In front of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Di caressed the three oddly-shaped cannons.
However, after looking for a long time, he could not figure out anything.
Like a cannon!
However, there were multiple cannons inside.
But it didn't seem like it! But this thing was a giant cannon!
"Monkey, do you know what's going on?”
Zhu Zhanji smiled awkwardly." If Grandpa doesn't know, then I don't know either."”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was about to kick him, but Zhu Zhanji cleverly dodged it.
"You little monkey, you're as cunning as your father!”
"Go and call Minister of Works Song Li.”
"Yes, Grandpa."
Under the emperor's orders, the Minister of Works, Song Li, hurried over and bowed.""Song Li greets Your Majesty.”
"Zhen An!"
Zhu Di said indifferently, his hands on his hips,""Song Li, I called you over because I want you to help me see what this thing is.”
"It was someone from your Ministry of Works who helped the King of Liang.”
When Song Li heard this, he was stunned. He quickly came forward and sized up the giant cannon.
However, as Song Li observed more and more carefully, the expression on his face became more and more complicated, and finally, he was shocked!!!
Zhu Di stood at the side. Seeing that Song Li was silent for a long time, he said impatiently,"What's wrong? Are you mute?"
After a long time, Song Li cupped his hands and said in shock,""Your Majesty, I am certain that this item was not made by the Ministry of Works.”
"This item…This thing can be called a divine item!"
When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a curious expression. He asked,"What do you mean?"
Song Li's gaze stopped on the giant cannon, and he clicked his tongue in wonder,""Your Majesty, if I'm not wrong, this cannon can fire at least three cannonballs at once!”
" What?!"
"Three in one go?"
Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji were instantly stunned.
Zhu Di recalled what Zhu Gaoyan had said at that time and hurriedly asked,""Are you sure this item isn't from the Ministry of Works?”
Song Li nodded heavily and cupped his hands."I dare not lie to Your Majesty. This item indeed did not come from the Ministry of Works.”
As the Minister of Works, Song Li knew better than anyone else the importance of this cannon.
They couldn't even imagine how to do it, let alone create it.
Zhu Di looked at Song Li's serious face. He was shocked and ecstatic at the same time.
"Hahaha ~"
"Alright, alright!"
"This little bastard has given me a big gift!”
Zhu Di was extremely excited as he recalled everything that had happened before. He was even more certain of what he had guessed before.
"Monkey."
While Zhu Zhanji was stunned, he quickly bowed and said,""Grandpa."
"Where's your fourth uncle?"
"Fourth Uncle…Didn't Fourth Uncle follow him into the palace?”
Zhu Zhanji muttered softly, recalling the situation when he entered the palace.
The Crown Prince, the King of Han, and the King of Zhao entered the palace with the Emperor. The King of Liang was also among them.
However, after entering the palace, it seemed that the King of Liang had disappeared.
Just as Zhu Zhanji said this, Zhu Di seemed to suddenly remember something and slapped his thigh.""This is bad!"
"This little brat most likely went to the national treasury!!!”
"Quick, come with me to see your fourth uncle!”
...
Forbidden City, National Treasury.
Zhu Gaoyan, the King of Liang, ordered the eunuchs to clear out the treasures and artifacts that Zhu Di had seized from the expedition.
Under the sunlight, a dagger inlaid with various gemstones was dazzling.
"Wait, it's wrong for you to count like this.”
"Come, let me teach you."
Zhu Gaoyan walked over to the eunuchs.
Zhu Gaoyan picked up a few treasures and categorized them one by one.
"One for Father, one for me, one for me, and one for the national treasury."
When the eunuchs heard Zhu Gaoyan's words, they almost vomited blood.
These treasures did not have the Emperor's approval. If they were really classified according to the King of Liang's method, then more than half of these hundred treasures would fall into the King of Liang's pocket.
If the emperor knew about this, they would definitely lose their heads.
"Liang Wang, Liang Wang, please spare these servants!”
"If His Majesty finds out about this, these servants will lose their lives!”
"Your Highness, why don't you first obtain His Majesty's approval?”
"These things have to be deposited into the national treasury!”
Zhu Gaoyan looked at the bitter eunuchs and said calmly,""What are you panicking for? I'll take responsibility if anything happens.”
"Just do as I say."
Just as Zhu Gaoyan said this, a shout suddenly sounded behind him.
"Little brat!"
Zhu Di placed his hands on his hips and looked at Zhu Gaoyan helplessly.
"Zhen only brought back so many things from this expedition, and you took more than half.”
"Grandpa, don't be so stingy!" Zhu Gaoyan laughed playfully.”
"In ancient times, sons divided their family assets. It doesn't matter if I take something from my father!”
"You have a glib tongue!"
"I wonder who he learned this from.”
Zhu Di glared at him and pretended to be stern.
"My big brother!"
Zhu Gaoyan replied with a serious face, not caring about Nephew Gu who was standing at the side.
"Little brat."
"Come here, I have something to ask you!”
"Hey, okay!"
Just as Zhu Di was about to leave the treasury with Zhu Gaoyan, he turned around and said,""Just distribute it according to what the King of Liang said.”
......
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Gaoyan, who was playing on the spacious dragon chair, his face full of helplessness and sympathy for his father and uncles.
Why was the difference between the monkeys who were also imperial grandpas so huge?
In the entire world, only Fourth Uncle Zhu Gaoyan would dare to cause such a ruckus in front of his Imperial Grandfather without being punished.
"Alright, little brat, stop fooling around!”
"Father wants to ask you something serious."
Zhu Gaoyan looked at Zhu Di with his big, innocent eyes and nodded,""What business?"
Zhu Di squatted in front of Zhu Gaoyan and asked seriously,""Did you really make the cannons you gave me today?”
Zhu Gaoyan played with the gold on the dragon throne and pondered its value. He said impatiently,""Didn't I already say it!"
"Father, why are you so old and muddle-headed?”
"Speak properly!"
"Alright then! Fine!"
Zhu Gaoyan waved his hand helplessly and jumped down from the dragon throne.""I ordered some carpenters to do it!”
"I think our Ming Dynasty's Red Cannon can only fire one cannonball at a time. It's too troublesome!”
"Since I was bored, I got someone to make three bottles of cannons that can shoot six shots in a row!”
Hiss!
Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji gasped.
Shooting out six cannonballs in a row?
More terrifying than what the Minister of Works said?
And he was bored?
How old are you?
Could it be that the people in the Ministry of Works were all good-for-nothings? He was not even comparable to an eight-year-old child!!
