It's night.

In Luoyang Palace, in Jingyuan Palace.

Jin Chunqiu, the lord of Silla, who was treated with national courtesy by Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, stayed here, sat in place uncertainly, staring blankly ahead.

However, such a daze was soon interrupted by Jin Dejun, who flew in: "Your Majesty." ”

"How?"

Jin Chunqiu sat up straight and looked at Jin Dejun with some nervousness.

Jin Dejun's expression was solemn, and he nodded and said: "The Great Yan Ten Thousand Divine Crossbow Iron Cavalry has been personally admitted by the Tang Dynasty Captain and the two important ministers of the British Duke a moment ago. The officers and soldiers of all its armies have all received official ranks, and now they are all official members of the Tang Dynasty. ”

When Jin Chunqiu heard this, he fell back, leaned back in the chair, and was silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Jin Dejun couldn't help but comfort him: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much about blaming yourself. After all, who would have thought that the dignified emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom would pretend to be a woman for many years for a Central Plains woman, and wander among the Tang Dynasty royal family? Moreover, the Empress of the Tang Dynasty has been hiding all these years, but she has only secretly made friends with her, and the kings of all countries in the sea except for the Tang Empire are all dreamed of for the Tang Emperor, who can think of it? After all, with her means, a mere ten thousand god crossbow iron riders would not have taken so much time at all. ”

Jin Chunqiu was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "That's because you underestimated this divine horse too much—and you underestimated this Tang Empress too much...... For her, the 10,000 Divine Crossbow Iron Rider is really nothing to the Tang Emperor, who already has a million male divisions and is guarded by the Tang Dynasty Shadow Guard, who is the first divine guard in the sea - after all, just on this bow and crossbow, the Tang Emperor still holds a divine weapon in his hand that makes the generals of all countries in the sea frightened. If the Tang Emperor really wanted to have a magic arrow team, then he only had to make such a rare soldier in large quantities and equip everyone...... No matter how brave the Dead Yan crossbow iron horse is, it is only a tie compared to it. However, she knew that the significance of this Divine Crossbow Iron Rider was far from its combat power, but the means used to subdue it, and its symbolic significance. ”

Jin Dejun was stunned: "Your Majesty's meaning, Dejun really doesn't understand." If the Tang Emperor really had such a divine weapon in his hands, why did the Tang Empress bother to subdue this iron cavalry so much? Could it be that His Majesty overestimated this queen mother? ”

Jin Chunqiu was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Machine Crossbow?" ”

Jin Dejun was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened suddenly: "Heavenly Machine Crossbow?!" Be...... During the time of Emperor Sui, the old man of Tianji made ...... Heavenly crossbow?! ”

Jin Chunqiu nodded.

Jin Dejun gasped, and said softly after a while: "All bows and crossbows in the world need to be hooked with finger and wrist strength; And in order to seek its strength and accuracy, the bigger the heavier, the better; Moreover, all bows and crossbows have a characteristic, no matter how many arrows and crossbows can be fired at a time, they need manpower to replenish the arrows and crossbows. Therefore, when the infantry army fights in the world, the bow and arrow often need to be lined up in three or five rows, thinking that there is no need to break the blank when replacing the arrow and crossbow. Only this heavenly machine crossbow, because of its maker Tianji old man insight into the heavenly machine, its mystery, actually with the heaven-given spiritual will, skillfully seized the work of ghosts and gods, to make this body only a foot long, light and convenient small crossbow arrow; What's even more amazing in the world is that the old man of Tianji with his god-given wonderful idea forced the mechanism in this crossbow, and if he installed 36 to 45 crossbow arrows at a time, he could use the number of 4 to 5 at a time, which could be nine consecutive shots! In addition, its crossbow arrows are as thin as knuckles, but they are extremely powerful and extremely accurate! People in the world say, but where there is a person who holds a heavenly crossbow who intends to shoot, a crossbow and a life will be in vain! Legend has it that when the Sui Dynasty was extinguished, there were 1,000 of this thing, but because the old man knew that if it fell into the hands of Yang Guang, it would definitely be destroyed...... How did it fall into the hands of the current Tang Emperor? How much more if it is true...... That should have been given to the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This...... It doesn't make sense! If there is this heavenly crossbow weapon in hand, in the battle of Liaodong that year, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty would only have a hundred thousand, and Goguryeo would be a heavy setback for the country......"

"That's because, even the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't know that this heavenly crossbow was in the hands of the people around him." Jin Chunqiu said quietly: "Because he didn't expect that his queen, the Empress Wende, had always been worried that if this thing fell into the hands of her husband, it would inevitably become a big evil thing that would harm the world, so he handed such a thing to her husband, that is, His Majesty Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who never expected it." ”

Jin Dejun looked at Jin Chunqiu, blinked, and immediately understood: "The current Tang Emperor, their son ......"

"Nope." Jin Chunqiu shook his head slowly, his eyes were flat: "It's the princess of the Great Sui who has been resented by His Majesty Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty all her life, but she has loved him all her life, Concubine Shuniang." ”

Kim Deok-joon's mouth opened wide and he couldn't close it for a long time.

Jin Chunqiu thought about it for a while, but shook his head and smiled: "But what you said is half right." To be precise, this thing was not only handed over to the lady concubine, but only half of the heavenly crossbow map that Empress Wende of the Tang Dynasty searched from the hand of the Emperor Yin De of the Tang Dynasty. The other half was hidden by the Empress Wende in her youngest son's body. Ruogu was not mistaken, but she was afraid that until she died, she never told her son about the existence of such a thing. ”

"But how could she hand it over to the lady? And how can this Tang Queen find ...... now?"

"If you think about it, when you accompanied Lone in Chang'an, you should understand the secrets of the palace that you listened to those royal relatives discuss...... Yang Shuyi, the respect of the emperor of the previous generation and the emperor of the current dynasty, can give up the idea of recovering the country for the son of a rival, and concentrate on only accompanying the emperor who makes her unforgettable in her life, and even does not hesitate to use her own flesh and blood, both lives as the emperor's favorite youngest son, the first big sacrifice after becoming the prince...... Why can't she keep the half of the divine soldier who can dominate the world for the sake of this child, so that when he grows up, he will be handed over after he has a benevolent heart? It can only be said that Empress Wende had expected this a long time ago, so she would give such a thing to the hands of His Majesty Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty who would not expect it the most - she knew that her husband could not get it, but for her son, it was a great gift that could bring him benefits. ”

Jin Chunqiu said lightly: "That half of the picture is so painstaking, it is unexpected, so the place where Empress Wende hides the remaining half of the picture, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty can't even think of it." But this place her husband and her own son may not think, but she ...... This Tang Dynasty Queen, who is also a mother, her daughter-in-law must be able to see it - after all, women know women best, and she knows that with her son's heart, the woman she will marry will not be bad. And such a woman will naturally know how to deal with such things like her. ”

"That'...... But between the death of Empress Wende and the queen of the Tang Dynasty, there are still these years, and there is also a deposed queen Wang ......"

"That's why she's clever in this trick—she left such a treasure, the treasure that the emperor of the world wanted, and obtained, in a special place, a place that only a woman with a very wise and motherly heart can discover. And a woman who is extremely wise and full of motherly heart, once she is the queen of the Tang Dynasty, how can she be willing to let the lives of the world be miserable? How could you not understand Empress Wende's painstaking efforts? So she's bound to use it well. Therefore, the place where Empress Wende hid half of the Heavenly Crossbow is a treasure, and half is also a place of trial. In order to ensure that the person who discovered it is really a strange woman who is wise and benevolent, and none of the four are missing. ”

Jin Dejun was stunned for a long time, and then said lightly: "When the minister accompanied His Majesty in Chang'an, he also accompanied His Majesty many times to inquire about the whereabouts of the Heavenly Machine Crossbow, but I have never heard of these things......"

"That's because these things are lonely, and it was only when I came to Luoyang this time that I learned about them. Even...... It was the whereabouts of half of the divine diagram of the machine crossbow that day, and I didn't know it until I saw the Tang Queen holding the newborn prince today. ”

"What?"

"You should have also heard that when the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was born, how glorious he was? It's just a small swaddling baby, and it's all a treasure of the world. Have you ever looked at the swaddling clothes of the little prince today? ”

Jin Dejun was stunned: "That...... The half-paper drawing...... At...... In the ......"

Jin Chunqiu nodded, closed his eyes and said: "People's hearts are so interesting, I always feel that the more precious things are, the more difficult it is to see...... So when Queen Wende embroidered it as a pattern on that little swaddling cloth, who would have thought about it? Whether it is her husband or her son, who would have thought that the son they are holding in their arms, or the son of their son, is wrapped around the divine soldier who can dominate the sea? So from the beginning, the Empress Wende was afraid that she would expect this, so now the Tang Dynasty Queen will find it - after all, this thing, from the beginning, she planned to leave it to her daughter-in-law and pass it on to her son. ”

Jin Dejun opened his mouth and stammered for a long time, before he said: "I see, but in the final analysis, this Queen Wende is just a woman after all, but she is too womanly, and she has the reputation of being a virtuous queen...... The Heavenly Machine Crossbow is just a weapon. It's too powerful, so why bother so much? And with the Heavenly Machine Crossbow, why bother to take down the Ten Thousand Divine Crossbow Iron Horse? Now this Tang Queen is nothing more than that. ”

"You who say this are the ones who are the Jin Chunqiu looked at him and said calmly: "But I can't blame you, after all, I'm afraid that the people in this world who can see the pros and cons of this heavenly crossbow clearly are also counted with five fingers." ”

Jin Dejun looked at Jin Chunqiu with a puzzled expression.

Jin Chunqiu's eyes condensed slightly: "Lone only asks you, if you are the Tang Emperor and get this heavenly crossbow, what do you want to do the most?" ”

Jin Dejun was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, but hesitated: "Naturally, it is to make a large number of hair immediately and match it with the armies to strengthen its might." ”

"Then I will ask you again, if you are the Turkic Xiliang...... When the lord of the countries who is good at riding and fighting is the first thing to think of when he hears that there is such a divine soldier in the Tang Army, what is the first thing he thinks? ”

"Naturally, it is to strengthen the precaution...... Ah......" Kim Deok-joon finally understood and kept silent.

Jin Chunqiu nodded: "That's right, this is like picking the most powerful one among a group of tigers and matching it with wings." In such a situation, in order to protect themselves, the other tigers knew that the flying tiger had no intention of harming people, but also united and tried to kill the flying tiger before it was launched; or try to take his wings for their own use; No matter how bad it is, I have to set up a way to get such a pair of wings, or add some darkness to the claws...... The heart of greed is also the root nature of man. If such an artifact is only between people, then it can be said that it is just a bloody killing; But if it's between countries...... It would be a catastrophe on earth, and the lives would be devastated. Therefore, of course, Empress Wende wants her benevolent son to sit firmly on the throne, but what she wants more is the stability of the world, and this heavenly crossbow will never come in handy one day. ”

Jin Dejun was silent for a long time before he said softly: "It seems that now this Tang Dynasty Empress Wu Niangniang understands her mother's intentions. ”

"That's right. Therefore, she tried her best to convert this Dead Swallow God Crossbow Iron Horse, which had never been recruited and placed by any lord of the country, into a matter of several years, in order to be able to let the world understand that her husband, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was not a reckless soldier. Therefore, even the Tianji crossbow is also owned by His Majesty Li Zhi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he will never use it to do something unkind, unjust, and immoral...... Even ......"

After Jin Chunqiu finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and said: "Next, in order to further make her image of the good husband of the Tang Emperor who will not kill and slaughter indiscriminately stand in front of the people of the world, this Tang Dynasty Empress should take the initiative to suggest that the Tang Emperor issue a clear edict and ask him to use this Heavenly Machine Crossbow - it will only be this Heavenly Machine Crossbow, and order the Tang Dynasty military craftsmen to make a full number."

And then give it - and it still has to be clearly specified - can only be given to the use of this divine crossbow iron horse that is actively attached to the Tang Dynasty, and it must be emphasized that in addition to the Great Yan God crossbow iron horse that has just been attached, the other armies in the Tang Dynasty are not prepared.

In this way, the divine soldier is matched with the divine horse, and there is always a peerless sword in her husband's hand;

Secondly...... In the eyes of the people of the world, treating a soldier who has fallen into the country and the rebellious army that has been disturbing the border of the Tang Dynasty for many years is so lenient, then this Tang Ming Lord is really a rare good genius;

Thirdly, although the Tang Dynasty soldiers have not been gifted, they are as clear in their hearts as those who have been gifted, what they have given is only a crossbow, but they are not crossbow craftsmen - crossbow craftsmen are still in the Tang Army, and they are real Tang Dynasty soldiers...... The difference between these can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. ”

When Jin Dejun heard this, he was shocked and speechless for a long time. After a while, he said lightly: "This queen mother...... These means...... Is it really a female stream who has been tortured for several years from the Tang Dynasty and finally came out? ”

Jin Chunqiu closed his eyes, and said lightly after a while: "Then it depends on what kind of character this female streamer in your mouth is, and what kind of people are in the Tang Dynasty Houting who can torture a character like her." If it's just the previous deposed queen Wang family, or a character like the abolished concubine Xiao family...... Hmph......"

Jin Chunqiu sneered, opened his eyes, and his eyes burned: "I'm afraid it's just to make her annoyed, it's a big thing that they have to spend a lifetime to do." ”
