He did not know what happened after that.
He only knew that the woman from the Western Regions had been taken away by Zhang shi, saying that she would stay by her side as a maid.
He also taught her the etiquette and official language of the Ming Dynasty.
He didn't know how Zhu Zhanji had settled it, but in the end, Zhang Shi didn't find trouble with him.
"Forget it, I'll just stay here and cultivate.”
Zhu Zhan Xin also understood.
……
The next day.
In the royal study, Zhu Di looked at the memorial in front of him and could not help but pinch the space between his eyebrows.
Now that he saw these memorials, he had a headache. The matter of cultivating the immortal technique had not been settled yet, and he still had to deal with so many things. It really made him a little annoyed.
But he had to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, why are you so worried?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. Zhu Di looked up and saw a monk in a black robe standing at the door.
It was none other than the black-robed Prime Minister, Yao Guangxiao.
"Why are you here?"
"This Penniless Monk saw that the Emperor had not been here for many days, so he came to visit.”
Zhu Di smiled.
"You came to see me because of this? You probably can't wait for me not to disturb your peace, sit.”
Yao Guangxiao didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.
"I see that Your Majesty looks tired. Is there something bothering you?”
"I'm annoyed by these memorials. They don't let me rest day by day.”
Zhu Di sighed.
"Ruling the country for the people is the king's business.”
Yao Guangxiao said.
"You."
Zhu Di shook his head.
"Tell me, why didn't you stay in Jichao Temple and come to my place instead?”
"I do have something important to ask."
Yao Guangxiao didn't hide anything. Then, his expression changed and he looked at Zhu Di solemnly.
"Recently, I observed that the fate of the Great Ming Dynasty has changed, but my speculations were fruitless. I have come to ask Your Majesty if anything important has happened in the Great Ming Dynasty recently.”
Hearing this, Zhu Di immediately sat upright.
He believed Yao Guangxiao's divination very much. When he was still a vassal king, Yao Guangxiao had pointed to him and said that he would definitely ascend to the throne in the future.
"Has the fate of the country changed?"
Zhu Di asked nervously.
Yao Guangxiao smiled.
"Your Majesty, do you want to know my speculation?”
Zhu Di nodded.
"According to my previous speculation, the fate of the Great Ming Empire will rise like the sun in the next few decades.”
Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.
"If that's the case, why didn't Grandmaster say so that day?”
Zhu Di was a little puzzled.
Yao Guangxiao shook his head.
"Your Majesty, do you know that the sun will set one day?”
Zhu Di's expression instantly changed. He understood what Yao Guangxiao meant.
"You mean that my Great Ming can only maintain its prosperity for a few decades?”
Yao Guangxiao didn't answer, but that was the truth. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hidden it from Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was silent for a moment and then looked at him.
"Since Grandmaster said this today, I believe that the fate of the country has changed.”
"Your Majesty is wise."
Yao Guangxiao smiled, but then he frowned.
"Speaking of which, it's strange. Recently, I've been observing the fate of the country. There's actually a faint sign of a hidden dragon. What's even more strange is that this hidden dragon's aura is still brewing. This Penniless Monk doesn't know how high this dragon will fly.”
As he spoke, he sighed with emotion. It was precisely because of this huge change that he specially came to look for Zhu Di.
When Zhu Di heard this, he instantly thought of Zhu Zhanyu. Other than him, what else could affect the fate of the country like this?
However, he did not expect Yao Guangxiao to discover this.
"Your Majesty, is there really nothing important happening recently?”
Yao Guangxiao asked again.
Zhu Di thought about it. Although he knew the reason, it was too important for him to say it.
However, even if he didn't say anything, he was afraid that Yao Guangxiao would calculate something. He was still very afraid of Yao Guangxiao on this point.
As he thought about it, he suddenly remembered something.
"Look at my brain. I've been so busy recently that I almost forgot. There's indeed something important that happened.”
Then, Zhu Di told him about the gunpowder. Of course, he didn't say that Zhu Zhanyu had made it, but that the craftsmen had improved it themselves.
After hearing Zhu Di's words, Yao Guangxiao was also surprised. He was not a monk who did not know the truth. He had once helped Zhu Di conquer the world.
He naturally knew what the gunpowder was.
"Can you let This Penniless Monk experience it?"
Yao Guangxiao suggested.
"Of course you can."
Zhu Di didn't stop this matter. Then, he brought Yao Guangxiao to Wang Gong Factory.
At this time, Wang Gong Factory was already fully producing the new gunpowder, and in order to adapt to the cannon, they were still experimenting.
When they saw Zhu Di, they immediately took out two batches of gunpowder and started testing them on the test field.
Their targets were the same number of wooden puppets.
They first tested the old gunpowder. They pushed out a few cannons and skillfully placed the shells in.
After that, it was ignited and launched.
After a few rounds of bombardment, the group of wooden puppets had already been shattered.
Yao Guangxiao nodded when he saw this scene. This firearm was indeed a great weapon of the Ming Dynasty.
Next, it was the experiment of the new gunpowder. What surprised Yao Guangxiao was that the target of this experiment was not only farther, but the cannon also seemed to be heavier.
"Your Majesty, how can this cannonball hit so far?”
Yao Guangxiao was surprised.
This distance was already twice as far as before. Could this new type of cannon really reach it?
Zhu Di didn't say anything and gestured for him to continue watching.
On the other side, after setting up the position, they immediately ignited the fire and fired.
With just one volley, the target was destroyed.
When Yao Guangxiao saw this scene, he was instantly stunned. He had finally witnessed the power of this new type of gunpowder.
Not only was the shooting range greatly increased, but the power was also several times stronger than before.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. With such a weapon, our Great Ming will never be at war.”
Yao Guangxiao cupped his hands and praised.
Zhu Di also smiled, then Yao Guangxiao counted with his fingers.
"Although we haven't cleared the clouds yet, the change in the fate of the country is indeed related to this gunpowder.”
Hearing this, Zhu Di instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
He thought that he had finally fooled him. As for the gunpowder, to be honest, he would have treated it as a treasure in the past.
But now that he had the immortal technique, he did not care much.
When he became an immortal, he would be able to destroy Wala and Tartar by himself. Would the Ming army be needed?
"Since the fate of the country is clear, this penniless monk will take his leave.”
After figuring out the reason, Yao Guangxiao didn't want to stay.
"Master, take care."
He thought to himself that this fellow had finally left. He had to hurry back and cultivate. He had been delayed for so long.
