Chapter 308: Whose Child


The matter of the Secret Weapon Academy is basically finalized, and the next thing is to go back to the Lin De Hall to discuss some details, such as how much money needs to be allocated, appoint some other officials or something, appoint the officials of the Secret Weapon Academy, no one is allowed to recommend candidates, all are decided by the emperor, and the emperor let Zhen Jian decide, Zhen Jian has actually been understanding the reputation of some officials with the beggar gang before, and selected eighteen large and small officials to serve in the Secret Weapon Academy, in charge of various departments.

The matter of a secret weapon academy was discussed for an hour, and it was almost impossible for other ministers to intervene, and the next thing was to discuss the matter of Zhen Jian's reward.

The emperor spoke first: "Originally, Zhen Jian's reward had already been discussed with Zhu Qing, but the situation has changed, and Zhen Jian suddenly presented this unparalleled ......."

Seeing that he couldn't remember his name, Zhen Jian reminded: "Gunpowder." ” "Yes, gunpowder, the gunpowder offered by Zhen Jian, the power, all the ministers can see it, haha, from now on, we don't have to be afraid of the bullying of the Huns and Liang Guo, I believe there is no need to say more, you also know in your hearts that such feats are higher than the military exploits he has made, and a mere envoy of the Secret Weapons Academy is not enough to show his merits."

Qu Miao hurriedly echoed: "What the emperor said is very true, the power of gunpowder is like divine thunder, I believe that my Great Chu army will be invincible from now on." ” Zhen Jian suddenly said at this time: "Your Majesty, although gunpowder is powerful, it is not invincible, and there are actually many drawbacks. ” The emperor frowned unhappily when he heard this, thinking that this kid is too eyeless, he is praising you, and wants to get a good position for you.

Zhen Jian also knew that he was demolishing his own platform, but he was very worried about the excessive optimism of the emperor and his ministers, who is strong in gunpowder, but it is not invincible, the key is how to use it, how advanced the firearms of the Ming Dynasty in history were, and in the end they were not dead, but they were destroyed by a group of peasant rebels.

Although the emperor was not happy, he was not angry, and asked Zhen Jian: "Oh, what are the shortcomings?"

” Zhen Jiandao: "Gunpowder is afraid of water, if it is rainy, it must be moisture-proof, if it is damp, then the gunpowder is useless." ” "Well......

"The Emperor nodded thoughtfully, "which means that gunpowder cannot be used in rainy battles. ” "Exactly."

Zhen Jian shook his head and continued, "Gunpowder is still afraid of fire, and if gunpowder wants to explode, it must be ignited with fire, but if gunpowder is stored in the warehouse and encounters fire and accidentally ignites it, then the entire military camp will not need the enemy to attack, and it will kill itself." ” When the emperor and his ministers heard this, their hearts suddenly sank, they had seen the power of gunpowder, the power of a grenade in his hand was so huge, and the explosion of gunpowder in a warehouse, they couldn't imagine that destroying a military camp was probably like a joke.

The emperor said with a serious face: "Zhen Jian reminded him very well, in the future, when firearms are distributed to the army, he must warn all those who use firearms not to set themselves on fire." ” Zhen Jian said slowly: "Your Majesty, although gunpowder is a sharp weapon of the country, it is only a kind of weapon, even if a sword is sharp, it depends on whether the user is powerful, the weapon is always a weapon, and the only one who can strengthen the country can be a person." ” "Hmm."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and praised, "Zhen Jian is very right, I didn't expect you to be able to understand such a big truth at a young age, it is commendable, although firearms are good, they can't be overly relied on." ” "Your Majesty."

Zhen Jian's head.

He knew that perhaps the Emperor was just casually answering him, but he had to say it.

Next, the emperor began to discuss the issue of Zhen Jian's reward with the ministers.

In the end, Zhen Jian's reward was determined, and the title was promoted to the Marquis of Shaoxing County, a thousand households in Shiyi, a lieutenant of the light car, a Wensan official Jin Ziguanglu Doctor (Zheng Sanpin), a military officer Guide General (from the third grade), and a military department Langzhong (from the fourth grade).

After all, Zhen Jian has already served as the envoy of the Secret Weapon Academy, how can the emperor just let Zhen Jian serve as an envoy of the Secret Weapon Academy, the Secret Weapon Academy is only responsible for making gunpowder, and he can't participate in political affairs at all, he wants to reuse Zhen Jian, so naturally he wants to let Zhen Jian enter the sixth department.

Qin Huan never dared to speak, and now as long as it was about Zhen Jian, he didn't take the initiative to speak, but asked the officials under him to say it, and he would at most second, lest the emperor think that he was targeting Zhen Jian.

At the end of the discussion, Qin Huan went home in a sedan chair, he sat in the sedan chair, and suddenly realized one thing, Zhen Jianming made war exploits, why did the emperor confer on him a civil official?

Look at Zhen Jian's position and title now, it is really both civil and military, even if he doesn't have it, the entire court seems to be unique.

Da Chu used civilian officials to clamp down on military generals, and Zhen Jian can now be said to be both civil and military, and the momentum is rapid, which is not a good sign.

Zhen Jian came out of the palace and was about to go home, as soon as he came out of the imperial city, he saw King Qi standing outside the door waiting, he quickly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is coming to greet me again?"

” King Qi said with a sad face: "I am looking for you this time, there is something wrong." ” Seeing that his expression was wrong, Zhen Jian couldn't help frowning and asking, "What happened?"

” King Qi sighed lightly, leaned into his ear, and said softly, "Qin Mengjing is pregnant." ” Zhen Jian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Who's?"

” "I don't know."

King Qi said, "She said it was mine." ” "Are you sure?"

Zhen Jian asked.

King Qi said: "I asked the doctor, and the doctor can't determine the detailed pregnancy date, it's really hard to determine, but she insists that it is mine." ” Zhen Jian's eyebrows frowned when he heard this, no matter how superb the doctors of this era are, the error of the pregnancy date will be about twenty days, and it is impossible to be as accurate as the instrument measurement in the future world.

And the time between the day he had a relationship with Qin Mengjing and Qin Mengjing's marriage was too short, so it was no wonder that he couldn't determine who the child was, which was distressing.

Zhen Jian pondered for a long time, looked at King Qi, and asked, "Do you want me to ask her?"

” "Okay."

King Qi nodded.

The two of them took the men and horses towards the Qi Palace.

Entered the palace of King Qi and came to the inner courtyard, the guard said that the princess went to the garden to see the lotus, and now it is the day when the lotus flowers are first blooming, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond are blooming beautifully, so the two came to the garden again.

I saw that there was a rockery in the middle of the lotus pond, there was a small pavilion on the rockery, the pavilion and the shore were connected by a delicate wooden bridge, Qin Mengjing was taking the maid hibiscus, sitting in the pavilion to watch the lotus, the mood seemed to be very good, there were talking and laughing.

King Qi looked at Qin Mengjing, then turned his head to look at Zhen Jian, and said seriously: "Zhen Jian, you must let her tell the truth, I hope this child is yours." ” Zhen Jian frowned when he heard this: "How can you say that, if the child is mine, then don't you want to raise the child for me?"

” "Raise it for you, raise it for you, it's a big deal, don't you know, Dou Ling'er hasn't paid much attention to me since she learned that Qin Mengjing was pregnant with my child, every time I go, I touch a nail, and ah, if she is pregnant with my child, how can I divorce her."

Zhen Jian was speechless when he heard this, and he really didn't know whether to praise King Qi or scold him.

King Qi stopped in place, Zhen Jian walked to the wooden bridge, crossed the wooden bridge, and walked into the pavilion, Qin Mengjing saw Zhen Jian coming, smiled slightly, and said to Mu Hibiscus: "Mu Hibiscus, you should retreat first." ” "Yes."

Hibiscus stepped back as he was told.

Qin Mengjing pointed to the wooden stool and said, "Sit down and talk." ” Zhen Jian sat down and said, "I came this time just to ask, whose child is in your belly?"

” "Naturally, it's the prince's."

Qin Mengjing looked like a matter of course, and said, "I am the prince's wife, and the pregnancy is naturally the prince's child." ” Zhen Jianchang took a breath and said slowly, "Can you tell the truth?"

” "That's the truth."

Qin Mengjing turned her head to look at the lotus flowers in the pond, her expression a little indifferent.

"That's good."

Zhen Jian got up and arched his hand, "I'll leave first."

Then he turned and left.

As soon as Zhen Jian left, Qin Mengjing also took a long breath, raised her hand and gently covered her chest, feeling her heart beating wildly.

Zhen Jian returned to King Qi, and King Qi asked eagerly: "How is it, what did she say?"

” She said......

It's yours. ” King Qi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said depressedly: "She must be lying, I'll follow her......

Once, how could it be such a coincidence!

” Zhen Jian raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What you said, didn't I say it once." ” King Qi suddenly became even more depressed, and said: "I don't care, I will take care of the child, but it must be yours, it is yours." ” Zhen Jian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Then if you have the ability, let the child's surname be Zhen." ” King Qi suddenly wilted, if he dared to let his child's surname Zhen, his father would definitely tear his skin three layers.

After a while, King Qi sighed helplessly: "That's it, it doesn't matter who he is, anyway, we are like brothers, we all regard it as our own, I am the child's father, and you are the child's father." ” Zhen Jian glared and asked, "Shouldn't it be a godfather?"

” King Qi waved his hand and said, "Father, godfather, it's almost, don't care about these details." ” Zhen Jian: ......
