Chapter 114: Orphans and Widows
"Shouldn't the bow and arrow be reconsidered?" Wang Shicheng proposed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shi Zhan nodded and said: "Since it is a cavalry, you must be good at riding and shooting, the bow used by the cavalry is different from the foot, it must be light and strong, I think you can use mulberry wood as a bow, each person is equipped with two quivers, each pot is thirty arrows, the weight is too large, I am afraid that it will affect the horsepower." ”
"My thoughts are the same as my eldest brother, the crossbow is strong but not good for riding and shooting, and the mulberry wood is of the highest quality, and it is durable and lightweight when made into a bow!" Wang Shicheng echoed.
"In terms of armor, it is advisable to use chain mail, which is light in weight, but the defense is not low, and the most important thing is that chain mail does not restrict the movement of the human body, and is suitable for cavalry shooting and chopping when fighting."
"Big brother, we can't find this thing in the army!" Li Chang said suddenly.
"Then ask the military department! Five hundred sets of chain mail should not be a difficult task. Wang Shicheng said nonchalantly.
"Someone!" Shi Zhan shouted outside the tent.
A halberd at the door opened the curtain and walked in: "Humble duty!" ”
"Go! Invite Mr. Qin! Shi Zhan commanded.
"Big brother, what are you calling Mr. Qin to do?" Li Chang asked suspiciously.
"Let's discuss it just now, let Mr. Qin list it in detail, you need to ask the military department what you want, ask what the patrol battalion wants, and then draft a chapter, and I will personally hand it over to Your Majesty tomorrow."
Wang Shicheng and Li Chang nodded yes.
In the dead of night, in the Huilan Palace, Concubine Liu Guifei snuggled in Shi Hu's arms and asked, "Your Majesty, are you asleep?" ”
Shi Hu squinted his eyes and muttered back, "I haven't fallen asleep yet." ”
After Shi Hu finished speaking, he opened his eyes, looked down at Liu Guifei in his arms, and asked, "Concubine Ai is pregnant, why don't you rest today?" ”
"The concubine was worried and couldn't sleep." Liu Guifei said as she hugged Shi Hu tighter, and the whole person was close to Shi Hu.
Shi Hu naturally sensed Liu Guifei's abnormality, turned sideways slightly, hugged Liu Guifei, and asked, "What are the thoughts in Aifei's heart?" As my woman, who else can you be wronged? ”
"The concubine is not wronged...... Liu Guifei said, and she actually shed tears.
"Concubine Ai don't worry, say it, I will call the shots for you!" Shi Hu patted Liu Guifei's shoulder and comforted.
"Is what Your Majesty said true?" Liu Guifei wiped her tears and raised her head to look at Shi Hu.
"I have a golden mouth, and I say nine things!" Shi Hu patted his chest and said.
Concubine Liu Guifei's words came to her lips, and she stopped talking: "Forget it, in fact, it's not a big deal, and the concubines won't cause trouble for Your Majesty." ”
Shi Hu's curiosity was completely aroused, he got up and looked down at Liu Guifei, and said a little anxiously: "Oh, my concubine, you said it!" I must not let you and the child in your belly accept the grievances! What are your concerns, just say! ”
When Concubine Liu heard this, tears came down with tears in her eyes, and she choked up: "Your Majesty, the concubine has always wanted to give you a child before, but now that she is pregnant, the concubine is very worried...... Concubines...... The concubine doesn't want this child anymore......"
After Liu Guifei finished speaking, she cried "woo woo".
Liu Guifei's inexplicable crying pear blossoms brought rain, which made Shi Hu very puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Aifei, what are you talking about?" How can you not want this child! ”
Liu Guifei said while crying: "The concubine is worried that this child will be wronged in the future......"
The more Shi Hu listened, the more confused he became, scratching his head, and asking, "My children, born in the royal family, how can they be wronged?" Aifei is too worried......"
"If Your Majesty is in the prime of life now, the concubines should be worry-free, but ...... The concubines are afraid that in the future, our orphans and widows will have nothing to rely on. Liu Guifei said, and plunged her head into Shi Hu's arms again.
Shi Hu looked at the worried Liu Guifei and comforted: "Concubine Ai, don't worry, I haven't reached the day when I kick my legs, no one dares to touch your mother and son!" ”
"The concubine knows that now His Majesty is fascinated by the county lord of Naliang, if His Majesty needs it, go and spoil the county lord of Liang, as long as His Majesty can think of our mother and son in his heart......"
"You ......" Shi Hu didn't know how to deal for a while.
Liu Guifei sobbed for a while, Shi Hu hugged Liu Guifei tightly in his arms, and finally spoke: "Aifei, you have to believe in me, your position in my heart is the most important!" ”
"Your Majesty will coax the concubines, and the concubines will not believe it!"
"Beloved concubine, I swear to heaven!" Shi Hu said with an oath.
"What's the use of you swearing, in case King Yan becomes the crown prince and inherits the throne in the future, then the county lord of Naliang will be the queen, and the concubines will not be bullied by the county lord of Naliang at that time?"
"That girl is not such a person, she will not bully you!" Shi Hu comforted.
"Look at you, you also say that the concubine is the most important! This helps other women to speak! Liu Guifei said, turned her head and got into the quilt, no longer caring about Shi Hu.
Shi Hu smiled with a somewhat embarrassed "hehe" and said, "Ai Fei......"
Liu Guifei snorted lightly, covered her ears with the quilt, and deliberately ignored Shi Hu.
Seeing that Liu Guifei ignored him, Shi Hu leaned over obscenely, pulled away the quilt in Liu Guifei's hand, and wanted to kiss her, but he didn't expect Liu Guifei to drill into the quilt again like a loach, but Shi Hu didn't kiss her.
"Concubine Ai, don't be angry with me, can't I talk to her if I don't help her?" Shi Hu said as he gently dragged Liu Guifei out of the bed.
Liu Guifei suddenly turned her head, looked at Shi Hu with wide eyes, and asked, "Is Your Majesty planning to make King Yan the crown prince?" ”
"Where did you start with this concubine?" Shi Hu naturally won't admit it.
"Just now the concubine said that if King Yan succeeded to the throne, the lord of Liang County would bully the concubine, Your Majesty only said that the lord of Liang County would not bully the concubine's mother and son, but never said that he would not let King Yan be the prince, doesn't this mean that His Majesty has already decided on the candidate for the prince in his heart?"
Shi Hu was stunned for a moment, Liu Guifei's words left him speechless, as if he had subconsciously regarded Shi Shi as his successor.
"I am still thinking about the matter of establishing a prince, so I don't have to worry about it." Shi Hu could only be so comforted.
"Anyway, if Your Majesty makes King Yan the prince, you will force the concubine and the child in the concubine's womb to death!" After Liu Guifei finished speaking, she pulled the quilt over her head and ignored Shi Hu.
Shi Hu looked at Liu Guifei helplessly, not knowing how to speak. To be honest, it has always been difficult for me to choose between Shi Zun and Shi Shi, and I don't know who is more suitable to choose as the prince. Since learning that Shi Zun failed to fight against the Huns, Shi Hu was really angry for a long time, so he immediately moved the idea of Lishi Shi as the prince.
In order to plan to establish Shi Shi as the prince, Shi Hu also specially arranged the marriage of Xihua Hou Mansion and Yan Wangfu, in order to make up for the weakness of Shi Shi's character.
Originally, Shi Hu's wishful thinking was very good, but after a thousand calculations, there was such a thing as Liu Guifei, which made Shi Hu start to be a little entangled for a while. If Shi Hu doesn't covet the county lord of Liang, he doesn't believe it himself, but the county lord of Liang is destined to not have a reputation, and Liu Guifei is a well-known vinegar jar, and the two must be incompatible. If you really want to make Shi Shi the prince, in case the lord of Liang County really targets Liu Guifei's mother and son in the future, then Liu Guifei really has no choice.
Thinking of this, Shi Hu suddenly fell asleep, and felt more and more headaches, so he lifted the quilt, got up and sat up, got out of bed and sat on the edge of the bed.
Liu Guifei found Shi Hu get up, secretly lifted the quilt and looked at Shi Hu, and when she saw Shi Hu getting up slowly, she quickly retracted her head into the quilt again, pretending to sleep, only revealing a slit, and quietly watched Shi Hu's every move.
Shi Hu walked around the house, thinking about it repeatedly. If Shi Zun is the prince, there will be no traitors usurping power, but Shi Zun's temperament is not in line with many civil and military officials in the court, especially for the Xihua Marquis father and son, Shi Zun has always been dissatisfied, but Shi Zhan and his son have tens of thousands of elite divisions in Zhao State, if the contradiction between Shi Zhan and the father and son intensifies, Shi Zhan and his son are not allowed to jump over the wall in a hurry.
After thinking about it, it seems that it will not work to remove the military power of Xihua Hou Shizhan. Those tens of thousands of soldiers are all Han Chinese, except for Shi Zhan's father and son, I am afraid that it is useless for anyone to command, once Shi Zhan's military power is suddenly cut, I am afraid that it will provoke the soldiers to mutiny, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Shi Hu thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and finally climbed into Liu Guifei's bed again and fell asleep in a daze.
