Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 688 Actions of all parties
Because Xiao Feiyu leaked the gunpowder formula to Qi and Zhou.

As a result, the medicine has now become a hot commodity, and both Zhou and Qi are strictly monitoring it and prohibiting private trading.

This is why Xiao Xuance is so angry. Without gunpowder to make cannonballs, no matter how many cannons are cast, they will still be useless.

Therefore, during this period of time, the people below have been trying every means to buy medicine yellow from Qi State and Zhou State.

In comparison, cannon casting and mining are the least expensive of the three.

Zhao Kang clicked his tongue: "Then how much artillery shell inventory does the Thunder and Fire Department have now?"

Xiao Xuance said: "It's barely less than [-] rounds. If we really plan to destroy Qi and Zhou, I don't think it's enough. Speaking of this, Old Zhao."

"what happened?"

Xiao Xuance came closer and said, "We did an experiment before and calculated that the barrel of a cannon will become useless after about four hundred shots without interruption. Do you think you can find a way to improve the durability of the cannon? "

Zhao Kang rolled his eyes: "You have to ask the blacksmiths about this to see if you can add materials during the casting process to increase the strength of the barrel."

"So that's it." Xiao Xuance nodded.

"Okay, let's do this for now." Zhao Kang yawned and stood up. Now everything is ready and all he needs is the east wind.

He has almost arranged everything that needs to be arranged, and is just waiting for the armament to be perfected. He should worry about other things.

Zhao Kang, the coordinator of the Etiquette Department, doesn't need to do anything for his wedding. He can just hand over the invitation list to the Etiquette Department and let them make the invitations and send them out.

Soon the news of Empress Xiao Linglong's Zen position and Zhao Kang's reactivation spread.

It made others astonished.

Zhou Guo.

Li Muyi, who had just learned the news, quietly left the palace and came to the academy.

Looking at the woman in white who was giving a lecture on the stage, he randomly found a seat and sat down, listening like an open-minded student.

Gongsun Yunxiu noticed his arrival, but didn't say anything. He asked the academy students to leave until they finished today's lessons.

"What is your purpose here, Your Majesty?" Gongsun Yunxiu asked calmly.

Li Muyi smiled: "It's not a big deal. Do you know, Gongsun, that the Empress of Qian Kingdom has the Zen throne?"

Gongsun Yunxiu frowned slightly: "The Empress's Zen position?"

Li Muyi nodded: "Yes, the current emperor of Qian Kingdom is Xiao Xuance. It is said that he is the younger brother of the empress. According to the news from our people, this person was an ignorant idiot before."

"It's really unbelievable that in just a few years, the emperors of Qianjing Zhou Kingdom have all changed. By the way, Gongsun, everyone, have you ever been in contact with the new king of Qian Kingdom before you went to Qian Kingdom? What do you think of him?"

Gongsun Yunxiu said calmly: "No, as I said before, when I joined Qian, I was more interested in visiting the local customs and customs of Qian Kingdom, and did not have much contact with the royal family of Qian Kingdom."

Li Muyi felt helpless when he heard this. This woman is like this. Unless she is interested, even the emperor can't order her to do anything.

However, Li Muyi was not angry at all. He chuckled and said, "Then let me tell you something that may be of interest to everyone, Gongsun. Zhao Kang, the national preceptor, has now resumed his official position."

Gongsun Yunxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a figure appeared in his mind and said subconsciously: "Did the new monarch of Qian Kingdom activate it?"

Li Muyi smiled: "Yes, from this point of view alone, this new king of Qian Kingdom will not be a real idiot. Looking at it now, this may be intentional by the former empress Xiao Linglong."

"She went to depose Zhao Kang and wait until the new emperor came to the throne to use Zhao Kang. As the saying goes, once the emperor and his courtiers, once the emperor retires, this romantic relationship will come to an end."

"But Empress Xiao Linglong's move undoubtedly lit up the relationship between Xinjun and Zhao Kang, and also gave Xinjun a reputation for knowing people and making good use of them. This empress is really scheming. It's a pity that It’s rare to see her, but it is said that she is the most beautiful woman in the world, I wonder how she compares to Gongsun and others?”

"It's certainly better than several times." Thinking of the stunningly beautiful face that appeared in his mind at this moment, Gongsun Yunxiu didn't feel ashamed to admit it.

Li Muyi was very interested, "Everyone, Gongsun, do you think I would agree to marry Qian Guo?"

Gongsun Yunxiu looked at him with strange eyes: "You want to marry the empress?"

Li Muyi corrected: "Now we should call the other party Princess Divine Phoenix."

"Isn't Qian Jing an alliance? Then we, Dazhou, can also make peace with Qian Guo."

"Your Majesty can do whatever he thinks. No teacher can participate in such state affairs. If there is nothing else, I can resign."

After saying this, Gongsun Yunxiu stood up and left. Li Muyi was not angry at this. People with ability can have the capital to be arrogant.

Especially my own family.

After waiting quietly in the academy for a quarter of an hour, Li Muyi stood up and left.

Jingguo is already on the right track

Except for generals such as Gao Yuan and Chen Maokai, today's Jingguo Chaotang is basically full of new faces.

And there are many women there.

During this period, it was with the help of these people that the imperial court was supported and Jingguo was able to recuperate.

After listening to the eunuch reading out the documents sent by Qian Guo, Wu Guanhai looked at the ministers below with a smile.

"My lords, our Imperial Master has sent an invitation to invite us to a wedding banquet."

Gao Yuan, who was already one of the four generals of Jingguo, laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you will have to take your ministers with you when the time comes!"

"I haven't seen the Imperial Master for a long time. I miss him a lot. Your Majesty also wants to go." Chen Maokai also hurriedly stood up and joined in the fun.

"Your Majesty and I!"

"And the minister!"

Looking at the officials below who were signing up, Wu Guanhai couldn't laugh or cry: "If these are all gone, do we, Jingguo, still need it?"

Everyone couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Many of the new faces in the court were capable ministers promoted from various states.

Except for Gao Yuan and several of his brothers who had fought side by side, no one among them had ever seen Zhao Kang.

I have long been curious about King Zhao of Jingguo, and hope to take this opportunity to meet him.

After all, everyone now knows that although His Majesty has entrusted some powerful officials including six ministers.

But the position of prime minister has always been vacant. He reserved this position for the man named Zhao.

Wu Guanhai thought for a moment and then said: "Ministry of Rites, please arrange the congratulatory gifts. King Wu Tianhu of Wu, General Gao Yuan of Zhenbei, General Chen Maokai of Zhennan, Shangyunguan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Chen Liu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu, the five of you will go to Qianguo to congratulate King Zhao on my behalf. Happy wedding."

"I will obey your orders."

Gao Yuan and others looked at each other with awe in their hearts. If only Gao Yuan, Wu Tianhu and the others were going, it could be said that they were reminiscing with Zhao Kang.

But if you add the Minister of War and the Ministry of Household, it will be different.
