Li Jie looked solemn, and everyone around him held their breath nervously. As Li Jie pulled the rope back, he heard a "pop".

It was silent, the scene was a bit awkward.

Li Jie also felt a fever on his face, but if there was a problem, it would be solved. So he quickly stepped forward, and several craftsmen also surrounded him. Several people picked up flintlock rifles and discussed it. Finally, they found the problem. So Li Jie added tiny powder to the fire pool again, and then went back and came again.

"Bang~" This time the musket finally rang, and the projectile flew out and hit the earth wall in front, leaving a deep pit.

"Success!" Li Jie slapped his hands excitedly, and the craftsmen around him shouted loudly. Even Li Zhu's eyes were red when he was excited. The success of the flintlock rifle means that Li Jie will receive the attention of Zhu Biao and his future will be limitless.

However, after being excited, Li Jie quickly calmed down and immediately asked the two clerks to take the drawings, and then modified the design of the anvil and gunpowder pool. Because the reason why the first shooting failed just now was because there was something wrong with the design here. Later, he added gunpowder to make the second test shot successful.

After modifying the original design, Li Jie immediately asked the craftsmen to rebuild it. With the experience of the first one, and with just one design change, the others were basically the same as before, so the second musket was built in just five days.

The second flintlock rifle was much better, and there was no silence during shooting. However, Li Jie was still a little dissatisfied because he felt that there were many things that could be improved on the flintlock rifle, but twenty days have passed, so he didn't have time to improve it anymore, so he could only use this gun to hand in the office first.

Early that morning, Li Jie took the flintlock rifle to the Zhanshi Mansion. This was his second time here. However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the imperial city, the flintlock rifle was stopped. Because no weapon could be brought into the imperial city, Li Jie had no choice but to leave two clerks with weapons and went to the Zhanshi Mansion to see Zhu Biao himself.

In Zuochunfang, Zhu Biao was sitting behind the desk and was watching the articles written by his sons himself. In front of him, two twelve or thirteen-year-old children were also sitting there with a nervous look on their faces, looking up at Zhu Biao's face from time to time.

Zhu Biao originally married Chang Yuchun's daughter as the crown princess, but unfortunately, this concubine Chang had a short life and died after only seven years. So Zhu Biao made Lu the successor, and the two children in front of him were the children of Concubine Chang and Concubine Lu.

The one on the left is Zhu Yunwen, the later Emperor Jianwen, and his mother is the current Crown Princess Lu. The one on the right is named Zhu Yunsheng, who was born from the dead Concubine Chang. He originally had an older brother Zhu Xiongying, who was Zhu Biao's eldest son, but unfortunately he died less than eight years old.

"Yun Wen's articles are well written, with a very literary talent and accurate use of allusions. It seems that you have learned well during this period!" After reading the articles of his two sons, Zhu Biao praised Zhu Yunwen immediately.

"Thank you for your father's praise. My child still has many shortcomings and needs to work hard in the future!" Zhu Yunwen was happy to hear his father's praise, but he still said modestly.

After praising Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Biao also turned his gaze to his other son Zhu Yunwen. Although Zhu Yunwen is only one year younger than Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen seemed a little timid compared to Zhu Yunwen, especially after hearing his father praise his brother, he lowered his head and shrank into a ball, and he didn't even dare to look at his father.

Looking at the son left by the deceased wife, Zhu Biao looked quite cold and said: "Yun Hui's article is too plain, and there are a few wrong allusions. I must have been distracted during class and I will learn from your brother in the future!"

Zhu Biao has a generous personality, and is kind to ordinary people, and even cares about his children. However, when facing Zhu Yunxi, he seems quite strict. Zhu Yunxi seems to be very afraid of him. Even if he just criticized him a few simple words, he scared Zhu Yunxi to death.

"Father... my father taught me that the child should be careful... respectful of his teachings!" Zhu Yunxiu stuttered and admitted his mistake.

Looking at Zhu Yunxi's timid look, Zhu Biao felt an unknown fire, and immediately said with a stern expression: "Raise your head, as the emperor grandson, your words and deeds are upright. How can you still look like the emperor grandson now?"

Zhu Biao was angry, and Zhu Yunxiu was even more scared and shrank even harder. Her tears fell down.

But at this moment, a girl in the palace clothes suddenly rushed out from behind the screen, and ran over quickly with her skirt in her hands. Her little face turned red with anger. Her eyes looked straight at Zhu Biao and said angrily: "Dad, stop talking, you are not allowed to bully your third brother!"

I saw this girl at about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was tall, fair-skinned, with an oval face, a very delicate facial features. However, at this time, she protected Zhu Yunxie behind her, staring at Zhu Biao with big eyes full of anger, looking like a little hen protecting her cub.

"Sister!" Zhu Yunxiu also grabbed the corner of the girl's clothes pitifully, and tears couldn't stop flowing out. In his heart, his sister was his guardian.

The girl's eyes turned red when she saw her younger brother's appearance. She reached out and touched Zhu Yunxi's little head and said, "Yunxi doesn't cry. I'm with my sister here. Let's see who dares to bully you!"

"Yunning, you are so chaotic, who asked you to come here?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but furious when he saw the girl. This girl was his eldest daughter and Concubine Chang, and Zhu Yunxi's real sister.

"If I don't come, Yunxiu still doesn't know how much grievance you have suffered. Father, you will know that you are partial!" The girl said without any concession. Her mother died early, leaving only the siblings to depend on each other. However, Zhu Yunxiu was timid and a little cowardly. She usually protected her younger brother.

"Bold!" When Zhu Biao heard his daughter accusing him of being biased, he angrily slapped the table and came to the girl with a quick glance and raised his hand to teach his daughter a lesson. Although he has a good temper, he will not blindly indulge his children, especially in his opinion, his daughter is willful and willful and has no respect for him as a father.

"Don't calm down, don't beat my sister!" However, at this moment, a girl rushed out from behind the screen, hugged Zhu Biao's thigh and begged, "How old is this girl younger, and looks about the same age as Zhu Yunyu.

Zhu Biao was also stunned for a moment when his daughter hugged her thighs, but the girl Yuning did not give in at all. She immediately shouted to the girl holding her father: "My sister let go and let her father beat her. Anyway, my mother is no longer there, anyone can bully us!"
