Although there were not as many palace changes in the Ming Dynasty as in the Tang Dynasty, there were some of them. For example, in the eighth year of Jingtai (1457), Ming Yingzong took advantage of Emperor Jingtai's serious illness to launch the "Change of Seizing the Gate" and restored him as emperor. And it has only been 50 years since the "change of seizing the door", and many ministers in the DPRK and China are over 50 years old, and they still have memories of that palace change.

Therefore, when Wang Wei heard the sound of the cannon, his first reaction was a palace change. Then, he hurried to Li Dongyang's room and shouted:

"Brother Bin, something is wrong!"

Li Dongyang heard the sound of artillery, but he did not immediately think of the mutiny. After all, the Ming Dynasty has passed through the "Hongzhi Center" and has been peaceful for a long time.

Soon, however, a second round of artillery was heard-

"Boom-boom-boom-"

Wang Wei's face suddenly turned pale:

"It's over, there must be rebels attacking the imperial city. Listen to the sound, it should be northwest! ”

Li Dongyang also stood up:

"Mutiny?"

"It should be, otherwise, who would dare to open fire in Beijing?"

"Then hurry into the palace to find the emperor, and ask for the dispatch of troops to quell the chaos."

Then two old men in their fifties rushed through the imperial city, from the front yard of the imperial city, and went straight to the forbidden palace. First, he asked the emperor to move to safety; Second, it is to ask the emperor to authorize the transfer of troops.

Although the cabinet has power in favor of the government and the opposition, it does not include military power. If the cabinet wants to transfer troops, it must be authorized by the emperor. Inevitably, it is impossible to transfer troops at will. In particular, the mobilization system of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division was particularly strict. It must be authorized by the emperor, the cabinet will issue a document, and then send a letter to the Ministry of War, and then issue a document to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies after the approval of the Ministry of War, in order to mobilize the soldiers and horses in Beijing. This is also to prevent rebellion, after all, the cabinet is already very powerful. If you can mobilize troops and horses without going through the emperor, wouldn't you be able to launch a mutiny easily?

As cabinet bosses, it is still very easy for Li Dongyang and Wang Wei to enter the palace. But after entering the palace, the two couldn't find the emperor. After some inquiry, the two learned that the emperor had gone to the military war bureau in the northwest of the imperial city......

Thinking that the sound of cannons came from the northwest, at this time, more than a dozen rounds of cannons had been heard, and Wang Wei's face suddenly turned like ashes:

"It's over, the emperor went to the military battle, but there was a cannon sound there, doesn't it mean that the emperor has fallen into the trap of the rebels?"

After speaking, Wang Wei took off his official uniform that was in the way, picked up a stick from the courtyard, and shouted:

"Soldiers, the emperor may be in danger, hurry up with the old man to rescue him!"

Li Dongyang was stunned by Wang Wei's wild behavior, but he was still relatively sober, so he dissuaded:

"Jizhi, you are a civil official, how can you beat the traitors? It's better to go with me to the military department to transfer troops! ”

Wang Wei also came to his senses, although he understands military affairs, he is also a civilian official, and he is old. When you encounter a random rebel, you probably will chop yourself with one sword. So, he hurriedly pulled Li Dongyang and ran in the direction of the military headquarters.

However, before the two of them ran to the military headquarters, they saw a eunuch running in the distance, and shouted as they ran:

"Misunderstanding, two elders! Misunderstanding! ”

After the eunuch caught up with the second elder and explained the situation, Li Dongyang and Wang Wei's heads were suddenly full of black lines:

"You mean, the emperor is testing the cannon in the imperial city?" Li Dongyang couldn't wait to strangle the little eunuch in front of him at this time.

And Wang Wei was directly furious:

"That's child's play! This is an imperial city, how can you fire cannons casually? Let's go, Brother Bin, let's go to the War Bureau to find the emperor's theory! ”

After speaking, Wang Wei pulled Li Dongyang and went straight to the military battle bureau and went to spray the emperor......

When Wang Troll pulled Li Huatou to the shooting range of the War Bureau, the bear child was clapping his hands:

"Okay, it's really a sharp weapon, and it can easily break the wall!"

Previously, Emperor Zhengde asked craftsmen to temporarily build a wall a hundred steps away, and also plastered a thick layer of yellow mud on the wall to prevent ricochets and strengthen the ability to resist shelling.

But unexpectedly, in just three rounds of shelling, the nine iron balls not only hit the low wall a hundred steps away, but also broke the low wall...... The whole wall collapsed as the bombardment continued......

After all, it was a temporary wall, and the bricks were bonded with yellow mud, without the standard glutinous rice juice and high-grade adhesives such as brown sugar. However, the thickness of the low wall is also sufficient, plus a thick layer of yellow mud has been touched. If it is changed to a short-barreled earthen cannon used by the Ming army, it cannot be penetrated, but the Fran cannon broke the wall with only three rounds, which was really beyond the expectations of Emperor Zhengde.

However, as soon as the bear child finished clapping his hands and admiring, he turned his head and saw Li Dongyang and Wang Wei with black lines on their heads......

So, the bear child was embarrassed......

In the face of the two cabinet bigwigs, the young Emperor Zhengde was still a little stunned. The current Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao is not the martial artist who came to say it later, but just a bear child. In the face of the respected teacher Li Dongyang, and the big troll Wang Wei, who has explosive combat effectiveness, the bear child is still a little weak-hearted.

However, although the bear child likes to mess around, his brain is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. Seeing that the two bigwigs were about to break out, the bear child rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of a countermeasure:

"Ahem...... What's that...... Two Aiqing, I was just testing the cannon just now......"

"Test guns?" Wang Troll was furious......

"Your Majesty, how can anyone test a cannon in the imperial city? Whether it is the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry or the Military War Bureau of the Inner Court, at most they test the guns in the city, how can they test the artillery in the city? The imperial city was in chaos just now, Lao Chen and Li Ge Lao thought that there was a mutiny, and they were so scared that they ran around, so they sent to the military department to transfer troops to quell the rebellion! ”

The bear child knew that he was in the wrong, so he bowed and said:

"It's because I didn't think it through, but, Elder Wang, the firearms offered by this ghost are really extraordinary. You are knowledgeable, can you help with a review? You see, the low wall built by the people I sent before was actually blown down, what a militaristic weapon! ”

The bear child knows that Li Dongyang's rank is not high, and the most difficult person is Wang Wei. But the bear child also knows that Wang Wei is more concerned about military affairs. So, simply use guns to divert the attention of Wang Wei, a military fan.

Sure enough, the upright Wang Wei was fooled. Wang Wei actually wanted to see these guns for a long time, but unfortunately Mao Cheng detained these guns in the treasury of the Ministry of Rites to eat ashes, and he didn't have the chance to see them.

Now, the bear child deliberately diverted his attention, and the old army fan Wang Wei was also diverted for a while and went to inspect those guns.

"Elder Wang Ge, you see, this is the target of the arquebus, the bullet holes on it are so dense, and it is a result of thirty paces away. It can be seen that this Western ghost's musket is still very powerful, more powerful than my Ming Three-Eyed Gun......"

"Look at this Franc cannon again...... It's ingenious...... The Westerners were also really clever, and actually came up with the method of the alphabet gun, using the boy gun to fill gunpowder and iron bullets, and then stuffing it into the mother gun to excite it. In this way, the charge is extremely convenient......" As he spoke, Emperor Zhengde personally gestured to Wang Wei with his hand.

When Wang Wei heard this, he also nodded again and again. Then, he and the bear children had a lively discussion about the technical problems of the arquebus and the Fran cannon......

Li Dongyang saw that the building was crooked, and there were more black lines on his head...... So, he coughed and reminded Wang Wei......

Wang Wei heard Li Dongyang's cough, and when he looked at it again, Li Ge was frowning at himself...... Suddenly, he also realized - Nima, he was led astray by the little emperor......

So, he said:

"Your Majesty, even if the Western guns are sharp, you can't test the guns in the imperial city!"

When Emperor Zhengde saw that the Dafa of diverting attention had been cracked, he had no choice but to quibble:

"What's that...... I'm also happy to see the hunter, so I can't wait to test the gun......"
