Chapter 84 The Bell of the End of the World

When Zhu Weiyu arrived in the capital, he immediately wanted to see his father. Unfortunately, no matter how much she begged, the emperor was unwilling to see this useless daughter.

Even though the princess knelt outside the hall for almost a night, the emperor was still irritated and turned a deaf ear to the palace servants' plea.

When I first sent the princess to Chang'an, I had only one purpose. I hope that the princess could marry Yun Zhao and delay Yun Zhao and gain some more time for the precarious Ming Dynasty. This extremely simple task in the eyes of the emperor, the princess did not complete...

If it were the delicate princess in the past, not to mention kneeling down for a night in a cold night, even if it was slightly infected with the wind and cold, it would probably be fatal.

How could I get up and jump a few times, then run around the palace for a few times, and after sweating slightly on my forehead, I had nothing left, and I urged the palace maid to bring her a sumptuous breakfast.

When Empress Zhou saw her daughter eating breakfast like a wind and cloud, she said worriedly: "Don't you live well in Chang'an?"

The princess bit off half of the egg in one bite and said, "It's a good life."

Queen Zhou sighed and said, "I really feel wronged that you are going to Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, who are tyrannical heroes like him. Don't blame your father. He will have no choice but to let you go to Chang'an."

Zhu Weixiu looked at his mother and said, "It's good to go to Chang'an. No one humiliated me. Even Yun Zhao treated me with courtesy after seeing me, and there was no offense. When the child was in Chang'an, he lived in Yushan Academy to study.

Mother, if the child has the happiest days in his life, he will talk about Yushan Academy."

Queen Zhou said: "Don't comfort my son for his mother. The Yushan Academy is a place of tigers and wolves. How can my son live there safely?"

Zhu Weixiu said: "If we put aside the fact that they are traitors, the Master in Yushan Academy is the most knowledgeable and kind of person among the Masters that my child has ever met, and the scholars in the academy are also the most ambitious and capable people in the Ming Dynasty.

From the first day they entered school, they vowed to study for the prosperity and strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after graduation, some of them carried bags and long swords and went to the bitter and cold land of Hexi. They vowed not to destroy Loulan and never return. Some even rode a horse and carried a knife, carried a long bow on the arrow bag, and went straight to the gate of the deserted city to compete with the Tatars and Jiannu.

Some were clearly from the noble Yushan Academy, but were willing to join the slaves, teach them how to plant new crops, lead them to build water conservancy projects, and turn the dryland into fertile water irrigated land.

They also personally fought with small groups of robbers in the local area, killed robbers, captured robbers, and the place was filled with a clear image.

My child has been in Yushan Academy for three years and has gone from a weak woman in the boudoir to be able to dance with knives and sticks. If there is a firearm in hand, my daughter can also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

As he spoke, he took out a grenade the size of a fist from his waist and put it in front of his mother and said, "This is Lantian's famous grenade. If you pull this cable open, the flint inside will ignite the lead. If you stop three numbers in your hand, you can throw it out to kill the enemy. Even a weak woman can use this object to kill the brave warrior."

Queen Zhou pointed to the grenade with a trembling finger and said, "You just go to see your father with such a weapon?"

Zhu Weixiu said, "It's a pity that when he asked Yun Zhao for artillery, he refused to give it to him. If he could bring back hundreds of artillery, his daughter could rely on these artillery to protect her father and mother's mother's chastity.

It will definitely bombard the bandits like Li Hongji and others into pieces!”

After saying that, seeing his mother's disbelief look, she put down her chopsticks, pulled open the cable of the grenade, threw the grenade out of the window, and then covered the ears behind her.

With a loud "boom", a blooming wintersweet in the garden was immediately engulfed by the fire. The scattered fragments were like rain hitting the banana leaves, and it made the warm pavilion beside the wintersweet.

Queen Zhou looked at her daughter in horror, and her body was about to slide to the ground.

But I heard my daughter say in her ear: "We want to go to Jiangnan and cannot stay in this dead place in the capital."

The huge explosion soon attracted countless guards, eunuchs, and palace maids. Seeing that there were only the queen and princesses on the scene, everyone talked about it.

Zhu Weishi snorted coldly and said, "Get out of here."

The princess is in the deep palace and has always been weak. At this time, she stood in front of the hall and roared, and she was so majestic that people dare not look directly at her."

After a while, the guards, eunuchs and palace maids all fell to the ground, and even Queen Zhou knelt on the ground. Only Zhu Weiyu was still standing in front of the hall, waiting for his father to arrive.

"Did you learn to throw grenades in Chang'an?"

Chongzhen's feminine voice came from the corner of the side hall, and soon Zhu Weiyu saw his father.

Originally, her heart was full of grievance and resentment. When she saw her hair gray and old, she didn't look like a thirty-three-year-old father, but her tears gushed out like a tide. She took a few steps forward and threw herself into her father's arms and burst into tears.

Chongzhen gently stroked his daughter's hanging hair, and whispered with tears in his eyes: "It's your father who is useless, so he sent you into the tiger's and wolf's den."

Zhu Weiyu raised his pretty face full of tears and said firmly: "The father has sent it right, but it was a bit late. If the child entered Yushan Academy to study hard at the age of six, to this day, although the child cannot compete with the world pirates at sea like Han Xiufen, at least he can control his father and mother."

Chongzhen looked at the strong and indifferent daughter in his arms in surprise, let Queen Zhou stand up, and then held her daughter's hand and walked back into the hall again.

The guards, eunuchs and palace maids retreated like a tide.

"Where is the grenade, take it out and show it to the father."

Zhu Weiyu came to the front of a wooden box containing grenades, opened the box, took out a grenade, and carefully placed it in front of his father.

Chongzhen picked up the grenade, looked carefully for a while, and handed it to Zhu Weiyu again and said, "Don't throw it again."

Zhu Weiyu slowly pulled open the cable and threw the grenade out the window again.

With a loud "boom", the warm pavilion, which was already full of holes, finally collapsed in the fire.

Chongzhen came to the collapsed place of Nuan Pavilion to check it out, then went to the box containing grenades and looked up, and looked up at Zhu Weiyu and said, "I first knew about grenades from Lu Xiangsheng's memorial.

At that time, I knew that this thing was very useful on the battlefield, but it was expensive, and each piece cost five taels of silver.

The second time I saw the word "grenade" was in the memorial of Yuan Min, a thousand households of Jinyiwei. At that time, he said that the price of a grenade should be about three taels of silver.

The third time I saw these two words was seen in Sun Chuanting's memorial. At that time, he hoped that the court could purchase 100,000 grenades, so that he could completely defeat Li Hongji.

The fourth time was in the report of the late Liaodong Governor Hong Chengchou. He said that the grenades in the army were seriously insufficient and hoped that the court would purchase them. He also said that in order to attack Jiannu, Lantian Yunzhao would definitely sell the grenades to the court..."

Zhu Weixiu frowned and said, "Why didn't my father buy it?"

Chongzhen put his hands behind his back and looked at the broken Nuan Pavilion and said in disappointment: "No one is like a prince, showing me the real power of the grenade."

Zhu Weixiu gritted his teeth and said, "The father has another chance. This time, my son will go to buy grenades in person!"

Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Yun Zhao hates that I am not dead, he will not sell it."

Zhu Weixi said in surprise: "Father, my child doesn't think so. Although Yun Zhao is a bad thief, he still respects his father.

The child is watching the opera in Chang'an, the old man in Yun'an is there, the two wives of Yun Zhao are there, and the three children of Yun Zhao are there, but the people sitting in the upper seat will always be children.

Whether it is the Masters who are strict in teaching and respecting great etiquette, or the enthusiastic and domineering scholars, they also think that children should sit in the upper seat.

The weapons my father saw now were all bought by the child from Chang'an. The money for buying them came from Yun Zhao's contribution to his father, as well as Yun'an's contribution to his mother's queen, Yun Zhao's two wives to his mother's queen, and even the money given by several old Zhu friends who stayed in Chang'an.

The child took his own initiative and used this money to buy 5,000 grenades, 500 muskets, 1,000 kilograms of gunpowder, and 100,000 cannons in Tongguan.

Father, these things are enough to arm a battalion of five hundred people."

Chongzhen suddenly raised his head and looked at his daughter and said, "Can you really buy it? Including Lantian artillery?"

Zhu Weiyu said seriously: "The child is going to ask someone, he is more familiar with Lantian than me."

"Who?" Chongzhen's voice suddenly became louder, and there was a cold feeling in his eyes.

Seeing that his father was still suspicious, Zhu Weiyu sighed slightly in his heart and said, "Mu Tiantao, the prince of Prince Mu's mansion!"

Hearing that it was from the Mu Palace, Chongzhen's vigilance slowly faded away, and he nodded and said, "The Mu Palace is still my good minister."

Zhu Weixiu said again: "He has already entered Beijing to attend the grand ceremony of his father's talent sweeping this year."

Chongzhen nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Okay, okay, okay, there are still loyal ministers and filial sons in the Ming Dynasty. I ordered him to come to see me. I want to give you an opportunity in person."

Zhu Weishi immediately ran out happily.

Queen Zhou looked at her daughter's back as she left, saying to the emperor: "This prince of Prince Mu's mansion is probably deep in her daughter's heart."

Chongzhen said coldly: "I will only know after reading it."

Queen Zhou whispered: "The country is in a difficult situation, I know that if the destiny of heaven is not violated, why don't Your Majesty entrust Wei Yu to this person?"

Chongzhen glared at Empress Zhou and said, "My Ming Dynasty has destroyed Yuan and proclaimed himself emperor since Emperor Taizu destroyed Yuan and was named Da Ming. It has been twelve generations and has passed on 16 emperors. It has enjoyed 275 years of national life, and has experienced countless storms and waves. How could it lose its ambition just because of a few bandits?

Since she is my daughter, she must obey her parents' orders. Although Zhou Shixian died in vain, if she needs it, she can still marry someone in need. Don't mention this matter again."

Queen Zhou said in a voice: "Your Majesty, if the Ming Dynasty falls, let me accompany you to apologize to the ancestors and ancestors. You should spare your daughter and let her have a way out."

Chongzhen laughed sadly and said, "Where is the family?"
