The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered...to promote Guo Nuan as a general supervisor, the fourth rank, and to add the title of Wu Sanguan, General Dingyuan, to the sixth rank...I hereby!"

Such a graceful and moving duck voice sounded again in the courtyard of the princess mansion. Looking at the mighty team of eunuchs proclaiming the decree, Guo Nuan was very happy after receiving the decree respectfully.

"Quack, my brother has become the chief supervisor of the fourth rank! Plus an honorary military officer title, the cheap father-in-law treats me well, not bad..."

Guo Nuan's heart skipped a beat, and she was muttering at the moment, Shengping, Dabiao, Ah Fu, Siyi Guan and others who received the imperial edict together, all of them had congratulatory smiles on their faces, and they were all happy for the son-in-law. As for Guo Nuan, he held the imperial decree in his hands and his eyes sparkled.

"Hehe, Guo Lang, you usually like to think about strange inventions of carpentry and iron utensils, and now the yamen supervisor who is in charge of making weapons and armor for the palace is also in line with your expertise." Shengping hugged the sweetly sleeping little Guo Xiang Zhanyan smiled at him.

"Yes, yes, this is a real job. It's really good to stay away from the intriguing court politics." A Fu nodded in agreement, his head like a chicken pecking rice.

It is said that on the second day after playing polo, the imperial decree of Daizong's appointment was delivered to Shengping Mansion in the early morning of the next day.

As far as the Military Weapons Supervision is concerned, it is a huge organization composed of many royal workshops and bureaucrats specializing in the production and management of military weapons. It is mainly responsible for the equipment of more than 20 soldiers stationed in the imperial guards of the Imperial City, as well as the [-]-mile suburbs of Gyeonggi. The equipment of the barracks in the four directions.

For example, bows and arrows, knives, shields, lances, swords, mysterious armor, rattan armor, iron armor, throwing axes, etc., can be produced by dozens of military workshops managed by the Armed Forces Supervision, including more than [-] kinds of commonly used items widely used in the army. Soldier equipment, plus [-] kinds of less commonly used equipment, that is, unpopular weapons.

Of course, the workshop also produces large-scale special military equipment such as charging chariots, horse-drawn chariots, siege stakes, long-term ladders that can be stretched to 30 meters, and heavy-duty catapults that can throw more than 100 kilograms and have a range of more than 200 meters.

Guo Nuan was excited for a while, and he immediately called Ah Fu and Fatty to drive to the military supervisor's office in the inner court of the palace.

Daizong said this time that in addition to having great trust in Guo Nuan and fully delegating power, the imperial decree also specifically stated that after Guo Nuan was appointed as a supervisor, he could choose a sixth-rank supervisor as his adjutant.Guo Nuan smacked her lips, muttering in her stomach: Brother can freely recommend adjutants?Of course, it is to find someone who is good, trustworthy, and handle things with tacit understanding, and there is no disagreement.

Come on, Guo Nuan quickly appointed an adjutant, and he patted Da Biao on the shoulder and said with a laugh: "Haha, fat man, my buddy is entrusting you with an extremely glorious task. If you do it, you will have a bright future, Mrs. Zhang." One door has taken off."

"Damn it! I listen to Lao Guo." Da Biao heard Guo Nuan's words, and before he asked what the job was, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked like a pig.

Guo Nuan understood very well that his brother Da Biao was born in a farming family, and his family background was so tragic that he was a child. He died a series of grandparents, uncles, mothers and fathers. The official fortune is prosperous again, half a year after being dismissed from office, it can be regarded as a salted fish, and the buddies have to help, so that the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the blessings are shared.

In Guo Nuan's imagination, he seemed to be standing on the top of a mountain soaring into the clouds, and he was shouting with great excitement: "Haha, dear Prime Minister Yuanzai, brother—you have turned over again, just wipe your ass and take care of yourself!" Just wait, one day my brother will rape your chrysanthemum!..."

Regarding the extremely evil bad thoughts in Guo Nuan's heart, at this time, she is wantonly imagining how to defeat Yuan Zai, the treacherous official who has ruined the country and the people, after his official career soars.

In short, Guo Nuan looked like a villain and was smiling foolishly, making the fat man next to him puzzled.

"Old Guo, aren't you so happy that you've gone mad with epilepsy?" The fat man shook Guo Nuan, who was smirking in a daze, and asked anxiously, "What kind of glorious mission are you going to give me?"

"Oh, that's off topic, quack." Guo Nuan woke up immediately, slapped her thigh and shouted, "That's right, let's go to the yamen now."

There are several armor-making workshops in the palace, which are set up next door to the Beiya, the headquarters of the Imperial Army command organization in the north of Miyagi.The rest of the workshops were set up in the Gegefang area of ​​the capital.

Guo Nuan learned that there are more than 800 craftsmen in dozens of workshops providing weapons for the Forbidden Army. This is really a big organization.

The carriage passed through the central axis of Chang'an Avenue, passed the guards at the gate of the palace unimpeded, and then crossed the Danfeng Gate, bypassed three red walls and headed straight for Xuanwu Hall.

"Woo—" The carriage barely stopped in front of a relatively quiet small palace.

This area is located in the northwest corner of the palace, with carved beams and jade columns, marble floor tiles, cornices and corners, palaces with glazed gold tiles, especially pairs of imperial guards patrolling around.

At this moment, Guo Nuan and the others have penetrated into the political heart center of the entire empire.

"Hey, this temple will be under our management in the future?" The fat man smiled and pointed to the main hall in front of him on a platform more than ten meters high. On the main entrance of the main hall hung the three characters "Army Supervision".

The three of them stood under the steps of the main hall and looked up carefully. The red-walled and yellow-tiled main hall with a length of more than forty meters and a depth of more than 30 meters in the inner hall is indeed extremely magnificent.

"Quack, there is probably a big temple that is seven or eight deep. Haha, that's right, brother will be the host, and you, Da Biao, will be the deputy host."

Guo Nuan was in a happy mood. He didn't expect that the Military Weapons Supervision Yamen located in the inner city of the imperial palace would be so grand, just like those magnificent temples on the high slope of Longshouyuan.

You know, most of the monks’ temples in the Tang Dynasty, especially those located in Chang’an, were grand in style, full of incense, and a steady stream of tourists. Then, the money for sesame oil was also rich. In addition, the royal family, especially the emperors of several generations, believed in Buddhism, especially those whose national power was declining. In the era, for the stability of politics and the country and to appease the hearts of the people, the public sought a spiritual sustenance from heavy labor. The rulers vigorously advocated Buddhist culture, and the Buddhist temples built became more beautiful than each other.Now the yamen in front of me is like a small temple, and Guo Nuan, who feels the face of the superior, is naturally overjoyed.

"Hey, welcome from afar, Wang Yan, the military inspector under his command, pays his respects to Mr. Guo!"

When Guo Nuan and the other three were holding back in front of the temple to comment, they saw a group of about ten officials slowly marching out of the palace, and they all kowtowed to see Guo Nuan.

"Okay, there is no need to be too polite." Guo Nuan immediately restrained her smile and waved her hands with a majestic official face.

"Well, you are Wang Yan?"

Guo Nuan took a closer look at Wang Yan who was the leader in front of him. When this guy came out, the three of them almost jumped.

"Grandma, this guy looks like the kind of guy who eats a lot. I used to think that Da Biao's 1.8 meters five and 250 catties weight were huge enough. Compared with this Wang Yan, he was simply one size smaller. This guy is nearly two meters tall, with a terrifying body weighing over three hundred kilograms, especially those small eyes..."

Guo Nuan sighed, I have never seen a human grow so fat, I was lucky enough to see a big boar in the pigsty, and the one in front of me is the other one that is comparable to it...

Guo Nuan carefully looked at the smiling face of Hu Wangyan, the plump fat on his face, and the pair of small eyes inlaid on it, he looked like a very smart person.

"Wang Yan, Wang Yan?"

The little fat man Da Biao saw the big fat man Wang Yan, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Hey, Wang Yan, isn't it the king of Hades in turn, oh my god, this is the big devil who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!"

Da Biao's muttering was just heard by Wang Yan who was standing on the steps, and the faces of him and a pair of officials behind him suddenly turned pale, extremely ugly, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
