Chapter 111 Chen Jianjun

Although Ruizong's proposal was applauding, it was also surprising. No one expected that Ruizong, who had always been humble, would have such ridicule. Princess Taiping suppressed her smile: "Fifth Brother, why did you think of this coming?"

"Little sister, why can't the fifth brother think so?" Ruizong asked back without answering the question.

Princess Taiping took out the cute little girl's airs and said naughtyly: "Fifth Brother, I don't mean that. I think that a person as good as a fifth brother actually has such bad intentions. It depends on Gesang's discouraged face."

This is a joke. Ruizong is in a good mood now and smiled and said, "Little sister, the fifth brother will do something unethical, look at his face and find happiness."

Ruizong kept laughing, and his mood was indeed so good that he couldn't be better.

As he was talking, more than 300 envoys came over under the escort of the Longwu Army. When they saw the disparate ground, they were all surprised and held back their hearts and bowed to Ruizong.

Ruizong waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. Today I'm inviting you here to watch the ceremony. Look, this is the place where the Tang Dynasty's weapon has been bombarded. Look carefully. How about it, is it powerful?"

"The power of the Tang Dynasty, we are convinced!" The envoy was busy pleading with him.

The Tang Dynasty was famous, and it was impossible not to flatter the envoys. However, today, the flattery was heard in his ears and was happy in his heart. Compared with the previous flattery, he smiled and said, "Gesang, look, this place is only two miles in size, about the same size as the Stone Castle City. What would it look like if this weapon was pulled in front of the Stone Castle City? Will it be like here?"

Everyone knows that artillery was built specifically to attack Shibao City. When Ruizong said this, it was obvious that he was ridiculing Gesang. He ridiculing Gesang was just underestimating Tubo.

Tubo was still a big country at that time. Although it was far inferior to the Tang Dynasty, neither economic nor military power nor military power were the opponents of the Tang Dynasty. However, compared with other countries, Tubo was still a giant and not many could compare with Tubo.

Many envoys were full of hatred for Tubo. After hearing Ruizong's words, they felt very pleased and hurriedly echoed: "Master Gesang, please tell me quickly."

Gesang was very depressed and thought that after this matter was over, he would settle accounts with these envoys who were ignorant of the current affairs. He was already surprised in his heart, but his face was as if nothing had happened, and he smiled and said, "Emperor, there is an old saying in China that is good at 'weapons are weapons, and the saints had to use it.' Great Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have always had good friends, so why did the emperor say this?"

He is worthy of being an envoy and capable of speaking wisely. At this time, he is still stubborn and even blames people with great righteousness. Ruizong couldn't help but be suffocated.

Princess Taiping thought to herself that Gesang must be so scared that she couldn't even speak. Unexpectedly, Gesang performed well and had some courage, so she nodded and praised her secretly.

Chen Wanrong sneered and took over the conversation, saying, "Gesang, do you know where the duck will not rot? That is the mouth. The duck is cooked all over, but this mouth will not rot. You are the virtue of this dead duck!"

As soon as the words came to an end, a sound of ridicule sounded, and even Ruizong couldn't stop nodding and secretly praised Chen Wanrong for being able to speak.

Gesang's face turned red and bowed to Ruizong and said, "Emperor, Gesang came to the favor of brothers Shen on the order of Zanpu. This man was bold and rude and insulted the envoy. Please punish these verbal people for the sake of the brotherly countries of the two countries."

Chen Wanrong sneered: "Gesang, do you know what you are? You are incompetent! When a child spanked someone, he went home and said to his parents, 'Dad, someone spanked my little butt, you have to vent my anger'. You are the useless child who spanked me."

This makes sense, but it is yin and impairs enough, which makes everyone laugh. Among the envoys, not everyone has cultivation. Those who have a little cultivation are even more laughing and bent down, pointing at Gesang, panting, "Gesang, have you hit someone with your little butt?"

Ruizong wanted to laugh, but because of the emperor's majesty, he couldn't laugh. He tried his best to hold back his laughter and turned his face red. Princess Taiping smiled and smiled, "Wanrong, you can really tell."

Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen were so angry that they bent down.

Even Li Longji, who has always been serious, smiled and said to Gesang: "Gesang, you have learned the words of China but don't know what it means. War is a weapon, and the saint has to use it. Yes, that's right, that's what you said. However, you just happened to say the opposite. Shibao City is the city of my Tang Dynasty, but it was occupied by you Tubo. It's natural for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to retake it! It's the way of the saint! You Tubo covet the city of China and are good at starting the war. What's the face of you talking about the way of the saint here?"

These words are righteous and stern, and Gesang was speechless all of a sudden. No matter how good Gesang's eloquence is, Shibao City was built by Emperor Yang of Sui and was a city of China. This is unchangeable, and he can't do it without being too careless.

Ruizong said coldly: "Gesang, I will leave my words here today. If Tubo does not return the Stone Castle City to the Tang Dynasty, then we will see you on the battlefield!" Daxiu shook his sleeves and left quickly, leaving Gesang stunned.

As soon as the emperor left, Princess Taiping, Li Longji, Chen Wanrong, two princesses, as well as ministers and envoys followed. Gesang was stunned for a long time, and then he stomped his feet on the ground and followed.

As soon as Chen Wanrong and the others left, the people immediately rushed up and looked at the woods for a while. They were amazed and talked about it in a slight manner. The cannons are so powerful that there is nothing else to resist?

When it comes to being happy, I don’t know who was the first to shout long live. One person shouted, and everyone was harmonious. The sound of long live on the field was rising to the sky for a long time.

Among the crowd, there was an old scholar with a gray beard under his chin and a fan shaking from time to time. He had a lot of frown on his face, and he was in his fifties and sixties. He was no one else, but the leader of the Crescent Moon after disguise. He saw the scene in front of him, and an unaware smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The power of the cannon is so strong. As long as the cannon is obtained, Annan's affairs will be accomplished!"

The idea was made, and the leader of the Crescent Moon quickly left and went to deploy his plan.

At the Longwu Military Academy, a thousand artillery soldiers stood upright, covered with branches and leaves, and looked like tree people. The cannons around them also covered the branches and leaves. If you look from afar, you would never have imagined that they were extremely powerful artillery.

Ruizong and his party came with Chen Wanrong and strode. Geshuhan led the artillery to salute: "See the Emperor."

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Ruizong was in such a good mood today, it was the good mood brought to him by the artillery. When he saw the artillery, he naturally had great gratitude and couldn't help but wave his hands and smiled very kindly.

The more friendly the Ruizong was, the more important it was to the artillery. The artillery soldiers were all happy. If it weren't for the military rules, they would have been rushing to gather around Ruizong and talked about their family matters.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After the artillery salute, they stood up straight again.

Ruizong looked at these "treating people" with great interest and said with a smile: "Wanrong, is this how you hide?"

"Your Majesty, that's how it is!"

Ruizong frowned and couldn't think of it: "This method is good. If you are hiding there, the unknown person would never have thought it would be a powerful soldier from the Tang Dynasty. However, once the cannons were fired, your position would be exposed. I have been looking for a while but I didn't find you. How did you do it?"

"The emperor doesn't know that we are hiding in a relatively low place, so it's not easy to find out." Chen Wanrong answered truthfully.

Princess Taiping shook her head and said, "No! You are divided into two groups. Even if one group is hidden in a low place, what about the other? It's not that coincidental, both groups have good terrain."

"Princess is wise!" Ge Shuhan took the conversation and explained: "Princess, please see, these wooden boards have hidden us." He pointed at the wooden board beside him.

When Ruizong and the others looked, they saw that these wooden boards were not ordinary wooden boards, but were painted green wooden boards, and there were tenons on the wooden boards. Ruizong was very surprised and asked, "How to use this?"

Ge Shuhan made a move, and several artillery soldiers took off the line, worked hard to assemble the wooden boards and put them on the cannons. Then he put some branches, leaves and grass on the wooden boards, and the cannons disappeared.

"Miaomiaomiao!" Ruizong praised: "This is a good idea. Just hide there like this. As long as you don't get close, who knows it is a cannon? Whose idea?"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Back to the emperor, this is all Wang Zhongsi's idea."

"Wang Zhongsi? What's his intention?" Ruizong would not have thought that such a clever method was actually done by a young adult. He was so surprised that he almost dropped his eyes to the ground.

There were many people who held his idea, including Princess Taiping and Princess Jinxian. Princess Yuzhen looked at Wang Zhongsi in surprise, looking disbelief. However, the little adult stood quietly, as if nothing had happened.

Geshuhan explained in detail: "Emperor, after Wang Zhongsi selected the woods, we went to check it out. After coming back, Wang Zhongsi said that if the cannon is well hidden, it still needs some things. We asked him what he needed? He said that some wooden boards were enough. When he said that we agreed, we made a batch of them."

The little adult blinked his bright eyes and said calmly: "It's very ordinary, there's no need to be so surprised."

This idea is naturally very tight for him. For others, it is a very clever idea. Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Wang Zhongsi, do you have a very high vision? Come on, let me hug you."

Wang Zhongsi, a little adult, is indeed too adorable. Princess Taiping wants to tease him. However, Wang Zhongsi said seriously: "Princess, this is a military camp, so you must not get close to him!"

This is an excuse to reject Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping's face was a little uncomfortable, and her face sank, saying, "Wang Zhongsi, do you still need to remind me?"

"The princess's words and deeds hinder military rules. Wang Zhongsi has to remind him. Please forgive me." Wang Zhongsi replied seriously.

Princess Taiping was speechless for a moment and pointed at Wang Zhongsi. She had a heavy face at first, and then she laughed: "Wang Zhongsi, you are just stern at a young age. How about you grow up? Not bad, not bad, there is another good general in the Tang Dynasty, a good general who enforces the law like a mountain. It's rare, rare!"

Geshuhan and the others were also worried that Princess Taiping would use the excuse to deal with Wang Zhongsi. After hearing this, they couldn't help but feel relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Wanrong knew that Princess Taiping was quite arrogant and would never make things difficult for Wang Zhongsi for such a trivial matter.

Princess Taiping pointed at Wang Zhongsi and said, "Wang Zhongsi, you have to remember. When this matter is over, I will look for you."

Wang Zhongsi stretched out his tongue at Princess Taiping, his right eye flashed, and he looked naughty and immediately returned to normal, as if he was not naughty. Princess Taiping smiled and scolded: "Little devil!"

With the incident of Wang Zhongsi and Princess Taiping, the atmosphere suddenly became active, and the artillery soldiers were all happy. Then Ruizong gave a speech: "Soldiers: Today, you are very good! You are worthy of being the elite of the Tang Dynasty. You can use artillery. I feel so comforted! I am now giving an order, and each of you will be promoted to one title!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ruizong continued: "Now, I will reward you and give you wine and meat!"

This was expected, and the soldiers were very happy. When the wine and meat were distributed, Ruizong was in good mood. After checking, he said: "Wanrong, Brother Shuhan, Wang Zhongsi followed me to the palace. Thank you for your hard work in training artillery, I will reward you well."

Geshuhan hurriedly said, "The emperor surrendered, Geshuhan should not refuse. But, the emperor also needs people here. Geshuhan asked the emperor to be kind and let Geshuhan be with his brothers!"

Chen Wanrong was nominally an artillery general, but he was just doing some chores. Geshuhan was the actual commander of this army. It is indeed necessary for him to stay here for rewards now.

Ruizong thought for a while and said, "That's good! Then I'll reward you again next day."

Wang Zhongsi was unwilling to enter the palace, so he twisted his head and looked at Ruizong and said, "Emperor, Wang Zhongsi just practiced artillery with General Chen, and did not dare to express his merits, nor did he dare to receive the emperor's reward."

Chen Wanrong admired Wang Zhongsi very much, so he asked him to come, so that he could lay some foundation for him to facilitate his future military use. He had unexpected ideas from time to time, which was indeed of great help to the training of artillery, but it was not very right to say that he made great contributions.

This refusal is reasonable, and Ruizong was stunned and smiled and said, "Even you boy doesn't appreciate my affection!"

Wang Zhongsi said seriously: "Emperor, Wang Zhongsi really has no merits and dare not receive rewards, so he must not accept the emperor's love."

"Okay, okay, you're right!" Ruizong smiled and touched Wang Zhongsi's little head: "Wanrong, where are you?"

Chen Wanrong was forced to train artillery soldiers. It was too early to finish it, and he didn't take it seriously at all. However, Geshuhan and Wang Zhongsi did not go. If Chen Wanrong did not go, he would not give Ruizong a face. You must know that today is the happiest day in Ruizong's years. It is rare to have such a good mood. It is really bad to save face. Chen Wanrong had to say, "I will follow the emperor's orders."

"Okay! Let's go into the palace!" Ruizong was very satisfied with Chen Wanrong's answer.

Geshuhan and his team sent Ruizong and his party away until no one was seen before turning around and let go of food and drink with the soldiers.

When they arrived at the palace, there were not many people. Ruizong decided to celebrate in Luanxiang Pavilion. With an order, the eunuch quickly delivered the food and food. Ruizong sat in the main seat. The left head was Princess Taiping, the following head was Princess Jinxian, Princess Yuzhen. The right head was Li Longji, and the following head was Duan Hui, and Chen Wanrong was still sitting in the last seat as last time.

Ruizong picked up the wine and said with a smile: "My mood is so good today that I can't be any better, so I won't say much, come on, do it!"

Chen Wanrong and the others raised their glasses and drank them with them. Ruizong put down the wine glass, looked at Chen Wanrong, and asked, "Wanrong, you have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. What reward do you want? Gold, silver, jewelry, silk, satin, just say it."

When it comes to money, Chen Wanrong made a lot of money by doing chemical engineering, which was enough for him to live a rich life for the rest of his life, and he didn't care at all. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "The emperor has been rewarded, and it is the duty of his minister to contribute to the court. I dare not ask for rewards."

Without telling lies, Chen Wanrong made artillery to contribute to China's regaining lost lands, not to get rich.

Ruizong slapped his forehead and smiled and said, "I am confused! Wanrong has made a lot of money during this period. You are not greedy for money. I want to reward you with money, it is not the right way."

Chen Wanrong's thoughts changed: "If the emperor must reward you, I will ask for something, so please allow the emperor."

Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen remembered the last time Chen Wanrong was joking and asked them to take Chen Wanrong as their teacher. They couldn't help but feel very nervous and kept looking at Chen Wanrong.

"Tell me!" Ruizong was very happy.

Chen Wanrong expressed his thoughts: "Your Majesty, the reason why artillery can be made is because of chemical engineering. If there is no chemical engineering, I would not be able to make it. If I can have the equipment for use, I will make more chemical products, which is beneficial to the country and the people."

Li Longji asked: "Do you want the good craftsmen of the military weapon supervisor to help you make equipment?"

Chen Wanrong admitted: "The prince is wise, I think so. I think the artillery has been built and the artillery has been trained almost. I should do chemical engineering again. Oh, please ask the prince, I ask the prince to help me find the alum and graphite. I wonder if I have found it? If not, please tell the prince the location and go and pick it myself."

The gallbladder sail is to make sulfuric acid. Only with sulfuric acid can graphite be processed, graphite crucibles are made, and glass is made. The significance of glass is very important to chemical industry. Chen Wanrong has wanted to do it for a long time, but the cannon has been dragging it down. Now, the cannon can end. Chen Wanrong should devote himself to chemical industry and first of all, he should make glass.

"What are you anxious about? I will do what I promised you." Li Longji was slightly unhappy.

Princess Taiping also got involved: "Wanrong, do you think that the artillery is ready and the artillery is trained, and you will be fine?"

Chen Wanrong said honestly: "Princess, I have this idea. I have done what I can do. As for military affairs, I know nothing. If I stay in the army, it will be a mistake. It is better for me to retreat and let the talented people advance."

Ruizong kept wavering his hand: "Wanrong, don't be humble. You have trained artillery well, and I am very satisfied."

Chen Wanrong hurriedly corrected: "Your Majesty, this is all the merits of General Geshu, not the power of my ministers. If it weren't for General Geshu, I wouldn't have trained artillery to this extent anyway."

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Wanrong, you don't know military affairs, and you don't pretend to understand like others. Instead, you go out to invite Geshuhan, a capable man. This is rare. If you have this mind, you won't miss it! Brother, now the artillery has been trained, and it's time to end the battle in Shibao City. Brother, my sister thinks that Wanrong should be the military supervisor and lead the artillery to participate in the war!"

"Puff!" Chen Wanrong was drinking, and the wine in his mouth sprayed far away, making his face blush and his neck thick, and his chin hit the foot.
Chapter completed!
