Chapter 56 Chu Li Heaving
It was the first time that everyone saw Emperor Qingyuan so excited that he actually left the dragon throne and came into the palace.
He walked in front of Xiao Cang and said anxiously: "Show me quickly!"
Xiao Cang presented the secret letter with both hands.
When Emperor Qingyuan heard Ye Hanting say that gunpowder bullets were several times more powerful than muskets, he was delighted and excited.
Now the countries are at war with each other and the world has not yet been unified.
If Da Chu really has the formula for gunpowder bombs, and it is a secret recipe prepared by his prince, then Da Chu's strength will stand out among all kinds of people!
Emperor Qingyuan opened the box halfway carefully as if he had found a treasure. When he saw the material ratio of the gunpowder bomb, his brows furrowed.
It’s not easy to get so many scarce resources!
Eunuch Li was very tactful and blocked the gazes coming over.
Chu Li knew that in ancient times, the configuration of gunpowder bullets was definitely a king bomb!
Of course she couldn't let anyone know about this top-secret technology.
Moreover, making gunpowder bombs requires extremely high technical skills. Even the slightest difference will result in failure, and mass production is impossible.
When the time comes, the people from the Ministry of War will still have to look for her. She is the only one who masters the technology to make gunpowder bombs, so naturally my father will have to beg her.
Therefore, the secret recipe given to the Ministry of War was just a bait. She needed everyone to know that no one could replace the prince's ability!
Emperor Qingyuan walked up to Chu Li and patted him on the shoulder, "I am very pleased that the Crown Prince is so motivated!"
Chu Li smiled respectfully at his scumbag father, and Emperor Qingyuan continued, "When I am not in the capital, from now on, the Crown Prince will begin to supervise the country. All the princes must perform their duties in the court and contribute their knowledge to the rise of the Great Chu!"
The ministers responded, "Our emperor is wise!"
Chu Liming understood that from now on she, her brothers and the Sixth Prince would have to attend the daily morning court!
"Prince, please go and take a good look at the victims for me!" Emperor Qingyuan looked at Chu Li with a different look in his eyes.
"Yes, father!" Chu Li clasped his fists.
*** was furious when he heard this.
From this moment on, she will treat Chu Li as her opponent!
She wants to see how long Chu Li can remain the crown prince!
......
Chu Li visited the people affected by the disaster.
Because she was well prepared, no other civilians were injured or killed except for the eighteen people in Mei Renpin's family.
After the people learned about the series of things the prince had done to fight the mountain floods, they were grateful to Chu Li.
After Chu Li finished his disaster relief work, he went to the Dali Temple.
I didn’t expect Ye Hanting to be there too.
Lu Dongchen felt a headache. After the ruthless Master Ye had interrogated Wu Cheng, he had been delaying the interrogation of Mei Renpin.
Ye Hanting was leisurely drinking tea in the Dali Temple. When he saw Chu Li coming, he raised his eyes slightly.
Chu Li nodded, "The master is here too."
Ye Hanting put down his teacup and looked at Chu Li, "Your Highness, in the case of Liu Chuang, the case file back then involved the son and daughter-in-law of Mr. Zhang from Xiaomei Village. Mei Renpin might still be of some use. This Grand Tutor tends to be rough in judging cases, so the Crown Prince should go first!"
Lu Dongchen swallowed his saliva. Ye Hanting meant that if he tried Mei Renpin, the old man would probably die, and the prince would not have the chance to try the case at all.
"Thank you, sir, for your thoughtful consideration!"
Chu Li also heard that Ye Hanting only stayed in the prison where Wu Cheng was imprisoned for a short while, but he found out the truth of the matter with just three sentences.
It is said that Wu Cheng is blind in one eye and will wet his pants reflexively when he hears Ye Hanting's name.
She had beaten Mei Renpin before, and the bad old man was almost half dead. It would be better not to let Ye Hanting torment him anymore.
Soon, Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Zhang Zhilong also arrived.
Chu Li went into the prison with him, and Lu Dongchen was worried, so he followed him.
After everyone left, Ye Hanting's eyes darkened. He put down the cup in his hand and looked at Lan Yi in the dark.
Lan Yi nodded, then sneaked into the Dali Temple.
Chu Li and others came to the prison where Liu Chuang was imprisoned.
Chu Li's eyes were irritated by the stench in the prison. The stench of dead rats made her stomach churn and she dry-heaved.
It was strange. Her stomach was quite strong, so why did she react so strongly all of a sudden? She almost vomited.
Lu Dongchen used to look down on Chu Li, but after being humiliated twice in the court, he has learned his lesson.
He nodded and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status and has never been to such a place. How about I bring Liu Chuang out for you to interrogate?"
Chu Li resisted the urge to vomit, raised his hand and said, "No need!"
Zhang Zhilong followed behind Chu Li, guarding against Lu Dongchen, as he was afraid that this man would interfere.
Every year, he would come to see Liu Chuang. It has been almost a year, and he doesn’t know how Liu Chuang is doing now!
Chu Li walked forward with her hands behind her back. She stopped in the last cell and saw a man with disheveled hair.
The man leaned against the wall with an expressionless face, looking at her fiercely.
Just as Lu Dongchen was about to announce the arrival of the crown prince, Chu Li raised his hand to stop him, and stood at the prison door and asked, "Are you Liu Chuang?"
The man opposite glanced at her lightly with his eagle eyes, then looked away as if he didn't see her.
Lu Dongchen was angry, "Liu Chuang!"
Liu Chuang looked at Lu Dongchen coldly and said calmly: "What are you yelling about!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. Really good, tough guy!
Lu Dongchen was humiliated by a prisoner named Liu Chuang in front of the prince. He clenched his fists and said, "The prince is here, why don't you get up!"
Liu Chuang sneered twice and raised his dirty hands towards Chu Li, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see me in person. What? The Crown Prince wants to treat me to a drink?"
Chu Li smiled faintly, "Okay!"
She looked at Lu Dongchen behind her, "Lord Lu, please help me get a jar of good wine. If you don't have it, go buy it!"
Lu Dongchen was reluctant, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only leave in anger.
Seeing that the prince really wanted to invite him to drink, Liu Chuang curled his lips and laughed, his eyes lingering on Chu Li's face for a few breaths.
Although it was dark in the prison, he could still see Chu Li's androgynous face.
The prince is indeed as handsome as the legend says!
However, isn’t the prince a cowardly and incompetent loser?
It doesn’t look like it!
Liu Chuang sat carelessly, his head against the wall, with no respect at all. "Your Highness the Crown Prince is willing to treat a murderer like me to a drink. This is unheard of. Is it a beheading wine?"
Chu Li looked into his eagle eyes and said, "After I help you overturn the case, how about we drink together?"
The smile on Liu Chuang's face froze, and he looked at Zhang Zhilong behind Chu Li.
Zhang Zhilong nodded, "Your Highness has made great contributions. Please allow His Majesty to overturn your case!"
Liu Chuang's heart trembled, he looked at Chu Li, "Your Highness, I can't give you any benefits!"
Chu Li smiled, "Then let's be friends!"
Liu Chuang frowned, "I can't help you kill anyone either!"
Chu Li crossed his arms, "You're overthinking. It's easy for me to kill anyone I want. I just can't stand seeing a good man being wrongly accused. I have nothing to do anyway, so helping you overturn the case will also make me famous."
Liu Chuang and Zhang Zhilong looked at each other, and Zhang Zhilong nodded again. Liu Chuang finally believed what Chu Li said.
Chu Li looked at the prison that seemed like an iron wall, and Lu Dongchen seemed to be taking special care of Liu Chuang.
Afraid that he would run away, they actually locked him up with several chains.
Chu Li stepped into the prison, picked up a knife, and cut one of the chains with a single blow.
Zhang Zhilong's eyes widened, "Your Highness, no!"
