Best Evil Emperor

Chapter 392 War (2)
"Princess's body is unwell, and she hasn't come here recently. The son-in-law came to supervise the work a few days ago, and is now in the workshop. Please, Your Highness." Wang Mazi walked in front and took me and the Yaohuang into the workshop of the craftsman. Now the Yaohuang is my right and left hand. , so he is eligible to enter in any occasion.

Someone had already entered to announce that when I stepped into the gate, everyone was already kneeling on the ground to welcome me.Looking at the familiar faces and fiery eyes, I feel warm in my heart. These are all my subordinates who have followed me for several months. They are the most trustworthy scientists in the capital. I smiled slightly. Let everyone get up, and I asked the crowd around me about the situation in recent days.

It seems that my uncle and Marr have made a good arrangement. Everyone is now settled down around the workshop. Half a month ago, they received an order from the royal family to prepare for the battle with all their strength. Several generals have reported to the Ministry of War and are not here for the time being. The rest of the civil servants and craftsmen are here. Helped in the workshop, rushed to build artillery, [-] guns have been built in half a month, ready to be sent to the front line of Longyou, but the process of making gunpowder is complicated, and mass production is not easy.

"Your Highness Wuwu, you're finally back." Hearing this trembling voice, I quickly turned around, and it was Liu Yuxi who had arrived.

I haven't seen him for more than two months, Liu Yuxi is a little fatter, and has a bit of royal temperament. When I look at my proud subordinates, I can't help feeling a little moved in my heart.

He walked up to me, looked at me carefully for a while, and was about to kneel, I quickly helped him up, and said: "What's the matter, you can't kneel to me in the future, you have to be fair, you are my friend and subordinate now, By the way, I brought you famous poems from all over the world on the way back to Beijing, and when I meet my father and queen, let’s get together and not get drunk.” After sending it off, I took out the one I bought in Suzhou give him some calligraphy and painting

"Your Highness hasn't returned to the palace yet?" Liu Yuxi received the calligraphy and painting, was taken aback for a moment, and then continued: "Didn't the Emperor send someone with a gold medal to call you into the palace urgently?"

"What gold medal? I didn't see it. I probably missed it with the envoy when I returned to the capital early. I just arrived in the capital and wanted to cleanse myself before going to the palace to meet my father." I thought to myself that the military situation was urgent this time. Even the gold medal was used.

"Alright, last time because of the gunpowder incident, the empress was very dissatisfied with you. Fortunately, the princess tried her best to speak for you and suppressed the matter. Recently, the military situation is urgent, so the emperor hastily summoned his highness to return to Beijing to preside over the artillery production. I will accompany you It might be better for you to go together." Now Liu Yuxi is mainly helping me manage personnel affairs in the palace, so it is easy for him to enter the palace, and now most of the first-rank officials are his subordinates, and of course they are also my subordinates.

"Then it's settled." I thought about it and nodded.

I hurriedly took a shower, changed into new clothes, and said goodbye to everyone. Liu Yuxi and I entered the palace together under the protection of the imperial army.

Along the way, when we talked about the whereabouts of my uncle, Liu Yuxi also had no clue, but he said that there were guards protecting him, so it would not be a big deal. Princess Qingfeng found out that she was pregnant three days ago, so she started to move around less recently. Mal and his substitute.

Then we talked about the business of the car dealership. I mentioned what I had seen and heard in Dongdu, and asked about the situation of the other two car dealers by the way.Liu Yuxi smiled when he heard it, and said to me in a low voice: "Actually, the Ningchi car dealership is also our property! Uncle Guo said, we can't let Lin's car dealership be the only one, and we can do anything else. Competition improves the so-called service quality, so I secretly set up a car dealership.”

"Hehe, it's not a cage break, it's a monopoly." I laughed and corrected him, and then I asked, "So that's it, then who runs that Sun Kee car dealership?"

"Sun Ji's car dealership, I have also heard about this. I ordered someone to inquire about it, but they couldn't find anything. It seems to be related to a certain Highness." Liu Yuxi replied after thinking about it
"Oh, it's a matter of time, let him go." As soon as I heard a thought in my heart, there was only one of the two princes I suspected at the beginning. It seems that this Sunji car dealership is very likely to be owned by the eldest prince. .

After entering the imperial city, I asked that my father was having a meeting in the imperial study, so I went straight with Liu Yuxi.

The imperial study room is next to the imperial garden. At this time, the door is closed tightly, and the room is brightly lit. There is a row of guards with knives standing at the door, blocking the door densely. There are also two little eunuchs, their faces are covered with Burnout, seems to have been standing for a long time.

Seeing me and Liu Yuxi coming, the little eunuch rushed up to greet us and greeted us, I waved and stopped.

At this time, Liu Yuxi instructed the two of them: "You go in and pass the news, and just say that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince and I have asked to see you."

As soon as the two eunuchs heard this, they quickly went in, and after a while, they came out again, and said loudly: "The emperor has ordered, the fifth prince Xuan and Liu Yuxi will come to see you."

The row of guards was immediately divided into left and right rows, and the leader bowed to me with fists cupped, and said: "The humble emperor lives in me, so I can't kneel down to greet Your Highness."

"You don't need to be too polite," I couldn't help but looked at the strong man's eyes, seeing his bright eyes, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and I liked him very much. I smiled at him and said, "The general is loyal to his duty, admirable, and he has the opportunity You must get close to the general." I said this intentionally or unintentionally, although [-]% of the power in the palace belongs to me, but a considerable part belongs to the old woman, and now I can win one and count as one.

Then we didn't say much, and Liu Yuxi and I stepped into the imperial study together.

The space in the imperial study room is very spacious. There are already 30 to [-] people sitting on the floor, but they still don’t feel crowded. It seems that all ministers and most of the generals have arrived. Meetings are very important.

I stepped forward and looked at the royal father who was sitting at the top with a lot of gorgeous hair. I felt a surge of excitement. I bent down and bowed down, begging for peace and saying: "Father, my son is back, may my father live long and live forever!" .” In front of everyone, he wanted to say polite words again.

The emperor was very happy when he saw that I was back, so he stepped down from his seat, helped me up, took my hand, and looked at me: "Your Majesty, it's good to be back, your mother often complains to me, saying that I shouldn't have let you go to other countries at such a young age, and I always blame myself." In fact, we all know what my father asked me to do in the southern country, and I said this sentence for other people. I don't know how powerful I am among the courtiers, that's why I said this.

"I don't dare. It's because I made my father worry. It's what I should do if I can relieve my father's worries." The play is going to the end, so I will continue to be polite.

"The emperor has grown up. Come and sit beside the emperor. I will accompany you to see your mother and concubine later. She will be happy. Liu Qing's family, you should go back first." After finishing speaking, he waved to Liu Yuxi.

"The minister will leave first." Liu Yuxi gave me a look and then retreated.

I sat down next to my father, and all the ministers greeted me one after another, and after a burst of praise, I slowly returned to the topic.

"Your Majesty, I think you know something about the current situation." The Royal Father seems to want me to participate in the discussion. It's all on me.

"My son has heard about it, but I don't know much about it. I only know that the Turks are attacking, Tuyuhun's heavy troops are suppressing the country, several emperor brothers have gone to Longyou, and Jiannan two ways to fight against the enemy. General Xue went deep into Korea and was eager to return. Father I have ordered people to strengthen the city defenses and mobilize the surrounding troops to defend the capital." These words can only be said directly.

"That's roughly the case. Apart from that, Jiannan Road is not stable." Father Huang was a little worried. Over the years, I have rarely seen him with such an expression: "And riots broke out in several states."

I was shocked when I heard this, there are riots in this peaceful and prosperous world?Why didn't I know about it when I was in Suzhou?Is war coming?I hope that I won't miss the important event of my leaving the palace.

At this time, someone below said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, His Highness the Second Prince has brought the riots under control in several states, but His Highness is merciful and did not execute those civilians."

Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of War hurriedly said: "General Ding's words are wrong. How can we massacre the people during the war? The Jiannan army is all local children. If a large number of mobs are executed, I'm afraid it will hurt the morale of the army."

The father sighed: "At the beginning, I ordered a large number of ships to be built in Sichuan, and I wanted to attack Goryeo's water and land. The labor was a bit heavier. I didn't expect that Goryeo had not yet been captured, but it would attract Turks and Tuyuhun. The loss outweighs the gain. Go to those prefectures for a year of corvee, Xu Qing's family, send someone to tell the second emperor that the riots should be dealt with lightly, and the accomplices should not be prosecuted, and the most important thing is to resist foreign enemies."

"Respect." The two ministers wrote down on the paper respectively.

I looked at the rice paper in front of the gates of the generals and monks from a distance, and I have already written down many provisions.It seems that the one-night meeting was quite fruitful.

"Five emperors, I heard that you made magical weapons and artillery in the southern country. Why have you never heard of it before?" My headache finally came. My father and these subjects knew it was all right, and I was most afraid of the old woman coming to ask.

Fortunately, I have already made some preparations, and now I don't know how to answer.

"Father, it's not because I don't want to tell father about the artillery, it's because the time has not come." I thought about it and replied.

After finishing speaking, I continued: "When Erchen was young, he found some broken books in the library of the Imperial City, with strange characters written on them. Erchen asked Teacher Kong Yu, and he said he didn't know him. I found it interesting, so I copied it from the book. Later, a god who called himself Gongshu pointed out to me in a dream, and I started to make it according to the book. This cannon was one of them, but the god told me at the time that it was cumbersome to make. Inadvertent operation will endanger human life, so I dare to dedicate it to my father after many trials." Fudge is my specialty, but my father also understands my nonsense, I am guarding against old women in such things, he naturally I know, so he also replied according to my intention: "It turns out that there are gods to protect, and the emperor considers it for me. What is the crime? Recently, the military situation is urgent, and everyone recommends artillery. I have requisitioned the emperor's workshop to make it. Liu Yuxi Tell me that the production of gunpowder is slow, you have to try to solve it, my son, if you win this battle, your son will be the first to remember."

After I listened, I could only answer: "Respect."

At this time, the ministers were discussing a lot. I know that only half of the subjects here are my people and half are old women. But fortunately, it seems that it is the first time for them to hear that Gongshu Pan, the carpenter ancestor, is also a god.

The old man turned to all the ministers: "You must have heard about the power of the artillery. This time when we are retreating from the enemy, the enemy is outnumbered and we are few, so we must rely on this magical weapon. Workers protect the country and become immortals, and lead the craftsmen of the world."

When I heard that my father was going to build a temple, I thought to myself that I could take this opportunity to improve the status of the craftsmen, which would be good for my subordinates, so I hurriedly said: "Father, there was once a craftsman under my son who dedicated himself heroically to making gunpowder for the magic weapon." , I also ask my father to pursue him as a disciple of the Shangxian, so as to receive the hearts of the world's craftsmen."

"That's right, let's play! Minister of the Ministry of Rites, this matter will also be entrusted to you. Select another nine outstanding craftsmen in the world, and they will be named disciples of the same class. I will choose a day and I will seal them myself." I am very concerned. It is a good thing to have a new weapon.

When I arrived, the meeting had been in session for nearly two hours. At this moment, we discussed the specific military deployment for a while. After I listened casually, the meeting ended. After the end, my father asked everyone to disperse, and each carried out today's meeting decision.

Then he ordered someone to bring some snacks, but my father didn't accompany me to see my mother and concubine right away, but waved away all the people and still asked people to guard the door, not letting anyone in. It seems that he wants to chat with me privately.

Father Huang picked up a piece of pastry, handed it to me, and said slowly: "Yu'er, there are only you and my father and son now, so tell the truth."

I blinked my eyes when I heard this, and didn't speak, and then my father said again: "Just now I asked you about the artillery, just to stop the mouths of the officials, do you think your father and you are not in the same mind, hehe, I already knew Now, your subordinate craftsmen and the Heavenly Book you mentioned just now are totally non-existent, and I also know that those so-called Heavenly Books were written by the emperor himself, and he did not ask Mr. Kong."

I smiled when I heard it: "Father, you already know, why don't you ask me what to do? Are you afraid that the empress dowager will know?"

"You are Yu'er who loves me the most. I have always loved you very much. It's a big deal. My father is definitely on your side, although my mother is also the most important to me." My father said a little sadly. , and then continued: "I don't know how she can do it. Today's artillery, bicycles, mahjong and other strange things are in front of me. I think the queen has already guessed that you did it. I'm not blaming you now, just curious. You Why did you invent so many weird things, you have never left the palace, who taught you?" After finishing speaking, he sat down, probably ready to accept the unbelievable fact.

After thinking about it, I chose a statement that I thought would be the most acceptable, and said to my father, "Father, in fact, I have seen these artifacts in ancient books, but the book is no longer available." It's here." I didn't tell him the truth, not because I didn't believe him, but because I was afraid that he wouldn't believe me, and would he believe me when I was reincarnated.

"But, there is no such artifact in the legend, so who can write this book?" Father became more and more confused.
