"Meow!" Xiaobai screamed, as if to remind the palace people who were serving the meal, and the little paw gently tapped the edge of the plate.

Zhu Youxiao sneered and nodded, and the palace people immediately took two pieces of pickled chicken and put them on an empty plate.

Xiaobai's head turned left and right, and then walked to the five-silk belly silk plate, stretched out his paws and nodded.

You're a cat, what kind of chicken and belly do you eat?

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the plate of fish that only moved one chopstick, and specially made it for Xiaobai, thinking that cats love to eat fish, but it seems that he is lonely and unheard.

Xiaobai finished ordering, came to the plate, lowered his head and ate it, it was very fragrant and delicious.

Could this be something dressed as a cat, Zhu Youxiao put down his chopsticks and looked at this good-looking and smart cat.

………………

The sun shines on the body, even though it is winter, it makes people feel happy, even if it does not make people feel warm.

But Shoufu Ye Xianggao came to the Qianqing Palace with a few books, but he was a little heavy on the way.

The reason is very simple, the young emperor issued a decree until the cabinet, and the Chinese army guerrilla Sun Degong, the governor of Xuanliaodong, Wang Huazhen, entered Beijing to meet him.

In addition to calling Sun Degong, there are also Xiong Tingbi's pre-military praise paintings, and the head of the staff Hong Fujiao.

In the eyes of the ministers, the young emperor could not remove Wang Huazhen, and the dispatch of the military department officials and directors to Liaodong was also vetoed, so they could only retreat and separately summon Jingfu's cronies to Beijing for inquiry.

As for the guerrilla attack of the Chinese army, Sun Degong, and the head of the staff, Hong Fujiao, were all lowly officials and small positions, and the summons to Beijing were nothing, and they could not affect the major events in Liaodong.

Since this is the case, the ministers feel that it is good to give the young emperor a face. Yesterday at noon, the young emperor's displeasure was obvious, so why bother to make the emperor unhappy because of trivial matters.

Shoufu Ye Xiang Gao also agreed, but thought deeper.

Because this is a rare decree since the young emperor ascended the throne, the previous decrees were all rewards and the like, just a formality.

And although this time it was a petty official who was summoned, it involved the affairs of Liaodong. If the Young Emperor had put forward such an opinion, the court would probably have passed it, but the Young Emperor did not go through this procedure.

Whether it was the young emperor's impatience, or a deliberate temptation, or venting the resentment in his heart, Ye Xianggao was not sure.

Therefore, Ye Xianggao wanted to find out and have peace of mind.

At the same time, he also wanted to take the opportunity to advise. One is the early dynasty, the emperor was not diligent, and he was to be written into the history books; The other is this middle order, it's not impossible, it's better to change the way.

There was still some distance from the Qianqing Palace, and suddenly he heard a "boom", which frightened Ye Xianggao.

After identifying the direction, Ye Xianggao's face changed, he lifted his robe and sped up his pace, and went straight to the Qianqing Palace.

Outside the Qianqing Palace at this time, Zhu Youjiao led a group of palace people to watch several officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who had been summoned to perform firearms.

Because it was a performance in the palace, the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion only brought shotguns and three-eyed guns. Personally commanding them is the current supreme duke of the Ming Dynasty - the seventh British Duke Zhang Weixian.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian was in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, in charge of the Beijing camp, and made great efforts in the palace transfer case, personally carrying the sedan chair to carry the Emperor of the Apocalypse from the Qianqing Palace to the Wenhua Hall to inherit the throne.

In history, when Wei Zhongxian was powerful, he didn't dare to do anything to Zhang Weixian.

After the shotgun was fired, Zhu Youxiao was noncommittal, but shook his head secretly.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian stood beside the young emperor and introduced him to the characteristics and power of the three-eyed gun.

This three-eyed gun sounds pretty good, the three guns can shoot in turns, and can be used as a hammer to smash people.

But in fact, the body tube is too short, and the range can be imagined; It is true that it can fire three bullets in a row, but it is also time-consuming and laborious to reload.

Compared with the lethality and accuracy of arquebuses such as the Bird Gun, the three-eyed gun is far inferior.

Twenty or thirty meters? Zhu Youxiao thinks that it is just like that, the fifty or eighty steps mentioned in the book, if you believe it, your head will be in water.

Well, the ancients tended to confuse the effective killing range with the maximum range. If you put a monkey in the sky, you can go out twenty or thirty meters, is it useful?

Zhu Youxiao got up and walked over and said, "I'll try to put it a few times." "I'm going to try this well-known Ming army weapon in person.

Well, it's normal for men to be interested in guns, even if it's just a backward musket. Even if it's a cannon and listen to it, it's quite enjoyable.

Besides, Zhu Youxiao didn't dare to fight birds, because he felt that this game was very dangerous, and the quality of the firearms of the Ming Army was a lot on the Internet in later generations.

These three-eyed guns are very heavy, so there should be no problem.

"Your Majesty, never!" As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words fell, he was interrupted by an exclamation in unison.

The one who was close was Zhang Weixian, and the one who was a little farther away was Ye Shoufu, who was rushing over, both of them looked panicked and eager, and they hurriedly came up to block it.

Are you kidding?

The emperor has a golden body, you let him try to set off the musket, in case something happens—even if it definitely won't happen, this must be discouraged, for the duty of the minister!

Zhu Youxiao was stopped, a little displeased, his face sank, and he said, "It's just a firefighter, why not?" ”

"Your Majesty is a member of the Daming Society, how can you easily get into danger?" Ye Xianggao gasped and dissuaded.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at the British Gong Zhang Weixian, pursed the corners of his mouth, and asked, "British Gong, is this firearm of inferior quality, and it is actually life-threatening to cast it?" ”

This-Zhang Weixian was a little speechless.

To say that the fire gun is of inferior quality is not to belittle the Shenji Battalion, and it is also suspected of dereliction of duty; But if you want to pat your chest and say it's okay, then how can you stop the emperor from casting it?

"Your Majesty, this firearm was brought into the palace by the British Duke, and it was carefully selected, and there is no problem." Ye Xianggao hurriedly bowed down and said: "The soldiers in charge of the demonstration are also skilled, so let them demonstrate, and it is the same with Your Majesty watching from the sidelines." ”

Zhu Youxiao snorted, lost interest, and turned back to the palace.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian did not get the emperor's orders, did not dare to leave without authorization, and it was inconvenient to listen to Ye Xianggao's performance, so he arched his hand and said: "The elder of the pavilion must have something important to play, so he will wait for His Majesty's summons in the side hall first." ”

Ye returned the salute to Gao and said, "Guogong please." ”

"Xuan Cabinet First Auxiliary Ye Xiang Gao into the Palace." A eunuch walked out of the temple door and screamed.

Zhang Weixian gave up his hand again and went to the side hall with his men.

Ye Xianggao was summoned into the temple, knelt down and kowtowed, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Let's get flat!" Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and said indifferently: "Ye Aiqing is here, what is the matter?" ”

Ye Xiang Gao thanked him for getting up, first handed the two books to the palace people for forwarding, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the etiquette regulations for His Majesty's wedding drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, as well as the accounting documents of the Ministry of Households, please read and approve your Majesty's instructions." ”

Even if it is a small family, marriage is also a big event, and it must always be as beautiful as possible.
