56. Your Majesty, you have to give an explanation.

After a cup of tea, I came to Tingfang and the emperor wearing only socks finally arrived on a horse.

The scene in front of me was very miserable. My nephew Chai Lingwu was supported by Yuan from the imperial guards, and his whole body seemed to be dug out of the soil. His eyes were not shining, and he sat on the ground in a daze.

Through the emperor's shocked eyes, we can see that half of the wall of the fang fang west of Laitingfang collapsed, and there was no house in the fang, and half of the fang was like flat ground.

There were still wood burning sporadically in the yard, but there was no trace of vitality.

The emperor stuttered and stuttered, finally asked: "What... is this... what's going on!"

Chai Lingwu finally came back to his senses, and he rolled and crawled in front of his uncle, knelt down and cried, "Uncle, Lingwu almost couldn't see you!"

Seeing his nephew's collapse, the emperor felt sad and helped Chai Lingwu up and asked softly: "Lingwu, tell my uncle, what happened?"

"Fried, fried, fried!"

Chai Lingwu replied while crying: "It must be Wei Suo. He asked the craftsmen to light the lamp and work overtime to make gunpowder. It must be because of this. They accidentally caught fire and exploded! All the craftsmen were dead. I dare not save them, and I can't save them either!

Uncle, there are about a thousand kilograms of gunpowder. If I hadn't suddenly remembered what Tang Laosi said about lying down when he encountered an explosion, I would probably not have seen you. You didn't see it, and the air waves that exploded could be seen with the naked eye! It directly flattened the house, and my nephew felt that his scalp was scraped and hurt when he was lying down!"

Chai Lingwu explained the matter clearly with tears in his nose.

The dust on Chai Lingwu's face, the pungent smell of gunpowder on his body, and what intermittent words made the emperor's face look very bad.

How many craftsmen and apprentices died when the emperor was not angry? Compared to a war, what is this?

What the emperor was angry about was the mistake made by another nephew, which almost caused the nephew who had watched him grow up to die. The most important thing was that the nephew was transferred to the gunpowder prison himself, and his face was dull!

What the emperor was angry about was that Concubine Wei's nephew had only been in office for only three days and successfully turned a department-level unit into ashes. There was no place for his evil fire to be released!

It was at this time that the two brothers Li Dejian and Li Dezhao arrived.

The emperor did not give the two brothers a chance to be shocked and angry, and cursed with a angrily face: "You two are the chief supervisors of the Gunpowder Commission! Wei Suo doesn't understand gunpowder, don't you two understand? Especially you, Li Dezhao, you are the most familiar with gunpowder except Tang He? Wei Suo does not persuade him to do anything wrong?"

Finally, he ran to Tang He, who was taking a prisoner to the gunpowder prison, and saw this scene in his eyes and ears.

The tingling pain and anger that burned everything went straight from the lower abdomen to the head, and Tang Laosi walked to the emperor with a blue face.

Li Dezhang and Li Dejian looked at Tang He with guilt on their faces.

Tang Heshang patted the two of them on the shoulders, then stepped forward and stood between the emperor and Li Dejian.

Suddenly, Tang Laosi raised his head and looked playful, but his voice was very cold: "Your Majesty, your aunt and nephew are really amazing. One spent three days to razed the gunpowder prison created by Tang to the ground; the other scolded two conscientious supervisors at the door of the gunpowder prison, but did not say that someone was going to arrest the relatives who had committed the crime.

Is the "Wude Rule" necessary to be exempted from the royal relatives? If so, the criminal minister wants to ask His Majesty for marriage and choose a princess to marry the minister. In this way, the minister can be more courageous in doing things in the future!"

His Majesty Li Er suddenly felt angry and took a deep breath and said, "Tanghe, let's not say that you should be in the Heavenly Prison at this time! Just the matter between the Gunpowder Supervision and the Wei Institute is not something you should care about!"

"hehe!"

Tang Laosi sneered: "Tianzhu, someone stole the key of the prison guard and rushed here forcibly. The prison guard behind me is here to chase me. Your Majesty can be punished as a prison escape!

As for the Wei Suo and the Gunpowder Supervision Office, I should not be in charge of the Wei Suo. I have no control over the imperial concubine's nephew and royal relatives! But this Gunpowder Office was established by me, Tang Laosi! All the craftsmen who died in it were selected by me, Tang Laosi, who were the prisoners!

Your Majesty doesn’t care about these things. I have to care about these half of the house, and I have to die in them for more than a dozen lives!

That tmd is a family. If Tang He comes to them to do such a dangerous industry, you have to be responsible for them!"

"On the Tang River!"

The emperor shouted loudly, and said with murderous aura, "Fire, medicine, supervision, right, country, family!"

"National?"

Tang Heshang said with a sarcastic look on his face: "Yes, Your Majesty exchanged three items for a baron and a sixth-rank false post. Otherwise, we won't do this business anymore! Your Majesty demoted Tang Heshang to a commoner or chopped his head! Don't do this gunpowder, horse hooves and saddles, etc., just treat it as a gift from the minister to the elders."

Emperor Li Er's face was as dark as ink, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching told everyone on the spot that he was trying his best to endure it.

Taking a deep breath, the emperor forced himself to suppress the murderous intent and said coldly: "Tang Laosi, you're parting!"

He grinned in anger and said coldly: "I'm too much? As for His Majesty's state officials setting fires and venting their anger at people, not allowing me to light the lamps and hold accountable to the Lord?"

The emperor became even more angry and stretched out his fingers to point at Tang He and said, "Prisoner, take him back to the heavenly prison! Let him run out, I will ask for your head!"

The prison guard stepped forward with a timid voice. How could he think of the young master in front of him? The first thing a man from a big county ran to the gunpowder supervision was to confront the emperor?

Otherwise, if I had lent him a hundred courages, I wouldn’t dare to let the wind come out of Tanghe!

It was at this moment that a female voice came from behind the emperor: "Tanghe should indeed be taken back to the Heavenly Prison, but Your Majesty should also give him an explanation! He should give an explanation to the Gunpowder Supervision more than ten lives."

The emperor Muran turned around and stared at the woman and said, "Guanyin maid, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

It turned out that the female voice was coming from Empress Changsun who followed the emperor.

Empress Changsun said with a stubborn look: "The harem is indeed not allowed to interfere in politics, but did your Majesty remember that in the past four years, any conviction of a death row prisoner needs to be jointly judged by the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple and then handed it over to you for a review?

That's why your Majesty, you are kind and aloud. This is the case with death row prisoners, let alone more than a dozen craftsmen and apprentices who have made contributions to the country now die?

Your Majesty is my husband. I cannot watch you make mistakes without admonishing you!”

After Queen Changsun said this, Li Er's anger dissipated a lot.
