Li Zhi hurriedly turned around and saluted again, "Your Majesty has exalted the small people, and your few strokes have undoubtedly made the name of the kid forever shine by the Holy God, covering it for future generations." ”

Just kidding, Gaozong's imperial pen and Qinshu's work can be passed down for thousands of years, and then there is a transcription of his own poems and texts, and the title is given by Saga, wouldn't it make him Li Zhi's great name, and it will also be widely known with Gaozong's book, which is a great honor and grace.

Gaozong shook his head and smiled: "This poem is a typical work for the occasion, although the chapters are colorful, the poems are gorgeous, and they are as meticulous as the repetition of the times, but they are always inseparable from the expression of subjective respect, so that the author's own personality is not highlighted, so it is only counted as a regular poem!" However, it also has the general role of historical witness, and because I do not forget the will of the emperor, and deliberately give back the scene of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty to the good intentions of the ancestors, this article was born. I want to use this article to justify your name! ”

Li Zhizheng wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Gaozong raising his hand, "I have discussed with the kings, and the matter of Shang Fangjian and the title of the royal secretary has also been decided, and someone will guide you to go through the procedure later." Moreover, the gunpowder you developed has also been successfully refined, and you will go to audition for its great power later, I have to say that your kid has made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty, and his loyalty is beyond doubt! Xian'er, Dan'er, you two should remember Li Shangqing's dedication and loyalty, and his dedication to serving good ministers, with him, it is really my luck in the Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Zhi lowered his hand and replied solemnly: "I am a subject of the Tang Dynasty, and I should serve the country for life!" The two princes also rest assured that Li Zhi is ready to be dispatched at any time, and he will not dare to forget for a moment to keep the eternity of my Tang Society, and he will do his best to develop a more advanced way to protect the family and defend the country! ”

"Oh? In this way, about the military aspect. Do you have long-term plans? Gaozong straightened his back, and his face grew with joy.

"Back to the Holy Saint, the next step is to develop gunpowder reuse, and muskets are one of the goals in the future! Moreover, the smelting technology has already gained a little experience, and after several repeated tests, the weapons and equipment of our Datang officers and soldiers will be raised to a higher level. For example, the two-meter-long Mo knife is already in the construction plan, and as long as more advanced smelting technology is developed, it will contact the military in time to achieve actual combat effectiveness in the army as soon as possible, and then form a scale. In addition, individual machine crossbow modifications, ballistas, stone throwers, battering rams, etc. are also planned in the future! ”

"Smack!" Gaozong slapped his palm on the case, and saw the two princes laughing loudly, "Did you hear that?" No one forced him to do this, but Li Shangqing had already made up his mind and had been planning and developing it silently. I once again remind you two that no matter how strange and unpredictable the situation is in the future, you must not fail Li Shangqing's good intentions! I don't ask you to protect him alone, because it is very likely that the two beloved children will have a day when they can't help themselves in the future, but in their hearts, they must keep in mind that the more important the matter, the more they must strengthen their ties with Li Shangqing. What he says today should be confidential, and you should know the dangers of leaking out early! ”

Li Xian replied respectfully: "Aye, please rest assured, my son must keep in mind what Aya said today, and be deeply rooted in my heart, and always remember to do it!" ”

Gaozong nodded noncommittally, and asked Li Zhi instead: "Like ballistas, stone throwers, battering rams, etc., what else can I think of, but what are you talking about muskets?" Do you have a preliminary design idea? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the musket is also called the arquebus, which is to ignite the gunpowder by burning the arquebus, and once developed, it will be a milestone in the history of firearms development. It will also change the form of war because of its appearance, which means that future wars will enter from cold weapons to hot. Age of Weapons. I already have a prototype of the structure of this gun in my heart, but it is extremely complicated to talk about, so as not to delay Your Majesty's rest! ”

"It's okay, just take your time!"

"The arquebus of the future has a metal hook on it, one end of which is fixed to the gun and rotates around the axis; A burning rope is held at the other end, and when the soldier fires it, he pushes the metal hook into the fire door with his hand, so that the fire rope ignites the special black powder, and then fires the projectile contained in the chamber. Because the fire rope is made of hemp rope or tightly twisted cloth, soaked in potassium nitrate, or other salt solutions and dried, it can burn slowly. In this way, the soldier can hold the gun in one or both hands after pressing the metal hook into the fire door, keeping his eyes on the target. ”

Li Zhi took a cup of tea handed over by Li Ying and drank it all, "The arquebus is a tube-shaped firearm, and the erupted projectile can shoot through any armor. The ignition device made a groove on the outside or upper part of the butt, and a serpentine rod was mounted in the groove, one end of the rod was fixed, the other end formed a trigger, and a clamp was held to the fire rope. The rear end of the barrel is equipped with a powder disc, when firing, pull the trigger, press down the nose, ignite the torch into the powder disc, ignite the gunpowder, and replace the projectile with an arrowhead, which will be terrifying. Generally speaking, the arquebus is loaded with gunpowder and small lead pellets, and the arquebus is ignited to shoot the lead pellets, hit the target, and emit a fire and thunderous explosion when fired. ”

"Good fellow, that thing must be amazingly powerful. However, according to what you just said, gunpowder cannot be used at present, and a special black gunpowder needs to be developed? ”

"That's right! In fact, I have developed a little bit of this black powder a long time ago, but it cannot be used to detonate ordinary gunpowder, so it has not yet been handed over to the military. Only when the arquebus is developed can it be handed over to the army with it. ”

"You need a special refined iron barrel to be strong and durable, and it won't explode when you shoot, and you also need your smelting skills after it comes out?"

"Not only that, but the inner wall of the tail of the barrel also needs to be engraved with a female thread, which is screwed in and out, and plays the role of holding air when screwed in, and it is easy to clean the inner wall of the gun after screwing out. The outside of the nozzle is a perfect circle twist, and there is a medicine chamber at the rear, a fire door is opened, and a fire door cover is installed. Made of a complete arquebus, it requires a highly skilled blacksmith to make it without room for error. And in the future, I am afraid that I will have to use the palace glass factory to customize a batch of hair. Small vials for shooting powder, each bottle contains one shot, so that soldiers can avoid being nervous on the battlefield and filling more or less shots. Ejaculation. ”

Gaozong leaned back in his chair, pondered for a long time, and then turned to look at Li Xian and the others: "Now I don't have many trusted people available, and most of the loyal ministers and generals are very old, so I can only explain this matter to the two of you!" You need to remember deeply that even your queen mother should not disclose this matter in advance! Moreover, even if Li Shangqing needs to use the glass factory in the future, you must also remember to strictly abide by the actual function of the glass bottle! Only when the army is already equipped with arquebuses can it be announced within a certain range. Do you know why I ask for this? ”

Li Dan replied: "Li Shangqing is the only person who developed it, once the news is revealed in advance, there will be people who will try to stop or want to harm him!" And the power of the arquebus is really terrifying, flowing into the grass, and the consequences are endless! ”

Gaozong nodded approvingly, "It's good to understand!" This is really a major issue related to the Tang Dynasty, only when our army is fully deployed, can outsiders know, otherwise the national strength advantage and deterrence will be greatly reduced, and the survival is worrying! ”

He got up instead, walked quickly to the front of the dragon book case, and waited for Li Xian, who arrived later, to grind properly, Gaozong rolled up his sleeve and waved his pen, and a line of words was waved: The reason why Yidi is afraid of China is that firearms are also.

"This painting will always be in the upper study, no matter which of your two brothers is in power, you must always take it out and look at it, and before the arquebus is equipped, do not hang it high, but only understand it by heart!" Gaozong's face was very solemn, not angry but self-threatening.

After a period of depression, Gao Zong suddenly looked at Li Zhi and said with a smile: "What you Li Shangqing said before is a great contribution, I am afraid that after the arquebus is developed, there will be another word of honor." Anyway, it is the ultimate state to achieve greatness, and I really can't think of how to phrase it for a while! Then forget it, you are still young, but you can't be lost in praise. Say, I'll give you another chance to reward! ”

Li Zhi put on a pretended cautious posture, his expression was slightly disdainful, "Xiaomin really has a thing, I want to borrow the power of the Holy Dragon!" ”

Gaozong waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be so afraid, just talk about it!" ”

"I have a future wife who is only 12 years old, but the origin is a little magical..."

Li Zhi carefully told Pang Ti about his origins, which aroused Gaozong's great interest, but Li Xian took the opportunity to corroborate it: "Erchen has also heard that that little girl is very famous in her original hometown, and she is indeed a little unusual. ”

Gao Zongle nodded, "Li Shangqing's intention is to give this Pang Ti girl a suitable identity, so as not to be forcibly captured and plundered into the palace by the palace?" ”

Li Zhi pretended to have a hesitant expression of approval and disapproval, and Gaozong laughed and said: "You don't have to be so taboo, how can I not know about the situation in the palace!" In this way, I will give Pang Ti as a good concubine, the title is equivalent to the first concubine of the nine concubines, the position is regarded as Jiuqing, the status is second only to the third lady, it is not under the jurisdiction of palace affairs, and I will marry you Li Shangqing! ”

Li Ying listened to it and secretly said to himself, Pang Qi was so shocked that he was actually awarded the title of an exclusive concubine, and the title was equivalent to that of a concubine, but it was a second grade.

The nine concubines are Shufei, Shuyuan, Shuyi, Xiuhua, Xiurong, Xiuyi, Jieyu, Ronghua, and Chonghua.

The noble concubines, ladies, and nobles are the third ladies, and under the queen, the title is second only to the third lady, which is not comparable to ordinary female officials.

What's more critical is that Gaozong gave him a marriage to Li Zhi in a blink of an eye, and the big media personally guaranteed by the current saint asks who in the world would dare to destroy this marriage.

What's ridiculous is that Li Zhi still has a wooden expression, obviously not knowing what the word good concubine means.

On the side, Li Dan couldn't hold back his laughter and whispered to him to introduce the mysteries, which made Li Zhi feel like he couldn't stop making a move to Gaozong.

Seeing his nondescript way of thanking, Gaozong actually laughed and scolded: "You stinky boy, once you get excited, you don't know how to be polite!" Forget it, it's rare to be happy today, and then marry your other two wives, what are they called? ”

As he spoke, he came to the dragon book case again, and wrote with a pen: I am the spring life of Haotian, and I have heard that Qingqi, the daughter of the king of Linhuai, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and I and the queen mother are very happy to hear it. Now the royal secretary Li Zhi Li Zhengwen is already weak, and when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. The granddaughter of Sun Yunshan, the grandson of Sun Yunshan, is treated in the boudoir, and Li Zhengwen, the royal secretary of the royal court, can be called made in heaven, and in order to become a beautiful woman, you will be matched with Li Zhengwen as the second lady. Specially named Pang Ti as a good concubine of the second grade, and gave Li Zhengwen, the royal secretary, Li Zhi, and allowed her to get married. Another auspicious day should be chosen with the above three daughters. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. Announce it to the world, and make it hear. Chin this!

On the side, Li Zhi reminded that the three daughters had different choices, with different meanings, but for the same purpose, they were all given marriage by the emperor and the queen mother.
