Chapter 171: Testing New Weapons

In the main hall of Taiji Palace, the monarchs and ministers of the palace looked at each other speechlessly. Zhang Zheng, Chen Yu, Qiu Shisan, Li Wucun. Four young men lined up and knelt at the bottom of the main hall.

Li Shimin on the dragon chair had his eyes half-closed, and he kept his arm on the side of his cheek, leaning on the armrest of the dragon chair.

When he saw Chang Ping take Zhang Zheng to the main hall, Li Shimin understood that this winter drought and thunder must be the ghost of Zhang Zheng, a little rabbit cub.

Zhang Gongjin, who was sitting in the third position below Li Shimin's left hand, stared at his own son who was kneeling in the center of the hall with a pale face.

The two people in front of Zhang Gongjin are Li Jing, the first person in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ji, the second person in the military.

Seeing that Zhang Gongjin's face was not very good-looking, he showed interesting eyes and glanced back and forth between Zhang Zheng and Zhang Gongjin, with a look of waiting to see a good show.

and Fang Xuanling, the first civil official of the Tang Dynasty, who sat under Li Shimin's right hand, and the eldest grandson Wuji, the second civil official of the Tang Dynasty.

When he saw that the initiator was Zhang Gongjin's son, he decided at the same time to ignore this idle matter, a picture of his eyes and nose, and his nose closed to the sky.

Only Cheng Biting Jin, who was old and endless, quietly moved behind Zhang Gongjin and picked up the back of Zhang Dasu's neck, who was sitting behind his father.

carried Zhang Dasu to his place on the side, and sat down in Zhang Dasu's seat.

Then he looked at the faces of the other people in the hall with great interest, especially focusing on the few bigwigs on the other side of the civil service.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has no way to teach his son, and I ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins." Zhang Gongjin still couldn't sit still, got up from his seat and came to Zhang Zheng's side to stand still, and bent down towards Li Shimin to plead guilty.

After the guilt was finished, he glared at his son fiercely from the corner of his eye. Yesterday, I still felt in my heart that the naughty son finally began to be sensible, but I didn't expect this son to give himself such a big one today

"Surprise." But with such an unconscious son, what can he do, he can't just leave him to fend for himself.

"Biological, biological, biological." Zhang Gongjin read a few times silently, but he felt bitter in his heart.

Li Shimin saw that his confidant Ai was about to stand up and plead guilty, and opened his slightly squinted eyes. said blandly: "It's okay." And there was no more to follow.

Zhang Gongjin stood in the center of the main hall, and did not open his mouth to plead, but bent down slightly. Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and finally turned his attention to the initiator Zhang Zheng, and asked with some curiosity: "Zhang family boy, how did you make that sound?" In fact, when Li Shimin saw Zhang Zheng, his hanging heart had already been relaxed.

The drought thunder in winter, or the drought thunder on the day of Yuanzheng, is a great bad omen for Datang.

Especially at this juncture, the war has just come to an end, and although Li Shimin has won a complete victory, he has also buried many hidden dangers.

If it is really a winter drought and thunder, it is very likely to become a reason for some people with ulterior motives to attack themselves.

Therefore, Li Shimin's first reaction was to summon Li Chunfeng to come and calculate the good fortune. Now that it is confirmed that it is not a drought thunder, but a movement made by Zhang Zheng as a joke, it is just a false alarm.

Li Shimin suddenly had no intention of blaming in his heart, but he was a little curious in his heart, how Zhang Zheng made such a loud noise.

"Back to Your Majesty, in fact, Weichen is testing a powerful new weapon, and he originally planned to enter the palace to dedicate it to His Majesty after the test was successful, in order to congratulate the Spring Festival. I didn't expect that the accidental movement made a big fuss, disturbing Your Majesty and the courtiers, all of whom are at fault, and please punish Your Majesty! Zhang Zheng didn't blink his eyes when he talked nonsense, obviously he wanted to set off a cannon battle, but he was stunned by what he said was to test a new weapon.

But it depends on who says nonsense, at least Li Shimin believes Zhang Zheng's now. Hearing that Zhang Zheng was testing a new weapon, and he deliberately emphasized that it was very powerful, he couldn't help but sit up straight, and asked curiously: "Then did you succeed in the test?" The courtiers were also attracted by Zhang Zheng's nonsense, and couldn't help but prick up their ears, ready to hear what Zhang Zheng would say.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zheng spread his hands and threw the pot directly to Chang Ping.

"Isn't Weichen in the important stage of the experiment, and he was taken into the palace by General Chang!" Chang Ping, who was outside the main hall, heard Zhang Zheng's words, and couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, with a wry smile on his face.

I know that this master is not easy to mess with, he knelt in front of His Majesty, and he was still thinking about the revenge that he had just grabbed his arm.

I didn't catch it, as for it, as for it, I'll just ask if it's okay? Chang Ping couldn't help but raise his head and ask the sky, is he destined to commit a villain?

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and he thought: "If you don't enter the palace, will you let Chang'an be bombed again?" But with Li Shimin's city government, how could he not see that Zhang Zheng was a little dissatisfied with Chang Ping, and immediately lowered his face and asked: "In this way, it has not succeeded yet?" Zhang Zheng saw Li Shimin's face and suddenly felt bad, and after a little thought, he figured it out, this Chang Ping couldn't move!

So he rolled his eyes, and immediately changed his words: "It's not, Weichen's experiment has been successful." I was going to enter the palace to dedicate it to His Majesty, but I was brought into the palace by General Chang just after I succeeded, hehe......" Seeing that Zhang Zheng immediately changed his words, Li Shimin nodded, and his face turned from cloudy to sunny.

Zhang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, secretly thinking that it was good that Lao Tzu was clever, and he must check where this Changping is sacred when he goes back.

Zhang Gongjin, who was standing next to Zhang Zheng, also heard the meaning of the conversation between His Majesty and his own son.

I secretly have an eye on this often seen flying captain. As soon as he returned home, he planned to send someone to find out what power was behind Chang Ping that could make His Majesty value it so much.

At this time, the two fathers and sons seemed to have a heart in their hearts, and they thought of going together. Of course, the smart people in the hall are not only the Zhang father and son.

Zhang Zheng immediately changed his words under Li Shimin's questioning, which was obviously very unusual. Zhang Zhengxuan's temperament has been heard by all the people in Chang'an, how can he easily change his words, even if the other party is the emperor.

So many people in the hall secretly looked at Li Shimin, and then lowered their heads and thought about it.

"Now that you've succeeded, let's show me something. I was very curious, what new weapons could make Chang'an deafening. Li Shimin took in the performance of the ministers in the hall, but he didn't care in his heart.

He has absolute self-confidence, and even if everyone checks it, it will only increase their awe of imperial power in the end.

It's time for the Hundred Horsemen Division to appear in front of everyone, and the courtiers are full of awe of the imperial power, which may not be a good thing for Li Shimin.
