No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

What?

Will something go wrong?

Fourteen's bared teeth were immediately retracted.

He wanted to achieve great merit, but he didn't want to risk his own life.

Although the battlefield is full of blind swords and knives, at least half of it is in the hands of himself and his guards.

But if something goes wrong with this musket, that would be really fatal and unreasonable.

Fourteen is a little scared.

Dai Zi saw it and hurriedly explained: "It's not like there's going to be a barrel explosion."

"It's true that this burst of fire may not always reach 28 rounds. It may stop at 20 rounds and the gunpowder needs to be replaced."

When it was first developed, although we boasted that it could fire 28 rounds in a row, that was only the maximum.

But these are minor problems, and they can be improved once the ratio of gunpowder bullets is improved.

But before he could start to make improvements, he was falsely accused and exiled.

During his first few years in Shengjing, he gave up on himself and had neither the energy nor the ability to do research.

After he was pardoned, he wanted to pick it up again, but he lacked raw materials and the progress was very slow.

So the current muskets are not much different from those from more than ten years ago.

When Fourteen heard that there was no explosion, he was not afraid and grinned again.

When they set up camp in the evening, he pestered Dai Zi to touch the musket.

The setting sun dyed half the sky red, and Dai Zi's face was also flushed.

He wanted to make friends with Fourteen, so of course he wouldn't hesitate to take out his musket.

It would be best if I could please the Fourteenth Prince, so that he can say a few good words for him in front of the Emperor.

Dai Gao is young but smart. Relying on his cleverness and likability, he has become familiar with Shisi a long time ago.

This time, with his father's consent, he hurriedly moved out the box containing the musket.

Dai Zi did not hide his knowledge and taught the fourteen muskets how to load ammunition step by step.

Fourteen couldn't let go of it. "Master Dai, do you have enough gunpowder? Let me try it."

He couldn't wait to try it.

Dai Zi hesitated for a moment and said, "Fourteenth Master, please."

Of course, there was not enough gunpowder. After all, he had accumulated it bit by bit over the past two years.

But now that everyone has been invited to Beijing, there will be no more problems with insufficient supplies.

The most urgent task is to let the Fourteenth Prince have a good time.

As expected, Fourteen got what he wanted. With the guidance and help of Dai Zi and Dai Gao, he quickly got the hang of it.

Because I was good at archery while riding, once I mastered the technique, I could shoot with accuracy immediately.

The atmosphere reached its climax after he shot a musk deer in the head with a musket.

Fourteen looked at the bloody musk deer, feeling extremely excited: "This power is really amazing!"

His ears were ringing from the vibration, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

He wanted to roar to the sky.

Compared with the bow and arrow, this musket is simply not on the same level as the weapon.

I really don't understand why the wise and brave emperor exiled Dai Zi back then.

If it were him, as long as Dai Zi didn't commit the serious crime of treason, there would be no way he would touch him!

Since Dai Zi was able to get into officialdom, he was naturally not a straightforward person.

His flattery skills were also amazing: "Fourteenth Master's talent is truly unparalleled."

"It's only been a short while and he's already got the hang of it. He's a genius among geniuses."

"Once he's on the battlefield someday, he'll be invincible!"

These words are not entirely compliments. After all, Fourteen got the hang of things really quickly.

In addition, he mentioned his meritorious service on the battlefield, which made Fourteen smile with joy.

The more he looked at the Dai family father and son, the more he liked them.

In the evening, they roasted the hunted musk deer, and Fourteen and the Dai family father and son started drinking again.

While drinking, Dai Zi mentioned that he wanted to send his youngest son Dai Gao to study under the Fourteenth Master.

Of course Fourteen was willing, and he patted his chest and accepted him.

He thought he had a good relationship with his fourth brother, and going to the battlefield was just a matter of submitting a memorial, so bringing someone with him was certainly not a problem.

Besides, if Fourth Brother doesn't agree, he will go find Fourth Sister-in-law.

He has been good friends with Fourth Sister-in-law since he was a child, so Fourth Sister-in-law will definitely help him!

This is the confidence of my younger brother.

When they rushed back to the capital, all the ammunition that Dai Zi had secretly stored was used up by Fourteen.

Fourteen's gun skills also improved by leaps and bounds, and he became more energetic.

After arriving in Beijing, he did not dare to stop for a moment and took people to the palace to report.

The Fourth Master was talking to Lin Mingyan when he heard someone say that the Fourteenth Master had brought Dai Zi back.

He stood up at once, obviously having been waiting for this.

Lin Mingyan also followed him out for two steps. She was also very curious about Dai Zi, but it was a pity that she couldn't see him.

The Fourth Master turned to look at her lively expression, paused, and coughed: "Since it was Dai Zi who was recommended by the Queen, let's go and see him together."

Now the person has been welcomed back, and Fourteen has also written back from the way, saying that Dai Zi is indeed a man of real talent and knowledge.

Then he was not afraid that others would know that Dai Zi was recommended by Cha Cha, so it would be better to give the credit to her than to others.

Even before he ascended the throne, he was not afraid of Cha Cha's achievements and reputation.

But at that time, it was still the Emperor who made the decision, so it was inevitable that sometimes he could not give Cha Cha what she deserved.

Now he is the master of the world, and he has the final say on how far the queen can go and how she can live.

He did not want history to record Cha Cha with just a few words, but wanted her to be written about in as vivid a manner as he was.

If he is striving to be a wise ruler, then she will also be a virtuous queen!

Lin Mingyan was stunned when she heard this, but when she met the Fourth Master's encouraging gaze, she immediately put her hand into his outstretched hand.

No matter when, as long as the Fourth Master is willing to give it, she will take it without hesitation!

The emperor and empress walked hand in hand into the front hall of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. The Fourth Master directly asked Su Peisheng to add a seat next to him and pulled her to sit down.

A young eunuch had already gone outside to summon Fourteen and Dai Zi. When the two came in, they didn't even bother to look up, but just patted their sleeves and knelt down.

The Fourth Master shouted, "No need to be so polite," and motioned Su Peisheng to go up and help the man up, and then allowed him to sit down.

Only then did the king and his ministers meet.

The moment Dai Zi raised his head, tears were streaming down his face, and his crying was so touching.

Lin Mingyan didn't expect that the famous Dai Zi looked like such an octogenarian. He was less than sixty years old, but looked like he was in his seventies or eighties.

She took several furtive glances.

When Fourteen looked up, he was surprised: "Fourth sister-in-law? Why are you here?"

It’s no wonder that Fourteenth was surprised. Such a thing would never happen during the Kangxi reign.

When His Majesty met with his subjects, no one was ever allowed to sit next to him.

In fact, this is not uncommon in history. Some ministers even specifically established good relationships with the queen or favored concubines in order to communicate with the front court and the harem, so as to have more weight in the eyes of the emperor.

But Fourteen has never seen it before, and he is shocked.

Dai Zi had seen Lin Mingyan a long time ago, but he was still guilty, so no matter how curious he was, he didn't dare to ask about it.

The Fourth Master glared at Fourteen and replied, "Lord Dai was recommended by your Fourth Sister-in-law. I just wanted her to meet him."
