Great Tang princess

Chapter 842 Aircraft Assembly
The news that the Supreme Emperor was running out of time was kept secret within the royal family, but Li Xian still told his son Li Chongrun.

Although this matter has little to do with him, he is still the prince, the future emperor, and he must know what he should know about the country's major affairs.

After hearing about the plans of the elders, Li Chongrun said that he would fully cooperate.

Afterwards, it was as if nothing had happened, and continued to do the work of his Minister of the Ministry of War.

He also put forward his own ideas about going to visit his grandmother.

But Li Yuechen asked him to go again after a while, and during this time, Li Xian and the others would definitely pass by every now and then.

It would be suspicious if he followed suit.

Li Xian and the others are different. After all, they are children. They go over to take a look at them every now and then, just like usual, without attracting attention.

Besides Li Yuechen went to Shangyang Palace every few days to have a look, he also went to the Engineering Institute more often.

The main reason is that the plane is about to be made now, and she wants to see the birth of the plane before her mother leaves.

So during this period of time, as long as there is nothing to do, I will run to the engineering institute, trying to get the plane out as soon as possible.

Now the compressor and altimeter and various other parts are almost the same, and the rest is assembly.

The assembly of the aircraft is a very troublesome thing and is expected to take several months.

Li Yuechen just wanted to shorten this time as much as possible, so it passed every day.

……

Two months passed in a blink of an eye.

During these two months, apart from some simple personnel changes in the court, nothing special happened.

Seeing the beginning of spring, farmers all over the country are starting to plant seeds according to the season to welcome the birth of the new year.

The improvement of people's living standards is also on the bright side.

For example, at this moment, the official matchmaker is sitting in a small courtyard of a family, chattering endlessly.

"I came here this time to introduce you to a good family..."

Sitting opposite is a woman about 30 years old, who is also tanned because she works in the fields every day.

But he looks healthy physically and mentally.

After hearing this, she smiled wryly: "I'm a widow, who can take a liking to me..."

"Hey, I'm here! You, just listen to me, I'll find you a good house!" The matchmaker said with a smile.

The woman on the opposite side lowered her head: "Since you came to see me, you should know about my affairs."

The matchmaker nodded to show that she did know.

The widow got married at the age of 14 and did not give birth to a child for ten years.

Then her man got sick and died again, so the people around her said that this woman was the lone star of the gods and destined to die alone.

"Ah, don't pay attention to those rumors!" The matchmaker waved her hand.

"No, I have to explain that to others, I can't harm them!" The woman opposite shook her head.

The matchmaker smiled: "I told you, I'm a veteran, so I'm not afraid of this! Besides, I'm already [-] this year, and I don't want the child anymore. I just want to have a companion to live with..."

Hearing the matchmaker's introduction, the woman was somewhat moved.

Seeing her subtle expression, the experienced matchmaker immediately understood her inner thoughts, and continued: "When I was a soldier, I made meritorious service! Although I have retired now, the Ministry of War is paid every month. Yes! And now I’m still working as that...strategic advisor of the Jinwu Guard. If you marry in the past, life will be much easier!"

Hearing that the other party's conditions are so good, the woman was a little puzzled: "Then... I don't have anything, this..."

Now all she has left is this small house left by her parents, with a small courtyard.On weekdays, I make a living by farming and doing some needlework for others. I really don't think that my conditions are worthy of others.

The matchmaker smiled slightly: "It's just that he was injured on the battlefield, and now he's crippled..."

"Cripple..."

Hearing what the matchmaker said, the woman felt relieved.

But if you think about it carefully, even if you are a cripple, this kind of condition is quite good!

"In this case, it's better to meet each other first, what do you think?" the matchmaker asked.

In fact, before, there were very few things like this kind of meeting and blind date between the two parties.

But now with the gradual change of the social atmosphere, it seems that it is not a big deal.

The woman thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

So a few days later, I met Zhou Daniu, and the two sat down and chatted in the small yard of her house.

After meeting, seeing Zhou Daniu on crutches, the woman was slightly taken aback.

It stands to reason that in this era, middle-aged men who have reached the age of 40 are all very old-fashioned.

However, the man in front of him was wearing a pure black military uniform. Although he was leaning on crutches, it didn't affect his conspicuous spirit at all!

The most important thing is that he has short hair, not even a braid.The beard is not long, just a shallow layer.

Whether it's appearance, temperament or demeanor... they all look much younger than their peers.

At least it is difficult to tell at a glance that this person is 40 years old.

"Come on, this is Mrs. Zhao, this is Zhou Daniu..." The matchmaker introduced from the side.

Then I sat down and started chatting, briefly talking about my life or something.

Mrs. Zhao got straight to the point: "I haven't had children for the past ten years, so I'm afraid there may be some problems. In this regard..."

"Ah, no problem. Both younger brothers in my family have sons, so it doesn't matter if the incense is inherited. I just want to have a companion when I get old..." Zhou Daniu replied with a smile.

Hearing this answer, the matchmaker couldn't help feeling helpless.

Are all those who have retired from the army so speechless?Although the matter is such a matter, the words cannot be so straightforward!
But this is something that can’t be helped. The army is full of old men, so the army is basically straight men of steel.

But overall, the matchmaker still appreciates Zhou Daniu.

Although his personality is a bit straightforward, he is polite and says what he has.

And it is said that he can write and count, so he has some culture in him!
Matched by the official media, the two are satisfied with each other.

So this matter is much simpler, choose an auspicious day, and prepare to get married.

The day was set at the end of March, so Zhou Daniu started to get busy.

After he retired from the army, he was assigned to the Jinwu Guard as a tactical consultant.

The Jinwu Guard is a bit like a combination of special police and armed police, and is mainly responsible for small-scale armed rebellions within the country.

For example, bandits, or hostage-taking vicious cases and so on.

Their main combat locations are street fighting and indoor fighting, and occasionally the bandits will also fight in mountains and jungles.Zhou Daniu, on the other hand, was a true field army veteran with rich experience.

So let him be the tactical consultant of the Jinwu Guard, teach them some tactics in the army, and at the same time make certain improvements to suit the Jinwu Guard's system.

Jin Wuwei is now under the Ministry of Punishment and can be regarded as a national civil servant, so if he wants to get married, he still has to tell his colleagues.

……

On March 23, Li Yuechen Engineering Academy conducted the last inspection with craftsmen before assembling the aircraft parts.

All data such as size and quantity have been checked, and after confirming that there is no problem, the assembly will officially start.

During this time, Empress Wu Zetian's condition worsened a lot.

Can't say anything about the condition either, because she doesn't seem to be feeling bad herself.

However, during this period of time, the physical strength has obviously declined severely, and the sleep time has increased significantly.

At the same time, my body began to gradually lose strength, and I spent most of the day lying on the bed.

The advice given by the medical school is to minimize activities and prevent wind blowing.

So she has basically been out of the palace recently, lying in bed most of the time every day.

Li Yuechen didn't want to be stuck for just half a year. If the prediction from the medical school was inaccurate, it might become his regret.

Looking at the parts piled up in front of him in the laboratory, Li Yuechen took a deep breath: "Okay, let's start assembling!"

"Yes!" The craftsmen agreed in unison, and then began to get busy.

This is a large laboratory with a height of three feet and an area of ​​more than 500 square meters.

The main purpose is to park the aircraft, built as a hangar.

Now the assembly of Datang's first aircraft will also start from here.

Assembly of the aircraft is expected to take nearly a month, and Li Yuechen's plan is to conduct test flights by the end of April.

But Li Chongrun came over the next day.

"Auntie, my master is getting married, I want to congratulate him." Li Chongrun said.

"Go, bring me a congratulatory gift by the way!" Li Yuechen nodded.

As a soldier brought out by himself, Li Yuechen has deep feelings. He is married. Now that he knows, he should congratulate him anyway.

But I don't have to go there, it's enough for the prince to show his face in the past.

Li Chongrun agreed and was about to leave.But after seeing the plane being assembled, he stopped temporarily.

"Auntie, can this thing fly?"

"Then who knows... the specifics will not be known until after the flight test." Li Yuechen smiled slightly.

Although this is what he said, Li Yuechen was supervising the whole process of the plane, so he was quite confident.

"By the way, let's not talk about that for now. Tomorrow you go to Zhou Daniu's wedding, tell him, and go to the medical school after you're done."

"Medical school?" Li Chongrun had some doubts.

"I asked the medical school to give him a series of rehabilitation training plans, and then let him follow the arrangement of the medical school. Otherwise, his legs may become more and more lame." Li Yuechen looked at the plane in front of him and slowed down. Said slowly.

"Rehabilitation training? Can Master's legs return to normal?" Li Chongrun's eyes lit up.

"I don't know, but at least the rehabilitation training can prevent him from deteriorating as much as possible." Li Yuechen replied.

Although she does not know medical skills, she is an athlete and knows the importance of rehabilitation training.

So during this period of time, apart from staring at the plane, I also told them about rehabilitation training during the process of understanding my mother's condition with the medical school.

They also asked them to build a batch of rehabilitation training equipment over there to prevent Zhou Daniu's legs from deteriorating.

As for other than that, if there are other methods such as acupuncture that can relieve him, that would be the best.

After hearing her words, Li Chongrun nodded to express his understanding.

Before leaving, he glanced back at the profile of Li Yuechen, who was standing in front of a pile of aircraft parts and carefully observing.

This aunt's kindness to people often doesn't say it out, but like this, as if doing a trivial thing.

It seems that this is something that should be done, and it is not worth talking about alone.

At this moment, Li Chongrun seemed to understand what she said in class about the so-called charisma of a leader.

……

At dusk the next day, Zhou Daniu's wedding officially began.

The wedding was held at Zhao's house.

The main reason is that her house is larger than the building allocated by Zhou Daniu, so after discussing it, the two decided to live here.

As for the house allocated by Zhou Daniu, it can be left empty first, and when the old man can no longer walk in the future, he can live there. It is more convenient to have running water.

Anyway, there is also the first floor, there is not much difference.

The wedding day was quite lively. Zhou Daniu's younger brother came over, and his two younger brothers also came to congratulate.

Then the colleagues of Jinwuwei basically came over to have a glass of wedding wine and express their congratulations.

Mrs. Wang has no relatives anymore, and she doesn't plan to go back home. It's just a wedding, and it's enough to prove that the matchmaker is marrying.

At first, she thought it was just an ordinary wedding, but she didn't expect that, after going around the street outside in a sedan chair before returning, she was about to pay homage when she heard the sound of horseshoes outside.

The one who was invited to be the elder was Zhou Daniu's father, the head of the village, who had been taken care of since he was a child, and was invited to be a witness.

Originally, both of them were going to pay homage, but they stopped temporarily after hearing the sound of horseshoes outside the house.

Then I heard a sound of orderly footsteps getting closer and closer, and not long after, dozens of court ladies had already walked in in two rows.

Zhou Daniu suddenly raised his eyebrows in doubt. These maids were the same as those he saw in the palace the day they came back, and they were full of all kinds of details unique to the field army.

He moved his crutches, took two steps forward, and when he came to the door, he saw a luxurious carriage outside.

At this moment, the door of the carriage opened, and Li Chongrun, who was in black military uniform, just jumped out.

"Master is getting married today, I, as an apprentice, come to give a congratulatory gift!"

Amidst Zhou Daniu's puzzled expression, Li Chongrun said with a smile: "By the way, my aunt also asked me to bring a congratulatory gift!"

"My subordinate thanks the two Highnesses for your concern..." Zhou Daniu reacted and prepared to salute.

"Okay, okay, I told you that Master doesn't need to salute me!" Li Chongrun stopped him, and then walked into the courtyard.

The people in the yard did not hear the conversation between the two, but they could tell from the clothes that the young man in front of him seemed to belong to the military, and his status should not be low.

The old village head of the previous generation who was sitting in the high hall came over: "Daniu, this nobleman is..."

"Oh, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhou Daniu hurriedly introduced.

What the hell?Prince?
Hearing this answer, everyone in the yard fell into a daze for a while.
