Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

The news that Li Chengqian bombed the East Palace spread throughout the court in the past few days.

There is one more thing, Li Yi'an wants to make another weapon to plead for the prince to make up for his mistakes, and it is also passed on to everyone.

Some people were looking forward to it, while others were waiting to see Li Yi'an's jokes, especially people like Kong Yingda.

Around noon that day, Li Yi'an took those crossbows and first went to find Cheng Yaojin. With his help, he successfully arrived at the East Palace. Now they all gathered in front of the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace.

There are also several archery targets and a table. As for the bow and crossbow, Li Chengqian mysteriously covered it with a red cloth, so he couldn't see what was inside.

In addition to Li Shimin and the others, many ministers from the court also gathered here. Of course, Kong Yingda was also there, looking at Li Yi'an with disdain, wondering what to do later, so that he could slander Li Yi'an in front of many court ministers. It is condemnation.

"Sir, you said that the thing that can help Chengqian redeem his crimes is in it?"

Li Shimin asked first.

"That's right, everyone, please look!"

When Li Yi'an lifted the red cloth, everyone thought that something amazing would appear, but what they saw was terribly disappointed.

They only saw a bow and crossbow, and three wooden boxes of unknown purpose, which seemed to contain some arrows.

The shape of the crossbow is quite special, and none of them have seen it yet.

"That's it?"

Kong Yingda looked down upon it at first. This thing could also be a bow and crossbow. He sneered and said, "Li Yi'an, don't you mean to deceive His Majesty on purpose? Do you know how serious it is to deceive His Majesty?"

Li Yi'an retorted: "Mr. Kong, I didn't offend you, but you seem to have a big opinion on me. The last person who dared to displease me like this was fainted by me. You are so old, you should take care of yourself." Body, don’t fall down suddenly, if you really faint, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get up.”

"you shut up!"

Kong Yingda's beard was blowing up, and he almost fainted from the anger.

"Li Yi'an, this is in front of Chengtian Gate, not the market outside, so you'd better be careful when you speak."

Xiao Yu scolded with some dissatisfaction.

Li Yi'an didn't refute very wisely, but it was very inexplicable, he and Xiao Yu had no enmity, and the other party's eyes were not very friendly.

The original "Feudalism" made Xiao Yu unhappy with him, until now.

"Okay, sir, just tell me how powerful this crossbow is."

Li Shimin also didn't want them to quarrel.

"Which general is willing to come and try?"

Li Yi'an's eyes swept away, and when he fell on Cheng Yaojin, he was the first to stand up: "Let me do it!"

"General Cheng, please!"

Li Yi'an got the arrow clip and threw it to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin tossed for a while, figured out how to use it, faced the target, and buckled the mechanism.

Whoosh!

There was a sharp piercing sound, but he didn't have time to aim. The first arrow didn't land on the target. To everyone's surprise, these crossbow arrows could actually be shot, and they fell 150 steps away, or even more. Far.

It looked like it was a bit powerful, and the other people who were waiting to see Li Yi'an's jokes shut up at the same time.

"interesting!"

Cheng Yaojin looked at it for a while, then continued to buckle the crossbow, and shot out continuous sharp arrows from the crossbow.

As a general, Cheng Yaojin's aim was naturally fine, and all the arrows landed on the target safely.

The most shocking scene happened just like this. The target is also about 150 steps away. Not only can it be hit at such a long distance, but it can also be shot through directly.

Everyone finally noticed that this crossbow does not seem to need to change arrows frequently. It can shoot as many as ten arrows at a time, which is far better than ordinary bows and arrows. It is also so powerful that it is definitely a must-have artifact for marching and fighting.

Even if Kong Yingda wanted to pick a thorn, he couldn't pick anything now.

"Excellent! Your Majesty, this crossbow is really enjoyable, haha!"

Cheng Yaojin was the first to react, replaced the empty arrow clip, stuck it again in a similar manner, and shot all the arrows at the second target, and the same one was shot through.

"This crossbow, good! Great!"

Li Shimin's eyes were fiery, this is another powerful weapon for the country.

"Your Majesty, if I use bows and crossbows on the battlefield, I can shoot all Turkic people and Goguryeo people into hedgehogs."

Cheng Yaojin said proudly: "I can shoot as many enemies as possible."

"Show me too!"

Qin Qiong took it over, and then the generals surrounded him, studying the beauty of bows and crossbows.

"Sir, can the bow and crossbow be brought back to our Ministry of War for imitation?" Li Jing asked expectantly.

Du Ruhui was implicated by his nephew, and has been removed from the position of minister of the Ministry of War, now replaced by Li Jing.

"The crossbow has nothing to do with me, it was made by His Highness. General Li has to ask His Highness if he agrees."

Li Yi'an gave the credit to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and laughed: "General Li, just take it, I specially prepared it for the Ministry of War."

Li Jing quickly said: "I will replace all the soldiers of Datang, thank you Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin didn't know Li Yi'an's little thought, but he didn't expose it.

The prince should also establish his prestige in front of those ministers, and occasionally make some small contributions so that he can take power in the future.

"Mr. Kong, how do you feel now?"

Li Yi'an seemed unwilling to let Kong Yingda go, and asked again: "Your Highness will rule the country by military, is it okay?"

Kong Yingda raised her head proudly, as if she couldn't hear Li Yi'an's words at all.

"Okay, that's all for today!"

Worried that they would quarrel again, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Li Qing, you take the crossbow to the Ministry of Industry first, and your Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry will be responsible for making it together, and promote the whole army just like Mo Dao."

Hearing what he said, Li Yi'an knew that in the near future, there would be a lot of experience to be credited.

"Let's leave the others, sir, come with me."

Li Shimin strode into the Ganlu Palace, and said: "Sir, this crossbow, like the Mo knife, is a powerful weapon for a powerful country. I would like to thank you for offering this thing."

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and this is also my responsibility."

Li Yi'an thought of another matter, and said: "The matter of the former spy should be completely settled. The Wang family please let me take it back with you."

Wang Chengzhi was still locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After several days, there should be some results.

"You will find the auxiliary machine later, he knows how to do it."

Li Shimin said again: "By the way, the wedding between Mr. and Ruge is almost the same, right?"

Li Yi'an said: "There are still a few days, it is indeed almost the same."

"It's inconvenient for me to show up on the wedding day, but I will ask someone to send a big congratulatory gift to my husband."

Li Shimin said solemnly: "When the time comes, sir must not refuse."

I don't know what he wants to give, it seems a bit mysterious, but what the emperor sends should not be simple.

The two chatted politely for a while, then Li Yi'an left Ganlu Palace and went straight to the Ministry of Punishment.
