The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty finally sent the imperial guards to the place the prince said to check. In the process of waiting, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and people could not help but pinch a cold sweat for the prince.
It is not impossible for his royal highness to recruit private soldiers and make weapons of his own, but the reason why he did so would never be to fight against the imperial court.
In the past, when his royal highness was at the border, he used the silver from his private Treasury to build weapons and transport them to the front line. However, at that time, he took an open and aboveboard way, and the king praised it a few times.
If these actions were carried out without the knowledge of the king, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Tang Yue holds Prince Zhao's hand under the table, and his fingernails gently scratch his palm.
Prince Zhao returned to him with a leisurely smile, and Tang Yue's heart immediately settled down.
I don't know where the prince Xu got the news, but he sneaked it out.
When Prince Zhao wanted to form a heavy armour army, the number of the first group was only 1000. Some of them were selected from the existing soldiers and some were selected from the newly recruited guards of the prince's residence.
It's also true to say that they are private soldiers. After all, these people are not on the army's roster. In addition, they have built an arsenal in the mountains near Taiyang city to make armor and weapons for these 1000 people.
The place where Prince Xu found out was probably the place where they were training in the suburbs. The training of these 1000 people could not be carried out in the city, nor could they be too far away, otherwise Prince Zhao could not take care of it.
"Zhao'er, I believe you won't have this ridiculous behavior. I will leave the matter of papermaking to Marquis Liyang for the time being. I hope to see the first batch of paper appear on the desk three months later."
"I obey my orders!"
It's already late. If it's the past year, this time would have been over. But today, I'm afraid they'll have to stay after midnight.
In the hall, a servant comes back with a cold air.
The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty subconsciously leaned forward and looked at them with sharp eyes.
"How?" Wang Zixu couldn't help but ask.
"Back to the king, when I arrived at the place the prince said, it was indeed a residential house with a very large area. The people who lived in it knew a few humble positions and really came from the prince's house..."
"Ah..." Some people in the crowd couldn't help but cry out and looked at Prince Zhao in shock.
The big prince is smiling, contented expression to see Tang Yue's mouth straight, can't the ancients not know that the last is the winner.
"How many? How do you dress up? " The king of Southern Jin asked in a deep voice.
"The humble official called all the people of Chuang Tzu out and counted them. There were more than 300 people in total. All of them were men, women, old and young. Dressing up is the common dress of common people."
"It's impossible for the private soldiers of the ninth brother to train in armor for the new year's Eve. They must all be in the Spring Festival?"
"This It's not... "
"Well? Not what? "
"Most of them focus on a big room when they are forced to enter a humble position, lighting lights everywhere and copying books."
"Copy books? What book is it? The book of war? " Asked Zhan, raising his voice.
"There are few books in humble position, but they are all medical books
"No way!" Retort loudly to the big prince.
"Xu'er, listen to general Wei first Wei Qing, you can tell us all about the situation in the house! "
"Here What they copied were medical books. When they were asked about their identity, their answers were very consistent. They said that they were the students of the princess. They learned medicine from the princess. There were warehouses for storing herbs, pharmacies, and study rooms and wards where they usually studied. It should not be a fraud.
As for the soldiers and weapons mentioned by the big prince, I only see a small room for storing weapons. There are some small daggers and needle like concealed weapons in the room. The damage is limited. "
"Well, general Wei? The dagger you mentioned is actually a scalpel, and the concealed weapon you are talking about is actually a silver needle. They are all medical tools, not weapons. " Tang Yue heard his words and knew that this matter had been exposed temporarily, so he corrected him with a smile.
"Wei Chen has seen the tools used by the princess. There are knives, tweezers, needles and so on. They are all things to save people. Can they be weapons?" Wu Tai Yi finally couldn't help but stand up and say a word.
"If the father doesn't believe it, my son's ministers can ask people to invite all the people in Chuang Tzu. Most of them are students who go out from my house and give them to the prince and princess."
"Sophistry!" The prince stood up and said, "how can so many people be the students of the princess? Moreover, when I found out about the place, there were not only a few hundred people there, but they must have been transferred to other places by the ninth younger brother. "
What do you mean, brother? I don't know that you will impose this crime on you tonight In the premise of not knowing, Prince Zhao could not move people ahead of time."Well, Xu'er must have stayed at home for a long time, which has caused confusion." The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty gave the prince a stern glance, and turned to Tang Yue with a gentle look: "I didn't expect that yue'er still had so many students hidden. Can you take care of them?"
"Thank you for your concern. I thought it would be a surprise to tell my father when these people were trained successfully. I didn't expect to be discovered by brother Dawang so soon. You can see that although you don't go out very much, you can still know the world's affairs." Tang Yue said with emotion.
The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty frowned, "what do you train so many doctors to do?"
"In fact, they are not medical practitioners. They are just assistants who understand medical principles. Most of these people are demobilized from the battlefield. They are disabled and can't do heavy work. If they can be trained into efficient and professional medical assistants, they can be sent to the battlefield in the future, and the casualties can be minimized."
This starting point is undoubtedly sacred and selfless. No one can make mistakes. Even many people want to get one or two of these people. With them, their life and health will be more guaranteed.
"The princess is really a Bodhisattva. She is so considerate for the country and the people, which not only solves the problem of insufficient military doctors on the battlefield, but also resets a lot of disabled soldiers who have retired from the battlefield, greatly reducing the pressure on the Treasury."
The ministers agreed to this one after another, and they had a clear preference for Tang Yue, the prince and princess.
"Good! You've done a good job! " The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty rewarded the Tang and Yue dynasties with a lot of gold and silver treasures. His smile was more sincere. A daughter-in-law who was always concerned about the common people and did practical work without seeking fame and wealth was indeed commendable.
"Thank you for your praise. It's just a misunderstanding. It's just a misunderstanding. It's just a misunderstanding. I think brother Wang heard the rumor from nowhere. I believe it's true. Fortunately, it's just a misunderstanding."
The big prince also wanted to explain a few words. He saw the old princess on the opposite side trying to wink at him. He had to bow his head and not be reconciled to say, "it was the son's minister who had misunderstood the ninth younger brother. I hope you don't blame me."
The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was so angry that he pointed to the prince and shook his head. "It seems that you still have to learn more about the rules. From tomorrow, when you come into the palace every day, you will be taught these things."
"Father..."
"Shut up! This is the end of the matter. Don't mention it again! " The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty shook his sleeve and left a room of Ministers looking at each other.
This is probably the most tortuous New Year's Eve banquet they have had, repeatedly, people's nerves are about to collapse.
After the banquet, the big prince went straight to his home without stopping for a moment. Otherwise, his piercing eyes would be able to insert a few holes in him.
"Bang!" The big prince smashed everything in the room and sat panting.
"Uncle Wang, this is not the same as what you said before. Instead, the prince was not rejected by his father. On the contrary, he made the dragon's heart happy because of the paper he presented. The matter in Huanghua village was even worse than before. We didn't take any advantage of it."
"The eldest prince is too impatient. Man is the master and the heaven is the master. His Royal Highness has a deep foundation. Is it possible to overthrow him with a little trick?"
"Let's try our best to drag Li Xian into the water. It's not just a little trick. On the contrary, it's really not painful to look at the prince."
"I didn't expect that Prince Zhao not only transferred the villagers of Huanghua village in advance, but also set up an ambush. It is certain that someone will deal with him."
"What's so strange about that? The rumor has been spread for a long time. The prince is not stupid. Can he not be blamed for killing the villagers? "
"What do you mean? You clapped your hands on this plan The old princess snorted coldly and taught: "you are too impatient and act rashly. You will lose the king's favor. If you don't change this, it will be difficult to achieve great things in the future."
"Uncle Wang, since you and I have become an alliance, it's better to say less. If you don't like this king, just leave!" When the big prince shakes his long sleeve, he will get up and leave.
"So angry?" The old princess laughed, "you really can't listen to any hard words. Uncle Wang said that for you? Is it the flattery of those villains that makes you happy
"Oh, where else will flatter the king now?" The big prince mocked himself.
The old Sheriff sighed in secret. Since the event happened that year, the eldest prince was banned for three years, the whole court has almost forgotten the existence of this common eldest son. I'm afraid even the king has forgotten that he has a eldest son.
If he was not able to compete with his royal highness, he would not have found the fallen prince.
"You don't have to be discouraged. The king is in good health. The crown prince is only the prince in the end. With the king's fear of him, he will not be abolished one day."
"Uncle Wang can only fool three-year-old children with these words. Is the crown prince abolished? The father and the king agree, but the officials will not. "
