Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Baihua Pavilion.

The emperor walked straight into the cabinet.

Mumu followed and walked in.

"Your Majesty, let me give you a massage..."

Mumu stretched out her hand and gently pressed it on Li Si's temple.

Li Si was lying on the Taishi chair, squinting his eyes: "Which Taiyi did you use this technique with?"

Before, Mumu had told Li Si that her massage technique was learned from an old doctor in the palace.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the concubine only knows that the imperial physician's surname is Zhang..."

"It was the empress dowager who brought imperial doctor Zhang for her concubine. The queen mother told her concubine that your majesty was busy with government affairs and must be physically tired. She asked her concubine to learn more about this, so as to relieve the pressure for her majesty..."

Mumu said in a low voice.

Being so close to the emperor, even if it wasn't the first time, made Mumuqiao's face slightly red.

"If Your Majesty likes it, I will give His Majesty a massage every night from now on..."

Mumu mustered up his courage.

"Massage is unnecessary."

"Come with me tonight."

Li Si held Mumu's wrist and pulled Mumu into his arms with a little force.

"Your Majesty, it's not evening yet..."

However, before Mu Mu finished speaking, Li Si picked him up...

...

...

the next day.

Li Si left Baihua Pavilion.

The sun is shining, just like the emperor's mood.

At this time, Li Si was in a good mood, because Mu Mu's service made Li Si relax for a night.

Li Si returned to the Hall of Longevity, and after having breakfast, he sat down in front of the throne of the dragon chair.

On the dragon case, memorials have long been piled up, waiting for the emperor's approval.

Just as Li Si opened the memorial, the eunuch came in.

"Your Majesty, Director Cao of the East Factory is out to see you.

Li Si raised his head and said, "Xuan!"

"According to the order."

The valet eunuch withdrew.

Not long after, Cao Zhengchun walked into the Hall of Longevity.

"The old slave has seen His Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.

Li Si closed the memorial and looked at Cao Zhengchun: "Why did you enter the palace so early?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this old slave found traces of gunpowder in Chang'an City."

Cao Zhengchun bowed.

"Traces of gunpowder?"

Li Si's eyes narrowed slightly.

The matter of gunpowder was handed over to the Minister of Industry by Li Si himself.

In order to develop gunpowder, the Minister of Industry chose the site outside Chang'an City.

Moreover, around the venue, there are guards personally guarded by the Imperial Guard.

Except for the Minister of Industry, other people are only allowed in and not out, to prevent any possibility of leaking secrets.

Li Si was very curious. Under such circumstances, how did the gunpowder leak into Chang'an City?

"you sure?"

Li Si looked at Cao Zhengchun and said.

Cao Zhengchun immediately said: "Report to Your Majesty, this old slave has been confirmed again and again."

"This is the gunpowder that the old slave found at the scene."

Cao Zhengchun poured out some black powder from his cuff.

Li Si glanced at it and determined that it was gunpowder.

When Cao Zhengchun saw that the emperor did not speak, he said, "Report to Your Majesty, this old slave believes that this matter is related to the Minister of Industry."

"It must be the minister of the Ministry of Industry who was bold and quietly handed the gunpowder to others."

Li Si frowned upon hearing this.

really.

What Cao Zhengchun said makes sense.

As for gunpowder, Li Si only handed it over to the Minister of Industry for development.

In the venue outside Chang'an City, only the Minister of Industry can enter and exit.

But at this moment, gunpowder appeared in Chang'an City.

There are only two possibilities.

One: The Minister of Industry took out the gunpowder privately and accidentally left it in Chang'an City.

Two: The Minister of Industry colluded with others and handed over gunpowder to outsiders.

The first possibility is that the Minister of Work violates the Holy Will and is a capital offense.

The second possibility is that the Minister of Industry treasoned the country and was associated with the nine clans.

No matter what the possibility is, the Minister of Industry cannot escape a death.

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair and fell into contemplation.

To be honest, Li Si did not think that the Minister of Industry would dare to do so.

The Ministry of Industry Minister and his family are all in Chang'an.

And the Minister of Industry himself is also in Chang'an.

Li Si couldn't understand why the Minister of Industry dared to take such a big risk?

Li Si believes that as long as the Minister of Industry has a little brain, he will never dare to pay attention to gunpowder...

In terms of power, the Minister of Industry is one of the six books of the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of money, if life is gone, what kind of money do you need?

Therefore, Li Si can't figure out the reason why the Minister of Industry did this...

"Your Majesty, why don't the old slave send someone to take down the Minister of Industry, and wait for the Dongchang dungeon for a trial?"

Cao Zhengchun suggested in a low voice.

For these courtiers who betrayed His Majesty, Dongchang has special tortures waiting for them.

Li Si heard the words and shook his head: "No, the Minister of Industry is my minister after all, and I will give him the opportunity to explain."

"Come here, the minister of the Ministry of Propaganda and Industry has entered the palace."

As soon as Li Si's voice fell, the eunuch, the eunuch, led the order out of the palace, looking for the minister of the Ministry of Industry and conveying the emperor's will.

At the moment, the minister of the Ministry of Industry was having a meal in the Shangshu's mansion. Hearing His Majesty's summons, he hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks, tidied up his appearance, and entered the palace to face the saint.

The Minister of Industry came to the Hall of Longevity, thinking in his heart why His Majesty summoned him.

As a courtier, figuring out the holy will is the basic skill.

If a courtier does not even know what His Majesty is thinking, no matter how capable and loyal the courtier is, the future will probably be like this.

Although the Minister of Industry did not like to fight for power and profit, he couldn't help but guess what His Majesty was thinking.

"Are you asking about gunpowder?"

The Minister of Industry doesn't think so.

A few days ago, His Majesty went outside Chang'an City in person to check the power of gunpowder.

It's only been a few days, and His Majesty should not have summoned him to the palace because of this...

It's just that entering the palace is not for gunpowder, but for what?

The Minister of Industry was a little apprehensive.

Because he had no clue to His Majesty letting him enter the palace.

"Sir, come in..."

The valet eunuch looked at the Minister of Industry and said.

The Minister of Industry took a deep breath and walked into the Hall of Longevity.

In the Hall of Longevity, Li Si saw the Minister of Works coming in, and said casually, "Come here, give Aiqing a seat."

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, a young eunuch held a chair and placed it behind the Minister of Industry.

"His Majesty..."

The Minister of Works sat down nervously.

The Minister of Industry looked around and found that in addition to Your Majesty, Cao Zhengchun of the East Factory was also here.

The Minister of Industry frowned.

For the people of Dongchang, none of the civil and military officials have a favorable impression.

In the eyes of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the people of Dongchang were all lunatics.

See who bites who!

If it wasn't for the trust of His Majesty, there would have been a joint name of courtiers and the East Factory would have been cancelled.

However, the Minister of Industry also knew that Dongchang was the eyes and ears of the emperor.

The emperor needed the East Factory to supervise hundreds of officials and supervise the world.

If there is no great reason, the emperor will never lose his eyes and ears...

Even so, the Minister of Industry did not like to see people from the East Factory.

Especially Cao Zhengchun, the director of the East Factory!

"Aiqing has arrived, Cao Zhengchun, tell me what you know."

Li Si leaned slightly on the throne of the dragon chair and said.

"According to the order."

Cao Zhengchun bowed slightly and said loudly, "Report to Your Majesty, this old slave suspects that the Minister of Industry has colluded with foreign enemies and leaked the secrets of gunpowder!".

As soon as Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, the Minister of Industry suddenly stood up and glared at Cao Zhengchun:

"Your Majesty, Cao Zhengchun spit out the blood, the old minister never leaked the gunpowder matter, and I hope your majesty will decide for the old minister!"
