Chapter 520: The Empress Dowager is Invited (Fourth Update)
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Chen Kaizhi turned over and got on the horse, but he arrived at the Xueer Library.
Since Chen Kaizhi mastered this Xueer Library, relying on some romance stories, the printing volume of the library has been good.
When the shopkeeper heard that Chen Kaizhi, the major shareholder, was here, he dared to slack off, so he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"I heard that the general has become a clan, oops, this is really a happy event, the villain has always wanted to go to Feiyufeng to congratulate, but he is afraid of being abrupt, the general is here today, and the villain will say hello to the general."
Chen Kaizhi's face naturally improved for people with a good attitude, so he smiled and said: "Where, Daoxi is not needed, I have a good story to write, you have to be prepared here." β
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, he was waiting for Chen Kaizhi's good story, Chen Kaizhi's story was very attractive, the book has always been very popular, and now Chen Kaizhi asked him to prepare, he was naturally more anxious than Chen Kaizhi, and he couldn't wait to ask: "But I don't know what the story is?" β
Chen Kaizhi said without hesitation: "Naturally, it's about Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizu Gao raised troops to settle the world, isn't this a good story?" This is a ready-made theme, in the past, although it was to praise Emperor Taizu Gao, but even if there was a place, there was a taboo, but now it is different, now I am the clan, and it is a matter of course to praise Gaozu, you hang out the sign first, first advertise it, and warm it up. β
When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyebrows immediately danced, and a pair of eyes seemed to see white flowers of silver falling from the sky, shining straight.
In fact, in this era, there are some stories about Emperor Gao, and everyone loves to listen to them, but there are very few books about Emperor Taizu Gao, and the key problem is that it involves Emperor Taizu Gao, which inevitably makes people afraid of violating any taboos.
But Chen Kaizhi is different, Chen Kaizhi is a royal family of the clan, if he writes it, few people will question it.
If such a book comes out, I'm afraid it will be a big hit again.
This shopkeeper is busy, and since Chen Kaizhi is here, he has to take a look at the accounts.
Reconcile accounts.
Chen Kaizhi exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper and left.
Immediately returned to the mountain, Chen Kaizhi also began to work behind closed doors, closed the door to get the record of Taizu, Chen Kaizhi started to write a book of Emperor Gao's Romance.
When it comes to Emperor Gao, we must avoid taboos, and this is Chen Kaizhi's strong point, after all, he is from Hanlin, dignified Hanlin, and his mastery of words has long been perfect, as for what can be written and what cannot be written, he knows it very well.
After only half a month's effort, the first volume was completed, and in the process, in the iron workshop of Feiyu Peak, the first artillery was successfully released.
The first artillery is a drawing drawn by Chen Kaizhi himself, there were already artillery in this era, but most of them were relatively shoddy, and they were still at the level of the Song and Yuan dynasties in the previous generation, and the reason why Chen Kaizhi cast the cannon was because the steel was mature, and on the other hand, it was complementary to the firecracker.
Because the process is not up to standard, the rifling cannot be depicted, and the process of lead bullet is not mature, but the small-caliber gun pipe cannot be rifled, but it does not mean that this huge caliber cannon cannot.
The function of rifling is to correct the trajectory, the general smoothbore artillery has almost no accuracy at all, the gun is equivalent to flying straight out, in fact, it is equivalent to a stone flying out of the slingshot, and once the gun has rifling, it means that after the shell is ejected, it can spiral forward in the air, which not only greatly improves the range of the artillery, but also improves the accuracy.
If the smoothbore artillery of this era belongs to which direction it is pointing, it can only ensure that it is hit in this direction, and as for where it hits, whether it will be too far from the point of impact has nothing to do with it.
But if it is rifled artillery, it is completely different, it can almost be barely called where to hit, although the accuracy is much worse than the artillery of the previous generation, but this alone is enough to shock.
In addition, smoothbore guns tend to have a longer barrel because they try their best to increase the firing range, while rifled guns do not have to work the length of the barrel because they have rifling.
In addition, the strength of this new alloy steel can fully withstand the pressure caused by the explosion of gunpowder in the chamber, so this first manufactured artillery can be regarded as lightweight, but it weighs only 200 catties, which is much lighter for the cannon that can easily be 500 catties or thousands of catties.
More power, greater accuracy, longer range, and light portability, these four characteristics are enough to make the artillery that was not practical in this era become practical.
However, Chen Kaizhi's mind is on the book, just let the craftsmen test the improvement after the firing, Chen Kaizhi is not a professional mechanic after all, all he can provide is just a direction, at most some theoretical research, and as for the improvement and correction, can only let the craftsmen debug again and again, and after mastering a lot of data, they can improve again and again.
The first book has begun to be printed, because of Chen Kaizhi's name, coupled with the ten-day expansion channels of Xueer Library, so this new book is on the market, and it will soon open the market, Yamashita has a lot of discussions about this book, many people think that this book is much worse than the previous stone records, but when I think about it, this is Chen Kaizhi's touting of his ancestors' works, not to mention that this book combines historical facts, and adds romance elements, but it is quite popular.
Two days later, a eunuch went up the mountain, and the empress dowager summoned him.
Where did Chen Kaizhi dare to slack off, changed into court clothes, tied a purple gold fish bag around his waist and hurriedly set off, and the eunuch who received him directly led Chen Kaizhi to bypass the front hall and go directly to Wanshou Palace.
This longevity palace was deserted before, and now when the empress dowager moved to Luoyang, it has already been newly decorated, Chen Kaizhi to the main hall, and saw the empress dowager surrounded by many people, smiling and talking to the empress dowager Mu, King Zhao, King Zheng, King Liang and the king of Beihai County.
Even the little emperor was there, the little emperor honestly knelt at the feet of the empress dowager, a pair of eyes turned slightly, as if looking at something, Chen Kaizhi had not yet saluted, and listened to King Liang say: "Your Majesty is reading more and more books, and the masters praise him for his talent and intelligence." β
"Really?" The Empress Dowager looked very happy, and smiled at the little emperor: "Chu Ci, maybe memorize?" β
The little emperor looked confused, his eyes were full of puzzlement, and he looked around at everyone with a small mouth, as if asking, what the hell is Chu Ci?
King Liang suddenly became embarrassed.
Although Chen Zhenjing was smiling, it was difficult to say what his mood was.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager immediately said with a smile: "You see, the mourning family always treats him as a big child, so what can Your Majesty recite, recite it to the mourning family." β
The little emperor hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also talk about ......."
The Empress Dowager still listened attentively, heard this, waited for a while, and found that there was no news, and couldn't help but say: "What else?" β
The little emperor thought about it, his little face was full of nervousness, but he quickly remembered it, so he memorized it hesitantly: "Learn and learn from time to time, don't you say... Yes...... Have friends ...... Have friends ...... Learn and learn, don't you say..."
ββ¦β¦β
It's just one sentence over and over again.
The audience was silent, Chen Kaizhi was also dumbfounded, this Your Majesty, it should be five years old now, a five-year-old child, even in the previous life, it was able to run, dance, sing nursery rhymes and recite ancient poems, I will ...... Fortunately, he didn't accept King Zhao's invitation and went to be the emperor's master, this is ...... Smash the signboard alive.
This little emperor has a low IQ, it's just mentally retarded.
Chen Kaizhi doesn't have the slightest good impression of the little emperor, it's not that he is narrow-minded and can't get along with a child, it's just that this emperor's temperament is too wild, and he wants to kill people at every turn. If you don't teach, I'm afraid you will be a tyrant in the future.
Chen Kaizhi coughed, broke the embarrassment, and slowly saluted: "Niangniang, Chen Kaizhi has seen all your mothers and your Royal Highnesses." β
The Empress Dowager first stared deeply at the little emperor, and when she heard the movement, she raised her eyes and looked at Chen Kai with a deep meaning, there seemed to be some regret in those eyes, but she still beat her spirit: "Kaizhi, are you here?" Come, sit for Chen Kaizhi. β
On such occasions, you can't sit on a stool, so the eunuch brought the futon, Chen Kaizhi knelt down and sat down according to his words, and then said: "Thank you Empress Dowager." β
When he withdrew his gaze towards the Empress Dowager, the corner of his eye fell on the Empress Dowager Mu, who seemed to have been looking at him all the time, a little distracted. He couldn't help but think to himself, what did this Empress Dowager Mu want to tell him?
The Empress Dowager said: "Recently, you have been sent, right?" β
Chen Kaizhi immediately came back to his senses when he heard this, and bowed his head to the Empress Dowager: "Yes, there is an errand." β
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager smiled, and her eyebrows also moved: "The mourning family also explained a few days ago, I want you to find something, you are a pillar, even if you enter the clan, you should serve more." β
Chen Kai thought in his heart that the Empress Dowager was saying this now, and it shouldn't be okay for her own business, so he happily broke away: "Yes, so the officials invited the ministers to go to the capital to supervise the affairs of Jibei." β
"Governor Jibei, so you are also out of Beijing?" The Empress Dowager smiled, since she is the governor, it is natural to go out of Beijing, she was about to say a few regretful words, and suddenly thought of something, Jibei......
The Empress Dowager frowned, and a pair of eyes immediately looked at the Empress Dowager Mu, and asked, "What's going on?" β
Empress Dowager Mu was stunned, and seemed a little incredulous, who arranged it like this, but even if she was angry in her heart, she restrained herself, frowned and said to the Empress Dowager.
"These days, the concubines are thinking that the queen mother has just come back, so they are all talking about the things in the palace, these days, they are also diligent to come to this Wanshou Palace, and the mourning family does not know about this matter."
