I'm a big dick

Chapter 14 Zhongzhi Calls Sun Degong

"Meow!" Xiaobai yelled, as if reminding the palace servants who were serving meals to pay attention, little paws lightly tapped the side of the plate.

Zhu Youxiao sneered and nodded, and the palace servant immediately took two pieces of marinated chicken and put them on an empty plate.

Xiaobai turned his head left and right, then walked to the Wusi tripe dish, stretched out his paw and nodded.

You are a cat, what chicken and tripe do you eat?
Zhu Youxiao took a look at the plate of fish that only moved one chopstick, and made it specially for Xiaobai, thinking that cats love fish, it seems that he is ignorant.

Xiaobai finished ordering, came to the plate, bowed his head and started to eat, it looked very fragrant and tasty.

Could this be something in a cat's coat? Zhu Youxiao put down his chopsticks and thoughtfully looked at this good-looking and smart cat.

………………

The sun shines on the body, although it is winter, even if it does not make people feel warm, it makes people feel happy.

But the first assistant Ye Xianggao came to Qianqing Palace with a few memorials in his hands, but he felt a little heavy on the way.

The reason is very simple. The young emperor made a central decree until the cabinet announced that Sun Degong, a guerrilla of the Liaodong governor Wang Huazhen, came to Beijing to have an audience.

In addition to summoning Sun Degong, there are also Xiong Tingbi's pre-military praise paintings, and Hong Fujiao, the head of the staff.

In the eyes of the cabinet ministers, the young emperor failed to replace Wang Huazhen, and the dispatch of military officials and principals to Liaodong was also rejected.

As for Sun Degong, a guerrilla in the Chinese army, Hong Fujiao, who is in charge of the staff, is a lowly official and a small official. Calling him to Beijing is nothing, and it will not affect the major events in Liaodong.

That being the case, the cabinet ministers felt that it would be better to give the young emperor some face.Yesterday at noon, the displeasure of the young emperor was obvious, why bother to make the emperor unhappy because of trivial matters.

Shoufu Ye Xianggao also agreed, but thought a little deeper.

Because this is a rare edict since the young emperor came to the throne, the previous edicts were all about rewards, and they were just a formality.

But this time, although the call was for a small official, it involved the matter of Liaodong.If the young emperor put forward such an opinion, most of the court discussions would pass, but the young emperor did not go through this procedure.

Ye Xianggao was not sure whether it was the young emperor's impatience, or a deliberate temptation, or to vent his resentment.

Therefore, Ye Xianggao wanted to find out, so that he could feel at ease.

At the same time, he also wanted to take the opportunity to persuade him.One is the early dynasty, the emperor was not diligent, and it will be written into the history books; the other is the decree, it is not impossible, it is best to change the method.

There was still some distance away from Qianqing Palace, and suddenly there was a "boom", which made Ye Xianggao jump.

After identifying the direction, Ye Xianggao changed his face, lifted his robe and quickened his pace, and went straight to Qianqing Palace.

At this time, outside the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youjiao led a group of palace people to watch the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion summoned to perform firearms.

Because it was performed in the palace, the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion only brought shotguns and three-eyed guns.The one who personally leads them is the current Supreme Duke of Ming Dynasty——Zhang Weixian, the seventh Duke of England.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian was in charge of the Chinese army's governor's office and the Beijing camp. He made great efforts in the case of moving the palace. He personally carried Emperor Tianqi from the Qianqing Palace to the Wenhua Palace in a sedan chair to inherit the throne.

Historically, when Wei Zhongxian was so powerful, he didn't dare to do anything to Zhang Weixian.

After the shotgun shot, Zhu Youxiao was noncommittal, but shook his head secretly.

Standing beside the young emperor, the British Duke Zhang Weixian introduced the characteristics and power of the three-eyed gun to him.

This three-eyed gun sounds pretty good. The three barrels can shoot in turn, and can also be used as a hammer to hit people.

But in fact, the barrel is too short, and the range can be imagined; it is true that it can fire three bombs in a row, but it is time-consuming and laborious to load.

Compared with the lethality and accuracy of matchlock guns such as bird guns, the fire door guns such as three-eyed guns are far inferior.

Two, 30 meters?Zhu Youxiao thinks that's the case. If you believe the fifty steps and eighty steps mentioned in the book, you will get water in your head.

Well, the ancients tended to confuse the effective killing range with the longest range.Putting a sky-swapping monkey can go 30 meters, is it useful?

Zhu Youxiao got up and walked over, and said, "I'll try it a few times." He wanted to try this well-known Ming army standard weapon for himself.

Well, men, it's normal to be interested in guns, even if it's just a backward musket.Even listening to the sound of the cannon fire is quite enjoyable, isn't it?

Besides, Zhu Youxiao didn't dare to shoot the blunderbuss because he thought it was very dangerous. There were many problems with the quality of Ming army's firearms on the Internet in later generations.

These three-eyed guns are very thick and heavy, so there should be no problem.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" Zhu Youxiao's voice was interrupted by a unanimous exclamation as soon as he finished speaking.

The one near was Zhang Weixian, and the one farther away was Ye Shoufu who was running over in a hurry. Both of them looked panic-stricken and rushed to stop them.

Just kidding?
The emperor has a body of gold, you let him try to fire a musket, in case something happens—even if nothing happens, you have to dissuade it, it is the duty of a minister!
Zhu Youxiao was stopped, a little displeased, his face sank, and he said, "It's just setting fire, why not?"

"Your Majesty belongs to the Ming Dynasty, so how can you easily risk yourself?" Ye Xianggao dissuaded him panting heavily.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at the British lord Zhang Weixian, pursed the corners of his lips, and asked, "British lord, is it possible that the quality of this firecracker is so low that casting it is life-threatening?"

This - Zhang Weixian was a little speechless.

To say that the quality of the firecracker is inferior is not to belittle the Shenjiying, and I am also suspected of dereliction of duty; but if I want to say that there is no problem with my chest, how can I stop the emperor from casting it?

"Your Majesty, this firecracker was brought into the palace by the Duke of England. It was carefully selected, so there is no problem." Ye Xianggao hurriedly bowed and said, "The soldiers in charge of the demonstration are also proficient, so let them demonstrate. Your Majesty will be by your side. Watching is the same."

Zhu Youxiao snorted, lost interest, and turned back to the palace.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian didn't get the emperor's order, so he didn't dare to leave without permission, and it was inconvenient to listen to Ye Xianggao's performance, so he cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Ge must have something important to report, so I will wait for your Majesty's call in the side hall first."

Ye Xianggao returned the salute and said, "Your Majesty, please let me go."

"Ye Xianggao, chief minister of the Xuan cabinet, enters the palace." A eunuch walked out of the palace door and screamed.

Zhang Weixian cupped his hands again and went down to the side hall with his hands.

Ye Xianggao was called into the hall, knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live.

"Stay flat!" Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and said calmly, "Ye Aiqing is here, what do you want to report?"

Ye Xianggao got up to Xie En, first handed the two memorials to the palace servants, and said: "Qizou Your Majesty, this is the ceremonial regulations for your majesty's wedding drafted by the Ministry of Rites, and the accounting documents of the Ministry of Households, please read and comment. "

Even for small households, marriage is a major event, and they must be done as ostentatiously as possible.
