When everyone hurried from the cabinet to the Heart Cultivation Palace, they found that the emperor had been waiting here for a long time.

"The ministers are late, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness!"

Before Jiajing could speak, under the leadership of Yan Song, several members of the cabinet knelt on the ground and asked for sin.

"I didn't even have time to complain a few words, and you rushed to ask me for guilt?"

Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Yan Song and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile.

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!"

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone present showed nervousness on their faces and said in unison.

"Okay, all of you, get up, I didn't come to you today, not so that you could ask me for your sin."

"Presumably, Lu Fang has already described the cause of the incident to you roughly before, right?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Before coming, Gonggong Lu gave us a general introduction to this new weapon called grenade. ”

"Your Majesty is really a brilliant person, and the idea you put forward earlier is as subtle as the ancient Lu Ban!"

"Please forgive Weichen for daring to guess, when this new weapon called grenade is officially installed in my Ming army, the combat effectiveness of my Ming army will be on a higher level!"

As soon as Jiajing's words fell, Yan Song immediately stepped forward and patted Jiajing's ass.

"Haha, yes, yes, Yan Ge's words are quite satisfactory to me."

"After the grenade is officially installed in my Ming army, the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely be raised to a higher level."

I have to say that Yan Song's sycophants made Jiajing quite useful, and even the gaze that looked at him had a little appreciation.

"I, Yan Song, this old thing, knows how to pat His Majesty's sycophants all day long! Are you eighty-one years old? ”

Seeing this, Xu Jie, who was on the side, immediately despised Yan Song in his heart.

"Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen thinks ......"

Just as Xu Jie was also planning to replicate Yan Song's way, he praised the emperor's previous idea of grenades, but was interrupted impatiently by Jiajing with a wave of his hand.

"Alright, let's stop here for the time being!"

"Now, you go with me to the Armory Division to see if this grenade is as powerful as rumored."

Hearing the emperor's order, everyone had to kneel on the ground and respectfully respond.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, Jiajing, Lu Fang and the five members of the cabinet embarked on the road to the Weapons Division together.

……

At this moment, the Weapons Department can be described as extremely busy.

Yi Bin, the chief of the Weapons Department, was anxiously instructing the group of craftsmen under his command to make corresponding preparations.

"Hurry up, hurry up, get all the corresponding materials ready, don't make any mistakes!"

"Somebody over there, bring the grenade that was made earlier."

"And you, go over and take a look, have they arrived, Your Majesty?"

Before this, Yi Bin got the news in advance that the emperor was going to come to the Ordnance Department to check the progress of the research and development of grenades.

Just as Yi Bin's thoughts were flying, he saw a subordinate running in in a hurry and said respectfully.

"Report to your lordship, Your Majesty, they are already outside the Weapons Division!"

"What, why don't you bring this official over quickly!"

After Yi Bin learned the news from his subordinates, he didn't care about other affairs, and hurriedly trotted all the way, and took the officials under him out of the Weapons Division together.

When Jiajing and his party rushed to the Weapons Division, they saw such a picture.

I saw Yi Bin leading his officials to wait outside the Weapons Division early, and when he saw the emperor coming, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in unison.

"Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Excuse me, get up."

I saw Jiajing wave his hand and said casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's answer, Yi Bin slowly got up from the ground, and when he saw the group of people beside the emperor, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face was full of surprise, and he said secretly.

"It seems that Your Majesty is quite interested in the progress of the research and development of grenades, and even those elders in the cabinet have been called over!"

Immediately, Yi Bin forcibly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and then faced everyone, and said so.

"Not so long ago, His Majesty came up with the idea of a new type of weapon, which he named grenades! And it is on this basis that our Weapons Division has gradually restored the new weapons that His Majesty had conceived at the beginning. ”

"Everyone, please come with me."

After Yi Bin finished speaking, he walked in front of the side and played the role of guiding the way.

And along the way, Yi Bin also introduced the overall layout of the Ordnance Division to Yan Song and others, as well as the number of craftsmen, what kind of affairs they are responsible for, and so on.

Soon, under the guidance of Yi Bin, the group entered the Weapons Division.

And many craftsmen in the Ordnance Department did not notice the arrival of the emperor and his party, and still took care of what they were doing.

"Bold, not fast......"

Before Yi Bin's words were finished, he was stopped by Jiajing.

"No need, let the craftsmen continue!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Yi Bin had to respectfully step aside.

At this moment, a craftsman who had been instructed by Yi Bin earlier stepped forward and reported to him.

"Report to your Excellency, the corresponding materials have been prepared, and the experiment can be carried out at any time!"

"Well, yes, you go down first, and the official will come over later."

After listening to the craftsman's report, Yi Bin was obviously relieved, and then ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

After receiving Yi Bin's instructions, the craftsman quickly took the order and left.

Immediately afterwards, Yi Bin saw that everyone present was confused, and hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty, the test mentioned by the craftsman earlier refers to the test of the power of the grenade explosion!"

"Before this, the Weapons Division has tested countless times, and this new weapon, called grenade, is almost as powerful as a cannon!"

"What, how is that possible!"

Yan Shifan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after hearing Yi Bin's statement.

"Frizzy, what does it look like!"

Seeing this, Yan Song on the side immediately scolded.

And Jiajing didn't care about Yan Shifan's loss of manners, but turned his gaze to Yi Bin and commanded.

"In that case, take us to see it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please come with me."

Seeing this, Yi Bin hurriedly led the way in front, his face full of respect.

From here, to the place where the grenade was experimented, there was a long corridor.

The group followed Yi Bin's footsteps while observing the surrounding situation.

Everything here is quite unusual for these Yan Song!

Artisans had a low social status, and the objects they produced were often regarded as "ingenious" and embarrassing.

Even if it is a small practical object, no one wants to promote it.

Therefore, I don't know how many practical inventions have gradually died out because they have not been taken seriously by people, and finally disappeared forever in the long river of history!

At this moment, Yan Shifan's eyes were deeply attracted by the new cannon next to him, which was being debugged and improved by several craftsmen, and he couldn't help but stop.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't you keep up quickly!"

Yan Song, who was walking in front, was keenly aware of Yan Shifan's abnormality, and seeing that everyone didn't pay attention to this, he immediately lowered his voice and reminded.

"Oh."

Yan Shifan came back to his senses suddenly, and then took three steps and two steps to keep up with the team.
