Hao Fenglou was not vague at all when he shouted the wronged. When encountering such a thing, the emphasis was on being the first to be arguing. If you don’t make any noise, you will have no place to put your face.

However, Hao Fenglou's reaction was not beyond everyone's expectations. Zhu Di's expression did not change anyway. He just looked at Hao Fenglou with a smile and said, "Where is the injustice?"

Hao Fenglou said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, I did not fire a firework, this is one of them."

Yang Kai was also in the hall. When Hao Fenglou denied the firecracker, his lungs burst out. He was still shocked. What was the one who fired a few hours ago? The one named Hao was so inconsistent and could not bear it. Yang Kai didn't care about the rules and jumped out and shouted: "Not only is it just a firecracker. Not only did I hear it, but even the officers who accompanied him could hear it clearly. The sound was like thunder, what was the one who didn't firecracker?"

Hao Fenglou said: "It is clearly a musket, where did the cannon come from?"

Yang Kai sneered: "Do you think I am a fool, and you can't even tell the sound of cannons and muskets? I have patrolled the military equipment, and I don't know how many gun sounds you have heard. Do you think I am a three-year-old child, so do you just let me do it?"

Hao Fenglou said: "The musket is a musket. There are no cannons at all. Where did the cannon sound come from!"

Yang Kai was so angry that he shivered: "Nothing is nonsense, nonsense is just artillery."

Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "What if it was a musket?"

Yang Kai was furious, but he was not stupid. He suddenly realized that Hao Fenglou seemed to be deliberately provoking him. His mind couldn't help but sway, fearing that Hao Fenglou would have any backup plan, but he didn't dare to agree. His eyes flashed and he returned to his old age. He looked at Hao Fenglou with a deep look and said with a smile: "Whether it is artillery or musket, you take it out to target the envoy, it is a huge crime. The state dynasty has its own laws. Emperor Taizu had a clear order at that time, and the censor of the Censorate and

The six ministries of the ministers can advise the emperor, speak in the way, impeach, pick up hundreds of officials, inspect the local officials, etc. No matter how big or small the matter is involved, no matter what the situation is, you will not be punished. I am the commander of the censor. The responsibility is to inspect your work. Now you have a thousand households but you say bad words, asking me to go wherever you come from, and then ordered people to fire cannons and fire guns. This is a great rebellion. You still don’t repent. But you are entangled in the dispute over cannons and guns. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?"

A censor is a censor. His words are organized and straight to the point.

Everyone present couldn't help but sigh, even if it was Zhu Di, he was also stroking the case without saying a word. However, he felt puzzled. Is this a firecracker or a firecracker? Although the cannon and guns are both gunpowder, anyone can tell the sound. What is the name here?

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Please leave because of your safety. We are testing the musket. If you accidentally hurt your adult, what should you say?"

Yang Kai sneered and said repeatedly: "You try to build a musket and fire a gun without authorization. This is also a serious crime."

The two of them were entangled, but obviously, Hao Fenglou's purpose was achieved. He said slowly: "It is not arbitrary to fire the gun, but according to Your Majesty's will. This army's southern expedition lacks bows, crossbows and arrows. He was ordered to try to make a musket and try to achieve the effect. What, is this a crime?"

Zhu Di, who was sitting high on the imperial chair, coughed and said, "This matter... I remembered that there was indeed such an order, but it was not passed through Wenyuan Pavilion, which was considered to be the order."

It's obviously a side-to-side.

Yang Kai did not dare to be arrogant in front of Zhu Di, and he had no idea for a moment.

Some of the civil and military ministers were anxious, but Xie Jin stood up without saying a word and said, "That's right, how dare you ask Hao Qianhu, how was the trial production of this musket? Besides, even if Your Majesty ordered you to test it, he did not teach you to use these things to scare the imperial envoy. I advise you not to pretend to be a tiger's power. You should not speak loudly in this palace, but you should pay attention to your etiquette."

Xie Jin's appearance suddenly made the atmosphere tense. Everyone knows that this scholar Jie is not only a close minister, but also commands the Hanlin. Most of the government orders in the world come from him. In addition to his relationship with the prince, it is not an exaggeration to say that this person is inferior to one person and above ten thousand people.

Immediately afterwards, many people jumped out. In fact, Xie Jin's words were not too heavy, but this was a trend. Xie Xueshi expressed his attitude. If those who were tempted by the storm, how could there be a chance next time? So people came forward one after another, and their attitude was not as light as Xie Jin. He heard someone shouting: "Hao Fenglou, you have always been arrogant, and you still speak cleverly now, which is outrageous. This official is a minister of the Ministry of War. Have you ever reported to the Ministry of War for a trial production of a musket? You have obtained 100 kilograms of gunpowder and countless saltpeters from the Nanjing Construction Bureau. Why don't you greet the Ministry of War? I think you are clearly raising private soldiers and are ruthless!"

"I won't say anything about the clever and lustful skills of thousands of families. I want to impeach you with arrogant and corrupt personal morality. Hao Fenglou, don't deny it. Recently, there are many fireworks women in Beijing who have been using your name, claiming to be protected by you, and attracting merchants everywhere. You are a despicable official in the court after all, but you are so unscrupulous. Isn't it ridiculous?"

"Not only that, someone from Songjiang Prefecture passed on a letter saying that although this person was a hero, he acted absurdly. It is said that this person still has to live with flowers and willows..."

The whole palace was in an uproar...

Such speculations have been taken to the public. It is simply a pity for people to appear in this temple, so that even some people who are watching the fun feel that it is a bit too much.

But the person involved just smiled faintly and said nothing, watching the performances of these censors.

Zhu Di couldn't sit still at this time, and Hao Fenglou has always been highly valued. This is known to everyone in Nanjing. Now these people criticized Hao Fenglou in this way, saying that his moral character was corrupt. In fact, to some extent, he also scolded Zhu Di. This hat that was close to the villain could not be taken off.

Zhu Di snorted coldly, his face turned slightly ashen, and said, "Hao Fenglou, are they all true?" He vented his anger on the surface, but it was Xiang Zhuang's sword-drinking.

Hao Fenglou said frankly: "I used to be a good thing, there were indeed many things in my mind."

He was the truth, but then said, "But it is inevitable that he is frivolous in his youth. I want to ask the officials in the palace, whether you have the today's demeanor, meticulousness, and dignity of ministers since childhood? Who dares to pat your chest to guarantee that Hao Fenglou is willing to admit his guilt and submit to the law."

This time, the palace was silent.

Hao Fenglou sneered: "Since someone wants to turn over old accounts, it's okay. I am just a small family, and it's not so noticeable in the capital. I have never said that I am a gentleman. If I really want to care, at most I can only say that I am an ordinary military officer who is diligent in doing things, willing to be loyal to the country, and serve Your Majesty. Today, the public attacked him and made people feel heartbroken. The more the arguments there are, the more useless the whole story. However, one thing must be explained clearly. Just now, the scholar asked how the trial production of the musket was, and then someone tried his best to attack my morality. But in my opinion, this musket is the top priority. The court is about to move troops, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians are waiting for it. How big is the involvement? This battle is not only about the decency of the Ming Dynasty, but also about the national economy and people's livelihood, and the country's affairs, but the temple is still calculating the private morality of the military officers. Isn't this a joke?"

These words have attracted the appetite of a certain group of people. Most of the people who are concerned about Annan affairs are the group led by Zhu Neng. They have no choice but to take the stage in person. It is related to the country and their own personal interests. At present, the army has gathered, and the food and fodder that can be used are also hoarded in Yunnan and Guangxi. The beacon has already started, and the knife has been sharpened. Although some people may not like Hao Fenglou, Hao Fenglou directly denounced some ministers for no importance, which made Zhu Neng and others feel a little more comfortable.

Hao Fenglou continued: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been criticizing me for their crimes. I have no doubt about it. I have spent more than a month on my energy on the fire. I am willing to do my best to the soldiers' southern expedition. Although the distance cannot save the near fire, I am just doing my best. As for your Majesty's crime or punishment, I am willing to accept it."

Another trick of retreating to advance is just to throw a gimmick before retreating.

Look at what Hao Fenglou means, it seems that this musket is really a bit mysterious, which inevitably aroused everyone's curiosity, among which Zhu Di is even more so.

Therefore, many people's minds turned to the musket, and subtly felt that the debate just now was indeed a bit boring. After all, the crime has always been a testimony of freedom. Once the dispute is controversial, it will never end. It is better to find something substantial to criticize it directly.

Zhu Di looked around and saw the silent hall. Everyone was waiting for his ruling. He stroled the case and said slowly: "What? You claimed that you were trying hard and trying your best to do your best for the Nanzheng. Since that's the case, I will wait and see. But... I am ugly in front of you. If you are really diligent in the king's affairs and neglect others, I will not only not blame you, but I will not be able to give up a grace, but if you use something that is not rare to make up for and use it to get rid of the crime, I will definitely be punished severely."

Zhu Di raised his eyes slightly, and did not ask Hao Fenglou if he was satisfied, but directly said: "What do you think?"

At this point, it is actually impossible to say more. Everyone said together: "Your Majesty is wise."

Since it is a wise mind, then naturally it is what Zhu Di said.

Zhu Di said: "Hao Fenglou, order someone to get your musket."

Hao Fenglou said: "Weichen's musket needs specialized personnel to achieve the greatest effect. Please ask Your Majesty to ask Weichen to order people to adjust the muskets and some musketmen to go to the palace to practice."
