Ling Kun got up and ate something simply, then took Xiao Ran and Zhao Mingyue to the front of the palace to snatch the head Hao Wenkai back from the gambling table.

"Hao Dutou, this is the princess of Yanguo, the matter of artillery is the idea of the princess, and now she wants to see the progress." Ling Kun introduced.

Hao Wenkai was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Hao Dutou, let's be polite, how is the artillery studied?" Zhao Mingyue asked.

"Back to the princess, according to the princess's drawings, they have all been made so far, but there has been no major breakthrough in improving lethality, please atone for the princess."

"Let's take a look." Ling Kun proposed.

"Yes, lieutenant." Hao Wenkai led the way and led the three of them to the armor division, where in the specially configured small courtyard, there was a cannon, the bronze cannon body was shining, and there were four wheels underneath it to facilitate movement.

Zhao Mingyue looked at the thickness of the bowl and the black hole of the gun, and was a little excited in her heart.

"What about the cannonballs? Take it for the princess to see. Ling Kun said.

Immediately someone presented a cannonball, and it turned out to be a round mud ball, like an unopened flower chicken, but with an extra lead.

Ling Kun was puzzled: "The drawings are not like this, right?" Isn't it going to be cast in bronze? ”

The researcher came over with a bitter face and explained, "My lord, the gunpowder is not powerful enough, and it can't be blown up in the refined copper." ”

Ling Kun was disappointed for a while, and waved his hand: "Okay, then find a place to try." ”

Hao Wenkai nodded, and commanded the men to pull the cannon to the martial arts arena and set it up, waiting for Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue's instructions.

Ling Kun saw that there was a small tree in front of him, and at this moment, he just pulled out the buds and cut out the thin leaves, and the branches were so lush that they were not eye-catching, so he said, "Just bang at that tree and see the effect." ”

The man of the armor division agreed, adjusted the angle of the muzzle, loaded the shell into the barrel, and lit the fuse with fire.

The crowd took a step back and looked nervously ahead, wondering what was going to happen.

"Knock knock" Two deafening loud noises sounded, Xiao Ran was so frightened that his mother screamed and plunged into Zhao Mingyue's arms. Zhao Mingyue was also shocked and couldn't help but close her eyes.

When it was calm, everyone looked forward and saw smoke and chaos around the tree. As the smoke cleared, the small tree was revealed again, and the branches and trunks were unharmed, except for the newly extracted leaves that fell to the ground.

"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death, it's not as powerful as my slash." Seeing this, Xiao Ran let out a string of silver bell-like smiles, laughing so hard that the faces of the people present turned black, like small trees that had been bombarded.

Zhao Mingyue pinched her hard, glared at her and said, "Shut up." ”

Xiao Ran hurriedly covered his mouth, leaving only two crescent-like eyes, obviously still snickering.

Hao Wenkai said: "Princess, this is the case at present, I don't know what other good ways the princess has." ”

Zhao Mingyue didn't understand this, shook her head and asked Ling Kun, "What do you think?" ”

Ling Kun shook his head and said: "In the final analysis, it is still a matter of gunpowder, our gunpowder is still gunpowder after all, not explosives, and has no power." ”

"What is explosives? Can't you make it? Zhao Mingyue asked.

Ling Kun smiled bitterly: "Of course I can, but I don't understand, if I understand, I won't become a Nobel Prize." ”

"Who is Nobel? Unlike Han names, is it Khitan? Xiao Ran asked.

Ling Kun couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's do it first, you continue to study, I believe that one day there will be a breakthrough, let's go back first." ”

The armor man agreed. Send them out.

On the way, Zhao Mingyue said melancholy: "Ling Kun, the power of the artillery is like this, if my father knows, will he marry me off again?" ”

Ling Kun smiled: "No, Wang Yingjue has been sent to Sichuan, and you can't marry for the time being." ”

"Snort, it's not just Wang Yingjue in the world." Xiao Ran sneered.

"Oh yes, and me, isn't it my turn this time?" Ling Kun said with a look like a pig brother.

Zhao Mingyue was ashamed and roared: "If you don't think about it, if you dare to fight the idea of this palace, I will kill you first." Saying that, he used his unique stunt - the flesh pinching magic skill, and pinched Ling Kun all over the place. Xiao Ran was envious: "Sister Mingyue, I really want to pinch it." ”

"No, I can only pinch it." Zhao Mingyue decisively refused.

"Why?"

"Because...... Where did you come from so much and why? Do you want to eat dinner? ”

"Well, what you say is nothing, isn't it?" Xiao Ran was stunned.

The next morning, Ling Kun had already been notified of his vacation, and he could sleep peacefully. However, an unusually important news was announced in the court.

Shouwang Zhao Yuankan changed his name to Zhao Heng, became the crown prince, and entered the East Palace.

Why do you want to change your name, because their brothers have the word "Yuan" in their names, if he succeeds to the throne in the future, in order to avoid secrecy, the other brothers have to change their names, it is better to change him before establishing the prince.

After the early dynasty, the prince entered the temple to worship his ancestors, and then went out of the palace to meet the people.

Ling Kun took Zhao Mingyue and Xiao Ran to wander around, just witnessing the grand scene of the prince's parade on the street.

Zhao Mingyue said happily: "It's okay this time, the prince is decided, don't worry about anyone." ”

Ling Kun said disappreciably: "That maybe, Li Jiancheng is a prince, but the emperor did not act as a ghost instead." ”

"You, why are you like this?" Zhao Mingyue was extremely angry, pointed at Ling Kun and scolded: "I'll tear your crow's mouth." ”

Ling Kun forgot for a moment that Zhao Mingyue was the sister of the prince, and after finishing speaking, he really regretted his death, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to contradict it, it's just that the temptation of the throne is too great, and you must not take it lightly, let alone become the prince, even if you become the emperor, there are more people who are worried about it, you guys, you have to be mentally guarded." ”

Zhao Mingyue glanced at him, let him go, and then sighed: "Our family shouldn't be able to, the eldest brother doesn't want to be the emperor, and the younger brothers are still young." ”

"I hope so." Ling Kun replied.

Xiao Ran was not interested in these things, and felt bored, so he hugged Ling Kun's arm and said, "You don't have to go to court for a month, where can we go to play?" ”

"That's right, I won't go to court for a month, and the front secretary of the palace has nothing to do with me, so let's go out for a trip." Ling Kun hit it off.

"Tourism? Where do you want to go? Zhao Mingyue was also a little moved.

Ling Kun thought about it, in this era, there are no cars and no planes, and it is unrealistic to go far, so he said, "Do you want to go to Jinling?" ”

"Is Jinling fun?" Xiao Ran asked.

"It's okay, the ancient capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the place where Li Yu has played should be good." Ling Kun said. In his previous life, Ling Kun was a gentleman, but Li Yu was the recognized ancestor of their gentleman.

"Well, there's also the Qinhuai River." Zhao Mingyue also said, her tone was a little calm, but neither Ling Kun nor Xiao Ran paid attention.

Ling Kun stroked his palm and echoed: "Yes, there is also the Qinhuai River, this era should be the most lively time for the Qinhuai River." ”

Zhao Mingyue sneered: "Don't you think it's a bit of an eyesore to take me and Xiao Ran around the Qinhuai River?" ”

Ling Kun was stunned for a moment.
