The Favoured Medical Princess
Chapter 230-On the Crossbow
An understatement in the official Chinese language made Han Lingfu's entire face gloomy, and he almost turned his face.After all, he remembered his image of being as gentle as jade, and he just suppressed it.
Even the emperor's face was dull, his eyes dark and unpredictable.
The surrounding ministers of culture and martial arts are silent, and some ministers have secretly shook their heads.I don't know whether they are emotional or admired: everyone knows that the emperor is in high spirits because of this new crossbow. It can also rub a little grace for this, which is really different from the rest.
Some people also saw irony in their eyes, thinking: the style of Mandarin Bai, which is good to say, is straightforward; if it is not good to say, it is the elm head, it will not be a person, and it is no wonder that the official family will end like this...
Probably as long as the first and second princes hide their faces, but they dare not show too obvious.
"An Yihou, talk to me carefully." The emperor said in a deep voice.
"Go back to the emperor," the official man Bai responded unhurriedly, "Emperor, although this crossbow can send twelve arrows at a time, but the twelve arrows have a problem that cannot be ignored, it is its accuracy." He After a pause, he explained, "Fang Caichen and Wei Yanghou each sent twelve arrows, but each time they hit the arrow target less than half."
When I tried the crossbow before, the twelve iron arrows flew out, almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. Finally, I only noticed that there were several iron arrows inserted on the arrow target, but I did not count them and hit the target. How many are there?
Guan Yubai said this, and when everyone counted down, they found that it was indeed the case.
The emperor's thoughts were not immediately expressed.
Han Lingfu was secretly relieved, he thought what the official language Bai said, if this is the problem, he and Cui Wei had already discovered.He smiled sarcastically in his heart, and the official language just said bluntly about "gadgets", which was clearly in favor of the crowd. At this moment, it seems that this little official general who was once so pretentious was so.
"Father Emperor," Han Lingfu stepped up the first half of the walk, "please listen to your son."
The ministers saw that he had a good heart and knew that he might be watching a good show today.
"Three emperors, you say it." The emperor naturally agreed.
Han Lingfu raised his head and raised his chest, saying: "Father Emperor, in fact, the accuracy of the children has also been discovered. In addition, the children have also found that these twelve arrows burst, and the interval between each arrow is also somewhat uneven. Slow..."
Han Lingfu looked at the official language calmly, and his eyes seemed to be saying, he simply said the shortcomings of this crossbow, and see what thorns you can pick!
Guan Bai looked back calmly, and there was still a slight smile on his lips, and he was not different from Han Lingfu's provocation.
Han Lingfu couldn't help but feel sulky for a while, but continued to say: "Father Emperor, according to his sons, these defects seem to be a problem, but in fact it is not a problem," he said confidently, "If today is Children and An Yihou one-on-one, or several people against each other, the problem just mentioned will also become the key to victory or defeat, but now this crossbow is to get a hand on the battlefield, allowing thousands of people, Even tens of thousands of people use it. By then, tens of thousands of arrows will fire at once. Who can escape from the sky's arrow feathers?"
It is said that Weiyanghou also nodded, "The emperor and the servants thought that the three princes said well, that intensive tactics can indeed cover up the problem of insufficient accuracy of the crossbow."
The emperor pondered and asked the official language indifferently, "An Yihou, besides this, what is wrong with this crossbow?"
The official language Bai Yun replied calmly: "The question of accuracy is one of them, and the second one involves military supplies. This crossbow uses iron arrows as arrows, and the cost is very high. Even if it does not cost, it still needs a lot of iron ore. For backup support, if you want to send tens of thousands of iron arrows together, you need to prepare hundreds of thousands, or even millions of iron arrows, so such a large amount of distribution, I am afraid it is difficult."
This conventional feather arrow uses iron as the arrow and wood as the arrow body, and the cost is naturally much cheaper than pure iron arrow.
The ministers whispered to each other's ears, and they also felt that the Mandarin was very reasonable.According to Han Lingfu's plan, this was not a battle with Chang Di, but burning money!
No one thought that Han Lingfu was still looking normal and calm.
Han Lingfu's mouth was slightly hooked, and the problems mentioned by Guanyu Bai were as long as they expected. He looked at Guanyu Bai with a smile, and then said: "Father Emperor, this large amount of iron vector manufacturing is indeed very valuable. Therefore, the son-in-law is willing to hand over the twenty-two thousand silver that the father emperor allocated to the court of the son-in-law to the royal court to fill the military and help me defeat the Changdi!
As for this iron ore, Guan Bai may not know it, but Han Lingfu knows that Dayu is not short of iron ore.Just a month ago, Jingzhou just discovered two new iron ore, and this iron ore and other All mineral rights must be nationalized, which means that the emperor Pingbai has two more minerals.
Although this iron arrow does consume two silvers, Dayu still can afford to deal with a long Di.
Han Lingfu's ferocious words attracted the attention of many ministers.The three princes are really for the country and the people.Even if they have not yet won the king and have no food, they will not hesitate to take out their own Kaifu silver!
The moods of the first prince and the second prince almost followed the dialogue between Guanyu Bai and Han Lingfu. At this moment, his face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.The three princes took out 200,000 silver for the father and emperor of the country.If they don't do anything, does it mean that there is no country and no emperor in their hearts?
Even if they are now willing to offer silver to the military pay, it is only a passive response. I am afraid that the father and emperor will not remember their good, which means that the filial son has let the three princes go.
The emperor nodded slightly with satisfaction, and laughed: "Okay! Three emperors, you have the heart." Then he praised the mandarin sentence, "An Yi Hou is also considerate!" The most feared thing about this march is the supply of military supplies. Not on.
Han Lingfu was secretly happy and said sincerely on the face: "This is what the son should do." He asked Guan Yubai with a smile, and the temperature was gentle but his eyes could not hide the meaning of provocation. "An Yihou, I don't know if you still have Third?"
The smell of gunpowder in his words was naturally concealed by smart people, but no one thought that the official language Bai nodded and said gently: "There are three."
Han Lingfu's face almost froze, but he could only say: "Please also enlighten An Yihou!"
The official Mandarin Bai compared a finger and slowly said: "Please ask the emperor to give the emperor some incense time."
After the emperor answered, there was a waiter to prepare some incense.
Then, the official Bai said: "I also asked the emperor to arrange a guard of the Imperial Forest Army to test this crossbow with the limit of a joss stick."
What kind of medicine is sold in the official Chinese white gourd? Han Lingfu felt a little uneasy in his heart. He made a wink, and a minister jumped out immediately, saying: "An Yihou, what do you do in front of the emperor?"
The official language Bai said unmovedly: "Is the emperor, whether it is a mystery, just give the minister a scent of incense, it can be seen clearly."
The emperor looked at the official Chinese language for a moment and said, "Okay, I believe you once."
Everyone stared at the official language Bai, and did not understand what the intention of this incense stick was.
Soon, a guard of the Yulin Army stepped forward and obeyed the mandarin language, and instructed him to take the crossbow and shoot arrows repeatedly until the incense sticks stopped.
that's it!?
It was not only the guard of the Imperial Forest who could not believe his ears, but also the others around him who were shocked and looked at each other.
The guard of the Imperial Forest Army confirmed with Mandarin Bai again, and then ordered to shoot.
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo..."
Tieya shoots again and again, each arrow is lightning fast, and at first it may be a little fresh, but soon this monotonous to almost boring scene makes everyone feel tired.
Liu Gonggong whispered in the emperor's ear and suggested: "Emperor, why not wait in the palace?"
The emperor's brow moved, and hesitating, he saw Weiyang Hou Gongshou said: "Please also ask the Emperor En Zhunweiwei to supervise here!"
The emperor glanced at less than a third of the incense, and he nodded.
Now that the emperor entered the Taihe Temple, everyone else went into the palace with great force, including Mandarin.
Seeing that Mandarin Bai didn't even plan to stay outside the hall to wait for the result of the crossbow test, although Han Lingfu had some ups and downs in his heart, he had to follow everyone into the Taihe Hall.
According to the process of the birthday banquet, the next is that the five princes, the six princes, and other clan princes continue to offer birthday ceremonies to the emperor, but at this moment the emperor is obviously absent-minded, and his speech is faint.
Not only the emperor, everyone is also thinking about what happened just now, speculating on what tricks the official language Bai is playing, so in the next time, I saw a glance at the official language Bai from time to time, but instead it was the official language Bai is actually the most calm and calm one of them. As if this matter had nothing to do with him at all, he tastes wine and eats elegantly.
Guan Bai is so calm, Han Lingfu can't lose to him naturally, and he tries hard to talk and laugh, but he has always been thinking that this time should not be worse... He glanced outside the temple without a trace.
At this time, a slightly messy footsteps came from the direction of the door of the hall. Weiyang Hou strode into the hall and attracted all the eyes at once, only to see that he frowned slightly, his lips tightened into a straight line, one side While walking, he glanced blankly at the official language, which was really indescribable and complicated, but it made Han Lingfu sink in his heart.
Could it be that……
Han Lingfu almost dared not think about it, and said to himself, impossible! He and Cui Wei should have considered all the problems.
"Emperor Xuan," Wei Yanghou bowed and bowed, saying, "That crossbow is broken!" If he had not seen it with his own eyes at the scene, even he could not believe it, the crossbow had broken up!
This sentence shocked the whole house, looked at each other quietly.
Han Lingfu stood up gaily and blurted out: "How is this possible?!"
Weiyanghou's face changed slightly, and he was displeased with the three princes questioning him.Since he was in charge of the emperor and inspected the crossbow, he naturally did not dare to be slack, and his eyes never left from beginning to end.Even he hasn't figured it out yet, what the hell is going on.
At this time, the guard of the Yulin Army who just tried the crossbow also hurried in, holding a large wooden tray in hand, which placed the crossbow presented by Han Lingfu, but at this moment its crossbow arm, crossbow and crossbow machine had been dispersed. Come, and there was a deep red mark on the bodyguard's face, which seemed to be hit by the scattered parts.
Han Lingfu's hand was clenched into a fist on the side of the body, trembling slightly, and his heart was entangled by an idea: impossible! impossible...
He couldn't help looking at the official language in vain, and saw the other party drinking the wine in the glass slightly, as if all this was what he expected.Han Lingfu was surprised and suspicious in his heart. Does Mandarin Bai really have the ability to foresee, or is he bold enough to dare to move under the eyes of the father emperor?
At this time, the inner attendant had presented the tray to the emperor. The emperor looked closer and his face fell, and asked, "Wei Yanghou, what is going on?"
Weiyang Hou hurriedly replied: "Returning to the Emperor, Weichen is also puzzled. Just when the pillar of incense is about to burn, the crossbow suddenly disappeared..." As he said, he couldn't help but read the official language again. Bai Yi glanced, "Maybe An Yi Hou can solve the suspicion of Wei Chen." This An Yi Hou is really terrible! He had also heard the rumor of his "countless policy", but he just laughed as a rumor. Thinking of this rumor, it is far worse than a real person!
The emperor's gaze also turned to Guanyu Bai, and his gaze asked, "An Yihou, did you know this would have happened?"
This question is probably also a common question in the hearts of everyone in the temple.
Guan Yubai stood up and replied calmly: "Returning to the emperor, the subjects are mortals, and naturally there is no predictable power. Only with the experience of the subjects, this crossbow is really sloppy in the design of the crossbow arms and crossbows. Although it can be He barely fired the twelve arrows, but because of the unstable structure of the crossbow body, he received a shock every time he fired. Fang Caichen had vaguely felt that the crossbow body was overpowered and the crossbow arm was shaking violently during the test. I'm afraid it's hard to last..." He raised his lips slightly, and said calmly, "Although this crossbow is difficult to use in the battlefield, but it does make some sense, it can be used to play around in idle time."
The emperor was originally provoked by the blood of this crossbow, thinking that he would equip the army of Dayu with this kind of crossbow, thinking that this time it can win Changdi, even with this new weapon against the Quartet. Barbarians play a deterrent role.
Therefore, when the official Bai said that this crossbow is expensive, the emperor did not take it seriously, and the expensive benefits are equal to those barbarians who even get the crossbow to try to imitate, then they cannot equip their soldiers in large quantities.
But I don't want to, this is just a sweet dream!
If it wasn't for Mandarin Bai who discovered this fatal flaw, once he spent a lot of military resources to make the crossbow out and sent it to the battlefield, the fighting side started up here, and the crossbow in the hands of the soldiers there scattered all over the ground. It became a big joke!
As the saying goes, "The higher the climb, the heavier the fall", while the emperor's heart is cold, the look at Han Lingfu becomes cold, and he feels that the three emperors are too unreliable to do things, it is simply in his life At the banquet, let Manchao read jokes up and down!
"Father Emperor..." Han Lingfu knew that this time he was really going to fall in the emperor's heart. His heart was as cold as ice, but he could only calm himself down, saying, "This crossbow has just been developed and there are some problems, but its power The father emperor also saw it, and the children believe that as long as they improve it again, they can definitely..."
"Then wait for you to improve and talk about it!" The emperor interrupted Han Lingfu coldly.
Han Lingfu stopped talking, and finally sat down sullenly, hating in his heart: This Cui Wei's work is too unreliable, and even such a big mistake has caused him to lose face in front of so many people!
The more he wanted, the more angry he was, and even the future concubine Cui Yanyan was somewhat angry.
The great prince and the second prince exchanged glances secretly, they were both gloating.
The second prince had a thought in his mind: even if his official language is weak now, he can no longer go to the battlefield, but it is indeed a talented person.This time, Guan Yubai had obviously offended the three emperors, wouldn't that be a great opportunity to envelop him? Thinking of this, his eyes turned to Guan Yubai.
The birthday banquet continued, but this time, the original cheerful atmosphere was even more unlikely to be restored.
The emperor lost his interest, and since then he has been somewhat dissatisfied. After about half an hour, the birthday banquet of the Taihe Temple was gone.
However, this day is not over. The banquet for the minister's birthday is now closed.The next birthday banquet in the harem is just beginning.The second can be said to be a family banquet.There are only a few emperors of the emperor and some relatives of the emperor. And concubines and princesses in the harem can participate.
Therefore, after the birthday banquet of the Taihe Temple, the Su family left the palace and returned to the Nangong Mansion. Only the Nangong Yue was left by the queen to attend the family banquet.
Several maidens led the way, and a group of ladies and girls gathered together in twos and threes, and walked slowly.
Fu Yunyan came to Nangong Yue with a smile: "Ayue, let's sit down at a table later."
Seeing her alone, Nangong Yue looked around and asked, "Liu Niang, what about Yongyang grandmother?"
"My grandmother said she was tired, so she went back to the house first." Fu Yunyan said first, seeing Nangong Yue's face sorrowful, and lowering her voice to Nangong Yue's ear, "Grandmother wanted to talk to An Yihou, so she used the excuse to leave first. Now."
Nangong Yue was stunned, and heard Fu Yunyan sigh again: "Ayue, the person I admire most in the past is the general Guan Xiao. At a young age, she can fight in the battlefield and countless merits!" She seemed to think of something, small His face was dull, and he laughed again, "I have regretted it for him...it seems to me today why he needs my regret!"
The official language white is the same as the official language white. Even if it encounters the disaster of destroying the door, it is still like a cluster of green bamboos in the snow. No one can crush it! This person is too unpredictable, as if he should be standing in a high place by nature. People can't reach...
In the discourse, they have been led to the big stage. The stage has already been properly arranged, and the lanterns are colored. The red, green and green pieces appear to be very bright, and the troupe is standing by on the side.
In front of the stage, a set of tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and most of the seats are now empty.
The leading lady said that the birthday banquet would not start until half an hour.
Fu Yunyan was about to propose to go elsewhere, but he heard a familiar anger from behind: "Give me a hand!"
He heard a crisp slap in the face, and Nangong Yue frowned, and after looking at it, she saw a slender figure covered in a veil. It was the second princess.
She was also standing next to a 14-year-old girl with a beautiful face and gentle and obedient eyes.She was wearing an emerald green dress with a lively Shuangfeiyan embroidered on the skirt, just a small beach of faint tea stains at the moment Wet her skirt.
A court lady knelt down and begged for mercy: "Slaughter slave, beg your highness and Cui girl for forgiveness!"
"Your Highness, forget it." The girl in green clothes persuaded her warmly, looking dignified and Xuanshu, "Today is Sheng Sheng, it would be bad if you were alarming the emperor." After a pause, she sighed again, "This The dress was given by the concubine Zhang. I only hope the concubine doesn’t blame me.”
The second princess snorted coldly and shook her sleeves: "Since Ms. Cui pleads for you, this palace will bypass you, a slave with no long eyes!"
This girl should be... Nangong Yue's eyes flashed.
Fu Yunyan whispered in her ear: "That's General Cui's girl." That is the future three princesses.
Originally, this girl Cui had no relationship with Nangong Yue, but there was an uneasy cousin in Nangong Yue who wanted to enter the concubine of the Three Princes. The three princes visit their cousin, that is, someone is negligent, and it is understandable.
Nangong Yue saw Fu Yunyan's thoughts, but she smiled and didn't take it seriously.Others may not know, but she knows that this girl Cui is kind and ruthless. She was protected by Mrs. Cui when she was in the boudoir, so she did not leak water, but after this girl Cui married in the previous life, her husband’s house was burst out. There are a lot of sensational things... It seems that it is indeed better to meet today. This Cui girl is quite good at leveraging her strength to let others make a black face. I don’t know that the future three princesses will meet Who is better at Bai Muxiao!
Nangong Yue was thinking about whether to avoid it. The sharp eyes of the second princess had been shot, and she smiled and said: "Isn't this the Master of Shaking Light?" Her malicious eyes seemed to be saying, even before Feng Luan How about having a queen in the palace to help you, can you still hide for a lifetime?
Now that they were all provoked in person, Nangong Yue simply walked over with Fu Yunyan generously and saluted: "Have seen Her Royal Highness II."
Then Cui Yanyan also saluted Nangong Yue: "I have seen the master."
After the three met the ceremony, the second princess stared at Nangong Yue and said: "The Lord, this person's encounter is really interesting! This time, Ms. Cui also bowed her head to the Lord, but the next time, she had to turn it over. Now! Life is really fast-changing, and the triumph at this moment does not represent a lifetime, the lord, do you say that?"
The second princess is right. Now Cui Yanyan has no grades and no grades, so seeing the master of Nangong Yue needs blessings, but after Cui Yanyan marries the third prince in the future and becomes the righteous concubine of the third prince, then Nangong Yue will treat Cui Yanyan. Salute.
The second princess smiled sarcastically, and the guide Guiyue was really uninteresting.Originally, she kindly wanted to promote her to become her three princesses, but she was not ignorant, and she kept her Ayi!
Nangong Yue nodded indifferently and said: "Your Highness said, the triumph at this time does not represent a lifetime." In the previous life, did you have fully proved this.
Seeing that Nangong Yue didn't care, the second princess felt a little bored, thinking of another thing that Princess Zhang told herself, and thought bitterly in her heart: Although the father and emperor haven't made up his mind... but I am afraid that there will be this Nangong Yue in the future. When crying! It’s good to watch yourself!
Cui Yanyan grinned sternly and suddenly asked, "Does the lord have a cousin's surname Bai?"
Fu Yunyan frowned, and at this time, a shout from the inner attendant came: "The emperor is here! The queen mother, the empress is here!"
Everyone looked straight and bowed their knees to salute.
The emperor asked them to get up and take a seat with a smile, Fu Yunyan took Nangong Yue to the seat in the corner, and whispered to Nangong Yue: "Ayue, this girl Cui does not seem to be as good as the rumored temperament, you still need to be careful in the future ."
Liu Niang was keen.Nangong Yue looked at her with a smile and said: "It's okay, I can't afford it or can't I hide it?"
The two little girls smiled at each other, and everyone sat down.
The emperor took the queen and the queen mother to sit at a table in the middle, concubines Zhang and Liu Fei and other high-ranking concubines sat at a table, and a few princesses sat at a table... Soon, they sat full.
The emperor quickly ordered a play, and the stage was sung lively, the gongs and drums clamored, and a few heavy make-up plays came out.
The atmosphere became active at once, and when it was wonderful, everyone on the stage applauded and applauded. The emperor burst into laughter from time to time, letting others relax.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and this sang to the second out. A little inner servant suddenly ran out of breath and knelt before the emperor.
"See... see the emperor!" Xiao Naiwai respectfully offered a discount, "There are three thousand miles of urgent discount!"
Three thousand miles urgent? That must be a major event that shocked the court!
Is it related to Chang Di again?
Most of the people present were so suspicious in their hearts that they muttered together and looked up at the emperor.
Grandma Gui, beside the queen, made a wink at the stage, and the actors immediately stopped in a funny way, and the surrounding became silent.
Liu Gonggong took the fold from the young inner paternity, and handed it to the emperor. When the emperor opened the fold, he read a line of words, and his face suddenly changed... By the time he finished closing the fold, his face was as dark as a cloud cover. At the top, he stood up abruptly and strode away.
Grandpa Liu hurriedly followed, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Everyone looked at each other, and from the emperor's face, it was definitely not a good thing.Is it true that the North Front Army has really lost?
The protagonist of this birthday feast is gone, and the queen naturally has no intention to continue, so she hurries away.
By the time Nangong Yue returned to Fuzhong, the evening glow had become red to the west.
Nangong Yue went to please the Su Family. When Su saw her, she couldn't hide her surprise. "Sister Yue, why did you come back so quickly?" As a matter of fact, this emperor's family banquet must be completed after dinner. Divided.
Nangong Yue still had time to explain one or two in the future, and a little lady hurriedly reported that the decree had arrived!
Naturally this priority was given priority. Su's family and Nangong Yue immediately rushed to the second gate. When they arrived, Lin's, Nangong Xin, and others from the other rooms also arrived.
Grandpa Liu and Nangong Yue are already very familiar. When the case of Xiang Xiang is opened, he smiles and said: "Sovereign, since the people are here, our family is ready to declare the purpose."
"There's Grandpa Liu."
Everyone in the Nangong Palace knelt down to take orders.
Liu Gonggong dragged his long note on the imperial edict: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict..."
His sharp voice almost resounded throughout the Nangong Mansion, and everyone was ignorant of the will. The emperor actually asked Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi to get married after ten days, and then round the house after being married...
What the hell is going on?! Nangong Yue just went to the palace to attend a birthday feast. The emperor inexplicably advanced her and Xiao Yi's marriage by two years, and it was justified that the woman and her later marriage were justified. Nangong Yue was just full. 13 years old!
Everyone gave Liu Gonggong an uneasy mind, and invariably turned his attention to Nangong Yue.
"Sister Yue..." Lin's heart was full of reluctance. She was just beginning to prepare her daughter's dowry. Why should the daughter get married? There are so many things not prepared! She is such a daughter, so willing Get married in a hurry! Lin's heart could not help but feel that the emperor's work was too ridiculous.
Nangong Lin's eyes flickered and asked curiously: "Three sisters, why did the emperor suddenly want you to be married to Shizi, this time is too anxious, what's going on?" The reason for being inhuman!?
Nangong Yue's eyes moved slightly, and she remembered the three thousand-mile expedited fold. It seems that the contents of this fold should be related to southern Xinjiang.
Nangong Yue only felt that the decree in his hand was a little heavy. Since the emperor gave this decree, Xiao Yi must have left soon...
Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, when things really fell, Nangong Yue's heart was still like a big stone.Xiao Yi's trip to South Xinjiang can be said to be internally and externally troubled, and the crisis is so heavy that how can she not be worried.
She could not help looking up at the gradually darkening sky, and now I am afraid that Xiao Yi has also received the imperial edict.
At this time, in the royal palace of Zhennan, Xiao Yi was kneeling in the main hall and listening to a grandfather of Li Gong read the decree:
"Fengtian carries the prince, the emperor's edict said that Xiao Yi, the king of Zhennan, and the master of Yaoguang County were married on the eighth day of September, waiting for the master of Yaoguang and the round house of Xiaoguang. South Xinjiang, temporarily take over the affairs of South Xinjiang to fight against the southern barbarians!"
"Chen Zunzhi!"
Xiao Yi bowed his head to take the imperial edict, calm on the surface, but choppy in his heart.
This day has finally arrived!
