Chapter 58 Story of Yanxi Palace (Fu Heng) 3

A few months later, the emperor still hadn't woken up, and his breath was getting weaker and weaker. The court officials could no longer sit still. This country cannot be without a king for a day, and this is not a joke. The surrounding forces have heard the gossip and are ready to take action.

Finally, the court officials, clan members and the empress unanimously decided to check behind the plaque "正大光明" in the Qianqing Palace to see if there was an imperial edict to pass on the throne. Fortunately, everyone found the imperial edict to pass on the throne to Yonglian.

Yonglian was the legitimate son, and the emperor had always loved him very much. He had always said that the legitimate son would succeed him in the future. In addition, the imperial edict was found to be true after inspection, and the Fucha family was not to be trifled with. Therefore, in the end, no one had any objection to the second prince succeeding to the throne.

The coronation ceremony was held soon. Judging from the progress, we knew that the people in the Ministry of Rites were afraid that the emperor might not wake up, so they made preparations secretly.

Yonglian ascended the throne smoothly, and when the court was stable, Changran prepared to lead his army to war.

Because he knew the history, Chang Ran had been studying the current guns and cannons over the years, and had made many improvements in private.

Chang Ran had been rushing to make it since the emperor fell into a coma. Now was also the time to give some deterrence to the surrounding forces and those in the court who had hidden intentions.

Chang Ran's trip went smoothly. Since the firearms used this time were much more powerful than before, the situation on the battlefield was one-sided.

The victory of this war shocked everyone. No one knew that Chang Ran had such a powerful firearm. Fortunately, it was the second prince who ascended the throne, otherwise he would have rebelled.

After returning to the capital, Chang Ran presented the firearms used in the battle to the emperor, and gave the drawings and craftsmen who made them to the emperor.

Although the emperor is his nephew, there is no father and son in the royal family, let alone uncle. There are many emperors in history who have taken action against their relatives.

Besides, I am very lazy. If I were not in this position, I would have lay down long ago.

Changran told the emperor that the reason he was able to make such powerful firearms was because he learned it from countries like England and Germany.

Chang Ran gave the emperor a world map and told him that Western countries were using artillery and large ships to carry out colonial plunder. The distance between us and the West was not a problem at all.

I hope to be able to visit various countries, see their current actual conditions, and learn and introduce their knowledge.

Yonglian found it a little hard to believe, even though he had always known about these Western countries and had learned some knowledge about them.

But everyone has always regarded themselves as the Celestial Empire, and never expected that these countries have become so powerful.

Changran traveled on a well-built ship, with a guard team and specially selected royal relatives, court officials in idle positions, generals, and most of the rest were young men from various families in the court.

From now on, this world belongs to the young. Let them see the real world outside with their own eyes so that they will know what to do.

The purpose of this trip was indeed achieved. Seeing the fast-paced changes in the West, one can imagine the consequences of us standing still while the West continues to develop.

Because there were no cameras at the time, Chang Ran asked painters brought from China and sketchers invited from the West to help draw some important scenes.

When he returned, Chang Ran brought back all kinds of things that were useful to the country, including books, textile machines, guns, cannons, and steam engines.

These are not the most important things. The most serious thing is their development speed.

Therefore, trips like this one should be held regularly in the future. We should also pay attention to the people who travel and not let them be bribed.
