Crowned with Pearls

  Chapter 1144 One hundred and forty-three · limelight

   Mr. Wang went home and stayed for one day, and then stayed in the yamen for several days.

   But this time, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang didn't worry about him anymore, because the whole capital knew what happened - this time Yunnan really gave a big gift to the imperial court and Emperor Yuanfeng!

  Two days before the birthday of Emperor Feng of Yuan, the envoy from Yunnan, who was surnamed Tan, finally arrived in the capital and gave him a birthday gift.

  On the first day the Longevity Boxing Ceremony was delivered to the Ministry of Rites, Sun Yongning, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had just returned to the Ministry of Rites, was taken aback, and he couldn't contain his excitement, and directly brought Mr. Tan to see Emperor Yuanfeng.

It stands to reason that Emperor Yuanfeng will summon Mr. Tan the next day. This is because Mr. Tan has returned from Yunnan. After all, Yunnan is now at a critical moment, and he can send birthday gifts to the capital. All parties are paying attention. .

   Only this time, Emperor Yuanfeng did not follow common sense.

   After he met Sun Yongning, he immediately summoned Master Tan.

Mr. Tan is a capable person, otherwise he would not have been with Governor Liao for so many years. He had been in Yunnan for so long. After being summoned by Emperor Yuanfeng, he also suppressed his inner excitement. He heard Emperor Yuanfeng ask this group of people. As for the origin of the firearm, he hurriedly presented Governor Liao's memorial.

   Yuanfeng Emperor unfolded it and read it again, his face was solemn at first, and then he couldn't help but praised a few times in a row!

   Then, he picked up the cannon on the table, and after observing it repeatedly, he asked the Minister of Works to call in and show him the cannon, so he could see what it was.

  The Minister of Works was a little dazed at first. When he saw the fire gun, he thought it was a problem with the fire gun of the Shenji Camp, but when he took the fire gun, he immediately knew that something was wrong. These fire guns are not the batch of fire guns that their Ministry of Industry made and sent to the Shenji Camp!

   Neither of the calibers nor the place where the gunpowder is loaded are compatible.

   Then this is. He opened his mouth to look at Emperor Yuanfeng.

   Emperor Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows at him: "Aiqing, are you interested in paying me to try this fire gun?"

  The Minister of Industry was also full of confusion at this time, and was also full of curiosity about this fire gun, and hurriedly said: "I am honored!"

  Emperor Yuanfeng convened several members of the cabinet, together with Master Tan and Sun Yongning, and went to Jingshan.

There are also a lot of animals raised on Jingshan for the occasional entertainment of these princesses and concubines. Emperor Yuanfeng was not a person who likes to have fun, so he did not come to Jingshan often, but this time, he was in a much better mood than before. Seeing a sika deer galloping and frightened in the distance, he raised the fire gun in his hand attentively, and aimed at the sika deer in accordance with the method taught by Master Tan and the instructions of the Minister of Industry.

  The timid civil servant was taken aback by the loud noise.

   Even the elders of the cabinet, who had some disapproval before, couldn't help but stand up.

   The sika deer fell to the ground in response, and the fire gun in Emperor Yuanfeng's hand was still smoking.

   This power. This range.

   It is much easier to use than the fire guns that Shenjiying is using now!

The Minister of Industry couldn't help being surprised, and asked Mr. Tan in surprise and delight: "How can you have this fire gun in Yunnan? Where did you make it? How many did you make? Can you bring the drawings? This fire gun, Have you tested it? What are the hidden dangers?"

   He asked a series of questions at once, and was already a little incoherent with excitement.

   Even the big bosses in the cabinet stared at Master Tan with piercing eyes, also full of shock.

It was the first time for Master Tan to be questioned by so many high-ranking officials at the same time. No matter how prudent he was, he couldn't hold back. Fortunately, he adjusted very quickly, and he reacted immediately, explained it to them again, and said: "Now the craftsman As for the drawings and masters, the Governor specially asked me to bring the drawings this time, and there are two masters who participated in the whole process of the craftsmanship."

  The Minister of Industry did not care that Emperor Yuanfeng was also present, and immediately shouted: "Okay! Excellent! Governor Liao is really capable!"

  Emperor Yuanfeng didn't blame the Minister of Industry for his arrogance. After all, he was very happy now.

  With this blueprint and a master, you can have as many fire guns as you want in the future, and I heard that this fire gun is better and more stable than the one used by the Shenji Camp, so after the Shenji Camp is equipped with this thing, isn’t it even better? Needless to say, the security of the capital is a fortress.

   Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly thought of a farther and deeper place, and laughed: "This is the best birthday gift I have ever received, reward!"

  Dongzhong and Shangxia also got the news soon.

After knowing this, even the Empress Dowager Tian couldn't help asking Emperor Yuanfeng. Knowing that it was really a firearm, she was not only happy for Emperor Yuanfeng and the court, but also a little worried: "Emperor, Liao Jingxu's book is also in the book. Having said that, the origin of this fire gun was brought by the remnants. Their original plan was to destroy the major event of reclaiming Yunnan. The Aijia was worried that if they can do this now, they will do more extreme things in the future. , they can make fire guns, if they have something more powerful than fire guns in their hands?"

   After all, if you can make a fire gun, you may also be able to make a cannon!

  Emperor Yuanfeng's expression also sank, and these worries have long been in his heart.

   He shook his head: "Now is not the time to clean them up, we can't mess up anymore."

   In the past few years, many nobles and high-ranking officials have been killed. In fact, the situation in the DPRK and China has been slightly turbulent.

   And Yunnan's victory this time is naturally a good thing, but at the same time, if there is any big dispute on the southeast side, the imperial court may not be able to fully support Yunnan.

   Besides, this year, there were floods in Jiangxi and Hunan, and there was a severe drought in Henan.

   He said: "I believe that Ah Heng has something in his heart."

The Empress Dowager Tian laughed: "Speaking of this, Aijia really wants to see what he looks like now. When I went there, it was white and clean, standing there like a green bamboo, who would have thought that he really Can you lead troops to fight? You are eager to do this thing so well, it really makes you look good. And that girl Su Yao, don't say it, besides thinking about Aheng, the Aijia thinks about Su Yao the most. Yes. When she was in the capital and the palace, Aijia didn't feel that, but when she left, Aijia really felt extremely lonely."

   Who else can be as patient as Su Yao, sitting in front of the Buddha for an afternoon, accompany her to pick up Buddha beans?

   And those sutras of Princess Jingming were all copied by Su Yao.

   Speaking of Su Yao, Emperor Yuanfeng also had a smile on his face: "The queen mother really likes her."

  The Empress Dowager Tian did not hide her love for Su Yao: "Aijia thinks that she is a little closer than Aijia's own niece and grandniece before."
