Chapter Seventy-Three: Old Versailles!
"My lord, it is rumored in the outside world that the Five Princes have exterminated a branch of our White Bone Palace."
"Where?" The gray-robed man put down the affairs in his hand and looked up and asked.
"Tianjian Gorge!"
"Dead Warrior Villa, where are our people?"
"It's gone!"
"After the assassination, they have all been evacuated!"
"Huh-"
"These sons of the Dog Emperor, the ability of dogs to eat dogs, they are proficient."
"In the name of our White Bone Palace, we are blatantly fighting among ourselves."
The gray-robed man's tone was full of contempt.
"The quest to harvest the Shades, keep going!"
"Within ten days, two thousand Yin Souls must be harvested."
"When you do it, keep a low profile, don't be discovered by the Dog Emperor's people."
"Yes, my lord!"
……
Imperial Palace.
Dasi Nong Zhou poured the river and faced the saint.
"Tilt Chuan, what do you think of the candidate for the secretary of the young mansion?"
Emperor Xiaoyuan raised his head and looked at Dasi Nong Zhou Tianchuan with inquiring eyes.
After the assassination, the Shaofu Qing and Shaofu Cheng of Shaofu Temple were all vacant, so that the entire Shaofu Temple was leaderless.
The selection of candidates for Shaofuqing and Shaofucheng gave Emperor Xiaoyuan quite a headache.
Shaofu Temple, in charge of ordnance construction, civil engineering, water conservancy projects, and even the imperial mausoleum, were built by Shaofu Temple.
It can be said that the functions of Shaofu Temple are very different from those of the Ministry of Industry in later generations.
Moreover, the Shaofu Temple broke out the scandal of smuggling the god-destroying crossbow and falling into the White Bone Palace, which made Emperor Xiaoyuan even more cautious when he chose Shaofuqing.
Zhou Tianchuan bowed his head slightly and said.
"Shao Fuqing's recommended list is all on the fold."
"Everything is judged by the Holy Judge!"
After that, Emperor Xiaoyuan picked up the fold and looked at it seriously.
After a while, Emperor Xiaoyuan's eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a kind of sadness that could not be dissolved.
"Luo Jiuding, if I remember correctly, his granddaughter married the third child as a concubine."
"Wang Xuan, the uncle of the sixth daughter-in-law, is a fellow villager."
"Feng Shen has a close relationship with the eighth child."
"Hu Jin, a Taile Cheng, is in charge of music, what does he know about ordnance construction?"
Bang Bang Bang –
Emperor Xiaoyuan angrily threw a few books.
These performances were all nominated by the secretary of the young government.
It was his son who wrote the recital, and those who recommended it were all his own henchmen.
Especially the crown prince, he actually recommended Taile Cheng, who couldn't fight with the eight poles of ordnance construction, and he was so angry that he was angry.
"These twists and turns are too selfish!"
"What about the fifth? Why didn't you see his recitals? Who did he recommend? Emperor Xiaoyuan asked Liu Zhong.
Liu Zhong lowered his head and said respectfully with a face.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is probably busy clearing the White Bone Palace, and it hasn't been played yet."
Hearing that Ji Tianci did not play, Emperor Xiaoyuan's ugly face eased slightly.
At least, the fifth child didn't add to his blockage.
"Tilt Chuan, I'd like to hear your opinion." Emperor Xiaoyuan asked.
Zhou Tianchuan pondered, considered the words, and said slowly.
"The old minister thinks that Shaofu Qing is in charge of ordnance construction, as well as various projects, and needs relevant experience, so it is best to promote from within Shaofu Temple."
"If Your Majesty doesn't have a suitable candidate, you can also invite the Mo family master to sit in Shaofu Temple."
Ordnance organs, water conservancy projects, and imperial mausoleum construction.
These are the Mo family's forte.
However, the Mohists' ideas of loving non-aggression and using thrift and burial have really disgusted the royal families and nobles of various countries.
Therefore, the Mo family has always been unpopular among the countries of Shenzhou and has gradually declined.
However, the ordnance organs, palaces and imperial tombs must also be indispensable to craftsmen.
As a last resort, all countries have stolen Mohist techniques and trained their own craftsmen and mechanics.
A celestial master like Wang Xuanfan, although he is also proficient in the Mo family's mechanical arts, is not a disciple of the Mo family.
Therefore, Dasi Nong said two choices.
In fact, there is only one way left for Emperor Xiaoyuan.
"Hmph-"
"Mo family!"
Emperor Xiaoyuan snorted coldly in his nose, quite dissatisfied, and said in a slightly cold voice.
"It's better to choose from within the Shaofu Temple."
"Dumping Chuan, you look at the eight heavenly masters, which one is suitable for the young minister?"
"Everything is judged by the Holy Judge!"
Zhou Tianchuan arched his hand, looking respectful.
Officialdom has been up and down for decades, and he has a clear understanding of Emperor Xiaoyuan's character.
Emperor Xiaoyuan is the kind of emperor who is extremely strong and full of words.
Shaofuqing, one of the nine secretaries, is an important minister in the court.
He framed the list of Shaofu Qing inside the Shaofu Temple, and he had already reached the limit.
If you don't know what to do, if you directly select the candidate for the secretary of the young mansion, you will cross the line and evil Your Majesty.
Sure enough, Emperor Xiaoyuan did not continue to ask, but seriously pondered which of the eight heavenly masters was more suitable to be the secretary of the Shaofu.
At this moment, the music of the Imperial Forest Army came up.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Fifth Highness has returned from the White Bone Palace, this is General Wei's recital."
When Emperor Xiaoyuan heard the news of the White Bone Palace, he put down the selection of the Shaofu Secretary and looked at Wei Yanfeng's performance seriously.
“…… Killed more than 1,000 enemies...... The five highnesses offer an artifact, which can shoot three thousand zhang ...... with one shot."
Emperor Xiaoyuan looked at the Warring States who had destroyed more than 1,000 enemies in front of him, and he didn't care, and his face was light.
But seeing that Ji Tianci had invented a new weapon with a range of three thousand zhang, his face was solemn and serious in an instant.
"The range is three thousand feet!"
"Three times the size of the God Destroyer's Crossbow, really?"
Emperor Xiaoyuan's tone revealed a strong suspicion.
The range of three thousand zhang, this is too exaggerated.
"Tilt Chuan, do you know that among the Mo family, there are machine weapons with a range of 3,000 zhang?" Emperor Xiaoyuan asked.
"The Mo family is famous for its tricks, and as far as the old minister knows, the trap beasts controlled by the great master of the Mo family have a range of thousands of miles."
Emperor Xiaoyuan waved his hand.
"I'm not talking about the machine weapons used by those grandmasters, or even the great grandmasters."
"I mean a machine weapon that can be used by ordinary soldiers."
Zhou Tingchuan was slightly stunned, his face full of surprise.
"The machine weapon that ordinary soldiers can use, isn't the one with the longest range being the God Exterminator Crossbow?"
"Three thousand zhang, how is this possible!"
Emperor Xiaoyuan nodded and said.
"I don't think it's possible!"
"However, Wei Yanfeng said that Tianci has invented a new weapon with a range of 3,000 zhang."
Zhou Tianchuan's face was suspicious, although he did not say it directly.
But the look on his face was one of disbelief.
Liu Zhong said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, is it true or not, let His Highness the Fifth Take out the machine weapon, and give it a try in front of His Majesty."
"That's right."
"Summoning the five princes to my study...... No, go straight to the school grounds. ”
"Tilt Chuan, you also accompany me to the school to have a look."
……
An hour later.
Ji Tianci came to the school and met Emperor Xiaoyuan.
"Meet my father!"
"Flat!"
"I watched Wei Yanfeng's performance, and I heard that the giant cannon given to you by God is not ordinarily powerful." Emperor Xiaoyuan asked.
"My father is too famous!"
"With a range of only 3,000 zhang, it's not worth mentioning!"
Emperor Xiaoyuan, Zhou Tianchuan and Liu Zhong were silent in an instant.
The range of 3,000 zhang is not worth mentioning.
Old Versailles!
