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

Longkodo once again took out three arrows, and the arrogance on Fourteen's face shifted to his face.

He even said calmly, "Fourteenth Prince, this fire gun is no longer effective?"

Many of the onlookers recovered from their shock and began to feel sorry for Fourteen.

"Oh, the power of this musket really can't be underestimated!"

"Yes, firing fourteen rounds in a row is incredible."

"If it were on the battlefield, it would also be a murderous aura, right?"

"What a shame! This competition requires twenty targets. We're just one step short!"

"Who says it's not? But Dai Zi is just being too arrogant. If he had just competed with a dozen targets, wouldn't he have won?"

"It would be safer for Master Tong to take on the position of Grand General~"

......

Fourteen listened to these people's ridicule and was a little speechless: "Why? He can change arrows, and I can't change ammunition?"

As he spoke, he quickly replaced the ammunition.

He had prepared this ammunition long ago, not just one or two sets.

Before he finished speaking, he raised his musket again.

This time, the gunshots came faster.

"Bang bang bang bang bang~~"

The six targets fell to the ground. Fourteen blew out the smoke from the muzzle of his gun and sneered, "I've done it!"

Longkodo had already released his arrows, but it was too late...

His face turned black as charcoal, and he muttered, "No... This is impossible!"

Everyone around was stunned, and then burst into cheers.

"God bless our Qing Dynasty! With weapons like this on the battlefield, who can stop them?"

"As long as there are enough muskets and ammunition, we will be invincible!"

"So will the Japanese pirates be defeated this year? The expansion of our Qing Dynasty's territory is just around the corner!"

"Oh, apart from anything else, I heard that Japan has silver mines. Doesn't that mean my Ministry of Revenue will have a lot of money?"

......

Everyone's applause was for the winner, and Longkodo's hand holding the bow and arrow was almost deformed.

But in front of everyone, losing is losing, and he can't afford to lose.

Even if he could not be a general in the expedition, he was still the governor of the Nine Gates and a minister of state.

Thinking of this, he smiled generously and patted Fourteen's shoulder: "Old Fourteen, you've made some progress!"

Fourteen listened to his gnashing words, shuddered, and immediately said cleverly, "This is not my credit, it's the Empress who recommended me, and it's the wisdom and bravery of His Majesty!"

This is such a perfect flattery!

Everyone looked at him blankly and knelt down immediately.

"My emperor is wise~~~"

After the competition in the Shenji Camp, the Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan gained a good reputation.

As for Fourteen, he was rewarded with a second-rank military general and could even be made king after returning from the war against Japan.

More importantly, all the people in the Shenji Camp can only be firmly controlled by him.

On the battlefield, his good brother can only bow to him!

Fourteen was imagining the future and almost laughed out loud.

The reputation of Dai Zi's fire gun spread quickly, and everyone who knew Dai Zi knew that he was recommended by the Queen Mother.

Lin Mingyan actually received some letters of recommendation sporadically, from all over the place, and even some self-recommendation letters.

When she finished her harem affairs, she realized that the queen could actually receive such memorials.

"Huh? Isn't this against the rules?" She had never thought that there was such a thing.

Although Dujuan has been in the palace for some time, she still doesn't know much about these things.

However, she specifically inquired about it and found out that the queen was actually good at handling such letters and memorials.

However, there was no long-lived queen in the Kangxi Dynasty, so this channel was basically useless.

Lin Mingyan became interested and asked someone to bring all the memorials and letters over so that she could satisfy her desire to review memorials.

I picked up a book at random and was immediately dazzled by it.

Oh, this official script is so pleasing to the eyes.

Anyone who can become an official must have good handwriting.

Not to mention the memorials handed over to the superiors, which must have been considered for a long time and copied several times.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the handwriting made her first impression much better.

But if you read it carefully, the content of this piece is quite interesting.

This man was an official from Jiangnan. He first introduced himself, and then talked about the latest news in Jiangnan and the fashionable silk fabrics.

In the end, she didn't say what her purpose was. It was just like the pen pals that were popular when she was in school, just chatting.

Lin Mingyan didn't quite understand, so she flipped through something else.

A large part of them were greetings, praising her deeds and expressing loyalty.

The other half is about introducing yourself and some local specialties.

"This makes..." What about choosing a concubine?

Lin Mingyan really didn't understand, but she watched it for fun and it helped her kill an entire afternoon.

When the Fourth Master came back in the evening, he pointed it out to him and said, "Master, what do you think they think?"

"They submit petitions to me, expecting me to ask for a job for them?"

They all passed the imperial examination, so they can't be so stupid, right?

The Fourth Master took the memorial she handed over and laughed: "It's just what you think."

"Ah? I have such great ability?" Lin Mingyan felt that she was really not Daji.

Besides, she is not a brainless person.

Just because someone writes a few letters to her, she'll be given a good future?

Isn't that a big mistake?

The Fourth Master took him in his arms and looked at the memorials: "Look, even though you don't know these people, they've been handed to me, haven't they?"

"This little official from Jiangnan, you even said his writings were humorous and witty. Doesn't that impress me?"

"Just for this?" Lin Mingyan couldn't understand even more.

So what if the Fourth Master took a look?

Even if I remember the official's name, I won't specifically promote him.

The Fourth Master laughed: "Do you know how many greetings like this I receive every day?"

"How many?"

"There were at least dozens, maybe even hundreds of them," the Fourth Master tapped the table with his fingers, "but the ones who were finally chosen to be presented before me were all officials of the third rank or above."

"Look at this guy, from the sixth rank, isn't that his luck?"

Now, Lin Mingyan knew it without the Fourth Master saying anything.

These people just came to ask for a face from her, even if it was just a vague impression, but what if?

What if the Fourth Master mentions this to others? Wouldn’t that give him an advantage during the assessment?

Not to mention that there is Dai Zi in front, which is an example of success.

Lin Mingyan gasped: "Will the memorials here pile up like a mountain in the future?"

Wow, she has really made it big, she has become a powerful queen!
