Bai Lichen spoke, "Isn't there a better way for His Royal Highness the Prince, then you say it first, I'm not in a hurry." ”

The prince's face sank, because he had no choice, otherwise how could he let Bai Lichen get his father's question here.

"The third brother should not be in a hurry, this matter is related to the major affairs of the country, and there is no room for sloppiness, and it needs to be carefully considered."

When these words were spoken, it became even more obvious that the prince was reckless and impatient, and the prince couldn't help but be even more disgusted with Bailichen.

Seeing that the emperor was looking at him expectantly, Bai Lichen no longer hung everyone's appetite, and said respectfully:

"Father, the son believes that the most powerful way to break the enemy's confidence is to make the other party powerless in a war, and can only watch the soldiers die one by one, but the enemy does not lose a single soldier, and finally they have nothing to do and surrender one after another."

The prince sneered, "Third brother, you said it lightly, who wouldn't know how to talk about it?" ”

Bai Lichen ignored him.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Shen also stood up and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Third Prince's plan today is not considered. ”

The ministers on the prince's side also began to ridicule and sarcastic.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Three Princes have been in the mansion for a long time, and they are saying such nonsense."

"Who wouldn't say that? Then I will also say that if you don't have to fight, the enemy country on the border will automatically roll back, wouldn't it be better? ”

"The plan of His Royal Highness the Three Princes is so mysterious, I thought it was so powerful......

The minister of the DPRK and China whispered and mocked non-stop.

Even Bailichen's side couldn't help but show disappointment.

These three princes, His Royal Highness, are really too simple-minded.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Bai Lichen with a sneer in his eyes, "This third brother used to cultivate his body in the mansion, and it is not surprising that he has seen such short-sightedness, as you just said, how can national affairs be so simple?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it attracted the approval of a bunch of ministers.

The emperor was also disappointed, "Is this the best of both worlds you said?" ”

Such a plan is not only simple-minded, but also stupid.

The emperor has always been full of hope for Bai Lichen, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing today, and he was disappointed for a while.

But he is also his favorite son, and he can't bear to scold.

He just looked at the ministers and said, "Is there any other Aiqing who provides a strategy?" ”

As soon as such words came out, the ministers, who had been whispering, immediately stopped, quiet as chickens.

The emperor had an internal infarction.

At this time, a military general stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if it's a big deal, fight again, otherwise, it will definitely boost the prestige of the enemy country!" The minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle! ”

The emperor really doesn't want to see war and strife again, but it seems that there is nothing else to choose.

Just as he was about to say "yes", suddenly Bai Lichen spoke.

"What if the retainers have a way to do what they just said and can break the enemy's confidence in one battle?"

He stood there calmly, and the questioning of so many people just now didn't make him move a point.

The posture is upright, the demeanor is calm, standing on the court, and the demeanor is graceful.

The emperor was a little surprised, he hadn't given up on this suggestion yet.

And what he said aroused the emperor's interest, what kind of plan does this Bailichen really have?

Otherwise, with his understanding of this son, he would never boast of Haikou without certainty.

"The First World War shattered the confidence of the enemy?"

Bai Lichen nodded, "Yes." ”

"Tell me, then, what's the solution?"

Bai Lichen said: "The most important thing in war is not only soldiers, but also weapons, Erchen accidentally learned that a new type of weapon is made, once developed, the power will shock the government and the opposition, and a single shot can kill thousands of people." ”

The emperor was even more interested, and his expression was excited, "Thousands of shots? This is a divine soldier! Are you true? ”

Bai Lichen nodded solemnly and replied, "It's true, I met a merchant who traveled from the Western Regions before, and he exchanged the method of making that weapon with me in order to get the method of making silk and porcelain. ”

"Erchen heard that a thousand people were killed at the time, and he didn't believe it, thinking that he was exaggerating, so after getting this thing, he has been hiding in the house, a few days ago I heard that a war broke out in the Western Regions, and the casualties were extremely heavy, Erchen investigated, and found that this casualty was caused by this weapon, plus I heard about the border, Erchen immediately found out the design drawings of the weapon."

Bai Lichen lightly explained the truth of the matter, and the emperor listened to it, and became more and more satisfied, "How long does it take to make this weapon?" ”

Bai Lichen said: "Please forgive the sin, Erchen doesn't know, because after getting it, he never dared to make it, and it is a felony to make and collect weapons privately, and Erchen does not dare to defy the law." ”

The emperor was even more satisfied, and laughed, "It's worthy of Chen'er, I really didn't disappoint me, this weapon will be handed over to you to make, and it must be made enough for war in a short time, and when the time comes, this border matter can be settled!" ”

Bai Lichen knelt down and saluted, "Erchen takes the order." ”

The expression of the prince and his party was already ugly and indescribable.

The emperor also glared coldly at the person who had just mocked Bailichen, as if he was not one of them just now.

"The prince has a reckless temperament, and he has to learn more from Chen'er."

The prince's face was dark, but he could only respond, "The son knows his mistake." ”

Prime Minister Shen was also reprimanded, "A few days ago, Prime Minister Shen's daughter framed the Third Imperial Concubine, which made the Queen Mother angry, I haven't condemned you yet, today, you have done such a stupid thing again, it seems that you can't be punished!" ”

Prime Minister Shen didn't know the good things Shen Shuang'er had done, and his face was still a little puzzled at this time, but he was still very angry with the emperor's reprimand.

"The minister knows his mistake." He could only swallow this breath.

So, in the early days of the dynasty, the ministers who sneered at Bai Lichen were all reprimanded, and Shen Cheng was even punished for connecting with Miss Shen's previous affairs.

It is said that when Prime Minister Shen Cheng went down to the early dynasty, his face was black.

After Bai Lichen got down, he immediately began to contact the workshop to make weapons.

Mu Qing also learned about the affairs of the court, and she was a little surprised.

"A new type of weapon?"

Bai Lichen nodded, "Not bad." ”

"A thousand deaths in one shot?"

Bai Lichen nodded again, "What?" Does the princess believe this? ”

Mu Qing pondered, this dynasty used cold weapons, and there was no hot weapon yet.

This shot killed a thousand people, and only thermal weapons can do it......

She doesn't really know much about these weapons or anything, after all, she's just a girl.

"Can you show me this weapon?" She asked, she was very curious about the weapon that Bai Lichen was talking about.

It was the first time for Bai Lichen to see her care so much about her own affairs, and she was a little happy, but there was still no unwavering explanation on her face:

"This, I'm afraid it won't work now, this weapon is still under development, and the design drawings have naturally been taken to the workshop, and you can see it in a few days."

Mu Qing knew that this matter was important, so he nodded, "Okay." ”

She didn't really want to see it, mainly because it was the first time that something very close to her time had appeared.

And if this thing is really a thermal weapon, then can she be considered to have witnessed the birth of a new era?

The era of thermal weapons is coming......

The heart is inexplicably complicated, it seems to be excited, and it seems to be sentimental.

"You said you got it from the merchants of the Western Regions?" She suddenly noticed something.

Bai Lichen was puzzled, why did this Mu Qing care so much about this matter today, but he still patiently replied:

"yes, what's wrong?"

Mu Qing's heart sank, and the Western Regions ......

"It's nothing, it's just that I've seen a weapon with great power before, killing thousands of people with one shot, I don't know if it's the same kind of thing we are talking about."

She explained, but the description was a little lighter.

After all, in her time, the development of thermal weapons was at its peak, not to mention thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, and even the destruction of the earth could be done, and I was afraid that it would scare him to death if I said it.

Bai Lichen was surprised, Mu Qing had actually seen this kind of thing!

"Where have you seen that?" He couldn't help but ask.

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, a little entangled, how can this be said?

"I don't quite remember, it was a long time ago......" she muttered, trying to fool the past.

However, Bai Lichen was not so easy to fool, his eyes narrowed, and he felt that this matter was not simple.

However, seeing that Mu Qing didn't want to say it, he didn't want to ask it, so he just let go of the topic.

Another few days passed.

Bai Lichen was busy making weapons every day, and when he saw that the weapons had been manufactured, they suddenly got stuck.

Obviously, it is made like a drawing, but the power is hundreds of times smaller.

He carefully compared it many times, and even watched the workers make it step by step little by little, and each process was confirmed by himself, and there were no mistakes, but this weapon was really not powerful enough.

Bai Lichen frowned, could it be that this businessman deceived himself?

But in this way, how can we explain the kind of war that broke out in the Western Regions with heavy casualties?

With current weapons, you can't achieve that effect.

In this way, there is only one possibility, and the merchant over there has deceived himself, and this design drawing is wrong.

Bai Lichen had a headache, this time he was careless.

At that time, I shouldn't have said it so quickly in the court, I should have verified this design drawing first.

It's just that the situation was sudden, and the border incident came too suddenly, and they were not prepared.

Seemingly......

He called Danqing, "Take the drawing back, I'll study it." ”

Danqing also knew that his master had a headache about this matter recently, so he suggested:

"Your Highness, why don't you recapture the merchant and ask him?" Danqing was indignant.

Bai Lichen thought for a while and said: "Guard on the road that must be passed through in the Western Regions, and as soon as you see him, you will arrest him back." ”

Since he is a businessman, he naturally can't come only once.

Danqing took the order.

Mu Qing happened to have something to discuss with Bailichen on this day, so he came to Bailichen's courtyard.

I knocked on the door, but no one answered.

She wondered in her heart, is there no one?

She went in to take a look, and found Bai Lichen sitting, looking at the things in her hand carefully, not knowing what she was thinking.

Mu Qing walked in and said suspiciously: "What are you looking at so fascinated, you haven't heard me knock on the door for a long time." ”

Bai Lichen only found out that someone came in at this time, he pinched his eyebrows, thinking too distractedly, he didn't find anyone coming in.

"Nothing." He said lightly.

Mu Qing also took the bird's nest in her hand, and specially ordered the cook to make it, and used it to bribe Bai Lichen, after all, she had something to ask for.

She approached the desk and was about to put the bird's nest on it.

With a sharp eye, I saw the design drawings on the table.

She exclaimed, "This is gunpowder? ”
