Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 91 New Weapons and Big Devil

Zhao Kuangyin led all the civil and military officials out of the palace and came to the place. His head was buzzing when he saw the scene in front of him.

The wall of the originally luxurious Rongguo Duke's mansion was blown to pieces. Countless young ladies in ragged clothes and even scars were huddled together and crying. Wang Jixun himself was holding two hammers and was confronting Zhang Qiong. An obvious The confused young man was crying with tears in his eyes.

Who is Zhao Dezhao if not his biological son?
"Zhao'er? Are you back? When did you come back? Where's mother? What on earth is going on? What happened? Where did these women come from?"

Zhao Dezhao heard this and looked at Zhao Kuangyin.

I cried out loud.

"Father~, I, I don't know anything. It was my third uncle who asked me to do it. It's so scary, it's really so scary~"

Zhao Kuangyin was furious and glared at Zhao Guangmei fiercely: "What the hell is going on! What tricks are you kidding? Tell me! If you don't tell me, I will beat you!"

After hearing this, Zhao Guangmei hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Brother, I really don't do it. It's like this. This year, haven't my mother and her eldest nephew been in the Guanzhong area? On the surface, they are digging saltpeter. In fact, they are digging saltpeter." On the other hand, they are developing a secret weapon."

"Secret weapon?"

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin looked at the ruins of Duke Rong's mansion and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Is it...gunpowder?"

At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, gunpowder had actually entered the battlefield, but it was still very weak and not very practical. It was usually rockets and fireballs. However, even so, there were records of blowing up city gates. Zhao Kuangyin was a military officer. Born, naturally no stranger to this.

"Brother, you know clearly that it is gunpowder, but I have made a little improvement. Of course, the details are all done by my mother and assistant Zhao'er. Isn't he back? We are thinking of giving you a surprise. , test the specific effect of this thing. Look, brother, the effect seems to be very good. Half of the Rongguo Duke's mansion has been blown up. Brother, you must reward Zhao'er generously. I think, just with this This gunpowder incident is enough for Zhaoer to be crowned king."

Zhao Kuangyin looked confused.

"This power... is really scary. How much gunpowder did you use?"

Then Zhao Dezhao took out two explosive packs and cried, "I just used these two. Just these two. My third uncle asked me to match them. I really didn't know these things could be so big." Power, I, I didn’t mean to blow up my uncle.”

When Zhao Guangmei saw this, he went up and kicked Zhao Dezhao in the butt: "You are stupid, what are you trying to push on me about making great achievements? Didn't you do this saltpeter purification yourself?"

"I……"

Zhao Kuangyin was shocked and grabbed the explosive pack: "Just, just two gadgets? How can such two gadgets be so powerful? How is this possible? Then if there are ten or twenty, how can it be? Isn’t it possible that even the strongest city wall can be blown down?”

Seeing this, Zhang Qiong quickly stepped forward to grab the explosive pack again: "Guan, be careful, this thing is dangerous."

"Get up for me."

Then he looked at Zhao Guangmei with a shocked look on his face: "Is this really just ordinary gunpowder? How did you do it?"

"Brother, this is a military secret. Let's talk about it in private later."

"Oh, yes, yes, in private, in private, that...that's not right, then why was it bombed in the Rongguo Duke's Mansion? What, what's going on?" Wang Jixun came forward crying. He knelt down and said: "Brother-in-law, you have to make the decision for me! I just got off duty today and didn't do anything. With a bang, my house was gone. This Zhang Qiong, he actually dared to lead his troops to surround me." , Brother-in-law~, I am your brother-in-law, they, they bully me~"

Zhao Kuangyin became more and more confused, and the joy in his heart could not help but cool down a bit. He first looked at Zhao Dezhao, and saw that he looked like he had lost his soul. Then he looked at Zhao Guangmei, and saw that Zhao Guangmei was looking at the sky sideways, as if he was looking at the sky. Count the birds in the sky.

Finally, he looked at Zhang Qiong and said, "How did you get involved? If it was to test the power of this new gunpowder, why did you have to blow up the Rongguo Duke's mansion?"

Zhang Qiong thought for a while and said: "Ordinarily, I should say that I did it unintentionally because I didn't understand the power of this gunpowder and thought of just finding a place to try it. I didn't expect that it would blow up the Rongguo Duke's palace, but... …But I dare not deceive the officials. I did it on purpose. I deliberately chose the location here. This move has nothing to do with the eldest prince. I still ask the officials to punish me."

"Oh~, it has nothing to do with Zhao'er, so it's still related to Lao San, right?"

Zhang Qiong lowered his head in acquiescence.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guangmei glared at Zhang Qiong fiercely.

"Brother, why don't you ask these women what's going on?"

"Ok?"

Only then did Zhao Kuangyin notice these women again, and saw that they were crying and crying, and they all looked very miserable.

Zhao Guangmei said: "If you have any grievances, why don't you tell the officials quickly? Why do you cry when you have such a good opportunity? My eldest brother has always been fair and selfless in his work. Could it be that Wang Jixun is his brother-in-law, so he will tolerate and indulge in it?"

Hearing this, a group of women came forward and started crying. Then, all the civil and military officials were shocked and stunned in front of them.

It turned out that these women were all slaves raised by Wang Jixun, and the source of them was that some were bought, and some were simply snatched from the street.

To be honest, buying some female slaves or even robbing civilian girls was not a big deal in the early Song Dynasty. This Wang Jixun was Zhao Kuangyin's brother-in-law and the younger brother of the current queen, who was entrusted by Zhao Kuangyin. Zhongren was responsible for preparing the establishment of the Guards Ma Junsi, which meant that he was responsible for dividing the Guards Division into two, and the two divisions became three yamen.

This is almost the most important thing in the imperial army. Wang Jixun, who is responsible for this matter, is actually the most powerful figure among the military generals in the dynasty after Shi Shouxin and others retired. Who dares to control him.

But the problem is that Wang Jixun took the woman home not just for fun, but because he liked to use a knife to cut off the meat piece by piece and eat it.

And he also likes to whip with a whip, whipping him half to death every time. If he accidentally whips him to death, he throws it into the pot and boils it.

Li Chuyun, deputy envoy to the privy council, can be said to have the same purpose but different approaches.

In fact, he is not as good as Li Chuyun. Li Chuyun eats people to frighten the monarchs and ministers of Hunan.

Zhao Kuangyin felt like his head was buzzing and he couldn't stand still.

First it was Li Chuyun, then Wang Jixun. Are all our generals in the Song Dynasty devils? !
"Brother, I think that for what Wang Jixun did, the people will not be outraged if he does not kill him, and the military discipline will not be corrected if he does not kill him. I would also like to ask my eldest brother to give an order to behead him immediately in public to rectify the world."

　I’m really convinced, everything is harmonious. This historical record is not my original creation, but it’s harmonious for me. In short, Wang Jixun and Li Chuyun are the same, they are both devils. This is the reason why the protagonist wants to mess with him.
