In the morning, Li Shimin opened his eyes, and with the memory of last night's drunkenness came deep regret.

"Aifei I told you, this Ye Lin was given to me by God, since I ascended the throne, there have been natural disasters in various places, and there are many ghosts and ghosts who take the opportunity to make trouble, and those rumors of heavenly punishment even have no bottom in my heart, until I met Ye Lin, I was firm, and this position should be mine."

"Is this Ye Lin really as powerful as His Majesty said? The concubine was a little curious......"

"Aifei told you, this leaf is in the treatment of floods, the elimination of locusts, and the preparation of refined salt......"

Li Shimin sighed heavily, after last night's indulgence, he said a lot of things that should not be said, Ye Lin's affairs should have been a top secret of the Tang Dynasty, but now it is good that Li Shimin knows Yang Shufei's character, and it won't be long before the entire harem will know that there is a strange person in the Tang Dynasty.

A pair of jade arms were wrapped around Li Shimin's chest, and Concubine Yang Shu, whose face was slightly red, said in a hazy voice: "Your Majesty, do you remember last night that you promised your concubine to let Ge'er be Ye Lin's apprentice?" ”

"Ahh I even promised you this last night? ”

Li Shimin suddenly sobered up a lot, which Ye Lin only promised an apprentice that position, which Li Shimin specially asked for the crown prince Li Chengqian, and Li Ge, the king of Wu, was also his own son, but after all, he could not inherit the throne because of the blood of Emperor Yang of Sui.

"What's the matter, if Your Majesty doesn't handle this matter, the concubines won't force it."

Seeing this, Yang Shufei immediately retreated as the way forward, these words fell into Li Shimin's ears Li Shimin suddenly felt a dilemma, as a king, he promised his own woman's affairs that he couldn't do, on the other hand, it involved Ye Lin's affairs, this is the opportunity that Li Shimin and the eldest grandson worked hard to get Li Chengqian, if he gave Li Ge, the king of Wu, how would he explain to the eldest grandson! In addition, Li Ge, who is the king of Wu, is outstanding among the princes, and if he follows Ye Lin and learns the Tao, he will definitely become a strong competitor on Li Chengqian's road in the future.

"Ai Concubine, this matter involves the crown prince and I want to discuss it with the queen, Ge'er is also my son, even if I can't learn from Ye Lin, I won't let Ge'er suffer."

Li Shimin got up and started to dress as he spoke, Concubine Yang raised her head and said to Li Shimin in front of the bed: "The concubine has no intention of competing with the queen, and I also believe that Your Majesty will not treat Ge'er badly, no matter what Your Majesty decides, the concubine will listen to Your Majesty." ”

After Yang Shufei finished speaking, she lowered her head, and Li Shimin leaned down again to hold Yang Shufei's hand and said: "I have wronged Concubine Ai, Ye Lin's matter is a top secret of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what I said last night, if someone asks about Concubine Ai, you must help me keep it secret, the less people know about Ye Lin, the better." ”

Yang Shufei nodded, and only after Li Shimin went out did Yang Shufei speak: "Xiaoqiu, you go and send the osmanthus wine in the wine cellar to the eldest grandson Niangniang, there is not much left of this wine, and the saint loves it very much, so give it to the eldest grandson queen." ”

A maid came out of nowhere, listened to what Yang Shufei said and bowed away, the expression on Yang Shufei's face gradually became solemn, last night Li Shimin said something about Ye Lin to himself, but it was just some words similar to the boasting of a drunken man, and Yang Concubine wanted Wu Wang Li Ge and Ye Lin to learn Taoism is just tentatively talking, she doesn't really plan to let a prince learn Taoism with a Taoist priest, just now I saw that His Majesty meant to let the prince Li Chengqian and Ye Lin learn Taoism, then this is too absurd, a prince of a country to become a Taoist monk, No dynasty has ever had such a ridiculous thing happen.

Concubine Yang Shu thought for a long time, Wu Wang Li Ge is not bad among the princes, but unfortunately no matter how good he is, the chance of competing for that position is very slim. The crown prince Li Chengqian is the first heir to the throne, and he is deeply recognized by the courtiers, the prince's status is almost unshakable, and when the prince succeeds to the throne, Li Ge, who is now in charge of the army, will undoubtedly become a threat to the prince, and now the prince is benevolent and generous, but once he reaches that position, who is sure that people will not change? Concubine Yang wants to find a way back for Li Ge, a back road that can stay away from the royal family for life.

……

In the blacksmith shop not far from the duckweed courtyard, Ye Lin was talking to the topless blacksmith with the drawings he had drawn.

Who knew that the blacksmith looked at Ye Lin's drawings and said: "We can't do your flying knife here, if you want to create this kind of sharp weapon with blood grooves, please go to the blacksmith camp in the Chang'an official mansion, we will play some farm tools here at most, I'm really embarrassed!" ”

Ye Lin put away the drawings and wondered: "Is Datang so strictly controlled now?" ”

The blacksmith said, "Be strict! To put it mildly, you can kill people with this thing, fight here with me, if something happens, the government will be held responsible, you go to the government to register, it's not very troublesome, the government can rest assured. ”

Ye Lin nodded, and was about to leave to look at a few drawings on the stove, Ye Lin stepped forward to take a look, frowned, and said, "Do you know what this thing is?" ”

The blacksmith glanced at the drawings and said, "I said that it was a few parts, and I didn't say what it was, but Dao Chief, can you see what this is?" ”

Ye Lin said: "Have these parts been typed out?" ”

"It's all out, the white-clothed guest said that he came to pick it up today, it is estimated that it should be coming soon" After the blacksmith finished speaking, Ye Lin turned around and left without saying anything.

The drawing on the drawings of several parts Ye Lin knows, three force wheels, three auxiliary wheels, three machine beams, coincidentally this kind of several parts of the real Ye Lin have seen, not long ago Chongzhou city wall on the bed crossbow core is these parts. It's really interesting, a small flying knife has to go to the government to make it, but the bed crossbow that can wear iron armor can be made in this small blacksmith shop.

Soon after Ye Lin left, a young man in white stepped into the blacksmith shop, chatted with the blacksmith for a few words, and then brought the finished parts to the carriage.

Inside the carriage, the young man in white said to several people in ink with a cold face: "Someone recognized the bed crossbow. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the carriage became solemn, and the young man in white said again: "It's a Taoist priest, he is not very old, he went to the Chang'an official mansion to build a flying knife, and his life is too variable for the plan." ”

"Understood, young master, I'll shut him up!" A man in ink said coldly.

The young man in white took out a crossbow in the dark compartment of the carriage and said slowly: "There are only three crossbow arrows, return quickly." ”

The man in ink took the crossbow arrow and hid it in his clothes and jumped out of the carriage, the car was quiet again, the carriage marched, passing by a prosperous and solemn place, several people in the car raised their heads one after another, the young man in white gritted his teeth even more, and soon the carriage went away, the man in white took a deep breath and closed the window and said: "If this revenge is not avenged, how can the tens of thousands of unjust souls who died in the war in Youzhou let me go!" ”
