When Wang Mazi heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, there is a battle to be fought." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" and then said in a low voice, "The northern Turks are attacking again, and Tuyuhun in the west is also hoarding heavy troops at the border, and if they attack with all their might, it will only take a few days to arrive." ”

"Ah, the Turks were not repelled by the old emperor, they have been bowing down to their ministers for more than ten years, and there is also Natuyuhun, coming to the dynasty every year, and besides, there has always been a large army stationed on the border, why would the two countries threaten the capital of the city" Lin Nan didn't expect the situation to be so serious at all, Lin Nan thought that the world was now a river and lake, and the war would still have an impact.

"Goryeo has always been disobedient to the power of heaven, His Majesty sent General Xue to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack, has connected several cities, deep into Goryeo, Turkic suddenly died in the Khan last year, the new Khan coveted the prosperity of our dynasty, see the opportunity to take advantage of, a few days ago waved the army south, that Tuyuhun may have been instigated, but also ready to move, Your Majesty is worried about Longyou, Jiannan two roads, has sent three His Royal Highnesses to wave the army to sit in the town. Wang Mazi didn't hide anything after knowing that Lin Nan was the boss, and continued: "Your Majesty heard that the Fifth Highness can make divine weapons and firearms in the workshop, and specially ordered Princess Qingfeng to supervise the construction with all her strength to support the front-line generals. ”

Xue Li, the general of Xue, is one of the few generals in the court, who has saved the old emperor Lin Nan in danger several times, and everyone in Beijing knows it. His people can fight well, and the Turks are defeated by him, and this time it seems that he also dared to attack when he was far away from this henchman.

"Then I'm sorry for you, Princess Qingfeng can be in the workshop?" Lin Nan asked, this Princess Qingfeng is a princess from the East Kingdom before Lin Nan left Farrant, the old emperor trusts her very much, and her ability is really outstanding, Lin Nan knew her when she was a child, but she hasn't seen her for a long time, although this princess is good-looking, but Lin Nan doesn't like it very much, so she didn't chase her.

"The princess jade is not feeling well, she has not come recently, and the horse has come to supervise the work every day, and is now in the workshop, Your Highness, please." "Wang Mazi walked in front and took Lin Nan and the Demon Emperor into the Craftsman's Workshop, and now the Demon Emperor is Lin Nan's right and left hand, so any Cheng is qualified to enter.

Someone had already entered the door to report, when Lin Nan stepped into the gate, everyone had already knelt on the ground, welcoming Lin Nan's arrival, looking at familiar faces, blazing eyes, Lin Nan's heart was warm, this group of subordinates who had followed Lin Nan for several months, and they were the most trustworthy scientists in the Beijing Division, Lin Nan smiled slightly and asked everyone to get up, Lin Nan asked the people around about the recent situation.

It seems that the uncle and Mar arranged very well, everyone is now settled around the workshop, half a month ago received an order from the royal family, to prepare for the war with all their might, several generals have gone to the military department to report, temporarily absent, the rest of the civil officials, craftsmen are in the workshop to help, rush to make artillery, half a month has been built twenty guns, ready to send to the front line of Longyou, but the process of manufacturing gunpowder is complicated, mass production is not easy.

"Five...... Fifth Highness, you are finally back. Hearing this somewhat trembling voice, Lin Nan hurriedly turned around, it was Liu Yuxi who came.

I haven't seen him for more than two months, Liu Yuxi is a little blessed, and he has some temperament, Lin Nan looked at his proud subordinates, and Lin Nan's heart couldn't help but be a little moved.

He walked in front of Lin Nan, looked at Lin Nan carefully for a while, and was about to kneel, Lin Nan hurriedly helped him up, and said: "What kind of system, you can't kneel to me in the future, you have to be commensurate with your peers, you are now my friend and subordinate, by the way, I brought you famous poems from all over the country on the way back to Beijing, and I have seen the old emperor and queen, everyone has a good gathering, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return." "Send Bi Lin Nan to his arms and take out some calligraphy and paintings that Lin Nan bought in Suzhou and give them to him.

"His Royal Highness hasn't returned to the palace yet" Liu Yuxi received the calligraphy and paintings, and then was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "Didn't the emperor send someone to urgently summon you into the palace with a gold medal." ”

"I haven't seen any gold medal, probably because I returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, and the envoy missed, I just arrived in Beijing, I want to wash the dust, and then enter the palace to meet the old emperor. Lin Nan secretly thought that this time it seemed that the military situation was urgent, and even the gold medal was used.

"It's okay, last time because of the gunpowder matter, the queen mother was very dissatisfied with you, fortunately the princess tried her best to speak for you, only to suppress the matter, the military situation has been urgent recently, so the emperor urgently summoned His Royal Highness back to Beijing, presiding over the production of artillery, I will accompany you, it may be better." "Now Liu Yuxi mainly helps Lin Nan manage personnel in the palace, so it is easy for him to enter the palace, and now most of the first-class officials are his subordinates, of course, they are also Lin Nan's subordinates.

"Then let's settle it. Lin Nan thought about it and nodded.

Lin Nan hurriedly took a shower, changed into new clothes, said goodbye to everyone, and Lin Nan and Liu Yuxi entered the palace together under the protection of the forbidden army.

Along the way, everyone talked about the whereabouts of the uncle, Liu Yuxi also had no clue, but said that there was a guard to protect it, and it would not be a big deal, Princess Qingfeng found out that she was pregnant three days ago, so she began to move around not much recently, and the post of supervisor was replaced by Mar and him.

Then everyone talked about the affairs of the car dealership, Lin Nan mentioned what he had seen and heard in the Eastern Capital, and by the way inquired about the situation of the other two car dealers, Liu Yuxi smiled when he heard it, and said to Lin Nan in a low voice: "Actually, that Ningchi car dealership is also my industry! Uncle Guo said, you can't let the Lin car dealership dominate and make any decisions, and you can also improve the so-called service quality by competition, so you can secretly set up a car dealership." ”

"Hehe, it's not a dragon break, it's a monopoly," Lin Nan smiled, corrected him and then Lin Nan asked again: "I see." So who is the Sun Kee car dealership?"

"Sun Ji Che Dealership, I have also heard of this, I have ordered someone to inquire, but I can't find anything, it seems to be related to a certain highness. Liu Yuxi thought about it and replied.

"Oh, it's a matter of time, so let him go. As soon as Lin Nan heard a thought in his heart, there was still one of the two princes that Lin Nan suspected at the beginning, and it seemed that this Sun Ji car dealership was very likely to be the property of the eldest prince.

After entering the imperial city, he asked the old emperor Qing to have a meeting in the imperial study, so he and Liu Yuxi went straight away.

The imperial study is on the edge of the imperial garden, the door is closed at this time, the room is brightly lit, there is a row of guards with knives standing at the door, blocking the door densely, and there are two little eunuchs, their faces are full of fatigue, it seems that they have been standing for a long time.

Seeing Lin Nan and Liu Yuxi coming, the little eunuch hurriedly greeted him, and waved to everyone An Linnan and stopped.

At this time, Liu Yuxi instructed the two: "You go in and spread the word, and say that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince and I have asked to meet." ”

As soon as the two eunuchs heard this, they quickly went in, and it didn't take long for them to come out again, and said loudly: "The emperor has an order, and the fifth prince of Xuan and Liu Yuxi will come to see him." ”

The row of guards was immediately neatly divided into two rows, left and right, and the leading one bowed to Lin Nan with a fist and said, "The lowly emperor is in his body, so he can't kneel down to greet His Highness." ”

"No need to be polite," Lin Nan couldn't help but look at the strong man's eyes, seeing that his eyes were bright, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, he felt good in his heart, and smiled at him and said, "The general's devotion to his duties is admirable." If you have the opportunity, you must be close to the general. Lin Nan said this intentionally or unintentionally, although eighty percent of the forces in the palace are Lin Nan's, but there are still a considerable number of old women's, and now they can win over one and count one.

Then the two didn't say much, and Lin Nan and Liu Yuxi stepped into the imperial study together.

The place in the imperial study is extremely spacious, and at this moment there are twenty or thirty people sitting on the ground, but they still do not feel crowded, it seems that the various departments and most of the generals have arrived, and the forest of guards, the length of time, and the number of attendees, it seems that this meeting is very important.

Lin Nan stepped forward, looked at the old emperor who was sitting on the top and had a lot of gorgeous hair, his heart was excited, he leaned down and bowed, and asked for peace: "Father, the son is back, may my father live long live." "Always say polite things in front of everyone.

When the old emperor saw Lin Nan coming back, he was happy for a while, so he personally stepped down from his seat, picked Lin Nan up, took Lin Nan's hand, and looked at Lin Nan: "Emperor, it's good to come back, your mother often complains to me, saying that I shouldn't let you go to other countries at such a young age, and I always blame myself." "In fact, everyone knows what the old emperor asked Lin Nan to do in the south of the country, this sentence is for other people, and now the old emperor doesn't know how powerful Lin Nan is among the courtiers, so he will say this.

"The sons don't dare, it's the sons who make their father worried, and it is what the sons should do to share the worries for their fathers. The play is going to be performed to the end, so Lin Nan will continue to be polite.

"The emperor has grown up, come, sit next to the old emperor, and she will be happy to accompany you to see your mother and concubine later, Liu Qing's family, you go back first." After saying that, he waved his hand at Liu Yuxi.

The minister retired first. Liu Yuxi glanced at Lin Nan and withdrew.

Lin Nan sat down beside the old emperor, and all the ministers greeted Lin Nan one after another, and there was another burst of praise before slowly returning to the topic.

"Emperor, you must know something about the current situation. "The old emperor seems to want Lin Nan to also participate in the discussion, although he is usually very divided, but in his heart Lin Nan is the most successful one, and now he puts all his hopes on Lin Nan.

"Erchen has heard of it, but he doesn't know it, he only knows that the Turks are coming, Tuyuhun is pressed by heavy troops, several imperial brothers have gone to Longyou, Jiannan two ways to resist the enemy, General Xue Shang went deep into Goryeo, eager to return to help, the father has ordered people to strengthen the city defense, and mobilize the surrounding army, Gong Wei Jingshi. "This evil can only be said directly.

"That's pretty much it, and in addition, Jiannan Dao is also unstable. The old emperor was a little worried, for so many years, Lin Nan had rarely seen him have such an expression: "And there are riots in several states." ”

Lin Nan was shocked when he heard this, there are riots in this peaceful and prosperous era, why didn't I know when I was in Suzhou, could it be that the war was coming, I hope not to miss the big event of Lin Nan leaving the palace and getting away.

At this time, someone below said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has controlled the riots in several states, but His Royal Highness has been merciful and did not execute those civilians." "This man is a great general, and his name seems to be Tintin, a very sissy name.

Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of War said hurriedly: "General Ding's words are wrong, how can the people be slaughtered again in wartime, the army of Jiannan is all local people, if a large number of mobs are executed, I am afraid it will not be good for the army." ”

The old emperor sighed: "At the beginning, he ordered a large number of ships in Sichuan, and wanted to attack Goryeo by land and water, and the labor was heavier, but he didn't expect that Goryeo had not yet been captured, but it attracted the Turks, Tuguhun, the gains outweighed the losses, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

The two Shangshu of the "Honorable Decree" were written down on paper separately.

Lin Nanyuan looked at the rice paper in front of the monks' books of the generals, and had already written down a lot of articles, and it seemed that the one-night meeting was quite fruitful.

"Fifth Emperor, I heard that you have created a divine artillery in the southern country, why have I never heard of you mention it before. "Lin Nan's headache has finally come, the old emperor and this crumb people know that it doesn't matter, and they are most afraid that the old woman will come and ask.

Fortunately, Lin Nan has already made some preparations, so he won't know how to answer now.

"Father, the emperor is glorious, the artillery is not the son of the minister is unwilling to tell the father, but the time has not come. Lin Nan thought about it and replied.

After speaking, Lin Nan continued: "When Erchen was a child, he found a few broken books in the Imperial City Library, with strange characters written on them, Erchen asked Mr. Kong Yu, he also said that he didn't know, Erchen thought it was interesting and copied it according to the book, and then there was a self-proclaimed public lose-like fairy in a dream to point out to Erchen, Erchen began to make according to the book, this cannon is one of them, but the fairy told Erchen at that time, this thing is cumbersome to manufacture, and the operation is careless and endangers human life, so Erchen dared to dedicate it to his father after many tests. "This is Lin Nan's specialty, but the old emperor also understands Lin Nan's panic talk, this kind of thing Lin Nan is an old woman, he naturally knows, so he also replied to Lin Nan's meaning: "It turns out that there is a blessing from the gods, the emperor thinks about me, what a crime, the military situation is urgent recently, everyone recommends artillery, I have requisitioned the emperor's workshop to make it, Liu Yuxi told Lin Nan that the gunpowder production is slow, the emperor you have to try to solve it, if you win this battle, the emperor can remember the first credit." ”

After hearing this, Lin Nan could only reply: "Respect the order." ”

At this time, the ministers were discussing, and Lin Nan knew that only half of the subjects here were Lin Nan's people, and half of them were old woman's people, but fortunately, it seemed that they were all hearing for the first time that this carpentry ancestor was also an immortal.

The old man turned to the ministers: "The power of artillery, the Qing family must have heard of it, this time to retreat from the enemy, the enemy is outnumbered, so we must rely on this divine weapon, the Ministry of Rites, the proposed edict to build a shrine, the ancestor of the Trick Luban, named the heavenly protector of the country, the general leader of the world's craftsmen." ”

Hearing that the old emperor was going to build a temple, Lin Nan secretly thought that he could take the opportunity to improve the status of the craftsman, which would be good for Lin Nan's subordinates, so Lin Nan hurriedly said: "Old emperor, there was a craftsman under Erchen, who sacrificed himself bravely to make gunpowder for divine soldiers, and asked the old emperor to posthumously crown him as a disciple of the immortals, so as to collect the hearts of craftsmen in the world." ”

"Reasonable, quasi-playing! The Ministry of Rites, this matter is also left to you to handle, and nine outstanding craftsmen in the world will be selected, and they will be sealed by the same class disciples. "Although the old emperor is also making a show, but he is very concerned about artillery now, and he is going to fight, so it is naturally a good thing to have new weapons.
