Chapter 176 Illness
Jia Lian took the sealed wooden gun and clicked it for a long time, then took it apart and installed it bit by bit, making sure it could still click click. Then he turned to the waiting eldest brother and aunt.
"There is a Mr. Dai from the Ministry of Industry."
Jia Lian said: "He once made a blazing gun, also called the Twenty-Eight Continuous Fire Gun. The back of the gun is the magazine. Can store 28 rounds There are two gunpowder machines, which are connected to each other. When one machine is pulled, the ammunition will fall into the barrel and the other machine will be released to fire. "
"His name is Dai Zi?" br>
Shen Ning's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
In the original time and space, if Dai Zi could have been reused a little more, if his continuous fire blunderbuss was still there, there would not have been that hundred years of humiliation.
“Yes!”
Jia Lian nodded, “So Auntie has also heard of him?”
He sighed softly, “It’s a pity that Mr. Dai passed away. It’s too early. The blazing gun is in the Ministry of Industry, but there is only one master who can make it.”
Dead?
Shen Ning couldn't help but frown, "How did he die?"
"I don't know exactly how he died."
Jia Lian Shaking his head, "I only know that since his death, the Ministry of Industry has strengthened the protection of the firearms workshop, and the master inside is someone who can directly see the emperor."
Shen Ning: "..."< br>
She already somewhat understood the meaning of his words.
"Do you want to give this thing away?"
Jia Lian said: "My nephew thinks it is not possible for the time being."
The Supreme Emperor is still there.
When the two dragons are in power, there are always variables.
Moreover, the capital looks safe, but in fact, there is always fighting overt and covert.
The former dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, the Tatars, the Japanese, etc. who were driven out never stopped.
This is only external, the internal is even more tragic.
Otherwise, my grandfather and great-uncle would not have died in such depression.
“Just wait a few more years!”
Few of the great emperors in the history books ended well.
So, although their Supreme Emperor abdicated, he still held on to everything.
There are no big disturbances in the court now, but that doesn’t mean there never have been.
Especially when the victory in the north is gradually determined, the power in the hands of the emperor is further increased...
"Two days ago, my father went to Taixuan Temple."
Jia Lian said: "The uncle asked him to forward a letter to me."
The uncle didn't even think of sending a letter to the uncle's mother and brother Zhen.
Jia Lian felt inexplicably guilty when facing the mother and son, "The letter said that if the north wins, the situation in the DPRK and China may change. This is like a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers. The uncle asked me Be careful in your words and deeds.”
There was once a mountain that could not tolerate two tigers, but the prince is gone.
Now that the Emperor is older, his suspicions are even greater, and because of the great victory in the north, the Emperor has lost his previous normality...
Jia Lian was also very scared.
So, he has always been very honest.
Work conscientiously.
When adults quarrel and need him to provide data support, he can immediately pull out a small notebook.
Within the scope of his responsibilities as a doctor in the arsenal, he tried his best to do his best. In other matters..., just like the relationship between his father and his second uncle, he was very slippery.
Jia Lian sometimes felt lucky to have the experience of trying to live a life between his second uncle and his father.
Otherwise, I am afraid that some old fox will betray him, but he will still be there happily.
"Did you destroy the letter?"
Hearing that his father had the letter, Jia Zhen couldn't help but look more at the armory, fearing that someone was hiding here.
"Ruined."
When his mother-in-law also looked over, Jia Lian nodded quickly and said, "I just finished reading it, and my father grabbed a handful and burned me."
That's good.
Shen Ning breathed out softly, "Sure, you have already seen the things. If you think you can give them away, then give them away. If you can't, then let them go."
What the hell is she doing? ?
Master Dai’s volley of firecrackers is the most important.
"Lian'er, please tell me about the continuous fire gun from the Ministry of Industry!"
"I picked up that fire gun. It looks like a pipa."
My mother-in-law is not angry with the uncle. Jia Lian's face became much more relaxed, "However, it was jointly built by several great masters later. Master Dai made it It was dismantled during the research. It is said that it has not been promoted yet because there are still many problems that have not been solved.
It may be used on the battlefield. It hurts our own family.”
There are too many problems that need to be solved.
"...Really?"
Shen Ning didn't know whether he was more disappointed or more regretful, "Then have you ever asked how the missionaries made their muskets?"
" Of course I asked. "
My cousin Shi Ding has a soaring cannon.
“They still have people helping us make cannons.”
It is a pity that Jia Lian has been very busy since he entered the court and has not visited those workshops.
It was night. He had dinner here before returning to his house.
Wang Xifeng has been worried about this.
I am afraid that he has been wandering recently and will be scolded by his aunt.
“…I’m as busy as a dog, so I can’t be distracted.”
Jia Lian was speechless about his daughter-in-law.
He is busy and happy.
After all, the position he once gave himself was to protect his home.
Provide logistics for Brother Zhu and Baoyu.
I didn’t expect that he could still be an official and be praised by the emperor and other ministers.
"Can't it be a good thing that my uncle is looking for me?"
"What a good thing?"
Wang Xifeng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then tell me! It makes me happy too. ."
Jia Lian: "..."
Can I just talk about the wooden gun?
"Didn't the Hetao be snatched back?"
Jia Lian could only say: "Our arsenal department made great efforts in this war in the north. My mother-in-law praised me for my good work and asked me about my cousin Lanzhi. What happened with Cousin Shi?”
“Cousin Lanzhi really chopped off the heads of several Tatars?”
Wang Xifeng still can’t believe it.
Of course, every time she asked, her admiration deepened.
"That's natural, it's all written in the battle report."
Jia Lian said: "She is the deputy lieutenant of the Women's Army. Killing Tatars is nothing. The most important thing is that this time she led The left route army took the rear route and joined the center route army. Attacking the Tatar reinforcements, he first used fire blunderbuss to kill a wave of their troops, and then they were defeated so quickly. "
As the grandson of Duke Rong, he also knew that on the battlefield, he would win sooner. , the difference between winning a moment later.
How many fewer people can die on their side?
With strong morale, the final charge will be smoother than the Tatar side.
"Then...I heard that Cousin Shi will be knighted when he comes back. Cousin Lan..."
Wang Xifeng wanted to ask her if she could also have a knighthood.
“That’s a big question for me.”
Jia Lian smiled, “Everyone who faces you is an old fox. Your husband and I are just a pure white rabbit.”
“Just you? Or the little white rabbit?”
Wang Xifeng gave him a small fist.
“Am I not white?”
Jia Lian’s voice and eyes forced Ping’er and the other maids to quickly retreat.
“You’re going to die, it’s broad daylight.”
“Who said that? It’s obviously dark.”
The couple laughed and made noise, and Ping'er and the others simply hid in the tea room, roasting chestnuts and chatting.
"Ping'er..."
Li'er looked outside, "Have you heard? The second aunt who married the Xue family in Jinling is going to Beijing. Today I sent a letter to our grandma. , He said he was waiting for her to see the second wife. "
"...When?"
Ping'er was very surprised.
"It was when you arrived at the big kitchen that Wang'er came in with a letter."
"Then...didn't she write a letter to the second wife?" "She also wrote it and asked our grandma to forward it to her."
Ping'er: "..."
"Grandma was annoyed for a long time because of that letter, and now it's thrown in the makeup box."
< br>
Li'er sighed, "The second aunt has passed away, and the second aunt's wife is living with a pair of children. It is said that the Xue family bullies their family." Have you heard of General Zhennan?”
“Maybe the news hasn’t been received yet.”
Several maids came from the Wang family.
I still feel protective of my former master’s family, “But if the second aunt’s wife goes to Beijing, it will be better than being in Jinling!”
"..."
Ping'er glanced at them and said nothing.
The eldest master is gone, and the second master is in charge of the family. If the second aunt’s wife comes to Beijing, she may not be as good as Jinling.
But relying on this side...
I'm afraid the old lady won't be happy just like the second wife did.
Then their grandma will still be in trouble.
Ping'er sighed a little in his heart.
......
Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ningyuan, left her daughter to Haodaer, who continued to write a book with a pen.
At this time, she had already written the twelfth chapter of The Dragon Has Regret.
Qingzhu's maids were particularly considerate in their service.
Almost all of their eyes were fixed on her manuscript.
Although I have heard a lot of books from my wife, I really didn’t expect that their wife could write a book!
If this were printed...
Qingzhu and the others tried to breathe as lightly as possible.
Shen Ning looked up, well, there were people around the table.
"Come on, Qingzhu, do you see it?"
She put down the pen and rubbed her wrist, "Now I tell you to write."
Ah?
"Madam, can I...can I?"
Qingzhu is very excited!
This is writing a book!
Things she never dared to dream about.
"What do you mean you can do it?"
Shen Ning was speechless, "What do you do when you practice calligraphy every day?"
It's not easy to find outsiders, so you can only force your own maid.
Of all the maids, Qingzhu is the most steady and has the best handwriting.
"Hurry up and take it."
Shen Ning put the pen into her hand, "It's okay if you make a mistake. If you make a mistake, you can go back and copy it again."
She is not lacking here. Pen and paper.
"Okay, let's start!"
Shen Ning said: "Huang Rong scolded: 'Hong Qigong originally said that you have done something evil, so I have to kill you today. Fortunately, my brother Guo is kind and begged for you for a long time. Favor...'"
It would be great to have someone write for you!
Shen Ning hopes she can be liberated.
At the same time, when the Emperor had soaked his feet and was about to turn around and go to sleep, Dai Quan hurried in, "The Emperor, Concubine Zhen's condition has worsened."
What?
The Emperor’s footsteps paused.
Over the years, he has sent away many people.
Zhen is the concubine who spends the most time with him in the palace and wins his heart the most.
Compared with him, she is still incredibly young. How could she become so young in such a short time...
"Show me!"
The Emperor went to take a look without any hesitation.
Zhen's health has always been good.
How long has it been since you entered the Buddhist temple?
Or...
Thinking of King Jin leaving the capital and her entering the Buddhist hall, the Supreme Emperor suddenly suspected that someone had treated her harshly because of his attitude.
In other words, someone simply wants to harm her.
It's not impossible.
In this palace, too many people died because of his negligence.
It’s the prince capital...
The Emperor was very anxious.
Fortunately, the two palaces are not very far apart.
As soon as I entered, I heard Concubine Zhen coughing.
"The Supreme Emperor has arrived!"
"The Supreme Emperor..., cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough”
Concubine Zhen bowed on the couch, but she seemed to be afraid of transmitting the disease to the Emperor, so she said anxiously and coughingly: "The Emperor, don't come in, cough, cough, it will not be cured if you catch the disease."
The Supreme Emperor saw that even when she coughed, she coughed into the couch, and her concern for him didn't seem to be fake. He couldn't help but sighed, "Why are you so sick?" ? Where's the imperial doctor? Didn't you call the imperial doctor? "
" Qian'er called. "
Concubine Zhen couldn't hide her sadness, "Ahem, but this disease. It's like falling down like a mountain, and it's going away like a thread, how can it be so fast?"
She didn't tell people to tell the emperor when she first had a fever.
"Your Majesty, I am getting older."
She has been studying how to make herself look pale, weak and beautiful while being ill for many years, and she has always done a good job.
Concubine Zhen coughed and wheezed and said: "The King of Jin came out of the capital..."
After making sure that the Supreme Emperor did not look downcast, she added: "He is the only son in my life. He Even though he has grown so old, he has not left us yet, and he has gone so far now..."
As she spoke, her tears fell, "I don’t know if I can see him again. . Cough cough~~, cough cough cough~~~~"
The earth-shattering cough frightened the Supreme Emperor.
The Queen used to be like this.
Coughing and coughing...
Concubine Zhen covered her mouth fiercely. A trace of blood fell on the brocade handkerchief, and she hurriedly covered it up.
But the Emperor has already seen it.
"Do you want Prince Jin to come back?"
His voice was rare and soft.
"...can you?"
The tears in Concubine Zhen's eyes are about to fall, but the expectation inside seems to be overflowing.
“You, Chrysostom, asked him to go to the south...”
She seemed to be unable to bear the embarrassment of the Emperor, "Forget it, let him go!"
The Emperor: "..."
My son traveled hundreds of miles in a carriage in a day.
It is so slow that both humans and gods are angry.
The Supreme Emperor has long regretted letting him be the envoy to Guannan.
Especially when the prince is riding fast.
If Prince Teng arrives, King Jin will not even get a quarter of the way, and I will be laughed at.
"What's the point?"
Just in time, Concubine Zhen gave him a good excuse, "Dai Quan, send someone to hurry up and ask King Jin to come back to take care of the concubine."
The Emperor looked at Concubine Zhen with concern and said, "Take good care of yourself and don't think too much about it."
When the King of Jin is at home, the emperor's son should be more relaxed.
Although the Emperor was very happy that the Emperor could help him avenge his shame, it was precisely because he helped him avenge his shame that his heart became more and more complicated.
My son is not as good as him, and he is worried.
My son is so capable...
It’s also very frustrating sometimes!
Regardless of what will happen in the history books in the future, just say that now, the Supreme Emperor clearly feels that some courtiers are now more inclined to the side of the emperor's son.
This is what drives him crazy.
He, the Supreme Emperor, is still in good health.
How long has it been since the Longevity Festival?
The fact that the war in the north is going so smoothly is clearly because of his support.
But those individuals only thought about the emperor...
After the Supreme Emperor confirmed that King Jin would come back, he felt more relaxed, "I will take care of everything! I will watch, and King Jin will be back in a few days."
