Emperor Guangzhao immediately tore up the letter, and then issued an order to the local administrators in various places according to the meaning of her letter.

At a critical juncture, time is a qiē, so Emperor Guangzhao immediately took action, the purpose of which was to effectively stop it from happening.

Chu Zihou, the king of Qingping, came in from outside, saw Emperor Guangzhao's grim face, and hurriedly asked, "Father, has something happened?" ”

"Hou'er, I just received a letter secretly sent by Guang'an Hou from the ball country." After that, Emperor Guangzhao informed him of the contents of her letter.

Chu Zihou's expression couldn't help but change.

"It seems that her situation over there is also dangerous, otherwise she would definitely not have informed them of the method of making the new weapon." Chu Zihou said.

"Yes, I have a hunch that there may be a more fierce competition between us and the ball country in the future."

"I don't know how she's been over there in the past six months, and Erchen is very worried about her now." Chu Zihou said.

"Hou'er, Jiren has her own natural appearance, not to mention that she is such a witty person, let's wait for her news." Emperor Guangzhao patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Uh-huh, I hope so." Chu Zihou replied.

Looking at Chu Zihou's handsome face, which had lost a lot of weight, Emperor Guangzhao was also quite touched, and said, "You have lost a lot of weight in the past six months, you must miss her very much, right?" ”

Chu Zihou nodded.

Since she left Xi Kingdom, except for occasionally going to see Du Qiniang and Shen Xibin and others, he basically went to the court and read books, and rarely met with other people.

Today, he lives a quiet, regular and restrained life. It's like a monk.

But even so, there are still many people who guard against him from the bottom of their hearts, especially the crown prince.

The prince often warned him privately - to know his place.

The meaning of these words couldn't be more obvious - the prince didn't want Chu Zihou to be too sharp in front of people. To be exact. I don't want Chu Zihou to be sharper than him.

He smiled bitterly when he looked at the prince's wary look when he looked at him, as long as the prince's own behavior was not excessive, of course he would not act against the prince.

Chu Zihou knew that the prince's military power was still firmly in the hands of Emperor Guangzhao, and the prince was not in a good mood, so he would be in a short mood from time to time. This may not be visible to others, because the prince hides it well. But Chu Zihou can still easily see it.

That's right, the prince, who learned a profound lesson from that lockdown, did try very hard to hide his impulsive and angry personality in front of people, but he still couldn't help but occasionally burst out in front of those closest to him.

Now. Emperor Guangzhao built the prince's mansion for him, so he, Huayueyu, and the lord of Shenxiu moved out of the palace and lived in the prince's mansion.

The Prince's Mansion is very close to the Imperial Palace, which is also a special arrangement of Emperor Guangzhao. In order to facilitate the prince's entry into the palace to discuss matters.

Another day. The crown prince, who had returned from the previous dynasty, sat in the courtyard of the prince's mansion and drank alcohol.

One cup, one cup, the more I drank, the more I felt sad.

Hua Yue's ballad was in his eyes, anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

"Prince, you better drink less, drinking it like this will spoil your body." Hua Yueyu looked at him with extremely distressed eyes and said softly. While walking towards him with the county lord in his arms.

"How can I get rid of the anguish in my heart except by drinking? I'm useless. Not only can't he save his mother, but he can't even get his military power back. Crown Princess, Crown Princess. You sue me, am I living a failure? Chu Zican looked at her with red eyes and asked.

Hua Yueyu's eyes also turned red instantly, and he hurriedly comforted: "Perhaps, the emperor still doesn't believe in you very much, so you have to work harder, maybe you can work harder." ”

With a "snap", the prince threw the wine glass in his hand against the wall vigorously.

He had heard this sentence a lot, so he felt disgusted.

The glass fell to the ground with a thud from the wall.

Hua Yueyu had never seen him lose his temper so much, and he was immediately frightened, and he hurriedly knelt down at him and said: "If there is something wrong with the concubine's body, you can use the concubine body to vent your anger, just please don't throw things anymore, it's not good for others to see it, and it's not good for the growth of the county lord." ”

Chu Zican was stunned for a moment and lowered his head.

"Prince, think about the year you were grounded, the scope of our activities was limited to the Meditation Garden, at that time you did not have the slightest resentment towards the emperor, but always reflected on your past many wrongs, the concubine body is so fond of that state of mind of you. In the mind of the concubine, no matter where you are, you are a hero in the concubine's body and mind, so please cheer up, take 10,000 steps back, you still have me and the county lord. Hua Yueyu said with tears in her eyes.

Listening to her earnest words, Chu Zican's eyes turned red again.

Hua Yueyu moved a little closer to him, held his hand and said, "The concubine body just wants to say - even in that environment, you can have such a good attitude, now you can move around the whole Xi Kingdom, and still retain the identity of the crown prince, isn't it much better than what you had at that time?" If you can think so, the concubine believes that the emperor will slowly feel your heart, and at that time, isn't it a matter of course for the six rates of the East Palace to return to your hands? ”

After hearing her words, the prince was immediately ashamed, he slowly leaned down to help her up, and said solemnly: "You are really a virtuous concubine, thanks to your reminder, otherwise I don't know what kind of joke I would have made and how many people who cared about me would have saddened." From this day forward, I promise you that I will never dwell on this again. As you say - treat them with a normal heart, and when the time comes, they will come back to me. ”

Hua Yueyu broke into a smile and nodded vigorously at him.

Chu Zican hugged her and the Shenxiu County Lord in her arms together, quietly enjoying the rarest and warmest family affection in the world.

Yes, if nothing else, doesn't he have a woman who loves him dearly and a lovely daughter?

Even if it's just for them, he should cheer up.

Thinking like this, his whole body instantly sobered up.

………………………

"Your Majesty, the crown prince has been banned for more than half a year, and his appearance in the past half a year is indeed remarkable, and I hope that the emperor will consider the matter of the military power of the six rates of the East Palace." In the Zichen Palace, the left and right prime ministers Shangguan Sichong and Shi Weihong admonished Emperor Guangzhao.

Emperor Guangzhao smiled indifferently and asked, "What do the two prime ministers mean - I should return the military power of the sixth rate of the East Palace to him?" ”

He glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

"Honestly, why don't I want to give him back the power of the army? But every time I think of the things he did with Empress Wenci back then, my heart is still cold, although I forgave him, it doesn't mean that I really feel completely at ease with him. ”

The two prime ministers glanced at each other again, and then, Shi Weihong admonished: "Your Majesty, now that you have the protection of King Qingping and the three princes, Weichen thinks that this worry is unnecessary. Besides, if you really want to try turbidity with the crown prince, wouldn't it be a wonderful arrangement to give him military power? ”

Emperor Guangzhao's eyes lit up when he heard him say this, and he said with a smile: "There is some truth in what the Prime Minister said, then I will listen to you, I will announce this matter to the civil and military officials tomorrow." ”

"My Emperor is wise!" The prime ministers on the left and right hurriedly thanked him.

The next day, Emperor Guangzhao announced the matter in the court.

The crown prince, who heard the news, was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Guangzhao to thank him.

"Prince, since the military power has been handed over to you, I hope you will work harder in the future and live up to everyone's high expectations for you." Emperor Guangzhao looked at him and said.

"Nuo, father, the son will definitely be ashamed and brave." Chu Zican hurriedly replied.

The civil and military officials were also happy for the crown prince, and everyone knelt down towards Emperor Guangzhao and shouted, "My emperor is wise, and the emperor's grace is mighty." ”

Knowing that the military power had returned to Chu Zican's hands, Hua Yueyu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked people to prepare worship supplies - she was going to the temple to burn incense and thank the gods of heaven and earth.

Since he had the power of the army, the crown prince felt that he had a lot more confidence to speak, and he was full of smiles when he saw anyone, and his attitude towards Emperor Guangzhao was more respectful than before.

Emperor Guangzhao sighed slightly: "What kind of father-son relationship?" It's not as good as the status of military power in his mind. ”

Although he thought so in his heart, he was still very happy when he saw the crown prince who seemed to be a different person.

……………….

However, it is said that after receiving the new weapon making method provided by Xi Zhen, Kui Da, immediately ordered the relevant departments to immediately purchase a large amount of stone flow yellow, earth nitrate, and charcoal to manufacture these three weapons in large quantities.

The leaders of the relevant departments immediately took the order.

Within five days, someone came back and reported that the amount of stone flow yellow and earth nitrate in the country was limited, and that less than 3,000 gunpowder arrows and 5,000 gunpowder packs were used up.

"Is there really such a lack of these two things in the world?" Kui Da asked the reporter in disbelief.

"King Qiyu, this is a fact, Weichen doesn't dare to make a false report." The newspaper person was busy talking.

"So you have to buy these two materials from other countries?" Kui Da thought to himself.

If you buy from other countries, the price is much more expensive, and you don't know how much you can buy.

"Guang'an Hou, is Xi Country rich in these three materials?" Kui Da asked Xizhen.

"Back to the king, it is not abundant, when Xi Kingdom made these three weapons, they secretly went to Mao Kingdom to buy raw materials."

"Oh, how much did you buy from Mao Guo back then?"

Xizhen immediately inflated a number.

"Oh, I don't know how many there are over there, so let's send someone to inquire about the news. By the way, Lone also bought some from your country by the way. ”

"Okay, the king can write to ask, but as far as the courtiers know, when Xi Guo made this new weapon, these three materials were basically used up, and now I am afraid it may not be able to meet your needs."

Kui Da's face changed.

However, he quickly adjusted, and said with a smile: "Ask and then count." (To be continued......)
