Cross Country Little Master

Chapter 103 Gunpowder

Fang Ruixuan showed his skills in the Hanlin Academy. Before he started to select candidates, those adults who were obsessed with learning rushed to find Fang Ruixuan to grab a spot.

In the Hanlin Academy, it is hard work and seniority, and there is nothing special about the government affairs of the Qingshui Yamen. It is better to follow along and do this unprecedented thing.They attach importance to official career, but also the reputation of future generations.

So Fang Ruixuan hadn't been out of the house these few days because of being blocked, and his promise to accompany Liu Sheng to go shopping with him was in vain.

In other words, Fang Ruixuan is not in the mood to go shopping now, he is a small person, he has been in the capital for a few days and has gained so much limelight, although it is not his own intention, but at this juncture, it is inevitable that people will miss him.

For his own sake, Fang Ruixuan was extremely unwilling to get involved in disputes in the officialdom.

"Ah Sheng, I'm sorry." Fang Ruixuan said to Liu Sheng guiltily.

Liu Sheng smiled slightly and shook his head. He didn't mind these things. Fang Ruixuan had treated him well enough, so naturally he wouldn't blame him for such trivial matters, "My husband, you don't have to feel ashamed of me. It's the same if I go by myself." .”

"Let Ming'er send a few more people to you. We'll buy whatever we fancy. My husband will go to the palace to do a big business with the emperor in exchange for some money." Fang Ruixuan said generously.

"What big business." Liu Sheng looked at him worriedly, "Is there any danger?"

Liu Sheng didn't understand those things in the court, but he also understood the truth that being with a king is like being with a tiger.

Fang Ruixuan nodded, "This is also to eliminate future troubles forever. If I am true, Chen'er has grown up and can be your support. The two of you should properly raise our two children. If you have any If you can't solve the problem, you can go to Tang Yan, he will protect you." Fang Ruixuan said in a serious tone, but he didn't want to deceive Liu Sheng, he would rather Liu Sheng had a mental preparation in advance, and he didn't want him to suddenly get the bad news of his death, Just fell down.

"Husband, what are you talking about? What will kill you." He grabbed Fang Ruixuan's lapel and asked, his voice was already crying. He was clearly talking about shopping just now, why did he speak so heavily? topic.

Fang Ruixuan patted Liu Sheng's head, "Fool, it's safest if you don't know about this."

"Husband, I don't want you to die. Let's not tell the emperor. We live together as a family. I have no father, no mother, and no family members. It's just you and the children. What do we do when you die?" Liu Sheng cried out of breath in Fang Ruixuan's arms.

The daughter-in-law was crying so sad, Fang Ruixuan also felt a little sad, "If you don't talk about it, it doesn't mean no one knows about it. If you don't hand it over now, if you hand it over in the future, you will inevitably be punished for not reporting what you know. Then it will be the time for our family to be wiped out." .We have lived peacefully for 11 years, and I have earned these 11 years, but you have suffered."

"Husband, don't die. I will accompany you when you die." Liu Sheng said, he is such a selfish person. When he was alive in dire straits, it was Fang Ruixuan who appeared to save him and let him live a human life. During the day, Fang Ruixuan protected him like an eyeball and doted on him.Before meeting Fang Ruixuan, he never thought that he could live such a life in his life.Fang Ruixuan has been good for more than ten years, and has long been integrated into his blood.

He never dared to think that he would lose Fang Ruixuan one day, if that day really came, he would rather die with him.

Fang Ruixuan hugged Liu Sheng tightly, kissed the tears on his face, and said with a choked voice, "I don't necessarily die, I just want you to prepare early just in case. And if you die too, What about our bumper and Xu'er, do you have the heart for them to live the same life as you used to?"

"They still have Chen'er, Huiming and the others, they won't be as miserable as me."

"After all, you still have to live on the favor of others. Except for your biological parents, outsiders in this world are unreliable. You are really willing to give your own child to others." Fang Ruixuan reprimanded Liu Sheng, even as a father. Can't let go of that heart, can a father like Liu Sheng really be so cruel that he doesn't care about his children?

"Me." Liu Sheng was speechless for a while, just buried his head in Fang Ruixuan's arms and wept.

In the next few days, Liu Sheng also lost the mood to go shopping outside, and stuck to Fang Ruixuan's back with the thought of missing a glance, forcing a smile on Fang Ruixuan during the day, and quietly wiping tears under the quilt at night.

Fang Ruixuan knew that he was sad, but didn't know what to say, so he hugged him and comforted him silently.

"Prince, how are you?" the old emperor asked him, showing the things Fang Ruixuan presented to the prince he had chosen in the early years.

"It's a genius." The prince said respectfully.

"Yes, it's a pity that the heart is not in the court." More than ten years earlier, the emperor might have made things difficult for this little man and given him an official position, but he also knew that he would not have a few years to live, so he didn't think about it anymore. It's better to make it difficult for others, but to save it for the favor of the new emperor.

He looked at his prince, who was in his thirties, with clear eyes, and he was in his prime, while he was getting old.In the early years, he was a good and filial boy, but now he started thinking about the chair under his buttocks.

It's just that the crown prince is in charge of the Ministry of War. He wants to implement these things in the army, but it is not easy to directly bypass him.

Three days later, the emperor once again announced Fang Ruixuan into the palace, and this time the prince was beside him.

"Fang Juren, I heard that you have selected someone to compile a dictionary."

"Yes, the selection has already been made. If the emperor has no orders, Cao Min would like to take the adults back to Baishui County earlier."

"Fang Juren is a genius, I really don't want to let you go." The emperor said with some regret, "However, it is still important to compile a dictionary. Can Fang Juren compile the dictionary within two years?" If it is delayed until his death, It is his, or his son's, that has sold the credit to scholars all over the world.

"Yes, Cao Min will live up to your appreciation." Fang Ruixuan said helplessly, hoping that after the thing is handed over in a while, your old man will not be in a hurry to kill me.

Fang Ruixuan knelt down and saluted the emperor on the dragon chair, "The grassroots have something important to report. The matter is of great importance, and it is related to the catastrophe of the grasslanders' genocide. Your Majesty, please step back."

The emperor asked Eunuch Li to take away the idlers in the study, but left the prince behind, "Speak."

"Caomin's family lives in Anping Village in Lingnan, but their ancestors are from the capital."

"It's the famous Fang family in the capital in the previous dynasty." The prince interjected.

"Exactly, the world was in chaos at that time, the ancestors had a high foresight, and sent the direct descendants of the family to escape the disaster, while the Fang family in the capital was destroyed due to the war, and my Lingnan family lingered on for more than a hundred years. Originally, we planned to reappear our ancestors in the grassroots generation. Glorious, but they don’t want to be exterminated.”

"This matter starts with my second uncle. My second uncle didn't like reading since he was a child, but he is very talented in those strange and obscene skills. During a trip, he accidentally rescued a pariah and got a formula for the previous dynasty's gunpowder."

When the emperor and prince heard the gunpowder formula, their eyes widened.The former dynasty of gunpowder has already appeared, but the formula was lost in the chaos of war. The Great Yan Dynasty has been researching it all these years, but the effect is not good. Unexpectedly, the prescription was transferred to the Fang family. The emperor looked at Fang Ruixuan with a complicated expression.

Fang Ruixuan didn't care about the thoughts of the two father and son, and continued, "I don't know how many barren mountains were blown up by my uncle. It took more than ten years to improve the gunpowder, which made it more lethal. In his later years, he used the gunpowder The ammunition was made, and the cannon was invented with friends, which can fire ammunition from a long distance, and it is a magic weapon for attacking cities."

Fang Ruixuan slipped, the emperor took a breath, but he didn't interrupt Fang Ruixuan's words.

"I was selected as a scholar when I was 11, and I was selected as a candidate when I was 15. My uncle wanted me to present these things to the emperor when I was in the spring, so as to make a bright future for my family. Report that our Fang family has treasures and food, and bring them to our Fang family to burn, kill and loot." Fang Ruixuan paused at this point.

"My uncle didn't want to hand over this treasure to the rebels and thieves, and let them use it to harm the people and oppose the court. I sent my cousin Ruifeng to the cellar under the ancestral hall to ignite the explosives buried near the house. The people When the chaos first broke out, my uncle had already foreseen the precarious situation, so he planted a hundred catties of explosives in half of the village in advance. When I rented a boat to escape, I would ignite the gunpowder and destroy all the research traces. Destroyed, but I didn’t think that it was also the gunpowder that preserved the last dignity and loyalty of our family, and the entire Anping Village was razed to the ground for a while, and the fire was raging.”

"Cousin Ruifeng hid in the cellar and escaped, but he was at the end of his battle. There are more than a hundred people in my Fang family, only my cousin's son, I, I, a brother who has been out of the fifth service, survived because of Mr. Gu Nian, There are no bones left for the rest of the people."

"Before my uncle died, he regretted that he had hurt the people of his family. He told my cousin to tell me to destroy this thing. It's just that this was forged by my uncle's painstaking efforts, and Ruixuan couldn't bear to do it like this. Although gunpowder is a double-edged sword, in the In the hands of people with bad intentions, it may harm the common people, but in the hands of a wise king like the Holy One, it can make our country safer and the people's lives better."

"Today, Caomin dedicates this thing that killed our Fang family to the emperor. I hope that the emperor can make good use of it. It will make our Dayan country stronger and the people can live a better life."

Fang Ruixuan took out two pieces of yellowed paper from his arms, and held them up with both hands in a posture of presenting them.

The original owner kept these two pieces of paper close to him.Fang Ruixuan discovered it when he first passed through, but he was powerless at the time and didn't know what to do with it, so he left it alone.

Later, even though he got to know several county magistrates, and invited Huang Lesong and Yao Lao to sit in charge after he was discharged from the hospital, Fang Ruixuan did not dare to entrust his wealth and life to others.Huang Lesong made it clear that he was unwilling to participate in the court affairs, so Fang Ruixuan naturally tactfully did not disturb him.As for the Yao family, although they are pure ministers, they don't stand in line, and they don't form cliques for personal gain, Fang Ruixuan doesn't believe that they have no ambition to climb up.

If he hadn't received Tang Yan's letter two days ago, he still couldn't make up his mind to tell the emperor all these things today.

It took a while for the emperor and the prince to recover from the shock. The prince took the blueprint from Fang Ruixuan and handed it to the emperor.The emperor carefully opened the paper. On top of these two sheets, one was an improved gunpowder prescription, and the other was a schematic diagram of a cannon, with the words "cannon in red" written beside it.

The emperor glanced at it, and couldn't stop, he was deeply attracted by it, and he was already imagining in his heart how to make good use of it, expand the territory and achieve a generation of hegemony.

"Okay, okay, with this thing, I think I can live for another 20 years." The emperor clapped his hands happily.

"Father, the emperor will grow stronger when he grows old, and he will live the same life as the heaven and the earth." The prince said respectfully.

The emperor waved his hand, not caring much, everyone wants to live forever, and how many people and emperors can really do it, "Fang Juren, you offer this thing, what do you want?" He knew that this person was a treasure, but he didn't expect it to be One such big baby.

"The grass-roots disobeyed their uncle's dying wishes, which is already unfilial. They dare not ask for anything, but only hope that their wives and children will live in peace with me."

"What do you take me for? Do you really think I'm the kind of emperor who disregards human lives!" The emperor was furious after hearing Fang Ruixuan's hidden meaning.

"Grassmen dare not." Fang Ruixuan hastily kowtowed to the emperor non-stop, such a secret is whether life or death is at the emperor's whim.

"That's enough, that's enough, I still want to keep your life, to give advice to my Dayan, and I haven't finished compiling the dictionary, don't worry, I still don't want to let you die." After Fang Ruixuan kowtowed ten times, the emperor finally felt satisfied Called stop.

"Your Majesty, you have already drained out the ink in Caomin's stomach, and even donated the last little thing." Fang Ruixuan said with a bitter face, it's a good thing not to kill himself.

"Tell me, what do you want." Since the emperor promised to give a reward, naturally he would not forget it.What's more, in order to protect such a thing, hundreds of members of the Fang family were buried together, and Fang Ruixuan risked his life to hand over this thing. Their loyal emperor still believed it.

"Well, Caomin really doesn't want anything. But Caomin has an unfeeling request, and I hope the emperor can agree. Caomin has three apprentices under his knees, one is already an official in the court, and the other two are also going to be officials. If they If you make a big mistake in the future, please forgive their lives." Fang Ruixuan begged.

The emperor was once again shocked by Fang Ruixuan's unreasonable playing of cards, "Fang Juren, you know what you gave up."

"Caomin knows that it's just that wealth and honor are not as precious as the life of the husband's son and apprentice in Caomin's heart. If you lose money, you can earn it again, but if you lose people, you can never get it back. The three disciples of Caomin were raised in Caomin since they were young. At your knees, in Cao Min's heart, they are no less important than Cao Min's own sons, and Cao Min dares to use these trivial contributions to save their lives when they make mistakes in the future."

Fang Ruixuan's sentence that people are gone, but they can never be found again, touched the softest thing in the emperor's heart.For a person with the most affection and nature, it's no wonder that a wandering wild crane like Huang Lesong would write a letter begging for his life to be spared.

"Fang Ju is a loving father." The emperor said, looking at the crown prince, "Prince, this promise is up to you."

"Father." The crown prince looked at the emperor in shock, and after calming down, he turned to Fang Ruixuan and said, "Fang Juren, I guarantee that as long as they don't collude with the enemy and betray the country, and don't plot rebellion, they will be spared if necessary. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Fang Ruixuan chatted with the emperor and the others about gunpowder for a while, and then left the palace.He also knew very little about the formula of gunpowder, and he had already given back the chemistry knowledge he learned in junior high school to the teacher. Sometimes Fang Ruixuan would admire the uncle who didn't have it in the original body. Get out the gunpowder.Sometimes I can't help resenting him for leaving him such a hot potato.

But fortunately, things are finally resolved.

After leaving the palace this time, he could finally go home.Fang Ruixuan bathed in the sunshine outside the palace, he felt so good to be able to live, he had never felt so good to be able to live.I can't wait to see my little husband in my heart, he must be very anxious.If I had known, I wouldn't have told him about it.

"Prince, I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes, thank you, father, my son will live up to my father's trust." The prince tremblingly took the two pieces of paper handed over by the emperor, feeling very excited.

With the emperor's words just now and these two things in his hand, he will be invincible in the battle for the throne.

Later, Emperor Xianzong, who had been on the throne for a long time, could not help but be grateful to Fang Ruixuan every time he thought of today's events.The timing of his appearance was too appropriate, and what he did was so magnanimous. The love for his apprentice's beloved son aroused the little fatherly heart that his father had left for him. His father was no longer around. The court suppressed him and began to truly delegate power to him.

If it wasn't for Fang Ruixuan, he might have really taken risks for that seat and stepped into a place of eternal doom.Fortunately, his father still took pity on him once in the end, and he didn't drive his son to a dead end, and he didn't go to the moment when father and son faced each other with swords.

"Old man, Master Juren has left the palace, and he will be back in a while." Shen Huiming's servants rushed to report to Liu Sheng. Since Fang Ruixuan entered the palace, Liu Sheng has been sitting in the courtyard without saying a word or eating. Those who don't drink, the three-foot white silk has already been prepared in the house.

"Really, tell me, my husband is really back." Liu Sheng said excitedly, but the tears in his eyes fell down involuntarily, covering his face, and startled the servant who came to report the news.

"Yes, back."

"Lead the way quickly, I'm going to find him." Liu Sheng hurriedly stood up without wiping the tears off his face, waving his hands and urging the servant to lead the way.

"Ah Sheng." When Liu Sheng was anxious to see Fang Ruixuan, a voice suddenly came, like a warm spring sun, melting a season of ice and snow.
