"It's all my fault, if it weren't for the husband's concern about the concubine, how could he have put down the whole army and rushed back to Chang'an City at full speed." In the Mo Mansion, Princess Changle said with a guilty face.

Merton shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, the husband has promised to rush back before you give birth, but unexpectedly, there was an accident of the Tubo ambush on the way, since ancient times, the family and the country have been in a dilemma, and the husband can not only lead the firearms supervisor to return victorious, bring it back to the Tang Dynasty safely, but also rush back to Chang'an City in time, it is already a fluke." ”

"No, the husband was punished because of the concubine, and the palace went to plead with his father." Changle suddenly got up and said with a resolute face.

Merton hurriedly grabbed her and said with a wry smile: "However, leaving the army for the sake of the general, this is a taboo in the art of war, a mistake is a mistake, and it is natural to be punished by this, and besides, my husband has just been running around for more than half a year, and now His Majesty has removed me from my official position, so I just took the opportunity to accompany you." ”

Princess Changle gave up at this time, and snorted coldly: "Don't use firearms and sacrificial wine, so as not to go to the battlefield again in the future, and make the concubine worry day and night." ”

In the eyes of Princess Changle, the firearms supervisor wine is a martial profession, I don't know when I will be sent to the battlefield again, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, in case I encounter such a crisis like the Tibetan ambush firearms supervisor, I am afraid that there will not be such good luck, this martial arts position is not good.

However, Princess Changle didn't know that the martial arts that seemed dangerous to her was an excellent opportunity for many people to soar, that was the world's most powerful firearms supervisor, who would lead this thousand-strong army and control the gunpowder, and the future combat exploits would not be at their fingertips.

All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of civil and military generals who wanted to seek the position of firearms supervisor and sacrificial wine, which made Li Shimin very annoyed.

"Yu Zhining is a big thing for me." In the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin looked at the piles of twists and turns in front of him, and couldn't help but say hatefully.

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Empress Changsun said softly on the side, although from a personal point of view, the Mo family rushed back thousands of miles to return when Princess Changle was in labor, which made them very happy to be parents, but from the perspective of military law, the Mo family did leave behind the soldiers and violated the military law, otherwise she would have interceded for Mo Dun a long time ago.

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "I am not accusing Yu Zhining of committing a straightforward admonition, but although Yu Zhining is justified in this matter, he let Merton, a slippery catfish, escape. ”

"Catfish? That's a son-in-law! Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and said: "The reason why I trapped Merton in the officialdom is the same as I threw him into the Guozijian is based on the catfish effect, Guanyin, have you ever found that Merton has been in charge of the Mo family in the past few years, and the entire Mo family has developed rapidly, although it has provoked a hundred schools of thought, and hundreds of schools of thought have gone hand in hand, but it is obvious that the development speed of the Mo family far exceeds that of the other hundreds, and I will no longer use officialdom to trap Merton, the Mo family is no longer a catfish that stirs up wind and rain, but has grown into a whale that devours everything." ”

He finally pulled the Mo family into the officialdom and stabilized the pattern of the hundred schools, and now that Mo Dun has resigned, he will definitely go all out to run the Mojia Village, and the situation of a hundred schools of thought will soon become a monopoly, which is not what Li Shimin wants to see.

"Then let's just reinstate Officer Merton!" Empress Eldest Sun frowned.

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "It's too late, Merton pleaded guilty in court, and the ministers of the court heard it with their own ears, if they are not punished, I am afraid that everyone will not accept it." ”

"For today's plan, then first find a stable person to temporarily replace the firearms priest and wine." Empress Eldest Sun said thoughtfully.

Li Shimin shook his head slightly, gunpowder is the biggest secret of the Tang Dynasty, one more person knows, then there is one more possibility of leaking, and if you are proficient in gunpowder, I am afraid it must be the Mo family, and it may be useless to change someone else.

"Your Majesty, don't bother with these troubles, the concubine has a happy event to discuss with Your Majesty, it just so happened that Wuji entered the palace today to meet the palace, and just talked about the marriage between Chong'er and Gao Yang!" Empress Eldest Sun's voice changed.

Li Shimin sighed slightly: "It's been difficult to rush all these years, I've been waiting for so many years, and now that Gao Yang is sixteen, it's time for them to get married." ”

"Since this is the case, then the concubine will reply to her brother and let the hard-working mandarin ducks get married at the end of the year!" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

Li Shimin nodded and agreed: "This matter will be handed over to you, and it must be done." ”

Empress Eldest Sun nodded, and then drifted away.

After Empress Changsun left, Li Shimin took out a copy of the folds piled up in front of him, which was a letter recommending the new firearms priest, but the recommended candidate was Changsun Chong.

To say that the doctor broke out the harm of close relatives marrying back then, in the eyes of the royal family, it was naturally Princess Changle's reputation that was damaged the most, but in fact, there was another victim, that is, Changsun Chong.

Although in order to compensate Changsun Chong, the royal family ignored the voluntary wave of both parties to the marriage and forcibly married Changsun Chong and Princess Gaoyang, but everyone knew that Changsun Chong was still wronged.

And now although this recital is played by other officials, Li Shimin understands that it must be the instruction of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji asked the eldest grandson queen to talk about the marriage of the eldest grandson Chong and Princess Gaoyang, and at the same time asked the eldest grandson to ask for an official position, just to seek a future for the eldest grandson Chong, obviously the firearms were in the eyes of the eldest grandson Chong.

Moreover, the eldest grandson Chong and Mo Jiazi are of the same age, they are both five-grade officials, with a bright future, and they are both relatives of the emperor and are deeply trusted by Li Shimin, so they are the best candidates to replace Mo Dun in any case.

"This time I will compensate you, I hope you will not live up to my expectations." Li Shimin thought about it for a long time, and with a wave of his big hand, he made a batch of red on the fold.

However, Li Shimin did not hand over all the firearms superintendents to Changsun Chong, but divided the firearms superintendent into two, divided into firearms superintendent and firearms army, the firearms superintendent was responsible for continuing to develop gunpowder weapons, and the world-famous firearms army was handed over to Changsun Chong.

Soon, the news that the firearms supervisor was divided into two, and Changsun Chong got the firearms army, came from the government and the opposition, and everyone was in an uproar.

"Thinking about it, I'm afraid that Changsun Chong is indeed the best candidate." Many people are the first to say, there are few people in the Tang Dynasty who can be compared with the Mo family, and the qualifications and status of the eldest grandson Chong are rare.

"Your Majesty has divided the firearms supervisor into two, and the eldest grandson Chong has obtained the firearms army, and the position of the firearms supervisor is probably still reserved for the Mo family." Another official analyzed.

"It's a pity, no matter how good the Mo family's firearms and sacrificial wine are, they can only make a wedding dress for the eldest grandson Chong." A Wenchen sighed.

"The eldest grandson Chong is a civil official, how can he lead troops to fight." Many generals were dissatisfied that the firearms army was the most offensive branch of the army and should belong to the military, but it fell into the hands of civilian officials.

"Mo Jiazi has not practiced martial arts, and he is not leading the firearms supervisor to be famous all over the world." Wenchen supported Changsun Chongdao one after another.

A military general snorted coldly: "How can it be compared, the Mo family is from the Mo family, and the Mo family's attack is the Mo family's mastery, as for the eldest grandson Chong, it is not necessarily." ”

Wen Chen said indifferently: "So what, there is gunpowder, who is the enemy in the world." ”

Suddenly everyone's breath was stagnant, the western expedition was a battle, the gunpowder shined, even the Mo family, who did not understand martial arts, could lead the firearms supervisor to defeat the five thousand Tubo cavalry, the appearance of gunpowder, even the powerless people could ignite the gunpowder, personal bravery is no longer the factor that determines the war, and the glory of the generals is about to end.
