Chapter 225: Leaving Chang'an with the Family
After His Majesty Li Er was given the task of making bombs, he left the camp in the western suburbs.
It's not because it's busy, either.
If he was really busy, he wouldn't have gone to the suburbs at this time to talk to Lu Heng about things, just send He De over to spread the word.
The main thing is that Lu Heng asked very sincerely just now.
"Your Majesty, do you want to try it and make a bomb with your own hands with your sons?"
His Majesty Li Er fled in the wilderness.
He really can't do anything about this!
The first time he mentioned explosives, Lu Heng said that they could be made directly in the palace, and the palace had a square and a wide place, which was a very suitable place to test the power.
That's it.
Now, Lu Heng actually directly invited Li Shimin, the son of the Tang Dynasty, to build a bomb together.
He is not afraid of some accidents, so that His Majesty Li Er will die in the western suburbs camp?
Even Su Dingfang, who was listening next to him, was scared into a cold sweat.
After Li Shimin left.
Su Dingfang looked at Lu Heng and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
Lu Heng ...... No, the sun rises. ”
He changed his words to show closeness:
"What materials do you need to make that explosive, the old man can help you prepare."
"Isn't that the one you just mentioned?"
"Carbon, sulfur, saltpeter and sugar?"
Lu Heng was a little surprised by the change in his attitude.
Boy.
When he first entered the camp yesterday, Cheng Yanjin specially told Su Dingfang, saying that he should not give himself any special treatment, and it would be good to be treated as a recruit.
How did it completely change now?
Although surprised, he nodded and said:
"Yes, that's it."
"Just get more clay pots, as well as fire oil and hemp rope, that's all there is to it."
"You don't need too much, it's just a sound, mainly because of the current conditions, there is no way to store it for a long time if you do more."
"If it is needed on the battlefield, my suggestion is to bring the raw materials over and assemble them directly on site."
Regarding the specific knowledge in this area, I am afraid that the only person who knows most about it in Datang now is the alchemist.
Su Dingfang didn't understand it at all, so he didn't express any more opinions.
He just nodded and said:
"This old man doesn't understand, just discuss it with Your Majesty after you make it, you don't have to say anything to the old man."
"After all, how this explosive was made is still a secret, and it's not good to say more."
"The old man will send someone to collect the raw materials first, and ...... later"
The words are not finished yet.
Outside the barracks, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again.
Lu Heng and Su Dingfang covered their faces simultaneously.
What day is it......
The people who came never stopped!!
It didn't take long.
The people outside the barracks rode in on horseback, and they were not hindered in any way, and they were obviously also military generals.
The two squinted their eyes.
All surprised.
Someone came, it was actually Li Daozong!
Su Dingfang's surprise was that although Li Daozong was a military general, he was now the secretary of the Criminal Department, and unless he was appointed to fight, he would not come to the camp in the western suburbs in normal times.
One day to send Lu Heng into the camp, this is already an exception.
It's even stranger to come back today.
Lu Heng was surprised that he was not very familiar with this Li Shangshu, at least not so familiar that the other party would come to him for two days in a row.
If the person who came was Cheng Yanjin, Li Jing and others, it would be normal.
Replaced by Li Daozong......
Things are a little weird.
The horses galloped and didn't stop until they were in front of Lu Heng and Su Ding.
Li Daozong turned over and dismounted, panting and looking at Lu Heng.
"Sunrise, Your Majesty has just come to look for you, right?"
Lu Heng and Su Ding looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time.
He wondered:
"Although this matter should not be a secret, but Your Majesty has only been gone for a short time, how did you know about it?"
After Li Daozong eased up, he said with a worried face:
"Because before Your Majesty came to the camp in the western suburbs, he was discussing with the old man!"
It was almost noon.
The sergeants had finished their morning exercises, were resting, and were preparing for lunch, and seeing how lively it was, they gradually gathered around to see what was going on.
Su Dingfang looked left and right and found that there were more and more sergeants surrounding the vicinity.
He frowned and whispered:
"This is not the place to talk, go back to my tent and talk about it."
………………
Inside the main ledger.
Li Daozong took a sip of the water prepared by Su Dingfang and explained his intention.
"Now among His Majesty's daughters, there is no princess of the right age who can kiss, and it is impossible for him to marry his daughter to Songtsen Gampo."
"Tubo is such a remote and bitter cold place, if you marry it, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to Chang'an until you die."
"Therefore, if you really want to be close, you can only choose from the women of the clan."
"And the one who chose was the daughter of the clan, not the real princess, even if she was given the title and became a princess, her original identity must not be too low."
"To be of the right age, to have a high enough status in the mother's family, but also to be knowledgeable and able to endure hardships......"
Speaking of this, Li Daozong took a deep breath:
"Then it's just a little girl."
Now.
After listening to his words, Lu Heng and Su Dingfang were stunned.
No wonder Li Daozong is in a hurry.
If you want to kiss and send it to the place where the bird doesn't in Tubo, it's his own daughter!
There is no doubt about the authenticity of this matter.
After all, he just said that he was discussing with Li Shimin before he came, maybe it was this matter that was discussed.
Even in ancient times when sons were favored, few fathers were willing to marry their daughters far away.
Not to mention marrying to Tibet!
But Lu Heng thought about it for a long time, and he didn't think about why he came to him.
So he asked tentatively:
"Then, Li Shangshu, you came to me ......"
Li Daozong knew Lu Heng's character, and he didn't go around in circles with him, and said bluntly:
"I'm here today because Your Majesty said I'd discuss explosives with you."
"If the explosives are made, we don't have to be taboo in this battle, and we can directly crush them."
"It's about the little girl, and the old man really can't sit still."
"If you find something troublesome, you can tell the old man directly, and the old man will do it!"
He really let it go.
Originally, as a general of the clan, Li Yuantang's nephew, a civil minister and a military general, Li Daozong also shrank his head in the court, for fear that his buffs would be suspected of stacking together.
But now, for the sake of his daughter, he directly stood up to help Lu Heng with his errands.
If Lu Heng can really use explosives to settle the Tubo incident, then he, Li Daozong, will owe the other party a great favor.
Why don't you start paying it back now!
Lu Heng glanced at Su Dingfang, who had fallen into a stupor, and then looked at Li Daozong, who was full of determination.
He sighed and said:
"There's nothing you need help with......"
"However, if you really want to work, then I would like you to help collect the raw materials."
