Chapter 1695: There’s nothing to say
The Qianzhou army carried the captured Quanzhou soldiers back to the city, and Zhang Ji's crimes were soon made public.
The emperor was holding the musket stolen from Li Ke in his hand, and he couldn't let it go and played with it again and again in his yard.
The emperor wanted to know how Zhao Chen came up with such a powerful weapon.
Although the sky-bombing cannon used to be very good, it is now regarded as a treasure by his old head Li.
But compared with the musket in front of you, there is still a little difference.
The Sky Cannon has a large range of damage, but it is not easy to carry. It is no match for this musket. It can be easily used by any soldier.
Moreover, as long as this thing is used in groups, the enemies rushing over during the battle will be completely slaughtered one-sidedly.
If such powerful weapons can be fully equipped in the hands of all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, Lao Li would never dare to imagine the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army.
Holding a musket in his hand, the emperor looked at every detail carefully again.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin walked into the yard and bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Ji has arranged everything, and you can interrogate it at any time."
Cheng Yaojin felt a little confused.
Zhang Ji's problem is just for interrogation, but the emperor actually said he wanted to go by himself.
Things were clearly clear, and the emperor's sudden operation made Cheng Yaojin a little confused.
"I understand." The emperor's face suddenly turned gloomy. Then he carefully wrapped the musket in a yellow paper. He was about to interrogate Zhang Ji, but he saw Zhao Chen slowly walking from outside.
"Why are you here?" When Old Li saw Zhao Chen, he was a little confused and waved his hand to signal Cheng Yaojin to take the lead.
"Come here to discuss something with you." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"What's going on?" The emperor couldn't help but wonder.
In the past, Zhao Chen would not talk to him like this.
Discussing things?
This kid never discussed it with him before.
"I'm going to go to Japan." Zhao Chen spoke, leaving the emperor stunned.
Zhao Chen goes to Japan?
The emperor couldn't understand the reason.
"What are you doing in Japan?" the emperor asked tentatively.
"The leader of the Japanese ronin Ichiro Watanabe told me that these ronin exiled by Japan were actually arranged behind the scenes of the Japanese."
"It's just to harass my Tang Dynasty's peace."
"It's reasonable, I think I have to visit Japan." Zhao Chen explained.
Ichiro Watanabe told Zhao Chen what emperor was not clear about.
But it was obvious that Zhao Chen was preparing to go to Japan.
The emperor disagreed.
Regardless of whether Japan had secretly instructed these Japanese ronin to deal with the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Chen went to Japan in person. After all, it was a foreign country. What should he do if something happened?
If Japan did not instruct the Japanese ronin to deal with the Tang Dynasty, Japan would call itself a younger brother in front of the Tang Dynasty.
It is morally untenable to deal with Japan.
What's more serious is that if Japan really instructs the Japanese ronin to attack the Tang Dynasty, if Zhao Chen goes to Japan and exposes his intentions, it would be very dangerous.
The emperor would rather Zhao Chen stay in Chang'an and farm in various places when he was fine and get some powerful weapons for himself than Zhao Chen takes risks in Japan.
"I don't agree." The emperor immediately denied Zhao Chen's idea.
In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, he, as an emperor, could more or less shock those with ulterior motives, but if he went to Japan, it would be hard to say.
Seeing the emperor's veto so firmly, Zhao Chen also understood the emperor's worries.
But that Japan, Zhao Chen thought of cleaning up him from the bottom of his heart.
"Boy Chen, I will never agree to this matter." The emperor emphasized his attitude again.
And stared at Zhao Chen with his eyes straight.
Zhao Chen nodded with a wry smile. He knew that the emperor was eating weights and was determined not to let himself go to Japan.
However, if you want to deal with Japan, you don’t have to do it yourself.
"Forget it." Zhao Chen left two words, turned around and left.
The emperor was not dissatisfied with Zhao Chen's words. On the contrary, Zhao Chen gave up the idea of going to Japan. The emperor was very happy and relieved.
Seeing Zhao Chen leave, the emperor remembered that he was going to interrogate Zhang Ji, and turned around and walked towards the Quanzhou Prefecture Prison.
...
In Quanzhou Prefecture Prison, Zhang Ji has been imprisoned here for several days.
Although he has never been abused by a prison guard, Zhang Ji also knew that his life was only in these few days.
It’s not that Zhang Ji had never thought about committing suicide, but the prison guards in the prison were staring at him at all times.
Even if it is a hunger strike, it will be forcibly poured into these prisoners.
Zhang Ji wanted to bite his tongue, but his teeth were knocked off by the jailer.
Today, Zhang Ji is a tiger with teeth pulled out, and he no longer has the glory of the past.
"Zhang Ji, come out!" The jailer's voice made Zhang Ji come to his senses. Seeing the jailer walking into the prison with shackles, Zhang Ji suddenly became nervous.
He knew why the emperor never killed himself until now.
I just want to ask something from my mouth.
After being in Quanzhou for so many years, Quanzhou has been attacked by Japanese ronin. It is inevitable that the people of Quanzhou will go to Chang'an to file a lawsuit.
But the Chang'an court had never even heard of this.
So the emperor decided that Zhang Ji was in Chang'an and someone must be maintaining him.
Zhang Ji was put on shackles and pushed out of the prison. When he came to the torture room, he saw the emperor sitting alone in front of him.
"Sit." The emperor waved his hand and signaled Zhang Ji to sit down.
After reaching this point, Zhang Ji had nothing to worry about, so he sat on the stool.
"You all go out, no one is allowed to get close to you." The emperor said to the prison guard next to him.
The jailer bowed and left, and only the emperor and Zhang Ji were left in the torture room.
"Zhang Ji, I came here to examine you in person. I believe you know the reason in your heart. I don't want to talk too much. Tell the people behind you. I can let you live a life." The emperor's voice sounded.
This made Zhang Ji stunned.
Of course he would not doubt the emperor's promise, but the emperor underestimated himself a little.
Tell the person behind it?
Are you the one who is waiting to live without his own wishes?
"How could His Majesty the Emperor have such an idea? I was just a moment of obsession and caused such trouble."
"I have a great sin and a death sentence cannot be escaped, and there is nothing to say."
"I really don't know the person behind His Majesty's words." Zhang Ji shook his head, looking completely unaware of it.
The emperor frowned. He knew that Zhang Ji was pretending to be stupid to him.
But to be honest, he had no clues about the person behind Zhang Ji.
"Zhang Ji, I am giving you a chance!" the emperor said coldly.
"His Majesty the Emperor is willing to give me a chance and be grateful to me. But if there is nothing, how can I talk nonsense?"
