Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 281 Li Xiaogong was molested and Li Yifu was reported

The emergence of firecrackers and crossbows in the era of cold weapons was a real dimensionality reduction attack.

The annihilation of Goguryeo's 300,000-strong army is the best proof of this.

The successful development of artillery, coupled with aerial strikes by hot air balloons, completely changed the way future wars were fought.

Under this kind of land and air attack, it is impossible for any army to be a match for the Heavenly Master of the Tang Dynasty.

The morale collapsed instantly after taking the initiative.

You know, in ancient cold weapon wars, the most important thing for the army was morale.

Without morale, there is no fighting power, and we are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Even if you have armor, no matter how strong it is, without morale it is just an embroidered pillow, good looking but useless.

The ministers present were all founding ministers who had fought in battles with Li Shimin in the past.

As Li Chengqian described this, a scene of the heavens and the earth fighting together against the enemy emerged in their minds.

I couldn't help but shiver.

If they had encountered such an army back then, why would they have fought?

Just put down your weapons and surrender.

Li Shimin was extremely upset and excited.

He clenched his fists.

"Is it possible?"

Li Shimin asked with difficulty.

"Can become!"

Li Chengqian said.

After getting the answer, Li Shimin did not react for a long time. He looked into the distance with deep eyes, at the twenty-seven cannons and the hot air balloon in the sky.

The ministers were also silent.

At this time, no one spoke, just waiting for His Majesty's decision.

"Tiangong Academy has made great achievements."

Li Shimin then said, "I am very relieved."

"Everyone in Tiangong Academy will be rewarded!"

Everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Needless to say.

They were all shocked, and there was no way His Majesty could remain indifferent.

However, from now on, Tiangong Academy will inevitably rise in prominence, and its status and influence in the eyes of His Majesty will become increasingly greater, even to an unimaginable level.

Even they will not dare to underestimate Tiangong Academy in the future, and will even pay more attention to it.

“They are all treasures.”

"Things are treasures, and the talents of Tiangong Academy are also treasures."

Li Shimin said: "Treasures should be cherished and used!"

One word and three levels.

Affirming the achievements of Tiangong Academy is also affirming all kinds of people in Tiangong Academy.

Since it is a treasure, what should I do?
The minister understood immediately that his own children must not be blind and offend these precious kids.

"His Majesty!"

Li Xiaogong was so thirsty and excited that he said, "These cannons and hot air balloons."

"The Ministry of War..."

Li Shimin pointed at him, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Look how anxious the Prince of Hejian is."

"I can't wait any longer."

Li Jing chimed in, "If the Ministry of War is not anxious, then when the soldiers become anxious, the prince will probably be even more anxious."

Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I cannot help but be anxious. These things will not only help improve the combat effectiveness of the army."

Li Shimin jokingly asked, "Can you still run away?"

"That's not the case." Li Xiaogong shook his head: "It's just that I'm kind and I'm afraid someone will snatch it away."

He also sighed in his heart, this journey was completely beyond his imagination.

Even though he had fought in many battles and seen many big scenes in the past.

But compared with this, there is a world of difference.

"Uncle, you are joking. Who can compete with the Ministry of War?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "But uncle wants something from Tiangongfang, so you have to show your sincerity."

"Your Highness, please give your orders. We will never hide anything the Ministry of War has." Li Xiaogong said, patting his chest.

"His Majesty."

Li Chengqian changed the subject and said, "Tiangong Academy has always been short of guards. Now that we have this magical weapon, we should strengthen our vigilance and precautions."

Tiangongyuan is managed by a unit of the Crown Prince's Guard, and of course there are also self-organized guards.

He is now preparing to take this opportunity to improve the protection level of Tiangong Academy.

It would be best to have an army stationed there.

If these two guys are brought out, Li Shimin will definitely have to keep an eye on them under his own nose.

"hehe."

Li Shimin smiled knowingly and said, "Prince of Hejian, look, your sincerity is coming."

"Select a group of absolutely loyal and reliable people from the Beijing camp and station them in Tiangongyuan to provide comprehensive protection. No one is allowed to intrude."

Li Xiaogong said loudly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take care of it myself."

"Your Highness, what about this artillery?"

Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "Xin Shao Hou, what do you say?"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the artillery is not yet stable. There are many aspects that require multiple tests before it can be officially determined whether it can be used." Li Chunfeng said.

Ok?
Li Xiaogong was suspicious and asked, "Is this not enough?"

"I've already taken so many hits, and you're telling me you want to do another experiment?"

Li Shimin was also a little surprised.

"Your Highness, you don't know that this cannon is prone to explosion. Once it explodes, it will either kill or cripple you. You have to be careful."

Li Chunfeng said: "We can only test fire a dozen times at most. If we do more, there will be a threat of the barrel exploding."

"I dare not give such weapons to the soldiers to use..."

Li Xiaogong was anxious, and even Li Shimin was shocked.

"It is still a semi-finished product. To be on the safe side, we should understand the intentions of Xin Shao Hou." Li Chengqian said.

"Then when will the product be ready?" Li Xiaogong asked.

Li Chunfeng looked embarrassed.

"What do you mean? When?"

"We are short of money right now. A cannon is very expensive to build. If one is blown up, it will be useless..."

Li Shimin's expression suddenly became normal. He had been waiting here for a long time.

It is also roughly clear why Tiangongyuan is spending so much money.

"How much do you need?" "As many as you can get."

Li Xiaogong's expression froze. Do you think my Ministry of War is being taken advantage of?

As many as you want.

Can I give you all the annual military calculations?
"Your Majesty, this Tiangong Academy was previously supported by the Eastern Palace's inner treasury. Don't you think so..." Li Xiaogong said very slyly.

"The East Palace has invested a lot of money. No matter how much more, it can't afford to be tossed around." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Your Ministry of War has made a fortune, hasn't it?"

"Please show your support."

Li Chengqian echoed, "Uncle, now it's all semi-finished products, just one step away from being finished."

"If you invest now, you will own half of the shares, but when we sell it to you, we will own half less."

"If you don't invest money, then it's full price."

Li Xiaogong subconsciously asked, "How much is the full price?"

Li Jing turned his head away, unable to bear to look at it. "Prince of Hejian, you are being masturbated and you don't even know it."

How to jump in step by step.

Li Chengqian gave Li Chunfeng a look.

"Five thousand guan per door!"

After Li Chunfeng finished speaking, he saw the prince's disappointed look and immediately realized that he had quoted a low price.

"Hiss, so high?"

Li Xiaogong was torn between conscience and desire while he was calculating.

Li Shimin was so happy that he didn't say anything and just watched the show from the side.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others had nothing to do with the matter.

Five thousand strings of cash per door, the Tiangong Academy will definitely take over your Ministry of War.

at this time.

An official came walking quickly. He was from the Censorate.

Upon seeing this, Ma Zhou hurried forward and spoke in a low voice.

Li Shimin was not paying attention. He held up a telescope and looked at the devastated hillside in the distance.

Ma Zhou waved his hand to let the official leave, then quickly walked to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, the Censorate has received a report."

"Someone reported that the General Director of News, Li Yifu, was corrupt and accepted bribes, manipulated the direction of newspaper reports, and deceived public opinion."

hiss!
Everyone secretly gasped.

Almost all the ministers present knew that something serious had happened.

Everyone knows the importance of Li Yifu's location.

The newspaper he manages largely represents the will of the two palaces.

Moreover, he was recommended by the Crown Prince and is a member of the Eastern Palace.

The report suddenly broke out and was sent directly to the Censorate.

None of this is the key point. The key point is that the Censorate delivered the news to the emperor.

The problems it represents are huge.

Someone wants to take action against Li Yifu in order to undermine the prestige of the prince.

who is it?

Changsun Wuji worked quickly, but he found that Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu and other ministers looked at him meaningfully.

He was dumbfounded.

What do you mean?
Do you think it's me?
How is this possible? I am the prince's uncle, there is no way I would do such a thing.

Don't accuse me, don't look at me, I don't know.

Li Chengqian's eyes also became slightly sharper.

What Li Yifu did in the General Information Office was extremely in line with the wishes of the two palaces.

It is also managed very well, at least the previous chaos has not occurred again.

Just look at the fact that the front pages of major newspapers sing praises of the Holy Emperor every day.

Li Yifu is absolutely qualified as the Silang.

But if the imperial court is doing well, some people are bound to suffer.

"Is this for me, or..."

Li Chengqian was a little unsure for the time being.

"Prince, what do you think?"

"You should understand Li Yifu, right?"

Li Shimin said casually, as if he didn't care too much.

Li Chengqian thought quickly and concluded that it should not be Li Shimin who wanted to get rid of Li Yifu because of the Tuyuhun incident.

"Your Majesty, what the Tiangong Academy is showing today concerns the secrets of the Tang Dynasty and must not be leaked in the slightest." Li Chengqian answered a question that was not related to the question.

It sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

This is the prince's response.

That means playing the long game.

Anyone who knew anything about the weapons displayed today would probably regret reporting it.

"What the prince said."

Li Shimin made a prompt decision and said, "No one present today, no matter who it is, is allowed to reveal a single word."

"otherwise……."

"It's considered treason!"

His tone was very calm, but it was unquestionable and full of murderous intent.

"Your servants obey my orders!"

Li Shimin turned around and said, "Marquis Xinshao, follow me back to Chang'an."

"I want to get to know Tiangongyuan better."

Li Chunfeng bowed and said, "Yes!"

The group went back home.

Li Chengqian lagged behind a little, and Changsun Wuji, seeing the look given by the prince, also fell behind.

"uncle."

As soon as Li Chengqian opened his mouth, Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I am not aware of the report."

"It doesn't matter whether you know or not." Li Chengqian's words frightened Changsun Wuji. My dear nephew, please don't misunderstand me.

"I hope my uncle won't leak the news of what I saw and heard today."

He didn't mean to question Changsun Wuji, but to warn him emphatically.

The mouth was shut tightly.

"I will obey your Highness' orders!"

"That's good."

Li Chengqian sighed quietly: "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop."
