Li Shimin spent a whole day walking around the mansions of the powerful in Luoyang City. It wasn't until the activity funds in Zhang Yurou's hands were spent that the river was exhausted, and then he returned to the other courtyard.

The next day, he entered the palace at the hour of the hour, and waited outside the imperial study for three hours, until the afternoon, when the Son of Heaven had met with many important ministers of the court, and then he got the opportunity to see His Majesty.

With his current status in the mind of the Son of Heaven, it is actually not impossible to cut in line. But this is not necessary, this time it is not as conclusive as the previous two times, and some are just a rough guess. And even if Li Shimin asked for a will, he would have to wait until a few days before leaving. First, the next is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he has to wait until after the New Year to leave; second, before leaving, he must do some planning and preparation. At this time, it is not only Qinglong Villa that needs time to mobilize manpower, but also his side.

Although he has now prepared some means for Xue Ju in the officialdom and border army in Kansai, it will take a certain amount of time to see the effect.

In addition, the embroidered guards under his command also needed to rush to Xijing before him to do some preliminary work.

Later, as Li Shimin expected, the Son of Heaven was quite impressed by his advances, and simply asked the Zhongshu Sheren to draw up a will, giving him full authority to investigate the matter.

- Just let him investigate, in fact, the role is limited, the key is that in the will, it is clearly stated that all officials below the third grade in Kansai have the right to cooperate with the investigation. This complements the Shang Fang Sword in Li Shimin's hand, which is extremely powerful. At least in Kansai, no one dares to disobey his orders in person. Otherwise, Li Shimin could directly behead them without asking for instructions from Jingzhong.

Although this is not for those high-ranking officials in Xijing, Li Shimin clearly knows that the real people in the government are those officials and officials at the bottom.

As long as he can suppress these people, then everything is easy to say. If he can't hold it down, then no matter how strong his support at the top of the government is, it will be difficult to have a substantive effect.

And the conflict between him and Xue Ju this time is difficult to extend to a higher level of court contention, and the wrestling between the two sides will only be concentrated at the bottom of the government and the border.

However, Wang Chonggu, the ambassador of the embroidered clothes, did not seem to be very at ease with him, although he did not say anything or interfere in any way when Li Shimin asked for the order, but when their monarchs and ministers asked the right question, his face was tense throughout the whole process.

Later, when he personally sent Li Shimin out of the palace, he asked in a strange voice: "I want to know, what do you mean by Li Kaifu?"

"Of course, it's to search for the Demon Dragon Eight Divisions. ”

Li Shimin found that Wang Chonggu's expression of stabbing to death was so dangerous, he couldn't help laughing: "I won't hide it from the prince, I am not only for the public but also for the private interest, and the conflict between me and the overlord of the Western Qin, you should understand." ”

"The old slave knows a thing or two about this!"

Wang Chonggu sighed: "I even know that you walked through almost all the mansions of the ministers above the third rank in the court yesterday. But is it really necessary to make a big deal about it, especially at this time?"

"Princess, this time it was Xue Ju who made the first move, and the last general could only passively respond to the battle. As you should know, I am ready to do some business with two Turkic princes. But the virtues of the people in the rivers and lakes, as well as those horse thieves on the grassland, have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and the strong are respected. This time, as long as I, Li Shimin, make a slight concession or give in, not only will I no longer be able to hold on to the share of private salt in Kansai before, but I will not want to do business there in the future, and no one will be able to take the last general in his eyes. ”

Li Shimin looked at Wang Chonggu with a sincere expression: "What's more, this time the last general and Qinglong Villa, but more than two hundred people were killed and injured. May I ask the prince and princess, how can the last general give up?"

Wang Chonggu immediately frowned, speechless for a while.

"Father-in-law can actually rest assured! I guarantee that after this incident, the filial piety that the embroidered brothers deserve will only be more, not less. The last general is not those who are not greedy enough. ”

Li Shimin had already seen the look of uncertainty in Wang Chonggu's eyes, but he smiled back indifferently: "This time, it will not delay the end of the general to track down the Demon Dragon Eight Rebellion Party." This time, in fact, it is both public and private, and I really suspect that the Kansai area is full of those big men and lakes, and they have something to do with the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon. Even if there is no Xue Ju, I want to go on a trip to the relationship recently. In this way, I hereby guarantee to my father-in-law that within a month at most, I will definitely find a way to correct the minions and financial resources of the Demon Dragon Eight Division, and if I can't do it, I will be able to let my father-in-law dispose of it in the end. ”

"It's like a little talk!"

Wang Chonggu couldn't help but look a little dark, and his sharp eyes also tended to soften: "I hope Li Kaifu can remember what you said, if you return empty-handed from Kansai this time, Lao Tzu and I will not let you go easily." ”

"The last general has always been true to his word, and never does anything to deceive others. ”

Li Shimin's voice was sonorous: "But the prince also needs to give me a promise, this trip to Kansai of the last general, I hope that there will be fewer constraints from within the embroidered clothes, the better." ”

"I'll try my best to do this, in the Kansai area, there are not a few old ministers left behind during the first emperor's years. It's an old slave, and many times it's not very useful to talk over there. However, if anyone really dares to act recklessly, you might as well use Shang Fang's sword to cut it down. ”

Wang Chonggu's eyes were cold: "Just don't go too far, Your Majesty is about to leave for Zhuo County." During the second expedition to Liao, it is better to have as few incidents as possible. ”

"The last will understand!"

When Li Shimin said this, he also sighed: "As far as the original intention of the last general, why do you want to start a war with Xue Ju at this time? ”

So when it's time to kill, he will never be soft-hearted, and he won't throw a rat trap.

After returning from the palace, Li Shimin finally had a certain amount of leisure and could concentrate on studying Zhang Yurou's keel Dao soldiers.

He found that this thing's physical fitness was far stronger than he expected. Whether it is strength or speed, it has actually reached the level of first-grade martial arts cultivation. The density of the bones is also terrifying, and the spirit is extremely strong and tenacious, and Li Shimin can't measure the limit of the soul power of this dragon bone dao soldier with a magic test.

Unfortunately, if you continue to increase the strength of the test, it is very likely to damage the outer ban of this soldier spirit.

Other than that, he didn't find anything else wrong, unless he could break this prohibition and study the core of this soldier's spirit.

In Li Shimin's opinion, this layer of ban is not complicated, even if it is destroyed, with his current talisman attainment, it should be able to be repaired.

The problem is the consequences of the destruction - although it seems that these talismans should have nothing to do with the secret art of the Dao Sect or something, but what if?

Li Shimin finally put away the imminent thought and suppressed his curiosity.

This is because he is worried that it will affect Zhang Yurou's magic practice, and the second is because he has already made a promise.

He is a dignified man and a big man, and he can't talk and don't talk.

And after an hour-long measurement, Li Shimin's process of assembling this ink armor has completely entered the fast lane.

The physical strength of the Dragon Bone Dao Soldier was far beyond his imagination. This means that when Li Shimin designed the ink armor, there was no need to consider the feelings and load of the driving 'personnel' in the armor, and only took the performance of the ink armor as the first priority. In addition, due to the thinness of this bone frame, the space that can be used inside the ink armor has also increased greatly.

Li Shimin was able to increase the number of power furnaces from the original one to three, and adjust the power output to the maximum. This is far beyond the earthquake resistance of the ink armor, and the sound of the three power furnaces will make the armor body tremble slightly at all times.

And at this price, when this king-level battle armor accelerates, it will approach, or even reach a level close to the god armor.

In terms of power output, it will also increase to the point of appallation. This will not only affect the handling of this armor, but also cause the driver inside the armor to bear a huge load and recoil force.

- This may be completely unbearable for ordinary martial arts cultivation, but for the dragon bone dao soldiers, it is not a problem at all, and Li Shimin does not have to consider the comfort of this ink armor at all.

He can also inlay as many runes as possible inside the ink armor, and configure many extremely powerful ink armor combat skills.

Then the intelligence of this dragon bone Dao soldier is also very powerful, and his combat consciousness can be completely compared to a real first-rank martial cultivator.

So in this regard, Li Shimin doesn't need to worry at all, he just needs to embed a 'Xuanshu Bead' inside the ink armor. Then adjust it according to the habits and effects of the keel soldier when driving this ink armor, and set up a set of auxiliary driving system. This can also offset the disadvantage of this king-tier armor in terms of control to a certain extent.

It is worth mentioning that this 'Xuanshu Bead' was begged for by him from Qianjizi, and many of the key parts of this ink armor will be made by him after he makes the design drawings and handed over to Qianjizi to refine on his behalf.

Ever since Li Shimin learned that the Demon Dragon Babu might have something to do with the traitors of the Divine Machine Gate, he began to feel at ease and enjoyed all kinds of help provided by the predecessor of the Thousand Machines. If necessary, he can even take the initiative to request support from the Divine Machine Gate, including but not limited to financial, material and human resources.

This time, this dragon bone Dao soldier's ink armor, he must ask the Divine Machine Gate for help. Only Qianjizi, as well as the craftsmen and master craftsmen of the Divine Machine Gate, who are as high as double digits or more, can meet his requirements and refine these king-level ink armor components for him in just a few days.

——These things, either the rune array is complex or the structure is sophisticated, all of which are far beyond Li Shimin's own ability. Even if he had the ability, it would not be possible to do it in a month or two.
