such as Yue Linyuan

Zhao Xiyue's father, Zhao Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War, had a crooked idea when he was managing armaments, and privately refined arms to achieve the purpose of profit. After this was discovered by Si Yuanting, Zhao Bin was secretly taken to the East Factory for a time, and soon Si Yuan Ting then discovered that Zhao Bin was actually an inventor, and the reason why he practiced arms privately was because he wanted to further develop the firearms of the Daheng Kingdom.

The control of firearms in the Daheng Kingdom is quite strict. Before the policy of emphasizing culture over military affairs was implemented, the development of firearms was far ahead of other neighboring small countries. The artillery alone was divided into light artillery and heavy artillery.As for light artillery, Tiger Squat Cannon, Tornado Cannon, Flying Cannon, etc. have been developed; for heavy artillery, there are General Cannon, Weiyuan Cannon, Gongrong Cannon, Qianzilei Cannon, Mielu Cannon, etc.Not only that, the explosive firearms of the Daheng Kingdom are also very prominent, not only landmines and sea mines, but also ten-thousand-person artillery and slow artillery.Originally, the firearms experts of the Daheng Kingdom were developing single-barreled guns. However, since the policy of emphasizing civility over military affairs began to be implemented, all firearms research and development have been suspended.

And Zhao Bin has been obsessed with the research and development of gunpowder since he was a child. Although he obeyed his father's order and had to study hard to obtain fame, he never gave up researching and learning the invention and manufacture of firearms in private. As a result, the research and development of firearms was once again promoted.

In fact, not long after the Battle of the Frontiers started, Zhao Bin once said that if he was allowed to re-promote the development of single-barreled guns, such as swords and guns, the Battle of the Frontiers might end sooner.This memorial passed through the hands of Si Yuanting, who was the chief writer at the time, and was submitted to the late emperor. Although it was not approved by the late emperor in the end, this memorial left a deep impression on Si Yuanting.

After Chu Yuelei ascended the throne, Zhao Bin once again asked to restart the firearms research and development plan, but this time he was suppressed by Si Yuanting.Si Yuanting did not disagree with Zhao Bin's opinion, but at that time, because of the long-term see-saw of the frontier war, although Chu Yuezhi's ability to command the troops was extremely high, there were continuous reports of success, but it is undeniable that the long-term war The pressure on the treasury is also great. Although explosive firearms also played a role that cannot be ignored in the frontier warfare, the size and weight of the artillery and the various problems caused by the long journey to the frontier, as well as the The difficulty of artillery transfer, artillery is not the most advantageous weapon in the long-term frontier war, and the use and supply of firearms are also big problems.If the sword and gun had been developed early, it would have played a great role in the frontier battle, but it was a pity that the sword and gun had not been successfully developed.At that time, Daheng Country had no extra manpower, material resources and financial resources to support the re-development of single-barreled guns.

And after Chu Yuezhi successfully built a frontier defense team and returned to the court, Zhao Bin also played again, but Si Yuanting still did not approve it, because at that time Si Yuanting was stepping up to deal with all kinds of problems accumulated by Daheng over the years. , but also to sort out the corruption hidden under the six departments and nine ministers and start planning for the future, and the research and development of firearms must be supervised by someone. After dealing with the problems that must be eradicated in the Daheng Kingdom, when the Daheng Kingdom is no longer crumbling, he can rest assured that after handing over the Daheng Kingdom to Chu Yuezhi, he believes that Chu Yuezhi will pay great attention to Zhao Bin's memorial.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zhao Bin would be so bold after becoming Minister of the Ministry of War. Seeing that his application was repeatedly rejected to use the position of minister, he had the function of direct management of ordnance, and secretly started to re-develop firearms .Research and development naturally requires manpower but more financial resources. Zhao Bin is not a corrupt official. He is more of an inventor obsessed with the invention of firearms. Therefore, after much deliberation, he finally decided to take the risk. In order to earn the funds needed for research and development.

It is an unforgivable crime for the dignified Minister of the Ministry of War to privately refine arms for profit, but Si Yuanting is not such a rigid person, and he can also see that Zhao Bin has no selfish intentions, so he finally recruited Zhao Bin into his camp, and used this to fight with Zhao Bin. Zhao Xiyue discussed the conditions, Zhao Xiyue must become his internal support when necessary, and help him launch the palace change.As for the corruption of Shi Huai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Si Yuanting has turned a blind eye for a long time. The funds on the bright side are used to support Zhao Bin's firearms research and development.

"Your Majesty thinks that I don't know that you have raised a dark army in addition to my Dongchang and Jinyiwei?" Si Yuanting looked at Chu Yuelei's increasingly distorted face, and finally felt the pleasure of revenge in his heart: "I did not notice it at first, but since Zhao Bin also became my minion, it is no longer difficult to know whether there are any private soldiers outside the establishment, and how many private soldiers there are. Your Majesty thinks that it is necessary to raise tens of thousands of people. Where does the military expenditure come from, and what about weapons and training? Your majesty has never commanded an army or stayed in a barracks, so it is inevitable that you are not clear about these things. Since your majesty has made your minister the most powerful person, You should know that both the Household Department and the Military Department are under the control of the minister, and it is absolutely impossible for His Majesty to make any decision to completely escape the minister's eyes and ears."

The huge anger made Chu Yuelei tremble all over. His eyes looked as if they were about to protrude from their sockets. He laughed out of breath, and his intermittent and hoarse laughter was harsh and harsh. Laughed out of breath for a while, and then said: "I know, Doctor Lu belongs to you, right? You are the one who wants me to become an eunuch. You are also the one who spread the recent rumors. It's not that you proposed to let the seventh brother guard the imperial tomb. I originally planned that since I never had the hearts of the people and the army, I would return the military power to the seventh brother first, and then let him kill you, a treacherous eunuch. You really think I can't see it. Come out, what do you think about the seventh brother? I will not let you do what you want, I will let you die at the hands of the seventh brother."

Cold eyes fell on Chu Yuezhi, Chu Yuelei smiled crookedly, pointed at Si Yuanting and said to Chu Yuezhi: "Seventh brother, don't you want King Qin to save you? This eunuch has been through two dynasties and two times. Betrayer, do you really dare to use him to trust him? Brother Huang does not blame you for using him to seize the throne, but I just want to remind you in good faith that the traitor is not available, you might as well kill him now. It's better than ending up like the emperor's brother in the future."

After a long silence, Chu Yuezhi met Chu Yuelei's gaze with deep eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is wrong, the rumors were spread by my younger brother. My younger brother wants to ask your majesty, do you plan to wait for my younger brother next?" After killing Si Jiu, Your Majesty told my younger brother that Si Jiu was my younger brother's servant, and that Si Jiu became a disabled eunuch to save my younger brother?"

His pupils shrank, and Chu Yuelei showed shock. He never thought that Chu Yuezhi would say this, and said in a trembling voice: "You, how could you...how could...impossible, this is impossible... ...your memory?!"

"Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors and the pity of the heavens, my younger brother has already recovered his memory by taking out the golden needle sealed behind his head. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid my younger brother would still be kept in the dark and played around by His Majesty." Chu Yuezhi stretched out his hand Holding Si Yuanting's hand, he said: "Your Majesty is really good at calculating, and he has seen the temperament of my younger brother. If you kill the person you love with your own hands, it will be unbearable and you will not be able to face yourself. It is impossible for my younger brother to accept it."

"The one you love?" Chu Yuelei repeated what Chu Yuezhi said once, as if he had never heard such a funny joke, and then he laughed wildly again. He laughed and cried, and said while laughing : "He is a eunuch, an inhumane cripple, and he has served me in bed and swallowed my things countless times. Do you love him? Don't you think it's dirty?! It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

The hands that Si Yuanting and Chu Yuezhi held were tightened suddenly, he clenched his teeth hard, the veins on his forehead stretched but he didn't say a word, he just turned his head to look at Chu Yuezhi, and then suppressed his emotions.

Chu Yuezhi didn't look at Si Yuanting, he still looked directly at Chu Yuelei on the dragon chair, and said, "I will never, never dislike Si Yuanting. More importantly, he has never been dirty, and in my heart , He is cleaner than everyone in the world. A vile, shameless, greedy and dirty person like you will never understand the relationship between me and Si Yuanting."

The strength in Si Yuanting's hand loosened up little by little when Chu Yuezhi spoke. He gazed at Chu Yuezhi with gentle eyes, and he would no longer be hurt by Chu Yuelei.

Looking at the two people standing under the high platform, Chu Yuelei finally figured out at this moment that from the very beginning, he never got everything he wanted, whether it was the Daheng Kingdom, the throne or Si Yuanting. , never belonged to him.

The last bit of strength was completely vented, and Chu Yuelei slumped on the dragon chair, but he said unwillingly as if struggling for death: "Seventh brother, when you sit on this dragon chair, you will understand that it is not the emperor's chair." Brother has to doubt you, but this position is inherently lonely, there will be no trustworthy people around you, one day, you will be like the emperor, doubt everyone and try to get rid of them, even your boss Nine is no exception."

The sound of weapons handing off and fighting outside the hall is gradually weakening.

Chu Yuezhi let go of Si Yuanting's hand, and he said to Si Yuanting: "Si Jiu, don't stop me, this is not only your hatred, but also the grievance between me and the emperor. You have already shouldered too much Now, this time, let me bear the consequences of all blood feuds."

After finishing speaking, Chu Yuezhi did not allow Si Yuanting to open his mouth to object, and walked up to the high platform step by step with his sword in hand, and came in front of Chu Yuelei.

He no longer bothered to refute what Chu Yuelei said, because he knew that no matter how much he said, Chu Yuelei would not understand.

Chu Yuelei lay paralyzed on the dragon chair and did not move. He raised his eyes to look at Chu Yuezhi, opened his mouth, and said, "Seventh brother, do you want to kill your brother with your own hands and bear the crime of mutilating your siblings?"

Chu Yuezhi smiled lightly, put the tip of his sword on Chu Yuelei's chest, and said in a very calm and soft voice: "Since I dare to usurp the throne, I am not afraid of what future generations will say. As for the crime of mutilating brothers and feet, it is the emperor's first brother." In the beginning, brother, it was just retaliation. You are not worthy or worthy of letting Si Jiu kill you, your blood is too dirty."

Chu Yuezhi said the last few words very lightly, but it made Chu Yuelei feel a bone-chilling chill.

Little by little, the tip of the sword sank into Chu Yuelei's chest, and Chu Yuezhi continued: "I have killed many people on the battlefield, so I know that as long as the lungs of the emperor are pierced, the emperor will be unable to speak. Slowly suffocated to death in pain, the process will not last for about a quarter of an hour. The younger brother may have been kind in the past, but who is not cruel among those who have been on the battlefield? Brother Huang, you should not provoke the younger brother, let alone Hurt Si Jiu."

Chu Yuelei has never seen Chu Yuezhi look like this before. His handsome face does not have the gentleness and indifference of the past, but it has a creepy frost and ferocity. Those peach blossom eyes are bottomless, revealing the hatred soaked Killing intent, the tall body exudes a suffocating sense of oppression.

Bloodshot eyes filled Chu Yuelei's eyes. He couldn't help shivering all over his body, and then he let out a few strange "clucks" from his throat. As Chu Yuezhi said, he was speechless.The hand hidden behind struggled to pull out the dagger that was intended to drag at least one person to be buried with him at the end, but before he could swing it out, the long sword in Chu Yuezhi's hand pierced his body fiercely .

The dagger slipped from Chu Yuelei's hand. Chu Yuezhi pulled out the long sword at a very slow speed deliberately tortured, and then took a step back. Chu Yuelei then twisted his body and slid off the golden dragon chair. His hands scratched the ground for a while, and finally grabbed Chu Yuezhi's ankle.

Condescendingly looking down at Chu Yuelei who was like an ant on the ground, and watching the blood seep slowly from under Chu Yuelei, Chu Yuezhi showed no trace of sorrow and pity, he kicked Chu Yuelei away and then stepped on the ground. Chu Yuelei pressed hard on the wound on his chest, put the long sword back into the scabbard, and said, "Don't worry, Brother Huang, after you die, my ministers will not attack your prince, and there will definitely be you in the imperial mausoleum." Clothes and coffin, as for your remnant body, it will be thrown into a mass grave to be fed to dogs just like your grandfather."

Turning around, Chu Yuezhi stopped looking at the so-called siblings whom he once trusted and relied on, but finally found that everything was just a lie. He stepped on the blood that was bleeding more and more, walked down the high platform and returned to Si Yuanting Beside him, he said calmly, "Si Jiu, it's all over, let's go out."

Si Yuanting didn't give the person on the high platform even more glances, his eyes were only filled with Chu Yuezhi, holding Chu Yuezhi's cold hand, he said: "Chu Qi, don't be afraid, the way forward, Si Yuanting Jiu will also walk with Chu Qi."

Chu Yuezhi's eyes sank, he looked outside the palace, saw the sky that was about to light up, this night was about to pass, and the sky in the palace would also change completely.

Holding Si Yuanting's hand back, Chu Yuezhi looked back into Si Yuanting's eyes, his eyes were piercing: "Si Yuanting, this world will be my world, and you are my property, I will do it if I usurp this one." It’s such a preparation to leave a bad smell for thousands of years, and I’ve worshiped heaven and earth with you to marry you as Si Yuanting’s wife. Don’t let me kill you even if you admit it. If you dare to die, I will let everyone in the palace do it for you. Bury with everyone, including me!"

He will be the supreme emperor of the Daheng Kingdom, so he is Zhen; but he is also Si Yuanting's wife, Si Jiu's Chu Qi, and this is a fact that will never change.

Kneeling down on one knee again, Si Yuanting raised his head to look up at his only monarch, and said, "My lord, please abide by the holy will."

The author says:

Finally came the day.Let the third child go offline in the second volume as scheduled.The whole world celebrates.After that is the final volume, Si Jiu and Chu Qi's road to reform.

As for why I have so many detailed explanations in the text, there are also quotations and discussions, because everything is echoed by the arrangement of details.It is also very important that in any case, as the author, I do not want to mislead the reader.The functions of the six ministries will change in each dynasty. As I said earlier, the reference is the background of the Ming Dynasty, so I built all the strategies under the Ming Dynasty system.I will not just write about it just because it is a fiction, including the plot of the envoys, the setting of the three serial cases, and the problems caused by such a system. Only when such a background exists can the storyline be established.I know it will be boring, but this is my responsibility as an author to write well.
