Chapter 9: Continuing to Fool (Collect!) Ask for a tip)

Indifferent to fame and fortune? Not interested in a career? Fool it! The ministers led by Wei Zaode, who were also kneeling below, slandered in their hearts.

"Shaft! It is said that at that time, the fire gun rang at least twenty feet away from the bandit leader, which is beyond the killing distance of my Great Ming Fire Gun, and I wonder how you managed to kill the bandit leader at such a distance? ”

Chongzhen didn't reply to what Liu Hongjian said and didn't get angry, but just asked the doubts in his heart flatly, he has been in this big position for more than ten years, what kind of formation has he not seen?

"Ha, it turns out that the emperor is puzzled by this, our Ming Dynasty's fire gun, the distance of twenty zhang is naturally not good! It's just ......" Liu Honggradually roughly estimated that twenty zhang was about more than 60 meters in modern times.

"It's just that my firearm has been improved, so twenty zhang is naturally no problem!"

Liu Hong gradually said amazingly, but he didn't know that although firearms in the Ming Dynasty have always been at the forefront of the world, they have always been plagued by various problems in the development of firearms, and range and accuracy are the biggest problems.

If the improvement can greatly increase the killing distance of the firearm, the overall combat power of the Ming army will be greatly strengthened, and when facing the peasant army and the Houjin army again, the chance of victory will be greater, which is definitely great news for the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh? Dare to ask how far your firebolt can hit? "Wei Zaode once served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, of course he knew the specific situation of the firecracker, and he couldn't help but think that Liu Hongjian was bragging.

"Well, let me do the math! Well...... It shouldn't be a problem to hit two or three hundred feet," he really doesn't know how far the AKM's maximum killing distance is, but it is estimated that it is still possible to hit 1000 meters.

"What?" All the ministers who know about the fire gun salute Liu Hong's eyes together, twenty zhang to two or three hundred zhang, what is called a wild speech, what is a big speech, in the eyes of the ministers, Liu Hongji's head is on the top of these four big characters.

Some civil officials did not understand the firecracker, so they pulled the familiar military attache comrades around them to ask questions, and some already knew the inside story, and proudly explained to the people around them who did not understand, and the whispers in the court suddenly became like a vegetable market, and finally when all the officials knew that it was impossible for the firearm to hit so far, the vegetable market suddenly became a busy market again.

"Your Majesty, this person is talking nonsense, it is impossible for my firearm to hit so far!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think this kid clearly wants to take the opportunity to squeeze money, and the emperor should punish him for the crime of bullying the king!"

"Tell the emperor, I heard that this kid was just struck by lightning a few days ago, and he is an ominous person, and he will definitely bring disaster to my Daming! The emperor must be guarded against! ”

Seeing the anger of the ministers, Wang Jianren, the official behind the cat, jumped out, and in order to make a stand to Wei Zaode, he hurriedly took out what he thought was a killer feature.

His family lives in Liu Hongji's house diagonally opposite the door, and it is said that Mei Rende happened to be squatting in the latrine that night, and Lord Wang, who was frightened by thunder, almost fell into the pit.

Thinking about why there was thunder in the good weather, he hurriedly lifted his pants and went out, and saw Liu Honggradually lying on the ground, with smoke still coming out of his body.

After Wang Jianren finished shouting, the court immediately quieted, although it was unheard of to be struck by lightning, but it was really unheard of if it was struck by lightning, and all the ministers collectively saluted Liu Hong, as if they were looking at a monster.

Chongzhen originally valued Liu Hongjian a lot, and even most of the ministers opposed it, but he didn't care much, he was originally such a person, and few people could shake the things that the people he recognized could shake.

To say a good sentence is persistence, to say a bad sentence is a tendon, Yuan Chonghuan's appointment is like this, he thinks it's okay, it's okay, he thinks it's not good, it's not okay.

But Emperor Chongzhen was a very superstitious person, and when he heard that Liu Hongjian had been struck by lightning, he couldn't help but hesitate, so he handed Liu Hongjian an inquiring look.

"Back to the emperor, I was really struck by lightning a few days ago, as for why it's okay, I think it's because of an old man!" Liu Hong gradually remembered the old man who kicked him into the whirlpool of the Ming Dynasty that day, and began to fool his descendants.

"That day, thunder fell from the sky, and the little one was at a loss, and suddenly I saw a strange-looking old man in the sky waving his finger, and a golden light shone on me, and what happened next is not clear to the little one......"

"You! There is no golden light! Back to the emperor, the ministers didn't see any old man, nor did they see any golden light! He's clearly a liar. Wang Jianren hurriedly came out to refute.

"Humph! This is a heavenly opportunity, and I can't see it! ”

In one sentence, Wang Jianren's seven tricks were smoked, and you ...... You were speechless for a long time, he had never seen such a rude person.

"Your Majesty, that old man really looks ...... It's so peculiar, so the little impression is very deep! Liu Hong gradually saw that Chongzhen was silent, and then said.

"The old man's heavenly court is full, the earth pavilion is round, and the appearance is dignified, what surprises the grass people the most is that this old man has a few pockmarks on his face, it is actually a seven-star bead, and there is a hidden glow behind him, fairy wind and crane bones, every move has the demeanor of a king, and before the little one fainted, he also said a word to me!"

The first flicker was used on Emperor Chongzhen, the supreme ruler of the Ming Empire, and Liu Hong's face gradually flushed, a little excited.

"That guy has a black mole on the right side of his chin?" Before the ministers started a new round of siege, Chongzhen couldn't sit still, and stood up excitedly, he couldn't help but not be excited, the old man described by Liu Hongjian was clearly the founder of the Ming Empire - Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor.

The portraits of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have been preserved in the Hanlin Academy and other places, but on these portraits left outside, the emperors are naturally kind and kind-eyed, gentle and elegant, with a white face, and the appearance of a virtuous monarch and a bright lord.

Only the royal family who is in the direct line is qualified to see the true face of the Eighth Emperor Zhu Chong, which is not what Liu Hongjian described.

Although it is not kind to say that it is kind to the eyebrows, but it is not unsightly, the only unbeautiful thing is the eight moles on the face, especially the one on the lower left bar is the most conspicuous, the seven moles and seven stars point to the chin, and it is really not easy to find someone in the world who looks so strange.

"Yes, yes, the emperor has also seen it?" Liu Hong gradually pretended to be surprised.

"What did the old man say to you?" Chongzhen stepped forward, his hands trembling a little.

"The moment I was struck by lightning that day, I seemed to hear the old man muttering something, and shook his head as he spoke, telling me to think about it......" Pretending to think about it, Liu Hong gradually scratched his head and began to tell the story of an old man fooling another old man more than two hundred years ago.

"Oh yes! It seems to say, 'Wandering and poisonous, treacherous and rampant, prosperous in the southeast, not in the northwest, cause and effect reincarnation, honesty does not deceive me.'" 'The little ones don't read much, and they don't know what it means!' Liu Hong gradually pretended to be serious.

"Rogue and poisonous, treacherous and rampant, flourishing in the southeast, not in the northwest...... Yes, it must be Gao Zu, but is he disappointed in me? Chongzhen whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
