Zhu Youzhi has had a lot of fate since he was a child, and it is not easy to grow up in the shadow of Wan Zhen'er, but after he became the emperor, the government and the opposition were basically calm, and he married Empress Zhang until now, and his life is quite nourishing.

The most painful thing for Zhu Youzhu is that his second son and youngest daughter died one after another, although it did not cause him to cut off the heirs, but for so many years, there is only one son like Zhu Houzhao, and he occasionally thinks of Emperor Hongzhi without regrets.

Zhu Youji's second son was born in the seventh year of Hongzhi and died in the ninth year of Hongzhi, because of the long time, it is time-consuming and laborious to trace, and it is of little significance.

But Zhu Youji's youngest daughter, Princess Taikang Zhu Xiurong, died two years ago, that is, in September of the eleventh year of Hongzhi, and it has not been two years, and the princess was not yet two years old when she died, which made the emperor very sad.

Shen Xi didn't know what the cause of Zhu Xiurong's death was, but it was expected that people in the royal family would have disasters for several years in a row, and Zhu Houzhao and Empress Zhang were most likely harmed, so it was very likely that Zhu Xiurong was killed...... The princess was young and unprepared, and her vitality was weak, and no one thought about whether she had a wound on her body when she died.

After Zhu Xiurong passed away, the emperor and empress were very sad, and the matter of the demon Li Guang made a fuss, and it passed over time.

But now, with the poisoning of Zhu Houzhao and Empress Zhang one after another, their conditions are similar, and the old things will inevitably be brought up.

Starting from the inner courtyard of the palace, it may even extend to the imperial court, and there will be a bloody storm.

Xie Yun'er entered the palace and looked a little excited, how to say that she also entered the Forbidden City, which proves that the Xie family has good medical skills, and even the royal family will take the initiative to invite a diagnosis, and Li Dongyang's suppression of the Xie family was simply "unnecessary".

But she finally knew that she was able to diagnose the queen's poisoning, completely because Shen Xi had diagnosed and treated the crown prince Zhu Houzhao in the first year, and the treatment method was still to use dog skin plaster to pull out the poison, which was not created by the Xie family.

In the final analysis, she just went to the palace for Shen Xi to help the queen see a doctor, and the real credit should belong to Shen Xi.

The next day, Shen Xi didn't have to go to the East Palace to speak, plus he stayed up late and got up late, but when he went out of the room, he happened to meet someone who came to the door to give gifts......

The gifts were sent by the palace, including precious Chinese medicinal materials and fine cloud brocade silk, etc., as Xie Yun'er cured Empress Zhang's Xie Yi.

Yunjin is a tribute, you can't buy it on the market, usually only the wife of the meritorious minister's family has the opportunity to get the royal gift, this time Xie Yun'er got the satin size is not very large, less than one horse, it can be calculated to be able to make two gorgeous brocade clothes.

Xie Yun'er touched the thin satin, even if she didn't have any material requirements, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart.

Subsequently, gifts were also sent from the Shouning Hou Mansion.

The gifts of the relatives were much more pragmatic, and in addition to the silk and satin, there was also a large box of copper coins.

The gifts were placed in the courtyard, and the neighbors came to join in the fun, so Xie Yun'er asked Zhu Shan to take the copper coins to the neighbors.

Xie Yun'er herself is not the kind of person who is public, but this time she entered the palace to diagnose the queen, and she retired, and the palace and the Shouning Marquis Mansion gave gifts to take the initiative to help her do publicity, just to correct the name of the Xie family's medical skills, and also made an advertisement for the opening of the Xie family's pharmacy for free in the future......

Look, even the emperor recognizes the medical skills of our Xie family!

Shen Xi stayed outside for a while, then returned to the study, in the afternoon he had to go to the western suburbs to watch the progress of Zhang Lao Wu and others practicing the cannon, now is the time for the Xie family to grow faces, he will not take the initiative to go out to mix.

In the end, Xie Yun'er brought Lin Dai in, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, the concubine has thought about it, cut two sets of clothes from the palace in the palace, one for me and one for Dai'er, and wear them out during the New Year's holidays, okay?" ”

Shen Xi smiled: "It's up to Yun'er, you can make your own decisions." ”

Speaking of this, Shen Xi thought to himself, but don't let the old lady in his hometown know, otherwise the Zhou family will scold these two daughters-in-law for having no conscience and not having her as a mother-in-law in their hearts.

There are good things that don't want me, this is a royal gift, the old lady has never dared to think from her ancestors for dozens of generations, one day she can wear the clothes of the royal gift.

The one who lent me clothes to wear for two days......

According to the previous rules, Shen Xi still went to Zhan Shifu at noon to see if there was any change in the errand of the East Palace speaker, but he did not meet Wu Kuan and Liang Chu and other bosses, but Xie Qian left a message asking him to go to Xie Mansion in the afternoon.

Shen Xi probably wanted to come, and Xie Qian came to him to discuss the poisoning of the queen yesterday.

As soon as he arrived at Zhan Shifu, he heard that since last night, the palace ban has suddenly become strict, and even going to the East Palace to give a lecture to the prince will be searched, which has never happened before.

As for the entourage on the side of the Chufang Palace, they were all isolated and examined, and the residences of the palace maids and eunuchs who served the crown prince were strictly searched to see if there were still poisons.

This time, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to be determined to move his real character, and wanted to find out who was not good for his wife and children, so that he would cut off his children and grandchildren.

On the way to the western suburbs campus in the afternoon, Shen Xi was also thinking about this problem.

If the crown prince's illness last year and the poisoning of the queen now were man-made, who would be behind the harm and what was the motive?

The struggle for imperial power is the most likely, and countless people died in order to compete for the throne in all dynasties. But with Zhu Youji's identity and status, the brothers who can compete with him for the throne, including the future Emperor Jiajing's father King Xing, are not successful...... People never thought that one day they could make their children and grandchildren emperors.

As for King Ning's side, because Xie Yun'er went to Nanchang, Jiangxi to diagnose King Ning, and now King Ning is still hanging his life, and Zhu Chenhao has not yet inherited the throne, and this future careerist will not start plotting to kill the princess and the prince two or three years ago.

Wan Zhen'er's widow?

I think it's unreliable, Wan Zhen'er didn't have much power in the first place, she entered the palace at the age of four, and she relied on Emperor Xianzong's love for her, and the three brothers were all liquidated after her death.

More than ten years after the death of an imperial concubine, there is still someone in the court to avenge her?

Even if you want to take revenge, you can't involve the queen and the crown prince!

You must know that Wan Zhen'er died of illness, and when Wan Zhen'er was alive, Zhu Youzhu lived a trembling life, and was extremely afraid of him, the "stepmother".

In any case, now that the queen has been poisoned, there is a rumor in the palace, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

……

……

Zhang Lao Wu and the other three have made significant progress in their proficiency in handling the cannon, and in just one day, they have become extremely skilled in loading, adding leads, and firing, which fully shows that this kind of Franc cannon has a great advantage, that is, the operation is relatively simple, and it is easy to popularize and popularize in the army.

Shen Xi personally watched Zhang Lao Wu fire two cannons and was about to leave, when someone from the military department came to the school field, it was actually Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, and Xiong Xiu, the left waiter.

Xiong Xiu was considered to be the best candidate to succeed Ma Wensheng as the future secretary of the Ministry of War, and followed up by Ma Wensheng's side, but apparently he ignored another important figure in the imperial court, that is, Liu Daxia. In history, the person who succeeded Ma Wensheng as the secretary of the military department was Liu Daxia, and then Xiong Xiu still hated Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng, and even joined others to impeach the old boss, so Shen Xi's impression of Xiong Xiu was not good, this was simply a two-faced villain.

But in itself, Xiong Xiu is also a nearly sixty-year-old minister, and when he presided over the martial arts examination, he favored and promoted Wang Lingzhi, and in terms of face, Shen Xi still maintained enough respect for Xiong Xiu.

"Xia Guan has seen Ma Shangshu, Xiong Shilang." Shen Xi hurriedly saluted.

Because Ma Wensheng and Xiong Xiu were wearing civilian clothes, Zhang Laowu and others didn't know each other, but they heard that it was Shangshu and Shilang, although they didn't know which yamen it was, but they knew that this official was so big that they quickly called it "adult", knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Although Ma Wensheng and Shen Xi have no friendship in private, they have met several times.

Shen Xi's name has been mentioned in the court several times in the past year or so, and Ma Wensheng has helped Shen Xi to support him in the court, which can be regarded as an "old friend".

Ma Wensheng said with a smile: "Shen Yude is also here, just right, let's take a look at the power of this Franc cannon......"

Shen Xi made a gesture of "please" and said, "Ma Shangshu, please." ”

When he arrived at the place, Ma Wensheng looked the Franc cannon up and down, and couldn't help shaking his head: "This Franc cannon looks ordinary." ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, no, no matter what the Ming Dynasty made, it was important to be big and powerful, and it looked like it was enough to bluff people, but as a result, it made some heavy and bulky artillery that was not practical to use to send big iron balls...... What about the sound of sound? On the battlefield, it can only be used to frighten people.

Shen Xi said: "Ma Shangshu knows it when he sees it. ”

For safety reasons, Shen Xi wanted to take Ma Wensheng to a distance, but Ma Wensheng stood still and didn't leave. In Ma Wensheng's view, even a young man like a gunner is not afraid of danger, what are he afraid of when he is in his seventies? People are rare in seventy years, and if they are destined to go like this, they are not safe to go anywhere, and they will never retreat.

Shen Xi didn't have a way, Ma Wensheng didn't leave, and his subordinate naturally couldn't hide far away.

Two shells were fired at a demonstration, which was mainly a demonstration of the continuity of the Franc cannon.

Zhang Laowu and the others knew that it was the military department Shangshu who came to watch, and they were full of energy, so they heard a "boom", the first cannon was fired, and dust and smoke were raised in the distance.

After the voice calmed down, Ma Wensheng looked at Shen Xi and asked, "Why is the launch speed so fast?" ”

Shen Xi explained the relationship between the gun and the mother gun, and then explained the fire suppression of the enemy's mobile troops by the Franc cannon.

After all, Ma Wensheng has been in battle for a long time, and he basically understands the advantages and disadvantages as soon as he hears it. Ma Wensheng nodded again and again, but wondered in his heart: "The pattern is obviously offered by Brother Yu Qiao, why does Shen Xi know more clearly than Yu Qiao?" ”

Shen Xi finally said: "The Franc cannon is not used for siege, but when defending the city or when the two armies are facing each other, the effect is obvious, and it can also be reduced according to the proportion, and it can be used as a sergeant's handgun when facing the enemy." ”

"Oh?"

Ma Wensheng thought about it carefully, in the past, the big open fire weapons were all front-loaded, which was very inconvenient, but if this kind of miniature version of the Franc cannon was replaced, it could even be used on horseback, even if the range was a little closer, it would not be able to stand up to the strong firepower, and it would have a good lethal effect on the Tatar cavalry.

"Okay, when I turn around, I will write to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to speed up the imitation of the Franc cannon, but before that, Your Majesty will personally watch it, and you must not slack off." Ma Wensheng stroked his beard and smiled.

Shen Xi respectfully accepted the order and sent Ma Wensheng and Xiong Xiu away first, originally he was going to leave, but in order to show that he was a responsible person, he had to wait for Shangguan to go away before leaving.

Looking back at Zhang Lao Wu and the others, they were all a little fluttery at this time.

One of the Seven Qings, the military department Shangshu, actually spoke to them cordially, and it would be much tougher to talk to the officials in the future. You are a big official, and you are bigger than the secretary of the military department? Even the military department is polite to us!

At present, the preliminary review of the training and military department has been passed, and Shen Xi is not responsible for the security affairs, and the rest is to command the people to set up the straw man.

It's best to be able to put the straw figures in place first and then practice in actual combat, but the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies can't do any work, and there are not many straw men prepared...... The excuse for the evasion is that if the straw men are scattered, they will not be able to make another batch in a few days.

In this way, the observation of Emperor Hongzhi can only be regarded as an actual combat exercise.
