In the Qianqing Palace of the Capital Bauhinia City.

Wang Chengen was introducing Chongzhen to a few things he had asked him to buy from the store in the capital.

I saw Wang Chengen say: "Your Majesty, these things were bought by the slaves from a shop that just opened in the capital, these are some good things, Your Majesty, look at this glass artwork." ”

As he spoke, Wang Chengen took out a glass lion from a bag and handed it to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen took the glass lion and saw that this lion was lifelike, and the whole body was transparent, which was very beautiful.

Chongzhen had never seen such transparent glass, and couldn't help but praise: "This glass artwork is indeed crystal clear and very beautiful, much better than those glasses." ”

Wang Chengen saw that Chongzhen liked it and said with a smile: "The emperor's glass art is not so easy to buy, there are only about a dozen pieces sold in their store, if I hadn't gotten the news, it would have been sold out long ago." ”

Chongzhen wasn't very interested in these things, so he didn't say anything more after answering.

Wang Chengen saw that Chongzhen was not interested in this, so he took out a beautiful box and said to Chongzhen: "How about the emperor take a look at these glasses again." ”

As he spoke, he took his glasses out of the box.

Chongzhen looked at this strange glasses and asked Wang Chengen, "What is this and what does it do?" ”

"The emperor is called glasses, after wearing these glasses, your eyes can see things more clearly, and the emperor will try it to see what the effect is."

As he spoke, he helped Chongzhen bring up his glasses.

Chongzhen took his glasses and looked at the words on the fold again, and found that he could see it clearly.

Because Chongzhen is too diligent, he has basically watched the music every day until late in the more than ten years he has been in power, so his eyes are a little short-sighted.

Every time it was too dark, I had to light a lot of candles to see it, but I didn't expect that today's small glasses are so magical, and after wearing them, I can see so clearly, as if I went back to ten years ago.

Chongzhen picked up the fold and flipped it over, looked at it for a while, put down the fold and said to Wang Chengen: "You bought these glasses well, they have helped me a lot, and I have a reward." ”

Wang Chengen was very happy to hear Chongzhen's words and said: "Thank you to the emperor, it is the honor of being able to share the emperor's worries and what kind of reward do you dare to ask for, the emperor still has a few items here, I will introduce them to the emperor." ”

Then Wang Chengen took out soap, soap, and perfume to introduce Chongzhen.

Chongzhen is also very interested in these, and is ready to try this soap when he takes a bath at night, and as for the perfume, he will give it to the harem queen.

Then Wang Chengen walked outside the main hall and moved in with a small eunuch, and a piece of something wrapped in cloth came in.

Wang Chengen put the things upright, pulled the cloth outside, and saw a three-foot-high mirror appear in front of him.

Chongzhen looked in the mirror and was startled, only to see a middle-aged man in a dragon robe appear in the mirror.

At this time, Wang Chengen introduced: "The emperor is a mirror, which is a hundred times clearer than a bronze mirror. ”

Chongzhen looked at the mirror carefully, only to see that he had a lot of gray hair in the mirror, and the wrinkles on his face were clearly visible, Chongzhen was only thirty-three years old this year, but he looked very old.

After looking at himself in the mirror for a while, Chongzhen asked, "Who is selling such a delicate thing?" ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the servants have already investigated, and the person who opened this shop is a person named Zhou Xian from Datong Mansion, Shanxi Prefecture, Shandong, and this Zhou Xian I have checked is just an ordinary businessman." ”

"It's just a small merchant in Datongfu, so where did his goods come from?"

Wang Chengen said: "This minion has also checked, and it is said that they made it themselves. ”

Chongzhen said with some surprise: "I made it myself, I didn't expect that I still have such a talent in Daming, if it weren't for Li Chuang's great trouble now, I would like to summon this Zhou Xian." ”

"Yes, this Zhou Xian should also be a good talent, but for some reason he didn't go to the exam to gain fame, but there are many talents who are even better than this Zhou Xian in my big country, and it is almost the day of the scientific examination, and there will be countless talents selected for the emperor's use."

Chongzhen nodded when he heard this and said: "What I lack is not talent, what I lack is talent, what I lack is talent, and what I lack is a general who can fight." ”

After Li Zicheng's attack on the capital failed, the army scattered and fled, although it did not have the previous scale, but it was still a big threat.

Moreover, the Manchu Tartars were eyeing the outside of the Guan, which was really an internal and external trouble.

For these two things, Chongzhen has been anxious recently, and he is really afraid that he will destroy the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Xian went down the mountain after playing in Xiangshan for two hours.

It was getting late, and Zhou Xian and the others rushed directly to the capital.

When they were only two or three miles away from the city gate, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of men in black who ran out of the woods.

The soldiers immediately took flintlock pistols and entered the battle state, surrounding Zhou Xian in the middle.

Zhang Dabiao took two steps forward and said, "I don't know why all the heroes are surrounding us?" ”

There were more than 30 people surrounding Zhou Xian, and they relaxed when they saw that Zhou Xian and the other twelve people had been surrounded.

A masked strong man with five big and three thick came out of the middle and said loudly: "Your lives have been bought, so let's talk less nonsense and take your lives." ”

After speaking, he shouted "do it" to everyone, and led people to pick up swords and rush towards Zhou Xian.

Zhang Dabiao was just delaying the army, and let his people prepare the flintlock pistol.

Seeing this scene, he immediately shouted: "A group of five rotates to shoot." ”

The soldiers skillfully pointed their guns at the masked man, and five gunshots rang out.

The five masked men let out a scream and fell.

Frightened, the other masked men stopped, and then the masked man shouted, "They are birds, they take a long time to change ammunition, we rushed up and killed them while they were changing ammunition." ”

Hearing this, the masked man continued to rush towards Zhou Xian and the others, followed by five gunshots.

Five more men fell in a scream, and the other masked men continued to rush forward without stopping.

Suddenly, another kind of gunfire was heard, and another person was shot and fell.

These masked people were shocked, thinking to themselves, wouldn't it take a long time to change ammunition? How can it be so fast.

They looked across and saw a young boy and a strong man, holding a small musket and shooting at those who rushed in front of them.

This small musket continued to shoot at the people who rushed forward as if it did not need to be reloaded, and it had already knocked down seven or eight people.

The other masked men didn't dare to step forward when they saw this, and the masked man who seemed to be the leader didn't urge them to come forward.

He also felt that the evil sect, the two people's bird guns could keep shooting without changing ammunition, which was really terrifying.
