"Hmph, Duke An Guo is alarmist here, although this official has not been on the battlefield, but the basic common sense still knows, you are deceiving Your Majesty, you are deceiving the king!"

Ma Shiying didn't know about Wei Zaode's scandal last year, in fact, he was still in Nanjing City at that time.

But Ma Shiying didn't know, but many keyboard warriors behind him did.

Many people were in a hurry, and they wanted to remind him but they couldn't, because Ma Shiying was standing in front of them.

"Ma Aiqing is serious, An Guogong will not deceive me!" Chongzhen was not happy, he glanced at Ma Shiying and said.

Thinking that you have deceived me for seventeen years, and now that the ancestor has finally come to a courtier who tells the truth and does practical things, you have come to bite back again.

Am I really a fool?

If you think I'm a fool, I'll make you a devil!"

"Your Majesty, don't panic, it is reasonable for Lord Ma to question the musket in the minister's hand, after all, you can't just comment on the minister's lips and convince the ministers.

So, Master Ma, how about we make a bet? Liu Hongjian showed an extremely kind smile on his face.

Not again! Many civil officials who survived the banquet at the Hongmen Banquet last year remembered the scene a year ago.

Chongzhen naturally knew about this, but he was not very interested in Ma Shiying, who was introduced by Chengguo Gong.

This guy also repeatedly slandered his humerus minister, but Yi Chongzhen did not stop it.

"Bet? What to bet on? As the official of the Ming Dynasty, how could he do such a thing in the market, An Guogong's words are unseemly! ”

Ma Shiying's words were full of disdain for Liu Hong's philistine behavior.

"Don't refuse so resolutely!

If the musket in the hands of the national duke could not hit 300 steps, then the national duke destroyed the musket on the spot and was willing to apologize to the horseman.

In addition, add 10,000 taels of silver as compensation!

Big gambling hurts the body, small gambling is pleasant, how about it, is Master Ma interested? Liu Hong gradually finished speaking, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying's eyes were sudden, although it was difficult to get to the court for gambling, how could the gun be farther than the cannonball!

That's 10,000 taels of silver! can buy hundreds of concubines, can buy more than 200 hectares of fertile land, can buy ......

Even if he was the title of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he only spent 20,000 taels of silver to dredge the ......

Ma Shiying's eyebrows twitched and he was a little moved, he glanced at Liu Hongjian and found that this guy was waiting for his reply with a smile on his face.

"How to bet?" Ma Shiying said subconsciously.

After saying that, he regretted it, not that the gun could really shoot 300 steps, but just now he said that he didn't gamble, but now he slapped himself in the face.

"It's easy! Let's go to the outside of the temple, find an open space, and see how far this gun can hit!" Liu Hongjian did not debunk it, but continued to guide with interest.

"Good! This official promises you, this official is helping the imperial court to revitalize the dynasty! Ma Shiying licked her lips and added righteously.

"In this case, please bet on Lord Ma!" Liu Hongjian reminded.

"Huh?" Ma Shiying was puzzled.

"Why, do you think that you can get money if you win a bet, and you don't have to be responsible for anything if you lose a bet!" Liu Hong gradually pretended to be surprised.

Now that you've jumped into the pit, don't even think about climbing out!

"If the Duke loses, not only will the reward for the armory be gone, but he will also lose 10,000 taels of silver.

It's better to do this, if you lose, you will also apologize to the official, as for the ten thousand taels of silver......

I heard that Master Ma has always had a clean breeze on his sleeves, and it is estimated that he will not be able to take it out.

However, the Duke of China has an idea, if Lord Ma does not believe that the musket of the Lord of China can shoot 300 steps, then ask Lord Ma to be the target!

Anyway, the guns of your own country can't shoot so far, so you can save a lot of money!

How about Ma-sama? Do you dare to try it? ”

Liu Hong gradually saw that Ma Shiying was embarrassed, and gave Ma Shiying ideas on his own.

"Humph! Why don't you dare! This official just wants to expose your lies, and the Ming Dynasty is not your An Guogong's words! Ma Shiying feels very handsome at the moment.

Everyone in the court didn't dare to speak, only he dared, looking at the entire court, they were all eggless rats......

But faintly, he felt a little bad, what if what An Guogong said was true?

And although An Guogong said that his two sleeves are quite pertinent, he still has a lot of 10,000 taels of silver at home......

It's just that the big tall hat is on his head, and he can't refute it.

Everyone is very poor and knows that you are also poor, but as soon as you make a move, you easily take out 10,000 taels, what do your colleagues think? What does the emperor think?

"Isn't it a bit too much for the two Aiqing!" Chongzhen watched from the throne as it intensified below, and spoke.

"I am willing to ask Your Majesty for permission!" Liu Hongjian and Ma Shiying said in unison.

……

On the long imperial road outside the Imperial Gate, several small yellow gates moved four targets, two high and two low, from the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Ma Shiying stood tremblingly in the middle of the target under Liu Hongji's signal, he seemed to feel a little bad, and sweat was already on his forehead.

But reason told him that An Guogong's kid controlled the court, and he was referring to the deer as a horse.

The gun would definitely not be able to shoot so far, thinking of this, he calmed down in his heart for a moment, and looked at his colleagues three hundred steps away!

and An Guogong with a gun.

The reason why two targets were placed on both sides and above Ma Shiying was because Liu Hongjian was not confident in his marksmanship.

At this moment, Liu Hong gradually raised his gun, and the courtiers behind him also raised their hearts to their throats.

Everyone was waiting for Liu Hong to shoot gradually, but after aiming for a while, he actually put the gun down again!

"Master Ma! Bullets have no eyes, don't you really regret it? Liu Hongjian suddenly shouted at Ma Shiying on the other side of the royal road.

"Don't regret it, Anguo will open the gun!" After listening to Liu Hongji's words, Ma Shiying became more determined.

After all, if your gun can really hit that far, why do you have to remind the official repeatedly, you must be weak-hearted!

Hey! This 10,000 taels of silver has been earned!

"Ladies and gentlemen, if something happens later, you will have to testify to your own country!

The Duke of China didn't coerce and lure Lord Ma, he had to do it! Liu Hong gradually turned his head to the officials behind him.

Chongzhen himself would definitely not deign to see this gamble, but as Chongzhen's eyes, Li Yunkui followed.

He sighed softly, alas, the imperial court will lose another national pillar!

Most of the surrounding courtiers did not speak, only a few masters of the cabinet responded to the Tao, so Liu Hong gradually did not delay any longer, raised his gun and began to aim.

Bang - a gunshot rang out, and several ministers who choked on a puff of black smoke coughed.

But everyone stared at the target in the distance, and Ma Shiying in the middle of the target.

"Master Ma is still standing well, this musket can't hit that far!" Seeing this, a royal historian did not hesitate anymore, and shouted to his colleagues behind him.
