Chapter 925: 232 On the Crossbow

An understatement in the official language made Han Lingfu's entire face gloomy, almost turning his face. After all, he remembered his image of being as gentle as a jade, and he just held back.
Even the emperor was dull, his eyes dull and unpredictable.
The surrounding ministers of civil and military affairs were all embarrassed, and there were already ministers shaking their heads secretly, and they didn't know whether they were feeling or admiring: Everyone knew that the emperor was in high spirits because of this new crossbow. If ordinary people have n’t just tried to coax the emperor with the heat, maybe It's a little bit more graceful, so this cozy hou is really different.
There are also some people who have irony in their eyes, thinking: The style of Guan Yubai, when it sounds good, is upright; if it is not good, it is the elm head, it will not be a man, and it is no wonder that the government family will end up like this ...
Probably as long as the eldest prince and the second prince hid their faces, but did not dare to make it too obvious.
"Easy Hou, come down with Xi carefully." The emperor Shen said.
"Return to the emperor," Guan Yubai replied unhurriedly. "Emperor, although this crossbow can send twelve shots at a time, but this twelve shots has a problem that cannot be ignored, which is its accuracy." He After a pause, he explained, "Fang Caichen and Wei Yanghou each issued twelve shots, but each time they hit the target of the arrow, but less than half."
When I tried the crossbow before, the twelve iron vectors "brushed" and flew out, almost impossible to capture with the naked eye. At last I noticed that there were several iron vectors inserted into the arrow target, but I didn't count the number of shots on the target. How many sticks.
Guan Yubai said this, and everybody counted it and found that it was indeed the case.
The emperor was thoughtful and did not immediately express his position.
Han Lingfu was secretly relieved. He thought the official language was nothing to say. If this was the problem, he and Cui Wei had already discovered it. He smiled ironically, and just now the official language said something "baubles" in a vain manner, apparently trying to win the favor. At this moment, it seems that this official officer who was once so fascinated by people is just like this.
"Father Emperor," Han Lingfu walked the first half of the trail, "please listen to your son and daughter."
The ministers saw that he was well-informed, knowing that he was afraid of watching a good show today.
"Three emperors, you say it." The emperor naturally agreed.
Han Lingfu looked up and said, "Father Emperor, in fact, the accuracy problem has also been discovered. In addition, the son also found that the twelve arrows are bursting, and the interval between each arrow is slightly uneven. Slowly ... "
Han Lingfu looked calmly at the official language, his eyes seemed to be saying, he would just tell the shortcomings of this crossbow, see what thorns you can pick!
Guan Yubai looked back calmly, a faint smile still on his lips, and he was not at all surprised by Han Lingfu's provocation.
Han Lingfu couldn't help but feel sullen for a while, but continued to say: "Father Emperor, according to Erchen, these defects look like problems, but they are not actually problems," he said confidently. "If today is The son-in-law and Anyihou are one-to-one, or there are several people to several people. The problem just mentioned will also become the key to victory or defeat, but now this crossbow is getting a hand on the battlefield and letting thousands of people. It was even used by tens of thousands of people. By then, tens of thousands of arrows would be launched, and who could escape the feathers of the sky? "
Hearing that Weiyanghou also nodded, "The emperor, Wei Chen thought that His Royal Highness Three was not bad, dense tactics can indeed cover the problem of insufficient accuracy of the crossbow."
The emperor groaned and asked the official language lightly, "Easy Hou, what else is wrong with this crossbow?"
The official language Baiyun replied calmly: "The question of accuracy is one, and the second involves military needs. This crossbow uses iron arrows as arrows, which is expensive, even if it does not cost, it still needs a lot of iron ore. For backup support, if you want tens of thousands of iron vectors to go together, you need to prepare hundreds of thousands, even millions of iron vectors. Such a large amount of distribution will be difficult. "
This conventional feather arrow uses iron as the arrow and wood as the arrow body, and the cost is naturally much cheaper than pure iron Ya.
The ministers talked to each other, and also felt that the official language was fair. According to Han Lingfu's plan, this was not a battle with Changdi, but a burn of money!
No one expected that Han Lingfu was still looking normal and calm.
Han Lingfu's mouth was slightly hooked. The problems mentioned by Guan Yubai were already in their expectations. He looked at Guan Yubai with a smile. This is the saying: "Father Emperor, it is really valuable to mass-produce Tieya. Therefore, the son-in-law is willing to transfer the father's emperor to the court with the 200,000 silvers in the son-chan ’s government to replenish the army and help me defeat Yu Changdi! "
As for this iron ore, Guan Yubai may not know, but Han Lingfu knows that Dayu is not short of iron ore today. Just one month ago, Jingzhou just discovered two new iron ore, and this iron ore and other All mineral rights must be nationalized, which means that the emperor Pingbai has two more minerals.
Although this Tieya does cost two silvers, Dayu can still afford to deal with a long-awaited Di.
Han Lingfu's impassioned words have attracted the attention of many ministers. The three princes are really for the country and the people. Even if they have not been crowned kings and have no food, they will not hesitate to take out their own silver.
The feelings of the great princes and second princes almost fell with the conversation between Guan Yubai and Han Lingfu. At this moment, their faces were so dull that they almost dripped water. The three princes gave out 200,000 silver for the country as the father and the emperor. If they did not do anything, would it not mean that there was no country and no father in the heart?
Even if they now offered to offer silver to the army, it was only a passive response. I am afraid that the father and the emperor would not remember their goodness, which means that the filial sons let the three princes do it.
The emperor nodded slightly with satisfaction, and laughed: "Okay! Three emperors, you have an interest." Then he praised the official sentence, "Easy Hou is also thoughtful!" The most feared thing in this battle is the supply of supplies No.
Han Lingfu rejoiced in his heart, sincerely said, "This is what the son-in-law should do." Then he asked the official language with a grin and smiled, but his temperament was not concealed in his eyes. Third? "
The smell of gunpowder in his words is naturally not concealed by smart people, but no one expected that Guan Yubai nodded and said gently, "There are indeed three."
Han Lingfu's complexion almost froze, but he could only say, "Please ask Anyi Hou for advice!"
Guan Yubai compared one finger and said slowly, "Please ask the emperor to give the minister time to make incense."
After the emperor answered, the housekeeper went to prepare the incense.
Next, Guan Yubai said: "The emperor is also asked to arrange an Imperial Forest Guard to test this crossbow with a stick of incense."
What medicine is sold in Guanyu White Gourd? Han Lingfu felt a little uneasy in his heart. He winked, and immediately a minister jumped out and said, "Yuan Yihou, what did you do to make a mystery before the emperor?"
Guan Yubai said indifferently: "The emperor, whether it is a trick or not, you only need to give the minister time to make incense, you can see for yourself."
The emperor took a deep look at the official language and said, "Okay, I believe you once."
Everyone stared at Guanyubai, wondering what the intention of this xiangxiang was.
Soon, a guard from the Imperial Forest stepped forward and obeyed the official language, and instructed him to take the crossbow and shoot arrows repeatedly and repeatedly until he could stop after a stick of incense.
that's it! ?
It wasn't just the Guardian Guard who couldn't believe his ears. Even the others around him were shocked and looked at each other.
The guard of the Yulin Army confirmed with Guan Yubai again and took the order to test fire.
"Uh! Uh! Uh ..."
Tieya shot again and again, every arrow was lightning fast, and it might be a little fresh at first, but soon this monotonous scene to a nearly boring scene made everyone feel a little tired.
Liu Gonggong whispered in the emperor's ears and suggested, "The emperor, why don't you wait in the temple?"
The emperor's brow moved, hesitating, and then saw Wei Yanghou arching hands: "Please also invite the emperor En Zhunweichen to inspect here!"
The emperor glanced at it before burning less than one-third of the incense, and then he gave it his head.
Since the emperor entered the Taihe Hall, other people naturally entered the hall in a mighty manner, including Guan Yubai.
Seeing that Guan Yubai had no intention of staying outside the temple to wait for the result of the test crossbow, although Han Lingfu had some ups and downs in his heart, he had to follow the crowd into the Taihe Palace.
According to the birthday feast process, the next five princes, six princes and other clan children continued to offer birthday gifts to the emperor. But at this moment, the emperor was obviously absent-minded and his words were faint. It seemed that he did not care about the gifts at all.
Not only the emperor, everyone was thinking about what happened just now, speculating what Guan Yubai was playing, so in the next time, I saw a series of eyes shot on Guan Yu from time to time, but it was official. Bai was actually the most calm and calm one, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and he ate elegant wine and ate delicious food.
Guan Yubai was so calm. Naturally, Han Lingfu couldn't lose to him. He tried hard to talk and laugh, but he kept thinking that this time should not be worse ... He glanced outside the hall without any trace.
At this moment, there was a little messy footsteps in the direction of the door of the temple. Weiyanghou strode into the temple and attracted all the eyes. He saw that his brows were narrow and his lips were tightly lined. When I walked, I glanced at the official language in vain, and that glance was really indescribable, but Han Lingfu's heart sank.
Could it be that……
Han Lingfu almost dared not think about it and said to himself, impossible! He and Cui Wei should have considered all the problems.
"His Majesty," Wei Yanghou bowed and saluted, "That crossbow was scattered!" If he hadn't seen it at the scene with his own eyes, he couldn't even believe it, the crossbow had fallen apart!
This sentence was shocking, and looked at each other silently.
Han Lingfu stood up stupidly, blurted out: "How is this possible ?!"
Wei Yanghou's complexion changed slightly, and he was displeased with the question raised by the three princes. Since he was under the command of the emperor, he did not dare to have a slackness in inspecting the crossbow. From beginning to end, his eyes did not leave. Even he hasn't figured it out yet, what the is going on.
At this time, the guard of the Royal Forest who had just tested the crossbow came in hastily, holding a large wooden tray in his hand. The tray was exactly the crossbow presented by Han Ling, but at this moment its crossbow arm, crossbow and crossbow machine had dispersed Drive away, and there is a deep red mark on the guard's face, which seems to have been hit by the scattered parts.
Han Lingfu's hand was fisted on the side of the body, trembling slightly, and he was entangled in a thought: impossible! impossible……
He couldn't help looking at the official language in the past, and saw the other person drank the wine in the glass slightly, as if all this was what he expected. Han Lingfu was shocked and suspicious. Does Guan Yubai really have the ability to foresee, or does he dare to move under the eyes of his father?
At this time, the housekeeper had presented the tray to the emperor. After the emperor took a closer look, his expression sank and he asked, "Weiyanghou, what is going on?"
Wei Yanghou hurriedly replied: "Return to the emperor, Wei Chen is also puzzled, just as the column incense is about to burn out, the crossbow suddenly dissipates ..." Then he couldn't help but read the official language again Bai Yi glanced, "Maybe Anyihou can dispel Weichen." This Anyihou is really terrible! He had previously heard the rumor that he was "exhausted", but he only laughed at it as a rumor. He never expected that the rumor was far worse than the real one!
The emperor's gaze also turned to Guan Yubai, and his gaze asked inquiries: "Anyou Hou, did you know that would be the case?"
This question is probably a common question in everyone's mind.
Guan Yubai stood up and replied calmly: "Return to the emperor, the court is a mortal, and naturally has no ability to foresee. But based on the court's experience, this crossbow is really sloppy in the design of the crossbow and crossbow. Although it can be Barely fired the twelve arrows, but because of the unstable structure of the crossbow body, every time it was fired, it would receive an impact. When Fang Caichen had faintly felt that the crossbow body was overstressed and the crossbow arm was shaking severely, I'm afraid it won't last ... "He said with a slight lip angle, and said calmly," Although this crossbow is difficult to use on the battlefield, it does make some sense, but it can be used for leisure. "
The emperor was originally stirred up with blood for this crossbow. He wanted to equip Dayu's army with such a crossbow, thinking that this time he could defeat Changdi, and even use this new weapon to fight the Quartet. The barbarity acts as a deterrent.
So when Guan Yubai said that this crossbow was expensive, the emperor did not take it for granted. The expensive and expensive benefits meant that even if the barbarians tried to imitate the crossbow, they could not equip their soldiers in large quantities.
I don't want to, it's just a sweet dream!
If it wasn't for Guan Yubai's discovery of this fatal flaw, once it took a lot of military money to make the crossbow and send it to the battlefield, killing the side here, the crossbow in the hands of the soldiers would be scattered all over the place. It turned into a big joke!
As the saying goes, "The higher you climb, the heavier you fall." While the emperor's heart was cold, his eyes looking at Han Lingfu became cold, and he felt that the three emperors were too unreliable, and it was in his life. At the banquet, let Manchao look at the joke up and down!
"Father Emperor ..." Han Lingfu knew that this time in the emperor's heart, he was really going to plummet, and his heart was as cold as ice, but he could only calm himself down, and said, "This crossbow has just been developed, and there are some problems, but its power The emperor also saw it, and the children believed that as long as they improved it, they would definitely be able to ... "
"Then wait for you to improve before you talk!" The emperor interrupted Han Lingfu indifferently.
Han Lingfu stopped talking and ended up sitting down sullenly, with a deep hatred in his heart: This Cui Wei was too unreliable to work, and he made such a big mistake that he was ashamed in front of so many people!
The more he wanted to get angry, even the future three princesses, Cui Yanyan, became a little angry.
The big prince and the second prince secretly exchanged a look, both gloating.
The second emperor had a thought in his heart: even if the official language is weak, he can no longer enter the battlefield, but he is indeed a talented person. This time, Guan Yubai obviously offended the three emperor brothers. Isn't that a great opportunity to win over him? Thinking of this, he could not help looking at Guan Yubai.
The birthday feast continued, but this time, the original cheerful atmosphere was even more unlikely to be restored.
After the emperor lost his interest, he was always interested in it. About half an hour later, the birthday party of the Taihe Hall was dispersed.
However, the day is not over yet. The feast of the feast of the banquet is now over. The feast of the feast in the harem has just begun. The second can be said to be a family feast. Only the emperor's relatives and some relatives of the emperor And concubines and princesses in the harem.
Therefore, after the birthday feast of Taihedian, Su went out of the palace and returned to Nangongfu. Only the remaining Nangongyu was left by the queen to participate in the family feast.
Several palace ladies led the way, and a group of ladies and girls came together in twos and threes, walking slowly.
Fu Yunyan came to Nangong with a smile and said, "Ah, let's sit at a table later."
Seeing her alone, Nangong looked around and asked, "Liu Niang, grandmother Yongyang?"
"My grandmother said that she was tired, so she went back to the house first." Fu Yunyan said this first. When he saw Nangong sorrow, he said with a low voice and said in his ears, "Grandmother wants to talk to Anyihou, so she will leave first because of tiredness. Now. "
Nangong stunned and listened to Fu Yunyan sighing again: "Ama, the person I admire the most is the officer general. At a young age, I can fight on the battlefield, and countless achievements!" She seemed to think of something, Xiao His face was darkened, and then he smiled again, "I have regretted him for him ... It seems that he doesn't need my regret today!"
Guanyubai is still that Guanyubai. Even if it is destroyed, it is still like a bunch of green bamboo in the snow, no one can crush it! This person is too inscrutable, as if he was born to stand on a high place, which is beyond expectations ...
Between words, they have been led to the big stage, the stage has been properly arranged, the lights are colorful, it seems that the red, green and green one is very bright, the team is on standby.
In front of the stage, a set of tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and most of the seats are still empty now.
The leading woman said that the feast would not start until half an hour later.
Fu Yunyan was about to propose to go elsewhere, but heard a familiar rant from behind: "Slap this palace!"
Then I heard a crisp clap, "Nangong" frowned, looking at the sound, and saw a slender figure in a veil, the second princess.
There was also a 14-year-old girl standing next to her. She had a beautiful appearance and a gentle and respectful look. She was wearing a emerald green dress with a lively Shuangfeiyan embroidered on the skirt, but at this moment a small beach of faint tea stains Dyed her skirt.
A court maid kneeled and begged for mercy: "Slave, it, begging your Highness and Girl Cui!"
"His Royal Highness, forget it." The Cuiyi girl persuaded warmly, looking dignified and dignified, "Today is Shengshou, it would be bad if the emperor was disturbed." After a pause, she sighed again, "This The dress is given by Zhang Fei's maiden, I hope the maiden will not blame me. "
The second princess snorted coldly and said, "Since Girl Cui intercedes for you, this palace will let you around you, a long-haired slave!"
The girl should be ... what Nangong Yan thought, his eyes flashed.
Fu Yunyan said in her ear: "That girl Cui, General Cui." That is the future three princesses.
Originally, this girl Cui had no relationship with Nangong Nian, but Nangong Nian had an uneasy cousin who wanted to enter the Three Princes' Palace. According to the truth, the relatives of this uncle are not serious relatives. When the three princes visited the cousin, it was understandable that someone was neglecting.
Seeing Fu Yunyan's thoughts, Nangong Yan smiled and didn't care. It may not be clear to others, but she knows that this girl Cui is a kind-hearted and kind-hearted woman. She was protected by Mrs. Cui when she was in the boudoir, so the drip was not leaked. However, after the girl Cui married in the previous life, her husband ’s backyard burst out. There are a lot of sensational things ... It seems that it is indeed better known today to meet. This girl Cui is quite good at leveraging her strengths and putting others on the face, and she does not know that the future three queens will face each other. Who is Bai Muxiao who is better?
Nangong Yan was wondering whether to avoid it. The princess's sharp eyes had been shot, and she smiled and said, "Isn't this the Lord of Shaking Light County?" Her malicious look seemed to be saying, even if Feng Ye What if the palace has a queen to help you, can you still hide forever?
Since they were provoked face to face, Nangong Yan walked along with Fu Yunyan in a generous manner, saluting: "Have seen Her Royal Highness Princess II."
Then Cui Yanyan also saluted Nangong Yan: "I have seen the county master."
After the three met the princess, the second princess stared at Nangong and said, "The junior, this person's encounter is really interesting! This time, Ms. Cui will bow down to the priest, but the next time, it will be the other way round. Now! Life is changing fast, and the proudness at this time does not represent a lifetime, do you say that?
The second princess was right. Now Cui Yanyan has no grades and grades, so when she sees Nangongyuan, she needs blessings, but after Cui Yanyan marries the third prince to become a well-honoured concubine, Nangong yan will treat Cui Yanyan. Salute.
The second princess laughed ironically, and the guide Miyazaki was really uninteresting. She wanted to promote her to become the third queen of the concubine.
Nan Gongxi said indifferently: "His Royal Highness is saying that the proudness of this time does not represent a lifetime." Didn't he fully prove this in his previous life?
Seeing Nangong Yu being indifferent, the second princess felt a bit boring. When she thought of another thing that Zhang Fei told herself, she thought resentfully in her heart: Although her father hadn't made up her mind ... But I'm afraid there will be this Nangong Yu When crying! That ’s for yourself!
Cui Yanyan smiled stubbornly, and suddenly asked, "Is there a cousin surnamed Bai?"
Fu Yunyan frowned. At this moment, the shout from the housekeeper came: "The emperor is here! The queen mother and the queen mother are here!"
Everyone looked straight, busy bowing their salute.
The emperor asked them to get up and sit with a smile. Fu Yunyan pulled Nangong Yu to the seat in the corner, and whispered to Nangong Yu: "Ah, this girl Cui doesn't seem to be as good as the rumor. You should be careful in the future. . "
Liu Niang is keen. Nangong Yu looked at her with a smile and said, "It's okay, can't I afford it? Can't I hide?"
The two little girls smiled at each other, and everyone took their seats.
The emperor took the queen and queen mother to sit in the middle of the table, Zhang Fei, Liu Fei and other high-ranking concubines sat at a table, a few princesses sat at the table ... After a while, they sat full.
The emperor quickly ordered a play, and the stage sang lively, and the glamour and hustle and bustle came up.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively. When they were in a wonderful place, everyone on the stage applauded and thundered, and the emperor laughed from time to time to relax others.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last until this second sing. A little housekeeper suddenly ran out of breath, kneeling in front of the emperor.
"See ... see the emperor!" The little housekeeper offered a discount respectfully. "There are three thousand miles of urgent discount!"
Three thousand miles urgent? !! That must be a major event that will shock the court!
Is it related to Changdi again?
Most of the people present were so skeptical, whispered and looked up at the emperor.
Gui Yan, beside the queen, winked at the stage, and the actors immediately stopped with interest, and the surroundings became silent.
The father-in-law took the zodiac from the small internal servant and handed it to the emperor. When the emperor opened the zipper, he looked at a line of words, and his face suddenly changed ... By the time he finished watching the zipper, his face was as dark as a cloud cover At the top, he suddenly stood up and strode away.
The father-in-law hurriedly followed, but he dared not say a word.
Everyone looked at each other. From the emperor's face, it was definitely not a good thing. Could it be said that the North Front Army was really defeated?
The protagonists of this birthday party have all left, and the queen naturally has no intention to continue, so they hurried away.
By the time Nangong returned to his house, the sunset had already stained the western sky.
Nangong Yu went to please Su's. When Su saw her, she couldn't hide her surprise. "Sister, why are you back so soon?" It stands to reason that the emperor's family dinner must be done at least after dinner. Absent.
Nangong Yan had time to explain one or two in the future, and a little girl hurriedly reported that the decree had arrived!
Naturally, this matter was given priority. Su immediately rushed to Ermen with Nangong Yu, and when they arrived, Lin's, Nangong Xin, and others in the other rooms also arrived.
Liu Gonggong and Nangong Gong are already very familiar, and when the incense case is set aside, they laugh and say, "Since the people are here, our family is ready to declare."
"There is a laborer, Father Liu."
Everyone in Nangongfu knelt down to receive the decree.
Liu Gonggong protracted his voice and read the decree: "It is carried in Fengtian, the emperor said ..."
His sharp voice almost rang through the entire Nangong Palace, but everyone listened to their intentions, but the emperor actually asked Nangong Yu and Xiao Yi to marry after ten days, and they would round the room later.
What exactly is going on? !! Nangong Nun did not enter the palace to attend a birthday party. The emperor unexpectedly advanced her and Xiao Yi's marriage by two years. Moreover, it is only reasonable for a woman and his wife to marry. Nangong Neng is just 13 years old!
Everyone sent Liu Gong's heart inconsistently, and they set their sights on Nangong Yu inadvertently.
"Sister-in-law ..." Lin's heart was full of perseverance. She had just started preparing her daughter for a dowry. Why would the daughter get married? There are so many things not ready yet! She is such a daughter, so willing to marry in such a hurry! Lin couldn't help feeling that the emperor's affairs were too outrageous.
Nangong Lin's eyes flickered, and she asked curiously: "Sister Sister, how could the emperor suddenly make you want to marry the son, and this time is too urgent. What is going on?" See no reason! ?
Nangong's eyes moved slightly, and she thought of the three thousand miles of urgent haste. It seems that the contents of this should be related to southern Xinjiang.
Nan Gongyu felt that the imperial edict in his hand was a bit heavy. Since the emperor had given it, Xiao Yi must have left soon ...
Although psychologically prepared, when the dust really settled, Nangong's heart still felt like a boulder. Xiao Yi's trip to southern Xinjiang can be said to be an internal worry and an external crisis, and the crisis is so heavy, how can she not worry about it.
She couldn't help but look up at the sky that was gradually getting dark. Now I am afraid that Xiao Yi has also received the decree.
At this time in the Zhennan Royal Mansion, Xiao Yizheng was kneeling in the main hall, respectfully listening to a father-in-law reading the decree:
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the king of the south of the county, Xiao Yi, and the owner of Yaoguang County were married on the eighth day of September, waiting for the owner of the county of Yaoguang and the Queen's Round House. Southern Xinjiang, temporarily take over the affairs of Southern Xinjiang to resist the army of the Southern Barbarians! "
"Simply obey!"
Xiao Yi bowed his head to take the decree, calm on the surface, but turbulent in his heart.
This day is finally here!
