Chapter 862
"Otherwise, once the news of the Japanese pirates' defeat gets back and that evil monk learns about it, he will definitely make trouble again!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded solemnly, and then said:
"Jin must be thoroughly investigated, and all officials involved must be executed. Otherwise, if they dare to sell cannons today, they will dare to sell red cannons tomorrow!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had witnessed the power of the Red Cannon with his own eyes, and his biggest worry was that it would fall into the hands of the enemy.
In comparison, the big iron cannon is an outdated product after all. Although it is important, its power and range are far inferior to the red cannon.
Human greed is endless. If the issue of the big iron cannon is not dealt with, it is only a matter of time before the red cannon is sold.
If, like artillery, the enemy obtains the method of making the red cannon, they will use it to attack the Ming Dynasty.
This is what Zhu Yuanzhang could not tolerate the most. Of course, this is just Zhu Yuanzhang thinking too much.
Not to mention the differences in metallurgical technology, just talking about metal processing technology, the Ming Dynasty's technology was centuries ahead of other countries.
The Red Cannon is so powerful because of the fine processing of industrial machine tools and the high-precision measurement of micrometers.
The airtightness of the gun barrel is guaranteed. Without these two artifacts, even if the enemy makes it, its power may not be as strong as that of a big iron cannon.
If the enemy wants to achieve the power of the Ming Dynasty's red cannon, they will probably have to spend dozens or even hundreds of years researching it.
So even though he knew Zhu Yuanzhang's worries, Wei Wu did not say anything because there was no need.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to talk to Zhu Biao.
"However, a thorough investigation of the Jin matter requires further consideration. This matter involves the Third Brother, and the Prince of Jin is, after all, the prince of the Ming Dynasty."
"If this matter has nothing to do with him, it's fine. But if he really did it, what are the officials and the people going to do?"
"Therefore, before we find out the truth of the matter, we shouldn't make too much of a fuss, otherwise people will use it as an excuse to attack the court."
Wei Wu listened from the side and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Indeed, the reasons Zhu Yuanzhang gave were correct.
But this may not be without selfish motives. Not wanting to make too much noise can also be said to be a way to protect King Jin.
If Prince Jin is really involved, then he can still find a way to manipulate it without leaking the news.
After all, he is the child of him and Empress Ma. Even if he is not as good as Zhu Biao, his relationship with him is still more special than that with other princes.
Of course, the punishment will not be less, such as deprivation of the throne or life imprisonment, but as long as his life is saved, it will be fine.
Wei Wu would not blame a father too much for wanting to save his son's life.
After all, if the same thing happened to him, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice!
Licking one's calf is a normal human nature, and everyone has it!
So, after Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Wei Wu did not say anything, but just stood aside silently.
Anyway, someone will speak up, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is not the only one who is protecting his son.
Facts proved that Wei Wu's idea was correct. After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Biao immediately spoke.
"Dad, you're right. This matter must be investigated secretly. We can only take further action after finding out the truth!"
As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement, and then the entire Fengxian Hall fell silent.
Quiet!
The silence continues!
It’s so strangely quiet!
Neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Zhu Biao said anything. They just stood there quietly.
At first, Wei Wu could still hold on, but as time went by, he finally couldn't hold it anymore.
"I said……"
As soon as Wei Wu's voice appeared, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao immediately turned their heads to look at him.
Seeing this, Wei Wu sighed without disguising himself, and then slowly continued:
