Chapter 925

Han lingfu's whole face was gloomy with an understatement from the official language, and he was about to turn over. At last he remembered his image of being gentle as jade, and he restrained it.

Even the emperor's face was heavy and his eyes were gloomy.

All the civil and military ministers around were silent. Some of them shook their heads in secret. They didn't know whether they were feeling or admiring: everyone knew that the emperor was in high spirits because of the new crossbow. If ordinary people didn't just beat the iron to make the emperor happy, they might even be able to rub a little favor for it. This comfortable Hou is really different.

Some people flashed sarcasm in their eyes, thinking: if the official language is white, if it is good, it will be straightforward; if it is not, it will be a dull head. It is no wonder that officials will end up like this

Perhaps as long as the eldest prince and the second prince's face hide happiness, but they dare not show too obvious.

"Come and be at ease with me." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Back to the emperor," Guan yubai replied slowly, "emperor, although the crossbow can shoot twelve arrows at a time, there is a problem that can not be ignored, that is, the accuracy of these twelve arrows." After a pause, he explained, "Fang Cai Chen and Wei Yang Hou each shot twelve arrows, but each time less than half of them hit the target."

When trying the crossbow before, the twelve iron arrows flew out, which could hardly be caught by the naked eye. Finally, he only noticed that several iron arrows were inserted into the target, but he did not count how many iron arrows were hit on the target.

The official language Bai said so, and after a careful count, they found that it was indeed the case.

If the emperor was thoughtful, he did not immediately express his position.

Han lingfu was secretly relieved. He thought that the official language Bai wanted to say something. If it was this problem, he and Cui Wei had already found out. He had a sarcastic smile in his heart. Just now, the official's boasting about "things" was clearly to make a fuss. At the moment, it seemed that the official general who had been so marvelous was just like this.

"Father emperor," Han Ling Fu came forward half way, "please listen to the son minister."

All the ministers saw that he had a plan in mind, and they knew that there would be a good play to watch today.

"Three emperor son, you say." Naturally, the emperor agreed.

Han lingfu looked up and said, "father, in fact, the problem of accuracy has also been found by the children's ministers. In addition, the children's ministers also found that the twelve arrows were fired in succession, and the interval between each arrow was somewhat uneven, sometimes fast or slow..."

Han lingfu calmly looked at the official language white, the eyes seemed to say, he simply said the shortcomings of the crossbow, see what you can pick!

The official language looks back quietly, and there is still a faint smile on his lips, which is not different from Han lingfu's provocation.

Han lingfu couldn't help feeling depressed, but he continued: "father, according to the children's ministers, these defects seem to be a problem, but in fact they are not a problem." he confidently said, "today, if it is a one-to-one relationship between the children's ministers and an Yihou, or several people to several people, then the problems just mentioned will become the key to success or failure. But now the bow and crossbow is to take If you go to the battlefield with one hand and let thousands or even tens of thousands of people use it, then tens of thousands of arrows will be fired at the same time. Who can escape the flying arrows? "

Hearing the speech, Wei Yang Hou also nodded, "the emperor, I think what the third prince said is not bad. Intensive tactics can really cover up the problem of insufficient accuracy of bows and crossbows."

The emperor pondered for a while, and then asked the official language Bai faintly, "in addition to this, what's wrong with the crossbow?"

The second one is to answer the question in a clear way. This bow and crossbow uses iron arrows as arrows, which cost a lot. Even if the cost is ignored, a large number of iron mines are still needed as backup support. If you want to send tens of thousands of iron arrows at once, you need to prepare hundreds of thousands or even millions of iron arrows. It may be difficult to allocate such a large number of iron arrows. "

This conventional feather arrow uses iron as arrow and wood as arrow body. Naturally, the cost is much cheaper than pure iron arrow.

All the ministers whispered with each other and felt that the official language was very reasonable. According to Han lingfu's plan, this was not a war with Changdi, but a burning of money!

No one thought that Han Ling Fu was still calm and calm.

Han lingfu's mouth was slightly crooked. The problems mentioned by Guan yubai were long in their expectation. He took a look at Guan yubai with a smile, and then he said, "father, the iron arrows are worth a lot. Therefore, the children are willing to hand over the 200000 taels of silver allocated by the father to the children's minister to the imperial court to use as military funds to help me defeat Changdi."

As for the iron ore, Guan yubai may not know, but Han lingfu knows that Dayu is not short of iron ore. just a month ago, Jingzhou just discovered two new iron ores, and this iron ore and other mineral rights must be nationalized, which means that the emperor pingbai has two more mines.

Although it is true that this iron arrow consumes silver, Dayu can still afford to deal with a mere Changdi.

Han Ling Fu's impassioned words attracted the approval of many ministers. The third prince is really for the country and the people. Even if he has not been granted a king or a food city, he will not hesitate to take out his own Kaifu silver!

The mood of the first Prince and the second prince almost rose and fell with the conversation between the official language Bai and Han lingfu. At the moment, their faces were so gloomy that they could almost drip water. The third prince took out two hundred thousand taels of silver for his country. If they didn't do anything, it would mean that there was no country and no father in their hearts?Even if they are willing to offer silver for military pay, it is only a passive response. I'm afraid the father and the emperor will not remember their good deeds. It means that the filial sons are all left to the third prince.

The emperor nodded his head with satisfaction and laughed, "good! Sanhuang'er, you have a heart. " Then he praised the official language Bai, saying, "comfortable Hou is also considerate!" What we fear most in this March is the shortage of military supplies.

Han lingfu was secretly pleased and said sincerely: "this is what the children should do." With a smile to ask the official language white, the tone is gentle, but the eyes can not hide the provocative meaning, "an Yihou, do not know if you have the third?"

Naturally, the smell of gunpowder in his words could not be concealed from the wise man. However, no one thought that the official language Bai nodded and said mildly, "there are three."

Han lingfu's face almost froze, but he could only say: "please give me your advice!"

Official language white than a finger, slowly way: "please the emperor give minister a incense time."

After the emperor answered, there was an internal servant to prepare the incense.

Then, the official said, "please arrange a guard to test the crossbow with only one incense stick."

What kind of medicine is sold in white gourd in official language? Han Ling Fu felt a little uneasy in his heart. He winked, and immediately a minister jumped out and said, "Lord of ease, what are you doing in front of the emperor?"

The official language Bai is not moved to say: "the emperor, whether it is a mystery, just give the minister a incense time, it can be seen."

The emperor looked at the official language deeply for a moment and said, "well, I will trust you once."

All the people are staring at the official language white, do not understand the meaning of this incense stick.

Soon, a guard of the imperial forest army stepped forward to obey the orders, and he was told by the official language that he would shoot the arrow with the crossbow repeatedly for a moment, until a stick of incense could be stopped.

That's it!?

It was not only the royal guard who couldn't believe his ears, but other people around him were shocked and looked at each other.

The guards of the imperial guards confirmed with the official yubai again, and they were ordered to test fire.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh... "

The iron arrow shot out again and again, and each arrow was as fast as lightning. At first, it might be a little fresh, but soon the monotonous scene almost boring made everyone tired.

Duke Liu whispered in the emperor's ear and suggested, "the emperor, why don't you wait in the palace?"

The emperor's brow moved, still hesitated, and saw Wei Yang Hou's hand arched and said, "please allow the emperor to supervise the inspection here!"

The emperor took a look at it, then burned less than one-third of the incense, then nodded.

Since the emperor entered the hall of Supreme Harmony, other people naturally entered the hall with great momentum, including the official language Bai.

Seeing that Guan yubai didn't intend to stay outside the hall and wait for the crossbow test, Han lingfu had to follow the others into the hall of supreme harmony.

According to the process of the birthday banquet, the fifth prince, the sixth Prince and other clansmen continued to offer birthday gifts to the emperor. However, at the moment, the emperor was obviously absent-minded and spoke lightly. It seemed that he did not care about the gifts.

Not only the emperor, but also the people were thinking about what happened just now, wondering what kind of tricks Guan yubai was playing. In the next few days, they saw all kinds of eyes shooting at the official language white from time to time. On the contrary, it was Guan yubai, who was the most calm and calm one among them. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him. He tasted wine and ate delicious food gracefully.

The official language Bai is so calm that Han lingfu naturally can't lose to him. He tries hard to talk and laugh, but he always thinks that this time should not be different He glanced out of the hall without a trace.

At this time, a slightly disordered footstep color came from the direction of the gate of the hall. Wei Yang Hou strode into the hall and attracted all the eyes at once. He frowned slightly and his lips pressed into a straight line. As he walked, he took a look at the official language white. That eye was really indescribable, but it made Han lingfu's heart sink.

Do you mean

Han lingfu almost did not dare to go down, said to himself, impossible! He and Trevor should have considered all the problems.

"To the emperor," the Marquis Weiyang bowed and saluted, "the crossbow is scattered!" If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes at the scene, he couldn't believe it. The crossbow fell apart!

This sentence made the whole hall shocked, looked at each other, quietly.

Han lingfu stood up and blurted out: "how can this be possible?"

Wei Yang Hou's face changed slightly, and he was not happy with the third prince's query. Since he was ordered by the emperor to inspect the crossbow, he did not dare to slack off. From the beginning to the end, his eyes never left. Even he hasn't figured out what's going on.

At this time, the guards of the royal forest army who had just tried the crossbow also came in in in a hurry, holding a large wooden tray. On the tray, the crossbow was the crossbow presented by Han lingfu. At the moment, its crossbow arm, crossbow and crossbow mechanism had been scattered, and there was a deep red mark on the guard's face, which seemed to have been hit by the scattered parts.Han lingfu's hand was clenched into a fist on the side of his body, trembling slightly. His heart was occupied by an idea: impossible! Impossible

He could not help but look at the past official language, see the other side of the mouth slightly hook to drink the wine in the cup, as if all this was in his expectation. Han Ling Fu's heart was startled and doubted. Was Guan yubai really capable of foreseeing, or was he bold enough to do something under his father's eyes?

At this time, the internal servant had already presented the tray to the emperor. After the emperor looked closer, his face sank and asked, "Marquis Weiyang, what is going on here?"

Wei Yang Hou quickly replied: "when I went back to the emperor, I couldn't understand it. Just as the incense was about to burn out, the crossbow suddenly broke up..." Said, he can't help but look at the official language white one eye, "perhaps easy hou can solve doubts for the micro minister." What a terrible time! He had heard the rumor that he had no choice but to laugh at it as a rumor. He never thought that the rumor was not as good as the real one!

The emperor's eyes also turned to the official language white body, the eye examines ground to ask: "easy Hou, you knew that would be like this?"

This question is probably a common question in the hearts of all the people in the temple.

The official language white stood up and calmly replied: "back to the emperor, the minister is a mortal, naturally there is no ability to foresee. Just from the experience of Yichen, the design of the crossbow arm and crossbow is quite careless. Although it can barely launch twelve arrows, because the structure of the crossbow is not stable, it will be impacted every time it is launched. During the test firing, Fang caichen faintly felt that the body of the crossbow was too heavy, and the arm of the crossbow swayed violently. I'm afraid it will not last long... " His lips slightly raised, a school calmly said, "although this crossbow is difficult to use in the battlefield, but it's really interesting to make. It can be used to play with at leisure."

The emperor was full of blood because of this crossbow. He wanted to equip the army of Dayu with this kind of crossbow. He thought that this time he could win over Changdi. He even used this new weapon to frighten the barbarians.

Therefore, when the official said that the crossbow was expensive, the Emperor didn't care about it. It was like that even if the barbarians tried to copy the crossbow, they couldn't equip their soldiers in large quantities.

But I don't want to, this is just a dream of incense!

If Guan yubai had not found out this fatal defect, once he had spent a lot of military money to make the crossbow and send it to the battlefield, the crossbows on the soldiers' hands would have been scattered all over the place, which would have been a big joke!

As the saying goes, "the higher you climb, the heavier you fall." when the emperor's heart was cold, his eyes turned cold when he looked at Han lingfu. In his heart, he felt that the three emperor's son was too unreliable. He just let man Chao see jokes at his birthday party!

"My father..." 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 keep calm. He said, "this crossbow has just been developed, and there are still some problems, but the power of the crossbow has been seen by the emperor. The son minister believes that if he improves it again, he can..."

"Let's wait until you improve it." The emperor coldly interrupted Han Ling Fu.

Han lingfu was eager to speak, but finally he sat down in dismay, hating in his heart that Cui Wei was too unreliable. He made such a big mistake, which made him lose face in front of so many people!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and Cui Yanyan, the future third prince's concubine, became angry.

One side of the big prince and the second prince secretly exchanged a look, are schadenfreude.

In the second prince's mind, an idea emerged: even though he was weak and could not go to war again, he was indeed a talented man. This time, the official language white obviously has offended the three emperor younger brother, that is not a good opportunity to seduce him? Thinking of this, he looked at the official language white eyes can not help but warm up.

The birthday party continued, but this time, the original jubilant atmosphere was more unlikely to be restored.

After the emperor lost his interest, he was in a state of depression. After about half an hour, the birthday banquet of Taihe hall was over.

However, this day is not over. If the birthday banquet for the minister is finished, the next birthday banquet in the harem is just about to start. The second one can be said to be a family banquet. Only a few of the emperor's close ministers, some of his relatives and relatives, as well as the concubines and princesses in the harem, can attend.

Therefore, after the birthday banquet of Taihe hall, Su's family went out of the palace and went back to Nangong house. Only Nangong Yue was left by the queen to attend the family dinner after that.

Several maids were leading the way, and a group of ladies and girls gathered together in twos and threes and walked slowly forward.

Fu Yunyan came to Nangong Yue with a smile: "ah Yue, we'll have a table later."

Seeing her alone, Nangong Yue looked around and asked, "Liu Niang, where is yongyang grandmother?"

"My grandmother said she was tired and went back to her house first." Fu Yunyan first said this. Seeing Nangong Yue's face showing worry, he lowered his voice and said in his ear, "grandma wants to talk to comfort Hou, so she takes the excuse of being tired."

Nangong Yue was stunned. He heard Fu Yunyan sigh and said, "ah Yue, the man I admire most is the officer general. He can fight in battle and make countless contributions when he is young." She seemed to think of something, her face darkened, and then she laughed again, "I once regretted for him Today, it seems that he does not need my regret! "The official language white is still that official language white, even if encounter the disaster of destroying the door, it is still like a cluster of green bamboo in the snow, no one can crush it! This man is really too unpredictable, as if he should have been born to stand high, so that people can not reach

During the talk, they have been led to the grand stage, which has been decorated and decorated. It seems that the red and green area is very bright, and the opera team is on standby.

In front of the stage, there are a set of tables and chairs. Now most of the seats are still empty.

The guide maid said that the birthday banquet would start in half an hour.

Fu Yunyan was about to suggest a walk elsewhere, but a familiar rebuke came from behind: "give it to the master of this palace!"

Then he heard a crisp slapping sound, Nangong Yue frowned, followed the sound to see a thin figure covered with a veil, it was the second princess.

Beside her stood a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with beautiful features and gentle and submissive eyes. She was wearing a emerald green dress with vivid flying swallows embroidered on the skirt, but at the moment, a small pool of light tea soaked her skirt train.

A maid of the palace knelt down and begged for mercy: "my servant should die. Please forgive your highness and Miss Cui!"

"Your Highness, forget it." That green dress girl warm voice persuades way, looks dignified Xian Shu, "today is the holy birthday, if startles the emperor then not good." After a pause, she sighed, "this dress is given by Empress Zhang. I just hope that she doesn't blame me."

The second princess snorted coldly and swung her sleeve and said, "since Miss Cui pleads for you, I'll let you go around you, the humble servant!"

This girl should be What did Nangong Yue think of, his eyes flashed.

Fu Yunyan said in her ear, "that's Cui's girl from general Cui." That is to say, the third prince's concubine in the future.

Originally, this girl Cui had nothing to do with nangongyue. But Nangong Yue had a worried cousin who wanted to go to the third prince's house as a concubine. According to the truth, the relative of the concubine is not a serious one. It means that if Nangong Yue goes to see his cousin in the third prince's house, it will be neglected and justifiable.

Nangong Yue saw Fu Yunyan's mind, but he laughed and didn't care. Others may not know, but she knows that Miss Cui is a kind-hearted girl. She was protected by Mrs. Cui when she was in the boudoir, so she was not leaking anything. However, after Miss Cui got married in the previous life, many sensational things happened in the back house of her husband's family Today, it seems that it is better to meet her than to be famous. This girl Cui is also very good at making use of her strength and letting others play a black face. I don't know who the future third prince's concubine will be better than Bai muxiao in the future!

Nangong Yue was thinking about whether to avoid it. The two princesses' sharp eyes had already shot over and said with a smile: "isn't this the princess of Yaoguang?" Her eyes full of malice seemed to say, even if the empress of fengluan palace helped you before, could you still hide for a lifetime? Since

was all provocative, Nangong Yue simply walked over with Fu Yunyan and saluted, "I saw two princesses."

That Cui Yanyan also salutes to Nangong Yue: "have seen the princess."

After seeing the ceremony, the second princess looked at Nangong Yue and said, "princess, this man's fate is really interesting! This time, Miss Cui also bowed her head to salute the princess, but the next time, she was going to turn it upside down! Life is really changing rapidly. This moment of complacency does not represent a lifetime. Do you think, princess

What the second princess said is right. Now Cui Yanyan has no grade, so she needs to be blessed and saluted when she meets Nangong Yue. But when Cui Yanyan marries the third prince and becomes the third prince's concubine, Nangong Yue will salute Cui Yanyan.

The second princess laughs sarcastically, which means Nangong Yue is really uninteresting. Originally, I wanted to promote her to be the third prince's concubine, but she didn't know how to be funny and waited for her own Yi!

Nangong Yue casually nodded his head and said, "Your Highness said that this moment of complacency can not represent one's life." In the past life, I have fully proved this point.

Seeing Nangong Yue's indifference, the second princess felt a little bored. She thought of another thing that Princess Zhang told her. She thought bitterly: Although the father has not made up his mind yet But later, I'm afraid that Nangong Yue will cry! Just watch yourself!

Cui Yanyan, with a reserved smile, suddenly asked, "does the princess have a cousin surnamed Bai?"

Fu Yunyan frowned. At this time, a servant's voice came from not far away: "the emperor is here! Empress dowager, Empress Dowager

All of them had a straight face and were busy curving their knees.

The emperor asked them to get up and take their seats. Fu Yunyan took Nangong Yue to the corner seat and whispered to Nangong Yue: "ah Yue, this Cui girl doesn't seem to be as good-natured as the rumor, so you should be careful in the future."

Liu Niang is sharp. Nangong Yue looked at her with a smile and said: "it's OK, I can't afford to be provoked, can't I hide?"

The two little girls looked at each other and laughed, and everyone sat down.

The emperor took the queen and the Empress Dowager at a table in the middle of the table. Concubines with high rank such as concubine Zhang and concubine Liu sat at a table, and several princesses sat at a table After a while, they were full.The emperor was very quick to make a play, and the stage began to sing noisily. Gongs and drums were blatant, and several actors with heavy make-up appeared.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively. When it was wonderful, people under the stage applauded and clapped. The emperor even laughed from time to time, which made others relax.

It's a pity that the scene is not long. This is the second song. A small Chamberlain suddenly comes out of breath and kneels down in front of the emperor with a plop.

"See See the emperor The little Chamberlain respectfully presented a fold, "there are three thousand li urgent fold!"

Three thousand miles urgent?! That must be a great event to shock the imperial court!

Is it related to Changdi?

Most of the people present were so suspicious that they kept silent and looked up at the emperor.

The Queen's mother GUI winked at the stage, and the actors stopped at once and became silent.

Duke Liu took the fold from the servant's hand and handed it to the emperor. As soon as the emperor opened the fold, he read a line of words, and his face suddenly changed By the time he finished reading and closing the fold, his face was as dark as a cloud. He stood up abruptly and strode away.

Liu Gonggong quickly followed up, but he did not dare to say a word.

People looked at each other, from the emperor's face, it was absolutely not a good thing. Is it true that the northern frontier army was defeated?

The protagonists of the birthday party all left, and the queen naturally didn't want to continue, so she left in a hurry.

When Nangong Yue returns to the mansion, the sunset has already dyed the sky in the West.

Nangong Yue went to ask for Su's regards. When Su saw her, she couldn't hide her surprise. "Yue sister, how did you come back so soon?" According to the truth, the emperor's family dinner must at least be finished after dinner.

Before Nangong Yue had time to explain, a servant girl rushed to report that the imperial edict had arrived!

This is the priority. Su's family and nangongyue rush to the second gate immediately. When they arrive, Lin, nangongxin and other people from other rooms will also arrive.

Duke Liu and Nangong Yue were already very familiar. When the Xiangtan case was opened, he said with a smile: "princess, since all the people are here, we are ready to announce a decree."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

All the Nangong people knelt down to receive the order.

Liu Gonggong read the imperial edict in a long voice: "carry by heaven, the emperor says..."

His sharp voice almost resounded through the whole Nangong mansion, but the people were confused. The emperor actually asked nangongyue and Xiao Yi to marry in ten days' time, and then return to the house after the hairpin was reached

What the hell is going on here?! Nangong Yue did not enter the palace to attend a birthday banquet. The emperor somehow advanced her marriage to Xiao Yi two years ago. Moreover, it was only right for a woman to marry after the hairpin. Nangong Yue has just turned 13!

All of them were uneasy to send Duke Liu off, and they all cast their eyes on Nangong Yue.

"Sister Yue..." Lin's heart is full of reluctant to give up. She has just begun to prepare a dowry for her daughter. How can her daughter get married? There are so many things not ready! She is such a daughter, so willing to get married in such a hurry! Lin couldn't help but feel that the emperor's work was too far off the mark.

Nangong Lin's eyes flashed and asked curiously, "three elder sisters, how could the emperor suddenly order you to marry the son of a son? This time is a little too urgent. What's the matter?" Is there any shady reason!?

Nangong Yue's eyes moved, and she thought of the three thousand li urgent fold. It seems that the content of this fold should be related to southern Xinjiang.

Nangong Yue only felt that the imperial edict in his hand was heavy. Since the emperor had given the edict, Xiao Yi must be leaving soon

Although he had psychological preparation, but when the dust settled down, Nangong Yue's heart was like a huge stone. Xiao Yi's trip to southern Xinjiang can be said to be a matter of internal and external troubles. With so many crises, how can she not be worried.

She can't help but look up at the gradually darkening sky. Now I'm afraid Xiao Yi has received the imperial edict.

At this time, Xiao Yi was kneeling in the main hall of Zhennan Prince's residence and listened to a Duke Li read out the imperial edict:

"the emperor ordered Xiao Yi, the son of Zhennan king, to marry Princess Yaoguang on the eighth day of September, and to wait for Princess Yaoguang and Ji hou to complete their marriage. Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan, left for Southern Xinjiang on September 11 to take over the affairs of Southern Xinjiang temporarily in order to resist the army of Southern barbarians

"I obey my orders!"

Xiao Yi bows down to take the imperial edict. He is calm on the surface, but his heart is turbulent.

This day has come at last!
