Vol 2 Chapter 84: Moonshine weapons

Su Fengnuan heard the words, stopped and looked at the emperor.
The emperor's face was solemn, and it was obvious that the matter to be entrusted to her was very solemn.
Su Fengnuan's thoughts moved and raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The rules laid down by the ancestors of the Southern Qi Dynasty, women are not involved in politics. Once involved in politics, they will bring harm to the country. You won't forget the emperor? Apart from being able to talk nonsense to you, I can't help you any more."
The emperor said in a deep voice, "I don't really believe that women are involved in politics and harm the country. The princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been in the court for many years, and she has not seen the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the political affairs. On the contrary, she has grown stronger and stronger.
Su Fengnuan sat down again, looked at the emperor, and smiled authentically, "Does the emperor want me to emulate the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty? To serve the country?" When the words fell, she shook her head amusedly, "Southern Qi is Southern Qi, and Northern Zhou is Northern Zhou. We Southern Qi Since ancient times, it has been respectful of etiquette, and the national style is such that men are inferior to women. Different from the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Qi, although the status of women is not equal to that of men, they are also distinguished."
When Wang Lu heard the words, he immediately drank, "Nonsense again!" The words fell, and he bowed his hand to the emperor, "The emperor, she is still a little hairy girl, and the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken. Each of the four members of the Su family, father and son, can serve the country, but only This daughter’s family can’t do it. She’s still a child, this is a joke."
The emperor said, "I listened to her today, but now I am not joking."
Wang Lu was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly said in horror, "All of her words are nonsense, and there is no basis in fact. The emperor, the Holy Lord, Mingjun, must not be trusted."
The emperor looked at Wang Lu and said, "Although it is nonsense, but there is some truth to it. What the facts are, I will naturally not jump to conclusions, naturally I will find out clearly." After the words fell, he said, "She is not a child. In your eyes, she is a child, but in Su Che’s report to me, she said that in the last battle, she used a series of tricks and severely injured the prince Chu Han of Bei Tuesday. I am in the southern Qi country."
Wang Lu immediately said, "She grew up in the general's mansion, and she has some talent in military affairs, and it is natural. But the emperor must not be the emperor when it comes to politics. My Southern Qi is indeed different from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. For a woman like a princess, the spitting stars of Yushitai can drown her."
The emperor sank his face when he heard the words and said to Wang Lu, "Although what I asked her to do is very important for the country, it is not politically involved. You don't have to be so afraid of panic."
Wang Lu looked at the emperor upon hearing this, "The emperor...what does he want her to do?"
The emperor looked at Su Fengnuan and said, "You just said, since there are ready-made samples in front of you, why can't Nanqi's military continue to be used? This makes the most sense. I intend to leave this to you and start immediately. , Ordered people to transform the Nanqi crossbow weapons."
Su Fengnuan was startled, but he didn't expect that the Emperor wanted to give her such an important matter to her.
Wang Lu was also stunned, and immediately said, "The emperor, military weapons are a big deal, how can they be handed over to her? Where can she do it well?"
The emperor said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate this little girl. She can set up a series of plans to defeat Bei Zhou, seriously injure Bei Tuesday's prince Chu Han, and kill Yue Gui concubine with ten moves. Then she can take on this weapon manufacturing. "
Wang Lu still said, "She is a daughter's house, there are no rules, if it is..."
The emperor waved his hand to stop Wang Lu from speaking any more, and sighed, "Wang Aiqing, Manchu civil and military, there are not many people that I can believe." After a pause, he said, "If it is true that there is something behind the King of Xiangjun Loyalty, if the little girl guesses, that barren mountain fief is used to raise war horses and private soldiers, then, if there are external and internal troubles, I am in danger."
Wang Lu fell silent for a while.
The emperor said again, "Twelve years ago, King Rong'an and the princess and a group of generals and soldiers died in battle. Twelve years later, the case of Ye Chang broke the moon and the imperial concubine was implicated in the old case of that year and the case of the Lingshan plague four years ago. Not to mention the old case twelve years ago, I vaguely knew about it, but I was unable to thoroughly investigate it. I only said that the Lingshan plague four years ago, I had never heard of it. The ruling and the public were concealing it layer by layer. To this point, Xu Yunchu is investigating those two old cases. , Before I find out, who can I trust?"
Wang Lu also sighed secretly, and was speechless.
The emperor said again, "Ye Chang blocked a hand for me, and now he is seriously injured. The Golden Autumn scientific examination has not yet arrived, and the court has not yet added a newcomer. The one I can use now is the little girl. General Su and his two sons Stationed at the border, the third son Su Qingcongwen, the weapon cannot be handed over to him, I think it is appropriate to hand it over to the little girl. Over the years, she has had a private relationship with Ye Chang, and I don’t even know it. If she conceals one thing , She should be able to do it with her cleverness and inspiration! What's more, no one would have thought that I ordered her to make weapons secretly, so if you hand it over to her, there should be no leaks and nothing will happen."
Wang Lu looked at Su Fengnuan upon hearing this, "Can you do it?"
Su Fengnuan thought for a while and said, "I can produce it, but the emperor can't just say that he must give me people to make crossbow arrows in large quantities, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. I alone cannot do it. First of all, we need It’s a soldier craftsman. I can’t go all over the world to search for blacksmiths. I have to let the soldier craftsmen of the Military Weapon Supervisor and Crossbow Office listen to me. In addition, give me a place, for example, where the royal family is forbidden, give it to me. Best, it can be kept secret. As for other things, if I have needs and requirements at any time, the emperor must satisfy me. Then, I can make this weapon and satisfy the emperor."
The emperor heard the words, "Well, as long as you can do it, I will answer you."
Su Fengnuan did not expect that the emperor would hand it over to her so easily. Her father was in charge of millions of soldiers and horses, and she took over the production of crossbow arrows. The Military Supervision Bureau had to listen to her, then , Su family, it can be said that the king's heart is really good, showing the emperor's trust in Su family.
Because of this trust, she must also do this well.
What's more, weapons are a major event. Once such ingenious crossbow arrows are used in the military, they will directly affect the border warfare. It is related to her father, and she can't take it lightly.
It seems that the days of being comfortable for two days are over again!
Su Fengnuan looked at Fengyang, and the emperor gave her this secret order. He didn't avoid Fengyang, and obviously he wanted to use him again. She said to the emperor, "Young Master Feng's injury is not as serious as Ye Chang's. It has been raised for a few days, and it will be almost the same for another three to five days."
Feng Yang glanced at Su Feng Nuan, and said nothing.
The emperor nodded and said to Fengyang, "Long Yan Ling and Feng Xing Ling were originally tokens exchanged by the royal family and Fengyang Escort. They are still valid here. These years, your Fengyang Escort and the Xiangjun King have been dealing with horses. The exchanges and the deep friendship, but I believe that Fengyang Escort will not participate in the affairs of the Xiangjun king. Therefore, I will leave it to you to investigate the assassination of the Xiangjun king and the Ye Patriarch. Are you in trouble? "
Fengyang glanced at Su Fengnuan and said, "Checking this is no more difficult than building a crossbow and arrow weapon. Fengyang dare not shirk it. The emperor has given me such a serious matter because he trusts the Fengyang Escort and trusts me. Fengyang is honored." After a pause, he said, "However, the Fengyang Escort has been seriously damaged in the past two months. Many bridge lines have been cut off. If this matter is investigated, it will not be easy."
The emperor said, "I also know that it is not easy. I will assign you ten of Qingwuwei." After that, he said, "If it is really difficult, you can go to Rong'an Prince's Mansion to find Ye Chang. Although he is ill in bed, My mind is not bad, maybe I can help you one or two."
Fengyang nodded when he heard the words, "In that case, I am following the decree."
The emperor nodded, and said to Su Fengnuan and Fengyang, "I will return to the palace later, and I will send someone to send the secret decree to you two. These two important things need to be done as soon as possible."
Su Feng Nuan and Feng Yang looked at each other and nodded together.
The emperor patted Wang Lu on the shoulder, "It is true that I have not called all the vassals to join the capital for many years. This is also feasible. I can also take the opportunity to see that after so many years, all places Is the prince still the same as before."
Wang Lu said, "It’s less than half a month since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the time is a bit rushed. It will inevitably lead to suspicion." He said, "The minister remembers that the Queen Mother’s birthday is one month after the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. It is better to push this matter to the Queen Mother’s birthday. In the name of the Queen Mother’s birthday, all vassals were called to Beijing."
The emperor nodded, "It's okay. Although it has been delayed, the name change is just right." The words fell, and said, "I remember that the Queen Mother's birthday is only three days away from Ye Chang's birthday. The Queen Mother's birthday is before, and he is behind, every year. Bring him into the palace and celebrate his birthday with the Queen Mother. This year, so many events are coming. I want to celebrate this year. After sweeping away the sluggish economy this year, the Queen Mother’s birthday will be celebrated for three days with Ye Chang’s birthday."
Wang Lu said, "Ye Shizi has been lonely since he was a child, and now he has suffered a disaster for the emperor. For the emperor to reward his love, he can afford it. The officials will not say much."
The emperor nodded, "Then the matter is decided. After I return to the palace, I will formulate it and inform the world, and call all the vassals to enter the capital in a month and a half to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, and by the way, tell me about the relationship between the monarchs and ministers."
Wang Lu nodded.
The emperor made the decision, stopped staying any longer, and set off for the palace.
Feng Yang said to Su Fengnuan, "I didn't expect that the emperor gave you the weaponry division. Are you sure you can hide everyone's eyes and ears from the middle of Beijing and secretly make crossbow arrows?"
Su Fengnuan said, "If I were the only one, I wouldn't be able to do it. However, the Emperor General's Armament Supervisor and Crossbow Office will send it to me. Although it is more difficult, it can be done naturally."
Feng Yang looked at her, "Have you ever thought about the fact that the emperor trusts the Su family so much that even your daughter's family is of use to you and leave these secrets to you. Is this good for the Su family?"
