"It's all my fault. If my husband didn't worry about my concubine, how could he put down the whole army and rush back to Chang'an city." Princess Changle said with a guilty face in the Mo house.
Merton shook his head and said, "it has nothing to do with you. I promised to come back before you gave birth. Unexpectedly, there was an accident of Tubo ambush. Since ancient times, my family and country have been in a dilemma. I'm lucky that I can not only lead the firearms prison to win and return to Datang safely, but also rush back to Chang'an City in time."
"No, my husband has been punished because of my concubine. I'll go and plead with my father." Changle suddenly got up and said firmly on his face.
Merton quickly grabbed her and said with a bitter smile: "however, it is a taboo in the art of war to leave the army for the general. If you are wrong, you are wrong. You should be punished. Besides, my husband has just been running for more than half a year. Now his majesty has relieved me of my official post and takes the opportunity to accompany you."
Princess Changle stopped and said coldly, "don't give a sacrifice to the firearm supervisor, so as not to go to the battlefield again in the future and make my concubine worry day and night."
In Princess Changle's opinion, the firearms warden's sacrifice is a military duty. I don't know when I will be sent to the battlefield. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. I'm afraid I won't be so lucky in case of another crisis such as Tubo ambush the firearms warden. Don't forget this military duty.
However, Princess Changle didn't know that in her opinion, the dangerous military duty was a great opportunity to prosper in the eyes of many people. It was the most powerful firearms supervisor in the world. Who wanted to command this thousand person army and control the gunpowder, and the military achievements in the future would not be readily available.
For a while, there was an endless stream of literary ministers and military generals who wanted to seek the position of firearms supervisor and wine sacrifice, which annoyed Li Shimin.
"Yu Zhining is bad for me." Li Shimin looked at the memorials piled up in front of him and said with hatred.
"Why did your majesty say that?" empress Chang Sun said softly. Although it was gratifying for them to come back thousands of miles to be parents when Princess Changle was about to give birth, from the perspective of military law, Mozi really left the soldiers and violated the military law, otherwise she would have pleaded for Merton.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I'm not accusing Yu Zhining of Yan's direct admonition, but Yu Zhining, although it's reasonable, let Merton, a slippery catfish escape."
"Catfish? That's my son-in-law!" the eldest grandson empress whitened Li Shimin's eyes.
Li Shimin smiled awkwardly: "The reason why I trapped Merton in officialdom is based on the catfish effect, just as I threw him into the Imperial College. Guanyin maidservant, have you ever found that Merton took charge of the Mohist School in recent years, the whole Mohist school has developed rapidly. Although it has provoked a hundred schools of thought to contend and go hand in hand, it is obvious that the development speed of Mohist school is much faster than the other hundred schools. If I don't trap Merton in officialdom, Mohist school is no longer a troublemaker The catfish stirred the rain, but grew into a whale that ate everything. "
He managed to bring Mohist School into officialdom and stabilize the pattern of a hundred schools. Now that Merton is dismissed, he will certainly try his best to run Mohist village. I'm afraid the situation of a hundred schools of thought contending will soon become a dominant one, which is not what Li Shimin wants to see.
"Then let officer Morton return to his original post!" the eldest grandson frowned.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "it's late. Merton pleaded guilty in the court. The court ministers heard it with their own ears. If they don't punish, I'm afraid they won't accept it."
"For the sake of the present, first find a stable person to temporarily take the post of firearms supervisor and wine sacrifice." empress Chang sun thought.
Li Shimin shook his head slightly. Gunpowder is the biggest secret of the Tang Dynasty. If more people know it, there will be more possibility of leakage. Moreover, if you want to be proficient in gunpowder, I'm afraid it must be Mohist, and it won't help to change others.
"Your Majesty, don't pay attention to these troubles. I have a happy event to discuss with your majesty. Today, Wuji went to the palace to visit the palace and talked about the marriage between Chong'er and Gao Yang!" the eldest Sun Queen's voice changed.
Li Shimin sighed a little: "it's hard to be Chong'er these years. They've been waiting for so many years. Now Gaoyang is sixteen. It's time for them to get married."
"In that case, the concubine replied to my brother and let the bitter mandarin ducks get married at the end of the year!" the eldest Sun Queen said with a smile.
Li Shimin nodded and agreed, "it's up to you. We must do it."
Empress Chang sun nodded, and then walked away.
After empress Chang Sun left, Li Shimin took out one of the memorials piled up in front of him. This is a memorial recommending the new firearm supervisor to sacrifice wine, but the recommended candidate is Chang sun Chong.
In the eyes of the royal family, it was naturally Princess Changle who suffered the most damage to her reputation. However, in fact, there was another victim, Chang sun Chong.
Although the royal family, in order to compensate Chang sun Chong, ignored the wave of voluntariness of both parties and forcibly pointed out that Chang sun Chong and Princess Gaoyang were still wronged.
Now, although this memorial is played by other officials, Li Shimin understands that it must be inspired by Chang sun Wuji. While asking empress Chang sun to say about the marriage between Chang sun Chong and Princess Gaoyang, Chang sun Wuji asks people to write a memorial to seek an official position for Chang sun Chong, just to seek a future for Chang sun Chong. Obviously, firearms have been imprisoned in Chang sun Chong's eyes.
Moreover, Chang sun Chong and the Mo family are similar in age. They are also five grade officials with promising prospects. They are also Royal relatives and relatives. They are deeply trusted by Li Shimin and are the best candidate to replace Merton anyway.
"I'll compensate you this time. I hope you won't live up to my expectations." Li Shimin thought for a long time and waved a big hand on the memorial.
However, Li Shimin did not hand over all the firearms supervision to Chang sun Chong, but divided the firearms supervision into firearms supervision and firearms army. The firearms supervision was responsible for continuing to develop gunpowder weapons, and the famous firearms army was handed over to Chang sun Chong.
Soon, the news that the firearm prison was divided into two, Chang sun Chong got the firearm army, which came from the government and the public. Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.
"After thinking about it, I'm afraid Chang sun Chong is indeed the best candidate." many people nodded. Few people in the Tang Dynasty can compare with Mohist Zi, and Chang sun Chong's qualifications and status are rare.
"Your Majesty divided the firearm prison into two, and Chang sun Chong got the firearm army, and I'm afraid the position of firearm supervisor for offering wine is still reserved for the Mohist son." another official analyzed.
"It's a pity that no matter how well mojiazi's sacrificial wine is made, he can only make wedding clothes for Chang sun Chong." a literary minister sighed.
"Chang sun Chong is a civil servant, so he can't lead soldiers to fight." many generals complained that the firearms army is the most powerful army and should belong to the military, but it fell into the hands of civil servants.
"The Mohists didn't practice martial arts, and they didn't lead the firearms prison to become famous all over the world." Wen Chen supported Chang sun Chong one after another.
A military general Leng hum said, "how can it be compared? The son of Mohism was born in Mohism. Adhering to Mohist attack is a unique skill of Mohism. As for Chang sun Chong, it's not necessarily."
Wen Chen said carelessly, "so what? With gunpowder, who is the enemy in the world."
All of a sudden, everyone's breath stagnated. In the first World War of the western expedition, gunpowder was brilliant. Even the Mohist who did not know the martial arts could lead the firearm supervisor to defeat 5000 Tubo cavalry. With the emergence of gunpowder, even those who had no strength to bind chickens could ignite gunpowder. Personal bravery is no longer the factor determining the war, and the glory of generals is coming to an end.
