Chongzhen was in a melancholy mood, and went to the queen's residence alone to seek comfort, and soon came to Kunning Palace, today's Chongzhen suddenly noticed that the people in Kunning Palace, whether they were guards or palace maids, had a joy that could not be concealed, and they all covered up a smile after saluting, how? What's the best of luck today? Chongzhen thought to himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When I entered the room, I saw Qiao'er talking to the queen, very engaged and happy, so Chongzhen knocked and leaned over, and suddenly Chongzhen said loudly: "What are you talking about?" Speaking out also makes me happy?! β
"Ahh Both exclaimed at the same time! Hurry up and salute.
"Concubines, see Your Majesty!"
"Slave and maid, see Your Majesty!"
"Let's all be flat!" Chongzhen smiled and said, "What? What are you so happy about? β
Qiao'er looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty! Let the Queen tell you! The slave went out to do things first! After speaking, he retired with a smile, and Chongzhen saw her go out, so he stepped forward and hugged the queen and said, "Come!" Ning'er! Tell me about it! β
Empress Zhou did not answer Chongzhen's words, but said happily: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly come to the concubine at this time?" And he didn't let the prince report it, and the guards and palace maids at the door didn't come to report! β
"Huh! I asked the prince to run errands, and I wanted to come here temporarily! Don't blame the guards and palace maids at the door, I told them not to report it! All right! Hurry up and tell me what happy event? As he spoke, he kissed Queen Zhou's face lightly.
"Your Majesty! Today, the concubine suddenly felt unwell, so she asked the imperial doctor to check it, and the imperial doctor saidγγγγγγγ Speaking of which, the queen suddenly stopped talking.
"Say what?" Chongzhen didn't react for a while.
"The imperial doctor said that the concubine is happy!" Empress Zhou said shyly.
"Oh! Bun in the oven! What's the joy? Chongzhen still didn't react, he didn't blame him, he didn't even have a girlfriend before, and he didn't understand if he didn't react.
"It's that the concubine is pregnant! The concubine is pregnant with a dragon seed! Queen Zhou suddenly wondered if Chongzhen's brain had become dull after falling!
"What? What did you say?! After being stunned for a second, he suddenly shouted, "Are you saying I'm going to be a father?!" "Chongzhen is a little skeptical that he is dreaming, I am going to be a father?
"Yes! Your Majesty! Queen Zhou said shyly.
"Ning'er, you twist my arm," Chongzhen said suddenly.
"Huh? The concubines don't dare! Empress Zhou looked embarrassed.
"If I tell you to screw it, you will screw it!" Chongzhen pretended to be angry.
"Ahh It hurts! Chongzhen yelled: "Oops! Ning'er! You don't have to push so hard, do you?! But it hurts so much that I'm not dreaming! I'm going to be a father! Ha ha! Chongzhen smiled happily! In the previous world, he was a lonely person, and the one who accompanied him was the five-fingered girl, but now he not only has three daughters-in-law who are like flowers and jade, but now he is going to be a father, can he not be happy.
Empress Zhou was taken aback by Emperor Chongzhen's roar, thinking that she had made Emperor Chongzhen angry by using too much force, but looking at his laughter, she thought that she was too worried!
"Ahh Empress Zhou let out a scream, this time someone rushed in outside the door, because they were used to it, so there was no previous embarrassing scene, Empress Zhou looked at it intently, she was hugged by Emperor Chongzhen, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Your Majesty!" Be careful! Be careful! β
"That's right! Ning'er is right! I need to be gentle! So as not to move the tire! Saying that, he walked to the side of the bed with Queen Zhou in his arms, put it down gently, and then there was a wild kiss to express his love for her, until both of them began to gasp and stopped, and Queen Zhou said shyly: "Your Majesty! Concubines will not be able to serve His Majesty for a few months now! Your Majesty will go to Yuan Guifei or Tian Guifei tonight! β
"Nope! I'm not going anywhere today! I'll sleep with Ning'er tonight! Chongzhen said gently.
"Your Majestyγγγγγγγ" Empress Zhou was a little moved and speechless.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty! The prince asks to see! Say there is an emergency to see Your Majesty! β
Chongzhen listened! Reluctantly, she let go of Queen Zhou and said, "Wait for me!" I'll deal with it! But he said in his heart: "Won't SX or Liaodong change?!" Not really, right? β
"Hmm!" Empress Zhou nodded obediently.
Walking out of the door nervously, Wang Chengen knelt on the ground and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Congratulations, Your Majesty! Lord Xu came to report that the new artillery construction method has been successfully developed! I beg your majesty to come and check it out! β
Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Go!" Get on the wheel now! With that, he went to the Ministry of Works.
When he arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Xu Guangqi personally waited for Emperor Chongzhen, and when he saw that the emperor was coming, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The old minister sees Your Majesty!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! β
"Aiqing is flat! In the future, I don't have to kneel down when I see Aiqing! Just salute! I give you that right! Chongzhen said happily.
"Your Majesty, Old Minister!" Xu Guangqi was naturally very happy to receive such a gift.
"Where is the cannon! I'll take a look! Chongzhen was impatient.
"Your Majesty! Lao Chen will take you to see! Xu Guangqi said, and then took Emperor Chongzhen to the place where the cannon was built.
After a few turns, Chongzhen's head was about to turn dizzy, and finally saw a few cannons that were being made aside, Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, how did you do it?
Xu Guangqi said: "The main thing is that an old craftsman thought of it, and after the old minister discussed His Majesty's ideas with them, an old craftsman combined His Majesty's ideas and made them according to his own experience!" β
"Oh? Come and see! Chongzhen said happily.
Soon! An old man was summoned, but it was obvious that he was overly nervous, and his whole body trembled, and he couldn't even speak very neatly: "The grass people knock and see... Your Majesty.... Banzai... Banzai... Hooray! β
"Flatten! You are a great hero of my Ming Dynasty! Don't be nervous! Chongzhen walked over and personally helped up this big project that invented the iron mold casting cannon, which made the old man even more nervous.
"Old man! Can you tell me how you did that? Chongzhen said gently.
Looking at His Majesty the Emperor, who was not kind, the old man gradually calmed down his excitement and said: "The grass people are also based on His Majesty's ideas, and then refer to the experience of making farm tools, and then use iron as a mold, and when casting cannons, first brush the inside of each petal of the iron mold with two layers of slurry. The first layer of slurry is made of fine rice husk ash and fine sand mud; The second layer of slurry is made of fine kiln coal and water. Then, the two petals are combined, tightened with iron hoops, baked, and continuously continued, and finally the molten metal is cast. After pouring enough melt and cooling and forming, the iron mold is immediately peeled off according to the order of the mold flaps, like peeling off the bamboo shoot shell, gradually exposing the gun body, and then removing the mud embryo in the gun core, and the natural snow slippery in the chamber. β
After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction: "Because of your new artillery construction method, artillery will definitely become the god of war in the future." In view of your great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, I want to commend you well, and I will give you a thousand taels of silver and be named a war uncle! β
The old man felt like he was in a dream when he heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, and he didn't react for a while, until others called him, he didn't react, and suddenly the old man knelt down in tears and said: "Thank you for your grace!" Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! β
"You deserve it!" Chongzhen smiled: "I don't know what the old man's surname is?" β
"Back to Your Majesty! The grass people are surnamed Wang! The old man said respectfully.
"So! The new artillery construction method was named Wang's artillery construction method, which went down in history! Chongzhen said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! "Wang Laohan can't calm his heart anymore, this life is worth it, he didn't live in vain! He sighed.
"Let's get flat!" Chongzhen continued: "It doesn't matter who it is in the future! As long as it contributes to my Ming Dynasty, I will not be stingy! Everyone here should work hard! In addition, Xu Aiqing! This cannon construction method is listed as the top secret of my Ming Dynasty! Don't spread the word! If I find that someone is spreading this law, I will definitely punish him severely! β
"The old minister obeys!" Xu Guangqi said respectfully, and the others also knelt down one after another, saying that they would definitely keep it secret.
"Xu Aiqing! I will come out as a place in a circle! You will be there when the firearms research comes! I will also send Jinyi Wei and Dongchang to guard them tightly! Outsiders are strictly forbidden to enter! Chongzhen said
"So good! Thank you, Your Majesty! Xu Guangqi said. Chongzhen nodded, only to see Xu Guangqi continue: "This cannon construction method, although the speed of production has increased many times, but the quality minister still needs to study it carefully with the craftsmen!" Strive to be the best! β
"Excellent! Everyone, work hard! In addition, Aiqing needs to tell me in time," Chongzhen said happily.
"The old minister must work hard!" Xu Guangqi said.
The people below also followed suit, saying that they must work hard! After all, there is an example here, once he was made an earl, and he was rewarded with so much silver and he could still be famous in history, which made these people feel that the future was bright!
"A few other studies should also be troubled by Aiqing! That's right! When the time comes, all these studies will be in one place! I'm going to set up a research institute for Aiqing to study things! Aiqing doesn't have to run around like this! Chongzhen said.
"Your Majesty, Old Minister!" Xu Guangqi was moved.
"Then I'll go back to the palace! After that, let the prince arrange the affairs of the institute! Looking forward to the good news from Aiqing again! After speaking, he returned to the palace, and everyone behind him knelt down and saluted to send His Majesty the Emperor.
There are still good things, if they are all bad things, how can I live this day, Chongzhen sighed in his heart. Take it one step at a time, it'll always be fine! He thoughtγγγγγγ
