The yellowish foliage is carried away from the tree by a passing whirlwind, or rises into the air and dances, or floats to the low lying, becoming part of the soil. This marks the end of the scorching heat and the arrival of a cool autumn.

"Old man's words don't count!"

A shout came from inside the Yunfeng Pavilion, as if it was going to shake away the fallen leaves nearby, making the ground near the Yunfeng Pavilion clean and tidy.

The guards on duty outside the door didn't seem to hear his highness's rebellious words, and continued to carry out their tasks, and the guards patrolling here were already no longer surprised. Since the ban on the five princes came into effect, the "bold" five princes have to complain in the Yunfeng Pavilion every day, and the guards didn't know whether they should report it at first, but then they received a message from the inner servant, so they let the five highnesses say it casually.

"Ah, my Highness! Be quiet! In the Yunfeng Pavilion, a shrill voice persuaded Ji Yu.

Looking at the voice, a little eunuch with a tall and thin body, a delicate face, white and feminine, and a meticulous eunuch uniform was bending slightly, looking at Ji Yu with a nervous face, for fear that he would say something rebellious.

The current emperor is only in his early forties. Now Ji Qi is no longer as young as when he first ascended the throne, and he is in the prime of life, if he knew that Ji Yu arranged him like this, I don't know how angry he would be!

"Ding Zhuo, if you don't persuade me, it is originally, and His Royal Highness didn't say anything wrong! It's clear that the old man's words don't count. They all said that they would not pursue the questions after they were answered, and as a result, my feet were banned. How can I bear this? ”

Ji Yu looked angry, walking around the dormitory, patting the table for a while, and kicking the chair for a while, venting his dissatisfaction with Ji Qi's approach.

"Liu Jun, don't stand on the side, help me figure out a way! My father and emperor are so provocative with our Yunfeng Pavilion, and you, as the head of my Yunfeng Pavilion guard, are in charge of all the guards of my Yunfeng Pavilion. How can you just endure it like this, and you have to find a way to fight back! ”

Ji Yu saw Liu Jun with a pestle on the side like a stake, and said to Liu Jun angrily.

The corners of Liu Jun's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: Let me find a way to take revenge on today's ....... As soon as this thought came to his mind, before he thought of the consequences, Liu Jun couldn't help but shudder.

"Your Highness, how can father and son have an overnight feud, why don't you admit your mistake to Your Majesty, be soft, and say a few good words, won't Your Majesty lift this grounding order for you. Outsiders don't know, but people in our palace can't know? Your Majesty's favorite thing is you, Your Highness! ”

"Oh, let me relent! No way, it's what he says he doesn't believe. Why should I admit my mistake? Ji Yu didn't need to persuade me, and shouted loudly.

At this time, Ding Zhuo's eyes rolled. "Hey~. Your Highness, the little one has an idea. ”

"If you have a way, hurry up!" Ji Yu urged.

"Your Highness, why don't you want to try to beg Concubine Jing and let Concubine Jing intercede for you."

"Hmph, with His Royal Highness's understanding of the old man, even if my mother intercedes with me, he can't let me out of the palace." Ji Yu pursed his lips and said to Ding Zhuo.

"That little one doesn't have any ideas!" Ding Zhuo's face was embarrassed.

Ji Yu thought about it carefully, this is a protracted battle, and it is unlikely that I will be allowed to leave the palace directly in one step. I have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and I have to do things little by little, I have to go out of the Yunfeng Pavilion first, and it will be much easier to do it when I get out of the Yunfeng Pavilion.

Ji Yu rolled his eyes, rubbed his smooth body, and had an idea.

Seeing that His Royal Highness suddenly fell silent, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. With their understanding of His Royal Highness, Ding Zhuo and Liu Jun glanced at each other, and they all shuddered. At the same time, I thought: It's over, Your Highness has come up with some kind of ghost idea!

---------------------

Early the next morning, Ji Yu came to the Yuquan Palace of Concubine Jing in the harem early in the morning to greet his mother.

Seeing her son coming, Concubine Cao Jing was very happy. Mother and son had breakfast together.

Concubine Cao Jing looked at Ji Yu lovingly, took his hand and said, "Yu'er, why did you remember to come to Weiniang today?" You haven't been here in a few days! ”

"Hey, mother. Isn't the child grounded by his father! Ji Yu smiled.

"You're too embarrassed to mention it. If you don't study well at a young age, you actually go in and out of the Qinglou, how can there be any good family women in that kind of place! Yu'er, you are still young, wait a few years, even if you don't say it, your mother will personally go to Zhang Luo's marriage for you. ”

Speaking of this, Concubine Cao Jing let go of her right hand and pulled Ji Yu, and her slender and white index finger lightly tapped Ji Yu's forehead.

"You are now, you just have to listen to your father's words and study seriously. Don't talk back to your father, don't live up to your mother's expectations of you. ”

"Mmmmmmmm Ji Yu made a sincere expression and responded to his mother.

"Mother, I know what I did wrong before, I shouldn't have sneaked out of the palace, let alone ...... No...... Go to the Green House. ”

Ji Yu looked resolute, blinked his eyes again, and tried to release his sincerity.

"Now I really plan to study hard and be a useful person for my big week in the future. So, let's see if you can get my father to revoke my grounding order! ”

Ji Yu shook his mother's arm and said coquettishly.

"Do you really know it's wrong? Are you really determined to repent? ”

Concubine Cao Jing looked at her son with a suspicious expression and asked.

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu. His son himself knows how to do it, he has watched him grow up since he was a child, and Concubine Cao Jing expressed her doubts about what he said suddenly. From childhood to adulthood, Ji Yu didn't know how many troubles she had caused, and when she suddenly said such a thing, Concubine Cao Jing couldn't believe it a little.

"Mother~, of course it's true. The children are thirteen years old, and in a few years, I will be able to move out of the palace and live alone. I've grown up. You have to trust me! ”

Seeing that his mother didn't believe his words, Ji Yu's expression instantly fell, and he added, hoping to win his mother's trust.

"Okay, well, I believe in you for my mother. My son has grown up. Yu'er, you have been smart since you were a child, as long as you work hard and are not as playful as before, you will definitely be able to do it if your mother believes in you. ”

Concubine Cao Jing listened to Ji Yu's assurance, and said with relief and pride.

"That's ....... Mother, when are you going to tell my father about the grounding order! When Ji Yu heard his mother's words, he was happy in his heart. But his face was still cautious.

"After a few days, my mother will go and talk to your father."

"Well, then mother, you can rest, and the child will go back to study first." Ji Yu stood up.

"Good——。 For the past two days, you have been studying carefully in the Yunfeng Pavilion, and after your father has lifted your grounding order, you are not allowed to run around. Concubine Cao Jing saw that her son was leaving, and admonished.

"Well, mother, don't worry. And the boy went first. ”

--------------------

--------------------

"Alas! When will I be able to get out? Ji Yu crouched in front of the desk, looking out the window, with a look of longing.

Since returning from the Yuquan Palace that day, several days have passed. Concubine Cao Jing also went to intercede with Ji Yu, but the emperor never let go, and only said that he would see it in a few days. Ji Yu has been bored in this palace for almost a month, and now he can't wait to put on his wings and fly out as a bird on the branch outside the window.

…………………………

"Your Highness! The repeater you asked the Ministry of Engineering to make for you has been ready, and your subordinates have brought it back for you! ”

Before I saw the figure, I heard Liu Jun's voice outside the palace from far and near.

"Wow———"

Liu Jun entered the house, ran to Ji Yu, and handed over the items in his hand as if offering a treasure.

It was a general-looking wooden product, about a foot long. What is different is that on this east and west side, there is an arrow groove about three inches long and a palm wide.

The Great Zhou was ahead of the Western Xia and the Xiongnu in the manufacture of bows and crossbows. Especially in Da Zhou, the forging method of thirty wrought iron has been developed, and the arrow cluster is extremely hard, even if it is filled into an ordinary **, a distance of about fifteen steps can break through the ordinary iron armor. Far opened up with the Western Xia, the Xiongnu iron smelting level. This is also an important reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty dominates the world.

Ji Yu took the crossbow and looked at it carefully. The production method of this repeater has been in my mind for more than ten years, the design drawings have been changed and changed, the materials have been changed and changed, and the finished products of the Ministry of Engineering have been sent again and again, and finally I have made one that satisfies me.

"Yes, that's it. It's just that...... The fly in the ointment is that it's just a toy. Ji Yu couldn't put down this repeater, and suddenly he didn't know what he thought, and he turned into a look of regret.

"Huh? Your Highness, aren't you just going to make a toy? When Liu Jun heard Ji Yu's words, he was a little confused, scratching the back of his head, his face full of doubts.

"Hmph, who told you that His Highness is going to make a toy? It is made into a toy simply because the right materials are not used. When Ji Yu heard Liu Jun's words, three black lines climbed up the corners of his forehead.

"Bring the arrows that the Ministry of Industry gave you, and Your Highness will let you have a good understanding today."

Liu Jun took out a pocket from his arms and shook it with a rattle. Untie the pouch and pour the contents onto the table.

"Bang-bang-bang-" ......

What appeared in front of Ji Yu was the same pile of wooden products, about an inch long and a finger thick, fusiform wooden strips, roughly counting, a total of more than a hundred or ten.

"No, these are too few, tomorrow you can go to the Ministry of Works again and ask them to make some more arrows like this. Well...... let's make five hundred first! ”

"Yes, my subordinates know."

Ji Yu took out five of them, filled them into the repeater one by one, looked around the room, and finally aimed the repeater at a porcelain vase on the cabinet at the door. Press continuously, just listen to "Bang Bang Bang The first hit hit the porcelain vase to shake it, then the second shot knocked it down and fell to the ground, and the next three hit the solid wood door frame with a dull sound.

Seeing that this repeating crossbow could be fired continuously, Liu Jun looked at the repeater in Ji Yu's hand with a shocked expression.

"Your Highness, your repeater can really fire continuously! It's just that this power is really small! It is estimated that hitting people can only be like tickling. ”

"The parts here are all made of wood. You say, if it is replaced with a military ** material, this wooden 'crossbow arrow' will also be replaced with an iron arrow made of the most advanced thirty wrought iron, what will it look like? ”

Liu Jun thought for a while, if the power is as big as the ...... of the crossbow. Thinking of the result, Liu Jun said to Ji Yu excitedly, "Your Highness, why don't you make iron!" ”

"I'd like to, too, but the parts here require too much detail. Our blacksmiths simply can't forge iron like that. ”

Ji Yu said regretfully.

Hearing Ji Yudi's explanation, Liu Jun also shook his head regretfully.
