will explode, a thousand-mile sea of fire, and all our efforts will be in vain."
As soon as he arrived at the imperial study, Zhou Yunshen made his words clear.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then asked with a serious expression: "Who said that?"
"My wife!"
Zhou Yunshen: "The hot weapon is fine, but the formula is wrong. To increase the effect, she adjusted the proportions of the gunpowder. It's extremely powerful and completely unsafe."
Just as the emperor was about to open his mouth, Murong Tianci said, "That's what his wife said."
The emperor's heart was like a raging fire meeting ice water, and it was extinguished in an instant.
A large amount of steam also came out, burning the mood beyond recognition, leaving nothing behind.
“How could it be…”
"I'm really looking forward to it..."
The emperor sat down dejectedly, and when he thought about the medicinal pig he had taken out, he suddenly felt even more at a disadvantage.
Murong Tianci: "His wife also said that even if firearms can be made, with modern technology, they can only use bird guns, which can only fire one shot at a time and cannot achieve strong killing power. However, it can be regarded as a research direction. My royal brother, why don't you count the silver in the national treasury and do some research first if there is any extra."
Zhou Yunshen: "I think that if we raid the Qian family, we will have money."
Murong Tianci: "I think that a certain amount of tax can be collected for the empty houses of officials who spend three taels a night."
Zhou Yunshen: "I believe that gunpowder experiments cannot be completed overnight. Rushing forward will only bring disaster. We should conduct experiments on a small scale first, and only start mass production after the product is confirmed to be complete."
Murong Tianci said, "I believe that the art of gunpowder making is very similar to alchemy, but I am not proficient in weapons and cannot take on this task. I recommend two blacksmiths, and I am willing to assist."
The two of them spoke back and forth, their words were aggressive, yet extremely polite, and very reasonable, with no faults at all.
Zhou Yunshen let the emperor digest it for a moment, then adopted the attitude of a brother and spoke gently.
"Your Majesty, although I am younger than you, when the group was first established, I was the second in seniority. You can call me Second Brother in private. As your elder brother, I will not harm you."
"The Arsenal is of great importance. Only by taking steady steps can we achieve long-term stability."
Murong Tianci also looked concerned and said, "Yes, brother-in-law, think about it. If it really explodes like Shu Yue and Hua Hua said, it will be difficult to put out the fire. It will burn for a month or so, and the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in danger!"
The emperor's mind finally calmed down.
Gunpowder can blow up a mountain, and it can also blow up his arsenal.
The emperor slapped his thigh and sighed, "Fortunately, the higher-ups didn't agree to let Lan Ruoyue take full responsibility. It was so close!"
Murong Tianci secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, the emperor's brother-in-law had figured it out himself. If he was wrong and insisted on doing so, as a subject, he could not say anything.
Zhou Yunshen hid behind and secretly rolled his eyes, cursing inwardly for being so useless.
Even though he was an emperor, he was still stupid. He went crazy when he heard about hot weapons. He didn't look like a middle-aged man at all.
Zhou Yunshen calculated the time and said, "Now that the matter has been settled, we will not disturb Your Majesty from having a meal. We will take our leave."
"Wait, don't go!"
The emperor stood up and put his hands on their shoulders. "I finally managed to roast the medicinal pig. My two beloved ministers, please join me for dinner."
"No, my wife..."
"Hey, it's been a while since we, the monarch and my subjects, have gathered together. There are many details in the matter we just discussed that need to be discussed. My two beloved ministers, please share my worries!"
The emperor was also a martial artist and was much stronger than most people.
He held a person in one arm, which was a sign of His Majesty's grace in the eyes of outsiders. Even if the two ministers were very brave, they would not dare to openly shake off the emperor's hand in the presence of His Majesty.
Zhou Yunshen cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to greet the late emperor, so he could only greet His Majesty the Emperor from head to toe.
Jiang Shuyue ate and drank her fill at home, and when everyone left, she soaked in the bathtub, raised her hand in front of her nose and sniffed.
[Hotpot is delicious, but the smell is too strong. I have to wash my hair after eating it, which is so troublesome! Huahua, can you smell me? Do I still smell?]
Huahua: ...Thank you, this system has no nose!
Huahua: [After washing it so thoroughly, there shouldn't be any left, right?]
【Sure? 】
Jiang Shuyue was still unsure. If she brought the smell of hot pot into her stomach, she would be suffocated to death.
Huahua thought that she had eaten more delicious food than anyone else just now and almost ate up the small kitchen in the marquis's mansion. Now she actually disliked the smell of hot pot.
The contrast is too great to accept...
It circled around Jiang Shuyue twice: "Don't worry about these trivial matters. Let me tell you something to make you happy. Your husband and Murong Tianci were dragged to dinner by the emperor, and the prince took Xiaoliu to eat with Lan Ruoyue first."
Xiao Liu showed great courtesy, personally preparing roast suckling pig for Lan Ruoyue using fresh seasonings, causing her to faint twice.
Jiang Shuyue exclaimed: "Xiao Liu is so strong! I've been too busy these days and haven't had time to research new dishes with Xiao Liu. I didn't expect him to make such great progress. Given time, Xiao Liu will definitely become a big name in the Ministry of Justice."
Huahua also agreed: "Right, right, right. They fought without bloodshed. Xiaoliu will definitely surpass him in interrogating prisoners and create unprecedented torture methods. The world will also be free of bloodshed."
[Yes, yes, you're right. Educate Xiaoliu well. His progress is the progress of human civilization!]
Jiang Shuyue and Huahua talked about Xiaoliu's cooking skills with great approval and expressed high hopes for his future.
Zhou Luming personally brought over some clean clothes, and she was thinking as she stood at the door.
I heard that the Sixth Prince’s cooking is extremely bad, but I’ve never had the chance to see it.
Now it seems that Zhou Luming has a completely new understanding of the Sixth Prince.
At such a young age, he is so valued by his mother and Huahua. He must be a talented person.
Zhou Luming admired the Sixth Prince even more, and immediately arranged for someone to prepare rare ingredients for him.
When Zhou Yunshen was about to leave the palace, it was already dark.
He was thinking of Jiang Shuyue in his heart, and he didn't know if she would be angry if he left suddenly.
The more Zhou Yunshen thought about it, the more anxious he became. He took a big step and was about to jump onto the horse when a figure rushed towards him hurriedly from the darkness.
Zhou Yunshen's eyes flashed, and he leaped in mid-air, spinning and landing steadily on the ground.
"Fourth Prince, you are a precious treasure. If you get hurt, I cannot bear the consequences!"
The Fourth Prince's elegant and handsome face was filled with a feeling of grievance and loneliness.
"My Lord, you haven't spoken to me for a long time since we got married. Did Xiao Si do something wrong and make you angry?"
Zhou Yunshen took a deep breath in his heart.
He can't say: I distance myself from you because you have perverted thoughts about me?
If he couldn't get it, he would destroy it, not only taking the corpse but also his three children.
These true events have not happened yet, so even if Zhou Yunshen is angry, he cannot express it.
It’s so frustrating!
