The northwest corner of the Imperial Palace, once the Palace of Fireworks.

The young emperor finally couldn't hold back, and today he came to this mansion for the second time, which looked ordinary from the outside.

After finishing the matter of the Firearms Research Institute, before leaving Beijing and returning to the garrison of the Northern Army, the general repeatedly told the Holy Boss that the Firearms Research Institute should still go less, because it is still very dangerous, and it will not be good if there is a violent explosion and injure the dragon's body. Your Majesty can go every few days, but don't go too much.

Naturally, the saint also knew what was at stake, but it was always difficult to control his desire to enter this mansion.

So this afternoon, the emperor who had just come in the morning couldn't help but come again in the afternoon.

The accompanying eunuch wanted to persuade a few words, but still didn't say anything. The saint will bring here, of course, the confidant eunuchs, the guards, and naturally the henchmen guards.

A eunuch and three guards, in the bowing of the guards, walked into the gate.

The emperor walked slowly in the house with his hands behind his back, as if he were walking. After walking around, I still came to the military division.

The emperor saw several people gathered together on the table and looking at something. The emperor also walked over to take a look.

It turned out to be a couple of drawings. The emperor followed everyone to watch, looking at it, the emperor couldn't help but sigh, and said, "What is this? Why have I never seen or heard of it, is it a divine beast in the Book of Mountains and Seas, it's not like it..."

The strategists, who were all busy with their own affairs, noticed that the emperor was coming. So they knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up, all of you, and get busy with you. The saint frowned slightly, a little unhappy that this good atmosphere of serious study was broken.

Everyone was not polite, and the emperor got up when he talked about it, thanked him, and then got up and continued to do his job.

Every time the Holy One came, they knelt down and kowtowed, and the Holy One was very unhappy, and when they were busy and ignored the Holy One, the Holy One was very interested.

Chen Letian's childhood classmate answered the emperor's question: "Your Majesty, these pictures are a kind of weapon pictures. ”

The emperor looked at the picture seriously and said, "This thing is shaped like a burning stick, how can it kill people?"

Shi Congshan said: "Your Majesty, please see, this thing has a movable spring here, and when you press here, you can launch something from the iron pipe above." As he spoke, he pointed to the finger-thick murderous iron bullet on another picture, and said, "There is also gunpowder in this thing." ”

The emperor nodded, put down the blueprint in his hand, and fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked, "Where is this thing?"

The teacher is good: "The minister doesn't know. ”

The emperor sighed, and looked at the neatly arranged paper on the table, which was full of all kinds of unheard of things.

The emperor was itchy and couldn't wait to arrest Li Rongsheng immediately and torture him. And to arrest the initiator as well.

However, he had already agreed with Li Rongsheng that he would not let that person show up first, and the emperor would be difficult to chase after him.

Suppressing the strong desire in his heart, the emperor wandered inside for more than an hour before coming out. Small composition

On the way to the study, the emperor said to his henchmen and eunuchs, "Little Dezi, do you have any ideas?"

The henchman eunuch's bowed body bent even lower, and said: "Back to the emperor, Xiao Dezi didn't dare to look around inside, but judging from what His Majesty said to those people, the villain felt that this firearms bureau was a matter of merit." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Don't repeat what I said, say what you really think." ”

The henchman Xiao Dezi thought for a while and said, "The villain said it." The villain thinks that the general may still have hidden secrets. ”

The emperor frowned, then relieved, and said, "You are cunning." ”

The minions were terrified. The confidant Xiao Dezi bowed and said. Saying what the Holy God knows and saying what is in one's heart, the former is the way to protect oneself, and the latter is the way to take death. But the former is suspected of perfunctory sainthood, and Xiao Dezi said that 'the general is afraid that there is still a secret secret', but it happens to be known by the saint, and it is the words in his heart, which is the best.

For the careful thinking of the henchmen around him, the emperor is not easy to blame. Xiao Dezi followed him from childhood to adulthood, and when he was still a prince, Xiao Dezi took his life to take care of him. He doesn't want to ask too much.

The emperor even heard from people from the West say that there is a kind of panacea that can make a man's words grow again, and the emperor even personally sent people to the West to find it, just to let Xiao Dezi be a man again, and then let him be an official.

But after ascending the throne as emperor, thinking about this idea when I was young, I thought it was very ridiculous.

Xiao Dezi didn't know how to read, and he was castrated at the age of six and sent to the palace. Serve the emperor's family all day long.

Even if he recovers his male body and puts it outside, what can he do? Xiao Dezi is afraid that he will not be able to learn to straighten his waist and talk to people in his life. Don't know any tricks to make a living.

So, that idea, it was ridiculous. If you release a bird that has grown in a cage since childhood, it may starve to death in less than three days. It will only live in a cage, and there is nothing else it can do.

Back in the study, the emperor picked up the pen. Xiao Dezi hurriedly stepped forward to grind.

The emperor sat at the table, staring at the snow-white rice paper, pondering for a moment, and dipping his pen into ink.

Xiao Dezi glanced at the paper and found that His Majesty, who was not good at Danqing, actually painted, which he had never seen before.

His Majesty often said that painting is just a small way, and the emperor is not doing his job when he learns to paint.

"Little Dezi, what do you think of my painting?" the emperor drew for a while, and then suddenly said.

The henchman eunuch looked at it and immediately didn't know how to answer. There are a few strokes on the rice paper, and the outline is a bit like a burning stick, to be exact, there is something similar to a tree branch on this burning stick. Anyway, I can't tell what it looks like. And then there's His Majesty's painting, which is really... I don't dare to compliment it. The henchman eunuch was stunned for a while before he said: "Your Majesty's paintings are unfathomable, and the servants are not very easy to understand..."

"Haha. The emperor laughed, then tore the paper to shreds and threw it into a nearby bucket.

It was just a whim that he remembered the delicate weapon that could kill people for miles, and he wanted to learn to draw it. However, since he was a child, he can count the number of times he has picked up a pen and painted with one hand, and he is really not suitable for painting.

glanced at Xiao Dezi, Xiao Dezi's appearance was really a little funny. I obviously think my painting is very poor, but I can't say it clearly, it seems to be very tired.

But the emperor thought about it, this person, as long as he lives in the world, there is no easy time. Unless you're content with the present, content with the status quo. For the things at hand, you don't want to be conscientious, just have the attitude that one day is a day, then you won't be tired.

But whoever wants to do something is bound to get tired.
