Episode 836: [Problem]
……
Puzzle, big puzzle!
Li Chengqian glanced at Gao Shilian resentfully.
Uncle, aren't you embarrassing me?
After Gao Shilian's words were finished, everyone else also turned their heads and looked at Li Chengqian, wanting to see if Li Chengqian had any strange ideas.
With so many people looking at him, of course he can't drop the chain at this time, not to mention the evil uncle and grandfather, and for his own face, he can't drop the chain.
Li Chengqian thought about it.
Now that gunpowder has appeared in Goguryeo, what are their gunpowder products? Is it a simple blast, or what? In what way was it launched, was it thrown? Is it catapult? Is it a suicide bomber?
In the intelligence of the spy, this situation is not clearly stated, this is a dereliction of duty on the part of the spy, speaking of which, the spy is in charge of Li Chengqian, and no one can blame him.
There is no way to know what Goguryeo's gunpowder products are like, so there is no way to formulate the best plan for their situation.
In this way, the strongest gunpowder products of Datang can only be used directly to demonstrate.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Lao Xiang and asked, "Director, did you make the Heavenly Maiden Flower Bomb I told you last time?" ”
When Cheng Lao heard this, his body straightened, and he replied: "I have made it recently, but I haven't experimented yet......"
As soon as these words came out, the speed of the Gunpowder Bureau was too slow. So all the generals and princes around him looked at him reproachfully.
Cheng Lao Xiang hurriedly said: "Although it has not been tested many times, the assembly is assembled and can be detonated at any time!" ”
Gao Shilian touched the beard on his chin. asked: "This celestial maiden scattered flower bombs, will definitely be able to drink Goguryeo?" ”
Li Chengqian didn't think about it, and said directly and confidently: "Yes." ”
Lao Li slapped his thigh. said: "Okay, tomorrow I will go with all Aiqing to take a look at the experiment of the female scattered flower bomb that day!" ”
As soon as these words came out. It's time to decide on tomorrow's itinerary.
"We have only received the first piece of information now, it has been more than ten days, and I don't know what the battle situation is ahead, I believe that after tomorrow, more information will come, and then we will be able to know how the war in Goguryeo is going and what kind of gunpowder they use." Li Chengqian said.
Several bigwigs nodded.
Now the temporary policy has been decided.
Heavy troops were stationed at the border and Goguryeo was allowed to retreat. The country invited envoys to see the demonstrations in Datang. Take out the heavyweight gunpowder and blow one up for them. Another is to wait for the latest intelligence information to come and then make a judgment.
The latter two are easy, but the front is heavily attacked, but it needs to be discussed carefully.
"I can't send out unknown soldiers in Datang, and I also need a name for heavy troops. Silla is our vassal state, and if we don't ask for help, we can't go and help ourselves. So. It is necessary for the Silla monarch to write a recital. If he doesn't even have this courtesy, then we'll let him die or die on his own! This is what Fang Xuanling said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed. It's very big brother is bullish.
After a few words, everyone was sure. If the king of Silla made a request, then they would immediately make a show. If Silla didn't, it wouldn't be too bad. For the sake of its own interests, Datang also wants to protect Silla. So secretly sent someone to stab him in the waist. Remind him. However, this kind of passive request, the bigwigs here are not satisfied. Silla will also pay a greater price!
Regardless of Silla's attitude, the army on his side still has to be prepared in advance, and when the division is famous, it can leave immediately.
The mobilization of troops and horses, the mobilization of grain and grass, who will do it, pretending to move troops against Goguryeo, will it cause Tufan, Turkic, and Tuhun Valley These countries to think that they really want to move troops, and they want to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty, and they must be prepared first. These questions were discussed one by one, and time slowly passed.
Li Chengqian naturally couldn't leave, so he supported himself and sat in his seat to listen.
He is still young, and he usually sleeps well, but at this time, he suddenly stayed up all night, and he was still very energetic. But the gang of old demons around him were really rightly told by Li Chengqian, they are really old demons. are all seventy or eighty years old, and the more they sit there, the more they talk, the more energetic they become, one by one as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, even Gao Shilian slapped the table as he spoke.
After changing the candles on the table twice, he found that the light of the candles was getting weaker and weaker, and Li Chengqian was about to call the eunuch to come in and add a few more, but he looked out the window, and the light was already shining in outside.
It's already dawn!
And the old people around the table didn't notice this at all, and they were still arguing, in order to be the last problem, they changed their guards.
Isn't it just the choice of two generals with different styles, one is the same style as Cheng Lao, a little crazy, a little crazy, notoriety, if you go there, you can be so scared that Tufan people don't dare to move. The other is the same as the combination of Li Jing and Fang Xuanling, with more literary style and warmth, and he is more good at business when he goes there. I went there to prevent Tufan, not to attack, so the general who would run the warm point would go to the end. But a prestige is a little bigger, and it goes to the top one and a half, which is more influential.
So the two groups of people quarreled endlessly.
Li Chengqian secretly patted his face, thinking that if he went to one and the other was idle in Chang'an, it would be better to go with the two, one chief and one political commissar, just right, two and a half at the top.
But they just like to be noisy like that.
With their IQ, they know that the way for the two to go together may be that all the problems have been discussed, and the last question, which is not much of a problem, is better used to make a noise and entertain everyone who has been tired all night.
This must be true, look at Lao Li has closed his eyes, and a finger is gently tapping on his knee, just like listening to a play, that one is scared!
Yes, Li Chengqian also closed his eyes, and he could listen to the play.
It's just that he hasn't been closed for long, when a eunuch comes over and says to Lao Li that the time for the last dynasty is almost up.
So Lao Li announced the end of the meeting, and he didn't need to change his clothes, and went directly to the court. And considering Uncle Gao's age, there is no need to go to the morning court today.
But Uncle Gao said that he would go to see the experiment of the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flower Bomb in a while, and now he will go to the court, and he can go in a while.
Lao Li agreed.
Lao Li patted his buttocks, and didn't go inside to change his clothes, so he wore civilian clothes and took a group of bigwigs to the court.
There were already ministers waiting there in the Taiji Palace, and they were all surprised to see Lao Li and these heavy-duty ministers walking in in civilian clothes, and then thought that there must be something big that made this core layer stay up until dawn.
At the beginning of the early dynasty, such a group of bigwigs who did not wear official uniforms suddenly became obviously much more special and noble than the people around them. And Li Chengqian is one of them, and he can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
Lao Li's handling of political affairs today is very simple, and everything is handled simply.
Just call back the small things and let the people of the three provinces deal with them, and then show him the big things for guidance, and after the three provinces make countermeasures, they will show him.
The time used in the early dynasty was two-thirds of the usual, and then Lao Li retired from the dynasty.
After retiring from the court, Lao Li returned to the harem. Before leaving, arrange for the bigwigs to rest in the room of the palace for the officials on duty, and wait a while to see the explosion experiment.
As the director of the Gunpowder Bureau, Cheng Laoxiang did not rest, and he immediately rushed to the Gunpowder Bureau. Li Jing, as the deputy director, also followed him.
In the early dynasties, the ministers felt that something big must have happened or had already happened, and they all wanted to know what kind of big thing it was.
And the bigwigs are not shutting up. Because there are also factions in the court, they will reveal some news about their relatives.
As a result, the ministers all knew that there was a war in Goguryeo, and it was against the vassal state Silla.
The ministers were nervous.
But this is because the bigwigs didn't tell them about the gunpowder, otherwise, it wouldn't have exploded!
Li Chengqian went to the East Palace and was warmly greeted by three women, followed by washing his face and serving breakfast.
And Wu Zhao, who explained half of the rules of the East Palace to her last night, I don't know if she listened to it or not, anyway, she doesn't have any abnormal expression now.
On the surface, the East Palace still looks very harmonious, which reassures Li Chengqian.
After breakfast, Li Chengqian closed his eyes on the soft chair and squinted for a while, and a eunuch came to pass the word, and Lao Li asked him to set off.
Li Chengqian stood up, tidied up his clothes, and walked out.
At this time, the eunuch said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty asked you to put on armor!" ”
"Huh? My father also wore it? Li Chengqian stopped and asked.
The eunuch nodded yes.
So Li Chengqian had no choice but to turn around and go back and ask a few women to help him put on his armor.
Su Mi didn't know if she remembered the last time she wore this armor, and her eyes began to turn red when she was wearing it.
I went, this time I went out to see the experiment, it's just a new invention of thermal weapons, so Lao Li will come up with wearing armor, but it's not going to war, this is also scolding?
Li Chengqian glanced at her and said, "Don't cry!" ”
Su Mi was drunk by this, but she laughed out loud.
And Xiao Chen also saw the lessons of the past, closed his mouth, and put away the tears in his eyes.
After putting on the armor, as soon as Li Chengqian walked around, the armor piece rattled.
Riding a horse, he arrived to meet Lao Li, who led 500 cavalry before and after, which was the force to defend him.
Li Chengqian's escort force was not allowed to approach, and they all stood behind.
When several bigwigs arrived, Lao Li gave an order and went to the gunpowder bureau outside the city.
Cheng Lao Cargo was wearing a thick armor and stood outside the Gunpowder Bureau, greeting Lao Li.
More than 1,000 cavalrymen were taken to the experimental site by a janissary beside Cheng Laoxiang for inspection, and after a while, they were safe before they came over to invite Lao Li over.
