Xue Juzheng said with a smile: "On the surface, Tian Chongjin is a general from the Shi family, he has been an official outside all these years, and he has kept in touch with the Shi family openly and secretly, and let Shi Baoji go to Hebei, first, it can block the truth, showing how the establishment of the Tang Dynasty court is in accordance with the will of heaven to win the hearts of the people, and he has not done anything to harm the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Lu Fei was shocked again, and said: "Xue Xianggong is really like a god, how do you know that I want to delay time." ”

Xue Juzheng laughed and said: "Even if Cao Mengde is reincarnated in a short period of time, it will be impossible to stabilize the current palace front division, although General Lu is smart, it also takes time, and I heard that General Lu wants to reorganize a partial army, it is for the Tiger Army, which all takes time, is the old man right?" ”

Lu Fei was speechless for a while, and only then did he say: "Mr. Jieye, then you can tell me why it is beneficial and harmless for me to let Shi Baoji go to Hebei." ”

Xue Juzheng was silent for a while, his expression became a little heavy, and after a while, he said slowly: "There are some things that the old man is inconvenient to break, let it be tacit, the old man only said one sentence, Tian Chongjin's ambition is not small, it is definitely not a tongue that can be moved, Shi Baoji is the emperor of the former dynasty, and Tian Chongjin's old master, the so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers, according to the old man's humble opinion, now General Lu should not worry about whether Shi Baoji will take refuge in Tian Chongjin, but should worry about whether he will go to Hebei." ”

Xue Juzheng's words made Lu Fei suspicious, the first thing to be hit by reforming the forbidden army is those former relatives and nobles who are famous in the forbidden army, borrowing a knife to kill Lu Fei asked himself that no one would know, but he didn't expect to be seen by Xue Juzheng here today.

When leaving the Xue Mansion, Lu Fei suddenly asked: "Xue Xianggong had a deep prejudice against Xia before, after just a few days, you seem to have changed as a person, why is this?" ”

Xue Juzheng said with a smile: "General Lu did what the old man wanted to do but didn't dare and couldn't do anything, the old man admired, and the old man only learned yesterday that you were going to form the Tiger Ben Army. ”

The two went out hand in hand and laughed.

**

Coming from a thousand years later, as a very unique person in this world, not to mention that now that he is in power and has adapted to this environment, Lu Fei has always felt that he can do great things in his heart and make the world change according to his own will.

Since the Tokyo Mutiny seized power, in just a few months, he has been able to lift his weight in the Tang Dynasty, looking at the court, it seems that no one has really dared to become his opponent, the only fly in the ointment is those border generals who are more courageous than themselves, maybe there are fewer people in this world, he may be unhurried to the throne of the emperor...... Suddenly, Lu Fei looked back on the past and felt that he had done it fast enough, so fast that he was overwhelmed.

Sometimes big things can't be too fast, back then, Emperor Yang of Sui was to build a canal and conquer Goryeo, because he was anxious to think of a big deal, and as a result, he lost all his old capital! Later generations had to sigh: If there is no water temple dragon boat incident, Gongyu will not have much merit.

However, Lu Fei was not satisfied with his current speed, and felt that he was bound by something and had not been able to enjoy himself. It's like this bustling Bianliang City, where Lu Fei stays every day like a cage.

Now, he can only sit here and patiently look at a document written by the ancients without punctuation. The content is very boring, but you can't help but think about it carefully.

What's wrong?

He had to secretly warn himself: big things are made up of small things.

When Zhao Jiong established the Great Song Dynasty, he tried to dilute the atmosphere of rebellion among the military generals during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms by governing the country with literature, he must not have imagined that it had only been a few years, and the power center in charge of the world pattern had once again fallen into the hands of the soldiers, and fell into the hands of Lu Fei, the former secretary of the Tang Palace.

It's ridiculous that all the efforts made by Zhao Jiong before his death were in vain.

In the eyes of others, Lu Fei was very calm, he could sit for an hour or two at a time, and he had been reading the file there, as if he was reading a very interesting idle book, reading page by page...... In fact, he is not so idle, but he can't panic, and he is helpless.

He can even do this kind of thing without distraction in the noisy front hall of the palace, but he will suddenly interject a sentence in the place where everyone is arguing, which makes others a little confused whether he is reading the file or listening to everyone.

…… At this time, Xiang Xun, the commander of the Tianwu Army, came over and said: "Lu Dianshuai, the military situation in Hebei is flourishing one day, and a few of us have discussed it, do you think this arrangement is possible?" Three days is a round, and I am on duty with the old general Huyanzan, responsible for the reorganization of the forbidden army and the transfer of military rations to Hebei in advance; After that, Gao Shun and General Li Jilong were on duty, but I don't know if General Li Jilong was cured or not, and the two generals were responsible for sorting out the military situation in the five border passes, of which the Hebei military situation was the mainstay. ”

Lu Fei didn't look up, he still looked down the word column, and said casually: "I will add a sentence according to the general's request, I will be in front of the palace every single day." ”

Xiang Xunbai retreated to the bookcase outside the screen, and said to the other two: "Lu Dianshuai agreed." ”

The three of them all responded with their fists clenched, all in the same room, and everyone had already heard the conversation between Lu Fei and Xiang Xun just now.

After the small episode, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, in fact, they didn't need to quarrel, but in this way it could be seen that they were not the former boss of the white hall.

"General Huyan, how is the disarmament of the Divine Guard Army progressing in the matter of disarming the five thousand?"

The sudden sound made the hall quickly quiet, and everyone turned their eyes to Lu Fei, who was still reading at his desk.

Everyone stared at each other in a daze.

The deliberations of the front secretary of the palace are not court discussions, nor are they promoted to military tents, so everyone, including Lu Fei, is neither wearing court clothes nor armor, all of them are wearing wide robes and big sleeves.

Hu Yanzan shook his robe and said casually: "The last general is still urging." ”

The perfunctory answer didn't introduce too many words from Lu Fei, just a very flat 'um' and continued to bury his head.

It seems that everyone is also used to his style, and the hall is just a little quiet and it will soon resurge, but these people are idle and idle, but the thoughts in their hearts are all ghosts, and some people are not glancing at Lu Fei from time to time.

Of course, Lu Fei looked at people with such a light-hearted attitude, not happy, not angry, not anxious, and not noisy, and the gods couldn't guess what he was thinking and what he was going to do.

In this way, it was noon again, and everyone left for a while, and there was an hour of lunch and rest. Lunch is provided by the public.

Just as everyone was going to the dining hall, someone walked into the front of the temple with the seal letter of the Ministry of Works.

Lu Fei had a poor appetite, so he left with the people of the Ministry of Industry after dealing with a few mouthfuls of the Five Organs Temple.

The yamen of the Ministry of Industry was originally separated by a wall in the southern imperial city, close to the royal street, only after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Fei let people open a separate place in the southern imperial city, and the crime was strictly guarded, and even people like Xue Juzheng didn't know what was inside.

Entering the Suzaku Gate, along the root of the inner imperial city wall to the east, walk about 500 steps to arrive, there is no handwriting on the plaque on the head, the courtyard is surrounded by stubborn armor soldiers, it looks particularly mysterious.

As soon as he entered the door, someone had already reported that Dai Xiong hurriedly came out to greet him.

Dai Xiong said straightforwardly: "General Lu, today's mother's fortieth birthday, Xia Guan wants to take a leave in the afternoon." ”

Lu Fei frowned, and the person also stopped, and said strangely: "Take leave? Didn't you say that something was made? ”

Dai Xiong nodded, and said: "I have tried a few times, and it has improved compared to the previous one, so I will not ask the general to test it immediately, if it doesn't work, I will improve it, but this time it is only the 'fire thunder' that has taken effect, and the 'musket' subordinate is still groping." ”

While speaking, Dai Xiong had led Lu Fei to the back of the firearms room, there was a heat wave inside, and the craftsman was still shirtless in the winter weather, Dai Xiong hurriedly waved his hand, and the foreman hurriedly asked the craftsman to carry out the basket with a few round lumps.

Lu Fei looked at it and said, "Why is it so big?" Didn't I say that this thing can be exploded when thrown out, you can throw it at me if it's so big! ”

The fire and thunder are bigger than football, and it is thanks to these people who can think of it.

The foreman hurriedly said: "It's too small to stuff gunpowder." It was a painstaking thing to cast, first casting two petals, then casting it with molten iron; I'm going to get a drill and drill a hole......"

"Why don't you try it first, you can blow it up." Dai Xiong said.

Lu Fei couldn't laugh or cry.

The crowd took refuge behind a wall, and then called the craftsman down to prepare a long lead. The craftsman lit it, and when he saw the lead smoking, he ran away.

Lu Fei also found a cover surrounded by a group of entourage, he poked his head out and looked at the iron bump, and laughed in his heart, even if this thing can be exploded, who has the strength to throw it as a 'grenade' to the enemy.

After a long while, there was a sudden "bang", and the flash of fire rushed up.

The lump of iron exploded into two lobes at once, jumped twice on the ground, and then stopped moving, leaving only white smoke to fill.

It took a long time for the smoke to dissipate, and Lu Fei hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Dai Xiong and the foreman looked at each other, and Lu Fei's tone was annoyed: "Is this a bomb or a gourd scoop, I want fragments, blown into pieces." ”

A foreman said aggrievedly, "We use the brittle cast iron...... It may be that the place where it was cast is too unsturdy. ”

Dai Xiong frowned and said, "Next time use stones!" It was hollowed out, stuffed with gunpowder, and rammed to death with mud. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The official and the two concurrently heads hurriedly answered.

Lu Fei waved his hand and said in an unkind tone: "No matter what you use, what I want can be blown to pieces, and any person from among you can throw it five feet away, otherwise this thing can only blow up your own people." ”

Dai Xiong also counted on taking a leave of absence, but now it was completely out of play.

Lu Fei said again: "Didn't you say that the musket is also beginning to take shape, take it and let me see." ”

It didn't take long for several craftsmen to get a few 'muskets' nearly two feet long from the workshop.

When Lu Fei saw it, his heart was a little relieved, and whether he could make a sound or not, he finally had the appearance of a gun.

Because the cast copper gun is thick and short, the range is not good, the effective killing is only twenty steps, and if it hits the thick armor, the lead shot may not be able to penetrate. Therefore, Lu Fei once asked to use iron to try to make a pipe.

No one can drill an iron pipe out of an iron rod; Can only be forged. Hard cast iron shatters as soon as it is sold, and cannot be forged; Only soft wrought iron can be used.

Lu Fei took the musket, put it in his hand and looked at it back and forth, and then handed it to a craftsman on the side, and said, "Go, I'll listen to it!" ”

Because of the iron bump and the bird-like shape just now, Dai Xiong was in a low mood and anxiously waiting for the results of the iron pipe test.

As expected...... As soon as the gunpowder exploded in the chamber, the barrel was directly deformed.

"Alas......" Lu Fei raised his head and sighed. Xindao: Can these people make useful things?

Dai Xiong sent Lu Fei out of the gate in a very depressed mood, and when he was about to go out, Lu Fei pointed to Dai Xiong's nose and said: "Don't waste my work with these rags in the future, I'll give you half a month, and if you can't make it within half a month, I'll throw you into the furnace to refine." ”

Lu Fei was really angry, the war in Hebei said that it would be fought.

This is the first time Dai Xiong has seen Lu Fei angry, he is really a little afraid, he didn't even dare to reach out to wipe the black ash on his face, arched his hands and bent over to Lu Fei who was going down the steps: "Congratulations to General Lu!" ”

Lu Fei ignored him, jumped on the horse angrily, pulled the reins, the front hooves of the white horse took off, and when he was about to jump away, Lu Fei said: "Give you half a day off, and I will come to inspect the goods in half a month!" Drive! ”

**

On that day, Queen Zhou Wei transferred the file of the palace front division, this matter is not a big deal, but it gave Lu Fei a revelation, if you want to know who in the palace front division of the forbidden army has something to do with whom, don't you know if you transfer it and read it?

Of course, each person's file in the front division of the palace is just a simple identity information form, and if you want to see the detailed resume, you still have to go to the Privy Council, strictly speaking, Lu Fei has no right to go to the Privy Council to do this.

After thinking about it, Queen Zhou can help him, and he hasn't seen the queen for several days, Lu Fei said in his heart.

Lu Fei made some preparations, and waited for the sun to rise before entering the palace. Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate are the Imperial City Gate where he sent troops to garrison, it is very convenient to enter and exit, enter from Donghua Gate, cross an arch bridge to bypass a corridor, you can see the tall and towering buildings of Kunning Palace, and the sight is open.

When he walked outside the Kunning Palace, he heard the eunuch singing: "Lu Fei will be inspected in front of the Xuan Palace." ”

Lu Fei walked up the steps, was searched as usual, took his sword, followed the eunuch into the main hall, and walked back from the corridor next to him.

was taken into a palace room at the back, Lu Fei walked in to take a look, and saw that it was very spacious, full of bookshelves and cases, and no one; Inside, there was a barrier made of brocade and wooden frames, and the brocade was light and thin, and the people inside could be faintly seen moving. Lu Fei couldn't see who was inside, so he had to hold a stack of files around his waist, kneel outside and kowtow: "Minister Lu Fei came to see the queen." ”

A quiet and gentle voice inside said, "Let him come in and talk." ”

As soon as Lu Fei got up, he saw a door on the barrier being pushed open horizontally, and a palace woman dressed in linen and filial piety, and seven or eight young women wearing purple round-necked robes and combing their hair buns came out of it.

The women quietly stepped away and stood outside. When Lu Fei entered, the door was still open. Zhou Wei sat behind a table inside, still wearing linen and filial piety, and when she saw Lu Fei, her face turned red, her eyes seemed to be a little brighter, and she gradually smiled.

Lu Fei looked at the light satin and the open door behind him slightly, so he had to bend down and salute: "Queen, the ministers have important matters." ”

Zhou Wei said: "The people outside are all Jinyiwei, they won't leak anything, you ...... Tell me about it closely. ”
