Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 391 Cen Wenzhao: The world is so big, I want to see it
There was a jade pendant in the box.

The jade pendant is crystal clear, with a hint of green, and has an extremely delicate shape.

Although Su Chen did not see many specific things from the jade pendant, he could see one thing: the jade pendant was very valuable.

Putting down the jade pendant, Su Chen said cheerfully, "Roshan, we are old friends, right?"

Roshan nodded. "Of course. The friendship between Mr. Su and I is as good as the sun and the moon."

Su Chen's eyes twitched. There's no need to be so exaggerated, right?
"In that case, why did you give me this jade pendant?"

"This matter is really difficult, and we need Mr. Su's assistance."

Roshan sighed, "If it were any other trivial matter, I would naturally not trouble Master Su, but this time it is different."

"tell me the story."

Su Chen added, "Don't beat around the bush. You know my temper."

Roshan said in a deep voice, "Mr. Su, I want the musket in your hand!"

Oh hoo.

Su Chen leaned back slightly. No wonder this guy was so proactive today, offering wine and delicious food, as well as gifts. It seemed that he valued the musket.

"Why?"

"This is not something I want personally, but I want to trade with the Tang Dynasty on behalf of Persia."

Roshan said in a deep voice, "Mr. Su, you also know that the strength of our Persian Empire is naturally not on the same level as that of the Arab Empire. We are simply no match for them."

"Although we successfully defeated the Arab army with the help of General Wang and others, most of the territory in Persia is still in the hands of the Arabs."

"During this time that A Luohan was in the country, he reorganized the bureaucracy and the military, and was determined to regain the lost territory."

Su Chen kept nodding his head, he could understand this.

A Luohan not only came from the Persian royal family, but also lived in the Tang Dynasty for several years, so naturally he had an extraordinary vision.

As a member of the royal family, he wanted to recover the lost territories, which was naturally no problem, but he knew very well that with the strength of Persia, it was simply impossible to do so.

So, the best thing to do is to seek help.

However, the Tang Dynasty's help is only temporary, and it will never extend its hand to Persia.

Purchasing weapons became his only option.

"I also know how important these weapons are to the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that I specially invited Master Su to ask your opinion."

Although Roshan could meet Li Chengqian under the banner of Persia, it was impossible for him to buy muskets from Li Chengqian.

How can we sell our country's most valuable treasure to others?

Even if Li Chengqian agreed, the people in the Ministry of War would not agree.

"It's hard."

Su Chen knocked on the table and said, "At least for now, no one will agree."

Roshan sighed and said helplessly: "I understand, but I still want to give it a try, and this time we are sincere."

"Oh?"

"A Luohan has successfully inherited the throne of Persia, and is now leading his troops to the Tang Dynasty!"

Roshan said solemnly, "A Luohan came here this time with a sincere intention to submit to the Tang Dynasty and seek its protection."

Su Chen nodded suddenly. If that was the case, then there might be a chance.

of course.

It's just that there are a few more possibilities.

Luo Shan continued: "The prince has always valued Master Su. The prince will definitely consider Master Su's proposal, so I hope Master Su can help with this matter."

Based on Persia's submission and his proposal, it is indeed possible that Li Chengqian would agree to this matter.

"It's difficult."

Su Chen just shook his head, "But I can ask for you appropriately."

Luo Shan immediately showed joy on his face, "Thank you, Mr. Su!"

"On behalf of the people of Persia, I offer a toast to Master Su!"

"please!"

……

How could a weapon like the musket be handed over to Persia?
This thought just flashed through Su Chen's mind.

how can that be possible!
Once Persia possessed powerful firearms and its fighting power increased, it would be difficult for the Arab Empire to cope with it.

By then.

Under the leadership of Arohan, Persia will surely sweep across the Arab Empire, not only to avenge its previous defeat, but also to recover all the territories it had lost before.

What benefits would the growth of Persia bring to the Tang Dynasty?
When I returned to Taizi Residence, someone was already outside, waiting quietly.

"Cen Wenzhao?"

Su Chen was a little surprised, "You are back from Shannan Road?"

Cen Wenzhao smiled and said, "I have just returned from Shannan Road with the permission of the Crown Prince and am now serving my mother at home."

"Let's go, let's go into the mansion and talk."

Su Chen greeted Cen Wenzhao with a smile and walked into the Prince's residence.

Come to the study room.

Cen Wenzhao couldn't wait to speak up and said, "Can I resign now?"

Su Chen immediately smiled, "Have you had enough of staying in Shannan Road?"

Cen Wenzhao sighed, "I guess so."

Su Chen: "Actually, this result is pretty good for you!"

"You two brothers, one is an official in the court, and the other is an official in the outer court. The prince values ​​both you and your elder brother very much. Why do you want to give up your property in Shannan Road?"

Cen Wenzhao: "Mr. Su, I am just a dandy boy. It was a bit fresh at the beginning, but after a long time..."

Su Chen nodded in understanding.

Cen Wenzhao was not a peaceful person to begin with. Because he had something on Cen Wenzhao, he forced Cen Wenzhao to do things for him in an obedient manner.

Now that the prince is about to ascend the throne, it is inevitable that Cen Wenzhao will have some other thoughts.

Su Chen knocked on the table and said, "I can't give you an answer for now, but considering your outstanding performance in recent times, I can mention it to the prince appropriately."

"But I can't guarantee that the prince will agree to this."

Hearing this, Cen Wenzhao breathed a sigh of relief. At least Su Chen did not use his weakness to threaten him again. Cen Wenzhao bowed deeply, "With your words, I feel relieved."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Why, do you still want to go back to Chang'an City and be a playboy?"

Cen Wenzhao shook his head. "If I go back to Chang'an City and become a dandy boy, I'm afraid I'll be dealt with by the master in a few days."

Su Chen chuckled.

Cen Wenzhao: "The world is so big, I want to go see it!"

Su Chen: “……?”

"speak English."

Cen Wenzhao grinned and said, "If I can't be a playboy in Chang'an City, I can go somewhere else."

Su Chen: "..."

Okay.

It's rare to keep your original intention in mind!
"Good for you."

Su Chen rolled his eyes and said, "It's getting late, go back and rest."

……

The next morning, Su Chen took Sun Qiang and others and went straight to the manufacturing bureau.

The Manufacturing Bureau is under the Ministry of Industry and is in charge of weapons manufacturing. Ammunition, military equipment and other things all come from here.

"Stop anyone who comes."

"I am Su Chen, here to visit Mr. Feng from the Manufacturing Bureau."

As he spoke, Su Chen handed over the prince's token. After seeing the prince's token, the soldiers on duty suddenly became serious.

"Mr. Su, please come with me."

A soldier led Su Chen in, and the other went to the inner room at a very fast speed, probably to report the matter.

In the office, Duan Lun looked at Feng Baojun with a smile on his face.

Feng Baojun sighed, "Sir, please don't embarrass me. All the products made in my manufacturing bureau are weapons. Isn't it a waste of time for you to ask me to make these things?"

"Hey, you can't say that!"

Duan Lun raised his hand to stop Feng Baojun and said in a deep voice: "The crown prince is about to ascend the throne, and our Ministry of Industry should also show some sincerity and congratulate His Royal Highness the crown prince, right?"

Feng Baojun said helplessly: "That's what you said, but the problem is, you asked my craftsmen to make fireworks, isn't that too much?"

"You can always ask someone else for such trivial matters."

"If they can do it, why would I come to you?"

"..."

Feng Baojun sighed.

I don't know what Duan Lun was thinking, he actually wanted to create a unique fireworks display! And he wanted it to bloom in the sky on the day when the crown prince ascended the throne!

Isn't this just giving their Manufacturing Bureau something to do for nothing?
"Your Excellency, Mr. Su Chensu requests to see you!"

"Su Chen is here?"

Duan Lun and the other two looked surprised.

I never thought that Su Chen would come to the Manufacturing Bureau.

"Please!"

Duan Lun suddenly grinned and said, "Su Chen is extremely proficient in these things!"

Feng Baojun immediately understood Duan Lun's meaning when he heard this, and said, "I will come to meet him in person."

"Don't bother."

Su Chen walked in from outside with a smile, "Greetings, Master Duan, Master Feng."

"Mr. Su, you're welcome."

"Mr. Su, please take a seat."

Duan Lun and the other man were extremely enthusiastic.

Su Chen smiled and said, "I just arrived and I heard you two mentioned my name. I wonder what you two are talking about?"

Feng Baojun did not hide anything and directly told Duan Lun the task assigned to him.

"It's a good idea to create fireworks for celebration."

Su Chen nodded, "It's just that it's a bit of a waste of resources to put it in the manufacturing bureau. If Lord Duan needs it, I can order someone to make it quickly."

"really?"

Duan Lun had a look of joy on his face, but he became serious the next second, "Su Chen, this is for our Ministry of Industry to congratulate the crown prince on his ascension to the throne."

Su Chen laughed dumbly, "Look, look, am I going to take advantage of you?"

"I will not claim it as my own and say it is a gift from me, Su, to congratulate the crown prince on his ascension to the throne."

Duan Lun: "That's too harsh, too harsh."

With Su Chen speaking up and taking over the matter, Feng Baojun immediately smiled happily, "Mr. Su, what's the matter with you coming to my manufacturing bureau this time?"

"nature."

Su Chen said in a deep voice: "I want to see the current progress of the manufacturing bureau in manufacturing firearms and other weapons."

This……

Feng Baojun hesitated.

Su Chen did not hold any official position and did not have the prince's handwritten order. It was obviously against the rules to let Su Chen go in to check.

"Why think so much?"

"Mr. Su has the prince's badge in his hand!"

Duan Lun made a casual remark, which awakened Feng Baojun.

That's right.

He is a favorite of the prince.

He made a great contribution to the prince's smooth ascension to the throne. In addition, with this trip to the Western Regions, why should he make Su Chen unhappy because of some so-called rules?

Feng Baojun smiled and said, "Let's go for a walk. It's a good opportunity to ask Mr. Su for some advice."
