Chapter 226: The Same Art
Everyone's topic began to diverge, and some family members whose elders were military generals began to talk about the magical weapons used in the counterattack against Tu Ning.
"The name of that magic weapon is gunpowder. Do you know how magical it is?"
"As long as it is buried underground in advance and a fuse is burned through, the enemy can be blown to pieces."
"Dayue is really full of extraordinary people and talents."
The young man looked so proud that the other students also became full of enthusiasm.
"This time we attacked Tuning with unstoppable force, but unfortunately we arrived too early and we didn't produce enough gunpowder."
"Otherwise, Wang Du would have grabbed it right away."
Bei Jingchu looked at Zhou Huanjiu silently, her mouth almost breaking from her grin.
Just as Zhou Huanjiu was about to open her mouth to speak, she quickly went over and covered her mouth.
"Well--"
I'm afraid she has a big mouth and can't keep it to herself.
She had been keeping a secret for a long time, and just as her friends were praising her to the sky in front of her, she felt like she couldn't hold back the feeling of showing off.
Bei Qin, who noticed the movement here, slowly put up a non-existent question mark on his head.
"It's okay, it's okay. Jiujiu and I are just playing. Cousin, you can play by yourself."
Bei Qin pointed his finger at Zhou Huanjiu uncertainly, and asked doubtfully: "But, she seems to be dying?"
Only then did she notice that her subordinate Zhou Huanjiu had rolled his eyes and his nose was blocked by the edge of her palm.
Bei Jingchu suddenly let go.
Damn it! She almost assassinated her own family member. If Aye knew about this, he would scold her to death.
There was still a discussion over there: "Who do you think invented gunpowder?"
"This must not have been invented just now, otherwise there would not be time to mass-produce it secretly."
"That person must be hidden like Xu Shaoqing."
"Now that the war has begun, it is almost time to reward people."
Xu Chengzhou joked, "It can't be the same as last time, where it's a certain female hero, right?"
Zhou Huanjiu on the side puffed out his lips and wanted to shout: It’s me, it’s me, it’s me!
But a princess nearby was staring at her as she was about to make a move. Zhou Huanjiu was afraid of being suffocated again, so she could only reluctantly lower her head and eat, not participating in the discussion at the table.
Ah Tan thought what Xu Cheng Zhou said was absurd: "How is that possible?"
"There's already a genius who's a woman, and now there's another one like this, and it's also a girl?"
"So has destiny favored women in recent years? Will the world be turned upside down in the future?"
He said this as if he was joking, and no one paid any attention.
At this time in the palace, Bei Yanyu, who was not allowed to leave the palace, went to find Yang Cainu in a depressed mood.
"Ah Niang, Ah Ye is bad."
"My eldest sister went out of the palace to play with her classmates. He didn't allow me and my younger brothers and sisters to go with her, saying that we often see my eldest sister in the palace."
"But I want to play with my elder sister and the others."
Yang Cainu held her daughter in her arms and muttered to herself absentmindedly: "She is really lucky..."
"Auntie?"
Yang Cainu smiled and said, "It's nothing, Yanyu. Mother was just saying that your elder sister is blessed with a good life. She was able to escape danger. It's really God's blessing."
Bei Yanyu nodded stupidly: "Yes, yes."
His silly look made Yang Cainu feel upset.
It seems that there is really no hope of avenging my family in this life?
During the days when Bei Jingchu was socializing everywhere, good news from the front line came one after another.
Zhou Huanjiu, who made the greatest contribution, naturally had to be rewarded.
She was summoned to the imperial study.
The emperor discussed with his little cousin: "We have won a great victory on the front line, and you are the great hero."
"But you have to think carefully. Once you are conferred the title, you will never be able to leave the capital again."
Zhou Huanjiu didn't understand. The emperor choked. He was not used to communicating with stupid children and had to explain every sentence clearly.
But considering that he was a great contributor, the plastic cousin also showed rare patience.
"Just like Xu Shaoqing who narrowly escaped death before returning to the capital, once your role is known to the world, it will attract the covetousness of enemy countries or rebels."
"For them, if they can't kidnap you, letting you die is better than you continuing to serve Dai Viet."
"And the capital is the most heavily guarded place. It's not safe to go out."
"Xu Shaoqing was in charge of agriculture and sericulture throughout the country, so he had to check around."
"You don't need it, so you are not allowed to leave the capital."
Zhou Huanjiu was stunned, thinking of the beautiful scenery he had read in the travel notes.
The sea was blue, the water and the sky were one color, and it was boundless. She had never seen it before and could not imagine it.
The mountains and rocks are so strange that after climbing up the mountain, it seems as if you can embrace the clouds.
She has never left the capital. If she agrees, she will be trapped in this city for the rest of her life.
She knelt down and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
"I am willing to leave the capital, and I hope to receive honor and glory."
The emperor closed the memorial.
"Okay, then from today on, you should call yourself a subject."
"And there's no need to go to Hongwenguan."
Zhou Huanjiu:!!!
That's a real surprise.
If she had known that she didn't have to go to school anymore, she wouldn't have hesitated for a moment.
Any hesitation would be disrespectful to those who don’t go to school!
The emperor said: "I will give you a nominal position in the Ministry of Works. Just focus on what interests you."
Zhou Huanjiu, who had never experienced the dangers of being a social animal, was foolishly looking forward to a bright future.
The next day, when the emperor said, "Should such meritorious officials also be ranked as dukes and marquises?"
The beginning was exactly the same as when Xu Xinshu was conferred the title, and the court officials had an ominous premonition.
The emperor continued with the same words: "I have also decided to appoint this man as the Military Equipment Supervisor."
It was not until Zhou Huanjiu came to the palace that the newly promoted officials in the past five years were suddenly shocked.
But the officials who had experienced Xu Xinshu's title of nobility were speechless. His Majesty's rhetoric really hadn't changed at all...
Naturally, some people raised doubts: "Your Majesty, it would have been fine if Xu Shaoqing was a woman before."
"This Lord Zhou is not even 16 years old yet."
"Just a total kid!"
"How is it possible... How is it possible..."
His kid is now at this age and he hasn’t even passed the exam to become a student.
The emperor's confidant Xu Lanqi played steadily and asked, "Isn't it a good thing that heroes emerge from young people in my Great Yue?"
"Isn't it a good thing that he can create a magical weapon at such a young age?"
"She is still a young girl, so until she dies, she can still make weapons for Dayue for decades in the future. Isn't that a good thing?"
The others were convinced, except Zhou Huanjiu, who was standing below, who felt that the words of the Minister of the Central Secretariat were impolite.
But the God of War, who was not very smart in interpersonal relationships, thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was rude.
