My subjects are too rebellious!

Chapter 76 Summoning Important Officials

"Long Yi, I am very satisfied with the efficiency of the Jinyiwei."

"This is what subordinates should do."

Qin Chuan was very satisfied. After all, these were all subordinates rewarded by the system, so they were naturally extremely loyal.

"Strengthen the collection of evidence of crimes against all officials, and do not let go of any evidence of crimes against officials from all regions."

"When the time is right, we can cooperate with the East Factory to arrest officials from all over the country."

Long Yi bowed respectfully and said, "Yes!"

"Okay, you go down first."

Long Yi knelt on one knee, then stood up and left.

When passing by the side hall, he glanced coldly at the people inside.

Cao Cao was not afraid because he had a clear conscience.

But Heshen and Yan Song were trembling in their hearts.

"Long Er, how is the progress of the Red Barbarian Cannon and the Divine Fire Crow?"

Long Er was well prepared and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, according to the design, the Divine Fire Flying Crow has begun to show results."

"The crow-shaped rocket is filled with gunpowder, and there is a gunpowder line running through the gunpowder, which is connected in series with the gunpowder in the gunpowder barrel of the take-off rocket."

"When launching, the gunpowder line of the rocket is first ignited, so that the rocket flies to the enemy and the gunpowder in the crow's body is detonated, killing and burning the enemy's troops. It is a powerful weapon for breaking through the enemy's formation and attacking the city."

"But the current power is still insufficient. The gunpowder is not powerful enough and can only propel it to a distance of fifty feet."

"According to the design drawings, it says it can reach a distance of one hundred feet, so I am currently working on improving it."

After hearing this, Qin Chuan fell into deep thought and pondered secretly.

He knew nothing about firearms and was a layman. He could only give some suggestions based on the superficial knowledge he had gained in his previous life.

"Is it because of the gunpowder problem? How about the black gunpowder design I gave you earlier?"

Long Er said with some embarrassment: "We are still researching the best ratio of black gunpowder."

"Because we haven't figured out the best ratio yet, and because it can't be used in the Divine Fire Crow yet."

"It is also unsafe and can easily explode during transportation."

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment and continued, "Let's experiment with a small dose first, and find the best ratio of black powder according to the design."

"Subordinates take orders!"

"What about the Red Cannon?"

Long Er immediately responded: "Because of the spindle-shaped structure, the barrel is long, the wall is thick, and the overall shape gradually thickens from the muzzle to the breech, so a large amount of copper ore is needed."

"Because the Ministry of Revenue has just stabilized, they have not yet provided copper mines to my subordinates, so the progress has been delayed a bit."

"That's no problem. I will tell He Shen to give priority to supplying all the materials your department needs."

"Here."

"Okay, then you go down first. If you have any progress, report it immediately."

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

Qin Chuan pondered in his heart, the Red Cannon has a front sight and a rear sight, and the trajectory is calculated according to a parabola, so it is very accurate.

If it can be produced in large quantities, it will be considered as one of our trump cards.

"Zhang Rang, let He Shen come in."

Zhang Rang stepped forward immediately and announced, "Announce, Heshen is here to see the emperor!"

When Heshen heard the message, he immediately put on his official uniform and walked forward quickly.

"I, Heshen, greet your majesty!"

"Long live your majesty!"

Qin Chuan stared at He Shen and said coldly, "Do you know what happened today?"

He Shen immediately turned around and shuddered, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please understand! I am not aware of this matter. If I knew, I would definitely stop it."

"really?"

"Your Majesty, I have a clear conscience, and I have absolutely no selfish motives at all!"

Looking at the loyalty level of 70 above Heshen's head, Qin Chuan understood.

"Get up."

Hearing this, Heshen felt relieved.

This wave is stable again.

He stood up with great fear and trepidation, but did not dare to look up.

"The materials Long Er needs will be provided first after you return. Do not delay."

"If you delay my important task, even ten lives won't be enough to compensate for it."

He Shen immediately replied with a bitter face: "I obey your order!"

"Also, although I don't know the exact amount of silver in the national treasury, it is not small. Moreover, the money you have collected over the years..."

Before Qin Chuan could finish, He Shen immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I dare not embezzle or accept bribes. Those are the court's money. I dare not touch them!"

"Don't be nervous, My dear."

Qin Chuan stared at Heshen with a smile and comforted him.

"I know you are loyal. The court is in urgent need of money. If you can help me, it will be a great achievement. Do you understand?"

Heshen naturally understood that His Majesty was asking him to use the money in exchange for a stable life.

It's even more like changing your own life.

Although he was reluctant, he could only agree with a bitter face: "Your humble servant...Your humble servant understands."

Qin Chuan was very satisfied: "That's good as long as you understand."

"Also, I have a task for you. Recently, many corrupt officials have been investigated and punished, and even more have been executed."

"Take the Royal Guards with you to search their houses and don't let any family go."

"Also, if there is evidence of a crime against an official, you can also bring the Royal Guards to search his house."

When He Shen heard this, he immediately regained his smile and said quickly, "I obey your order!"

Seeing that Heshen's voice had become higher in pitch in response, Qin Chuan smiled secretly.

With the Jinyiwei following you, do you still want to gain benefits from it? But Heshen didn't care.

According to his understanding, it is impossible for someone to be upright and not greedy.

"Okay, go down and do what I have given you immediately."

"I accept the order and thank you!"

After paying his respects, Heshen stood up and walked out of the hall.

Looking at Heshen's smiling face, Yan Song was a little confused, but he still calmed himself down.

"Zhang Rang, Xuan Yansong."

"Announce, Yan Song is here to see the emperor!"

When Yan Song heard the message, he immediately took a step and walked quickly into the hall.

Soon, he came in front of Qin Chuan and immediately bowed down: "I am Yan Song, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to your Majesty!"

"Long live your majesty."

Qin Chuan looked at the loyalty level of 60 above Yan Song's head and felt somewhat puzzled.

Then he waved his hand and said, "My dear minister, please get up quickly. There is no need for us, the king and his subject, to do this."

Yan Song said in a serious tone: "The monarch is the monarch, and the minister is the minister. The etiquette between the monarch and the minister is what the minister should do."

"Prime Minister Yan, you are the minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor. How can you be compared with other ministers?"

Yan Song's heart trembled and he complained secretly.

Minister of the care of the young emperor? Your Majesty, you have killed several ministers of the care of the young emperor, so please don't call me such an old minister.

"Your Majesty, since I am the minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor, I should set an example. Your Majesty must not do this."

"All right, my dear, please stand up. Zhang Rang, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Zhang Rang stepped forward and brought a small stool. Yan Song bowed and then sat on it.

Afterwards, he sat upright and looked at Qin Chuan, waiting for the emperor to question him.

"Xiang Yan, what do you think about today's incident?"

Yan Song knew that what was coming would come sooner or later, and whether he lived or died depended on today.

Moreover, he knew very well that His Majesty must have evidence of his guilt.

Whether it was his, his son's, or the ministers who followed him.

As long as there is evidence of these people's crimes, he will definitely be implicated in the end, because Yan Song knows that only His Majesty can protect him now.

The Queen Mother has already abandoned these civil officials.

It can even be said that the Queen Mother has withdrawn from the vortex of the court.

The Queen Mother is of noble status, so she naturally doesn't worry about what His Majesty will do to her.

Because Yan Song was very serious in today's conversation.

He has already prepared himself mentally.
