[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

On a certain day at the beginning of the month, Yu Sheng and Bo Yu arrived in Beijing as expected.

Arriving in Beijing together with the two of them were two wooden boxes, one large and one small, lined with ocher yellow brocade, on which were two fire/guns.Bo Yu was ordered to go to Haizhou to visit craftsmen making guns/guns. The craftsmen are acquaintances and it is not difficult to find them. What delays time is the equipment, raw materials and labor required for making guns/guns.Equipment and raw materials are second to none, and labor is not as simple as just randomly picking up a big and three thick guy.The craftsman knows how to make guns, but he alone is too busy anyway, so he has to accept a few hard-working and smart apprentices, and then teach them slowly.

Because it is a secret decree, although the money is sufficient, it needs to be hidden from people's eyes and ears, and many simple things become quite complicated.

Therefore, this batch of fire/guns was not manufactured until recently.

After it was made, Bo Yu sent a letter to Feige to inform him that he first brought two firearms/guns of different specifications into the palace.

Right now, the wooden box is placed on the imperial case in front of Tang Yu.Tang Xi took out two guns/guns, one large and one small, from the wooden box, weighed them in his hands respectively, and noticed the difference in weight.She put down the big fire/gun, and began to look at the small fire/gun, only to see that it was completely black, the barrel was longer and straighter than the gun she was familiar with in the previous life, and its appearance was slightly more delicate and small, while the big fire/gun From the naked eye, it is undoubtedly its Plus version, and there is no difference for the time being.

In his previous life, Tang Yu was a good citizen with good roots. He did not become a policeman or a bandit. He had no chance to contact the police, and he had no interest in the military.Therefore, the fire/gun in her hand is familiar to her, but even stranger to her.After only a few glances, she asked Bo Yu about the range, accuracy and power of the two firearms/guns.

Bo Yu knew everything, and compared it with the firearms/guns she gave her a few years ago: "I was still the commander of the capital in Haizhou, and I suppressed the Japanese many times, but I was constrained everywhere because of backward military equipment. /The gun has been around for a long time. This fire/gun has been made, and its range, power and accuracy are far superior to those of the Japanese. It is expected that when our enemies meet in the future, they will be the envy of us.”

Although Bo Yu was born slender and delicate, she always had the blood of determination and courage of a warrior in her bones. Not only did she not seem to be arrogant or boastful when she said these words, on the contrary, there was a wave of fresh clothes and angry horses from between her flying and handsome eyebrows. Chang'an Hua's high spirits burst forth.

Seeing her look like this, Tang Xi trusted her even if she didn't go to the school grounds to test the gun.But she still shook her head and said: "The Japanese were defeated long ago, so there is nothing to worry about. You were not present at the time of Xia Miao, so I don't know. The Frankie's guns/guns threatened to snatch the leader of the hunt. They don't need to light a fire, It can fire three rounds of ammunition at a time. I heard from Tang Jili that it is called a revolver."

The king's four seasons hunting leaders all have heavy rewards, but there are many people who don't covet wealth and want to take the opportunity to gain official positions for their children and grandchildren.Therefore, the leader was quite competitive, and it stands to reason that everyone involved had tried their best to deal with it. This time, Xia Miao almost let the Frankies snatch the leader away.

It's ridiculous and sad that none of the ministers questioned the gap between guns and fire/guns. Instead, they vented their anger and resentment on their own children who handed over the leader's position to others.Scold them for being lazy, not good at learning, and lagging behind others.Even Xiao Shen, Yan Yi and his like kept silent about fire/guns, and only regarded this narrow victory as an accident.

Whether accidents are accidents or not is yet to be judged, but in the long run, self-deception and self-deception will no longer be accidents, but the norm.

It was Su Xie, who once had a confrontation with Tang Yu in private, and then asked Tang Ji to lend him the Frankie's travel book translated by Tang Jili.This happened a few days ago, so I don't know how Su Xie feels about it.

When Bo Yu heard this, she was a little surprised, but she had a lot of experience and was able to calm down.Soon he asked for orders: "Your Majesty, let me wait a few days, and I will go to Haizhou immediately, and then negotiate with the craftsmen, or there may be ways to improve."

Hearing that she proclaimed herself a vassal in front of him, Tang Xi knew that she must have felt that the guns/guns brought back to Beijing this time were of little use, that she had failed the emperor's kindness, and was eager to make up for her mistakes.Seeing that she was so serious, and so cute, Tang Yi had no choice but to be serious with her.She winked at Chi Zai, and Chi Zai went to the Duobaoge in the hall to fetch a fire/spear placed on a carved nanmu stand.

Tang Yu took the fire/gun and handed it to Bo Yu: "Although I can figure it out by myself, I dismantled it and looked at the internal structure. I think it's faster to take a shortcut than to climb the mountain."

This fire/gun is exactly the revolver offered by the Frankies.It is not the first time that they donated treasures to the monarch of the Central Plains. The travel notes translated by Tang Jili clearly recorded a telescope donated by the Frankies a few years ago, but looking at the Central Plains today, one can know the telescope It should have been hidden in the private treasury by the king at that time, probably only as his personal preference, and it was never popular even in the upper-level bureaucratic society, and no one among the people studied it.

The same is true for the revolver. The Frankies probably thought that the young emperor of the Jin Dynasty, who looked like a girl, was playful and had no city. At most, he would display this unique revolver as a Qing antique. When she changed hands, she wanted to take it to a craftsman to disassemble it, study and rebuild it, and use it to deal with herself.

Bo Yu's expression was as calm as usual, but in his heart there was more or less respect for the emperor who was almost ten years younger than him, and he felt that although she was young, her thoughts seemed to be more profound than the previous emperor.She is not familiar with the tactics of the court, but she has been fighting on the battlefield all the year round and she understands a truth, only martial arts stop fighting.This vast territory of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is the result of a drop of blood and sweat by the soldiers of Kyushu. In the years of suppressing the Japanese, because the military equipment lagged behind others, everything will be destroyed!

Bo Yu took the revolver and was about to bow and leave, but Tang Yu stopped her by saying: "Cousin Ayu, this matter is not in a hurry. You and your cousin have been away from Beijing for almost a year, and you just came back today." , the journey is hard, so let’s rest for a few days.”

After all, Tang Yu had her own selfish intentions, so she smiled embarrassedly, her peach blossom eyes were full of smiles, and her tenderness was tender: "Let my cousin stay for a few more days, my mother needs someone to talk to her."

Boudoir friendship and sisterhood are different from love, as some things can be said to relatives, but not to lovers, and vice versa.She was very generous this time, and she really didn't like it.

And just as Tang Yu expected, right now Yu Sheng and the Queen Mother are talking about something personal that they can't tell her in the Changle Hall.

"Sister-in-law, you really..." Yu Sheng's words were on his lips, but he didn't know how to say them.About a year ago, Bo Yu was ordered to make guns and took her away from Beijing. The Empress Dowager asked her privately, which really surprised Yu Sheng.

It's only a year, but it seems like a lifetime away.

Yu Sheng's eyes slowly walked over the Queen Mother's face inch by inch, and his heart was filled with pity.She and her were the best playmates when they were children. Even when they grow up, they are different from each other. She is very familiar with her. A person with such a mature and stable mind seems to be a young and clumsy student when he asks himself, Although her speech was fluent and she never stuttered, her trembling was enough to reveal her inner helplessness.

In fact, she had nothing to do with Xiao Qi.

The child raised by himself has developed admiration for himself.

Fortunately, it's sister-in-law who treats Xiaoqi as her own, loves her, tolerates her and treats her leniently.If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would either be so angry that they would drive their children out of the house.

However, the current situation, Yu Sheng asked herself, is it what she could have expected back then?

The Queen Mother picked up the teacup, gently flipped the lid, and took a sip of Lanxue tea.The lingering fragrance lingers between the lips and teeth, as if a winter snow in Jinling has fallen all over the world.She frowned and smiled lightly: "I don't know if it's true or not. I told you at that time that I never liked anyone, but I treated her... I always treated her as my own daughter. In the past, I did something wrong and made the innocent The person who was killed was killed, and then I just wanted to make amends. Since she was dragged into the whirlpool, she was destined to be unable to escape from this palace, so let’s make up for her. Give her what she lacks, so that she can live happily as much as possible .”

"This kind mother, loving daughter, and filial piety have been living in peace for more than ten years. Suddenly, one day, I realized that she had grown up, and I felt a little lost in my heart. I probably thought that I was getting old to her. Sooner or later, she will be with her. Once a person gets married and bears children for him, he is far away from me day by day. After the loss, I feel at ease, I think, I am her mother, so I can't keep her by my side forever."

She had never said these words to anyone, as if she had hidden them in her heart for a long time.With slender and fair fingers stroking the white glaze on the teacup, she drooped her eyes, and let out a soft sigh from her lips: "A Sheng, she has grown up, and the only thing she lacks is that I don't know whether to give it or not. Can you afford it?"

"Sister-in-law—" Yu Sheng had already cried for her blindness just now, his eyes were still red and swollen, and he lost all scruples when he spoke agitatedly, "The position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord is flocked to by everyone in the world. Does she help God to the throne, but still feel that she has not done enough? You don’t always think about yourself, your eyes are on it, and you still want to put your own reputation on it in the future? "

How can it be good to hear such a big crime in the world in the future.

Seeing that she was indifferent, Yu Sheng blurted out in desperation: "If you really want to be with her, why don't you let her recognize your biological mother? With this, who in the court and the public will criticize it?"

"Xiaoqi recognizes her mother, and recognizes her father. At that time, her throne will no longer be orthodox. How can she convince the public?" The queen mother shook her head, "Ah Sheng, as long as this throne is up, it will be difficult to think about it. "In all dynasties, the fate of the deposed emperor has never been good. If we talk about the difference, it's just whether he died decently or not.

Yu Sheng heard her words were only thinking of Tang Yin, panicked in his heart, and couldn't help asking in a trembling voice: "Sister-in-law, do you mean to Xiao Qi..."

The queen mother was silent for a while, and said softly: "Probably."

Bo Yu promised to stay in Beijing for a few days, and the official business came to an end for the time being, Tang Yu walked out with her to the Changle Hall.

Just after leaving the main hall, there was a lot of noise in the direction of Xiyuan, the sound of whipping and the cries of children could be faintly heard, which was quite unusual.

Afraid of disturbing his master, Chi Zai hurriedly sent someone to check what happened.

After a while, as the Xiyuan returned to silence, some people came back and forth: "Your Majesty, it's just a trivial matter. A servant of Ye Ting escaped while having lunch, and was brought back by the people of Ye Ting."

The waiter didn't know where to stop, so he began to chatter: "Is it possible that this servant thinks that his mother was once a golden phoenix, and she is also a troubled lady? She was born in Yeting, and she has been beaten several times. I don’t even know how long my memory is…”

Palace people are most taboo to talk too much.Chi looked at Tang Yu's face again, slapped him on the head, and yelled at him several times, until the servant was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs became weak, and he fell to his knees, begging for mercy.

Tang Yi didn't take it seriously, but just heard from him that the status of the slave in Xiyuan just now was quite special, so he asked Chi Zai.

Chi Zai hesitated and said: "It's the widow and posthumous son of Prince Zheng's son. King Zheng conspired against him, and the son followed his father to punish him. The concubine was pregnant at that time, and His Highness was kind enough to reduce the punishment and allow her to do some superficial things in Yeting." Chores."

Prince Zheng's son, the widow?

Tang Yu was thinking while walking forward, his eyebrows slightly frowned.When Chi Zai saw this, he thought that she was thinking of the old incident of the same room fighting against blood relatives a few years ago, and his heart was touched.

But she didn't know, she just remembered something suddenly.

Although this matter is not urgent right now, it is related to Guozuo, so we need to take it easy.

She is going to discuss with the Queen Mother.

The author has something to say: It's been a long time, everyone.

What I said today is probably based on my work and rest time, the hand speed is really slow...crying

Huh, for the chapter where His Highness and Xiaoqi have no interaction, I have a feeling that the comments will suddenly decrease.

Probably only sprinkling sugar or stabbing a knife can stimulate you~ la la la ~

See you tomorrow_(:з」∠)_
