I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 752
Judging Cai Bian's behavior from various aspects, it seems that Cai Bian is just a caring person.But Zhao Xi always had some doubts.

The crown prince and many princes went out of the palace to practice, this is a clear event in the court, it was written by Zhao Xi as a permanent rule, and it was also announced to the public.Some of the courtiers were worried, but it was reasonable.

From this point of view, Cai Bian can remove the suspicion.

However, not everyone knows about the whereabouts of the prince and other princes, as well as the status of their appointments. This is kept secret within a certain range.

The suggestion from the Ministry of Rites is to call the prince back to court... This shows that he knows the fact that the prince is not in Bianliang.Moreover, when the prince was in Yizhou before, he participated in politics for several consecutive terms, and the Dachaohui would return to the court.

The Ministry of Rites suggested calling the prince back to court, which meant that the person who made the suggestion knew the current position of the prince.

"Zhongzheng, do you know where Cai Jing works?"

"I know that Cai Jing works on Jinghu Road!"

Jinghu Road...Chengdu Road seems irrelevant, but Zhao Xi feels that he is about to find a connection with each other.

"Try to see if you can get the correspondence between the Cai brothers, and be careful not to expose it."

······
At present, Cai Bian, the sixth-rank rite doctor with the brightest future, caught fire in his house. For Bianliang, water leakage accidents often occur at the turn of spring and summer, and no one takes it seriously.

Even if Cai Bian’s family’s trouble started from the study, it was because his family member forgot to extinguish the candle and also forgot to close the windows, which caused the books to be ignited after the candle fell down, thus setting the whole study on fire.

The patrolling and extinguishing was timely, and the scope of flood damage was limited to the study room...

No one paid attention to the funeral, and even the scope of discussion was very limited.

After this incident, those who pay close attention to the details of the court will find that the cabinet ministers and some deliberators have terminated the contracts of some family servants, even if they pay a certain amount of compensation.

"This is not a good job!"

Zhao Xi didn't know about the dismissal of the servants by the cabinet ministers and the councilors, Wang Zhongzheng honestly reported it.He did not expect such an impact.

"Small confession!"

"Let's withdraw all the detectives from the courtiers' homes. Now that the northwest is not peaceful, let's send everyone to work in the northwest. There should be no less compensation, and it will be drawn from the inner government."

It was originally a very secret matter, but this time, the entire system was exposed.Alas... Zhao Xi had to make an attitude.

Therefore, Wang Zhongzheng, the governor of the imperial city, fined his salary for one year and downgraded it by two levels.

Zhao Xi and the ministers and workers tacitly maintained that face, and did not argue on the table.

There is no basis for this kind of thing, even if you know it well, you can't make sense on the stage.Wang Zhongzheng's punishment can be said to be due to the handling of the attack on the prince.

And when I got the family letter from Cai Jing and Cai Bian, it was really clear that the reason why Cai Bian made a suggestion in the Ministry of Rites was because of his elder brother Cai Jing's reminder... he believed that such an initiative was a good way to make friends with the prince.

The family letter did not mention the content of the prince's tenure.

Even though Zhao Xi already had a direction, the reasons were still insufficient.The point is that neither Cai Jing nor Cai Bian had the motive to attack the prince, but what they expressed in their letters was loyalty.

It's a bit tricky, even Zhao Xi feels it's a bit tricky.

"Officials, Gongfang Chengsu discusses politics and asks to see..."

The so-called Su Yizheng of Workshop City refers to Su Song, who in Zhao Xi's eyes is a person who has truly contributed to the entire era, and who has transformed Zhao Xi's messy and fragmented knowledge into the knowledge of this era.

"Zi Rong... Zhongzheng, give me a seat quickly..."

Zhao Xi put aside the dirty things in his mind.Chatting with Su Song always makes Zhao Xi feel refreshed. This is a person who is very close to science, and his profound knowledge is even admired by Zhao Xi who has more than a thousand years of experience.

"Officials, the minister reports on the exploration situation in Xingqing, Yinxia, ​​and even the entire Dangxiang-controlled area. Officials, the exploration situation is not optimistic. In the Dangxiang-controlled area, no other minerals have been surveyed for the time being except for coal... "..."

"Shen Cunzhong and Chen have almost traveled through most of the areas controlled by the party members. From the areas that have been explored, except for coal, only the cement industry can be developed in the areas controlled by the party. The minister believes that in terms of the current demand for coal by the state government , the development of coal in the area originally controlled by Dangxiang can be postponed."

"The northwestern region is still dominated by the green salt industry. I believe that we will continue to maintain the pattern of the green salt industry, selectively develop carbon dioxide, and carry out necessary controls. The cement industry can be liberalized as appropriate..."

Su Song understood that the reason why the war between the country and the court was unanimously passed by the court and received such strong support from the court and the public was because the officials had set an example before, and the pursuit of interests by the court and the public was the most fundamental.

"I'm sure. The survey data will be kept as top secret, and Zirong will take the lead to announce the survey results in the court..."

In this era, Su Song already has the so-called sustainable development concept, and Zhao Xi has no reason not to support it.

"The officials and ministers think that the water and soil moisturizing mentioned by the officials should be given priority in the area controlled by the party. In addition, Cunzhong and the ministers also conducted exploration on the places where water conservancy facilities can be built to alleviate the flood... ···”

With that said, Su Song presented the memorial... This cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

"Officials, in fact, the most important thing about my minister's meeting today is that after returning to the court, I also paid attention to the attack on the crown prince..."

Su Song paused, and saw that the official's face didn't change much, so he continued: "Officer, forgive me for not being guilty! I checked the scene where the prince was attacked by myself, and the remains of firearms collected by the soldiers, including gunpowder and bullets Wait."

"While examining these on-site items, I found that the scene where the prince was attacked was not just the remains of the standard firearms of the prince's guard..."

"What? Firearm leak?"

Zhao Xi couldn't help being nervous, the prince was safe and sound in the attack, but if the firearm technology leaked, it would not be as simple as the prince being attacked, it would be a disaster for the country.

"Yes and no. According to my inspection and judgment, the residues left at the scene of the prince's attack are not only the fifth-generation gunpowder residues equipped by the army of the current dynasty. Among the residues left at the scene, I found that there are first-generation, Second-generation firearm residue."

"The officials also know that the muskets of the new army of the country are based on the suggestions of the officials. The warheads are tapered, and the purification of gunpowder has also been greatly improved. However, I found bead-shaped warheads in the leftover residue, and the last Remnants of early gunpowder ratios..."

Su Song's interview this time, and the exploration of the area controlled by Dangxiang, were all incidental, and what Su Song said at the end was what Su Song thought must be reported to the officials as soon as possible.
