Great Tang princess

Chapter 183 The Princess' Sledgehammer

In less than a cup of tea, Zhang Chengxin brought over several scrolls of Di Renjie's files.

The couple took one and began to check it. Li Yuechen was bored, so he opened one and looked at it.

Good guy, last year he was promoted to be the prime minister of Dali Temple, and he solved a large backlog of cases in almost a year, involving nearly [-] people, and no one appealed.

Although his position does not require him to be present at the scene to decide the case, but looking at it this way, he feels even more awesome.

A workaholic and a big Tang Juan king... Li Yuechen said that the boss deserves to be the boss.

After flipping through it, Li Zhi smiled lightly: "This is not a Wei Zheng-style character, is it?"

"My concubine thinks it's suitable to stay at Yushitai." Wu Zetian said with a smile.

Seeing that she wanted to dig a hole for herself, Li Zhi smiled and picked up the teacup: "That's true... I basically don't go to the court now. Having this person as the censor can also let Meiniang experience my daily difficulties... ..."

"Eh..." Wu Zetian froze in place suddenly.

Li Yuechen laughed beside him and said, "Aniang, does this count as digging a hole for myself?"

"Go! You damn girl!" Wu Zetian waved his hands and cursed, and then said, "This is concubine Meng Lang, how about..."

"Hey! I think it's good!" Li Zhi smiled and waved his hands, "Let's make it so! Tomorrow, Di Renjie will be born as a censor!"

Wu Zetian next to him had black lines on his face. Although there was a hint of joking in it, it may not mean that there is no potential meaning in it.

Li Yuechen next to him didn't think too deeply, but was a little surprised.

Serving the censor, this position is actually not easy to do, and it is easier to offend people.

Simply put, Shi Yushi is generally not responsible for spraying the emperor, or spraying the emperor is only incidental.The main job is to supervise whether the officials have made mistakes or violated the law.

If a senior official above the third rank breaks the law, he needs to report it to Yushi Zhongcheng first, and then report it to the emperor.

Officials below the third rank can be directly impeached in court without reporting!
In other words, below the prime minister level, as long as you make a mistake, you can be impeached on the spot in the court!
It can be said that this is the most unpopular position in the court, but it is also a position that many people want to curry favor with.

After all, if you don't have a good relationship with Shi Yushi, as long as you have a problem, you can speak ill of you to the emperor, and you should say it in person!

After a long time, the emperor will get annoyed, and maybe he will let you go.

But thinking about the performance in the court today, he dared to talk to the emperor in a strange way, so it is suitable for such a position.

……

As soon as September is over, you can clearly feel that the weather is getting colder day by day.

Li Yuechen came outside the city to inspect the construction of the expressway, and found that there were indeed very few cracks.

The oldest craftsman explained: "In these days, besides using bamboo, I also discovered that if you don't let it dry too fast, you can avoid cracking, so when the sun is strong, you will sprinkle some water... ..."

Listening to the craftsman's explanation, Li Yuechen nodded with great satisfaction: "That's good. I also hope that you will think about it and try more on weekdays. Don't think that these are trivial things. This is a very valuable experience! Only after you and your apprentices have absorbed these experiences can you continue to improve your skills..."

Although the picture of the little girl educating a little old man in front of me seems a little out of character, both the craftsmen around and Fulai who was by his side nodded their heads in agreement.

Li Yuechen took this very seriously, she never believed that there could be geniuses born with knowledge in this world.

All progress is based on absorbing previous experience!

Just like this road, from the beginning of cracking to the present, the quality is getting better and better.

……

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is still two months away, Li Yuechen thought that he would not participate in this year's Grand Court Meeting. The main reason was that it was troublesome first, and the process was too cumbersome.

So the next day I went to Renshou Hall to tell my parents.

"Nonsense, now you are also an official of the court, how can you say that you will not attend if you don't attend?" Wu Zetian taught.

Li Yuechen took her hand softly and softly: "Oh my mother, the child is the princess first, and the official second, right? Naturally, the identity of the princess is the main one!"

Li Zhi, who was lying on the rocking chair, laughed suddenly: "You girl, others wish they could hold more power in their hands, why do they always trouble you first?"

"Grandpa holds a lot of power, isn't he tired?" Li Yuechen asked back, "It's better to say that it is because of this power that he is not in good health."

"Chen'er!" Wu Zetian shouted.

Li Zhi waved his hands indifferently: "No problem, what you said makes sense! But Chen'er, many things are not as simple as you think!"

Nonsense, of course I know!

Anyway, I'm just chatting with my parents now, it doesn't matter even if I joke a little bit.

Any creature can be trained, and so can humans.

Now it's just a little bit of a joke, and after you get used to it, you can go too far... and so on, sooner or later, there will be no taboos.

Not to mention, now Li Zhi is already a daughter slave.

As for my mother, I don't know if it's because of same-sex repulsion, but it seems that I haven't completely fallen, especially when I'm by my father's side.

Li Zhi was holding the health ball, and his tone revealed a trace of regret: "Oh, if you don't want to attend, then don't attend. It's just a pity that I won't be able to see Chen'er dancing."

"Isn't it easy to watch the child dance?" Li Yuechen smiled, "On New Year's Eve, the child will dance with Grandpa."

Hearing his daughter's answer, Li Zhi thought for a while, then nodded: "That's fine!"

While agreeing, there was an unbearable smile on his face.

The request to dance with Dad is too simple, Li Yuechen thought for a while: "Anyway, there will be only our family on New Year's Eve, so why not prepare a show for each of us?"

When Li Zhi heard it, he immediately felt a little interesting, turned his head and looked at his wife.

Although Wu Zetian is the queen of a country, it doesn't matter if she dances in front of her husband and children, so she nodded in agreement.

The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more interesting he found it, so he directly ordered Zhang Chengxin: "Order, everyone needs to prepare a program for this year's New Year's Eve!"

"Here!" Zhang Chengxin promised to send someone to notify the other princes and princesses immediately.

Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows, what is this?Family get-together?
Although it was said that her original intention was that she didn't want to go to the grand meeting on the first day of the new year, she didn't expect to have a family gala in a daze.

Of course, she doesn't mind competing in talent competition, but she doesn't know what the brothers and sisters will perform, so she is looking forward to it after thinking about it.

……

After walking out of Renshou Hall, Li Yuechen and Fulai chatted while walking: "How about a bet? Let's see what kind of show my brother and sister will perform."

"This... I don't want to gamble anymore. I don't know much about your highnesses, so I can't win the bet." Fu Lai shook his head with a smile.

Li Yuechen smiled, thinking about it, so he didn't continue this topic.

However, the older brothers are all good at music, so they should still focus on music.

As for the two elder sisters, Concubine Xiao Shu seemed to have learned a little dance before stepping down.

For aristocratic women in this era, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and female red dance are basically necessary homework, and sister-in-law Pei Qingwan must be fine.

As for talking about myself...

After thinking about it, Li Yuechen didn't go back to Anfu Palace, but went directly to the Shangyi Bureau.

After asking for paper and pens, Li Yuechen explained to the ladies while drawing pictures: "Didn't you make the rabbit ears last time? This time I made cat ears, and a pair of cat paw gloves... The cat paw print in the middle is painted in pink. Silk to make..."

This group of female officials has also gotten used to the weird ideas in Li Yuechen's mind, and they are ready to start production with a promise.

"Don't worry, try to make it as similar as possible, just leave it to me before New Year's Eve." Li Yuechen smiled.

After explaining the matter here, he ran to the Jiaofang Division to ask the musicians to prepare the music.

Since it was decided to dance for the old man, then of course there must be music.

Li Yuechen didn't know how to make music in this era, but it didn't matter, as long as he hummed the tune for them, and let them figure out the rest.

Anyway, as long as she can achieve the effect she wants, she will not participate in the specific process as a layman.

……

During this period of time, in addition to trying her best to build her armor and weapons, the military supervisor is also making the arrows that come standard with her bow.

After all, her arrows had to be specially made. Even if she didn't use them generally, and mainly used them for sniping, she had to prepare at least fifty arrows.

From a certain point of view, these weapons of hers are already considered luxury goods.

Especially the armor, if you really want to say it, it is actually an ordinary Zhajia, which is composed of long strips of metal.

The difference is that firstly, these metal pieces are boiled black, and secondly, these metal pieces are much thicker than the armor of ordinary generals.

The middle is the thickest, and the two sides are slightly thinner. This structure can ensure that the armor plates can be superimposed on each other, and it is like a series of round prisms when worn on the body. Arrows can be shot on it to make it turn, so as to release the arrow. Yagami's strength.

But the armor plate is thick, the existing shoulder swallow is a bit inappropriate, and the shoulder swallow is the animal head on the shoulder.

When watching TV dramas before, Li Yuechen always felt that this thing was separate, but he didn't expect it to be a combination of upper and lower parts.

But obviously, because her nails are much thicker, it would be awkward to put this combination of parts, so Li Yuechen discussed with the craftsmen whether it could be changed into a single part.

This thing itself is just a reinforcement protection for the joints, so a greater center of gravity should be placed on it.

There is also abdominal swallowing, which is indispensable, and can let the belt pass directly through the animal's mouth to form a fixed effect.

Don't look at it as just thickening of the nail plate, but the chain reaction triggered by it is a series.

When Li Yuechen saw that there was no protection under the cape, Li Yuechen couldn't help but want to complain in his heart.

The shawl itself is hung on the shoulders. If you look at it this way, isn't the protection of the upper arms limited to when the hands are hanging down on the sides?

After carefully asking these craftsmen, it seems that there is no such thing as arm guards in this era.

The arm guard Li Yuechen envisioned was a piece of armor on the forearm similar to Anbu's in Naruto.

But when the craftsmen heard her thoughts, they shook their heads with regret.

"The things His Highness thinks of belong to the tribute category. They are just good-looking. In fact, the protection ability is extremely limited..."

"Is it like this?" Li Yuechen asked back, "Then what else is there to protect the arm?"

After thinking for a while, the craftsman replied: "The existing method is to bend the armor piece like this armor, so that it fits the arm..."

"Then let's try!" Li Yuechen raised his chin.

For her own life, she still thinks it is more important.Although the power is much higher than that of ordinary people, they are still human after all, and they will die if they are killed.

For your own safety, you still have to do your best to protect yourself.

Especially in this era, weapons are prone to rust, known as the blade of tetanus, if you really want to get hit, the chance of infection is very high.

Of course, the cost of stacking armor like hers is that the weight will increase a lot, but this is exactly what she doesn't care about.

But then again, although she can wear heavy armor, not everyone has her physical fitness.

So during this process, Li Yuechen would chat with the craftsmen from time to time about how to improve the armor.

At least before firearms are fully developed, armor still plays a very important role.

……

Recently, Li Yuechen basically spent most of his time in the military prison except for class, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period of time, while Li Yuechen's knowledge of weapons and armor of this era increased, her hammer was finally finished.

The main reason is that the structure is too simple. If it weren't for the fact that the hammer handle was a bit laborious, it would have been finished last month.

The two pure black sledgehammers each weighed 23 jin, almost as big as Shangguan Wan'er's head.

The front is not a circle, but a slightly angular octagon, but it is not so obvious, and the plane is still slightly rounded.

There are golden stripes spewing out at the connection between the hammer handle and the handle, which can be regarded as some embellishments for this pure black sledgehammer.

Although the style is simple, anyone who sees it has to pay attention to it.In this era, no one really went to the battlefield with such a heavy hammer.

The length of the hammer is about forty centimeters, and it is completely a weapon for close combat.

Of course, it is also possible to throw it out, but it is not certain whether it can be picked up again.

Li Yuechen stretched out his hand and picked up the pair of hammers that had just been made.

It feels okay to start with, maybe even a little light.After waving it twice, you can hear the sound of "huhu".

The craftsmen standing next to it all opened their eyes wide. They made this hammer themselves, and they can be said to be very familiar with its weight.

Although I have been mentally prepared, watching the princess wielding such a pair of sledgehammers still feels a little unstable.

Li Yuechen didn't care about them, and turned around excitedly to show off to his parents.
