"Published the official edict, summoned Wanrong Wei to attend Yanfu Palace!"
Although Zhao Ji was misunderstood by the female historian, the emperor was a man of words. Once his words or actions were publicized, wouldn't it be a slap in his face if he changed them again?
What's more, he is still quite curious and wants to meet Wanrong Wei.
Therefore, Zhao Ji acquiesced to letting the female historian announce the decree and summon Wanrong Wei to Yanfu's palace...
In the harem of the Northern Song Dynasty, each concubine had his or her own large or small bedroom. The emperor could naturally go directly to the palace of a certain concubine if he wanted to find someone.
Of course, if the emperor wants to specially summon a certain concubine in his Yanfu palace, he only needs to ask the female historian to summon the concubine, and the selected concubine will naturally come happily.
The sleeping system in the palace of the Northern Song Dynasty is definitely not like the Qing Dynasty that the time traveler Zhao Ji knew when he was studying history.
When the concubines of the Qing Dynasty slept in bed, they were not allowed to wear anything and had to be naked. The palace maids would wrap them up in quilts, and then the strong eunuchs would carry them to the emperor's palace.
This was mainly done to prevent the emperor from being assassinated in the Qing Dynasty; of course it was also very trouble-free! In the Qing Dynasty, if the emperor stayed in business for a long time, the eunuch would remind and urge outside the door: "Long live, take care of your dragon body..."
”
Zhao Ji knows that in the harem of the Northern Song Dynasty, there is no palace system that restricts human nature like the Qing Dynasty. You can be more casual...
While Zhao Ji was waiting, combined with the memory of the original owner, he was very vague about the appearance of Wei Wanrong who was about to be summoned. The more impressive impression was that the son she gave birth to was the ninth among the princes, named Zhao Gou. p>
Zhao Ji lamented that the original owner, Song Huizong, had so many women that he could not remember clearly the appearance of Wei Wanrong, who had the prince.
It’s no wonder that Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, used the method of “looking for luck on a sheep cart” to choose the concubines he would be blessed with every day.
"Ahem..." Zhao Ji stopped his thoughts.
If it comes to playing romantic tricks, the time traveler Zhao Ji will never lose to Emperor Wu of Jin. With his later network experience, he can come up with all kinds of tricks...
However, he does not have the capital now to imitate the debauchery of Emperor Wu of Jin.
According to the development of history, in another seven years, I and all the women in the palace, including the queen, concubines, maids, emperors (princesses), and all the princes except the ninth prince Zhao Gou who luckily went out and did not return.
, craftsmen, totaling tens of thousands, will be plundered by the Jin soldiers to the bitter cold land of the Northeast, and will be humiliated...
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji vowed that he would never be a fool again.
Although, there are many treacherous ministers around me, the official Zhao family,
However, fortunately, our ancestors set up the "two government offices and three divisions" system, split the power of the prime minister, suppressed the military power of generals, and a series of other tricks, which eliminated the lack of powerful ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty.
What is a powerful minister? Those who hold military and political power and can overthrow the dynasty, such as Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Zhao Kuangyin...
Zhao Ji knew that now that he had the imperial power, no one among the civil servants and generals could shake his throne. The biggest enemy of the Northern Song Dynasty was just the rising Jin Kingdom.
If, after the Jin destroys the Liao, the Jin Kingdom's wings will become even more plump, and then it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty to deal with it.
What to do?
Only, strike first to gain the upper hand...
My Song Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles. How dare I dare to think of attacking the Jin Kingdom first?
If Ren Xianchen and Yuan Xiaoren changed the status quo of emphasizing civility over military affairs, would they be completely sure to counterattack and destroy the Jin Kingdom, which had a strong army and a prosperous national destiny?
Just relying on swords against swords and arrows against arrows should not be completely sure, right?!
What to do?
What if we could use modern hot weapons such as muskets and cannons to defeat the Jin army with their fast horses and scimitars?
In this way, the winning rate will obviously be greater?!
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji planned to try to develop thermal weapons and muskets in the Song Dynasty, and then develop artillery...
However, I, a time traveler, used to be a top student in liberal arts and history, but I was a scumbag in science and engineering!
However,
Zhao Ji, a time traveler who was once the top student in the history department of the university, naturally knows that history books record:
In this year of the Song Dynasty, the second year of Xuanhe, AD 1120, a certain Chinese in the Northern Song Dynasty invented a weapon called the "Sudden Fire Gun", which was the world's first musket.
It is a pity that the inventor of this sudden musket did not leave his name in the history books. There are many such examples, such as who was the inventor of gunpowder? What is recorded in the history books only says: The alchemist or Taoist priest accidentally discovered the invention while refining alchemy.
Gunpowder...
Zhao Ji knew from history books that the newly invented "fire gun" had a gun body made of a thick bamboo tube; the expanded part in the middle was the powder chamber, and there was an ignition hole on the outer wall; the rear part was a hand-held
of wooden sticks.
When firing a "fire gun", you hold a wooden stick against the ground, hold the bamboo pipe with your left hand, and light the fire with your right hand. It makes a loud noise and shoots out stones or projectiles, which is very similar to the fireworks in modern society.
Its power was far less powerful than that of bows and arrows, and it was not taken seriously by the officials at that time.
Zhao Ji thought that he could call the man who invented the musket.
With this clever inventor, if I give him some guidance using the theoretical knowledge I learned in the history of modern firearms, I am very likely to be able to create a batch of truly powerful guns, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji felt that the plan of inventing artillery instead of modifying the musket was very good when the virtuous concubine of Longde Palace came to bed.
Zhao Ji immediately ordered Liang Shicheng to say: "Draw up a decree for me!"
"I obey the decree." Liang Shicheng hurriedly picked up the pen. He really couldn't understand why Zhao Guan's family issued so many imperial decrees tonight?
Zhao Ji thought deeply for a while and felt that it would be better to convey this will in ancient Chinese.
Zhao Jidao: "Publish my decree and look for those who can make muskets. Come to me and be granted an official title and gold!"
Liang Shicheng listened to Zhao Ji's oral instructions and started writing quickly on the imperial edict. He was very puzzled about what the "sudden fire gun" that Zhao Guanjia said was?
Although he didn’t understand, he didn’t ask.
Zhao Ji added: "Those who attack the gun use giant bamboo as a tube and place a nest inside it. It will burn like a flame and then the nest will make a sound like a cannon, which can be heard from a distance of more than 150 steps."
Liang Shicheng, according to the order of Zhao Guanjia, wrote the above-mentioned explanation of the tug-of-war gun on the imperial edict.
At this time, Liang Shicheng felt that the Zhao Guan family in front of him was really the original Zhao Guan family!
It seems that he doesn’t like Hua Shizang and prefers "Sudden Fire Gun"!
He thought to himself: Isn’t the musket that Zhao Guan’s family is looking for more fun, better-looking, and louder fireworks?
Finally, Zhao Ji added: "This decree has been spread to the prefectures and counties..."
"Obey!" Liang Shicheng held the imperial edict and stepped back to arrange for his eunuchs to deliver the edict.
……
At this time, outside the door of Yanfu's palace, the 'female history' who was responsible for arranging the bedside work loudly said:
