"......" Lu Darong wanted to go back to the past vaguely, but he didn't expect that the emperor would let him light the musket in public.

"What? Wouldn't it? Emperor Jianyuan asked lightly, "But didn't you say it just now, did you personally light the medicine cylinder?" ”

"This flying musket was researched by Wechen, and Wechen will naturally be." Lu Darong had no choice but to reply, "Weichen, let's light the flying musket......"

Lu Darong stood in front of the row of flying muskets, and first picked up a flying musket and looked at it.

Then he put it down and took a throwing musket again.

I repeated this several times, and it seemed that I was choosing a flying musket, but in fact, I took advantage of the selection of a flying musket and carefully observed the structure of the flying musket.

When he was almost done, he held the musket in his left hand and the fire breaker in his right hand.

Lu Darong first opened the bamboo tube cover of the fire fold, and shook it gently, and the fire fold caught fire.

Then point the flame at the cartridge of the flying musket and wait and see what happens.

However, after a few breaths, the cartridge did not respond at all, so he hurriedly knocked on the cartridge.

But he had just burned the medicine cartridge with fire, and now the cartridge was so hot that it burned several large blisters on his palm, which made him grin and even more hurried.

At this moment, a piece of mud fell out of the cartridge, but he didn't notice it.

"Bang !!"

Somehow, the musket suddenly spewed out a puff of smoke, followed by a scorching spark.

It happened that Lu Darong was thinking there with the head of the gun, and he was choked with smoke all over his face, and his chest was also ignited by flames, so frightened that he quickly threw away the flying musket and rolled on the ground.

Seeing that Lu Darong's upper body was on fire, some officials stepped forward to put out the fire, and some guards carried buckets of water and poured it down, so that the fire was extinguished.

At this moment, Lu Darong was soaked, and the clothes on his chest were scorched with a few tattered holes.

In particular, the left side of the chest is red and swollen, and it looks like it has been burned, and it looks so embarrassed.

"Lu Aiqing, as the person who researched the flying musket, you actually set yourself on fire." At the top, Emperor Jianyuan questioned, "I'm afraid this can't be said, right?" ”

"Although Wechen once lit the cannon barrel, it was still being studied at that time, and later after Wechen's many improvements, this flying musket has changed somewhat, and Wechen is also re-exploring, so he missed and injured himself for a while." Lu Darong argued.

"Even if you are groping, it is impossible to miss and injure yourself, this mistake is too low-level, I really suspect that this flying musket was not researched by you!"

Hearing this, Lu Darong endured the burning pain in his chest, and knelt down with a "poof", "These weapons are all painstakingly researched by Wechen, but they have just been made, and I can't figure it out for a while, and I ask the emperor to give Wechen another chance!" ”

"......" Emperor Jianyuan was silent for a few breaths, then glanced at the new weapon on the school ground, and his eyes fell on a crossbow, "Okay, I will give you another chance, you go and try that crossbow!" ”

Lu Darong followed Emperor Jianyuan's line of sight, landed on the complex crossbow, gritted his teeth and responded, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Enduring pain and walking in front of the crossbow, Lu Darong raised the crossbow with his right hand, and first explained, "This crossbow has a bow body of three feet three, a string length of two feet five, the bow is made of tough mountain mulberry wood, and a solid sandalwood is used as a crossbow body, hemp is a string, light and tough, has a long range, and can penetrate heavy armor ......"

Emperor Jianyuan: "How far is the range?" ”

"Weichen doesn't know for the time being..."Lu Darong had a burning pain on his body, and he frowned and replied: "Wechen won't know until he tries it." ”

Emperor Jianyuan waved his palm, which was allowed.

Lu Darong held the tip of the crossbow in his left hand, put his right hand on the switch, and leaned back slightly on his upper body, firing at the open space in the distance.

As soon as he heard the sound of "boom", an arrow was shot from the crossbow.

The arrow shot fast and far, and finally landed on the flat bottom in the distance.

Seeing this, Lu Darong breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain quite confidently, "Your Majesty, just like Weichen just now, gently press the switch, and this crossbow can shoot arrows, but its power is stronger than ordinary bows and arrows, and the arrow that Weichen shot just now has a range of at least more than four hundred steps!" ”

Seeing this, the onlookers praised one after another.

"Oh my God, with a range of more than 400 steps, this combat power is too strong!"

"As far as I know, our Eastern Liang Kingdom has no bow and crossbow as good as it."

"Don't talk about the Eastern Liang Kingdom, even any country is not as good as our crossbow."

"Lord Lu is amazing, how did you develop such a powerful weapon......

In the face of everyone's praise, Lu Darong was still holding the crossbow in his hand.

He was so immersed in everyone's sycophants that he forgot about the burning pain in his chest.

At that moment, I wonder if he accidentally pressed another switch on the crossbow.

"Woo Woo ......"

Suddenly, a dozen arrows shot out of the crossbow in unison.

And the crossbow in Lu Darong's hand was facing Emperor Jianyuan at the moment, and those arrows that were inexplicably shot out were shooting straight towards Emperor Jianyuan.

"Escort! Rapid Escort !! ”

For a while, the entire school field was in chaos, and the Imperial Forest Army and the royal guards all cleared the rain of arrows for the emperor.

With the escort of the Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards, Emperor Jianyuan was not injured, but several of the Royal Guards and the Imperial Guards were hit by arrows.

A minister of the DPRK and the Central Government even said to Lu Darong: "Lord Lu, you are so dignified, what is your intention when you suddenly pointed your arrow at the emperor?!" ”

At this moment, looking at the guards who were blocking the arrows for him, Emperor Jianyuan looked at Lu Darong angrily, and his eyes turned into a sharp sword that pierced the other party, which made people shudder.

"Lu Darong! As a person who studies weapons, you first couldn't understand the flying musket, set yourself on fire, and now you have fired dozens of arrows at me, which is really a good skill. ”

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Darong was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "The emperor... Your Majesty, Weichen didn't know how this crossbow suddenly shot out more than a dozen arrows, this... It's none of our business......"

Emperor Jianyuan: "Before this, no wonder the prince said that you replaced Jiang Yongjie's fame, I didn't believe it at first, but now I see with my own eyes that you mistakenly tried the weapon, I believe it!" ”

Lu Darong looked terrified, "Your Majesty, Wechen didn't replace the fame of others, it's just that these weapons have just been developed, and Wechen doesn't know much about them, as long as you give Wechen a little time, Wechen will be able to use these weapons proficiently......"

No wonder those weapons were hidden by the prince as soon as they were made, and then they were asked by the emperor to go.

It turns out that the crown prince and the emperor are waiting for him here!

"You don't have to make excuses anymore, if that weapon was researched by you, you can't not understand it, let alone make two major mistakes in a row!" Emperor Jianyuan ordered in a deep voice, "Lu Darong replaced the fame of others, and shot me with arrows, and now he is removed from the post of Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, demoted to a concubine, and asked to be beheaded on the same day!" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen never thought of shooting you... Wechen is innocent and wronged......" Lu Darong kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy.

However, no matter how much he begged for mercy, he was still taken down by the guards.

A while ago, he was still immersed in the joy of being promoted, but he didn't expect to be demoted to a concubine today, and he was about to face beheading.

I knew that it was better to listen to the prince's words, and I might be able to fight for a lighter sentence.

If nothing else, at least it can save your life!

Unlike now, when the official position is gone, the life will be gone......

After Lu Darong was forked away, as for the injured Imperial Forest Army and guards, Emperor Jianyuan asked them to be carried to the Tai Hospital for treatment.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Jianyuan handed the few pieces of paper in his hand to Cai Yuchun, and glanced at Cai Yuchun.

Cai Yuchun took the pieces of paper and said sharply: "Your Majesty, here is an original manuscript sent by Jiang Yongjie from the border pass, with detailed annotations written on it, and I will read it to you here." ”

So, Cai Yuchun read the role and use of the weapon separately.

While he was reading, an official from the Ministry of Industry tried it out on the spot according to the method of use.

According to Cai Yuchun's methods, from the flying musket to the divine arm crossbow, and then to the chariot, there was nothing wrong during the period.

As soon as the two sides were compared, Emperor Jianyuan knew who was real and who was fake.

After reviewing the power of the new weapon, Emperor Jianyuan was very satisfied, and immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to hurry up the construction of weapons and send them to the western border.

At the same time, he issued a holy decree to promote Jiang Yongjie from a fifth-grade garrison to a fourth-rank defensive lieutenant!

When the weapon is ready, then the Holy Decree will be transported to the western border with the weapon!

On the same day, Lu Darong confessed in his cell and was beheaded.

However, he only admitted that he had inadvertently picked up the weapon artwork in the Ministry of Works, and that he had taken care of the matter alone, and did not confess that it was given to him by Lu Meiren.

As for Pei Xuanling's side, he will definitely not confess Jiang Shishi, just that this is a matter of the previous dynasty, and it has nothing to do without a harem.

**

Early the next morning, Donggong Chen Province.

Lu Meiren, who was congratulated by the concubines a few days ago, was ridiculed by everyone today.

"Sister Lu, we thought that the weapon artwork was researched by your father, but we didn't expect him to plagiarize other people's credits." Even Concubine Ruan, who has never liked to talk much, shook her head, she really looked down on Lu Darong's behavior.

Concubine Su: "I'll just say, then Lu Darong has been an official for many years and has been unknown, why did he suddenly open his mind?" It turned out to be plagiarizing someone else's work! ”

Concubine Tang glanced at Lu Meiren with disdain, "What kind of father is there, what kind of daughter is raised, when the father takes the credit of others for himself, the daughter will imitate her in the East Palace......"

This Lu beauty, from her dress to her figure, is really more and more like Jiang Liangdi!

When he first entered the palace, he was still a round figure, but now his figure has gradually become upright and backward, and there is a tendency to get closer to Jiang Liangdi.

Concubine Su looked at Concubine Tang obliquely, "I remember that Sister Tang didn't say that last time, didn't you say that Lu Darong, as an official of the Ministry of Industry, researched weapons as a common thing, and also said that Jiang Chongjin, as the supervisor of the heavens, researched farm tools and was suspected by people......

This is a slap in the face, right? It is clearly Lu Darong's credit for plagiarizing Jiang Yongjie!

Concubine Tang pursed her lips, "Who knew that Lu Darong was so shameless, and now he deserves it." ”

Lu Meiren was already immersed in the grief of losing her father, even in the face of everyone's ridicule and ridicule, she just lowered her head and said nothing, her eyes were full of sad tears and tears of humiliation.

After satirizing Lu Meiren, the concubines turned to congratulate Jiang Shishi.

Jiang Shishi also learned about this today, and in the face of everyone's congratulations, she responded with a light smile.

After about a stick of incense, the morning province dispersed.

Lu Meiren returned to her own courtyard with red eyes, and the brocade quilt lying in the inner room was crying.

Dongmei, the personal palace maid, stood aside and asked nervously: "Little master, now that the adults are gone, you say... Does this involve you? ”

After all, the weapon artwork was picked up by the little master, or did she help pass it on to Lu Darong outside the palace, can she not be nervous?

"Shh Lu Meiren sat up, wiping tears from her eyes as she rummaged under the pillow.

"My father didn't mention me before he died, if the prince really doted on Jiang Liangdi, naturally he wouldn't mention Jiang Liangdi's loss of artwork." Lu Meiren found the picked up artwork under her pillow.

She lit the oil lamp at the bedside with a fire breaker and threw the artwork into the oil lamp and burned it to ashes.

Looking at the ashes in the oil lamp, Lu Meiren cautiously instructed with swollen eyes: "Dongmei, you have to remember, don't mention this matter in the future, that artwork was picked up by my father in the Ministry of Industry, and it has nothing to do with us......

She clearly knew that if she wanted to survive in the East Palace, she would have to swallow her anger and pretend not to know anything!

Facing Lu Meiren's serious eyes, Dongmei nodded again and again, "The slave knows ......"

was found out by the prince what she had done, and Lu Meiren thought that she would fall out of favor.

Unexpectedly, the prince summoned her to the front yard three nights later.

Lu Meiren went to the front yard with a worried heart.

The prince didn't spoil her much, not to mention that the prince knew that she had made a mistake, Jiang Liangdi must have also taken eye medicine in front of the prince, but the prince still recruited her, presumably nothing good!

It's just that I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the prince's gourd?
