Yukyo Workshop.

The blacksmiths clanged their iron, and the sparks sputtered out little by little.

Worn by Sergeant Zhao

Molten iron flowed out slowly near the ten blast furnaces. Li Gui, as the chief craftsman of the Youjing Workshop, couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw this scene, the three years of hard work were finally not in vain. He finally refined the blast furnace. The ditch under the blast furnace, burning molten iron, is constantly gushing out.

"Master Li!" Li Gui turned his head, but saw the two generals of the Wuwei Army standing there together. Li Gui glanced at the other party and said, "I know what you want, the oil bomb has been loaded, and you can get it right away." ”

The two generals of the Wuwei Army both nodded and said, "The army is about to go out, and there is a master of Lao Li." ”

Li Gui laughed and said, "It's all for King Zhao." Soon the carriages that came out of the master craftsman's workshop in Youjing were continuously transported to the Youjing Wharf. Next to the Youjing wharf, Zhao Guo's newly established camp for the expedition to the Tang Dynasty was packing up and preparing to board the ship.

Among the civil officials, Wen Yanbo and Chen Xiaoyi respectively led Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province to stay in Youjing, while Wang Qi as the marching chief, Lu Chengqing as the marching Sima went out with the army, in addition to Ji Chuan, Xue Wanshu, Zhang Xuansu and others joined the army as marching, as well as Pei Ju, Wei Zheng as a military advisor and also entered with the army.

Li Chongjiu had already boarded his battleship first. This battleship is newly cast, and it is an imitation of the five-tooth ship built by Yang Suzheng Nan Chen. This five-toothed ship is more than 100 feet high. Six racket rods are set up on the left and right, front and back, and are fifty feet high. Each mast is topped with a boulder, and a roller is set underneath it, both during battle and when enemy ships are approaching. You can quickly drop the boulder with a wheel and smash the enemy ship. Only two ships were built in the entire Youjing shipsmith yard. One was used as the flagship of Li Chongjiu's own expedition to the Tang Dynasty, and the other was used by the Liaodong Navy in Youjing.

A gentle breeze is coming. The river surface was wrinkled, and under the sun, the river surface of the Yongji Canal was shining with golden light. The battleship streaked across the river, plowing out white marks. 70,000 Zhao soldiers, sailors, hundreds of capital ships, and more than 1,000 other ships. Yongji Canal looks as far as the eye can see, and the mast is like a forest. The black-pressed hull filled the water. When the Wuya ship sailed across the water, Sergeant Zhao burst into cheers from top to bottom.

This large ship with a length of nearly 20 zhang is like a whale lying on the river of Yongji Canal, compared with Zhao Jun's troop carriers, merchant ships' rebuilt material ships, and small warships are like small fish, lying on the side of the Wuya big ship. Nearby, the Zhao sergeant stood on the bow deck, looking at the Zhao army's flagship that surfaced like a hill, and they all burst into cheers. Left near waved the flag to the flagship and greeted Li Chongjiu, who had boarded the flagship. The tail of the golden banner of the Zhao character. Brushing on Li Chongjiu's face, he saw that Zhao Jun's warships were everywhere, and wherever the Wuya big ship passed, Zhao sergeants and soldiers rushed to the deck to greet the flagship.

Li Chongjiu saw a scene. I can't help but feel ambitious, this is my Da Zhao's soldiers and horses, and my Li Chongjiu relies on the long sword that sweeps the world. Come to think of it. Li Chongjiu drank the order: "Ying Qi." As soon as the words fell, the general on the flagship at the moment. It is also to raise the flag and wave it. But seeing the Zhao fleet where the flag was pointing, they all burst into cheers.

Banzai!

Banzai!

Sergeant Zhao all boarded the bow of the ship excitedly. Long live the mountain. Li Chongjiu's heart was moved, this was the first time he met the soldiers after he ascended the throne, but when he saw that the soldiers were all shouting long live to greet him, he knew that this was the most heartfelt support for him to be the emperor. Li Chongjiu couldn't help but feel full of pride, and he also drew his sword to greet the soldiers on all sides.

Decades after the founding of the Great Zhao Dynasty, Chen Asi, a veteran who witnessed this scene, recalled this day and said to his grandson, when the first emperor, yes, the first emperor stood on the bow of the ship, the golden flag of Zhao Zi floated behind him, and the sun happened to be sprinkled on his body, like a god. At that time, your grandfather knew that he was the real emperor, and he was really different from us ordinary people.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, my sergeant is high!" When Wang Jue received this scene, he was also moved to tears, and excitedly congratulated Li Chongjiu.

"This is a sign of victory, this battle will be won!" At this time, all the ministers also congratulated. Ji Chuan smiled slightly, silent, and said in his heart This is not the credit of my persuasion to be the emperor, alas, let you flatter, I have already retired. Li Chongjiu gradually calmed down from his excitement. At that moment, everyone entered the cabin together, and Li Chongjiu left Lin Dangfeng to speak. Lin Dangfeng said: "His Majesty has won the hearts of the army, and the soldiers are willing to serve His Majesty, which is His Majesty's ability." ”

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "There is no need to say this flattery, I am tired of hearing it these days." I just received the news that your plan against Li Yuan's father and son didn't work. ”

Lin Dangfeng said with a guilty face: "Wechen has been making up for it, this time Empress Xiao gave His Majesty the list, Wechen has already done it according to His Majesty's intentions, and these ministers are working hard to rebel, so that they can be used by His Majesty." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Okay, how diligent you are, but you are not a court official, you have no communication in the court, and you are not a child of a family, you can ask the prince to help you in this matter." ”

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu paused and said: "But the other way around, I have already made other arrangements, and you don't have to be responsible for this matter." Lin Dangfeng knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has betrayed your trust, and please punish him." Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said: "I had expected that Li Yuan would not be so easy to fall for the scheme, this person is a male master, and his eyes are very accessible, and I have already arranged other means." ”

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu's eyes lit up: "New hatred and old grudges, this time I want to settle the account with Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son." ”

Chang'an Qin Palace. The snow in the yard has not melted. Princess Qin's eldest grandson was innocent, standing quietly outside the courtyard alone, looking at a few plum blossoms that were about to wither, and whispered: "The peach blossoms in Shangyuan are bright, and Concubine Lan is in spring." Inoue Xintao steals his complexion, and the tender willow on the eaves is light. Come to see the dancing butterflies in the flowers, and listen to the warblers in the trees. Why should the forest be asked far away, and the outstanding romance is famous. Singing this, the eldest grandson's cheeks flushed, this is the poem he chanted during his spring outing. Among them, Concubine Lan Yan's words of spring love were written when she was a girl. I remember that when my husband Li Shimin heard this poem, Li Shimin's expression was slightly wrinkled, but he said on his face: "This poem is very beautiful." After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wujian felt a pang in his heart, knowing that his husband actually didn't like it in his heart. From then on, she did not chant this poem in the house. But the eldest grandson Wujian is a Xianbei woman, and the Xianbei woman is romantic and amorous, but after being born as the princess of Qin, Li Shimin intends to compete for the throne, so she is reminded everywhere to be like a famous lady, and to show the bearing that she can become the queen of the main palace in the future.

Therefore, the eldest grandson Wujian treats each other with generosity in front of Li Yuan or Li Shimin's other concubines, even if Li Shimin marries several concubines, she will not say a bad word, because jealousy is a loss of morality in the main room.

But now it's spring again, and the eldest grandson Wujian doesn't want to stay in this cage-like Qin Wang's mansion, she desperately wants to go out for a walk. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but caress her eldest son Li Chengqian, who was still in infancy. Cheng Qian, Cheng Qian, when she thought of Li Shimin giving him this name, it was a metaphor. Qiannai gossip, Qiankun, the word Qiankun also refers to the world, his father gave him this name, didn't he hope that in the future, his eldest son, would take over the country from his hands? However, the eldest grandson Wujian didn't think so much, she was very smart and knew that she just needed to do her duty, and as a woman, she was proud of her father, fighting for the world, and the matter of the throne would be handed over to a man. Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wujian looked at the fresh spring breeze outside the wall, and couldn't help but think. She lightly instructed the maid on the side: "The weather is very good today, prepare a car for me, and I want to go to Puguang Temple with Qian'er." "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the King of Qin instructed before, saying that there have been bandits in Chang'an recently, and it is better to be in the Qin Palace, and there is a lot of chaos outside." The eldest grandson Wujian smiled faintly and said, "You can hear the words of His Royal Highness King Qin, but you can't listen to my words?" The maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

The eldest grandson Wujian chuckled: "What a big deal, nervous like this, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is fighting outside, thinking that my father is bleeding and sweating outside, but I am safe at home, how can I go to Puguang Temple to ask for a peace charm for King Qin, and do my best." ”

The maid hurriedly showed a touched look and said: "Princess Qin and King Qin are really in love, and the slave maid will tell the chief manager to prepare." ”

"Well, since Chang'an is in chaos, let's prepare more people, so that we can take care of it."

"Yes, sissy." The maid retreated, and immediately told the chief manager of the mansion to prepare the car, but at this moment, a small servant in the mansion asked casually: "Sister, where is this princess of Qin going?" The maid scolded: "Just talk too much, put your horse well, if the beast is not honest, flirting with his hooves, and startling the princess and the prince, you can watch it." "Oh, hey, sister, this is to torment the villain, it's not that I'm talkative, I'm just asking casually, how far and near, I'm also good to bring herbivory, in case this stops in the middle of the road, the horse has no food, the horse can't move the car, it's not my responsibility." Sister, you can pity the poor villain. "You don't have any interest in this," the maid scolded and said in a low voice, "Remember, I'm going to Puguang Temple in the west of the city, you can see how far and near you can do it." "Okay, thank you, sister, next time I'll bring you rouge gouache." "Rare." After saying that, the maid strode away.

But the little servant went to the stable, took out a piece of paper from the secret compartment under the trough, and hurriedly scratched it with grass and wood ash, and then pressed it into his pocket. Soon after, the letter paper quietly came out of the Qin Wang's mansion and reached the hands of an old man selling boiled food outside the door, and the news came out one by one. At this time, Princess Qin's car was already out of the house. (To be continued......)
