Chapter 78: Meet Emperor Longtai
Jia Rong searched in her mind and found the steps for using the flintlock pistol that she had browsed on the Internet.
Fill the gunpowder marbles, pull away the flint strike, and aim the gun at a tree fifty paces away with both hands.
The backyard is the martial arts arena, which is a place for secret guards to practice, and in the past, it was also blocked to prevent idlers from coming and going, so they did not worry about the leakage of firearms.
Jia Rong said to Zhu Zhen: "I will use that tree to test the power of this firearm." ”
After saying that, after aiming, Jia Rong pulled the trigger, and a wisp of smoke dispersed, right in the middle of the tree trunk in the distance.
This does not need to be ignited, only the firearm filled with gunpowder, which really made everyone on the field startled and stunned on the spot.
This firearm also seems to have no lead, and everyone was still waiting for Jia Rong to take out the fire fold to see where the point was, but they didn't expect to hit it with a move of their fingers.
Jia Rong smiled: "Let's go, let's take a look at the power." ”
Everyone on the field came back to their senses, surrounded Jia Rong and others, and came to the tree as thick as a thigh.
Everyone looked at it, and there was a clear bullet hole in the trunk.
It was a hole, and everyone was even more surprised, Zhu Zhen said:
"In terms of use and power, this firearm is far superior to the arquebus that was sent last time. If we can be equipped with such firearms, we can defend against a thousand or more with 300 men. ”
Zhu Zhen is a brain, Jia Rong was satisfied, and said:
"Firearms are not taken seriously now, but when you see it today, you should understand the extraordinaryness of this thing, and it just happens to fill the gap in the combat power of my secret guard."
Zhu Zhen asked, "Can this thing be equipped with a dark guard?" ”
Jia Rong said: "I can't do it now, so I still have to continue to practice martial arts, and I am skilled in bows and arrows." However, it won't be long, and when it can be produced, it should be equipped with Dark Guards. ”
After wrapping the flintlock pistol in cotton cloth, he handed it to Huzi and said:
"Huzi, you stay here and take care of the imitation of firearms, don't leak the news, and let me know if there is any result."
Huzi nodded in response, Huzi is the most credible person, and Jia Rong doesn't have to worry about it.
Then Jia Rong said to everyone on the field: "Practice seriously, we will face a lot of enemies, at this time, we will increase our ability, and when we face the enemy, it will also be one more chance to survive." ”
Without much explanation, Jia Rong returned to the front yard to prepare to leave.
When I got out of the backyard, I saw a small guy waiting at the door, looking anxious.
When the little guy saw Jia Rong coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Uncle, I just sent a letter, and the eldest princess sent the uncle to visit, saying that there was something to discuss."
Jia Rong thought for a while, but didn't come up with the reason, and said:
"Okay, I'll know about it, prepare my horse, and I'll go."
After a quick horse, Jia Rong rushed to the eldest princess's mansion.
The guards who greeted him with a smile in the past were surprisingly serious today, and the atmosphere in the Eldest Princess's Mansion at this time was really a little weird.
The guard still told Jia Rong that he would take him with him on a mission in the future, and he was completely unsmiling at this time.
took a few steps forward and saluted Jia Rong and said, "Master Jia, go to the main hall, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has been waiting for a long time." ”
Jia Rong didn't dare to slack off in such a battle, and after dismounting, the little palace maid led the way to the main hall.
Walking to the door of the main hall, it was supposed to be the eldest princess's personal guard in silver armor, but today it was wearing gold armor? Suddenly, Jia Rong had a bold conjecture in her mind.
Stepping into the threshold and looking up, as Jia Rong expected, Emperor Longtai was sitting on the couch in micro-clothes, and the eldest princess Liu Jun was sitting beside him and kneading Emperor Longtai's shoulders.
Seeing Jia Rong come in, Liu Jun smiled, stopped his hand, sat back upright, and put on the princess's shelf.
Jia Rong took a few steps forward and kowtowed: "Minister Jia Rong see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Emperor Longtai coughed lightly, and then said, "Calm down." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jia Rong got up and bowed her head and waited for Emperor Longtai to ask.
Emperor Longtai looked at this kid who made him like and hate for a while, and then thought about today's intentions, his tone was a little stern, and he scolded:
"Jia Rong, you are so bold, practice some stragglers, and take advantage of the night to kill in Tingxuan Pavilion, where do you regard the law of the country and kill people on the street?"
Although the tone was stern, Jia Rong also knew that this was just a slap in the face, if Emperor Longtai really cared, he would have arrested Jia Rong a long time ago.
Jia Rong replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister did not ask Your Majesty in advance, and the minister is really guilty." But the vicious people raised by the king of Dong'an County have really done too many pickled things, and they can only be repaid with blood. ”
"After the minister inquired that night, he was already furious, and he didn't care too much, all he thought about was the revenge of the people who had not died, and he slaughtered the courtyard in a fit of anger."
Although Emperor Longtai liked him to be so resolute and resolute, and he cared for the people, he still made a displeasure and said:
"You are right, he is guilty, but you are too arbitrary, if the secret guard is exposed that night, my plan will be in vain, do you know how much of a sin this is?"
Jia Rong bowed and said, "The minister is guilty of the crime, and he is willing to be punished by His Majesty." ”
Emperor Longtai knew that this Jia Rong must be superficial, but Emperor Longtai was very useful, if it wasn't for Jia Rong seducing Jun'er, there would be no need to embarrass him like this today.
"Okay, there are still big things you need to do in a while, so this matter will be stopped, and you must be cautious and cautious in the future, and you must not be reckless and impulsive."
Jia Rong kowtowed again and said, "The guilty minister bows to thank the emperor for his grace and respectfully obeys His Majesty's teachings." ”
Jia Rong leaned over and didn't get up, and Emperor Longtai turned his head sideways to look at Jun'er, and actually read in her eyes the kind of caring look that Empress Huining had when she accompanied him in the past.
Emperor Longtai let out a long sigh and said to Liu Jun:
"Jun'er, you go down first, my father still has some things to worry about with Jia Rong."
Liu Jun glanced at the hall again, turned his head and saluted Emperor Longtai and said, "Yes, father." ”
She wanted to say something, but she turned away.
After Jun'er left, Emperor Longtai said to Jia Rong:
"Come forward, I have something to say to you."
Jia Rong got up, took a few more steps, and stood up straight.
Emperor Longtai said: "A few days ago, Ren Aiqing handed me a set of new laws for reforming the old and new, and now when my Song Dynasty is upright and reforming the old and the new, what do you think?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch handed Jia Rong a book.
Jia Rong didn't answer, but bowed down and said:
"Ren Shoufu is a capable minister selected by His Majesty from thousands of talented people, who is public and selfless, and is the pillar of the country, and the minister admires him very much. Moreover, the minister is still young and has only a shallow education, and he dares to comment on such important matters of the family and country. ”
Jia Rong still spares his life, now he is just a knife selected by Emperor Longtai, and the knife cannot have his own will and insight, and he is the same.
Emperor Longtai said: "If you haven't been in the prison school for a day, I will not embarrass you for national affairs, but just let you see whether it is beneficial to the country and the people to act like this, if even you understand that it is a good thing for the people, it is naturally a good policy for governing the country." ”
Jia Rong listened to Emperor Longtai's words, took the book in the little eunuch's hand, and flipped through it.
