"Meow!" Xiaobai shouted, as if reminding the palace servants who were serving the meal to pay attention. Little claws gently tapped the side of the plate.

Ye Xuan sneered and nodded. The palace servant immediately took two pieces of marinated chickens and placed them on an empty plate.

Xiaobai's head turned left and right, then walked to the Wusi belly silk disk, stretched out his claws and pointed it.

Are you a cat, what chicken and treasures to eat?

Ye Xuan glanced at the plate of fish that had only moved one chopstick, and made it for Xiaobai. He thought cats loved to eat fish, but it seemed that he was ignorant.

After ordering the dishes, Xiaobai came to the plate and lowered his head to eat. It looked very fragrant and delicious.

Could this be something in a cat's coat? Ye Xuan put down his chopsticks and looked at the beautiful and smart cat with thoughts.

……………………

The sun shines on you. Even if it is winter, it will make you feel happy even if it cannot make you feel warm.

But the chief assistant Ye Xianggao came to the Ganqing Palace with several memorials, but he was in a heavy mood along the way.

The reason is very simple. The young emperor issued an order until the cabinet, Sun Degong, the guerrilla guerrilla of the Liaodong Governor Wang Huazhen, came to Beijing to meet with him.

In addition to Xuanzhao Sun Degong, there is also Xiong Tingbi's military predecessor, and the head of the position of the party, Hong Fujiao.

In the eyes of the cabinet ministers, the young emperor failed to replace Wang Huazhen, and the sending of the Ministry of War and the head of the Ministry of War to Liaodong was also rejected. He could only settle for the second best and summoned the confidants of the politicians to Beijing for inquiries.

As for the guerrilla Sun Degong of the Central Army and the head of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of Hong Fujiao, they were all low-ranking officials and the summoned to Beijing was nothing, and they could not affect the major events in Liaodong.

Since this is the case, the cabinet ministers think it would be better to give the young emperor a face. Yesterday, the young emperor's displeasure was obvious, so why bother to make the emperor unhappy because of trivial matters?

The chief assistant Ye Xianggao also agreed, but thought more deeply.

Because this is a rare imperial edict since the young emperor ascended the throne. The imperial edicts in the past were rewards and the like, but just a formality.

Although the young emperor summoned a small official this time, it involved the matter of Liaodong. If the young emperor made such an opinion, the court would probably pass it, but the young emperor did not go through this procedure.

Ye Xianggao was not sure whether it was the young emperor who was anxious, or deliberately made a test, or venting his resentment in his heart.

So, Ye Xianggao wanted to figure it out and be at ease.

At the same time, he also wanted to take the opportunity to advise. One was that the emperor was not diligent in the morning court and would be written into the history books; the other was that this was the order, which was not impossible, so it was better to change the way.

He was still a distance away from the Ganqing Palace, and suddenly he heard a "boom" sound, which scared Ye Xianggao Yi jumped heavily.

After identifying the direction, Ye Xianggao changed his face, lifted up his robe and accelerated his pace, and headed straight for the Ganqing Palace.

At this time, outside the Ganqing Palace, Ye Xuan was taking a group of palace servants to watch several officers and soldiers from the Shenji Camp who were summoned to perform firearms.

Because of the performance in the palace, the officers and soldiers of Shenji Camp only brought bird guns and three-eyed guns. The one who personally commanded them was Zhang Weixian, the highest duke of the Ming Dynasty, the seventh-generation British Duke.

British Duke Zhang Weixian was in charge of the Governor's Office of the Central Army and the Beijing Camp. He made great efforts on the case of moving the palace and personally carried the sedan chair to carry Emperor Tianqi from the Ganqing Palace to the Wenhua Palace to inherit the throne.

In history, when Wei Zhongxian was in great power, he did not dare to do anything to Zhang Weixian.

After the shooting of the bird gun, Ye Xuan did not comment, but shook his head secretly.

British Duke Zhang Weixian stood beside the young emperor and introduced him to the characteristics and power of the three-eyed gun.

This three-eyed gun sounds quite good. The three gun barrels can be shot in turn and can be swung as a hammer to hit people.

But in fact, the body tube is too short and the range can be imagined; it is true that it can fire three rounds in a row, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to load it.

Compared with the lethality and accuracy of the bird guns and other convex guns, the fire door guns such as the three-eyed guns are far inferior.

Twenty or thirty meters? Ye Xuan felt that it was just that. The fifty or eighty steps mentioned in the book were about to believe it, and if you want to believe it, you will get water in your head.

Well, the ancients often confused the effective kill range with the longest range. Can you go out twenty or thirty meters if you put a monkey in the sky? Is it useful?

Ye Xuan got up and walked over, saying, "I'll try to put it a few times." Then he wanted to try this Ming army standard weapon with a good reputation.

As for men, it is normal for them to be interested in guns, even if they are just behind muskets. Even if they are fired, they will be very satisfying.

Besides, Ye Xuan did not dare to shoot bird guns because he thought this trick was very dangerous. There were many problems with the quality of the Ming army's firearms on the Internet in later generations.

These three-eyed guns are very thick and there should be no problem.

"Your Majesty must not!" Ye Xuan's words were interrupted by a unique exclaim.

The one who was close was Zhang Weixian, and the one who was running over a little further was Shoufu Ye who was running over. Both of them looked frightened and anxious, and rushed to stop him.

What are you kidding?

The emperor's body is worth ten thousand gold. If something happens, it will be dissuaded. It is your duty as a minister!

Ye Xuan was stopped and was a little displeased. His face sank and he said, "It's just a firearm, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty is in the Ming Dynasty, how can you take risks easily?" Ye Xianggao gasped and tried to persuade him.

Ye Xuan turned his head to look at British Duke Zhang Weixian, pursed his lips and asked, "Britain, is this musket of poor quality and is life-threatening to be put into use?"

This - Zhang Weixian was speechless.

To say that the quality of the musket is inferior, it is not to belittle the Shenji Camp, and I also have a dereliction of duty; but if you want to pat your chest and say that it is no problem, then how can you stop the emperor from casting it?

"Your Majesty, this musket was carried into the palace by the Duke of England, so I have carefully selected it, so there is no problem." Ye Xianggao hurriedly bowed and said, "The soldiers in charge of the demonstration are also mastered and mastered. Let them demonstrate, and the same is true for His Majesty to watch."

Ye Xuan snorted, lost interest, and turned back to the palace.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian did not receive the emperor's order and did not dare to leave without permission. He was not convenient to listen to Ye Xianggao's memorial, so he bowed and said, "The Master of the Pavilion must have something important to report, so he will wait for His Majesty to summon him in the side hall."

Ye Xianggao returned the favor and said, "Duke please."

"Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant of the Xuan Cabinet, entered the hall." An eunuch walked out of the hall gate and screamed.

Zhang Weixian bowed again and took his men to the side hall.

Ye Xianggao summoned into the hall, kowtowed, and shouted long live the mountain.

"Premium!" Ye Xuan raised his hand and said calmly: "Ye Aiqing is here, what's the matter?"

Ye Xianggao stood up and handed the two memorials to the palace servants for presentation, saying, "I will report to Your Majesty. This is the etiquette charter for Your Majesty's wedding drafted by the Ministry of Rites and the accounting documents of the Ministry of Revenue. Please read the instructions for the imperial examination."
