Chapter 461 The Progress of the Fire Gun
"No, it's too risky. You can't take such a risk." Queen Liang shook her head after hearing this.
Although Li Liangzuo died, she was able to listen to politics behind the curtain and control the power.
But if she failed, she would definitely die, and she was unwilling to take the risk.
"Although it is a bit risky now, if you don't do this, once His Majesty feels that the Liang family is useless in the future, do you think you can hold your position as queen securely?"
Liang Guangchuan said calmly: "I heard that Your Majesty often goes to Concubine Dong recently?"
Queen Liang's face darkened when she heard this. She was actually full of resentment towards the Liang family.
Xixia's emphasis on Han officials did not actually start with Li Liangzuo.
But it started with the first emperor of Xixia, Li Liangzuo's father.
It's just that there were only a few Han officials in high-ranking positions at that time. Except for a few, the rest were low-level officials.
But in general, there were still some Han officials in the Xixia Dynasty, otherwise Wu Zangying Pang, who was in power at the time, would not have married the Liang family.
However, the eldest son who had no hidden secrets was not a good person, and Empress Liang suffered a lot of humiliation after marrying him.
However, the Liang family did support some Han officials in the court by not hiding any false accusations.
Liang Guangchuan noticed that the conflict between Li Liangzuo and Wu Zangyupang was getting more intense, so he asked Empress Liang to seduce Li Liangzuo.
The affair between the two is not a secret. Although the Dangxiang tribe is a foreign race and does not attach much importance to ethics, since the Tang Dynasty, the Dangxiang tribe has been affiliated with the Tang Dynasty and has been influenced by Han culture.
An affair between a cousin and a cousin-in-law is difficult to accept even in Xixia.
After Li Liangzuo got rid of Wu Zang Yipang, he canonized her as queen. No one dared to discuss it, but Empress Liang always felt that everyone looked at her strangely.
It is precisely because of these that she is full of resentment towards the Liang family.
But Li Liangzuo canonized her as queen. In addition to liking her, more importantly, he wanted to use Han officials headed by the Liang family to balance the party aristocrats in the court.
If she wants to secure her position as queen, she must rely on the Liang family.
This was also the reason why Liang Guangchuan gave up his couch to poison Li Liangzuo and she agreed.
She wants to control her own destiny and is not willing to be manipulated by others, not even her father.
According to their original plan, they would slowly poison him and let Li Liangzuo die in a few years.
During this period, the Liang family controlled some military power to ensure that Li Liangzuo could control the situation after his death.
But Li Liangzuo also knew that those who were not of my race would have different hearts, and he was already supporting Han officials and Liang Guangchuan to fight against each other.
This Dong family was chosen by Li Liangzuo. Li Liangzuo had adopted the eldest granddaughter of the Dong family years ago and has been going to Concubine Dong to rest recently.
"Okay, I'll do it!"
Empress Liang sneered and said: "But father must think clearly. Your Majesty only has one son now. If something goes wrong, we orphans and widowed mothers will at most be just puppets. Our lives are still safe, but the Liang family may not be sure."
"Don't worry, I won't make fun of the lives of so many people in the Liang family. But don't be impatient. Slowly increase the dose. Your Majesty will not die in half a year." Liang Guangchuan said.
"I understand. Since my father is fine, I will leave first."
After Queen Liang finished speaking, she walked directly out.
"What are you doing standing around? Go and see you off."
Liang Guangchuan was very dissatisfied with Empress Liang's attitude and felt angry when he saw Liang Yimi standing still.
"Oh..."
Liang Yimi quickly chased after him.
At the gate of the mansion, Queen Liang scolded Liang Yi, then boarded the carriage and left under the escort of the imperial army.
Liang Yimi returned to the backyard with an ugly face and told his father what had happened.
"Father, she is full of resentment. Even if she succeeds, she may not listen to you then. You have to make plans early." Liang Yimi said.
"She scolded you in public just to show others." Liang Guangchuan said calmly.
"My child understands, but she does have resentment in her heart. Father, you should be able to see it." Liang Yimi said.
"Shut up!"
Liang Guangchuan scolded: "She is your sister. The Liang family depends on her today. What's wrong with her being a little resentful?" He naturally saw that Queen Liang was resentful, but so what.
If Empress Liang wants to control the government, she must have the help of the Liang family, otherwise the party nobles alone will be able to oust her.
Wasn't Wu Zetian full of resentment towards the Wu family? After ascending the throne, she didn't give the Wu family the title of king.
"Yes." Liang Yimi was scolded and immediately became honest.
…………
"Humph, these people are finally honest."
Zhao Xing agreed with the punishment results reported by the Ministry of Punishment, and after reviewing them, they were implemented smoothly. No one continued to make trouble, and the matter was temporarily calmed down this time.
"Pass the decree to Si Tianjian to choose an auspicious day, and I will confer the crown prince title on you!" Zhao Xing said.
"Yes!" Sanshui responded.
"Is the Grand Prime Minister still ill?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Your Majesty, according to the Han family, it's not healed yet." Sanshui said.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Hmph!" Zhao Xing snorted coldly, feeling very dissatisfied, and said, "Then let's celebrate the great prince. Let the Ministry of Rites take care of it and bring my concubine into the palace as soon as possible!"
The emperor's concubines are different from those selected in the draft.
Although there is no need for extensive arrangements, it cannot be directly connected to the palace.
"Yes!" Sanshui responded.
"Go." Sanshui bowed and left.
Not long after Sanshui left, a chamberlain came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Firearms Supervisor is asking for an audience."
"Oh?"
Zhao Xing smiled when he heard this and said: "Let him come in!"
Cao Mian came over to ask for a meeting, probably because he had some good news, and Zhao Xing was full of expectations.
Although the research and development of firearms has just started, any slight progress will be a dimensionality reduction blow in this era.
After a while, Cao Mian came in and saluted: "I pay homage to your Majesty!"
"No gifts!"
Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "Why did you come to see me?"
"Your Majesty, Chen Kui has made considerable progress in the research and development of the Burst Fire Gun. The new Burst Fire Gun he has manufactured can already shoot more than a hundred steps away. Unless he is wearing thick armor, ordinary leather armor and thin armor cannot defend him at all. Don't stop." Cao Mian said.
Zhao Xing heard this and said excitedly: "Have you brought anything?"
"Your Majesty, I brought it with you. Chen Kui is here too and is waiting outside the palace." Cao Mian said.
"Let's go and take a look." Zhao Xingfeng said hotly.
If the power is really as powerful as Cao Mian said, it will be very useful.
You know, the range of archers in the army is only more than a hundred steps.
Those who can shoot two to three hundred steps away are relatively strong.
Although Cao Mian said that wearing thick armor can resist, there are actually not many thick armors in the army.
In ancient times, when describing the number of troops, armor was often used to describe it.
But in fact, not all soldiers wear armor.
About 70% of the soldiers in the Song Dynasty wore armor.
Most of these are leather armor and light armor.
Moreover, thick armor cannot protect certain parts, and it can still hurt someone if it hits other parts.
In ancient times, as long as you could hurt someone, it was almost equal to killing the enemy.
