A month has passed in a flash, and it is already the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the wind and sunshine are beautiful.

Since Guo Yi served as the crown prince's concubine, Liu Wei's evaluation in front of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has skyrocketed. Guo Yi taught the two brothers according to their aptitude, let Liu Wei major in Cifu, let Liu Xie major in literature and history, and at the same time taught them various court etiquette.

Originally, as a prince, they had a special etiquette course teacher, but Liu Wei was "frivolous" by nature and did not pay much attention to etiquette issues. But he admired Guo Yi's poetry and writing, was willing to listen to him, and reluctantly used dim sum in etiquette.

Liu Xie is a good boy, coupled with a flexible brain, he learns quickly, and he has always been more strict and self-disciplined, which is especially rare for a child.

Guo Yi finished the course and went to Lantai to check out the books by the way. As the national library of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lantai treasures countless pre-Qin and Han classics, most of which were lost when Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, causing a huge loss to Chinese culture.

As Guo Yi improved papermaking, the price of paper plummeted. This, coupled with the birth of movable type printing, made it possible to mass-produce books. The imperial court also accepted Guo Yi's suggestion to make all the classics of Lantai paper-based and publish them throughout the country.

"Oh, isn't this Lord Guo?" In charge of the printing of Lantai books, it was the craftsman who used to be the temple, and he was naturally a little happy to see Guo Yi.

Guo Yi didn't remember such a person very well, so he asked: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name." ”

The other party smiled and said, "Xiaguan's surname is Xu, and his name is Sanqiu." I am on duty at the temple of the shosaku. I heard that Master Guo has been promoted, and I am gratifying. ”

Xu Sanqiu? It seems that he was born as a craftsman. In the Han Dynasty, a single name was precious, and anyone with a little status was a single name, while those from poor families or lowly backgrounds were usually double names.

"Lord Xu is polite. Is there something to do with me? ”

"Yes." Xu Sanqiu nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "The adults are kind to me, but they can't repay it." I heard that the adults were fighting in the north and south, and their martial arts were extraordinary, so I wanted to create a set of weapons for the adults and talk about their hearts. ”

Guo Yi already has a dragon tail gun, and there is not much demand for weapons. But thinking of Zhao Yun and Yan Hua, it seems that they still need some good weapons. "What about the steelmaking technology of the temple now?"

Xu Sanqiu reported seriously: "I waited day and night to study the technology mentioned by adults, and finally achieved some results, and now it is very easy to make steel." A few days ago, a batch of ore was brought from Liangzhou, which is just right to try. ”

"Well......" Guo Yi thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'll give you the drawings, and you will be responsible for forging." I'll pay for it. ”

"Thank you, sir." Hearing that there were drawings, Xu Sanqiu was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

When he got home, Guo Yi gathered everyone if they needed to forge weapons.

Zhao Yun asked for a spear, and the request was silver-white. His original gun was discounted by Guo Yi, and he has always used an ordinary spear. Then I want a three-foot blue blade to use as a foot fight.

Yan Hua asked for a long sword, she was good at swordsmanship, and most of them were not in the military formation, but single-handedly and assassinated. It is completely different from the use of the military formation that Zhao Yun asked for enough to split the armor.

White Sparrow asks for two short two-foot-long swords to facilitate her assassination. Red Feather hopes to have a bow that is lighter, but has a higher range, crosshair, and power.

Elle, Zero, and Ross all had to be equipped with scimitars, and they came with their own blueprints, standard Persian scimitars. The Damascus steel used in the Persian scimitar is called "dark iron" in the Central Plains and is extremely fine. Guo Yi was not sure that the temple would be able to create a scimitar of the same level.

Pound asked for two halberds, which were heavy and easy to chop. Fan Xin only needs a sword to show his status as a "scribe".

Guo Yi listened to their requests and designed the drawings himself, also wanting to take this opportunity to raise the level of production of weapons in the Han Dynasty.

Especially for bows and arrows, Guo Yi fully adopts the characteristics of modern bows and arrows, and puts forward detailed requirements for structure and materials. The design of the arrow is based on the arrow axe captured from the Qiang people. This arrow once almost killed Guo Yi, which impressed him deeply.

and tailored a set of armor for Zhao Yun and Pang De.

Xu Sanqiu took the drawings, his hands trembled with joy, and he thanked him for saying that he would definitely live up to Guo Yi's trust.

While Guo Yi was busy with his various things, there was already an undercurrent in the palace.

The ten permanent attendants who were responsible for taking care of Emperor Han Ling's diet and daily life already knew quite well that Emperor Han Ling would not last long. The parade originally planned to be held on the first day of May may not be able to participate.

If the emperor is gone, the canonization of the new monarch must be put on the agenda! Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who had always firmly ordained Liu Xie in the past, suddenly changed in this month. He felt that Liu Wei liked poetry, which was very similar to him. And recently, Liu Bian's treatment of people has also changed, and it seems that he is getting better in the direction of Renjun.

He Jin and others took the opportunity to say something about Liu Wei, who was smart and studious, and that knowing his mistakes could improve Mo Dayan. Emperor Han Ling was originally a person who only knew how to enjoy and had no opinions, but when he was messed up like this, his tendencies in his heart were different.

This is like sitting on pins and needles for the ten permanent servants. You must know that they can be so powerful for a while, all because of the emperor's favor. Once Liu Wei ascends the throne, then He Jin will definitely clean them all up! And the Ten Standing Servants have always been at odds with Queen He, and they have ridiculed her for being a pig killer, if she is in power, she will definitely settle the score!

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhongyi combined, this is not good! If you don't think about it, you're going to have your head on the ground!

Zhao Zhong gritted his teeth with hatred and cursed: "This country boy who kills a thousand knives! It's a big thing to ruin us! ”

Zhang Rang sighed and said helplessly: "Now the emperor has begun to disobey us." is obedient to Guo Yi's words, how is this good? ”

Jian Shuo smiled slightly, and said confidently: "We have military power in our hands, and I won't have the final say on the situation in the palace at that time?" ”

Zhang Rang immediately spoke and mocked, "Your soldiers, compared to Guo Yi's dragoon battalion, I'm afraid they are far behind." ”

The name of the dragoon battalion was made in Liangzhou, and all of them were ruthless characters who crawled out of the pile of dead people. These soldiers of the Eighth Lieutenant of the West Garden were all farmers who had just learned to use weapons other than hoes.

Jian Shuo was not happy when he heard this, he raised his sleeves and said angrily: "Since this is the case, then don't plan with me." If you have the ability, what can you take into your head! ”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Zhao Zhong looked at his departure, his face was cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill him sooner or later!" ”

The rest of the people nodded in unison, they had never been able to walk together. But at present, he has to make use of Jian Shuo's troops, and he is just a snake and a snake.

Zhang Rang gritted his teeth and said, "It's all Guo Yi's fault." It's better to find a chance to kill him! ”

"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhao Zhong sighed and said hatefully: "This person's army takes the head of the enemy general from it, just like probing for something." None of us are able-bodied, we are not opponents. ”

"Then let him leave Luoyang." One person offered a plan in a low voice and said, "Wang Lian and Wang Zhi brothers in the palace are available." ”
