Chu Ran's "mother" Wei is not his predecessor's biological mother.

The biological mother of the predecessor of this body died ten years ago, and it was this Wei who brought him up. After the death of the first emperor, Wei became the queen mother as a matter of course.

In my impression, Wei took good care of the predecessor of this body. And Wei's age is not very old, he has not yet reached the age of forty.

There are many rules in the palace, Chu Ran just ascended the throne the day before yesterday, and he should go to the Queen Mother yesterday to say goodbye. It's just that I was delayed for a day because I was stabbed unconscious, so it's a bit rude to not go today.

There was no way, Chu Ran finished washing, and went to the Taihe Hall to ask for peace at half past five in the early morning.

went out and took a sedan chair carried by sixteen people, and slowly walked towards the Taihe Palace.

The Taihe Palace is slightly smaller than the Qiankun Palace, but because it is the residence of the Queen Mother, it is naturally gorgeous.

Entering the main hall, Chu Ran saw a beautiful woman sitting on a wide sandalwood chair in the center.

There were two older palace maids beside the beautiful woman, standing dignifiedly.

"Say hello to the Queen Mother."

Chu Ran stepped forward and saluted slightly.

Originally, he was reluctant to do such a thing, but now that he has become an emperor here, some things cannot be avoided.

"The emperor doesn't have to be polite." The beautiful woman bowed slightly, looking dignified and natural: "The emperor sits." ”

Chu Ran felt a little acting at this time, and then sat on the wooden chair on one side.

"The emperor encountered an assassin the day before yesterday, but did he find out the mastermind behind it?"

Picking up the tea bowl on the wooden table next to him, Wei asked.

"Erchen hasn't found out yet, but this matter will definitely be arranged."

Chu Ran naturally wanted to know who wanted to assassinate him, after all, it was a matter of his safety. It's just that the palace has been running back and forth with the real world for the past two days, and I haven't found time to check these problems.

"Three days later, it will be the time for the draft girl, and the emperor will have to choose carefully." Putting down the teacup, Wei said with a smile: "The matter of extending the heir is a big deal, the emperor must be careful!" ”

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Chu Ran was stunned.

His predecessor still has no wife, and it is no wonder that the emperor is already sixteen years old, and it stands to reason that there should have been countless beauties in the harem a long time ago. It's still a little late to get married.

Seeing the queen for the first time, of course Chu Ran can't show his flaws, so naturally he won't talk too much. After a few brief conversations, Chu Ran hurriedly left the Taihe Palace.

"Xiao Dongzi, go to the armory of the military department."

Out of the Taihe Palace, Chu Ran commanded Zhao Yindong.

Xiao Dongzi couldn't help but wonder why the emperor went to the armory in the morning. But he didn't dare to slack off, and still shouted loudly: "Drive the armory!" ”

The armory was on the edge of the palace, separated only by a wall from the outer city.

The reason why it is located here is for the safety of the palace, and the second is for the convenience of obtaining ordnance.

About twenty minutes later, Chu Ran came to the door of the armory.

When the guards guarding the armory saw the emperor coming in person, they knelt down and shouted three times, and some of them trembled slightly with excitement.

"You will be here when I go in a while, and no one will be allowed to come in without my order."

Turning his head and commanding Zhao Yindong, Chu Ran raised his feet and stepped into the armory.

The armory is a three-way courtyard, with the outermost two sides of the storeroom containing commonly used equipment. The equipment was used by the Praetorian Guards in the palace, and in addition to the finished weapons and armor, there was also a room for repairing the equipment.

The second entrance is a little smaller, with only four storerooms inside. The contents were weapons and equipment for the use of officers, and the equipment was better than the outermost ones.

And the innermost large warehouse is not allowed to enter by ordinary people, and it is placed all kinds of weapons and equipment from the royal collection.

Naturally, there were many guards guarding the armory, but when they saw Chu Ran and Zhao Yindong coming in, they all knelt on the ground and saluted. Even if they didn't know the emperor, the personal eunuchs around the emperor still knew.

In front of the innermost armory, Zhao Yindong pushed them away for Chu Ran, and then guarded outside.

After entering the warehouse, Chu Ran saw that there were many wooden shelves around him, and all kinds of weapons were placed on them.

Knives, guns, clubs, axes, hooks and forks, the varieties of weapons in the royal arsenal are naturally not ordinary and comparable.

After Chu Ran briefly turned around, he picked a silver short sword more than a foot long.

After taking the short sword, Chu Ran tested it, this short sword was extremely sharp, and it easily cut off the two-inch square wooden chair leg on the side.

I don't know what kind of material it is, but the royal stuff can't be too bad. So Chu Ran didn't hesitate at all and put the short sword in the storage space.

In addition to this, he picked two more short crossbows. The short crossbow is quite meticulously made, and it looks quite powerful. At the same time, Chu Ran also took two wooden boxes of crossbow arrows, about two hundred.

It's a pity that Chu Ran searched in the armory several times and didn't find a gun.

And with his memory, Chu Ran didn't find any information related to firearms.

Maybe there are no guns in this world, which makes Chu Ran a little disappointed.

But the next moment, Chu Ran's gaze stayed on a shelf on the left.

There are two boxes on the shelf, which contain small black balls.

When he came to the shelf, Chu Ran saw that the diameter of those small black balls was about five or six centimeters. Pick one up, and it feels quite heavy.

His eyes swept to the side, and a wooden sign read: "Turning the sky and thundering" three words.

No way! Isn't this a grenade!!

Chu Ran recognized this thing from the memory of this body at once.

It is a grenade-like thing that has been used by people who have used it when they went out hunting with the Emperor before.

As long as you throw the thunderbolt out, it will activate the guidance device inside when it hits a hard object. The thunderbolt is filled with gunpowder, and if you throw it, it will explode.

It's just that the power of the Sky Turning Thunder is much smaller than that of the grenade. According to Chu Ran's recollections, the diameter of the sky-turning thunder explosion was about two meters at most.

After all, this is a relatively backward world in technology, and if there is really something like a grenade here, Chu Ran will probably be scared.

But even this is enough, in the world of such cold weapons, such weapons are already relatively advanced. In the game's terms, this is at least a mass damage weapon.

It's just that the number of sky-turning thunders on the shelves is not much, only more than 30. Chu Ran was unceremonious at the moment, and directly put all the earth-shaking thunders into the storage space.

Weapons that are too big are not suitable, and after taking these weapons, Chu Ran walked out of the armory.

The group returned to the dormitory, and after having breakfast, Chu Ran returned to the real world after coming to his dormitory under the pretext that he wanted to cultivate.
