Youjing Craftsman Workshop.

The blacksmiths hammered iron and tinkled, and sparks sputtered out little by little.

Molten iron flows out slowly near the ten blast furnaces.As the chief craftsman of Youjing Craftsman Workshop, Li Gui couldn't help showing a gratified smile when he saw this scene. These three years of hard work were finally not in vain.He finally made the blast furnace.The ditch under the blast furnace, the burning molten iron, is constantly gushing out.

"Master Li!" Li Gui turned his head, but saw two generals of the military guard standing there together.Li Gui glanced at the other party and said, "I know what you want. The petrol bombs are already loaded, and you can get them right away."

The two generals of the military guards nodded their heads and said, "The army is about to go out, so thank you, Master Li."

Li Gui laughed and said, "It's all for King Zhao's sake." Soon after, the horse-drawn carriages that came out of Youjing Great Craftsmanship were continuously transported to Youjing Wharf.Beside Youjing Wharf, Zhao Guo's newly established Zhengtang Daxing Camp is packing up and preparing to board the ship.

Among the civil servants, Wen Yanbo and Chen Xiaoyi led the Zhongshu Province, and the Shangshu Province stayed in Youjing, while Wang Gui served as the marching commander Shi, and Lu Chengqing set off as the marching commander. In addition, Ji Chuan, Xue Wanshu, Zhang Xuansu and others joined the army as the marching army, and Pei Ju , Wei Zheng also marched with the army as a military adviser to sacrifice wine.

Li Chongjiu had already boarded his battleship first.This battleship was newly cast, and it imitated the five-toothed warship built by Yang Suzheng and Nanchen back then.This five-toothed ship is more than a hundred feet high.There are six paddle poles on the left, right, front, back, and fifty feet high.Each wooden mast is tied with a boulder, and there is a potter's wheel under it. When an enemy ship is approaching during a battle, the boulder can be quickly put down with the potter's wheel to smash the enemy ship.The entire Youjing Shipbuilding Factory has only built two ships, one is Li Chongjiu's flagship for Tang Dynasty, and the other is for the Youjing Liaodong Navy.

The gentle breeze came slowly and wrinkled the river surface. Under the sunshine, the river surface of Yongji Canal shone with golden light.The warship rowed across the river, plowing out white marks one after another.[-] soldiers and sailors of the Zhao army, hundreds of main ships, and more than a thousand small boats.Looking around Yongji Canal, the masts are like forests, and the black hull is crowded with the water.When the five-toothed ship sailed across the water, Zhao Jun's soldiers cheered unanimously.

This nearly [-]-foot-long ship is lying on the river channel of Yongji Canal like a whale. Compared with Zhao Jun's troop carrier, a material ship rebuilt from a merchant ship, and a small warship, it is like a small fish, lying on the river. Beside the five-toothed warship.Nearby soldiers of the Zhao army stood on the bow deck, watching the flagship of the Zhao army rising out of the water like a hill, they all burst into cheers.Zuo Jin waved the flag to the flagship and paid tribute to Li Chongjiu who boarded the flagship.The tail banner of the Zhao Zijin Banner fluttered on Li Chongjiu's face, and everywhere he saw were Zhao Jun's warships. Wherever the five-toothed warship passed, Zhao Jun's soldiers rushed to the deck to salute the flagship.

When Li Chongjiu saw the scene, he couldn't help feeling full of ambition. This is the soldier and horse of my Great Zhao, and the long sword that Li Chongjiu relies on to sweep the world.Thinking of this, Li Chongjiu ordered: "Should the flag." As soon as the words fell, the generals on the current flagship also raised the flag and waved it.But seeing where the flag was pointing to, Zhao Jun's fleet burst into cheers.

Long live!

Long live!

Zhao Jun's soldiers all boarded the bow passionately, shouting long live.Li Chongjiu was moved in his heart. This was the first time he met soldiers after he ascended the throne, but when he saw that the soldiers all greeted him, he knew that this was an expression of the most heartfelt support for him to proclaim himself emperor.Li Chongjiu couldn't help feeling extremely proud, and he also drew his sword to salute the soldiers on all sides.

Decades after the founding of the Great Zhao State, Chen Asi, a veteran who witnessed this scene, recalled this day and said to his grandson, when the late emperor, yes, it was the late emperor standing on the bow, the golden flag of Zhao character was floating in the sky. Behind him, the sun just shone on him, like a god-man.Only then did your grandfather know that that is the real emperor, who is really different from us ordinary people.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, our soldiers are proud!" Wang Gui was moved to tears by this scene, and congratulated Li Chongjiu excitedly.

"This is a sign of victory, this battle must be won!" All the ministers and workers also expressed their congratulations at this time.Ji Chuan smiled slightly at the side, groaning silently, thinking that this is not my credit for persuading His Majesty to become emperor, alas, let you flatter me, I have already retired.Li Chongjiu gradually calmed down from the excitement.At that moment, everyone entered the cabin together, and Li Chongjiu left Lin Dangfeng to speak.Lin Dangfeng said: "Your Majesty has won the hearts of the army, all the soldiers are willing to serve His Majesty, this is His Majesty's ability."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "There is no need to say such flattery. I am tired of hearing it these days. I just received the news that your countermeasures against Li Yuan and his son did not work."

Lin Dangfeng said with guilt on his face: "I have been making up for it. This time, the list given to Your Majesty by Empress Xiao, I have already acted according to His Majesty's wishes. Among them, these ministers are working hard to instigate rebellion so that they can be used by Your Majesty." .”

Li Chongjiu said: "Okay, you are very diligent, but you are not a court official, you have no contacts in the court, and you are not a child of a family. I can ask Wang Xiang to help you with this matter."

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu paused and said: "But it's a countermeasure, I have made other arrangements, and you don't have to be responsible for this matter." Lin Dangfeng knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I have failed your trust. Please punish." Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said: "I expected that Li Yuan would not be so easy to fall for, this person is a hero, his eyes are very eye-catching, and I have already arranged another method."

Having said that, Li Chongjiu's eyes froze: "New and old grudges, this time I want to settle accounts with Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son."

Prince Qin's Mansion in Chang'an.The snow in the yard still hasn't melted.Princess Qin's eldest grandson, Wugou, stood quietly outside the courtyard alone, looking at the plum blossoms that were about to wither, and whispered softly: "The peach blossoms in the Shangyuan are bright, and the concubines of the orchid girls are in love. The new peaches on the wells steal their faces, and the tender willows by the eaves are light-hearted." Come to see the dancing butterflies in the flowers, and listen to the warbler singing in the trees. Why do you need to go far in the forest, and you are famous for being outstanding and romantic." After chanting here, the eldest grandson Wugou's cheeks flushed, this is the poem he chanted during his spring outing.Among them, the words of Langui's concubine's love for spring were written when she was a girl.I remember that when my husband Li Shimin heard this poem, Li Shimin's expression was slightly wrinkled, but he said on his face: "This poem is beautifully recited." After hearing this, Changsun Wugou's heart shivered, knowing that his husband actually did not like it in his heart. happy.Since then, she has not recited this poem in the mansion.But the eldest grandson Wugou was originally a Xianbei woman, and Xianbei women are romantic and affectionate, but after being born as the princess of Qin, Li Shimin intends to fight for the throne, so he always reminds her to be like a noble lady, and she will come up with the queen who can become the queen of the palace in the future. Come on.

Therefore, whether in front of Li Yuan or Li Shimin's other concubines, the eldest grandson Wugou always treated each other with a magnanimous attitude. Jealousy is the immorality of the wife.

But now it's spring again, Changsun Wugou doesn't want to stay in this cage-like Prince Qin's mansion, she desperately wants to go out for a walk.Thinking of this, she couldn't help caressing her eldest son, Li Chengqian, who was still in his infancy.Chengqian, Chengqian, when she thought of Li Shimin giving him this name, she had some kind of metaphor.Qian is the head of the gossip, Qian Kun, and the character Qian also refers to the world. Didn't his father give him this name because he hoped that he, the eldest son, would take over the country from him in the future?But Changsun Wugou didn't think so much, she was very smart and knew that she just had to do her part well, and as a woman, she should be proud of her father and fight for the world, leaving the matter of the throne to a man.Thinking of this, Changsun Wugou couldn't help thinking while looking at the fresh spring breeze outside the wall.She indifferently ordered to the maid beside her: "The weather is very good today. Prepare a car for me. I want to go to Puguang Temple with Gan'er." The palace is better, it’s very chaotic outside." Changsun Wugou smiled lightly and said, "You can hear what His Royal Highness Qin said, but don't you listen to mine?" The maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "I don't dare. "

The eldest grandson Wugou chuckled lightly: "What a big deal. I am so nervous. His Royal Highness the King of Qin is away fighting and wants his father to bleed and sweat outside, but I am safe at home. Now go to the Puguang Temple to ask the King of Qin for a peace talisman. I will do my best." Mind."

The maid quickly showed a moved expression and said: "Princess Qin and King Qin are really in love, this servant girl will tell the manager to prepare."

"Well, since Chang'an is in chaos, we should prepare more people so that we can take care of them."

"Yes, ma'am." The maid stepped back and immediately told the mansion chief to prepare the car, but at this moment a servant in the mansion asked nonchalantly, "Sister, where is Princess Qin going?" You talk too much, just set up your horse, if the beast is dishonest, kicks its hooves, and scares Princess Qin and the prince, you can do it according to your own needs." People, it’s not that I’m talking too much, I’m just asking casually, how far is it, I can also bring grass food, if it stops halfway, the horse has nothing to eat, and it’s not my responsibility if the horse doesn’t move the car Sister, please pity the poor little man." "You are worthless," the maid scolded, and said in a low voice, "Remember, you are going to the Puguang Temple in the west of the city. You can decide how far it is." "Okay Thank you sister, next time I will bring you rouge powder." "Rare." After saying that, the maid strode away.

But the young man went to the stable immediately, took out a piece of paper from the hidden compartment under the trough, scratched it with plant ash a few times, and then put it in his pocket.Not long after, the letter slipped out of Prince Qin's mansion and reached an old man who sold cooking outside the door, and the news spread one after another.At this time, Princess Qin's car had already left the house.
