Seeing Zhang Deyu leave in a hurry, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Hong's mouth, this is what he wanted.

In the past, because Li Hong was weak, his character was weak, even if he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he was still regarded by many ministers, so he had Zhang Deyu's stupid behavior today.

But now Li Hong is different, so as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he needs to maintain the reputation of humility and gentleness that he won before, and he is also ready to establish his prestige as the prince.

After Zhang Deyu left, Li Hong said to Yan Zhuang on the side, "Let Li Duoqi come to see Gu-"

"No!" Yan Zhuang received the order, and after leaving for a while, Li Duoqi strode into the main hall, and Li Duoqi saw Li Hong, and was just about to give a salute, but he stopped him.

"In the afternoon, you go to Dali Temple and explain the process of this march to them clearly." Li Hong's voice was flat.

"No!" Li Duoqi bowed down to receive the order.

Li Hong glanced at the saber on Li Duoqi's waist, and suddenly said, "Show your saber to Lone." ”

Li Duoqi received the order, untied his saber, bowed forward and handed the knife to Li Hong. Li Hong took the knife and saw at a glance that this was a ceremonial knife, because the long knife was a ring hand, with an obvious diamond-shaped knife block, and a relatively obvious double hanging ring on the scabbard hung on the waist, or holding the top in both hands, or standing in front of him.

Because this exquisite ring-handed broadsword embodies the strong self-confidence and prestige of the Tang Dynasty, it will be used as an important weapon of the royal guards. Therefore, Gaozong was in the Xuanzheng Hall that day, Li Hong scolded that the ritual knife was not mass-produced, and was only equipped with his guards left and right Qianniu Wei and Li Hong's personal guards left and right prison gate rate mansion and left and right inner rate mansion. It is for this reason that the ritual knife can only be worn by the royal guards, and the real standard weapon of the Tang army is the horizontal knife.

Li Hong took the knife and looked at it several times before handing the knife to Li Duoqi and said in a deep voice, "In the future, the weapons of the guards of the East Palace will be changed to horizontal knives, and the knives will be sealed, and when the case in Huaxian County is clarified, you will send the knife to the ordnance prison." ”

Li Duoqi's body was shocked, and he replaced all the sabers of the East Palace with horizontal knives for the battlefield, which seemed to be a very subtle move, but he guessed the meaning of it, and hurriedly led the order, "Your Highness, don't worry, the last general will do it!"

"Yes!" Li Hong nodded slightly. Li Duoqi strode out of the Chongjiao Temple.

"Your Highness, do you really want to do this?" Yan Zhuang asked after Li Duoqi left. He is not a military general like Li Duoqi, he thinks more about Li Hong's move to change clothes, and he knows more about His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions, so he seems a little worried.

"Yan Zhuang, you said that we can take advantage of the opportunity of this Huaxian tragedy to reorganize the Ten Guards of the East Palace and train them into an elite army, isn't it better?" Li Hong smiled faintly and said, "If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult in the future!" ”

Yan Zhuang nodded slightly, he agreed with Li Hong's statement.

This Huaxian tragedy involved the prince's pro-army, and as the crown prince, Li Hong rectified the prince's ten guards at this time, it is estimated that no one will have any opinions, if it is placed in peacetime, Li Hong is even the prince, but this kind of issue involving military power, he dare not touch!

"In the evening, you take a few horizontal knives and send them to Lone's study." Li Hong thought for a while and said.

Because of his health, Gaozong has always disliked the military, so as Gaozong's guards, he can wear a knife and a knife.

But Li Hong is different, he is a person who is going to go to the battlefield in the future, so he doesn't want his personal guards to be dressed with a ceremonial knife, he needs his personal guards to have strong combat effectiveness. And the horizontal knife also has a lot of shortcomings, Li Hong is ready to let his personal guards wear the horizontal knife, so he can't help but face up to these shortcomings of the horizontal knife.

So he is now ready to find a way to get rid of the shortcomings of the horizontal knife and give full play to the power of the horizontal knife, only in this way can he let his pro-army wear the horizontal knife, which will be more meaningful!

In the evening, Yan Zhuang sent several luxuriously decorated horizontal knives to Li Hong's study.

Li Hong looked at it for a long time in the study with a horizontal knife, then asked Yan Zhuang to grind it for him, and he began to pick up a pen and write and draw on rice paper.

After a long time, a sketch of the design of the war knife appeared in front of Yan Zhuang's eyes.

Yan Zhuang couldn't believe when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so proficient in weapon design, but when he saw the new war knife drawn by Li Hong, he also deeply liked the new war knife on rice paper.

The shape of this war knife is similar to that of the Tang knife, it is also three feet long, the handle is one foot, it is single-edged, the ridge is very thick, and the tip of the knife is a cutting blade. However, it is not like the Tang knife is a straight knife, the blade is slightly curved, there is a double diamond blood groove on the knife body, and there is a ridge on the back of the knife.

The appearance of this knife is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also just from the sketch, you can see the murderous aura hidden in the blade of this new battle knife, this knife is definitely a killing weapon as long as it is forged.

"Your Highness, this knife..."Yan Zhuang was surprised.

"This is the knife designed by Lone, the war knife that is ready to be equipped with the Ten Guards of the East Palace, you take the sketch tomorrow and go to the prison, let them immediately build a few for Lone to see, if the lethality and durability are good, Lone will ask his father to mass-produce it." Li Hong said calmly.

Yan Zhuang was slightly stunned and said, "No-!" ”

Li Hong also ignored Yan Zhuang's demented expression, he continued to write some miserable exclamations on the sketch that he thought were necessary, and then stopped writing, he fell into contemplation again, and began to spend his steps in the study.

The current Tang knife forging mainly uses the technology of 100 steel refining and local quenching, and then there are two forging technologies of steel clamping and soil burning, Datang's war knife is probably going to a new level, right?

Thinking of this, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Li Hong's mouth.

"Your Highness, once this war knife is born, I am afraid that it will be infinitely powerful! Don't know what to call it? Yan Zhuang heard Li Hong's laughter, and then he came back to his senses and asked happily.

"It's not enough to say that it is infinitely powerful, but it is definitely much better than the current saber in the army, both in terms of forging technology and lethality." Li Hong said calmly, "The name-!" Embroidered clothes in the spring, when the sky is standing, the color clothes are trending to the court. Well, let's call it an embroidered spring knife! ”

"Embroidered spring knife, embroidered spring knife-!" Yan Zhuang silently read it twice, and couldn't help laughing happily, "Your Highness, what a sword name!" ”

Li Hong named the knife Xiuchun, which naturally has a deep meaning, and he designed this war knife and wrote the forging technique, which has his own purpose. However, thinking of the power that this war knife would exert on the battlefield in the future, he said in a stern tone, "Yan Zhuang, tomorrow when you go to the prison and tell them that when you forge this war knife, you must do a good job of secrecy and never leak it. ”

"Wechen understands!" How could Yan Zhuang not know the power of this war knife, so he bowed down and took the order.
