"There seems to be some truth to what you said." After a while, Liu Che said.

"What I'm saying is not only reasonable, it's simply very reasonable." Yan Ming boasted to himself, and then said: "Your Majesty will be rewarded for meritorious service, and punished for mistakes." This style of acting spreads and enters the ears of the Empress Dowager, so that her old man thinks that you are a mature emperor! ”

Liu Che thought for a while, nodded, and said, "What you said makes sense. But I want to take the opportunity to give Wei Qing a little more compensation, don't you mind? ”

Yan Ming shook his head, Wei Qing was a national hero in his heart. Before coming to Dahan, he would go to Wei Qing's grave to send a bouquet of flowers whenever he had the opportunity. Now how could he object to Liu Che giving Wei Qing an official knighthood.

"The servant is still too small, I want to give Wei Qing a doctor in Taizhong. In the future, when deciding on political affairs, there is no need to consult with that group of mediocre people. Liu Che clenched his fists slightly, and a new idea formed in his mind.

Yan Ming was also stunned. In the Han Dynasty, the prime minister finally became an ornament. It is his internal dynasty that really makes decisions on major national affairs. This small inner dynasty didn't expect it to have a prototype so soon.

"You can't run either. In the future, I, Wei Qing, you, and Han Yan, let's discuss something first. What Xuchang, when the time comes, he will be a dog ear for us to convey orders. Liu Che laughed at his thoughts.

Yan Ming also smiled, and said for a while: "Although Your Majesty's method is excellent, it is somewhat contrary to the imperial court system!" ”

"There's no way, if those people in the court really have achievements, why should I be like this. Now I have to do it! Liu Che said.

After a few laughs, Liu Che's mood brightened and said, "What you just said is right, I can't do anything to the eldest princess yet." I don't have a tiger talisman in my hand now, and I can't even mobilize my troops! This matter has to be considered in the long run. ”

Yan Ming smiled and said, "What you said is half right, half wrong. ”

"How?" Liu Che asked.

"Picking up the eldest princess, naturally you have to think long-term. Maybe you won't be able to pick her up at all. Because her backstage is the Empress Dowager Dou. Old lady's face, you have to give it whenever you want. Yan Ming analyzed.

"Well, you have a point. Although the Empress Dowager is a strict old man, she is very good to me. Liu Che nodded, although he was ambitious, his filial piety to the Empress Dowager Dou was not pretended.

"Half of the mistake is that you don't have the right to mobilize the army. At least for now, I can assure you that the lieutenant army of Captain Hu Cai is completely under the orders of His Majesty. Yan Ming smiled.

"Captain Hu Cai?" Liu Che seemed to be stunned, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. But after an instant, his eyes dimmed, and he said, "Although the combat effectiveness of Captain Hu Qi is the strongest among the eight captains. It is difficult to beat four hands with two fists. After all, the number of people is still a little less. ”

Yan Ming patted Liu Che on the shoulder and said, "Are you confused when you are the emperor?" A few days ago, you and I, as well as Gongsun Ao and a few others, killed dozens of horse thieves and bandits on the border, have you forgotten? ”

Liu Che shook his head and said, "Naturally, I haven't forgotten, but we are all equipped with your military ......."

Speaking of this, he himself held back, his eyes almost widened, stretched out his finger, pointed at Yan Ming and said, "If all the troops of Captain Hu are equipped with military crossbows, then the lethality and destructive power of this team are enough to resist an enemy ten times his size!" ”

Yan Ming nodded with a smile, but thought in his heart that if he was equipped with the soil bombs he made, then the lethality of this army might be more than 10,000. For defending the city, I am afraid that 100,000 people will not be able to attack it. The premise is that there are enough crossbow arrows and enough earth bombs.

Once the iron-smelting process of the iron-smelting village can produce steel pipes that meet the standards, when it is time to pour, the guns can be made. That's the real killer in the army. When the time came, the cavalry of the Huns all fell down.

But these are just Yan Ming's beautiful imaginations. After all, in this era, the manufacturing process of machinery is still completely backward, and if you want to reach that standard, you don't know how many attempts and how much time you have to go through.

"Yan Ming, I will give you a power, all military crossbows will be produced, and they will be equipped to the Hu Cavalry Captain first. I'll leave this army to you. As soon as I need it, you must be there immediately. Liu Che held Yan Ming's hand and said.

Yan Ming shook his aching wrist that was clutched by Liu Che due to excitement, and said, "Military position, I don't want to do it now." I think Han Yan is good, let's let him continue to take the captain of Hu Qi. ”

Liu Che looked at Yan Ming for a long time before he sighed and said, "You are the only person I have ever seen who is not greedy for military power. ”

"My wish is to be a little teacher, a little teacher living in the Han Dynasty." Yan Ming said with a smile.

In the past, he hated being a teacher the most. But now, thinking about the feeling of being full of peaches and plums, it's not bad.

Liu Che looked at him incredulously and said, "I think only power is the best. I can't understand you anymore! ”

Yan Ming sighed, looked at the tall roof of the palace and said, "Your Majesty Bingxue is smart and eloquent, so you shouldn't have such a small ambition as a minister." ”

Liu Che was silent, and only after a while did he say: "Eloquence, this word, I like it." ”

Yan Ming smiled and didn't make a sound. This word was originally invented to describe Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he liked it.

"I gave you a month to equip me with military crossbows." Liu Che said.

Yan Ming nodded and said, "In this way, Your Majesty will ask the iron smelting houses in various places to send the parts of the built parts to Maolingyi, and then I will directly let the students of Hongyan Hall assemble them." ”

"Student assembly? Can they? Liu Che said with some hesitation.

"Of course it works, the students I teach will be the mainstay of Dahan in the future. They're going to be every screw in the big man's machine! Yan Ming smiled.

Liu Che didn't know what a machine was and what a screw was, but he understood what Yan Ming meant. That is the student of Hongyantang, who will become the pillar of the Han Dynasty.

From the departure of the Yang Palace, Yan Ming did not plan to return to Maolingyi, but took advantage of the fact that it was still early, and took Dajie and ten retinues to prepare for a trip to the Iron Village.

This time, Yan Ming brought the drawings of the steam engine he designed. He wanted to see if he could build a steam engine. Even if you can't copy it completely, at least make a simple one, which is good!

Coming out of Dongshi, Yan Ming asked the ten Hu cavalry captains to go out of the city first. He took the big ring around the city and wanted to visit Wei Qing.

On the edge of Changle Palace, there is Changqiu Palace, where the queen lives.

Just when the two of them happened to pass by the Changqiu Palace, the main entrance of the Changqiu Palace suddenly opened.

Yan Ming was a little stunned, the middle door of the Changqiu Palace could only be opened by the emperor and empress or the queen mother, but the person who came out of it at this time was not at all any of the people he imagined.

It was Dajie, who saw the woman in black who came out, her face changed slightly, and she seemed to gasp.
