() The winter of Daming Palace in early spring has not faded, and the scenery is like an ice palace and snow country. Xue Chongxun and Murong Dong, who was full of happiness, were walking by the Taiye Pool, he stood in front of Murong Dong and pulled her mink collar, and asked with concern, "Is it cold?" ”

Murong Dong raised his head and shook his head with a smile: "It's not cold, it's much better than the winter in Tuyuhun, and the wind is still light." ”

"You haven't been to Huaqing Palace, it's dozens of miles outside Chang'an City, where it's as warm as spring, and I heard that due to the mild and humid temperature, the flowers bloom early." Xue Chongxun said lightly, "In another year, if the world is more peaceful at the end of this year, I will take Dong'er to Huaqing Palace to escape the cold." ”

Murong Dong suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "I heard that the Tubo people are threatening Tuyuhun and the Jin Dynasty in the northwest, and His Majesty wants to discuss state affairs with the ministers?" But if Your Majesty accompanies me for two days in a row, will it affect my business? ”

Xue Chongxun said calmly: "I'm not the only one doing the right thing, even if I work hard, I'm too busy." The Great Jin Dynasty has tens of millions of people, and the ministers must be in charge......" he said thoughtfully, "I can't do without them, especially those who are capable and experienced. ”

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and the branches of the surrounding trees swayed, and the snowflakes hanging on them fell one after another, and suddenly the sky was full of white flowers, just like the falling cherry blossoms in late spring. Murong Dong's face was happy, "It's so beautiful!" After shouting, he ran in front of Xue Chongxun, turning in circles among the snowflakes under the tree, and the skirt fluttered with the flexible and soft body. This situation Xue Chongxun seems to be familiar, it was a few years ago in the Jin Palace, Princess Jincheng danced in the red color, he couldn't help sighing.

At this moment, there was a sound of "crunching" hurriedly stepping on the snow behind him, and the eunuch Yang Siqiao walked over, hunched his back behind Xue Chongxun's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, Xiao Dan has come to Beijing under the order of the Divine Machinery Agency, and he is asking to see him outside the Danfeng Gate." ”

Xue Chongxun's expression changed, and he turned around and asked, "Have you done what I handed over to him?" ”

Yang Siqiao said: "It seems that the specific slave and maid haven't asked in detail, so they rushed to report to the emperor first." ”

Murong Dong stopped, looked at the black and thin eunuch with exotic eyes, and then turned his gaze to Xue Chongxun: "Does the emperor have something serious to do?" ”

"It's something." Xue Chongxun smiled calmly, "But I promised to accompany you for three days to have a good walk around the Daming Palace, and this is only the second day." In this way, you go with me to meet someone, and after seeing each other, we will go to the grassland outside the Xuanwu Gate to ride horses and play. Yang Siqiao, you immediately send a decree and let Xiao Dan go to the greenhouse hall to meet him. ”

Yang Siqiao hurriedly said: "Yes, the slave maid will go to preach immediately." ”

The greenhouse hall is in the inner court, close to the harem and far away from the Danfeng Gate in the south, Xue Chongxun was a little impatient, and arrived at the place first. Murong Dong came to this side hall with him, compared with the grandeur of the Zichen Hall on the central axis, the greenhouse hall is indeed a little unimposing, but there are rockery pools in the hall with various plants, but it is more comfortable than the bare Guangsha Hall. When Murong Dong heard that he was going to meet the minister, he politely declined, but Xue Chongxun was in a good mood, he had to take her with him, and he muttered two sentences back and forth: "That's what I'm waiting for, I hope Xiao Dan won't let me down." ”

Entering the greenhouse hall, Murong Dong saw two women sitting on the side of the incense case, one wearing a bright red dress and a jewel and jade, and the other wearing a blue and red round-necked robe with a hat on his head, but at first glance it was a woman, and they were slowly writing something with a red pen. Murong Dong greeted warmly when he was in a good mood: "Are the two sisters helping His Majesty deal with political affairs?" Xue Chongxun pointed at Yao Wan and said, "She is not your sister." Yao Wan put the brush on the inkstone and bowed: "Meet Princess Tuyuhun, I'm just a slave beside Your Majesty." "Murong Dong hasn't been officially named a concubine yet, so Yao Wan can't be called a mother. The princess of the river smiled and praised: "The little princess is really beautiful, and your sister Murong Zhaoyuan (Murong Yan) is also so beautiful?" Murong Dong naturally didn't understand the situation, so he replied casually: "My sister is much more beautiful than me." The princess of the river smiled, "Tsk, that's amazing." If my sister didn't stay in Fu Qi City, our harem of the Great Jin Dynasty would be returned, and her mother's surname would be Murong if she didn't have the surname Li. ”

Xue Chongxun glanced at his sister Princess Hezhong and said, "Dong'er, you stay here first, don't you really want to learn to write Chinese characters, go and see Yao Wan write." I went out for a while, and told Xiao Dan to come directly to the corridor in the garden. ”

He didn't wait long, Xiao Dan and the eunuch Yang Siqiao didn't take long to trot to the corridor, Xiao Dan came up and bowed to the ground without saying a word, shouting that the emperor has no borders. Yang Siqiao couldn't help it, and when he saw that everyone was kneeling, he had to kneel on the cold stone slab and salute. Xue Chongxun said: "Calm down, get down to business." ”

Xiao Dan didn't get up, and excitedly took out a stack of paper from his arms and held it above his head with both hands: "Your Majesty's blessing, according to the order, the barrel of the 'musket' is forged in steel skin, which can withstand the explosion of gunpowder, and the lead bullet can penetrate the wooden board a hundred steps away. ”

Yang Siqiao took the opportunity to get up from the cold stone slab and handed over the file. In front of the officials, Xue Chongxun suppressed the excitement in his heart, took the stack of paper and flipped through it carefully, which was full of pictures and texts, recording the size, materials and test numbers. Xiao Dan was still kneeling, and he didn't see Xue Chongxun affirming his research and development results as if he was still hanging a heart, and he didn't make a sound. Yang Siqiao also bowed to the side.

"It's a musket, and it's long and heavy, and it takes two people to fire." Xue Chongxun said.

Xiao Dan took a look and wiped his sweat: "The fire rope painted by His Majesty, Wei Chen couldn't think of what materials to use for a while, and he couldn't make a mechanism." Gonggong Yang urged him tightly, so Weichen had to make such a musket first, and asked His Majesty to surrender. ”

Yang Siqiao frowned and said: "The miscellaneous family urged you, which means that you should not slack off, but I didn't ask you to fool your majesty with things that do not meet your requirements!" ”

"Forget it." Xue Chongxun waved his hand, "The rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step." It's good that you can make a finished product like this so quickly, I don't think you can make it. Brought physical goods into Beijing? ”

Xiao Dan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." Weichen entered Beijing with the first batch of finished muskets and more than 10 craftsmen who actually participated in the forging and testing, all of whom were outside the palace. ”

Xue Chongxun handed the drawing file to Yang Sixuan: "The things on the paper are not as good as what you see with your own eyes, you ask them to go to the Xuanwumen campus, I want to see it with my own eyes." If it is true that as you described, I will never break my word, and you will immediately be promoted to the fourth rank of the Northern Ya Weapons Supervisor. ”

"Emperor Xie Longen, the minister doesn't dare to lie at all!" Xiao Dan said overjoyed.

Xue Chongxun said to Yang Siqiao again: "Ask Yin Ci to take people and horses to go to Xuanwu Gate with me, and move some wooden planks to the school field as targets." ”

After the arrangements were made, Xue Chongxun returned to the greenhouse hall and called Murong Dong, the princess of Tuyuhun, to go to Xuanwu Gate to ride a horse. They went out of the greenhouse hall and traveled north, and Murong Dong was in the same car with him to show his favor. Xue Chongxun said: "We Han people have a custom during the New Year, moving bamboo poles to smash the 'crackling' sound, which is not only lively but also has a sign of bad luck in the old year. Today I'm going to accompany you to see something more exciting, so don't be so scared that you fall off the horse. Murong Dong raised his chin and said, "The women of the Xianbei clan have very good riding skills, I won't fall off the horse so easily!" ”

The two of them went to Xuanwu Gate with a smile and a smile, and Yin Ci had already led a team of Shence Army cavalry to greet them. Xue Chongxun got out of the car, asked the soldiers to lead the horse over, and turned over as soon as he stepped on the stirrup, and the horse's body was very vigorous. Murong Yan also flipped over a white horse with the same swiftness, and gave Xue Chongxun a look that still didn't admit defeat. Xue Chongxun laughed and said to the soldiers: "She is the younger sister of King Tuyuhun Khan, and now she is my concubine. Everyone has made great contributions in the future, and I asked Princess Tuyuhun to reward you with treasures with her own hands. The soldiers laughed when they heard this. Xue Chongxun rode his horse towards the palace gate, and Murong Dong followed, and a group of ironclad knights started their horses, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves roared majesticly.

Coming to the grassland outside the Xuanwu Gate, Murong Dong and Yin Ci were located on the left and right sides of Xue Chongxun, and the other soldiers and horses lined up, only to see that the planks had been set up in the distance. After waiting for a while, Xiao Dan and the others came on horseback with a carriage, reported to Xue Chongxun, and then asked them to show them the new weapons. Xue Chongxun turned his head to Yin Ci and said: "This kind of musket is the only one in the world, and the first batch will be equipped with the Shence Army, if you have to step up your training, it may come in handy soon." Yin Ci replied with a fist.

Xiao Dan was busy directing his subordinates to perform new gadgets, only to see them carry out a few things as long as horse lances from the carriage, and two people carried each gun to the middle of the school field, which seemed to be much heavier than the horse giving. The barrel of the gun was made of wood, and the gun on the school yard was black except for a wooden handle, and it seemed to be all iron. The craftsmen took measuring tools and scooped gunpowder from the front to the barrel, then loaded it with lead bullets, and finally had a wooden stick to send something into it to block it and press it tightly. It took a while to finish loading, and the queue was not very neat because they were not sergeants because they were not sergeants. Each gun has two operations, one of which has a thick cloth on its shoulder, carries the barrel, and stands in the opposite direction facing the person holding the handle of the gun, holding a piece of red-hot charcoal in his hand, as if responsible for ignition; The other person aimed.

After getting ready, Xiao Dan gave an order, and the people carrying the guns lit the fire with coals, only to hear a few loud noises of "......bang bang bang", thick smoke rising, Xue Chongxun and the others had never seen this kind of scene, they were frightened and ran wildly, and the school field was chaotic.

The generals hurriedly reined in the war horses and came over to escort them, but Xue Chongxun and the princess were both good at riding, and they had already controlled the horses. Everyone looked at each other and turned their heads to look into the middle of the school field. By this time several horsemen had already ridden forward to fetch the planks.

There are no holes and no traces on some wooden boards, it is estimated that they missed and did not hit, but there are two holes clearly printed on them, and the two-finger-wide wooden board is directly pierced a hundred steps away, and if the lead shot hits the centaurs, the effect is self-evident.
