The happy life of a prodigal

When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression became a little serious. He glanced at Zhang Wen and said coldly: "We are all ministers of Chu, and we should respect your Majesty, whether there are people or not."

Zhang Wen still wanted to say something, but seeing Fang Xiu's eyes, he swallowed back what he hadn't said, echoed twice, and said: "Your Majesty's order is very simple, that is, you go to the palace to meet him. "

After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that it was too perfunctory. He gritted his teeth and added a few sentences: "I heard that it seems to be related to kites and fireworks."

When Fang Xiu heard this, he felt a 'thump' in his heart.

So soon, the news about the fireworks has already reached Emperor Chu's ears?

Sorry for thinking...

Fang Xiu sighed, waved his hands, and said, "I see."

Now his mind started to run rapidly, thinking about what kind of excuse he could find to confuse the fireworks.

Zhang Wen looked at Fang Xiu and saw that his brows were tightly furrowed. He was a little flustered, for fear that the great demon king would take his anger out on him.

After waiting for a while, it's okay... the young master Fang just sighed, as if he didn't want to vent his anger on himself.

So, after thinking about it, he bravely opened his mouth: "Your Majesty means that if Mr. Fang is free, it is best to go see His Majesty now."

Fang Xiu frowned slightly when he heard this.

He knew that Zhang Wen was afraid of him, so what he said must have been artistically processed.

It is absolutely impossible for Emperor Chu to order others to use such a tone.

If you're free, go see him right now...

The meaning of this sentence can also be understood as, go see him now, or you will have good fruit for your kid in the future.

What should come will always come. When I took out this giant firework, I thought that it might be discovered by others. In the worst case, I would just stop doing it and develop gunpowder into a weapon...

What Nobel can do, he may not be able to...send someone to do it.

Anyway, as long as you don't let yourself go into battle in the end, it's fine.

Chapter 286 Shocking the Chu Emperor

Fang Xiu thought in this way, turned around and walked out of the mansion gate, and rushed to the palace with Zhang Wen.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, he was quite emotional...

Originally thought that after the banquet at Honglu Temple, I would be able to relax for a few days, but I didn't expect that I was busier than before, and I didn't have time to rest for several days.

Unlucky things, almost one after another, made him a little tired of coping.

After being busy for a long time early in the morning, Fang Xiu lay on the blanket of the carriage, feeling a little confused after a while.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in front of the palace gate.

The pro-army in front of the palace gate are now very familiar with the carriage of the Fang Mansion, and they did not stop them in any way.

Fang Xiu got off the carriage and followed the direction in his memory to the depths of the palace.

After a while, he arrived in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Standing behind Fang Xiu, Zhang Wen said in a unique voice: "Habayashi Wei Zuo Zhonglang, please see Fang Xiu..."

"Xuan."

It was the voice of Emperor Chu.

Only then did Fang Xiu lift the curtain of the Nuan Pavilion and walk in.

He walked up to the case, stood upright, bowed respectfully, and said: "The minister is going to see Your Majesty."

Hearing his voice, Emperor Chu raised his eyes and glanced at him, with an inexplicable expression on his face, which seemed a little melancholy.

These days, the number of times he Xuan Fangxiu met was more than the three cabinet scholars.

Whenever a matter ends, this kid can always cause some new things, but it is still very important, which really makes Chu Huang love and hate.

"Exemption."

He is already very familiar with Fang Xiu, and he doesn't have so many polite words, so he straight to the point: "I heard that in the capital two days ago, the giant fireworks and giant kites were created by you, for Yan'er Birthday?"

Everyone knew about this matter, and Fang Xiu wanted to hide it, but he had no choice but to admit it generously: "That's right, the giant fireworks and the giant kite were indeed made by the minister."

Emperor Chu nodded, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, "I heard that you have recently set up a fireworks workshop and a kite workshop, and plan to sell these fireworks and kites in the capital?"

really......

Fang Xiu finally understood whose order the Qinjun Mansion was following. He raised his eyes, looked at Emperor Chu, nodded and said, "I have this idea, but I haven't implemented it yet."

When Emperor Chu heard this, he pretended to be indifferent, and said, "I also heard that the power of the giant fireworks is astonishing. When it was set off, a beggar was seriously injured by the contact with it. Is it true?"

Hearing this sentence, Fang Xiu felt a 'thump' in his heart.

I have long known that it is absolutely impossible for a person like Emperor Chu to send out the pro-military mansion to block the kite workshop and fireworks workshop that he has not yet built just because of a little bit of money.

It now appears that this is indeed the case.

It's just that I don't know who actually spread this matter to the palace...

A prairie seemed to appear in Fang Xiu's heart, with countless alpacas galloping past it.

But the expression on his face didn't change much, he just nodded and admitted: "That's right, there was indeed a beggar who was injured by fireworks..."

When he said this, he paused and continued to explain: "But I once told the servants in the mansion that when the fireworks are set off, they must stay by the side and wait until the fireworks are over before leaving.

Moreover, before the servant of the minister's mansion left, he specifically told the beggar not to approach the fireworks..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Chu: "Okay..."

The vicissitudes of the Chu Emperor's face did not change much, which made Fang Xiu feel a little guilty, wondering what this man was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Chu finally said, "A small firework has such amazing power."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu knew that he had finally gotten to the point.

In fact, he was tempted to answer: no.

However, he was not the only one who knew about fireworks hurting people, and Xia Yixue was not the only one who knew about it.

He doesn't know how many people in the capital know about this matter.

But no matter how many people know it, as long as it is different from what I said, then the unlucky one must be me in the end.

That being the case, it is better to tell the truth from the beginning.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fang Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Chu, with a serious expression on his face, nodded, and said: "As long as the proportion of gunpowder is right, fireworks can cause huge damage. Another thing..."

After hearing this, Emperor Chu was overwhelmed with emotion.

Fireworks can hurt people, they can cause great harm, even a child on the street can understand what it means.

So, he almost couldn't wait to ask: "What?"

Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu, and slowly uttered two words: "Fire."

When Emperor Chu heard this, he was a little speechless.

This kid really thinks that he is not as good as the children on the street.

Although I don't know how the giant fireworks are made, but I think they are not much different from ordinary fireworks, and it is only natural that they need fire.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu and said, "So, the most critical part is the ratio of gunpowder?"

As expected of the emperor of the Chu Kingdom, with just a few words, he caught the main point.

Even Fang Xiu, a modern person, couldn't help feeling a little admiration for Emperor Chu at this moment.

Of course, only a little.

"Your Majesty is right. The most important part of making giant fireworks is the ratio of gunpowder."

Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu, and he simply spoke up and said very straightforwardly: "If the proportion of gunpowder is correct, even fireworks can cause great damage, even houses made of stone, even houses built on the northeast border The Great Wall can also be blown into powder..."

Hearing this, even though he was as calm as the Emperor Chu, he couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

Although Fang Xiu is a bit of a dandy, he is still very trustworthy at critical times.

At the very least, none of the things he said was undone.

Since he said that it is possible to blow up houses made of stones and the Great Wall built on the border into powder, it must be possible to do so.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu couldn't help feeling heroic.

If there is such a magic weapon, what is the mere Grassland Begging Yan Department!

only......

After a while, Emperor Chu finally calmed down from his surging heart.

He looked at Fang Xiu with sharp eyes, and after a long time, he asked, "Then, do you still remember the gunpowder ratio of the giant fireworks?"

Fang Xiu looked at Emperor Chu, thought for a while, and replied: "If Your Majesty wants fireworks to be weapons, even giant fireworks cannot meet this requirement.

Therefore, it is necessary to readjust the formula and conduct countless experiments before it is possible to make the weapon described by the minister..."

Chapter 287 At Your Order

When Emperor Chu heard this, a pensive expression appeared on the vicissitudes of his face.

After a while, he raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu standing in front of him, and said in a very serious tone: "Adjusting the proportion of gunpowder, can it really be possible to make such a powerful weapon?"

Although there are giant fireworks in front,... no matter how thrilling the following memorial is, after all, only one beggar was seriously injured, which is far from the effect that Fang Xiu said.

He still didn't quite believe it.

When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression was equally serious, and he replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed so."

"it is good!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Emperor Chu suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, "This matter involves a lot, and it is of great significance to me, Da Chu.

Therefore, I entrust Habayashi Guard to your jurisdiction. As long as you don't leave the capital, don't harm ordinary people, and don't cause great harm, you can use it at your disposal. Be sure to develop the weapon you mentioned! "

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu immediately felt a lot of pressure.

The development of explosives is not so easy, let alone give yourself a Habayashi guard who is almost useless, or hand over the entire pro-army to yourself, there is no way...

Moreover, the risk factor of developing this thing is extremely high. In his previous life, his inventor Nobel died because of this.

He didn't want to make the same mistake again.

only......

Raising his eyes, he glanced at Emperor Chu. Fang Xiu still didn't have the courage to refuse his request. After thinking about it, he saluted and replied: "I will do my best."

If someone else spoke in such a tone in front of Emperor Chu, they might be punished for a serious crime of disrespect.

But...this is Fang Xiu, the Emperor Chu just glanced at him, didn't say anything, but asked: "How is the matter I entrusted to you before?"

Things that were entrusted to me before?

Fang Xiu showed doubts on his face, looked at Emperor Chu, and asked, "I don't know what your majesty is talking about?"

When Emperor Chu heard this, he suddenly felt an unknown anger, wishing to go up and give him a kick.

But after thinking about it, he had indeed given too many things to the child, and it was common sense that he couldn't remember clearly.

So, he replied: "Naturally, it is the case of Armament Library. It has been more than two months now, how is your investigation going?"

The Arms Depot Case...

Fang Xiu was startled for a moment, but then reacted abruptly. He stood in front of Emperor Chu with a look of hesitation on his face. After thinking about it, he still said, "I don't dare to say it."

If you don't know, you don't know, if you know, you don't know.

Since he took the throne, he has never heard the minister say the words "not too dare to say" to himself.

Chu Huang's face was not very good-looking, but he silently recited 'brain disease' and 'don't care' in his heart, which relieved his mood.

"Is there anything you dare not say, in the whole world, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, or the subject of the king, with the Lord of the world, I, backing you, what have you to be afraid of!"

When Emperor Chu said this, his tone suddenly became more serious, making people feel an extremely heroic aura.

When Fang Xiu heard this, she stopped being a mother-in-law, raised her eyes, looked at Emperor Chu, and said slowly: "I think that the case of the Armed Forces Storehouse is most likely committed by His Highness King Ning."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and stood there quietly without further words.
