Yuwenhao went to find Emperor Mingyuan and asked about gunpowder weapons. Emperor Mingyuan didn't know about it, and even the Supreme Emperor had never told him.

The Taifu Wei came and asked if there had been any record, but Taifu Wei said that he had never recorded the use of gunpowder weapons in any war. When Taifu Wei spoke, he was hesitant and obviously knew some inside story.

"However, the Supreme Emperor said that he had only used one battle, and then he was banned by Master Hui. Although these weapons cannot be compared with the chariots of the Great Zhouyan, they are also of great use. My sons suggested that the Ministry of War could continue to be developed." Yuwen Hao said.

Emperor Mingyuan was a little hesitant, "Since Master Huizong issued a strict order to ban these weapons, I feel it is not easy to disobey his old man's will."

Yuwen Hao was anxious, "Father, now we buy the chariots of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is very lethal. We will also use them on the battlefield. Why can we buy other people's things, but we can't study them by ourselves? This time, when Hui Zong was in charge, Prince Anfeng guarded the border, and the barbarians from all directions dared not attack, but now the Beimo is eyeing it, and the wolf ambitions must be guarded."

Emperor Mingyuan thought about it, "What did your emperor grandfather say about this?"

"He said he didn't object, but he didn't agree."

Emperor Mingyuan was silent for a moment, "I am not able to make a decision if he didn't issue this order."

In other words, he was unwilling to be a person who disobeyed the will of Emperor Hui Zong.

Yu Wenhao sighed, "Father, you think about it. You don't have to tell the world about this matter. The Ministry of War will study it privately. When it comes to research, whether to use it or not, this is a later story."

Emperor Mingyuan said, "The ban on the Emperor Huizong should be unwilling to be in a state of military and military power. Moreover, his worries are reasonable. The killing is too deep and will always cause disasters for the country. Now there are rumors among the people. If the news of the weapon research is spread, there will be chaos again. Of course, Beimo and Hong Lie joined forces to deal with the Great Zhou because the Great Zhou was developing a chariot, and they were afraid that the Great Zhou would grow stronger and threaten them. If the Great Zhou did not have Chen Jingting, they would not be able to defend it."

Yuwen Hao said, "Father, that's it, but in today's Great Zhou, who dares to humiliate the crisis lightly, but there is a chance if there is danger. If we want to become a powerful country, we must display our weapons and equipment. The Great Zhou will not always be in good terms with the Northern Tang. We have to consider the great Tang Dynasty for thousands of years. We do not invade, but we must have a solid defense."

Emperor Mingyuan said, "If you want to defend, then build a city wall, wouldn't it be better?"

Yu Wenhao was defeated by Emperor Mingyuan's words. He knew that his father was afraid that Beimo would invade a large number of weapons, but now the war may also be triggered. If you really want to fight this battle, then fight.

He knew it would be difficult to persuade his father for a while, so he had to find another way.

After leaving the palace and returning to the house, Yuan Qingling knew that he had hit a nail and said, "How is it?"

"These weapons were indeed used on the battlefield, but Master Huizong later issued an order to ban them, and the historians were not allowed to record them. I don't know why, but the emperor's grandfather only said that he was banned by Master Huizong, but I think there should be another reason, otherwise, why was it not recorded in history?"

"The elderly generals in the court should know," said Yuan Qingling.

Yu Wenhao's heart moved and immediately ordered to go to Yuan's mansion to invite the wife of Dingguo to come over.

The lady of Dingguo knew that the prince had summoned him and there must be something important, so she did not delay and came over immediately.

When Yuwenhao heard about gunpowder weapons, she was stunned, "There are still in the Ministry of War."

"Yes, Mrs. Dingguo knows how to use those weapons," Yu Wenhao asked.

The eyes of Mrs. Dingguo slowly injected vitality and excitedly, "Isn't it all destroyed?"

"Some are in the cellar, but not many are." Yuwen Hao said.

Mrs. Dingguo slowly put down her crutch, her eyes were distant, and her excitement became more and more obvious. "At that time, these weapons were indeed used on the battlefield. Our army had 10,000 defeated the enemy 100,000. I was fortunate to participate in this war. It was so thunderous. You must not imagine how our ten thousand soldiers fought a formation of a million heroes."

"Why was it banned later?" Yuan Qingling asked.

Mrs. Dingguo said, "In that battle, 50,000 enemies were killed and 10,000 prisoners were captured. On the battlefield, blood flowed into rivers and corpses piled up like mountains. After returning to the court, the literati in the country accused us of the Northern Tang generals of bloodthirsty and poisonous. Even the enemy, women, children and elderly people were not spared. That year, the Northern Tang Dynasty had severe floods, flooded several towns and displaced people. Those literati said that it was the cruelty of the generals, which caused natural disasters."

Yuan Qingling's heart moved, "That year, there wouldn't be several people in the royal family getting pregnant, right?"

Mrs. Dingguo was surprised, "How did the Crown Princess know?"

Yuwen Hao and his wife looked at each other and immediately understood that the so-called dead trees in the royal family are spring, the flood in Huaijiang is the same as the people are displaced, which actually implies that the disaster that year was the royal family's injustice and is the same as it is now.

Someone deliberately wanted to create the same rumors as before.

Yuwenhao thought to himself that his father probably knew these things, but because of the will of Master Hui, he could not mention it as a later emperor. Because of this, he opposed the creation of weapons, fearing that this time the flood would point to the innocence of the royal family again.

No wonder I felt that when Mr. Wei’s statement was not recorded, I was a little hesitant and wanted to speak but stopped.

"How did Master Hui calm this matter back then?" Yu Wenhao asked.

Mrs. Dingguo said, "At that time, Emperor Xian had not ascended the throne, but Emperor Xian was in power. Many people in the court accused the generals and even forced Emperor Hui to kill Prince Anfeng and his wife to calm the wrath of heaven."

Yuwenhao said angrily, "Isn't it ridiculous that he has made military achievements, but he has to face the danger of beheading?"

"Yes, but fortunately, Emperor Xian did not do as he did. He even rewarded the military generals and soldiers who made contributions in this battle, calmed down public opinion, and controlled floods. Prince Anfeng became the hot grandson in the court."

Yu Wenhao breathed a little relieved, but then he was puzzled, "Since Emperor Xian did not deal with Prince Anfeng and did not ban gunpowder weapons, why did Mr. Huizong later ban it after he ascended the throne?"

Mrs. Dingguo lowered her voice, "There is a saying that I am really disrespectful to me, but that's the truth. After Master Huizong ascended the throne, the Huaijiang River was seriously plagued by the war. Someone in the court said that Master Huizong could not withstand the pressure and issued an order to burn the weapons. Master Huizong was never as tough as Emperor Xian."

Although Mrs. Dingguo's words were a bit disrespectful, Yu Wenhao believed that it was a fact.

Mrs. Dingguo said, "When the prince took over the Ministry of War, there were rumors about flying stones from the sky. I think someone knew that the prince would show these weapons in the warehouse, so he spread rumors in advance because he was afraid that the prince would continue to research these weapons."

"Madam thinks, who will deliberately prevent it?" Yu Wenhao asked.

Mrs. Dingguo thought for a while, "At that time, Chu Fu's father Chu Huan was once the Minister of Shangshu Ling and colluded with Prince Yu to the people of the Qin family in Beimo. Prince Yu was killed by Man Mie, but a lot of news was leaked to the Qin family in Beimo that the people of the Qin family would always pay attention to these weapons, so it is very likely that the people of the Beimo were still making trouble."
