Great Tang princess

Chapter 621 Windsurfing
Geng Yunqiang stood by the table and roughly explained the matter.

In fact, he didn't say it very clearly, but when he was going to the bathroom just now, he happened to meet the subordinate who ran over. Hearing what the other party said, I haven't had time to go to the scene to see it.

It was impossible to hide Qinling's death from the princess, so he came here to report as soon as possible.

After listening to his report, Li Yuechen nodded: "The competition continues, keep quiet, let's go and have a look together."

"Yes!"

Geng Yunqiang agreed, then gave some instructions to the officers next to him, and then left the stadium with Li Yuechen and went to the back mountain scene.

Everyone else stayed here, besides Geng Yunqiang, there were only father and daughter Wang Wuqiong and Wang Xiaojie.

……

Arriving at the scene in Houshan, I saw a corpse lying on the ground from a distance, with his eyes wide open, staring at him unwillingly.

When they got closer, an officer who was already guarding here and the young siblings saluted respectfully: "I have seen Your Highness."

Li Yuechen waved his hand and looked at the corpse on the ground. The blood flew out a foot away. The two people were clean, and the whole process should be very fast.

This also shows that this is not the result of impulse, it must have been premeditated.

"Tell me, why did you kill someone?" Li Yuechen asked casually, expressionless.

"Return to Your Highness, this is the revenge of parents!" Zhou Bingwu replied, his voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm.

Zhou Caiyu on the side saluted and said: "Your Highness, the two of us know that this behavior has violated the military law, but the hatred between our parents is irreconcilable, and the two of us are willing to accept punishment!"

This little girl seemed to have a quiet temperament, but what she said was indeed sonorous and powerful.

Li Yuechen fell silent for a while.

In her heart, she is more inclined to these two children. It is only natural to avenge her parents.This is what most people in this land agree with in their hearts.

What's more, one of the brothers and sisters studied special warfare, and the other studied field rescue. They are not counted as students of Qinling, nor can they be regarded as murderers.

But she is a princess, the highest military officer in the country, and violated the military law. This matter cannot just go away, or in other words, this matter cannot go away with her.

Fortunately, the only good thing is that this matter has not become a big deal, and no one else knows, so there is still some room for manipulation.

She frowned, turned her head to look at Geng Yunqiang and Wang Xiaojie: "What do you think should happen in this matter?"

Geng Yunqiang is the highest officer of the Qingdao Military Region, and Wang Xiaojie is the principal of the military academy. If the princess does not speak, the two of them are indeed qualified to speak at the scene.

The two looked at each other, a little uncertain for a while.

In the army, military law is very important. In theory, no one should destroy the sanctity of military law for any reason.

But in the current situation, looking at His Highness's intentions, he is still a little uncertain, so he asked the two of them.

The two can be considered old acquaintances. They looked at each other and basically knew what each other was thinking.

"Your Highness, my subordinates believe that military law is military law, and this matter should be executed according to the law!" Geng Yunqiang replied.

Although they were mentally prepared, the siblings couldn't help but trembled when they heard the result.

In the army, the murder of a colleague and a comrade in arms is the first crime.

Lun Qinling is also a teacher at the military academy, and he also has military membership. No matter what other people think, he is indeed a comrade in arms.

However, Wang Xiaojie shook his head: "The two of them are avenging their parents, which is justified! Besides, Lun Qinling was not originally from our country, so he shouldn't be punished so severely."

Wang Wuqiong on the side also nodded, and she also agreed with her father's words.

Killing people for selfish desire or benefit is different from parental enmity, which is a common understanding of people in this era.

The answers of the two were different, which made Li Yuechen frowned slightly, and looked at the two with some dissatisfaction, always feeling that the two were playing her on purpose.

But now is not the time to worry about this, she waved her hand: "You two, come with me!"

She took the two of them a little distance to the side, so that no one else could hear the conversation, and then asked, "How are these two doing?"

"Returning to Your Highness, they are all among the best, and will definitely become indispensable talents in the army in the future." Wang Xiaojie replied.

"Fine……"

Li Yuechen nodded slightly: "Lun Qinling is an outsider after all, and I don't want to lose two good seedlings because of him. Now that this matter has not become a big deal, let's press it."

"Yes! It's up to His Highness to order!" The two saluted at the same time.

"As for the cause of Qinling's death, it is said that he died of a sudden illness. As for these two people, each with twenty army sticks, they will be locked up for half a month!" Li Yuechen issued a punishment decision.

The two quickly agreed.

In fact, in normal times, not to mention the twenty army sticks, even the ten army sticks can smash the buttocks and make people unable to get out of bed for a month.

So the key to this order is the latter sentence, close for half a month.

This meant that what Li Yuechen meant was that the twenty army sticks should not be beaten too hard, and he would recover within half a month.

So the [-]-roller beating didn't even hurt the muscles and bones. I was locked up for half a month and then I went out.

Of course, this kind of confinement is not the same as when discussing the Qinling Mausoleum at twenty, in a room with light, facing the wall and thinking about past mistakes.

After talking about the result of the punishment, Zhou Bingwu and his brother saluted together: "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me!"

Li Yuechen nodded: "Both of you are good seedlings, I hope you won't disappoint me in the future!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

The result of this treatment is not bad. Anyway, if there is no big trouble, it is the best way to deal with it in line with psychological expectations.

……

The news of Lun Qinling's death was quite sudden, and it sparked a discussion in the military academy, but all relevant personnel were given a gag order, so even though the discussion was high, it did not cause other problems.

Li Yuechen did not forbid them to discuss, anyway, there will be new gossip in a few days, and the heat of this matter will naturally go down.

In order to be like him, he held a decent funeral for him.

It's just that there was another discussion about whether his name tag should be hung on the street trees on both sides of the gate of the barracks.

In the end, it was Li Yuechen who gave the order. Although he had already joined the army, since he died of illness, he didn't need to be counted as a martyr, and he didn't need to wear his name tag.

When the princess spoke, this matter was finally finalized and completely declared over.

Maybe other people can't help but discuss a few more words, but Li Yuechen can't anymore, because there are other things to be busy now.

In the laboratory of the Academy of Engineering, Li Yuechen was inspecting the universal joints made by the craftsmen, observing them over and over again.

After twisting and twisting back and forth, I feel that the problem should not be serious. Although it was a little later than expected, it was still done.

With this, the sailboard can be made, so I immediately started to draw the design drawing, explaining each part of the sailboard to them while explaining.

The board is easy to say, its structure is similar to that of a surfboard, the key lies in the sail.

Of course, there is already canvas in this era, but the sailboards of the future are transparent and will not affect the vision. This era does not have the high-tech materials of the future, so to open up the horizon, we must find ways from other directions.

Li Yuechen's final plan is also very simple, that is, to make a few small holes in the canvas, and then fix it with iron sheets to prevent it from being torn by the sea breeze.

Although there is no way to guarantee a clear vision, at least it is not like a blind man who cannot see the opposite side at all.

Besides, this is not a sport that everyone can play now, but to be used as a means of communication for the army, so you won't worry about someone bumping into you from the opposite side.

After considering these, Li Yuechen ordered the craftsmen to start making samples immediately, and then try it out by himself to see if it is feasible.

……

During the recent correspondence with Shangguan Wan'er, Li Yuechen also received a lot of news from Dongdu.

To say that the most eye-catching one should be this year's imperial examination.

The news was released on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that women were allowed to participate. In this case, although there was not enough time for preparation, many women still signed up.

However, the final result was not too unexpected. There were 56 women who signed up, but only one passed in the end.

The only woman who passed was Lu Yao, the granddaughter of Lu Yuanfang, Luantai's servant, who passed the Mingjing examination at the age of 16.

Then she became famous in the first battle, and now Lu Yao is still unmarried. After the day of the announcement was confirmed, the people who came to propose marriage the next day almost broke through the threshold, and it became a scene in the Eastern Capital.

In any case, she is the first woman to pass the imperial examination since ancient times. This name is destined to remain in the history books. There is a high probability that she will become the first woman to enter the officialdom through the imperial examination in the future. It can be said that she has attracted countless people in an instant. attention.

However, Lu Yao herself didn't seem to like this kind of chaotic scene very much. After the exam, she stayed at home without going out or seeing guests, waiting for the court's arrangement.

Those who have passed the imperial examinations cannot be officials yet, and they must be arranged to practice in various departments, so they can only be regarded as officials.

Wu Zetian also sent a letter by the way, asking her daughter if she had any thoughts on Lu Yao's arrangement.

In Li Yuechen's view, the fact that women passed the imperial examinations and entered the officialdom marked the progress of society.

After thousands of years, looking back at this period of history, this will be called the progress of civilization, so it is best to handle this matter properly.

Li Yuechen also didn't want this No.1 to be overwhelmed by various pursuits, so he wrote a letter to his mother. It's better to arrange for the household department first, and let Princess Xuancheng lead it for a while and do some training.

If this Lu Yao behaves well and is capable, she will become the country's propaganda ambassador, representing the country's prosperity to a certain extent.

Since she is the first woman to pass the imperial examination to become an official, it is not impossible to give more care. Pioneers should get some rewards that others do not have.

……

The engineering institute was very fast. In just three days, a sample of the windsurfing board was produced and reported to the princess.

Looking at the sailboard in front of him, Li Yuechen grabbed the sail and shook it back and forth a few times. After confirming the swing angle, he nodded slightly: "It looks good, let's try it in the sea!"

There is almost no time when there is no wind all year round on the sea, so you don't need to pick the time deliberately.

Wang Wuqiong said: "Your Highness, the weather is not completely summer yet, and the sea is cold, or..."

"Okay, this thing is made by me, who of you can use it?"

Everyone else was stunned. Don't look at this thing, it seems easy, but those who have never played before rush up, and the final result is to be overturned by the waves, or even fall directly into the sea by themselves.

As soon as they heard that the experiment was going to be done, a group of royal children also ran over one after another, wanting to watch the excitement.

Li Yuechen had no objection, and brought them to the beach, intending to try it in the water.

There were too many outsiders in this experiment, in order not to be gossiped, Li Yuechen did not wear a bikini, but a camouflage uniform.

But even so, when she took off her shoes and rolled up her trousers, revealing half of Bai Shengsheng's calf, many craftsmen standing on the shore quickly bowed their heads.

"Okay, everyone raise their heads!" Li Yuechen waved his hands, "How can you see the results of the experiment with your head down?"

"His Royal Highness has a body of a thousand pieces of gold, how can we..."

Li Yuechen directly interrupted his nonsense: "Knowing that this palace is a rich man, it's best to pray for one success!"

As he said that, he directly pulled the sailboard into the sea, and a group of royal children were discussing whether this thing could be done in groups of three or four.

At the same time, Li Longji and the others are eager to try it, and feel that this thing seems to be quite fun. If I do more in the future, I don’t know if I can go up and try it.

……

Li Yuechen pulled the sailboard into the sea, pulled up the sail when the sea water was below his waist, and at the same time raised his leg and stepped on the board.

The moment the sail was straightened, the canvas suddenly bulged and caught the wind.

Afterwards, the board cut through the waves, took the wind forward, and led Li Yuechen to glide quickly on the sea.

In fact, today's sea breeze is not too strong, and no large-scale waves are formed on the sea surface.

But even so, the speed of this sailboard is definitely not slow. It took Li Yuechen to slide along the coastline quickly, and even white waves could be seen behind it. At least visually, it was more than twice as fast as riding a horse.

Although this scene seemed extremely miraculous to the ancients, everyone on the shore had already gotten used to it. They would be surprised if the object His Highness studied could not be used.

Now this result is in everyone's expectation.

Riding the wind and waves, Li Yuechen adjusted the angle of the sail, letting himself go forward without listening, turn a corner, turn around... While doing various attempts, he also nodded secretly in his heart.

Not bad, at least the effect is in line with my expectations. Today is still a light wind. If there is a strong wind and big waves, this thing is like a surfboard, it can really make people fly on the sea.

It's even cooler in winter, as long as the sea is frozen, and a skate is installed under the board, the speed can steadily exceed [-] kilometers per hour, which is more than a star and a half faster than riding a horse.

The people on the shore saw Li Yuechen gliding on the sea like a sea elf, but there was not much fluctuation in their hearts, after all, that's how a princess should be.

Only Li Longji and others seemed more excited, constantly cheering or whistling, and at the same time discussing when they could go down and have fun...
