"Da Da Da!"

In the morning of Chang'an City, the pedestrians on the streets are weaving, the shouting of the peddlers and pawns, the chatting and laughing of the people among themselves, the sound of the newspaper boys, and the sound of reading in the Guozijian and Hongwen Pavilion, this kind of sound constitutes the sentient beings in the early morning of Chang'an City!

But in today's Chang'an City, there is a different sound, which is the "click" sound of the iron ingot hitting the bluestone road, crisp and cold, there is a feeling of cold to the bones!

Everyone followed the sound, and suddenly gasped, and saw that a team of heavily armed knights, riding tall horses, marched towards this side in unison, and the hooves of those war horses seemed to be tied to a ball of iron ingots, which led to the crisp "da-da-da" knocking sound on the street.

However, these are not the most critical, the most daunting thing is that a knight at the head of that team is actually covered in iron armor, except for his eyes, no body part is exposed, his head, neck, limbs, hands and feet are all wrapped in iron armor, and even the war horse under his crotch is also dressed in a set of shiny iron horse armor, from a distance, this person looks like a knight directly cast from steel!

Powerful! Cold! Ruthless!

This is the most intuitive feeling that this iron knight gives to the people next to the street, and the people who are close even have a feeling that they are about to suffocate!

Therefore, there is no need for someone to open the way, wherever the Iron Knight goes, the crowd will automatically disperse, which is a kind of deterrence from the soul!

Most people are subconsciously scared of the unknown, let alone this kind of scary Iron Knight!

"Da Da Da!"

This team of knights is still moving forward without hurry, the streets that were still lively before, after this team passed, immediately became quiet, not far away there was a team of Wuhou heard about the abnormality here, immediately rushed over, but after seeing the sergeant next to the iron knight, the Wuhou led by him couldn't help but be stunned, and then waved his hand, and the Wuhou turned around and left directly!

"Sizzle~!"

Seeing this, the surrounding people gasped again, and secretly said What is the origin of this cavalry, and Wuhou hurriedly avoided it when he saw it?

However, although they had doubts in their hearts, no one dared to ask at this time, after all, everyone was afraid of annoying the Iron Knight.

As soon as the strange cavalry had gone away, the people of the streets could not help but talk to each other.

"Oh my God! What was the origin of that cavalryman in armor just now? It looks horrible! It's like the undead cavalry that came out of the underworld! ”

"Snort~! Wang Lao Er, you are saying this as if you have seen the Hell Cavalry! Tut! But the man who was wearing steel armor all over his body was indeed quite evil, and standing beside him, I felt a chill on the soles of my feet! ”

"That's right, that's right! That guy is terrifying! Just now if I didn't cover my third child's mouth, I guess this kid was so scared that he cried on the spot! ”

"How can anyone in this world wrap their whole body in iron armor? Doesn't it affect walking? ”

"That's right! This iron armor is forty or fifty pounds, and the limbs are wrapped in iron, so it is inconvenient to move! ”

"No, no, no! I saw the knight's hand holding the reins and the hand holding the horse's lance, and their movements were very dexterous! ”

"Sizzle! How is that possible? If this is the case, wouldn't this knight be invulnerable to swords and arrows when he goes to battle? ”

"Wow! Really! The whole body of that man, except for his eyes, was wrapped in iron armor, and even the war horse under his crotch was covered with horse armor, who could break his defenses! ”

"Where did this cavalry come from? Why didn't the martial marquis of the Wuhou Mansion stop them? ”

"I ...... I just seem to have seen Commander Pang under Yong'an Hou! ”

"What? Zheng Laoqi, you read that right? ”

"You should be right, I've seen Commander Pang before!"

"Sizzle! Doesn't that mean that this cavalry belongs to the Hou Ye? It can even be said that the person inside that steel armor is Yong'an Hou? ”

“…… Maybe it's possible! I just don't know what the Hou Ye is doing with his troops in Chang'an City? Could it be that Lord Hou wants to ......"

"Smack!"

"What do you think? Think of you! With just a dozen or so cavalrymen, how can they rebel? Besides, Yong'an Hou is an upright and loyal person, and he is even more loyal to His Majesty today, how can he do such a great rebellious act? ”

……………………………………………

The people were talking about the cavalry that suddenly appeared, and at this time, above the court, the early dynasty was also in full swing.

“…… Up to now, more than 100 prefectures and counties close to the Yellow River Basin have built more than 30,000 miles of ditches and more than 4,300 water wheels. ”

In the Taiji Palace, the household is still Xiao? He is reporting to Li Er on the drought situation in various prefectures and counties in Guanzhong.

Li Er, who was sitting at the top, listened to Xiao? After the report, there was no joy on his face, because although the drought in Guanzhong had been greatly alleviated, and the summer harvest would be available in half a month, Li Er always felt that the imperial court had put so much effort into it, and it was very likely that it was "feeding the locusts" in the end!

According to the prophecy left by Li Zexuan before, the locust plague will come soon!

"Hmmm! Xiao Aiqing has worked hard! ”

After a moment, Li Er came back to his senses from his contemplation and nodded.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Wei Zheng took a step forward and arched his hand: "The old minister thinks that the drought in Guanzhong can be alleviated so quickly, and Yong'an Hou is indispensable!" If it weren't for the waterwheel he designed, most of the fertile fields in the Guanzhong area would still be in a state of drought, not to mention rice planting and summer harvesting!

His Majesty has always been rewarded for meritorious service and punished for excesses, so the old minister believes that Yong'an Hou should be rewarded for his work in making the waterwheel and dedicating the waterwheel drawings to the imperial court! ”

Reward! And it's not for yourself!

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but look at Wei Zheng with a strange face, and secretly said when, the dignified Wei Xuancheng would actually help others ask for rewards? It's not like the sun is coming out of the west today!

Cheng Biting Jin stared at Wei Zheng's back with a smile on his face, and secretly said why did this old Wei become more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at it?

But no matter what others think, Wei Zheng himself has no selfish intentions, and the reason why he wants to help Li Zexuan ask for rewards is mainly because of the sentence that Li Zexuan said on the edge of the Bahe River, "If you live in a high temple, you will worry about its people; is far away from the rivers and lakes, and he is worried about Qijun" moved him, he feels that Li Zexuan is a very good junior, worthy of mentioning!

Li Er also glanced at Wei Zheng curiously, and then said lightly: "This matter is not to worry about Wei Aiqing!" This time, Li Zexuan has made meritorious contributions to fighting drought, and I have rewarded him in private! ”

Wei Zheng frowned, and subconsciously thought that Li Er was deliberately perfunctory to him, so he arched his hand and said, "The minister dares to ask how His Majesty rewarded him?" ”

No matter how good Rao is Li Er's temper is, he couldn't help but be a little angry at this time, he frowned and said unhappily: "Huh? Wei Aiqing: Is this suspicious? ”

The coldness in the words can be heard by fools, but Wei Zheng, who is used to seeing big scenes, is not afraid, "The old minister doesn't dare!" ”

Wei Zheng arched his hand.

said that he didn't dare, but with the look on his face, a fool could see that he was duplicitous!

"You ......"

Li Er pointed at Wei Zheng, and wanted to go crazy in the hall, but at this moment, a Jin Wuwei walked in, hugged his fists and said:

"Your Majesty, Yong'an Hou asks to see you!"

Li Er couldn't help but be happy and said, "Hurry up!" Just let Wei Aiqing confront him face to face and see if I have rewarded Yong'an Hou! ”

After saying that, he glanced at Wei Zheng in the hall lightly.

But who knew that Jin Wuwei did not take the order and left, but hesitated: "Your Majesty, please bring troops, wear armor, and ride into the palace!" Said it was to give His Majesty a surprise! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!

The civil and military officials, eunuchs and palace maids were all stunned, and even Li Er couldn't help but be stunned for a while!

Since Qin Shi Huang opened the early dynasty, all dynasties and dynasties, but there has never been a courtier wearing armor, holding weapons, riding a war horse in the early dynasty, this is disrespectful to the emperor, is a big rebellion!

"Ridiculous! Monkey business! ”

Wei Zheng was the first to reprimand: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yong'an is reckless and has no monarch, and the old minister asks Your Majesty to govern the crime of Yong'an Marquis "disturbing the court and seeing no monarch"! ”

Li Er had already recovered from his stunned surprise at this time, and couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Wei Aiqing, you were the one who asked for the reward for Yong'an Hou before, and now you are the one who asks for the punishment of Yong'an Hou's sin. ”

Wei Zheng stiffened his neck and insisted proudly: "Your Majesty, these are completely different things!" Lao Chen also said before, Your Majesty, you have always had clear rewards and punishments, and the places where Yong'an Hou has meritorious deeds should naturally be rewarded, and where there are mistakes, of course they should be punished! ”

Li Er nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay!" A good one deserves a reward, and a deserving punishment is deserved! Someone came, immediately spread the Yong'an Hou to come in, and let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty come to comment, whether the Yong'an Hou is meritorious today, or has it been! ”

"Your Majesty, by all means! Above the court, how can there be courtiers carrying armor and riding horses to the court? ”

Wei Zheng was startled and hurriedly said.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "I have made a decision, right and wrong, after Yong'an Hou goes to the palace, everyone Aiqing will make comments!" ”

Wei Zheng had no choice but to retreat.

His heart was full of questions, and he didn't understand why Li Zexuan had to do such an incomparable thing to bury his future when he obviously had a great future to go.

"Second brother, this ...... Xiao Xuan will be fine, right? ”

Cheng Yanjin looked anxious and whispered to Qin Qiong beside him.

Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "Zhijie, don't be impatient!" Look at the situation, it's not necessarily a bad thing! ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to calm down and wait for Li Zexuan to enter the palace.

In the civil official ranks, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others have been silent, making people wonder what they are thinking!

"Da Da Da!"

It didn't take long for a crisp "da-da-da" sound to be heard outside the hall, and everyone followed the prestige to see a knight wearing silver full-body armor, holding a cold horse lance, riding a war horse wrapped in horse armor, and slowly walked into the main hall!

"Bang bang bang!"

In the face of such a majestic but such a strange cavalry, many officials in the civilian team were so frightened that they took a few steps back, and in the military attache camp, many generals were all eyes shining after seeing the steel cavalry!

It's like the sparkle in a wolf's eyes when it sees its prey!

"Bang!"

Before coming to the team of hundred officials, the iron knight jumped down from his horse nimbly, then pinned the horse lance to the saddle, and hugged his fist at Li Er: "Minister Li Zexuan see Your Majesty!" Today, with soldiers and armor, the main reason is that there is a reason for the incident, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins! ”

Everyone was stunned at the moment!

They were not surprised by what Li Zexuan said, but Li Zexuan's action of just getting off the horse and clenching his fists was done in one go, without any stagnation at all, which made the civil and military officials, especially the generals, almost exclaim in surprise one by one!

Li Er is also an expert in military formations, how can he not see the superiority of the armor on Li Zexuan's body, he waved his hand and said: "Yong'an Hou doesn't have to be polite!" What kind of armor are you wearing? ”

Li Er asked knowingly, because Li Zexuan told him about the new armor a few days ago, and now he asked again, mainly for the civil and military officials.

Li Zexuan also roughly understood what Li Er meant, so he replied: "Back to Your Majesty, what the minister is wearing is the latest vanadium steel plate armor created in the workshop, this armor is not only lighter than the Mingguang armor, but also far superior to the Mingguang armor in terms of defense and defense range. ”

"Plate Armor!"

After listening to Li Zexuan's introduction, all the officials in the palace changed color in shock, and talked in a whisper.

"What? The weight of this plate armor is even lighter than the Mingguang armor, how is this possible? ”

"That's right! This plate armor obviously wraps the whole body, and the Mingguang armor only protects the key parts, how can the plate armor be lighter than Mingguang Kai? ”

"However, this plate armor is indeed very flexible, and Yong'an Hou jumped directly from the horse, which means that this plate armor wearing on the body does not affect normal movements!"

"That alone is amazing! After all, with it, it can protect all parts of the body, and it is completely invincible on the battlefield! ”

"If this kind of plate armor can be fully equipped in the army, then why should my Tang Dynasty be afraid of the Turks?"

"That's right, that's right! A plate cavalry like this can completely destroy the Turks! ”

When the civil and military officials were discussing, Duan Zhixuan suddenly stepped forward at this time, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to try the defensive power of this Mingguang armor in the court!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the hall suddenly fell silent, and the eyes of the civil and military officials looked at Li Er in unison.

Li Er pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Accurate!" ”
