I'm so hard

Chapter 95 The Yuhua Bridge Exploded

After the turmoil of the Queen Mother Zhang incident, the next focus of the Great Zhou court's work was Zhao Yan's marriage.

The emperor's big wedding is naturally the top priority of the Great Zhou.

Although Zhao Yan does not advocate extravagance, this matter represents the face of the royal family of the Great Zhou after all, so various customs and etiquette are indispensable.

The Ministry of Rites has already drawn up the best auspicious day, the ninth day of September, the day of Double Ninth Festival.

There are still thirteen days before this day.

The six parts and the harem are already busy.

A series of items such as ceremonial guards, clothing, accessories, sedan chairs, wine and vegetables need to be done in accordance with additional regulations.

But the faces of Queen Mother Zhang and the officials of the six ministries were full of joy.

Zhao Yan never summoned the four girls from the last draft. Empress Dowager Zhang always cared about her, but Lu Nianwei won Zhao Yan's favor. Moreover, Empress Dowager Zhang looked at her body shape and seemed to be able to give birth to dragon species, so Thinking of Zhao Yan getting married soon, he couldn't help but feel extremely happy.

The faces of the three giants of the imperial court also became more rosy, and they always laughed continuously when they spoke.

When Zhao Yan got married and had children, Da Zhou would be regarded as a successor, and Zhao Yan's tried-and-true trick of "taking off the dragon robe" would not be so deterrent to the officials.

All the officials are busy, but Zhao Yan is relaxed.

On this day, the sky is bright and clear, and the wind is smooth.

A carriage was driving on Gongyuan Street in Changdan City.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Yan was wearing a white shirt, dressed like a scholar, very elegant.

Lu Nianwei was wearing a lavender dress, and her fair face exuded a noble and extraordinary temperament.

If these two stood in the middle of the street, they would instantly attract everyone's attention.

Today, the two are going to go to several bookstores on Gongyuan South Street, and talk about love by the way.

Zhao Yan took Lu Nianwei's hand and said, "Nianwei, you are so lucky to be able to marry me."

Lu Nianwei rolled her eyes and said: "Hmph, isn't it because you are begging for nothing to pursue me?"

Zhao Yan pulled Lu Nianwei into his arms and said, "I remember you threw yourself into my arms first."

……

The two were flirting and flirting in the carriage, while Hei Wa outside was driving the carriage while stealing snacks from Chui Gong Temple.

"boom!"

At this moment, a huge explosion sounded not far away.

The sound was very close to the carriage, and the surrounding ground trembled.

tear!
Hei Wa immediately pulled the carriage, stood on the carriage and looked up, and found that it was the Confucian Temple in the south that was stirring up huge dust, obviously there was an explosion there.

The surrounding people were also very surprised and ran towards the Confucian Temple.

At this moment, in the carriage, both Zhao Yan and Lu Nianwei almost missed the beam of the carriage.

Zhao Yan asked depressedly: "Hei Wa, what's going on, how could there be such a huge explosion."

"It's the explosion coming from the Confucian Temple in front. The specific reason is still unclear!" Hei Wa scratched his head and said, listening to his voice, it seemed that something had collapsed.

It is absolutely impossible to make such a huge noise with human power alone.

"Let's go and have a look!" Zhao Yan said.

Confucian Temple, the place dedicated to Confucius, the most sage of Confucianism, is a sacred place in the hearts of scholars all over the world. Although this year is not the three-year imperial examination period, many scholars still come here to worship, including going to the next door Gongyuan to listen to some great Confucian lectures.

There was a huge explosion there, it must not be a trivial matter.

When the three of Zhao Yan appeared in the Confucian Temple, many people were already surrounded inside.

The place where the explosion happened was not in the main hall, but the Yuhua Bridge from the front yard to the middle of the main hall.

Yuhua Bridge, as the name suggests, is the place where carp jump over the Dragon Gate. In order to be famous on the list, many scholars often walk on Yuhua Bridge in order to gain a good reputation.

Now, the rupture of Yuhua Bridge is naturally an ominous omen in the eyes of scholars.

More importantly, the Yuhua Bridge was not broken, but blown up.

The Yuhua Bridge was completely broken, and the second half was directly turned into stone fragments, and the stream below was also blown into a big hole, with a dozen blown carp lying on both sides.

Obviously, this was done on purpose.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

"This... this... must have been blown up by someone with firecrackers. It's insulting to the old master Confucius, and it also blows up the way for us scholars to become officials next year. We must report to the government and we must catch this murderer!" The scholar said angrily.

His words were instantly echoed by several scholars, and they walked together and went straight to the Changdan city government office not too far away.

When Zhao Yan heard the word "explosion", he suddenly became excited. He took a deep breath and smelled a strong pungent smell.

This taste is very similar to the taste of gunpowder in later generations.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed.

According to his understanding, most of Da Zhou's firecrackers currently use explosives. The power of explosives is limited. Within a range of one meter, it can at most cause skin trauma, so there is no explosives in the army.

But gunpowder is different.

The explosive power of gunpowder is astonishing. If someone in Dazhou invented gunpowder, even if the smelting technology is not in place and the gunpowder cannot be made, but the simple gunpowder mine is still much more lethal than cold weapons.

Looking at the scale of the explosion around him, Zhao Yan was almost certain that this kind of explosive was infinitely close to gunpowder. If it could be used in the army, Da Zhou would be able to form an invincible army immediately.

No matter how powerful the cavalry of Northern Mongolia is, no matter how fast the impact is, they cannot withstand thousands of gunpowder mines.

The more Zhao Yan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he said directly to Hei Wa: "Hei Wa, go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice immediately, and ask Sun Houshi and Ma Shichang to quickly find out the person who blew up the Yuhua Bridge, and send him directly to me.

"Yes." Hei Wa replied, and then quickly ran out of the courtyard. With Lu Nianwei, a powerful guard, there would be no problem with Zhao Yan's life.

Then, Zhao Yan and Lu Nianwei continued to go shopping, finally had a chance to get along romantically with his sweetheart, Zhao Yan naturally didn't want to be swept away by other things.

At this moment, dozens of scholars have gathered in the Changdan City Government Office.

They all came for the bombing of Yuhua Bridge, and demanded that the prefect Liu Wenchen must severely punish the murderer.

Liu Wenchen is an old slicker in Changdan City, he is good at playing around the wind, last time he was fined for half a year because of the incident in Fugui Village, he still remembers it.

But this time it was about the scholars of the Zhou Dynasty, he didn't dare to neglect, and immediately dispatched a large number of government servants, and went to the Confucian Temple for inspection.

As soon as he finished his work, Ma Shichang, the servant of the Criminal Ministry, came to the government office and told Liu Wenchen that when the Yuhua Bridge was bombed, His Majesty was nearby, and His Majesty asked that after the murderer was found, he must be sent to him as soon as possible.

"Ah? This matter is related to His Majesty!" Liu Wenchen became anxious immediately, and immediately rushed towards the Confucian Temple with Ma Shichang.

If the real culprit is not found out today, not only the scholars in Changdan City will scold him, but His Majesty the current emperor may even want to dismiss him.

Liu Wenchen didn't want to lose the fame he had gained after spending more than ten years, so he immediately started to investigate himself.
