On the beautiful platform, the palace people stood far away, Xue Chongxun and Ashina Zhuo talked for a while, and then there was a moment of silence, he faced the Taiye Pool habitually closed his eyes and thought about the question, and then a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: What do you see when you close your eyes? In Xue Chongxun's memory, the answerer said that he didn't see anything, and then a voice said that this is your life and there is nothing. People need dreams, and even arrogant and lascivious rulers have the dream of "great harmony" and the ambition to rule the world peacefully.

At this moment, not only Ashina Zhuo believed what Xue Chongxun said, but even he himself seemed to believe it.

"The Turkic tribe is also a Turkic people, and someone has dealt with you in Black Sand City, and I want you to write a letter to them to persuade them to surrender. The collusion between the Turkic Shi and the Great Food is of no benefit, and the imperial court is where they belong. Xue Chongxun said the right thing.

Ashinadjo nodded without hesitation and happily agreed, without the slightest willingness to be compelled. She was moved by Xue Chongxun's dictated dream.

…… Xue Chongxun listened to Du Xian's advice on the affairs of the Western Regions, and in fact, this set of strategies came from Zhang Xiaozhen's hands. The Great Eclipse was too far away, Xue Chongxun didn't want to expand uncontrollably at this time, and he had a hunch that he would face other threats, just as he had faced many challenges before.

However, Princess Taiping's side is feasting and singing and dancing in the Lin De Hall of the Chengxiang Palace, about she thinks that the beginning of the dynasty should be the appearance of the world's Chengping, the weather is sunny at the beginning of the first month, she also plans to watch the polo game in the square of the Lin De Palace, let Xue Chongxun also participate, her Xue Chongxun's polo skills are also good.

Xue Chongxun was a lively and active teenager when he was young, he didn't like to read, he only liked sports, his favorite hobby of dancing sticks, playing with guns, riding horses, playing ball, etc., but now he seems to have changed as a person, on the contrary, he is not good at moving but quiet, although polo was originally played well, but he really didn't have much interest. It's just that Princess Taiping specially sent someone to invite, but he agreed to come down when the time came, and when the time came, he just ran away. Naturally, my mind was not on it, and I only thought about other things.

There are so many things to think about if you want to sit on the throne. In addition to reading the recital and the reply, Xue Chongxun felt that he was thinking about things when he ate and slept, and many times he was afraid that he would forget the ideas he had thought of, so he asked Sanniang to follow him at any time and write down the bits and pieces.

For this matter, Bai Qimei once expressed that she was very unhappy, probably she felt that she was Xue Chongxun's "scholar", but her matter was robbed by Sanniang, and she was not allowed to watch it. Xue Chongxun didn't bother to care about her, and still let Sanniang do this, because some of his inspirations and ideas were related to the overall situation, and some of them were just immature in the conception stage and didn't want others to see them. Most of the time, Xue Chongxun didn't think that Sanniang was a living person, like a typewriter, because she rarely said anything, let alone expressed opinions on the content.

Xue Chongxun is not a talented person, but he often has many wild ideas, which are about the influence of memories in his previous life. For example, what he is doing now is "making cannons".

At first, he thought about this for a very simple reason, he thought that there might be military challenges in the future, and if he wanted to maintain his superiority in armaments even more, building guns and cannons was the easiest inspiration to generate, in fact, he had been thinking about this for several years. However, Xue Chongxun was neither an ordnance expert nor an enthusiast in his previous life, and he was even a layman in metallurgical materials.

Yang Simiao's application of gunpowder in the Southwest War and Du Xian's example blew up the gates of the Turkic Black Sand City, which aroused Xue Chongxun's hopes in this regard. After a long period of consideration, he felt that it was difficult to succeed in building a gun in a short time, even if it was a musket, he could not get the barrel technology, and it was difficult to be practical, and in his opinion, it was a wasted work; And the possibility of making artillery will be much greater, and even if it is not very good, it must have a miraculous effect if it is used to bombard the city gate or something, and the city of this era does not have the function of defending against the impact of solid iron bullets.

So he sent the eunuch Yang Siqiao to Wugong County, with the Mingguang Army as the base camp, where he built several workshops and began to study artillery. What they tinkered with at first was nothing more than the same: purifying black powder, casting and polishing the cannon body.

The so-called gunpowder used before was actually prepared based on the experience of Taoist alchemy, and there were a lot of unnecessary impurities, and it was powerful to make a large barrel, but it was very unqualified to use that kind of thing to fill the cannon. Xue Chongxun didn't have much knowledge in this area, but he also remembered "one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal", and directly sent the order to Yang Siqiao for him to experiment. Yang Siqiao regarded this law as a military secret, which made Xue Chongxun very satisfied.

Just when Princess Taiping asked him to prepare to participate in the polo match, Yang Siqiao also sent a secret report, and the gunpowder was quickly made, and the same dose was several times more powerful than before. When Xue Chongxun heard the news, he thought about what polo game was still on, and simply felt that he should go to Wugong County to see it with his own eyes first.

He didn't want to experience the majesty of the Son of Heaven when he left the palace, and he didn't even need the imperial chariot, so he simply ordered the personal soldiers of the Flying Tiger Regiment stationed in Xuanwu Gate, and then hurried out of the city in an old carriage. This car is really a bit old, it was brought back by Xue Chongxun from such a distance in Shanzhou a few years ago, and the pine carriage is very strong, and it is still usable after being used for so long.

Of course, what he liked most was the natural fragrance of pine wood sitting in this car, which was much more comfortable than the gorgeous painted carriage. There is also the smooth texture of the wood itself on the wall of the carriage, which is pleasing to the eye.

Sanniang followed him on the way, and when Xue Chongxun was on the way, he suddenly seemed to remember something, so he took out something from his sleeve and handed it over, Sanniang silently received it in his hand and looked at it, it turned out to be a golden necklace, she wondered: "What is the use of Lang Jun going to martial arts to bring this thing?" ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Give it to you." ”

Sanniang was stunned for a moment, she said in her heart that today is my birthday, is it because of this? She very much hoped that this was the reason, but she felt that it was unlikely, after all, basically no one knew about this matter, and even she didn't care about herself, how did Xue Chongxun know? Besides, how can he remember such a trivial matter when he is busy these days? She said quietly, "Why did you suddenly remember to give me something?" ”

Xue Chongxun smiled: "Isn't it your birthday?" I asked from Bai Qimei last time, is the day right? ”

Sanniang's heart suddenly became hot when she heard this, and she held the necklace in her hand tightly, and for a while she was even in a trance, but at this time she didn't know what to say, so she turned her face away, and still said with an expressionless "oh": "That's right, but this day was set by Yuwenxiao before, and it didn't mean anything." ”

Xue Chongxun then remembered that she didn't know that her parents were orphans, and her heart overflowed with some sympathy, so she stopped talking to her about it and buried her head in reading what Yang Siqiao wrote.

Sanniang's heart was turbulent, but she was very indifferent, so Xue Chongxun also believed that she really felt that she didn't value this, but he still couldn't help but mutter: "Little Niang doesn't want to be cared for, take care of it on special days......"

Obviously, he didn't think wrong, and Sanniang basically didn't get any attention, which was not just trivial. She said with a cold face: "Bai Wuchang really tells you everything. ”

Today's few sentences of conversation seem to be very simple and ordinary, but in fact, they have said a lot, and usually the two of them are often together but rarely say two words. Xue Chongxun heard that she had a rare conversation today, so he continued to joke and said: "I really want to think about it when you say this, she can talk about you in front of me, didn't she say me in front of you?" ”

"Say...... Say what? ”

Xue Chongxun heard that her voice was a little strange, and subconsciously looked up, and found that Sanniang's pale face had a strange light red, such an expression is of course very normal and ordinary if it appears on the faces of other women, but it is rare in Sanniang, she is shy? Xue Chongxun naturally remembered the few "reward games" with Bai Qimei, this female ghost wouldn't really tell Sanniang about such a private matter, right? Xue Chongxun couldn't help but be stunned, wasn't she sexually cold?

He lied: "Didn't Bai Qimei tell you, what did you say?" ”

Unexpectedly, Sanniang was angry at this time: "What does your business have to do with me!" Bai Qimei is beautiful, you just let her be by your side, her skills are no worse than mine, what else do you want me to do! ”

A few words from her came out like beads, Xue Chongxun really hadn't listened to her speak so quickly and so smoothly. She knocked on the car and shouted, "Stop." ”

Xue Chongxun saw that this little lady was really angry, but now that he is the Son of Heaven, who can be angry in front of him? Sanniang was not angry like this, but felt a little strange, and grabbed her wrist casually: "Where are you going?" Her wrists were still cold as snow.

At this time, the voice of the guard came: "What happened, stop quickly." Xue Chongxun opened the curtain and said, "It's okay, continue to hurry, and go to the Mingguang Army camp before dark." ”

"Yes." A voice answered.

Sanniang looked down at Xue Chongxun's tightly grasped hand and said, "What's the use of me, what are you leaving me for?" ”

Xue Chongxun felt a little funny in his heart, of course he didn't dare to laugh on his face, otherwise Sanniang would be more serious, she rarely played such a trick, especially in front of herself. Xue Chongxun is still quite good at pondering women's thoughts, and after a little thought, he prescribes the right medicine: "Who said you are not beautiful?" I haven't been rude to you for so long, I really value you, didn't you say you didn't want to be a joke before? ”

Sanniang said in her heart: As long as you keep me, you can be your plaything.

Xue Chongxun still hasn't figured out Sanniang's heart, maybe there is too little communication. He tentatively put his hand on her face and was ready to see her reaction and act at the opportunity, at this time Sanniang raised her head and looked at Xue Chongxun, her eyes were no longer as cold and ruthless as usual, Xue Chongxun felt a kind of pleading, an inferiority complex, an indescribable feeling, and his heart suddenly felt a slight pain.
