Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 381 Military Parade Style
It has to be said that Gao Ming's level of naming is professional, which immediately confused Li Shimin.

Super Shenwei Invincible Fortress Cannon Enhanced Type I?
In the whole sentence, Li Shimin understood the four words "Shenwei is invincible".

"Fortress Cannon" Li Shimin also had some impressions. He remembered that this seemed to be Gao Ming's name for a female wrestler, but what's the matter with this cannon?

Does fortress gun mean cannon?
But even though I didn't understand it, I always feel that it looks amazing!
Most importantly, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I didn't understand the name my son chose?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin nodded calmly.

"Well, since the prince asked you to supervise the construction of this super, uh... super fortress cannon first, then build this first, and when it is finished, remember to send someone to tell me, and I plan to take a look, well, since there is nothing wrong, I'm going back to the palace!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin got on his horse, turned his horse's head and prepared to leave.

Seeing this scene, Liu Tao, who was still in a daze, immediately reacted, and quickly bowed to Li Shimin.

"Congratulations to the Holy Majesty!"

Hearing the sound of horseshoes going away, Liu Tao raised his head, and all he saw was a cloud of smoke and dust. It was obvious that Li Shimin and others had gone far away.

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"It was too dangerous just now!"

Liu Tao believes that what he faced just now is a catastrophe in his official career.

Gao Ming asked him to build cannons, but Li Shimin asked him to build land mines. No matter which one he chooses, he will definitely offend the other, but he cannot afford to offend these two.

Once you offend one of them, not only will your official career be over, maybe even your life will be in danger.

But Liu Tao never dreamed that Li Shimin would take the initiative to give in and ask him to build cannons according to Gao Ming's requirements, which made Liu Tao feel a little incredible.

"It seems that His Majesty really values ​​His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his chin towards the craftsmen behind him who were still kneeling on the ground.

"Why are you still kneeling? Get up, didn't His Royal Highness ask you to bury the horse? Hurry up, bury it early and go back to the Armory Supervision, His Royal Highness is still waiting for us to build a super powerful and invincible fortress for him Where's the gun!"

"Yes!"

Although they felt that the several hundred catties of horse meat was a bit of a pity, they still did not dare to disobey Gao Ming's words. As soon as Liu Tao's words fell, several craftsmen quickly found a few hoes, and then dug a hole Buried the poor horse.

When the craftsmen were burying the poor horse, Liu Tao did not leave on his own. He nodded when he saw that the poor horse was buried.

"Well, you all go back. After you go back, remember to keep your mouth shut. If you say something you shouldn't say, you will lose your head, you understand?"

"understood!"

Seeing that the craftsmen nodded in agreement, Liu Tao waved to them, indicating that they could leave.

After the craftsmen had left, Liu Tao got on his horse and hurried to his home.

When Liu Tao returned home, it was already getting dark. His wife saw him coming in, and while ordering the servants to prepare dinner, she took the official hat he handed over.

"Mr. Lang is also an important minister of the court. These days, he always leaves early and returns late. He is full of travel and dust. It would be easier to let him out as a governor."

Hearing his wife's words, Liu Tao immediately showed a wry smile.

"What kind of important court official am I? What's more, what if I'm an important court official? Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed in the military prison for a whole day, and even the current Holy Majesty only left at Xushi. Compared with them, I'm nothing. What?"

His Royal Highness?Your Majesty?
Hearing Liu Tao mentioned these two people, his wife's eyes lit up.

"Is Langjun with His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty today? Could it be that the Crown Prince and His Majesty invited Lang Jun to play the right game? Oh, doesn't that mean that Lang Jun is about to be promoted to a noble?"

"Uh……"

Looking at the excited wife, Liu Tao suddenly didn't know what to say, but he thought about it, if he did his best, it might not be impossible to be promoted.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, so he immediately pushed aside the flagon that his wife handed over, his face full of sternness.

"I'm going to Yingmao tomorrow morning, so I won't drink this wine. It won't be too late to drink after finishing what His Highness the Crown Prince told me!"

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing that he was so serious, his wife could only nod in agreement.

Liu Tao was really serious, because not only Gao Ming ordered him to supervise the construction of the cannon seriously, but even Li Shimin personally intervened, so Liu Tao also regarded the cannon as the top priority of his work.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Liu Tao came to the Military Weapons Supervision Department, and began to supervise the craftsmen casting cannons.

Holding the blueprint of the cannon in one hand and a wooden vernier caliper in the other, he gestured on the cannon being cast, making sure that there was no problem before letting the craftsmen continue.

As the chief officer of the Military Weapons Supervision, Liu Tao's serious attitude has also affected other people. Everyone's work attitude and efficiency have suddenly reached a new level, and the casting speed of the cannon has also been greatly improved.

Three days later, the first cannon was finally completed, and Gao Ming hurried over after receiving the news.

Looking at the five-meter-long behemoth in front of him, even Gao Ming, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help being surprised.

"Oh shit, this thing is obviously a temper tantrum!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Tao, who was standing next to him, immediately grinned.

"Hey, His Royal Highness, do you want to take it outside Chang'an City?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course I'm going to try it. Hurry up, hurry up... Pull it out of the city for me, grandma's bear, I've been waiting for a long time, and I want to shoot it myself!"

"Yes, sir, let's do it now!"

Immediately, Liu Tao asked someone to lead four naive horses, and then pulled the cannon and headed out of the city.

When Nu Ma pulled the cannon through Chang'an Avenue, many people went out to watch out of curiosity, and many people followed suit.

Gao Ming and Liu Tao rode at the front, followed by four horses pulling cannons, followed by soldiers holding spears and shields on both sides.

During a cannon test, Gao Ming made it look like a military parade, which is also useless.

Seeing this scene, Liu Tao hurriedly asked Gao Ming for his opinion.

"His Royal Highness, do you want to send someone to disperse the people?"

Gao Ming was enjoying the military parade style, when he heard Liu Tao's words, he immediately waved his hands.

"No, they can just watch it if they like, and don't you see that there are many people from the Western Regions in the city? This opportunity can also demonstrate my Tang Dynasty's military power. When we set off the cannons later, maybe we can Scared them to pee, hehe!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Liu Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed along with Gao Ming.

"Hey Hey Hey……"
