Doctor Gu Yanyue

Chapter 77: Imperial Order of a First-Class Female Official!
How did the Empress Dowager Xigong know that Gu Yanyue had such abilities?She asked those ignorant officials, but all the civil and military officials were nonchalant, because they had never been cast before, so how could they dare to say that they would?
Right Prime Minister pondered: "Queen Mother, this is just a blueprint, it has not been made, who knows if it will work or not?"

The Empress Dowager Xigong asked Gu Yanyue seriously: "Gu Junzhu, do you really understand? These pictures of yours are clearly drawn, and the annotations are clear, but you haven't done it yet, are you sure you can do it?"

Empress Dowager Nishinomiya is also a smart person. Although she hasn't finished reading it, those drawings are indeed not something a layman can draw.So far, Gu Yanyue's astonishing talent has really attracted the attention of the empress dowagers of the two palaces and all civil and military officials.

Gu Yanyue nodded, and replied confidently: "I'm sure, as long as the Queen Mother has seen these materials. If you can prepare these things, you can build factories and cast cannons."

The Empress Dowager Xigong became serious and solemn, the beautiful face raised her eyes, she rolled up her sleeves and said: "Since the ancient princess said she would, then, from today onwards, the Ai family will seal the ancient princess as a first-class imperial envoy to cast cannons, and support The transfer order of the artillery battalion. From now on, Princess Gu, Crown Prince Jin, and Commander Qiao will be responsible for the casting of cannons."

As soon as this remark came out, an old official among the civil and military officials immediately asked: "How can this work? There has never been a female official in my dynasty, let alone handing over the transfer order of the Artillery Battalion to a woman?"

The Empress Dowager Xigong cast a sharp look at the minister who spoke, and said, "According to what you said, we have never had anything in our dynasty, and we all have to stand still and do not seek new policies, and there is no need to make progress? This cannon has been successfully cast in the Southern Dynasty. The Han Dynasty has not existed so far. In your opinion, if there is no such thing in the previous dynasties, we cannot have it? Do you think that we will never have a Han Dynasty, and when others have it, we will turn our Han Dynasty into cannon fodder?"

Upon hearing this, the old minister fell to his knees with a "plop", kowtowed and said, "I dare not! This old minister didn't mean that, please calm down the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager Xigong raised her head, held her hands, and asked slowly and sharply: "There are still people who think that there are no female officials in our dynasty, so we can't have female officials?"

Everyone knelt down suddenly, not daring to raise any objections.In fact, in today's court, it is clear that the queen dowagers of the two palaces are controlling the government, and the emperor is just a puppet.

The Empress Dowager Xigong glanced at everyone again and said: "Since there is no objection, the Ai family will appoint the Princess Gu as a first-rank female official today, who will be in charge of casting cannons and commanding the artillery battalion in the capital. This is a matter of national security. Big body. The frontier land has been disturbed recently, once the cannon is successfully cast, will those small border countries dare to move around? Ai Jia believes that the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace and the emperor should not have any objections, right?"

Because recently the border of the Han Dynasty often has neighboring countries ready to move, because the land of the Han Dynasty occupies the center of this ancient time and space, the land is fertile, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent, so everyone has a heart for the Han Dynasty. It seems that many countries have joined forces. suspicion of invasion.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace and the emperor naturally also hope that the Han Dynasty can be made into a gun and become a powerful country.Therefore, when the Empress Dowager Xigong asked this question, because no one in the court knew how to cast cannons, the Empress Dowager Donggong and the emperor really had no objections.

The emperor sat with Qin Sangrou all the time, but when he heard that Gu Yanyue knew how to cast cannons, both he and Qin Sangrou were full of disdain, thinking that it was absolutely impossible.
