Chapter 124: The treasury is empty, take the grassland first(1/2)
The next day.
Imperial Study Room.
"Your Majesty, good news! Great news!"
Eunuch Feng's face was full of joy and he said to Emperor Hongxuan: "The Ministry of Industry has developed a mysterious cannon. After testing, it is extremely powerful and can be used by the military in warfare. Now, our country of Yun really has no fear of barbarians, Xiongnu and
A grassland tribe!"
"What mysterious cannon? What is that?" Emperor Hongxuan was puzzled.
"We, the human race, all have secret weapons that we are researching. The power of a single ammunition can blow up an entire mountain. With this mysterious cannon, we, the Yun Kingdom, will bid farewell to the era of cold weapons and become a super powerful country in one fell swoop!
”
Eunuch Feng was very excited.
"Who researched it?" Emperor Hongxuan asked.
Eunuch Feng said: "I heard from people in the Ministry of Industry that it was developed by Du Shilang of the Ministry of Industry and built under his supervision. Your Majesty, Du Shilang has made unparalleled achievements for our country of Yun!"<
/p>
"This is happening!"
Emperor Hongxuan was so excited that he paced back and forth in the imperial study.
"God bless Yunguo! God bless Yunguo!"
"What a mysterious cannon! Something that has not been researched by any other country was actually built by Du Ning and the Ministry of Industry!"
"It's great! It's great! We in the Yun Kingdom can finally feel proud!"
"Prairie people, you are finished! You just wait to be destroyed by the soldiers and horses of the Yun Kingdom!"
Emperor Hongxuan had been depressed these past few days due to the war between the Three Parties. Now that he learned that the Ministry of Industry had created a mysterious cannon, he felt extremely happy.
"Stop driving the Ministry of Industry, I'm going to see the mysterious cannon."
"Yes."
Eunuch Feng did not dare to neglect and quickly took Emperor Hongxuan to the Ministry of Industry.
…………
Ministry of War.
At this time, King Yan is meeting with King Xia here. King Xia wants to hand over the military power of the court to King Yan, and King Yan is mobilizing money and food for his troops in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"Good news! Good news!"
"His Royal Highness King Xia, His Highness King Yan, please go to the Ministry of Industry and have a look. The Ministry of Industry has created a mysterious cannon. We, Yun State, are saved!"
"Lord King Yan, if you have a mysterious cannon, your expedition to the Western Regions will definitely be a success!"
King Yan and King Xia looked at each other, not understanding what the Xuanji Cannon was for a while.
When the officials explained, the two princes were shocked.
"Fourth brother, let's go to the Ministry of Industry and see what this mysterious cannon looks like!"
"This is a big deal. Don't be careless. Let's go!"
The two of them immediately left their work and hurried to the Ministry of Industry to visit the mysterious cannon.
…………
Ministry of Punishment.
King Xian also learned the news that the Ministry of Industry had built a mysterious cannon, and he was stunned on the spot.
"What? The Ministry of Industry actually built the legendary cannon? Or was it designed by Du Ning? Is that thing really so powerful that it can directly blow up a mountain? Are you deceiving me?"
"How can I dare to deceive the prince? Today, all the officials from Zhongshu Pavilion went to the barren mountain. Not only was the top of the mountain gone, but a big hole was also blasted on the ground. It's still warm!"
"This...this...this is really great!"
The Xian King's first reaction was to be extremely happy. He hated Du Ning very much, but Du Ning's creation of the mysterious cannon was indeed a unique feat, which could greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Yun Kingdom's army.
In contrast, the wise king must be very happy for such a big event.
After all, as the royal family of the Yun Kingdom, they naturally do not want the Yun Kingdom to be divided by the barbarians, the Xiongnu and the grassland tribes.
"With the mysterious cannon, who are the barbarians? What are the Huns? What are the grassland tribes? To say they are a bunch of chickens and dogs is just to flatter them!"
"Mysterious artillery! Just put a hundred artillery arrays on the battlefield, and even an army of hundreds of thousands will surely collapse!"
"What a joy! My father's imperial conquest back then only defeated the barbarians and Huns, but did not completely deter them."
"Now that we have the mysterious cannon, let alone destroying a grassland tribe, even if we defeat the Huns and barbarians, it is no problem!"
"The Yun Kingdom is going to become stronger! It will soon become the most powerful country in the human race!"
The wise king was excited for a long time. After he calmed down, he began to worry about his throne and how to deal with Du Ning.
We are now under the rule of Emperor Hongxuan. Once the chaos among the three parties is quelled, such achievements will be enough for Emperor Hongxuan to sit firmly on the throne and the world will return to its heart.
And Du Ning's status in the court will surpass that of all officials.
The credit for creating the mysterious cannon is too great. It may not be enough to be crowned king, but it is definitely more than enough to be crowned marquis.
Once Duning becomes a marquis, he will have a status similar to that of a royal family and can have many privileges.
When the time comes, if the Xian Wang wants to continue targeting Du Ning, not to mention the civil and military officials, even the officials of the Xian Wang Party will not agree.
After making such great achievements, if you still do something against the hero, no one with any conscience can do it.
And there is King Yan.
King Yan led his troops to the Western Regions, and with the help of mysterious artillery, how difficult would it be to defeat the grassland tribes?
This is also a great achievement!
"I was fooled! I was fooled!"
"Fourth brother must have known that Du Ning could create a mysterious cannon, so he took the initiative to go to the Western Region to fight against the grassland people. I didn't have any insight. If I can win, this credit will definitely belong to me."
p>
King Xian regretted his mistake at this time. Only now did he understand the purpose of King Yan's request for help at that time, and only then did he understand why Du Ning was assigned to the Ministry of Industry.
All of this was planned long ago.
Du Ning went to the Ministry of Industry and built a mysterious cannon.
King Yan used mystical cannon to level the grassland and established military exploits.
The Xian King was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He prided himself on being a powerful man, but he was manipulated by Du Ning and King Yan. This was hard for the Xian King to accept.
This is simply a shame.
An official from the Ministry of Punishment said: "King Yan will definitely bring his mysterious cannon to the Western Regions. If he performs extraordinary feats, he will become a very powerful prince, and Emperor Xiaoyun's throne will be more stable. By then,
You will no longer be able to compete for the throne of Yun Kingdom."

The wise king fell silent, his eyes even colder.
"How about we interfere with it, destroy the secret cannon, and then put the blame on other officials?" Someone suggested cautiously.
"Presumptuous!"
The wise king immediately glared at the official, so frightened that the man hurriedly closed his mouth and did not dare to speak.
"The country is about to be destroyed. How much is a dragon's chair worth? Do you want me to fight to be the king of the country? Isn't it a joke?"
The wise king said solemnly: "Without the mysterious cannon, our Yun Kingdom may not be able to quell the three-party rebellion. Even if I force the young Yun Emperor to give up the throne, I will not be able to clean up the mess. I am a descendant of the royal family. If this is the overall situation
You can't even see it. It is simply a shame for the royal family. I would rather be alone than watch the Yun Kingdom being trampled by foreigners. The mysterious cannon is the weapon that the Yun Kingdom can use to turn defeat into victory. Who dares to use this crooked idea?
, even if you are my confidant, I will never tolerate you!"
"This official made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
The man hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake, breaking into a cold sweat.
"There are no outsiders here. I can confess to you some of my innermost thoughts. I am indeed willing to do whatever it takes to get the throne, and I have even done some shameful things that are disgraceful to the court. However, I am always a member of the royal family. If I give up for the sake of fighting for the throne,
The country of Yun has become an object of slaughter. How can I see my ancestors after my death?"
The wise king gritted his teeth and said: "If I can get the throne reasonably, I will definitely fight for it. If I can't win, I will also enjoy endless glory and wealth. Our Mu family is still in charge of the country of Yun. Who is it?
You can’t take it away either.”
"Your Majesty is wise." Officials from the Ministry of Justice hurriedly agreed.
"Hmph! I won't just give up. No matter what, I will still fight for it."
The wise king clenched his fists.
"Let's go! Go to the Ministry of Industry and see!"
"Yes."
