The morning sun penetrated into the room, and Zhu Chun stared at the bed rails in a daze with his eyes open. He had been awake for a long time, but...damn it, he couldn't bear to face this cruel fact.

What does it feel like to be wet in the bedding? ? ?He was very clear.Such a thing is no big deal for a 17-year-old man with high physical needs.But...but...the key is that the person and those things in the dream last night made him absolutely absolutely unacceptable!

damn it!It's all because Zhu Gui's unlearned things brought him to such a place!Also, why does that damned Lan Qing sound so much like Xia Ziling!Also, why did Xia Ziling come to him last night!Also, why did that damn Guanfubao find a woman to seduce him, causing him to drag Xia Ziling into the water to have a bath together in a moment of passion!In short, all of this is the fault of those people, and has nothing to do with him!

Yes, that's the way it is!Having figured it out, the king of Shu got up angrily and ordered his servants to take the bedding and burn it.

During the martial arts parade this morning, it was the turn of the kings to compete in martial arts. Zhu Gui found that his brother was crazy and insisted on fighting with him.

Zhu Gui was no longer a child at this age in the Ming Dynasty, but after being beaten up by his own brother, he ended up lying on the ground like a child and said, "I want to tell my concubine that you bullied me!"

Zhu Chun patted the dusty clothes, and finally felt a little relieved, and lazily said "Go!", and then walked away.

Xia Ziling found that the king of Shu has been suffering from convulsions recently. Whenever he went to find him, he was always ready to go out. Even at night, when he clearly saw that he had finished bathing and changing clothes, as soon as he walked in, he would "hula" pull a cloak and put it on, saying "The king is preparing to go out."

"..." Xia Ziling was speechless. It seemed that the King of Shu didn't want to see him recently.He simply had a lot of things to do, so he didn't bother to eat the closed doors.

"Ten Strategies for Governing Shu" he originally wanted to discuss with Zhu Chun before revising it, but now he had to let it go, so Xia Ziling freed up time to do what he had long wanted to do—improving fire pistol.

On this day, Xia Ziling came to Wenzhao Pavilion where the six departments work.The inside of the cabinet was extremely deserted, and occasionally one or two officials on duty were just sitting and yawning. Anyway, the left-behind officials in the Central Capital were just decorations, and no one cared about whether they did something or not.

Xia Ziling turned around a corridor and went directly to the duty room of the Ministry of Industry. Looking inside, he saw Zhou Tingduan sitting behind the table reading a book.

"Brother Ziyu."

Zhou Ting looked up and said angrily, "Why?"

"I have something, and I want to ask Brother Ziyu for help."

Regarding Xia Ziling's thick skin, Zhou Ting was a little speechless.Two days ago, this guy asked him to discuss Yuan history with the king of Shu, and he just kicked him away with a swearing, and he joined him again not long after.

However, thick-skinned people don't care about so much, Xia Ziling went on to say: "Recently, I have been studying how to improve the method of firecrackers, and I have some experience. Brother Ziyu, you happen to be in charge of the Ministry of Industry's Yuhengqing Bureau. I would like to ask you to help arrange some craftsmen to discuss together."

"..." Zhou Ting squinted his eyes to examine Xia Ziling for a moment, and then said: "You are so active in doing this, don't you want to help the king of Shu to make meritorious deeds and win the sacred heart?"

Xia Ziling was noncommittal.Zhou Ting is a smart man, he saw his purpose clearly from the very beginning.

Seeing Xia Ziling acquiescing, Zhou Ting hummed, and said, "The crown prince is still alive. Xia Ziling, don't you think it violates the way of loyalty to the king when you are helping the vassal king openly and secretly?"

Xia Ziling smiled, "What is the way of being loyal to the emperor? Then if the prince is gone, which prince do you think is worthy of the big responsibility?"

This question was so bold, Zhou Ting took a deep breath, and hurriedly looked outside the door. Fortunately, there were not many people working here, and some of them were old-eyed, deaf and hard-of-hearing, so they would not notice them at all.

"This kind of thing is up to the emperor to decide, and we don't allow you and me to talk about it."

"Then I would like to discuss with you the way of loyalty to the emperor that you mentioned just now." Xia Ziling paused, "The so-called loyalty to the emperor by scholars, I think the one who is loyal to the country, the community and the people, you and I both know, Prince Although you are excellent, but your health is not good, it is very difficult to inherit the grand ceremony, under such circumstances, if the emperor passes on to an inappropriate person, do you still want to be loyal?"

Zhou Ting suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles, breaking out in a cold sweat.This Xia Ziling, openly discussing this kind of topic with himself is simply outrageous, and if people listen to it, at least they want to be from the Yi tribe.

"Your majesty is wise, how can you tell someone who is inappropriate!" Although everyone knew that the crown prince was in poor health, Emperor Hongwu looked very strong, so everyone would not worry about what happened to him a hundred years later.

"The emperor is sage, but he is also a human being. People are always influenced by emotions and desires. Sometimes what they do is not so sage." Facts have proved that Emperor Hongwu left so many sons unused and passed on the throne to Zhu Yunqi. It's not very wise.

"..." Zhou Ting stood up "squeakingly", feeling an urge to close the door.It is enough to criticize the Holy Majesty and punish the Nine Clans.

"However, I didn't come here today to discuss with you which prince's succession ceremony. I just want you to help me improve the firecracker. If this method is feasible, the range of the firecracker can be increased from the current 30 meters If it is 200 meters away, whether it is to flatten Beiyuan or deal with the powerful enemies that will come in the future, Daming will be even more powerful."

"I am a person who has been on the battlefield, and I know how important excellent equipment is to protect the lives of soldiers. No matter who proposes this method, it is a matter of merit for the country and the benefit of the people. If you are really a scholar with the world in mind, Why don't you help me?"

Xia Ziling's words were aggressive, and Zhou Ting lost his mind for a moment with his dark eyes. What he said seemed to make sense?No matter what his purpose is, doing things that are beneficial to the Ming Dynasty is the way to be an official.

Xia Ziling saw that Zhou Ting was a little shaken, so he softened and said, "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. I just want to find something for you to do because you are bored here. If you are going to end up doing nothing like this Zhongdu, you can ignore me."

Xia Ziling turned around after finishing speaking, and slowly prepared to walk out of the guard room.

"Wait...well, I can help you with this matter. Tomorrow, I will call together a group of craftsmen from the Yu Heng Qing Officials Department to discuss with you how to improve the method of firecrackers." Zhou Ting paused, "It's just that the Ministry of Industry level, you should not expect too much."

Xia Ziling turned around and smiled, "Thank you."
