In the imperial court in front of Yangxin Hall, white lanterns have been lit.

Jia Qiang and Li Xuan were two unlucky people, but they knelt in the courtyard and allowed themselves to be watched by the royal family, princes, and civil and military ministers who came and went.

Regarding Li Xuan, the views of both the government and the public are basically unified.

Prince Weilai was favored by Emperor Long'an and Empress Yin because he was the youngest.

Insulated from great power, but a wealthy and idle king cannot escape.

As for Jia Qiang...

Different people's opinions vary greatly.

Some people think that he is a fool, relying on the shadow of his ancestors, and whenever he makes trouble, he always invites his ancestors to knock on the altar.

I don’t know how the spirits of Jia Yuan, Jia Yan, and Jia Daishan in heaven would feel when they saw that after their deaths, the gods became the magical weapons for the Jia family’s children to launch death attacks...

People who think this way look down on Jia Qiang.

But some people think that Jia Qiang is ruthless and acts at a young age without any regard for the consequences, so she is very dangerous.

Thinking back to the last time, just because Lin Ruhai's beloved daughter's carriage was burned, Jia Qiang first besieged Zhao Guogong's Mansion, then besieged Xiongwuhou Mansion, and finally even besieged the Prince's Mansion.

This kind of behavior is both crazy and dangerous, so it should be trapped as soon as possible.

Some people thought that Jia Qiang was very insidious and used the same recipe to trick the Zhao family of Dongsheng and the Song family of Ruixiang.

Not to mention the Dongsheng Zhao family, the Ruixiang Song family is really miserable!

Not to mention Fang Ziqian, who was defrauded of 300,000 taels of silver, he was suspected of defrauding the uncle of the country, using the uncle of the country as a knife, and using it to deceive Mr. Tian. This angered the Queen Mother Fengyan, who ordered the Song family to fulfill their promise and take out a fortune.

One million taels of silver come to my uncle.

Because of this matter, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Section Advocates almost went crazy, and they started impeaching Tian Fulai one by one.

However, the Queen Mother's temperament seemed to have changed drastically after the death of the Emperor. Tianfu went to the Shouxuan Hall of Jiuhua Palace and cried. The Tian family was scolded badly and he became a street rat. Everyone shouted for beatings.

As a result, the Queen Mother became more and more stubborn and had to force the Song family to bow their heads and take the money.

The Song family had no choice but to give Tian Fu one million taels of silver.

Stealing chickens is like losing rice. The misfortune of the Song family caused his old friends to have an even worse view of Jia Qiang.

But even so, no one thought that someone like Jia Qiang could gain a foothold in the court and become a big danger.

Because he has neither fame nor military exploits, he can reach where he is today only because of his luck.

Therefore, when he and Li Xuan got together, they both thought that people were divided into groups.

"Jia Qiang, how are you? Are the Firearms Camp so stubborn?"

Li Xuan whispered.

Jia Qiang's knees hurt when she knelt down. Seeing that this guy was still laughing, she wondered, "Your Majesty, your knees don't hurt when you kneel down?"

"quack!"

When Li Xuan heard this, he lowered his voice and laughed happily. He stretched out his hand and quietly pulled the front of the python robe forward, revealing a thick layer of "knee pads" at his knees...

Fuck your mother!

Jia Qiang's face turned dark, and she gritted her teeth and said, "When did you do it?"

Li Xuan almost died laughing. He was laughing so hard that he said: "Lu Feng always has it ready, and he tied it up secretly when he was leaving. Jia Qiang, are you smarter than me?"

"..."

Jia Qiang endured the pain and ignored this person.

But Li Xuan couldn't bear it anymore and whispered: "Have you thought about it for a while? I just said that you want to go, so I told you in advance so that you are prepared."

Jia Qiang asked curiously: "Is this where I want to go?"

Li Xuan said proudly: "Then it can't be said that I want to go. Besides, do you dare to answer first in front of my father? If the two of us turn against each other and tear each other up, it will be even worse, and we will probably get slapped.

Continue to kneel for two more hours... Okay, okay, okay, it's just a joke, you're going to fall out. Just say that I didn't drag you here, okay? You really don't know how to tease me at all.

By the way, you told Zhao Polu earlier that the West already has that kind of firearm called a gun? The one that is not afraid of wind and rain? "

Jia Qiang said: "The flintlock gun is Dayan's self-generated fire gun."

Hearing this, Li Xuan said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's it! Look, I'll take it this time! Remember to owe me a big favor, remember it!"

Just as Jia Qiang was about to reply, "I remember a hammer," she saw a servant from Huangmen coming out and asking the two of them to stand up. Emperor Long'an summoned them.

Jia Qiang got up with some difficulty, and looked aside, Li Xuan, a puppy, actually followed the same example. He stood up with a painful look on his face, made some exaggerated movements, and winked at Jia Qiang, obviously trying to tease him.

Jia Qiang couldn't understand how this prince could be as happy as a free-range Erha...

After entering the Yangxin Hall, the two of them knelt down obediently.

After reviewing the case, Emperor Long An looked at the two people who had exactly the same expressions of pain when they knelt down. He was speechless. One of them must be fake.

On the left side of His Highness are Li Jing, Prince of Baojun, Li Xiao, Prince of Kehuai, and Li Shi, Prince of Kerong. The three of them looked at these two with strange expressions and had different thoughts.

On the right side of His Highness are the foreman, the Minister of Military and Aircrafts, Jing Chaoyun, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhang Ji, and the Imperial Censor of Zuodu, Zhao Dongshan.

Emperor Long'an ignored the two of them, but said to Jing Chaoyun with a pleasant look: "Jing Aiqing, you and the two Aiqings should keep an eye on the matter of Beijing inspection. As for Han Bin, Zhang Gu, Dou Xian, Zuo Xiang, Li Han and others,

He has only been out of Beijing for half a year, how can he be recruited back to Beijing in such a hurry? Such important matters cannot be changed overnight.

Let me say it again, in my case, they are available ministers, and Aiqing and others are also the pillars of the country. They say that once the emperor comes, there are ministers, and many people are waiting for me, spreading rumors that I will bloodbath the former emperor and his old ministers. I

I just want to tell those who want to see the imperial court's jokes that they are purely wishful thinking! When purging old ministers is not internal strife? What is lost is the fortune of the country! I will never do such a thing.

Of course, you are good people, especially Jing Aiqing. Your moral conduct is worthy of setting an example for all officials! But it is undeniable that there are some ministers who are not like you. Not to mention being ministers, you are not even worthy of being a human being.

You are all veterans. I don’t need to say more. You yourself know who those people are and what they are like.

So this time in Beijing, you must continue to do it in a down-to-earth manner, and don’t be afraid of offending others, let alone what kind of background those people have behind them, I am your background!”

When Jing Chaoyun, Zhang Ji, and Zhao Dongshan heard this, they all bowed to accept their orders, and then left with solemn expressions.

After the three court giants left, Emperor Long'an stared at the direction in which they left. After staring for a moment, he asked Li Jing, Li Xiao and Li Shi, "What do you think?"

Li Jing's appearance resembled that of Emperor Long'an, and he also had a calm temperament. He said solemnly: "Use the hands of Jingchu's old ministers to cleanse the scum among Jingchu's old ministers, and also let Jing Chaoyun and others dig their own foundations. My father is wise."

Li Xiaoze frowned and said: "I believe that my father's policy can greatly reduce the power of Jingchu's old ministers and attack their unbridled arrogance."

Li Shi said with a smile on his face: "I believe that what the father said is what he did, and it is also where the holy heart lies. Aren't Jingchu's old ministers my father's ministers? As long as we eliminate the ignorant and corrupt among Jingchu's old ministers

Generations, and the rest are also the elite ministers of the country. With them here, and waiting for the return of famous ministers such as Han Bin and Li Han, that will be the time when the court will truly be prosperous and the dynasty will be filled with great sages. The sons and ministers will be their fathers and emperors.

Congratulations!"

When Emperor Long'an heard this, his frown never relaxed. Finally, he glanced at Li Xuan and Jia Qiang, who had their heads lowered, and asked: "Li Xuan, Jia Qiang, what do you two think?"

"ah?"

Suddenly being called by name, the two of them didn't check for a moment and looked up at Emperor Long'an in confusion.

Emperor Long'an was furious when he saw this, and sternly rebuked: A prince and a county king, and a lord of the country and Wu, are doing whatever they want during the national mourning! Who asked you to go to the firearms camp to take a blunderbuss to shoot birds? Two wastes, if you can't hit a bird, just

Asking people to catch chickens from other people’s homes for your entertainment? Ridiculous, bastard!”

After finally learning about the two men's activities, Li Jing, Li Xiao and Li Shi all felt a little bit toothache.

Li Xiao, the king of Kehuai County, was the first to speak and advised: "Father, please calm down, the dragon body is important. As for the fifth brother... Jia Qiang, how can you lead the prince to do such a thing?"

Jia Qiang twitched the corners of her lips, looked at Li Xiao and said, "How did the prince know that I brought him here?"

He thought he had never offended the third prince, but as he recalled it, it seemed that when the two met for the first time, the third prince Li Xiao didn't treat him very well.

Is there something wrong with this person?

Seeing that Jia Qiang actually dared to talk back, Li Xiao frowned and said, "Although my fifth brother is greedy and stubborn, I haven't been to the firearms camp for many years. Even if you didn't bring it, today's incident has nothing to do with you. It's probably because of you."

Come on. Do you still dare to deny it?"

"Third brother, don't blame the good guy. My brother really wanted to go to the firearms camp to see something, so he asked Jia Qiang to go with him..."

Li Xuan hurriedly defended Jia Qiang.

Li Xiao asked: "Why do you want to go to the firearms camp today?"

Li Xuan coughed twice and said with a smile: "That's it. I went there today because of serious business. I heard Jia Qiang say..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiao sneered and said, "Are you saying it's not because of him?"

Li Xuan was stunned when he heard the words. He also found out why this third brother couldn't deal with Jia Qiang?

For what?

After Jia Qiang glanced at Li Xiao indifferently, she said to Emperor Long'an: "Your Majesty, it is indeed because of my words that Prince Kehe and I went to the Firearms Camp with me to observe the firearms and test them all afternoon...

"

Emperor Long'an raised his eyebrows and reminded: "In front of me, you must understand some things before you say them. Otherwise, you will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor and you will regret it."

Jia Qiang shook his head and said: "How dare I deceive you? I also said this to General Zhao Polu today. I said that I heard that Western firearms have far surpassed those of Dayan. They invented a new type of firearm, which is not used at all."

Worrying about the impact of snow and rain, firearms can still be fired. Moreover, the accuracy is higher. In addition, Xiyi's artillery can shoot farther than Dayan's artillery, and the shots are accurate and the shells are heavier. They also installed the artillery on

On ships at sea, relying on the strength of the ship and the sharpness of the cannons and the sharpness of the flintlock guns, countless countries have been destroyed.
