Chapter 54: Blessings and Misfortunes Lurk

"Come on, come on, protect the prince, protect the prince." The eunuch, who had been scared to pee, still did not forget his duty and shouted loudly to protect the prince!

The huge explosion just now, coupled with the eunuch's shouting, soon attracted a large number of guards, who protected Li Shimin and Li Siyuan layer by layer, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

As soon as there were more people, everyone's hearts also settled down, Li Shimin, who was originally frightened and pale, gradually regained his blood color on his face, he stretched out his hand to pat everyone away, and looked at the copper tripod that was blown apart not far away, and was so shocked that he stayed in place and was silent!

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright? It's all the negligence of the ministers, and please ask His Highness to surrender the crime! Li Siyuan thought that Li Shimin was frightened, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty!

In fact, Li Shimin was originally frightened, but when he first saw the power of the earth-shaking thunder, the fear that the joy in his heart had already covered, for an emperor with lofty ideals and ambitions, what could be more tempting than expanding his territory? And if you want to expand the territory, it is impossible without strong force, this earth-shattering thunder, the power is huge, isn't it just right to be used on the battlefield?

Li Shimin was pondering, but Li Siyuan interrupted his train of thought, and he was not annoyed but said very gently: "Okay, good baby!" Among the treasures you have offered these few times, this treasure is the most suitable for Lone's heart! Lone has to reward you well, tell me, what do you want? ”

"To be able to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and serve the Tang Dynasty is the honor of Weichen, and I dare not ask for a reward!" Li Siyuan said respectfully.

"You kid don't say some rhetoric in front of Lonely, just say what you want, this time to do this earth-shattering thunder, it must have taken you a lot of thought, to say that your kid has no desires and no desires, I don't believe it!"

"Your Highness is really discerning." Li Siyuan smiled: "Your Highness, Weichen does have something to ask His Highness for help when he comes this time!" ”

Looking at the twisted Li Siyuan, Li Shimin suddenly laughed: "Haha, when did your kid become thin-skinned?" This is not your usual style! If you have something to say, don't talk about it! ”

"It's Your Highness!" After Li Siyuan agreed, he didn't twist: "Your Highness, Weichen wants to do some business in iron smelting, but he doesn't have so much money in his hands, so he wants to ...... Want to ....."

Seeing that Li Siyuan didn't come up with anything famous after thinking about it for a long time, Li Shimin asked, "Want to borrow money?" ”

"No, I want to pull you along!"

As soon as these words came out, the eunuch next to him suddenly became unhappy: "Bold, Your Highness is the prince of a country, how can you do such a thing with you, Li Xianzi, are you guilty?" ”

Li Siyuan looked at the guards around him, and felt that they couldn't hear anything from this distance, so he explained in a low voice: "Father-in-law, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about asking His Highness to do business, I just need His Highness to put up a name, I am willing to give His Highness 20% of dry shares, Your Highness doesn't have to do anything, just collect money!" Of course, if His Highness is willing to pay 320,000 taels of silver, it would be the best! ”

Looking at Li Siyuan's scoundrel appearance, Li Shimin wanted to scold him twice, but when he thought that he had just made a meritorious contribution, he was embarrassed to speak.

Just when he was in a dilemma, the eldest grandson came over just right: "Erlang, what happened just now, are you injured?" ”

Looking at his wife's concerned eyes, Li Shimin comforted: "It's okay Guanyin, it's all the treasures offered by this kid!" Let's go into the temple and say! ”

The group returned to the Taiji Hall again, and Li Shimin retreated: "Boy, now that the Lord is here, do you dare to say what you just asked?"

Li Siyuan saw that the little Jiujiu in his heart had been recognized, so he simply gritted his teeth and said: "Dare, Weichen knows that most of the iron smelting industry is now in the hands of the eldest grandson's family, but for the sake of the future of Datang, Weichen must do this!" ”

"Oh, could it be said that the iron smelting industry is in the hands of the eldest grandson's family, and it will endanger the Tang Dynasty?" The crown princess said unhappily.

"The crown princess misunderstood, Weichen didn't mean that, but the iron smelting industry was in the hands of the eldest grandson's family, and it didn't benefit the Tang Dynasty at all, but the imperial court had to buy a lot of materials from them every year! Spend a lot of money! As he spoke, he looked at the face of the Changsun family, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he continued: "Wechen wants to meddle in this business, not to cut off the Changsun family's wealth, but Weichen has an iron-smelting technology that can increase the existing iron-smelting output tenfold, and can also produce better iron and steel!" ”

"Ten times? Are you telling the truth? Li Shimin asked incredulously.

"Wechen doesn't dare to say anything, the minimum is ten times, and Wechen will provide the court with five times the steel donated by the eldest grandson's family for free every year!" He paused and then tempted: "Your Highness, after the production and quality of steel increases, Wei Chen can also create another weapon, and with this earth-shattering thunder, the enemy can be taught to be wiped out from miles away!" ”

Sure enough, although Li Shimin listened to the previous words very seriously, he didn't say anything, until Li Siyuan said this new weapon later, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his head to look at Changsun's family, which was to ask his opinion!

The eldest grandson has grown up with Li Shimin since he was a child, and one look can tell him what he is thinking: "Can you guarantee what you said?" ”

The eldest grandson, who became serious, had a sense of prestige, Li Siyuan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Weichen promises, every word is true!" ”

"Okay, then you can do it, but the prince's status is noble, and it is impossible to participate in the shares!" Looking at Li Siyuan's embarrassed expression, she said again: "The prince can't participate in shares, but I can, but I only need to do shares and not give a penny!" ”

Li Siyuan pursed his lips, and thought in his heart: I already knew that this would be the case, but with the participation of this person, presumably the eldest grandson Wuji will not be able to do anything to himself at that time.

"Thank you Prince, Crown Princess, if there is nothing wrong, Weichen will retire first!" Li Siyuan accepted it when he saw it and prepared to retreat.

"Wait!" Li Shimin looked at him suspiciously and said, "Aiqing seems to have forgotten to leave something, right?" ”

Li Siyuan patted his head: "Weichen is confused, this is the secret recipe for creating earth-shaking thunder, please take a look at it Your Highness!" ”

"How is this* similar to the elixir refined by Taoism?" Opening the note handed over by Li Siyuan, Li Shimin was puzzled: "Well, it seems that this * is the point!" ”

"Your Highness is wise." Li Siyuan has unconsciously developed a good habit of patting on the back!

"Okay, you can go down, but remember, this * secret recipe can only be known to you and me, if a third person knows, hum..."

Although Li Shimin's later words did not say it directly, Li Siyuan also knew the means of this emperor who dared to kill his brother and imprison his father in history, and hurriedly promised to leave, but he heard Li Shimin say to the little eunuch next to him: "Proposed purpose, Li Xianzi has meritorious service in offering treasures, and he has been crowned as the Bo of Jingyang County, and he has 300 acres of land." ”

This is the earl? Li Siyuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him, but Li Shimin continued: "You have made a lot of contributions this time, but you have also put yourself on the cusp!" You must know that once a weapon like the Heaven-Shaking Thunder is known by the enemy country, it will definitely try to get it, and even if you can't get it, I'm afraid someone will assassinate you! In this case, you go to the Xuanjia Army and select 100 armorers as your guards! ”

Li Shimin's words woke up Li Siyuan, who was immersed in joy, because he was careless, he only thought about meritorious service, but he forgot the consequences of this incident, fortunately, our Tiankhan is sober enough!

"Your Majesty Longen, Weichen is grateful!" Li Siyuan is sincerely grateful this time.

Li Shimin nodded: "Go down, there is a lone to support you, you don't have to worry too much!" “
