How dare Han Chong say no, unless he wants to die.

What's more, Zhao Chen asked him to take care of Qianzhou, which obviously intended to develop Han Chong into his own person.

Being able to get to the mountain of King Han is a beautiful thing that Han Chong never dared to think of in his lifetime.

This means that as long as Han Chong is not stupid in the future, he will be protected by the King of Han. Will Han Chong hesitate to this matter?

He quickly bowed and fell to Zhao Chen: "I am willing to be heartbroken and obey your order!"

...

"Your Majesty, there is a rumor in Chang'an City today that His Highness the King of Han was in danger in Qianzhou. The governor of Qianzhou, Yan Wenzheng, got gunpowder from nowhere. A month ago, the gunpowder exploded and affected hundreds of people in Qianzhou."

"His Highness of the King of Han personally handled this matter and took down all the criminals including Yan Wenzheng." In the Ganlu Hall, the emperor was dealing with the memorial.

The eunuch on the side talked about the rumors about Chang'an City today.

It is strange to talk about this rumor. Within a day, it was spread everywhere, and even the palace heard about it.

Gunpowder appeared in Qianzhou and exploded, affecting hundreds of people in Qianzhou.

These words made the emperor frown slightly, put down the pen in his hand, and the emperor looked at the eunuch beside him with a cold look: "What other rumors are there? Let me tell you all."

The little eunuch quickly lowered his head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I also heard that someone had leaked gunpowder, or that someone was planning to use gunpowder to do something shameful."

"Some people say that if someone hadn't been preparing for big moves, why would gunpowder appear in remote Qianzhou?"

"Gunpowder has always been the secret of the court. If it weren't for those who are interested, it would be impossible to get the method of making gunpowder."

"Some people also said that someone is going to deal with King Han..."

"Bang!"

The emperor slapped the table suddenly and interrupted the eunuch's remarks.

The little eunuch quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word, let alone look up.

The emperor was very angry.

How important was gunpowder to the Tang Dynasty?

If it weren't for gunpowder, the border of the Tang Dynasty would have been flattened by the Tubo army.

Now that Tubo has been expelled, the gunpowder matter can be leaked.

You know, Zhao Chen has always arranged someone to do gunpowder, and even the emperor, he rarely has the opportunity to see the gunpowder production workshop.

But, gunpowder appeared in Qianzhou and an explosion occurred.

The emperor naturally didn't believe that this was done by Zhao Chen.

But since it was not done by Zhao Chen, the person who did this obviously did not have a good intention.

What does this person behind the scenes want to do?

To deal with Zhao Chen, or to prepare to deal with his Tang Dynasty?

No matter which one it is, it is not something that the emperor, as a person.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and peaceful, how could it be that as the emperor, I could make a piece of rat shit ruin my own pot of porridge?

"Let Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng come to see me immediately!" The emperor immediately issued an order to let Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng meet.

The little eunuch hurriedly withdrew, and there was already a cold sweat behind him.

...

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng came to Ganlu Palace and saw a gloomy face when they saw them.

On the way, they had already learned the reason for the emperor's anger.

To be honest, the leak of gunpowder made both of them extremely angry.

Such a powerful weapon of the country was actually wandering outside. If it was stolen by people from other countries, it would definitely become their powerful weapon against the Tang Dynasty in the future.

This is extremely dangerous.

The two of them also knew that the emperor was so eager to let them come over, so he must be prepared to let them investigate the matter.

"My minister Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng pays homage to Your Majesty." The two bowed and saluted the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand and signaled the two to get up.

As soon as the two stood up, they heard the emperor say, "I guess you know why I summoned you. The matter of gunpowder is of great importance. I will never allow anyone to leak gunpowder."

"You two, be sure to find the person who leaked the gunpowder as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, this matter is inappropriate!" As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Fang Xuanling immediately spoke up against it.

While this surprised the emperor, he felt annoyed again.

"Isn't it?" The emperor suppressed his anger: "Why?"

"Your Majesty, gunpowder leak is of great importance. If you investigate it with great momentum, I think someone will be silenced soon."

"If someone is silenced, how can we find out the person behind the scenes?"

"I think that Your Majesty should not ask someone to investigate this matter now, but should give a decree, saying that the leak of gunpowder is fake and a rumor."

"In this way, the people behind the scenes will definitely not easily destroy the population."

"That person will continue to make gunpowder, which gives us a chance to investigate the case." Fang Xuanling explained his thoughts to the emperor.

But the emperor was obviously not satisfied with this matter.

The emperor was a little worried. What should he do if the person behind the scenes could not be found for a long time?

Once gunpowder is leaked to other countries, it will be a huge disaster for the Tang Dynasty.

The absolute combat power that the Tang Dynasty had finally maintained would disappear in an instant, and this was not what the emperor was willing to see.

The emperor now wants to catch the person who leaked the gunpowder, and cut him alive with one knife.

"Your Majesty, I think what the Fang Xiang said is reasonable. This matter should not be investigated with great fanfare. Instead, it should make the man think that we do not believe that this happened."

"Of course, he will definitely be dormant for a while, but he will still come out to play later. During this period, we only need to check the people in the gunpowder making workshop."

"When the person behind the scenes is exposed, it is time for us to take people."

"And to say something ugly, if the gunpowder was leaked, it would have been leaked long ago. It has been a long time since Wei Zheng slowly advised the emperor.

The emperor himself also knew this.

It was just a headache for him to be angry.

"If I know who leaked the gunpowder, I will definitely destroy his three tribes." The emperor said angrily.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng looked at each other, and both of them knew that the emperor agreed with their statement.

This made them feel a little relieved.

The two of them were also worried that the emperor would investigate the matter thoroughly at all costs.

Once that is done, no one can guarantee that the person behind the scenes will not escape from the Tang Dynasty with gunpowder production methods.

If that step is really reached, other countries may really bring the gunpowder production technology of the Tang Dynasty to other countries.

Such losses are irreversible.

Both of them actually thought that the person behind the scenes made gunpowder in Qianzhou not to bring gunpowder to other countries.

Instead, it may be to deal with someone in the court.

For example, Zhao Chen!

Zhao Chen is responsible for the gunpowder matter. Now that the gunpowder is left out, will he not be responsible?

If the two of them expected it would be another verbal battle at the court meeting tomorrow morning.

But they didn't know if the person behind the scenes was standing in the court.
