In the next few days, Zhao Xian lived directly in the Ordnance Division and developed arquebuses with the craftsmen, because the principle was simple and the craftsmen were not general, so they really rushed to produce two.

And Dongying's group of envoys had been impatient to wait for a long time, and they were about to leave countless times, forcing the court to agree to their requests, but unfortunately they met Zhao Xian, a foreign minister who did not give face at all, and their efforts were not effective, and they did not achieve their goal Takeda Nobuyashi was unwilling to leave, so he could only ask to see the Emperor Jianshi three times a day. Emperor Jianshi was overwhelmed by cumbersome political criminals all day long, and he didn't even have the time to go out to play, so how could he pay attention to Dongying, and he didn't bother to ask after handing over the errand to Zhao Xian.

Takeda Nobuyama was distressed by this, so he could only change to look for Zhao Xian three times a day. Although Zhao Xian made a sample of the arquebus, he couldn't just give it to Dongying, he had to take the best things into his own hands, and he had to get the rifled gun out first.

With the drawings given by Su Wanyun, it is simple to manufacture parts, but it is difficult for Zhao Xian to carve out the rifling, if it is carved in advance, it is obviously not possible to roll out the barrel, this has to make a special broaching machine, Zhao Xian is not a know-it-all and does not understand this, Liu Yan'er brothers and sisters can't do anything about it, and the progress of the rifled gun has stopped.

At noon, Zhao Xian was dressed and ran, wearing a square scarf on his head, and in the courtyard of the Ordnance Division, the tiger and tiger dancing with spears in hand were vigorous, which attracted several craftsmen who ate loudly, and even the two guards stopped fighting crickets.

Although things have been busy in recent days, Zhao Xian did not dare to leave the matter of practicing martial arts behind, he will have to go to the battlefield again sooner or later, although he has a large number of personal soldiers to protect him. But it's also a good thing to be strong in martial arts, and you can't always let others protect you.

What's more, for Zhao Xian, who calls himself a pure master, it's a shame that he can't beat a woman, he was grabbed and bitten and bullied by Yijun, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and then he will clean you up after he has practiced martial arts...

And Liu Yan'er, who had nothing to do, sat in the shade of the steps outside the West House, carefully taking care of a pear tree in the yard, frowning lightly and still thinking about the rifling problem. She didn't understand what it was for. However, seeing that Zhao Xian attaches so much importance to it, he is also very curious in his heart, and he has been worrying about this matter for the past few days.

For a moment, Zhao Xian seemed to be pulling the wound in his chest too hard. I couldn't help but snort and stopped. Frustrated, he stuck his spear on the ground.

Spit. Turning his head to look at the pear blossoms on the edge of the courtyard, his heart moved, and he groaned in a poetic voice: "The path of the West Garden is faint, and the sunshine sinks and the fish jumps into the clear pool." Suddenly, a thousand branches of snow appeared, and the southern country had passed the cold winter. Good poetry, good poetry..."

Liu Yan'er woke up. Hearing this poem, I can't help but miss Jiangnan, which is already full of flowers at this time. She turned her head and glanced at Zhao Xian, and said with a chuckle: "Zhao Xian's interest seems to be good, he is still in the mood to chant poetry while dancing with knives and guns, and after leaving Changzhou for a few months, Gongzi must be homesick." ”

Zhao Xian stretched his waist and said with a smile: "It's a little bit, pinch your fingers to calculate Huang Tianba... Ahem, it's time for my girl to come to Kyoto, and I miss her if I haven't seen her for a long time. ”

Liu Yan'er and Huang Tiantian are best friends because of their parents' relationship, and they can't help but be happy when they see her coming. But when she heard the words 'my girl every day', she hummed again: "My sister every day has been bullied by you since she was a child, and she has complained to me a lot, and when she grows up, she still has to bend to you, a wicked person, it's really providential." ”

Zhao Xian didn't care, it was fate to fight with the little girl every day since she was a child and fight to the bed, if you are not used to it, roll up your sleeves and start fighting, this is called honesty, what can you understand like this Jiaojiao Lady. He smiled when he heard it: "Miss Yan'er, don't you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and you are jealous of my family every day?" ”

Liu Yan'er has been teased about a lot in recent days, but her face is still red, and she just wanted to open her mouth to refute, when she suddenly saw a person walking outside, with a high bun and white clothes like snow, with a different kind of cold temperament. Liu Yan'er saw that someone was coming, I was afraid that she was looking for Zhao Xian, and she didn't want to take her here to enter the West House.

"Zhao Xian, you're so interested." Before the people arrived, Su Wanyun came to the courtyard slowly and lightly, looked at Zhao Xian, who was high-spirited and handsome, and chuckled: "It's just that you don't go back to your house all day, and you still have the leisure to hook up with women here, and you live a very comfortable life." ”

Zhao Xian picked up a robe from the table not far away next to him and put it on, there were two arquebuses and a lot of drawings on the table, he patted his clothes, and said a little helplessly: "Sister Su, don't be kidding, I've been busy with the fire gun in recent days. ”

"Oh?!" Su Wanyun's eyes flashed slightly, and her gaze fell on the arquebus on the table. Seeing the rough shape, she felt strange in her heart, picked it up and looked at it carefully, frowned and said: "No, the drawing I gave you doesn't seem to be this, are you mistaken?" ”

Of course, Zhao Xian was not mistaken, he explained the reason for making the arquebus, and then said: "I will keep the drawings you gave for my own use, and this thing is enough for Dongying." ”

Su Wanyun put down the arquebus, chuckled a few times and said, "Okay, as long as you can convince Dongying, you can keep these things." ”

When Zhao Xian heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, and he leaned over to her, "Sister Su, I really want to keep it for myself, but the rifling... It is the thread on this that requires a special broaching machine to carve out, since you have a drawing of a rifled gun, there should be a manufacturing method for this broaching machine, right? ”

Su Wanyun glanced at Zhao Xian a few times, and saw that he was indeed embarrassed, and couldn't help but hesitate in her heart.

She gave Dongying the drawings of the rifled gun, but she was sure that they couldn't carve the rifling accurately, and they couldn't make it with the drawings.

Now Zhao Xian wants to carve the rifling method, if he is given it, he will indirectly give it to the Liang army, which is not a good thing for the Northern Qi, in case Zhao Xian really convinces the Liang court to manufacture large-scale equipment and firearms against the Northern Qi, it will be a big thing.

Su Wanyun thought about it, then shook her head and said: "You don't even have an army under your hands now, it's too early to think about this, and you just have to be busy with business, like these things, you tell me, I will find a way to help you make them, what if you need to stay up late outside and get tired of your body." She pointed to the arquebus next to her, something that had long been eliminated by the Northern Qi Dynasty. It is indeed not cost-effective to let Zhao Xian bother and work hard, and it is his most important thing to make friends with high-ranking officials of the imperial court to fight for power.

Zhao Xian looked at her curiously, and asked with a smile, "Sister Su, you won't care about me, right?" ”

This is a rare thing, since she met her, she has always been cold and only talks about things without feelings, and suddenly cares about her body, Zhao Xian is very surprised.

"I'm afraid that you'll die, and it's not good for the An family if you die." Su Wanyun glanced at him lightly, and then said no more. turned around and entered Zhao Xian's workshop, the West House.

Worrying about me dying is also a kind of concern. Zhao Xian nodded with a good feeling for himself. I followed in.

Liu Yan'er was sitting at the desk in the room writing something, her expression was extremely focused, and when she saw someone coming in, she got up in surprise. Put away the things on the table. Strange glance at the woman who came in.

Zhao Xian was about to introduce it. Before he could speak, he saw Su Wanyun 'huh', and her face was a little wrong. walked straight to Liu Yan'er, reached out and grabbed her arm to investigate.

"Hey! Who are you? Liu Yan'er was obviously unhappy, and she was busy trying to break free, but she was Su Wanyun's opponent, and she struggled for a long time to no avail, so she could only ask.

Zhao Xian was also inexplicable, walked over and inserted himself between the two, and said strangely: "Sister Su, what's wrong?" Although you are a woman, you can't easily pull a woman's hand, if she is a Lala and accidentally captures someone's heart, you have to be responsible, of course, you can't bear it, I can help you, you can help both of you. ”

Su Wanyun ignored Zhao Xian's nonsense, and took a closer look at Liu Yan'er's face: with a hint of sickly paleness, and her pulse was weak.

Her face became a little solemn, she was silent for a moment, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, this girl's health is not very good, she needs to rest more." ”

This is not nonsense, everyone can see it. Zhao Xian didn't notice the pity in her eyes, only that she said that Liu Yan'er was very weak, and she didn't say much.

Liu Yan'er's face darkened slightly, she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything, she just smiled indifferently, and after thanking Su Wanyun for her concern, she ran to the side and continued to work on the installation of the firecracker.

Zhao Xian had nothing to do, so he took Su Wanyun to a large table in the room, on which was placed a strange big box, mysteriously covered with a red cloth. Zhao Xian opened it proudly, revealing the contents inside, and proudly introduced the masterpieces of the past few days to her...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the afternoon, Zhao Xian was discussing the matter of pulling the bed with several craftsmen, and a eunuch suddenly came to the Ordnance Department to summon him into the palace, but he didn't tell him anything specifically.

Zhao Xian thought it was something about Dongying, so he hurriedly asked people to prepare samples of arquebuses, and followed the little eunuch into the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, the little eunuch ran there without knowing it, and a few guards who followed him were also stopped and replaced by Gong E's front to guide the way.

Zhao Xian sensed that something was wrong in his heart, but he also vaguely guessed a few points, and heard Huayu say that Fuguotang was going to attack him, this time I am afraid that the queen is looking for herself, but how is she going to play with herself, seducing me or seducing me?

Thinking wildly, about half an hour to a side hall, the hall is elegantly furnished, the countryside is curtain, the ground is covered with colorful brocade velvet felt, two jade bottles, and a few tall corals are inserted. Zhao Xian didn't dare to look around, and when he looked up, he saw Queen Xiao leaning lazily on the chair, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Weichen Zhao Xian, meet the queen." ”

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Queen Xiao sighed faintly: "Zhao Qing is exempt from courtesy." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Xian got up gently, lowered his eyes and took two steps back, raised his eyes and glanced up, only to see that she was long and well-maintained, with the queen temperament of the mother, Dao is really a little tempting, but unfortunately now there is a little resentment and coldness on his face, just like seeing a negative man who raped himself first and then killed and then raped and then killed.

Zhao Xian's body stiffened slightly, and he sighed secretly: There is something wrong with the scene, it was good to me to smile and smile before, how can you turn over and become a queen, are you going to give me a hard one? This tone is not unacceptable.

Thinking to herself, Empress Dowager Xiao coughed, gently held the incense forehead, and said quietly: "Zhao Xian, this palace has heard about something in recent days..."

At this point, she paused.

Zhao Xian didn't know why, and lowered his eyes and said: "Forgive Weichen for being stupid, and ask the mother to make it clear." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao changed her posture and leaned on the couch, looked at him lightly and said, "According to Jiao Fei, the servant of the Criminal Department, the imperial doctor Cheng Qing was on the day of the death of the first emperor. found that the drug residue was wrong for a drug, and then you proved that the drug residue was no different, and Cheng Qing committed suicide in fear of sin, yes or no? ”

Zhao Xian's cranky thoughts were instantly retracted, and his face changed immediately, he didn't expect Jiao Fei to report this matter to Empress Dowager Xiao.

Although Fuguotang is also a faction in the court, it is different from ordinary factions such as An Jia and Xu Chengxiang, they always support the orthodoxy of the royal family and the royal family wears a pair of pants, even if they have ambitions to override the supremacy of imperial power, they will try their best to keep the puppet emperor surnamed Ye to a constitutional monarchy. The foundation of Fuguotang is the world's scholars. The thoughts of the father and son of the monarch and the minister doomed them to be unable to do anything rebellious.

If Fu Guotang suspects that he has something to do with the death of the old emperor, they will definitely kill themselves without saying a word, because if they can do it to the old emperor, it is possible to do it to the little emperor, and kill the emperor and make people usurp the country. Isn't he done playing Fuguotang?

Besides, the old emperor is the husband of the Empress Dowager Xiao. Let her suspect that she is doing such a rebellious thing. You must not shave yourself alive.

Seeing her cold eyes, Zhao Xian hurriedly said in fear: "Niangniang, it is true that Cheng Qing committed suicide in fear of sin. The residue has also been re-examined by the respected doctors, and this matter was fabricated by Cheng Qing alone, and the minister is just enforcing the law impartially, and he also asked the mother to see it. ”

Empress Xiao sighed faintly, and said without raising her head: "So, according to the guards, on the day the first emperor fell ill, you had met with the imperial doctor Feng Lianxue alone, and after that day, the imperial doctor Feng was in a trance as if he had something on his mind, and the person who gave the first emperor the medicine was also her, the next day the first emperor died of a strange illness, and then there was a scene in the prison of the criminal department, a few days ago she personally ran to the Guogong Mansion and stayed overnight before leaving, so on, what do you have to say?" ”

Zhao Xian immediately changed color, only to find that the palace was full of eyes, what he was most worried about was this matter, and he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Please also ask the queen mother to be Mingjian, Weichen just thinks that the Feng Imperial Doctor is beautiful, and only chatted with her on a whim, and definitely didn't do anything rebellious, these are just coincidences, don't believe slander." ”

Empress Xiao frowned, got up and walked to Zhao Xian, looked up at him slightly, and said, "Do you think this palace will believe that this is a coincidence?" Can such a coincidence be in the world? ”

A fragrant wind hit his face, making Zhao Xian quite embarrassed, his eyes didn't dare to look around, and he spread his hand helplessly: "Niangniang believe it or not, Weichen is innocent, I can't help it if it's so coincidental, lie to you as a puppy." ”

Zhao Xian was really speechless, he really didn't do anything to the old emperor, but after asking about the old emperor's condition and saving the Feng family, he couldn't expose these things at all, so it can be said that the yellow mud fell off the crotch of his pants, and it was not but.

"Poof!" Empress Xiao chuckled a few times, laughed very coldly, beautiful and delicate, bright and shining, there were several pearls and gems on the phoenix crown, and the phoenix crown pearl on this smile trembled slightly, but it was very different flavor.

Empress Xiao looked at Zhao Xian for a long time, and saw that he was really a little anxious, she couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart, shook her head and said slowly: "If you are so naïve, this palace believes that it is really a hell, you are so bold, colluding with the imperial doctor to poison the first emperor, such a big rebellious crime, everyone inside and outside the government and the opposition will be punished, and the power of Zhenguo Gong can hardly protect you from a thousand cuts, not only that, but it will also implicate the nine clans, your relatives and friends, relatives, wives and children, and even confidants, will die because of your rebellion..."

Zhao Xian's forehead was violent, his hand shook involuntarily, resisted the urge to move, and said angrily: "Since you know that this will ruin my family, why do you deliberately slander me?" Did I provoke you to get rid of me, or did I want to see me on my knees begging for mercy? ”

Queen Xiao's meaning was naturally not so inferior, she just wanted to use this matter to blackmail Zhao Xian and let him be used by Fuguotang, seeing that the purpose was basically achieved, she raised her slender hand, sorted out the collar on Zhao Xian's chest, and smiled lightly: "Zhao Qing, don't panic, this palace doesn't mean to punish you, but admires you very much." ”

Appreciate me? Zhao Xian's angry expression suddenly froze, and he immediately reacted, this is Fu Guotang trying to win him over.

Huayu said that Master Xie Mo would make a trap, but he didn't expect to come up with this method, and it is undeniable that this is indeed a good strategy.

Although he didn't do anything to the old emperor, there are many witnesses to these things, as long as they threaten themselves with this matter, as long as they are disobedient, they will release the news, and it is estimated that Old Man An will be implicated at that time, let alone him.

However, Zhao Xian has been with Huayu since he was a child, and it is nothing to listen to the words of the old man, anyway, Fuguotang is a group of foolish and loyal readers, and he can't do anything too embarrassing.

Scared Lao Tzu, Zhao Xian was covered with cold sweat on his forehead by Queen Xiao, and said secretly: This old man is really, with such a poisonous method, I almost did it.

Seeing the queen's intimate actions, Zhao Xian was angry and funny in his heart, pretending not to understand and misunderstanding her, and suddenly raised his hand to grab Queen Xiao's hand, and said excitedly: "Queen Mother, your mind is understood, you want to pamper me, right?" How can Zhao make his mother so loved..."

There is a cheap and not to take advantage of nothing, Zhao Xian said, pinching her hand and touching it, the delicate and tender feel is quite good, if it is used to... Bah! How can I think about such a useless thing, what do women do with their hands, but what did the queen mother give me, it's still very exciting to think about... (To be continued......)
