They all felt that if this continued, their own nerves would be overwhelmed.

After the Lantern Festival passed, Xiu Mu was completely over, and the Xinghan Empire ushered in the first morning court this year.

As the first morning court, Lu Chensheng couldn't do it if he wanted to court in the imperial study room, so he could only come to Chengtian Hall to court in his uniform.

"Saint Gong'an!"

The ministers bent down and bowed one after another, their voices were mighty, dispelling Lu Chensheng's last bit of drowsiness.

"I'm safe, all lovers sit down."

Lu Chensheng waved his hands, and after the ministers thanked them, they walked to both sides to sit down.

"What's the matter for all my loves?"

"The minister has the book to play!"

Just as Lu Chensheng finished speaking, a minister stood up immediately and said with a bow.

"Say."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and said.

"The day before yesterday, I heard that a woman appeared in Jiyun City. This woman has reached the peak of copying other people's handwriting. I am afraid that she can even copy the handwriting of the Holy Majesty. A few days ago, some old poems of the Holy Majesty appeared in the world.

However, after repeated verification by the ministers, all the poems written by the Holy Majesty have been lost, and most of them are in the hands of the empress. The paper used for this poem is the latest rice paper. It is a kind of peach blossom poem, and it is a great crime to conclude that this woman must have copied the handwriting of the Holy Majesty! "

The minister said in a deep voice, his words stirred up waves.

The ministers around were immediately discussing, it is a great crime to imitate the poems of the Holy Majesty!

"Anything else?"

Lu Chensheng frowned. The majesty of the royal family does not allow provocation, and there are still people who dare to use this method. It is not an exaggeration to kill them directly.

"Exactly!"

The minister said with great certainty.

"Let the people of Jinyiwei bring this person back, and check if there is someone behind it."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and said something.

Gu Zhifang immediately took orders and hurried down to send someone.

"The minister has this report, the latest firearms of the research institute have been researched, please test the firearms!"

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng got up suddenly, "Firearms have been researched? Where are they?"

"Firearms are big killers. I dare not charge the Holy Majesty, so the firearms were not brought into the palace."

Bringing this firearm in at will? This is a capital offense, and the people under him considered the surroundings and placed the firearm outside the palace.

"Send me to Muzhao Garden? I want to see for myself the power of this firearm!"

Lu Chensheng's heart is hot? Didn't expect the development speed of this firearm to be so fast. If the power of this firearm is acceptable? Then we can start mass production!

The ministers responded one after another, but they were just wondering? What is this firearm?

This thing? It has always been a secret? Not many people know it.

But listen to the name? It should be similar to gunpowder, and I don’t know how the firearm has been improved this time?

The ministers were curious. They followed the left and right to the Muzhao Garden. There is an open space here, which is extremely spacious.

This place is going to be used to raise some rare birds, but it hasn't started yet.

Lu Chensheng and Qiong Yue were not very interested in this thing, so this place was empty.

Firearms were also brought in later.

One is huge? A giant cannon made entirely of metal forging, and the other is a flintlock gun that looks much smaller.

In comparison, the artillery is particularly thrilling, making people feel that this thing is extremely thick, but they don't know what it is used for.

As for the flintlock, not many ministers paid attention to it.

And Lu Chensheng's eyes were more focused on the flintlock.

"Shall I try this?"

Lu Chensheng pointed to the flintlock and said something.

The researcher on the side was shocked when he heard the words, "Your Majesty, no, although this thing is basically harmless, there is still a little risk. What should I do if something happens?"

These words made Lu Chensheng dispel the idea of ​​trying it himself, and nodded to let the other party start fiddling.

"This thing has been tested several times, but has it ever exploded?"

Lu Chensheng watched the other party loading the cannon, and asked a question.

Artillery still has this danger, and this issue is also extremely critical.

"This thing has never exploded since it was born, it's just the power."

The researcher replied immediately.

The current smelting technology has been greatly improved, and it is still very simple to make a barrel, especially with the help of a steam engine.

If not, then it can only be built a little bit, and it would be too difficult if it is completely relying on manpower.

And it is also a short handle in terms of quality.

After loading, Lu Chensheng stepped back more than ten meters, and the cannon began to ignite.

The ministers all watched this scene closely, with a bit of curiosity in their eyes.

What kind of thing is it?And can this thing make their dynasty stronger?

These are the thoughts in their hearts at the moment.

Finally, when the fuze was completely burned, a deafening sound sounded.

The ministers just felt that the sky had collapsed, and they couldn't hear other sounds for a long time, and there was a little buzzing in their ears.

In the distance, a moment later, a huge stone was directly blasted into pieces.

Seeing this scene, the ministers suddenly felt moved. That huge boulder just now was granite, right?

This was easily smashed into pieces, how did this happen?If this hit someone, wouldn't it be torn apart?

Some of the bolder ministers came to their senses, asked for instructions, and hurried to the granite area to check.

Some ministers were afraid of the muzzle of the cannon, and they were still facing the front, jumping in fear and not daring to go forward.

After a long while, the minister who came back held the huge boulder that had been split in his hand, his face was full of shock.

"My lord, with this thing, our Xinghan army will be invincible!"

"This thing is definitely a sharp weapon for attacking the city. I am afraid that if it is used a few times, all the city walls will be destroyed!"

All the ministers spoke one by one, and all their words were full of praise.

Lu Chensheng also smiled all over his face, "Trying that flintlock gun!"

"Yes!"

The researcher didn't talk nonsense, and immediately picked up the flintlock gun and reloaded it very skillfully.

There was only a crisp sound, and there was a hole in a target in the distance.

"The shooting accuracy is good, don't practice less!"

Lu Chensheng looked at it and immediately praised it.

As far as the two firearms just now are concerned, the other party is very satisfying to use.

When the researcher heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "This thing is quite fun, so I played with it for a while."

Lu Chensheng didn't care either, it was normal for the other party to like this gun or something.

This thing does have a different attraction for men.

"Well, the power is good, and the quality of the things is also very good."

Lu Chensheng took the flintlock gun and looked at it carefully. The pipe on it looked quite smooth, and there were no flaws in the overall structure.

As far as these are concerned, this batch of weapons is already qualified.

"Thank you, my lord, for the compliment!"

It's not easy to get a compliment from the sage!

"Just start production according to the specifications of this thing. Within three months, we need to produce [-] pieces and [-] cannons. Can it be done?"

"This..." Hearing the number, the researcher hesitated, "Your Majesty, if it is a flintlock gun, [-] pieces should not be a problem, but the artillery can only have a hundred pieces.

There is a production line, and it is relatively simple to produce flintlock guns, but this artillery will indeed be a lot more difficult. "

The barrel of the flintlock can be drilled quickly with the help of a steam engine, but this artillery is different, and it is much more difficult.

Eight thousand sticks?

This number seems to be okay, although it is still a bit too small.

Lu Chensheng thought about it, but he didn't care anymore, let's say eight thousand is eight thousand.

"Well, if there are only [-], let's go to [-]. Go back and start producing as soon as possible, and then distribute it to let the soldiers practice their hands. If this thing is not practiced, its effect on the battlefield will be greatly reduced."

"Yes!"

The researcher agreed, and went down happily. For the things they developed, being able to get the affirmation of the Holy One is the greatest reward for them.

The shock on the faces of the ministers has not dissipated by this time, and they are still immersed in the shock just now.

The flintlock gun, which was not very eye-catching, they all felt that it was nothing, and it was better than this artillery.

After all, this cannon is so big, the sound is loud and powerful when it fires.

It never occurred to him that he would not know the power of this thing until the flintlock gun was fired, and it was even more powerful.

Such a long distance, directly punching such a hole, is it difficult for ordinary armor to resist it?

How powerful would it be if everyone started shooting with one hand?

Thinking of this, everyone's heart trembled, and they were even more frightened.

But then, the faces of the ministers were gradually replaced by ecstasy.

Such weapons are now in the hands of the Xinghan Dynasty.

Today's Holy Majesty is working hard, and he is still in his prime, and he has their assistance, and he has such a big killer.

This Star Han Dynasty will only become more and more prosperous!

Thinking of this, the ministers were trembling with excitement.

At this moment, they all feel that a great dynasty is coming!

Before that, they were still a little worried about the holy majesty's continuous desire to expand the territory.

After all, the foundation lies here. If those dynasties join forces one after another, the Xinghan Dynasty may be hard to resist.

But it's different now, with such weapons appearing, those foreign armies can only be chickens and dogs, and they are all vulnerable!

The more I think about it, the more excited the ministers are.

At this moment, they are already thinking about the foreign countries around them, which is the best place to start.

One day when they are in power, they also think that they can expand the territory of the Xinghan Empire to an unrivaled level.

This is a deed that will last for thousands of years!

This group of officials is definitely something that can be recorded in the history books for future generations to look up to!

Back in the palace, the ministers were still immersed in their fantasies.

After a while, seeing that the ministers hadn't responded, Lu Chensheng coughed a few times and looked at the ministers dumbfounded.

What's the matter, are they all scared by this cannon?

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for obtaining this treasure. With this weapon, our Xinghan Dynasty will surely bring all nations to court! All the barbarians must bow their heads and bow their heads!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this thing is too powerful, and it is certainly not a problem for His Majesty to expand his territory with this thing!"

The ministers came back to their senses, and immediately shouted one by one, and anyone could see the excitement on their expressions.

It turned out that they were excited about the power of the artillery, and thought that these people were still shocked by the power of the artillery.
