Zeng Jian, the Minister of Works, was drunk by Zhu Houzhao, and realized that he was sick and the pain was very painful. He should be weak and powerless, but he jumped off the chariot because he was afraid of being killed by the bomb.

For a moment, Zeng Jian was extremely embarrassed and cold sweat came out from behind: "My, my illness is cured! It's cured!"

Zhu Houzhao snorted and waved her sleeves: "Since you're cured, you have to go to the Arsenal Bureau to lead the way for me. You go in first, Xia Yan, what's the matter?"

Zeng Jian saw that Zhu Houzhao was going to let him enter the Arsenal Bureau, and became even more embarrassed for a moment. He reluctantly knelt down directly, holding his mouth in his mouth, as if he was about to cry and beg for mercy, but he seemed to be very excited. He waved his hand and knocked his head on the ground: "Your Majesty! I beg your Majesty if you can not let me in? I know the crime, I really know the crime!"

"What are you guilty? I don't understand. Zeng Aiqing, you are just accused of being sick but not being ruthless. Who doesn't get sick for 365 days a year? Besides, you are still an old minister, but because you are an old minister, I have to rely on you more! So, since you have recovered, you will continue to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue for me. Go in first, and I will come back later!"

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself that he wanted to see when Zeng Jian was going to perform. He didn't want to enter the Ordnance Bureau, but he just asked you to enter the Ordnance Bureau, but he wanted to see what conspiracy you set up in the Ordnance Bureau.

After Zhu Houzhao said this, he continued to ask Xia Yan: "Tell me, what do you have to report?"

Then, Zhu Houzhao saw that Zeng Jian, the Minister of Works, was still kneeling on the ground and refused to move his butt, so he couldn't help but drink:

"Why, don't you want to go in yet! Do you take my words as an insult?! You are also an old minister of the three dynasties. You are my Ming official, not my slave. Why do you kneel on the ground if you have nothing to do? Did I ask you to kneel? Can Ming officials kneel at will? Now I just let you go to the Ordnance Bureau first and let me in! Didn't you hear it?!"

The Minister of Works Zeng Jian trembled all over and pointed to the Ordnance Bureau: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this, this..."

At this time, there was no need to say Zeng Jian himself or Zhu Houzhao to ask again. Xia Yan also guessed the situation and bowed to him first: "Your Majesty! I impeached the Minister of Works Zeng Jian to plot against the monarch!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

The Minister of Works once instinctively denied it and pointed at Xia Yan: "You are just a small Jinshi in politics. What qualifications do you have to slander me!"

"Your Majesty! I impeach Xia Yan and slander important officials!" Zeng said with a harsh expression on his face.

"Your Majesty! I am not slandering. Now Guangjiu has a large amount of gunpowder, not sulfur and saltpeter. I have evidence here. I have these gunpowders taken from Guangjiuku and have registration certificates!"

As Xia Yan said that, he took out the voucher and a pack of gunpowder and voucher.

When Zhu Houzhao heard Xia Yan say this, she guessed the secret here and thought to herself: "No wonder Zeng Jian refused to enter the Armory Bureau. It turned out that she wanted to blow himself to death. It's so cruel!"

"Xia Yan! How much gunpowder does the Galaxy Library of the Ordnance Bureau have? Can you estimate how much explosion firepower can be? " Zhu Houzhao asked with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, it's okay to blow up the entire Guangjikuan and the Arsenal Bureau," Xia Yan replied.

"Guo Rong! After passing the order, the Jinyiwei retreated a hundred steps and surrounded the Ordnance Bureau a hundred steps away! No one inside was allowed to come out! In addition, Xia Yan, you lead the team to Wanggong Factory to check the amount of gunpowder to see if the number is reduced! Whether it is in line with the gunpowder stock in Guangjiku!"

Zhu Houzhao said that, then rode his horse away from the Ordnance Bureau, but he didn't go far. After confirming that even if the Ordnance Bureau exploded, he asked Zeng Jian, the Minister of Works, who was taken to the Ministry of Works, who was taken here, and said, "Zeng Jian, what do you have to say now?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't know that there is gunpowder in Guangjiku. I have been recuperating at home these days, but I really don't know!" Zeng Jian still denied it because he also knew that once the crime of regicide was admitted, it would be implicated in the ten clans!

"Then why don't you dare to enter the Ordnance Bureau? You're so stubborn! Don't think I can't pry your mouth open!" Zhu Houzhao scolded and asked, "Do you really want to blow me to death and let me smash it to pieces?"

"I, I dare not, I really dare not! Your Majesty!" Zeng Jian knelt down again.

"You said you didn't dare, you did this! Fortunately, Ma Wensheng said that you were mature and polite and loyal, and I almost believed it." Zhu Houzhao said and asked again:

"Do you civil officials really want me to die? I wish I could die? Unfortunately, I didn't do it as you wish! Also, do you think you are very smart and think you can get rid of yourself by catching illness? You are not smart, you are stupid. You really think I am a three-year-old child. As soon as you are ill, you will have murder cases one after another and directly point to the new policy of banning the craftsman system. Anyone can suspect that this is related to the people of the Ministry of Works and the military battle, but you, the Minister of Works, is impossible because you are at home for recuperation, but you are wrong. This means that you are the most likely!

Also, even if you pretend to be sick, can you have some common sense? Don’t just memorize the Four Books and Five Classics all day long and read a few more medical books. The disease of stone is caused by stones in the kidneys. The kidney is located on the back. Why do you keep touching the front side of the right abdomen? And the upper part of the right abdomen? There is the stomach! Are you ignorant? Or do you think I am ignorant?”

Zhu Houzhao scolded loudly and smiled faintly, without saying anything, but only took the copper monocoque glass telescope from the hands of the attendant officials and continued to observe the direction of the Ordnance Bureau:

"If I'm not mistaken, your man will let an explosion occur in the Ordnance Bureau after I enter the Ordnance Bureau."

At this time, Zeng Jian, the Minister of Works, did not say anything, his whole body was trembling. He did not expect that he would have such a big flaw! He did not expect that Zhu Houzhao, an emperor who was good at the deep palace, also knew medical principles, and he could not escape the magic eye of his acting like this?! He did not expect that this emperor's temple could be so deep!

The Minister of Works Zeng Jian felt fear, and a cold sweat dripped from his forehead for a moment, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Guo Rong came to report: "Your Majesty, the Ordnance Bureau has been surrounded, and the crossbowmen are all ready. The people inside are now unable to fly!"

Then, Xia Yan also reported: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a batch of gunpowder missing from Wang Gongchang. According to the records, it was the order of the Minister of Works, Zeng Jian, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, who was transferred to Guangjikuo! The reason was that Your Majesty wanted to see the fireworks."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sneer and pointed at Zeng Jian, Minister of Works: "Can you think of a better reason? Do you want to frame me in addition to bombing me to death, and frame me as accusing me of being cynical and wanting to see fireworks, which leads to an explosion in the Ordnance Bureau. What a vicious idea!"

The Minister of Works Zeng Jian did not refute it.

"Xia Yan, do you think there are still many officials who want me to die?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked Xia Yan at this time.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are certainly selfish ministers who are secretly dissatisfied with dissatisfaction. After all, Your Majesty's new policy is for the people, but not for the gentry and Confucian scholars." Xia Yan was also deeply "toxic" by Zhu Houzhao's new ideas for two years in the Capital University, so he was not polite to speak.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao just smiled and looked at Zeng Jian: "Zeng Jian, would you like to redeem your sins and reduce the punishment?"
