Sometimes the palace is sunny

The shoulders are decorated with the sun and the moon, the sleeves are decorated with Chinese insects, the back is decorated with stars and mountains, and there are Zongyi, Zao, Huo, Fenmi, Fu, Fu and Liu Zhong patterns decorated with twelve groups of dragon patterns at the front and back... Such a beautiful piece The dragon robe with narrow mouth and large sleeves in the second chapter is a look that Zhao Surui is all too familiar with.

It was the first time he saw Shen Sanfu wearing this dragon robe with his body.

Seeing Zhao Surui looking at her, Shen Shiqing said with a smile: "I just stayed with my clan and relatives in Beijing for dinner, and the dragon robes haven't been changed yet."

Clan relatives and relatives have the duty to go to various places to offer sacrifices on behalf of the emperor during the New Year, and it is also necessary to give food.

Zhao Surui still looked at the group of dragon patterns closest to him, which happened to be on his left shoulder.

"Foreign relatives and relatives? Those people have always been friends with King Yingjun, and they didn't intercede for Zhao Qinyang? Let you let him out?"

"I probably thought about it, but I just didn't have a chance to say it." Shen Shiqing said with a smile, "After Shagong, Chagong and Sigong are all on the list of investigations. The king didn't stop doing anything, they wanted to tell me about the blood of their ancestors, so I told them about the family law of Taizu's ancestors, once they came and went, they had nothing to say."

Zhao Surui couldn't help laughing when he listened:

"These clan relatives are the most hateful. If there is an advantage to take advantage of, they will remember that they are from the blood of the Taizu. When they ask them to contribute, they will say that they are incompetent and powerless, and they are used to crying poor."

"I really want to hear them cry about being poor. The amount of money allocated to them by the central government is fixed every year, and they are often rewarded. Since they are crying about being poor, it cannot be said that someone is enriching their own pockets... Didn't it just happen to fall into my hands?"

While speaking, Shen Shiqing led Zhao Surui to go inside, and walked into the main hall of Chaohua Palace. Zhao Surui looked around and asked:

"Where's my bow and sword? You threw them all away?"

"Let Yiji put it away, His Majesty's weapons are treasures, and I will not dispose of them casually."

Zhao Surui snorted: "I don't care if you throw it away, I scraped out tens of thousands of taels of silver from Xie's house, I let Xie Lin'an pay for all the calligraphy and paintings you lost before, and there is also a big IOU, I will copy it later Xie family, the whole mansion belongs to me. If you throw away my bow and sword, I will make another better one, and it is not difficult for someone to go to Burma to get rubies."

Shen Shiqing laughed when she heard the words: "Yes, yes, I will send someone to go to the library to pick up the things in a while and send them to His Majesty together."

"That's not necessary." Zhao Surui refused again, "I have already asked Peifeng to find a good craftsman to make a new one, but your body is too poor, and up to now you can only draw a twenty-pound Kaiyuan bow .”

The bow that Emperor Zhaode himself used was a sixty-pound black-horned birch bark bow!With Shen Sanwa's body, he couldn't pull it away even if he stomped on it.

"Speaking of bows and arrows, I have prepared several annual gifts for His Majesty, and this is one of them."

Shen Shiqing took out a box from a corner cabinet, and put her hands in front of Zhao Surui.

Annual ceremony?

Zhao Surui opened the box casually, with a sneer on his mouth: "You use my body, sit on my throne, give me things and have the face to say it's an annual gift? Which one is not me..."

Looking at the things in the box, Zhao Surui looked up at Shen Shiqing for a while, and after a while, he looked down at the things in the box again.

"This is, the firecracker?"

"Yes, a few months ago I sent people from the southeast coast to find craftsmen who had seen foreign firearms come to Beijing, and brought over a dozen different types of Western firearms to disassemble one by one. They bought more useful firecrackers, one with a reward of 500 taels of silver, but within two months, they produced a lot of novel styles. In addition to successfully imitating the bird-beaked matchlock from the Japanese pirates, there are also people who are making continuous firecrackers. In November, a craftsman surnamed Bi also made this kind of flintlock made by rubbing flints to ignite the fire. In addition to using flint to ignite the fire, this firecracker also carved lines inside the tube to fill the fire. The gunpowder in it is also stronger than before, so even though this firecracker looks small, it can still penetrate armor by ten feet."

Zhao Surui looked over and over at the firecracker in his hand which was only slightly longer than the woman's palm.

Ten feet of armor?

This, so small?

"Shen Sanwa, you are not lying to me, are you?"

Shen Shiqing smiled and led him to the gate of the palace, pointed at the target that had been erected ten feet away, and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty may wish to try."

Zhao Surui took a look at Shen Shiqing, loaded the gunpowder, and raised his hand to raise the firecracker.

After a bang, he trotted all the way holding up his skirt, and saw the marks that he had punched out.

"Shen Sanwaste! It really can penetrate armor ten feet!"

At this moment, looking at the firecracker again, Zhao Surui felt that even the paint on the handle was so shiny that it dazzled people.

The handle is even inlaid with rubies and engraved with gold thread, it looks like it was made by Shen Sanwau specially for him!

Seeing Shen Sanwas walking slowly, he couldn't help rushing over and tugging at his sleeve:
"What else? What kind of firecrackers or beaked firecrackers, show me!"

Shen Shiqing looked at him, only to see that her own pair of eyes were full of joy and anticipation.

Smiling slightly, she nodded: "I'll show you."

Several firecrackers of different styles are about three feet long and less than one foot short. In addition to the real objects, there are drawings.

Zhao Surui has been studying firecrackers for several years, and the blueprints are naturally understandable. Looking at the internal structure of those firecrackers, he nodded repeatedly:
"That's how it should be, that's how it should be. The group of craftsmen you found are really good. I said before that I wanted to make a three-eyed firecracker, but they all shied away from this and that, and dragged their feet on it for several years."

"The craftsmen His Majesty is looking for are all official craftsmen, more mistakes are made and less mistakes are made. The craftsmen I recruited have all seen the benefits of firearms. I also think that Dayong has better firearms, so naturally they will be more motivated."

"It makes sense, it makes sense, those people who are vegetarians should be sent to the battlefield to learn more, how many of these firecrackers can be produced in a month? When can we pretend to be a firecracker team? How can only one Shenji battalion be enough? ? I want to arrange for all the guards."

"The bird-billed firecrackers and the three-eyed firecrackers that His Majesty asked craftsmen to make before, if you can find a hundred more craftsmen, you can make [-] firecrackers in a month, and if you can improve the equipment, you can make them in about a month." Give a thousand."

Less than [-] craftsmen can make [-] firecrackers in a month?one thousand? !

If there are three thousand craftsmen...

Zhao Surui took a deep breath.

"Shen Sanfei, this annual gift of yours, I..."

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished delivering my annual gifts yet."

Zhao Surui closed his mouth, and suddenly raised his head to look at her.

He, he didn't look forward to it very much, he just wanted to see what kind of moth Shen Sanfei could make!

Shen Shiqing took two steps back, and took out another box from the corner cabinet.

Zhao Surui opened the box like a dog digging dirt, and saw a thin piece of paper inside.

There was only one sentence on the paper: "Jianghuai Zuo, the admiral of Shenji Camp, likes to drink Yunwu tea."

Yunwu Tea, Jiangxi, King of England.

"This matter was found out by one chicken."

Shen Shiqing stood aside and said to Zhao Surui.

Zhao Surui looked at the thin paper, and after a while, he said slowly:
"Jianghuaizuo, I single-handedly selected him. He came from a humble background. Although he has military merits, he has spent his whole life in the army as a garrison. If he hadn't made meritorious service when I killed Zhang Wan, how could he have survived for a few years? Promoted to the admiral of the first battalion? I gave him a high position and rich salary, but still can’t fill his stomach? Is the Yunwu tea sent by the king of Yingjun so delicious?”

Shen Shiqing didn't speak, Jiang Huaizuo divorced his wife and remarried after getting rich. He was nearly 16 years old and married a [-]-year-old girl from a noble family. It can be seen that what he wanted was to change his family and wash away his military atmosphere.

It may not be said that he wants to collude with the royal palace of England to rebel, but he must enjoy the joy of being flattered by a local vassal.

After a while, Zhao Surui said: "Next year when the border guards enter the capital, you can find an excuse to demote him. Before that, don't let the Shenji camp know about the new firearms."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jianghuaizuo's Yue family is involved in the Taipu Temple's audit. He is begging Jianghuaizuo every day for 10 taels of silver. He probably wants to use the military salary he has been greedy for many years."

Zhao Surui looked at Shen Shiqing, only seeing her gentle smile as always.

He sneered:
"The annual gift you gave me is to tell me that the one who bothered to promote is a waste who is greedy for money and unjust to make friends with the vassal king. Are you going to dispose of him?"

He looked at the firecracker he was clutching in his hand: "Are you giving me a new year gift, or are you afraid that I will be happy for half an hour?"

"The internal thieves will be eliminated, His Majesty should be happy."

Hearing what Shen Shiqing said, Zhao Surui snorted coldly.

Shen Shiqing, who was wearing a dragon robe, sighed softly, the sound of the sigh was like a gust of wind, passing over Zhao Surui's heart lightly, making his heart itch.

"Your Majesty is so moody, I really don't know whether this last annual gift should be given to His Majesty."

That being said, Shen Shiqing had already picked up a memorial from the table.

"This is the secret package sent from the northwest the day before yesterday."

Zhao Surui, who has been worrying about military affairs in the Northwest, reached out his hand directly: "Bring it."

Opening the memorial, Shen Shiqing shook her head lightly: "I gave the annual gift to His Majesty to make Your Majesty happy. Since His Majesty doesn't like it, then there is no need to give it."

Zhao Surui: "I asked you to bring it, how can you not give it away after you have prepared it?"

Shen Shiqing still held the folder in her hand.

"Your Majesty, are you happy to receive my annual gift?"

Zhao Surui was silent for a moment before saying: "Happy."

"Then why doesn't His Majesty smile?"

Zhao Surui glared at Shen Shiqing, and said viciously: "Shen Sanwao, are you trying to manipulate me?"

Shen Shiqing still had a slight smile on her face, as if she was not in front of His Majesty who was about to be angered: "Your Majesty, I am trying to please you."

Zhao Surui took a deep breath, then hurriedly grinned and took it back.

"I laughed."

After finishing speaking, he jumped up and snatched the folder from Shen Sanwas hand.

After flipping open the booklet for a few glances, his brows gradually wrinkled.

"Your Majesty, I asked the British Duke to use his divorce plan in the northwest, and it has already begun to bear fruit."

Zhao Surui pulled his gaze from the folder and looked at Shen Shiqing, only to see her eyes were shining brightly, and the smile on the corner of her lips became more and more elusive.

"The two parts of Duqinduerben are going to be messed up."

This is the third annual gift she gave to Zhao Surui.

*The names of firearms that appear in this chapter are all styles of firearms that were popular or appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

Except the one inlaid with rubies.

No Responsibility Extra Episode 10
"That's a cup of wine mixed with a pot of water, I... I'm just having a dry addiction, you don't know how much I drink..."

Surrounded by the imperial physicians from the four palaces, Zhao Surui was still arguing with Yiji, but he saw the always obedient and sensible imperial eunuch with a serious face.

"My lord, I'm afraid that in your stomach is the root of our Great Yong Dynasty! Think about your ancestors, your great ancestors, your former crown prince, how can you drink this wine? How can you drink it so well?" go down?"

The imperial doctors withdrew, and Yiji was heartbroken at his emperor.

Zhao Surui: "... I just drank a cup of wine! Did you go to the Ministry of Rites and learn something from others?"

But Yiji lowered his eyes and said: "My lord, I have asked all the female officials in the palace about it. It is rare for a child to be delivered safely like you. You must be more cautious."

Zhao Surui: "...What do you mean? You mean I can't be born?"
