Chapter 31 Yushu Linfeng
Wearing a "sinister helmet" and wearing tin-plated mountain pattern armor, Zhang Qian took all the officials of the Ordnance Supervisor above the ninth rank and stood solemnly at the main gate of the Ordnance Superintendent, waiting for the arrival of Li Xian, the Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Guard. (Note: The helmet is a kind of standard helmet in the Tang Dynasty, with a three-dimensional decorating on the forehead.) )
Ren Cong, Guo Nu, Wang Jun and others were also all dressed in tin-plated armor and dressed as martial artists. Under the winter light, the whole team was shining. Like a sword that has just been unsheathed, ready to kill the world's enemies for the Tang Dynasty at any time!
It was the middle of winter, and the north wind was a little hard, blowing through the gaps in the armor and clothes, blowing on people's stomachs, backs, etc., swishing and cooling. However, the entire ordnance prison did not complain. Everyone worked hard to stand up and stand up straight!
At this moment, even ordinary people who are hypocritical will not secretly complain in their hearts, their Zhang Shaojian burned his bag and put a good official robe and did not wear it, but he had to let everyone dress up as a military general.
The reason is very simple: first, the armor on everyone's body, whether it is a mountain script, a black hammer, or a chain, is made by the Ordnance Supervision Armor and Staff Department. Whether the quality is good or bad, everyone is dedicated to building armor, it is all up to others to say, and the Dragon Emperor Li Xian has no effort to see it at all. And today, since the Holy Lord has come to the Ordnance Prison, of course, everyone will take out the best products for him to see for himself! (Note: Mountain patterns, black hammers, and chains are all one of the thirteen types of armor in the Tang Dynasty.) )
Second, the armor on everyone's bodies, after being fine-tuned by Young Eunuch Zhang in details, is indeed more dressed than the green robes and green robes of civil officials. Even the fat yellow man with a big belly and a crossbow seems to be ten years younger after putting on his helmet and armor. After the others are dressed, they are even more graceful and heroic!
As for the third? You can't say it.
On such a solemn occasion, wearing civil official robes, it is inevitable to salute the emperor, servants, scholars, and even a series of bigwigs in the court. Even if you just bow down every time, you have to bend everyone's waist so much that it hurts and hurts all day. And with a helmet and armor, you can "forgive your subordinates for not being able to perform full salutes in their armor", why don't you do it?!
Facts have also proved that Zhang Qian's arrangement is indeed the right way. Although Li Xian, the Emperor of Yingtian Shenlong, had just finished reviewing the Imperial Forest Army, he was used to seeing the majestic appearance of the athletes. The moment his feet stepped out of the Imperial Palace, his eyes still lit up instantly for the image displayed by the officials of the Ordnance Prison.
Clean, neat, neat, especially when Zhang Qian led the officials of the Ordnance Prison, crossed his hands on his chest at the same time, and shouted "Ministers and other respects to welcome the holy driver", more than 40 civilian officials actually gave people a sense of elite in a hundred battles. The Thousand Bull Scepters who were guarding the front and back of the Imperial Bowl were immediately overshadowed. (Note: The Thousand Bull Scepter, a grassroots member of the Thousand Niu Guard, is equivalent to the royal honor guard.) )
"Nonsense!" In the team that accompanied Emperor Yingtian Dragon Li Xian to inspect, there were immediately several old and serious civil officials, and they frowned angrily. However, the generals in the team were all attracted by the armor on Zhang Qian and the others, and they were itching one by one. If it weren't for the fear that Li Xian himself hadn't made a move, he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately and personally rip off this batch of armor from Guo Nu and the others to test the quality!
"All the ministers are exempt!" Fortunately, Li Xian didn't let everyone wait for a long time, and after getting used to it a little, he smiled and waved his hand to Zhang Qian and the others, "Today's dress really makes me feel refreshed." Don't know whose idea it was? What do you do? ”
"Thank you!" Zhang Qian took the lead, and according to the routine that he had rehearsed in advance, he shouted again. Suddenly, there was another burst of armor and a cold light shone.
When the sound of armor clashing gradually subsided, the beating cold light also returned to silence. Zhang Qian, the initiator, stepped forward, crossed his hands on his chest, and solemnly returned to Li Xian, "It is Wei Chen's idea to let all the ordnance supervision officials greet each other in armor. In order to wait for the Holy Lord to take his seat, he will personally demonstrate to the Holy Lord the divine weapon recently created by our Ordnance Superintendent! ”
"Divine weapons?" Li Xian's attention, as Zhang Qian had expected, was quickly attracted by his words. A hint of joy instantly appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, please take your seat. The main culprit of the weapon, Wei Chen did not dare to let His Majesty risk his life. So a high platform was erected nearby. After Your Majesty and all the officials take the stage, you can take in the display of your ministers! Zhang Qian smiled and stretched out his hand, leading Li Xian's gaze to the temporary stand not far away, every movement was clean and neat.
"Oh, interesting, interesting. Zhang Qing is attentive! Li Xian looked at the freshness, and felt fresh when he listened to it, turned his eyes to the high platform, and nodded slightly.
"Hmm!" The military department Shangshu Zong Chuke, who followed the imperial court, was a little unhappy. coughed lightly, and walked out quickly, "Holy Lord, Gao Tai was built by the young superintendent of military weapons on his own initiative, without inspection by the Ministry of Engineering, and without being searched by Qianniuwei......
"It's okay, I can trust Zhang Qing!" Li Xian glanced at Zhang Qian's young and white face, and interrupted Zong Chuke's advice with a smile. More than 40 windmills and shafts have been erected around Chang'an. So far, none of them have had problems. ”
'The windmill and the machine shaft are all supervised by Bi Gou, and they have nothing to do with Zhang Qian! Zong Chuke muttered secretly in his heart, but it was inconvenient to have a hard face with Li Xian in front of so many people. He frowned and stepped back.
Seeing that the Shenlong Emperor saw Zhang Qian so pleasing to the eye today, the rest of the officials who originally wanted to take the opportunity to find some fault in the ordnance prison also decisively stopped.
The position of the junior superintendent of the ordnance superintendent is far less important than that of a foreigner in the six departments. And today, unless everyone can pick out the irreparable omissions, otherwise, they can't shake the emperor's favor for Zhang Qian.
If it's useless, why bother? If you can't get it right, the ordnance supervisor didn't pick out the "bones" in the egg, but instead rubbed a body of egg yolk protein, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?
"Holy Lord, please forgive the micro-ministers for trespassing, and lead the way for you!" After waiting for a few breaths, seeing that no one else spoke out to stop him, Zhang Qian smiled again and decisively led the way for Li Xian and the bigwigs.
"Hmm!" Li Xian was in a very good mood today, and immediately nodded with a smile. Immediately, under the escort of many thousand cattle and the main staffs, he walked towards the high platform, and asked with a smile: "The mountain pattern armor on Zhang Qing's body today seems to be slightly different from the mountain pattern armor I saw before?" But I didn't see the difference. I don't know if Zhang Qing is willing to explain a thing or two to me? ”
"It is the honor of Weichen to serve the saint!" Zhang Qian had already recorded it in his stomach, slowed down, turned sideways, and arched his hand with a smile, "This armor is made daily by the Ordnance Supervision Armor Staff Department, and Weichen has not made major changes." Weichen just imitated the style of the lighting armor, and ordered someone to plate a layer of tin on the armor ring. In order to interfere with the enemy's line of sight during the battle. In addition......"
Lest Li Xian couldn't remember, he paused deliberately, and he added with a smile: "In addition, on the shoulder, two pieces of stainless steel armor were added. One adds a layer of protection to the generals, and the other is that some markings can also be added to the armor, so that the soldiers can distinguish each other's identities and ranks on the battlefield! ”
"Identification?" Li Xian's eyes lit up again, and he asked casually.
"Your Majesty, please look!" Zhang Qian stopped and half-squatted so that Li Xian could see his left shoulder pad clearly. It was a smooth steel plate, polished to the bare light. However, in the center of the steel plate, there is a bar inlaid with red copper, a five-pointed star, which is particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the silver-white steel plate.
"Weichen is a civil official of the fifth grade, if he changes his career to a military position, he is equivalent to a general. Therefore, there is a golden beam and a star on the shoulder pads. If it is a military general whose position is above Weichen, he will be promoted by one level and added a star. There is a beam for the positive, no beam for the slave! The pentagram is the top and the four-pointed star is the bottom. ”
These are actually the most basic elements of school uniforms in another time and space. He borrowed it and didn't waste his brainpower at all. And the mountain pattern armor, which is an advanced variant of chain mail, is relatively soft. It's easy to add a pair of shoulder pads.
"Ahem......" Zong Chuke heard it well from a close distance, and couldn't help but cough lightly again.
"Holy forgiveness, Weichen This is just an idea, and he hasn't had time to play yet, and he won't put it into practice without authorization. How to increase it will have to wait for His Majesty to see it today, and then discuss it with the ministers before making a decision! "Zhang Qianquan was a kind reminder to himself when he was a guest and added decisively. Immediately, he raised his right hand and took off the guard on his left shoulder very simply.
"Hmm!" Hearing Zong Chuke's hint, but Lu Zhengming, who didn't have time to stand up and find Zhang Qian's trouble, snorted angrily.
And Li Xian, the Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, was happy when he saw Hunting, and took the shoulder guard from Zhang Qian's hand with a smile, and gently rubbed it with his fingers, "Interesting, interesting, although it is a small change, it can add a lot of convenience, Zhang Qing is attentive, you wear it first." When I go back, I'll give it to me to ponder. ”
"Yes!" Zhang Qian arched his hand, took the shoulder pads, and simply reassembled the stop.
He was originally tall and white, which "matched" the silver armor very well. And the shoulder guard, although it is only two small pieces of narrow, but the overall shape of the mountain armor is a big stretch, and after it is installed, it makes his whole person look like a jade tree in the wind.
Li Xian saw it clearly from a close distance, his mind suddenly moved slightly, he suddenly turned his head, looked at a certain position in the team behind him, and nodded with a smile.
And among the ministers who followed Li Xian, there were also a few people in the family who had daughters who had just been married, and they couldn't help muttering in their hearts. In terms of future, appearance, knowledge, and ability to do things, this young eunuch is definitely the choice of a first-class son-in-law. It's a pity that his background is unknown, and he is not a real prince, so he promised his daughter to him, which is inevitably aggrieved.
Just when everyone was secretly arguing in their hearts, Zhang Qian had already taken another step and led more than 60 Qianniu preparers and Qianniu main staff to the high platform first. Walked around repeatedly, and jumped several times in groups, making sure there was no risk of shaking, collapsing. Only then did he walk down quickly with everyone, and bowed to invite Li Xian, the Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, to take the stage.
Seeing that he was so careful and careful, Li Xian couldn't help but quietly approve in his heart. Immediately, he waved behind him with a smile, and led Xiao Zhizhong, Yang Qi, Zong Chuke, Ji Chu Ne, and other senior officials to slowly go up along the wooden steps.
In order to avoid crowding, Zhang Qian deliberately learned the style of another time-space viewing platform and built the grandstand extremely wide. And the seats of different levels were arranged in advance, and the "dragon chair" left for Li Xian was surrounded by stars in the center of the front row like the moon.
Because the recognition is clear enough, there is no need for Zhang Qian to lead the seat, and Li Xian, the son of the Divine Dragon, and the ministers of civil and military affairs quickly took their places. And the princes who followed Li Xian to watch the excitement together, or accepted the teaching by words and deeds, also quickly found the vacant seats specially reserved for them on Li Xian's side, and sat down one after another.
To Zhang Xian's great surprise, his friend who had just met not long ago, Li Fengyu from the Shang Bao Bureau, actually came today. It's just that he was not responsible for driving the car for the emperor, but dressed as a guard, and led a group of brothers to form a circle around the viewing platform, secretly on guard.
Seeing Zhang Qian's gaze towards him, this person immediately began to squeeze his eyebrows. In an instant, the expression on his face was so mysterious!
