Chapter 176: Like a thunderbolt in the blue sky
Li Yunxing nodded and approved the plan of the five princes.
When Li Fengke mentioned this carpenter's work, he was very excited, and this breakthrough design may bring a completely different effect.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this catapult is really wonderful, I don't know who this teacher is, and the emperor's brother also wants to learn from the teacher!"
Li Yunxing smiled, he couldn't tell him that it was hundreds of years later, right?
"The little thing that Hongu usually comes up with."
Li Fengke was even more shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have such experience in wood art.
felt that there was a whole gap between him and the crown prince, and he looked at Li Yunxing's eyes with more and more reverence.
It's a good thing that something is made, but it doesn't mean it can be used.
If this catapult is revealed, it is difficult for Li Yunxing to imagine whether it will leak to foreign countries, and when the time comes, he will lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
Li Yunxing glanced at the five princes in front of him who were looking at the drawings repeatedly, and he was very interested in this kind of thing.
Even Li Yunxing looked at him again and again, but he didn't react.
Still Jinxi was more clever, looked at the fifth prince and coughed lightly.
"Ahem...... The Fifth Prince......" he reminded in a whisper.
Li Fengke raised his head from the drawing, with a faint smile on his face.
As a result, when he bumped into Li Yunxing's inquiring eyes, he suddenly felt that he had lost his temper, and immediately reined in.
"This ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed His Royal Highness the Prince, and even this drawing is much better than others. ”
This Li Fengke praised people and stumbled a little.
Li Yunxing was not angry, Li Fengke was different from the powerful ministers in the court, although he was succeeded to the name of the former empress, he should have enjoyed the same food and clothing as him, but Li Fengke was famous for his frugality.
Almost all of the money is used to buy wood and tools, and little attention is paid to anything else.
Especially after Li Yunxing was appointed as the prince, Li Fengke treated him more politely, for fear that others would misunderstand him and say that he wanted to slap himself up.
So in the face of Li Fengke, Li Yunxing was more laissez-faire and ignored.
Such a person wants to be alone in this harem full of thorns, and the best thing is to have little involvement with himself.
Now Li Fengke will actually come to the door, which surprised Li Yunxing.
"Brother Huang, the palace was impulsive, patronizing and pulling you to see the drawings. I haven't asked you yet, what is the so-called matter when I came to this palace today? ”
"I ......" Li Fengke was asked, and began to hesitate.
This made the prince pardon Concubine Wan, how should he speak.
Li Yunxing was not in a hurry, and waved his hand to let Jinxi prepare some tea and food.
Jinxi was also very knowledgeable, and immediately sent someone to do it, and ordered someone to add ice cubes to the house.
To say that this ice cube is a treasure in the palace, and the monthly share of ice per person is limited.
As the prince of the prison country, Li Yunxing has to lead by example, so he rarely uses ice in the palace.
From this point of view, he also attaches great importance to this fifth prince.
"Brother Huang, don't be nervous, you and the palace are also brothers, the queen has always regarded you as her own before, and the royal brother is naturally with you." Li Yunxing's expression was gentle.
Li Fengke nodded, and finally swallowed his saliva, "Thank you, Brother Huang." ”
Li Yunxing drank tea made from a well of water, and suddenly felt a lot refreshed.
"How is your mother?" Li Yunxing asked casually.
Hearing this, Li Fengke was shocked, how did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that he usually went to the harem.
It's a forbidden place in the palace, and the prince won't punish him for this, right?
Seeing through the other party's thoughts, Li Yunxing continued, "Don't be nervous, how can this harem matter be hidden from the eyes of this palace." Visiting my mother is a filial piety, and this palace will not stop it. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Brother ...... The younger brother came this time to ......"
"I want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a gift!"
"What gift?"
"I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ...... in the future The mother can be pardoned. ”
Li Yunxing understood what he meant, smiled lightly, and took another sip of tea.
"Brother Huang, it's not that this palace doesn't want to help you, it's just that this palace is being watched by too many people now, and Concubine Wan is a cold palace that was beaten into by her father. This palace does not yet have the power to take back the emperor's will, if it is known to the ministers in the court, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of gossip! When the time comes, even if this palace has ten lives, it will be difficult to escape punishment. ”
Seeing that Li Yunxing was embarrassed, Li Fengke hurriedly knelt down and said earnestly: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to read a brother and save Concubine Wan!" The younger brother is willing to lead the death for his mother. ”
Li Yunxing didn't pretend to be a gesture and let go of a concubine, but would Concubine Wan really be willing to leave the palace?
She loves power to the point of madness, how can she be willing to leave this glory and wealth?
Although Li Yunxing does not have a deep relationship with her, he also knows the other party's character.
Li Fengke saw the hesitation in the prince's eyes, gritted his teeth and continued to advise: "Please ask His Royal Highness the prince to believe in his brother!" ”
"It's not a matter of disbelief, but whether your mother wants to be free or want to be a concubine, have you ever thought about it?"
Li Yunxing asked rhetorically.
“……”
Li Fengke was silent.
Of course he thought about it, but he knew better that no matter what Concubine Wan did wrong, after all, it was his mother, and he should always do his best to keep her safe, right?
Seeing this, Li Yunxing eased his expression and persuaded: "Brother Huang, this palace can promise you to protect Concubine Wan's life, at least when this palace is there, she will not be threatened." ”
"But." The words changed suddenly, and Li Yunxing's voice carried a hint of fierceness, "What if the palace is not there?" Who will guarantee her and let her live well? ”
Hearing this, Li Fengke lowered his head, his hands were blue, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled slightly.
It is also a matter of course to be rejected, who called him......
But why are you so unwilling?
Looking at Li Fengke who was in pain, Li Yunxing sighed and shook his head, got up and patted Li Fengke on the shoulder, and comforted: "If you want to work hard, this palace can help you." ”
Help? How can I help?
Li Yunxing smiled, he also admired this fifth emperor brother, but this person's personality was really unpleasant.
Well, in that case, let's help him.
"This palace knows that you have always been intoxicated with woodwork, and you don't know much about many court things."
"This palace will not force you to do what you don't want to do, in this case, I will hand over the drawings of this thunderbolt cannon to you, and you will personally polish this first thunderbolt cannon for this palace."
"Thunderbolt?" Li Fengke asked.
"That's right, Hongu just got the name for the new catapult." Li Yunxing smiled, his eyes full of pride.
"One is like a thunderbolt in the blue sky, the second is like a fire tree and silver flowers shining on Kyushu, the third is like the transformation of the wheel of life and death of all things, and the fourth is like a star falling and destroying the world."
"This is the palace's expectation for this thunderbolt, and I believe that the five princes will definitely be able to do it."
