The rise of the prince

Chapter 407 Emperor's mind

Li Xingzhou went out of the Meridian Gate and went home in the palace carriage.

After returning home, Gillian and Yue'er had already prepared warm clothes, warm chicken soup, and refreshing fruit wine.

Fruit wine, a new product of Wangfu, all kinds of tropical fruits transported from the south by Wangfu's big ship, also greatly increased the production of fruit wine, but because of its low alcohol content, fruit wine cannot be preserved as easily as high-grade wine, and therefore it is difficult to expand its sales area. Kaiyuan Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, Jingxi Road, and Jingbei Road are sold and sold, and the farthest is Ningjiang Mansion.If you go outside, the taste may change.

It was still drizzling outside, Li Xingzhou took a bath, changed his clothes, drank chicken soup, and felt comfortable.

When she came to the table, Gillian was still writing her new book. Her new book was to collect all kinds of weird stories Li Xingzhou told them, and then compile it into a book called "The Story of the Prince's Mansion". Now she has written two volumes, each After the book is finished, it will be read by the people in the small courtyard and the palace to see where there are typos and writing mistakes.

Now everyone in the palace is a fan of her book, and many literate people are copying it.

Although Li Xingzhou himself can tell stories, how can he compile a book with his literary talents. Gillian is the most talented woman in Kyoto, so it goes without saying that she has good diction skills, and there is no problem for her to record and compile.

Li Xingzhou looked at Gillian who was concentrating on writing with great interest: "When is the lady going to print and distribute the book?" Jingguo already has movable type printing, there is also the Royal Bookstore, and there are book printers in the market, publishing a book is not a problem .

Gillian blushed slightly: "We'll wait until after proofreading mistakes."

"Hahaha" Li Xingzhou smiled, sat down next to the little girl, and put his arms around her waist: "Okay, if it comes out, I will be the first to see your husband."

Gillian blushed even more, she nodded and buried her little head in his chest.

"My lord, I will also go to the north this time. I am most familiar with Jiangzhou." Gillian raised her head as if remembering something.

Li Xingzhou shook his head: "No, Jiangzhou is too chaotic now, I don't worry."

"Oh." Gillian didn't refute, she leaned her little head against his chest and stopped talking.

There was silence in the hut for a while, "What's wrong? Are you upset?" Li Xingzhou asked.

"No."

Li Xingzhou shook his head, smiled and pinched her pretty face: "You still said no, you, you have all your emotions written on your face, come and tell your husband what's wrong with you."

Gillian was silent for a while, then bowed her head and said, "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just... I just feel, feel that I'm not very happy."

The more A-Jiao spoke, the lower her voice was: "Yue'er knows how to make perfume, and she taught those skillful maids. Needless to say, Qiu'er, without her, the palace would lose a lot of property. Sister Shiyu is decisive and resolute in her actions. , and proficient in planning, she is the pillar of the palace, but I am a concubine. I can't help the prince."

As Ah Jiao spoke, she actually shed tears.

Li Xingzhou was funny and distressed, but it was normal when he thought about it, the girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, wasn't it the most sentimental and sad years.

He smiled and said: "Little girl just likes to think too much." Then he picked him up and put him on his lap: "It's wrong for you to think that way, Gillian is nobody's property, and she doesn't need to live for anyone. What you like, what you want to do, is what I hope most."

"But... but the prince is the husband of a concubine, and the husband is the wife's guide. The wife should be changed to the husband to share the worries." Gillian became a little cat face.

Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "That's the rule outside."

"The world is the same"

"The palace is different from the world. The world is the world. My palace is the palace. There are no such rules in the palace."

"My lord, this... This is a rebellious word, the whole world," Gillian whispered in fear.

Li Xingzhou supported her by the shoulders, and said seriously: "You are my wife, we are a family, that's why I tell you, in the palace, you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to think about going outside."

As he spoke, he wiped away the tears from the corners of the little girl's eyes: "That is my good wife."

Gillian nodded with a blushing face.

Li Xingzhou sighed in his heart, he could not make everyone more relaxed and free, because of the limitations of the times, but at least he could slowly influence the people around him.

The plan to go north has been made, and the Royal Ship will go north to Jiangzhou in five days.

Four days before departure, the emperor secretly sent Mr. Fu'an, the head of the inner court department, to deliver the other half of the new army's tiger talisman to him.

It meant that the new army was at his disposal. To be honest, the Tiger Talisman might be in the hands of his father, King Xiao, whom he had never met, but Li Xingzhou was still a little moved by the emperor's trust in him.

With a [-]-strong army, the Tiger Talisman was directly handed over to him, which meant that he had two halves of the Tiger Talisman, and he could mobilize new troops at will, because he was originally a member of the Privy Council, and the only thing that could restrain him was the other half of the Tiger Talisman in the hands of the Emperor. The Tiger Talisman was also handed over to him.

If he had bad intentions and suddenly mobilized new troops to attack Kaiyuan, there would only be Wu Desi and Shangzhi's personal guard camp in the city, and there would only be more than 2000 people in total.

Li Xingzhou was so grateful that he almost asked Gillian to write a thank you form and submit it in the middle school.

But two days later, Li Xingzhou was glad that he didn't let Gillian write.

Because of the new mobilization of the Sanya Forbidden Army, the Northwest Camp and the Temporary East Camp of the Forbidden Army outside the city were merged into the Beida Camp, just behind the palace, with a strength of [-].

No wonder the emperor dared to give him the soldier talisman, because there were [-] troops stationed less than ten miles north of the imperial city.
It's really a waste of labor and capital feelings!Li Xingzhou was speechless, fortunately he was touched a little bit, but the emperor turned out to be very dark, he had already dealt with it, the [-] troops were transferred to the northern camp, and the distance to the imperial city was closer than Kaiyuan south gate to the imperial city No wonder he can safely hand over the Tiger Talisman to himself.

After all, even if he is a grandson, the emperor will not be completely at ease.
"Stop!" With Yan Shen waving the flag, the ten gunmen lined up stopped firing and put away their muskets neatly.

"Count the numbers!"

"One number three shots!"

"Number two, four shots!"

"Distribute on three, three!"

"."

"Four rounds on the seventh!"

"Five rounds on the eighth!"

"."

After a circle of reports, five of the top shooters found by each battalion scored four rounds in about 1 minute, and one even hit five rounds!
This is already very fast. Thanks to Zhao Si's improvement, the projectile and gunpowder are integrated, and the reloading time of the quick-fire gun has been reduced by at least half.

Now the average gunner of the Shenji Army can basically shoot three shots in one minute, one shot in about 1 seconds, and the top shooters can shoot four shots in one minute, one shot in 20 seconds.

Li Xingzhou laughed after watching it, and waved his hand happily: "Those who hit five rounds will be rewarded with ten pennies, those who hit four rounds will be rewarded with two pennies each! The rest will be rewarded with two hundred pennies each."

Several soldiers were overjoyed and knelt down happily to thank them.

This time going north, it is naturally impossible for Li Xingzhou to take the entire new army with him. He plans to select two hundred elite musketeers to accompany him, plus two artillery squads and two cannons, just in case of emergency.

The 200 people who were selected were elated, wearing the red and black military uniforms of the new army, and each stood up straight, because they followed the prince and had meat to eat.

With two hundred musketeers, plus the Jingbei Road Xiang Army, Li Xingzhou also had a bottom line in his mind.

Could it be that the biggest thing before going north is the follow-up arrangements for the prince and others. He has already set up the game, and waits for someone to fall in. They think that going north is their opportunity, but for Li Xingzhou, this is not an opportunity. The more he is not in the capital, the more the other party will take it lightly.

Now in the palace, he is not the only one who can deal with this kind of struggle, this is his secret weapon.

The specific operation stage will be completed entirely by poetry.

Shiyu understands human nature, is thoughtful, and has nothing to do with various forces. The most important thing is that because of her humble background, many people will not take her seriously. This is the best situation.

If Prince Yu Chengan and the others can't see who their enemy is, they might not even know how they died
