Chapter 269 Jaw dropped
Chapter 269 Jaw dropped
It is obvious that although Dai Zi was worried that Yinzhen would be disliked by the emperor because he was too radical, he agreed very much with what he said.
The future battlefield will be a contest of firearms.
We should conduct in-depth and detailed research and strive to produce firearms that are more powerful, more lethal, more accurate in striking, and more convenient to carry.
Only in this way can we ensure that as long as the Qing Dynasty does not easily provoke a war, no country or region will dare to easily provoke a war against the Qing Dynasty.
Ah.
Huang Luzhuang sneered: "It's rare that Lord Dai can come up with this idea."
Hey, isn't this just bringing up something that is not relevant?
Yinxuan's chubby face was nervous, and he was ready to act as a mediator anytime and anywhere. He was afraid that the two masters would learn from Kangxi's father and Ma Qi and fight him on the spot.
Dai Zi was naturally unhappy when his shortcomings were exposed in front of him.
But he is not without emotional intelligence, but he is also aware that he needs help from others!
So not only did he not take it as an offense, he even laughed at himself: "Hahaha, don't talk about you, I myself also never expected this! Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Mr. Huang, after I developed the chain musket, I had a dream at night, and I dreamed that a golden-armored god said to me, if this kind of killing weapon spreads to the world, your descendants will probably have no survivors."
"I was so scared that I even gave up the idea of presenting the treasure to the emperor. Even when I was harmed by the traitors and exiled to Liaodong, I didn't think of presenting the map to protect myself. I am also a stubborn old man. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind and benevolent and still remembers me. He specially redressed my injustice, sent people to take me back to the capital, properly arranged my family and carefully counseled me. Only then did I get rid of the depression in my heart!"
The other party has been so humble, what else can Huang Luzhuang do?
I can only comfort you by saying that this is finally the end of the world!
As a result, he was followed and forced to walk around his research institute, paying special attention to the steam engine that was still under research.
After hearing about how this thing would revolutionize the world if successfully researched, Dai Zi suddenly had an inspiration.
The newly developed giant detachable cannon developed by the prince's apprentice has strong striking power, but it is quite limited by the site. If it encounters complex terrain such as mountains and plateaus, just transporting the cannon is a huge project.
As a result, good firearms have become useless and cannot be used in more situations.
But if combined with this steam engine...
Seeing that his smile was becoming increasingly vulgar, Yinxuan, as his disciple, would definitely say a few words of concern!
Then, he was completely shocked: "Sir, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly. Could you please say it again?"
In front of this distinguished disciple of the prince, Dai Zi was still able to control his bad temper.
No matter how frowned he was, he would still express his thoughts seriously.
Click!
Because he used too much force, the Eighteenth Prince's jaw was dislocated.
When the news reached the palace, Kangxi dropped the pen in his hand. He immediately ignored the memorials and government affairs and rushed to the prince's residence with his court robes.
We must make sure that Xiao Fuxing is safe as soon as possible!
After sending the man back, Dai Zi and Huang Luzhuang knelt in the courtyard of the prince's residence and hurriedly paid their respects. As a result, they both received sharp eyes from the emperor: "How can I be at peace when Eighteen has been implicated by you two?"
The unlucky pair apologized with bitter faces, feeling extremely helpless.
Who could have thought it could be that small?
Ugh!
Dai Zi sighed deeply, both for the prince's disciple and for himself. According to the anger of the emperor and the prince, he would be sent to Yaksa or even further north, right?
Pity.
He had just resumed his research on firearms, which he had only recently begun, but he was afraid that it would end in vain again.
Huang Luzhuang, who was implicated, also gave him a glare when he saw this: "So you are not only imaginative, but also worry about nothing?"
"I……"
"What do you mean? I suggest you keep your heart at ease. The Eighteenth Prince cherishes talents the most. He will never send you thousands of miles away because of some unexpected events."
Even if the emperor was interested, the Eighteenth Prince would have to throw a tantrum to make him change his mind.
Mr. Huang, who has taken on countless responsibilities, has full confidence in his disciples.
In fact, it was just as he thought.
Seeing Kangxi and the prince coming together, he hurriedly struggled to get down and pay his respects.
As soon as he stood up, Kangxi pushed him back: "It's already this hour, why are you still talking about these empty formalities? Just take a good rest and wear the belt for a few days to avoid dislocating it again."
"Don't laugh too loudly these few days, and avoid opening your mouth too wide when talking. Eat softer meals to prevent excessive laughing or chewing that may cause dislocation again or even habitual dislocation."
Yinzhen nodded bitterly: [I am so entangled, how can I say anything? I can't say anything at all! But Kangxi father is really amazing, he even knows how to take care of a dislocated jaw and how to prevent recurrence. Could it be that he also... when he was a child?]
[Hehehe.]
Hearing that his inner voice was still so active, Kangxi and the Crown Prince felt relieved.
I started to become interested in understanding what happened.
Since Yinzhen was not in a convenient position, he asked his personal eunuch Xiao Luzi to report back one by one.
Ah this...
Xiao Luzi looked at his master with some hesitation: If I don't tell the truth when the emperor asks me questions, I will be punished for deceiving the emperor, right? This deceiving the emperor is punishable by death, right? But if I tell the truth, the two old gentlemen outside will be dead, right?
Yinzhen couldn't bear to embarrass his trusted young eunuch, so he quickly pulled Kangxi's dragon robe sleeve and acted coquettishly.
And he wrote on the palm of his hand: Khan Ama, please don’t make things difficult for Xiao Luzi. If you want to know anything, your son will write it to you.
"What do you want to know?" Kangxi frowned. "Of course I want to know why I just disappeared. How did my son come back injured?"
Yinzhen motioned for Xiaoluzi to fetch paper and pen, and then wrote in a flamboyant manner: "Well, there are many reasons, but the most important one is that I am shocked by the kindness, ability to use people, and foresight of the second prince..."
Not only did he write out more than a dozen idioms of praise, he also said that his small decision added a significant chapter to the history of the development of firearms in the Qing Dynasty.
True merits are felt in the present and will benefit future generations.
Kangxi scoffed at him as a little flatterer, so Yinzhen wrote on the paper in a flamboyant manner: My son has always been down-to-earth and sincere, and everyone in the Qing Dynasty knows it.
Every thought and every word comes from the heart.
[Humph, Kangxi father blindly pursued the so-called archery and horse riding left by our ancestors, hiding the precious sword in the box and the pearl in the dark, and just ignored Mr. Dai, a peerless talent. Fortunately, the second prince is not as short-sighted as you, otherwise...]
Kangxi, who was suddenly criticized again, said:...
I feel annoyed and angry, but I have no way to vent.
I could only tap the table lightly to ask him to stay on topic and speak carefully. What on earth had happened? Why were Dai Zi and Huang Luzhuang kneeling outside the door to plead guilty?
