"Boom", a loud bang.

Then, in Li Shimin's eyes, more than half of the ministers fell limply to the ground after the loud noise, and some ministers passed out directly, and some ministers still stood firm, but their legs shook like a sieve. Similarly, a few people even got a big piece of their official uniforms wet.

Li Shimin put his hands off his ears in embarrassment. He was so excited just now that he really forgot that these ministers had never seen these cannons. Animals' instinct for such loud noises is fear. Like a thunderbolt, it is enough to make one's heart shattered.

Changsun Wuji was one of the few civil servants who was not frightened and collapsed to the ground. He still stood strong, but his legs were not in control at this time, and he was numb. It took a while for him to recover slowly. , Complained: "Your Majesty, you have made us suffer. Look at these ministers. It is estimated that few of them will be able to go to court tomorrow morning."

"I'm so happy and confused." Li Shimin squeezed out a smile, looked at the minister who was still in shock, Li Shimin quickly comforted him, "Don't be alarmed, dear friends, this is the sound of artillery, now you all know something about this artillery, it's just that The sound of the guns is enough to scare the enemy off their horses." Slowing down, the pale faces of the ministers gradually returned to blood, and those ministers who were scared to pee were ashamed at this time, and covered the wet places with their large sleeves. At this time, I really want to find a ground to drill in, it is really embarrassing.

Compared to these civilian officials, generals like Li Jing behaved normally. After all, they came out of the sea of ​​swords and blood. They have never seen any kind of battle, but they were just frightened. They quickly turned their attention to the place where the artillery fired just now. There was still a two-meter-high earth wall standing just now, and now there is still a trace, and it all collapsed to the ground.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful weapon in the world. Your Majesty, with artillery, we no longer have to be afraid of those barbarians on the grassland." Li Jing said while twisting his gray beard. Eyes full of excitement.

Hou Junji also nodded, "And this weapon can also have a surprise effect. The horses at the gate of the city were all surprised by the loud noise just now, and it can be used to deal with the cavalry."

Li Shimin said: "What the two lovers said is exactly my original intention to ask the king of Shu for this weapon. We took advantage of the Turks when we defeated the Turks, because at that time there was civil strife in Turks and heavy snow on the grassland. Otherwise, we would not be able to Easily defeated the Turkic people, this time Xieli's comeback will definitely learn the lessons from the past, so we have to be careful." Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, and said: "The emperor is absolutely right, so these artillery pieces must be kept in secret. So as not to reveal the secrets of the artillery, it will be useful for them when the time comes."

"Well, what the auxiliary machine said makes sense. Let this batch of artillery be handed over to the Zuowuwei Camp for management." Li Shimin pondered for a while and said, the Zuowuwei Army is his most trusted Imperial Guard, and it is not easy for Li Shimin to hand over such weapons to others. rest assured.

Let the ministers understand the power of the artillery, and Li Shimin's goal has been achieved, and no one will make irresponsible remarks about the right to mint coins. So he asked Cheng Huailiang to take the soldiers to transport the hundred artillery pieces to the camp, and these artillery pieces would be supervised by Cheng Huailiang himself.

Looking at Li Shimin's leaving figure, Li Tai and Li Chengqian looked different. Ever since Cheng Huailiang married Princess Qinghe, Li Shimin's trust in Cheng Huailiang has become stronger day by day, which makes them feel extremely uncomfortable, because everyone understands that Cheng Huailiang is not just a son-in-law, because after all, Princess Qinghe is Li Yin's. younger sister.

Apart from the two princes Li Tai and Li Chengqian, who were also uncomfortable with this decision, there was another person who was also uncomfortable. He is Hou Junji, and he has always regarded himself as Li Shimin's most trusted general. After seeing this weapon just now, he thought that Li Shimin would hand over the cannon to him, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to say a word lightly. This treasure came into the hands of Cheng Huailiang. To a veteran official like him who founded the country, Cheng Huailiang was just a brat, how could he deserve to compete with him.

Hou Junji is a person who can't hide things on his face, and his displeasure immediately reflected on his face, and this scene fell into Li Chengqian's eyes. He rolled his eyes, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Hou Junji. come.

"General Hou!" Li Chengqian shouted as he walked side by side with Hou Junji.

Hou Junji was still indignant, he was a little surprised to see Li Chengqian approaching, bowed and said, "His Royal Highness!"

Li Chengqian returned a salute, and said casually: "General Hou is not happy because the father handed over the artillery to Zuo Wuwei's camp."

"Why did the prince say that? How dare a humble minister disrespect the emperor's will." Hou Junji felt a sudden in his heart, and naturally denied it.

The smile on the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth grew stronger. Since Ashinalan was imprisoned in the cold palace by Li Shimin, Li Chengqian's heart became colder day by day, and his resentment towards Li Shimin became stronger day by day. He stayed in the prison for fifteen days. After thinking about why he suffered so much pain, he realized after painful thinking that it was all because he was the prince and not the emperor. Li Shimin could marry the princess of the previous dynasty because he was the emperor and he could not marry Ashinalan. Together, because he is the prince, and as long as he becomes the emperor and has the power to rule the world, then who can stop him from being with the woman he loves the most.

"General Hou don't need to worry too much. I don't mean to ask the teacher to ask for a crime. I just complained about General Hou. Cheng Yaojin's reputation in the army is now relying on the relationship of this in-law. Speaking of ability and credit, How can he compete with General Hou?", Then Li Chengqian laughed, "Hey, let's not mention this, I am still troubled by a troublesome thing recently!"

"How can there be any trouble under the crown prince's one person, and over ten thousand people?" Li Chengqian's words just now spoke to his heart, so he started talking with Li Chengqian.

He frowned and said: "It's not because of the concubine, General Hou must also know that I made some mistakes a few days ago and was punished by my father. That's why Shi Nalan made a fuss about this matter, and now the empress has selected many people, but either the empress is dissatisfied or I am dissatisfied, so this matter has been shelved."

"So that's the case, but there are really not many women who are worthy of the crown prince, so it's hard to choose." Hou Junji read some different meanings from Li Chengqian's words.

While talking, the two arrived at the gate of the city. Li Chengqian got on his horse and said, "I saw Haitang a few days ago, but I didn't expect her to grow up so big. General Hou wants to find him a suitable family, so farewell! "After that, Li Chengqian rode his horse and left.

"Farewell!" Hou Junji cupped his hands, looking thoughtfully at Li Chengqian's retreating back.

The arrival of the artillery in Chang'an was reported back to Yizhou through Chang'an's Shengtang Newspaper on the same day. Since using the radio station, Li Yin certainly did not forget to install one for his subordinates in Chang'an. At the same time, he also sent a diesel generator , otherwise there is no way to use the radio station, and after the radio station is opened, it will be much easier for Li Yin to get any information from Chang'an. It only needs a dial number, which is as convenient and quick as a telephone.

Knowing that because of Li Shimin's mistakes, many ministers were scared to pee their pants, Li Yin almost died of laughter, and he thought it was funny to imagine the embarrassment of the handsome courtiers in the court on weekdays.

"Your Highness, what is it that makes you laugh so happily?" Li Yin came out of the radio room and laughed all the way to the bedroom. Cui Yingying was watching Si Zi do her homework at this time, and she also asked with a smile when she saw Li Yin like this.

"It's nothing, just a little anecdote from Chang'an, saying that the ministers were scared by the sound of the artillery and peed their pants." Li Yin said.

Hearing this, Cui Yingying said: "I said, why is Your Highness so happy?" Cui Yingying just smiled lightly, she is not Li Yin, after all, many ministers have troubled Li Yin in the past, now Li Yin naturally has a trace of revenge pleasure.

Seeing the smiling faces of the two, Sizi sitting on the chair didn't notice her at all, and turned a page of the textbook secretly. This was the homework assigned by Cui Yingying, and asked her to read all the texts. Now she can finally be lazy , Sizi showed a mischievous smile.
