The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 313
[Chapter 313 Is this divine punishment?]
After a series of strange welcome ceremonies, Fang Xiu followed Emperor Chu and walked towards the experimental site.
Although a stable and controllable natural punishment has not yet been developed, for now, it only needs to show its power.
As long as you get the strong support from the palace, the subsequent series of tasks will be much simpler.
“See Your Majesty!”
Although it was a private visit incognito, but with that movement just now, Lin Wei, right winger, and who else didn’t know that the somewhat elderly middle-aged man in Chinese clothes in front of him was His Majesty the Emperor?
Emperor Chu just waved his hand and said casually: “No need to be polite.”
Then, he turned his eyes to Fang Xiu behind him and asked: “I wonder where the punishment from heaven that Fang Qing mentioned is?”
Fang Xiu heard this. After speaking, he first bowed and then replied: “Your Majesty, the punishment is right there.”
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction.
The Emperor of Chu and the princes looked along and saw a small bundle lying in an open space. It looked very similar to the fireworks set off during the New Year.
“This”
all the gentlemen looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn’t know what to say.
After all, that thing really looks more and more like fireworks.
They took a carriage from Miyagi all the way here. The road was bumpy and bumpy, but they only came to the countryside to watch him set off fireworks! ?
Not
to mention the elders of the pavilion, even those with the temperament of Emperor Chu, all had a straight face at this moment and asked: “Is this the heavenly punishment you described in the memorial?”
Fang Xiu nodded, Said: “Report to your majesty, this is indeed a punishment from heaven!”
“Nonsense!”
After receiving the affirmative answer, before Emperor Chu could speak, Mr. Liu Ge behind him felt an unknown fire rising in his heart, and subconsciously moved in front of the king. He
forgot all the rituals and shouted, “Your Majesty, you have gone
from the Nuan Pavilion to this wilderness just to watch you set off a firework?”
He was interrupted by Fang Xiu in the middle of his sentence.
Fang Xiu looked at Mr. Liu Ge and said unhappily: “This is a punishment from heaven and an important weapon of the country. How come it turns into fireworks when it reaches Mr. Liu’s mouth?”
Mr. Liu heard these words that were almost sophistry. , feeling more and more angry, he stretched out his hand, pointed at the Heavenly Punishment on the open space, and said angrily: “You are a three-year-old kid, this is obviously a firework, what does it have to do with the Heavenly Punishment?
Don’t you Do you still want to do that and pretend to be a deer?”
Although the last sentence was angry, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Can the allusion of referring to a deer as a horse be used casually?
In just a moment, Mr. Liu Ge realized it himself. With an unnatural expression on his face, he turned around and bowed to Emperor Chu. He said guiltily: “Old minister, I am rude in front of you. Please punish me.”
Liu Ge Lao Nai was a wise minister in two dynasties. When the former emperor was still there, he worked in the Six Ministries and was of great help to the Emperor of Chu.
The Emperor of Chu was a benevolent king, so naturally he would not punish him for this. He just snorted with a straight face and said: “There won’t be another time.”
Although the tone was very harsh, in fact it was Lifting it high and putting it down gently, Mr. Liu Ge breathed a sigh of relief: “Thank you, Your Majesty.”
When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he was a little disdainful and was too lazy to pay attention to this old thing. Instead, he looked at Emperor Chu and said: “Your Majesty, This is indeed a punishment from heaven, so I will send someone to ignite this punishment from heaven.”
Emperor Chu didn’t have much hope for this so-called punishment from heaven. At this moment, when he saw this firework-like thing, he became even more excited. He was almost desperate. After hearing Fang Xiu’s request, he just waved his hand and said casually: “Go.”
Fang Xiu nodded and said: “The power of heaven’s punishment is like a meteor falling to the ground. Where your Majesty is standing, there is Within the scope, please take a few steps back for safety.”
Emperor Chu was speechless when he heard this.
Subconsciously, he glanced at the firework-like thing. How could he be hurt when he was standing so far away?
However, due to the fatigue of traveling and riding, he was no longer able, or in other words, too lazy to bother with Fang Xiu on such minutiae.
What’s more, he is also worried about his own safety.
Emperor Chu nodded, didn’t say anything more, and silently took a few steps back.
When the other pavilion elders saw this, although they were very disdainful of the heavenly punishment, they had no choice but to take a few steps back.
But he didn’t expect that Fang Xiu was still not satisfied, and said again: “Your Majesty, there is still danger there.”
Emperor Chu resisted the urge to get angry, took a few steps back again, and asked: “Then I am standing here, what punishment will I have on that day?” You can’t hurt me, right?”
Fang Xiu glanced at Emperor Chu, then looked back at Tianpu, and roughly estimated the impact of the explosion in his mind. He felt that there was no problem, so he nodded and replied: “No problem.”
Emperor Chu hummed when he heard this, but didn’t say anything more. He silently looked at the Heavenly Punishment in the open space, as if he didn’t care much.
Several important court officials behind him acted more directly, and even started talking in low voices.
“Mr. Ma, how powerful do you think this thing can be?”
Mr. Liu Ge looked at Ma Wenhua and said in a teasing tone.
This is what happened on the carriage before revenge.
Ma Wenhua didn’t seem to notice, and said carelessly: “My nephew, he has a brain disease!”
This tone made people feel a bit proud.
For a moment, Mr. Liu Ge was stunned and didn’t know what to say.
So, he snorted coldly and did not answer the call. Instead, he looked at Yan Zhuang beside him and asked, “How powerful does Mr. Yan think this so-called heavenly punishment can be?”
Yan Zhuang didn’t think much of Fang Xiu. prejudice, but after seeing the so-called ‘Heavenly Punishment’ that was completely inconsistent with the description.
The good impression I had accumulated on the tea-horse trade and the return of the land to the locals had mostly dissipated. He frowned and said, “You should not be able to withstand the impact of the iron cavalry.” Everyone
present here are the pillars of the imperial court. Naturally, they know that His Majesty’s orders are right. The purpose of Habayashi Wei’s development of Heavenly Punishment.
So the things discussed are very direct.
This heavenly punishment that His Majesty has high hopes for cannot withstand the prairie people!
After just one glance, everyone already had the answer.
Therefore, except for Mr. Liu Ge, who was asking questions in a somewhat angry manner.
The other three people have already begun to think about how things will develop in the future.
If what happened in the palace before spread to the Qiyan Department and caused the Qiyan Department to be dissatisfied, should they make peace or fight?
Who should be sent to negotiate, what conditions should be offered, and whether marriage is still possible.
Who should be the commander of the war faction, how to prepare military pay, what kind of strategy should be adopted, what should be done if they win, and what should be done if they lose.
These are all issues they need to consider.
