Chapter 181 Taking over the Ordnance Supervisor
Chapter 181 Take over the Military Equipment Supervision
Princess Taiping was so excited that her eyes were not lingering around Jide Zuzan, as if Jide Zuzan was a magnet and his eyes were blocked with iron. After a while, Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Jide Zuzan, Jie Li offered a dance here in the past to thank Emperor Taizong for his grace of not killing. Today, the emperor surrendered to you and rewarded your house. Should you learn to learn Jie Li and dance a Tubo dance to help you liven up?"
Back then, after Jie Li Khan was taken to Chang'an, he experienced two very unpleasant things. One was that Emperor Taizong of Tang used him to "dedicate prisoners in the Taimiao", and the other was to dance Turkic dance to entertain him at a banquet held by Li Yuan. Offering prisoners in the Taimiao is a tradition of thousands of years. Although it is unacceptable, it can still be tolerated. It is just that the matter of dancing Turkic dance to entertain him is too unacceptable, but Jie Li Khan still had to do it.
Princess Taiping's words were even more unbearable than cutting flesh with a dull knife. With Jide Zuzan's unyielding personality, she could not bear it. She rolled her eyes and looked at Princess Taiping coldly.
Without talking, Princess Taiping looked at Jide Zuzan with a smile. Chen Wanrong and the others didn't speak, and they all made up an idea to see how long the stubborn donkey Jide Zuzan could last.
Time passed silently, no one said anything, the whole room was quiet, and the needle fell to hear it. Jide Zuzan finally made a move, and his eyes swept across the crowd, first Ruizong, then Li Longji, then the ministers, and finally stopped on Chen Wanrong.
However, no one showed any expression, as if it was wood. If there was an expression, it was Chen Wanrong and the others looking at Jide Zuzan with the eyes of looking at monkeys jumping around. In this case, no matter how powerful Jide Zuzan is, it is useless. After all, this is Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty. What can he do?
Slowly, Jide Zuzan's head lowered, and his pair of divine light-burning eyes gradually became turbid. Finally, he said mechanically: "The princess is happy, Jide Zuzan will jump for a while. If it doesn't get into the princess's eyes, please forgive me!"
People are under the short eaves and have to bow their heads. This is what they call it!
This was a great joy. Princess Taiping said in the form of a victorious person: "Call those ministers in Tubo, so that we can see what it looks like."
"Okay!" Her proposal won a lot of money.
With the order from Ruizong, Da Lu and the others brought it in. They were all dejected and their heads drooped, completely devoid of the magic of being domineering in the past, as if the eggplant was beaten by frost, wilted!
Tubo ministers gained high positions through hereditary status, not by their own talents and courage. How many of them have extraordinary courage? How many of them dare to show a little bit of aura on such occasions?
Seeing this scene, Ruizong couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Zuzan Jide, I just realized that these ministers of yours are not as good as ministers. Look at them, they are all trembling and pale. Such people are worthy of being ministers? I remembered a person who was the envoy you sent to Chang'an, named Gesang, who is more courageous than you ministers. It's a pity that he didn't have eyes and chopped my head."
Chen Wanrong almost forgot about Gesang, but after hearing Ruizong's words, he deeply agreed. Gesang could at least be fat in front of Ruizong and showed a little arrogant. The big statement about their wrecked dog looks disappointed at first sight.
"What the emperor taught!" Ji Dezuzan said mechanically.
"Jide Zuzan, you lead the dance, you all dance with you!" Ruizong issued an order.
Jide Zuzan responded in a stiff voice and led the Tubo ministers to dance the Tubo dance. Dalun looked trembling and even stood up was a problem. Where could he dance? On the contrary, Jide Zuzan was still in a good position. This was not because Jide Zuzan was scared by Jide Zuzan, but because he could still maintain his calmness.
"Is this your Tubo music and dance? Boys dance better than you! Are your legs and feet unflexible?" Princess Taiping said threateningly: "I have heard of a method to cure legs and feet. Anyone who has legs and feet inflexible will have good legs if they cut their bad legs and feet. Ask the sword and axe hand to come up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tubo ministers changed a lot. The original site became a problem. They stood firmly and became much more flexible in dancing and were quite sensible.
In this situation, it is not for the sake of appreciating the people who dance, but for the sake of seeing their disheartened face and having fun. The big talk about how they change so much that everyone can't help but laugh loudly. They laughed so hard that they turned back and forth, and they were all extremely happy.
Dou Huaizhen looked happy and imitated the actions of Tubo monarchs and ministers from time to time. He deliberately learned hard, which was tantamount to adding icing on the cake, and everyone burst into laughter.
Ruizong pointed at Dou Huaizhen and kept hilarious: "Dou Qing, you, you..."
Xiao Zhizhong was in a very good mood and suggested: "Your Majesty, I heard that a song circulating recently in Tubo is like this, "From the future, there will be no revenge, there will be business, and you will be happy and do your job, and you will not be taken away by Zanpu's population." The emperor asked them to sing."
This was sung by the Tubo people who welcomed the Tang army into Luoshe City. It was not only widely circulated in Tubo, but also spread in the Tang Dynasty and Chang'an. This song was an affirmation of the Tang army's advance this time. The Tang people were proud of it. How could they not spread it?
Ruizong slapped his forehead and nodded constantly and said, "Yes! Yes! I have heard of this. Zuzun Ji, you can sing it. Sing it louder!"
Jide Zuzan was shocked and at a loss. He asked him to sing a sarcastic song in person, which would be even more uncomfortable than killing him! But, is he a choice now? He was stunned for a while, and then he showed his voice and sang with his ministers.
Jide Zuzan was singing, and his heart was bleeding. He wanted to have a hole in the ground. He immediately crawled in, but he had no choice but to endure it!
"I really regret it. If I had known this, I would have been better off slapping my neck with a knife!" Ji De Zuzan regretted not committing suicide while he had the courage to commit suicide. Now, he no longer had the heroic spirit of the past, and he had no courage to raise a knife, let alone commit suicide.
The singing of the emperor and his ministers was indeed not very good, and they were out of tune and were not very pleasant. It was not that they did not understand the rhythm, but that they were scared and could not show their due standards. This was exactly what the emperor and his ministers of Ruizong were most happy to see, and they all admired with great interest.
After the song was sung, everyone was still in a state of interest and asked them to sing and dance again. The Tubo monarchs and ministers dared not refuse, so they had to respond. One song after another, and when everyone was over, it was already late at night, they each dispersed.
Chen Wanrong returned to Zheng Mansion with drunkenness, and saw that the Zheng Mansion was brightly lit. As soon as he entered the mansion, he welcomed Zheng Jianqiu and his wife, Chen Laoshi and his wife, Zheng Qing, Qing E, Sima Chengzhen and his disciples, Xiao Shangrong and others. What surprised Chen Wanrong the most was that Wang Han and Wu Daozi were there, and even Gaoming Tai and Ma Zhizhong rushed over.
Wang Han and Wu Daozi and Chen Wanrong had an extraordinary friendship. They were particularly happy when they saw Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong asked strangely: "Brother Wu, Brother Wang, why didn't you see you during the day today?"
"Brother Wu, let me tell me, Brother Chen will definitely blame us for not going to welcome him!" Wang Han did not answer the question, but instead spoke to Wu Daozi and made fun of Chen Wanrong.
Zheng Qing took over the conversation and said, "Brother Wu and Brother Wang have been visiting other places for a while. I heard that you have returned to the court, so I'm very excited."
So that's the case. Chen Wanrong suddenly realized and teased: "Brother Wang, just make fun of me, am I so cautious?"
Wu Daozi smiled so hard that his eyes were only a small crack: "Brother Chen, we still want to listen to you. Tonight, we will rely on you. If you don't listen to you, you won't give up!"
It was late at night now, and Wu Daozi and the others were all energetic, as if it was broad daylight now. Everyone agreed in unison: "Yes, you must listen to it!"
Zheng Qing blinked her beautiful eyes and said a little naughtyly: "We all know about the war. Brother Wu and Brother Wang, if you still want to hear it, then find time. What we want to hear now is the banquet tonight."
Wu Daozi and Wang Han came late. Chen Wanrong’s war was reposted by Zheng Jianqiu and others. How could Chen Wanrong listen to the beautiful words he said in person? Before he could speak, Sima Chengzhen smiled and said, “That’s right, it’s the most important thing to listen to the banquet.”
Everyone agreed and the matter was decided. Chen Wanrong had to tell them about the banquet tonight. The most funny thing made them. The happiest thing was that the king and his ministers praised him for their fun, just like Jie Li Khan of the past, and danced Tubo dance to cheer them up. What surprised them the most was that Chen Wanrong actually went to Lingyan Pavilion to see it.
In the eyes of the Tang people, Lingyan Pavilion was a very sacred place. Chen Wanrong not only went in to see her for a meal, but also led it by Ruizong himself. What a glory this is?
Of course, Chen Wanrong would not say anything about Ruizong's secret order.
It was said that Zheng Qing and the others were sleepy and then they rested. However, Wu Daozi, Wang Han would not let Chen Wanrong go, and squeezed into the same room with Chen Wanrong, and insisted on forcing Chen Wanrong to talk about the war. Chen Wanrong could only meet their requirements, and continued until Chen Wanrong fell asleep unknowingly. Wang Han and Wu Daozi were satisfied, and the three of them fell asleep.
The next day, Chen Wanrong woke up and saw Wu Daozi and Wang Han sleeping beside him. Chen Wanrong moved and they woke up. The first thing Wu Daozi said when he opened his eyes was: "Brother Chen, continue to tell the story. It's so beautiful. I'll give you a gift."
Wang Hanyuhan said threateningly: "Brother Chen, I didn't tell you. The gifts prepared by Brother Wu are definitely the best. If you don't say it nicely, don't think about it."
I haven't been joking with the two for a long time. Chen Wanrong was about to make fun of him, but Zheng Qing's voice came from outside the door: "Get up quickly, there are guests here!"
"It's not that you two colluded to deceive us, right?" Wang Han disagreed and thought that there was no such coincidence. They just said they wanted to listen to the story, so they came to disrupt the situation for Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing was a little funny and said angrily: "Brother Wang, don't guess it. Brother Geshu and his father are here, and Uncle Geshu kept saying that he wants to see you."
Brother Shu Daoyuan is here? What is he here to do? Chen Wanrong is a little confused and is busy putting on his clothes. Zheng Qing brought him a wash water and hurriedly cleansing his face and then went to see the guests.
As soon as we arrived at the living room, we saw Brother Shu Daoyuan and his son drinking tea. When we saw Chen Wanrong's face, Brother Shu Daoyuan said nothing, and knelt in front of Chen Wanrong with a loud voice, raised his throat and said, "Brother Shu Daoyuan thanks General Chen for his kindness!"
Chen Wanrong originally thought that he had something important to come early in the morning, but he wanted to kowtow as soon as he met. He was so surprised that he almost sat on the ground, quickly ran over, and helped him up: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Geshu Han Daoyuan insisted on kowtowing to Chen Wanrong and said, "General Chen, you know. The dog son used to know that Ren Xia was angry, and it was General Chen who summoned him into the army. Now, the emperor not only gave him the general to the town, but also asked him to sit in the seat of Li Ji. This is the great emperor's grace. If it were not for General Chen, the dog son would not have had such an encounter! General Chen, you must have received this."
Li Ji's life was legendary and had a very sacred status in the mind of the general Geshu Daoyuan. It would be a great honor to be able to sit in the seat he has sat on, or to be personally promised by Ruizong. This would be even more amazing. Without Chen Wanrong, Geshu Han was still just a knight now. How could he be the general of the town? How could he be such a glory?
Geshu Daoyuan's gratitude was sincere, but Chen Wanrong could not accept it, so he hurriedly advised: "Uncle, you are destroying your nephew! Uncle, do you know? Brother Geshu's battle has won praise from all generals. Brother Geshu has a bright future! Uncle, these are all the achievements made by Brother Geshu based on his ability. It is my honor to be able to get to know and interact with Brother Geshu!"
When Wu Daozi and Wang Han heard that Geshu Han was coming, they also came to meet each other. When they saw the two of them tugging like this, one wanted to kowtow, and the other refused to allow it, they couldn't help but feel a little funny and came over to persuade them. After much persuasion, they finally persuaded Geshu Daoyuan to stop.
The head was not done, Ge Shu Daoyuan could only hold his fists and thank him: "General Chen, Ge Shu Daoyuan has thanked me here!"
Look at his spirit, if Chen Wanrong doesn't accept it, I don't know how long it will take to make a fuss. Chen Wanrong had to return and say, "Uncle is so serious. Brother Brother Shu, you are here just in time. I'm just about to find you."
Brother Shuhan smiled and said, "Brother Chen, let me guess whether it is a matter of artillery? Brother Chen, the emperor is right. After returning from the war, what brothers think most is their family. Should they give them a few days off? Let them go home to visit their relatives."
Chen Wanrong's answer surprised Geshu Han: "Brother Geshu, if he was in a normal day, it would be fine to let them go for a month. No, we have to prepare for the war next year early. At that time, artillery will be indispensable, and we have to train artillery first."
"Brother Chen, it is important to expand artillery, but we don't fight for this time, it's time." Ge Shuhan disagreed with Chen Wanrong's words.
Of course, the real reason is that Chen Wanrong received the secret order of Ruizong and wanted to prepare for the sudden incident, but this cannot be said. Chen Wanrong dared not take the feeling of Ruizong lightly. The intuition of the powerful figures was unfounded and had no reason, but it was surprisingly accurate and surprisingly accurate.
Chen Wanrong knew a very famous story. During World War II, the British and American Allies were actively preparing to land and start the Second War. The Head of State accurately found the Allies' landing location, Normandy with amazing intuition. However, under the confusion of British and American false information, the German Command and the frontline commander did not take the head of state's intuition seriously.
This can be seen from the actions of the British and American Allies after the landing in Normandy. When the "Overlord" operation began, Rommel, the "Desert Fox" responsible for Normandy's defense, was not on the battlefield, but celebrated his wife Lucy's birthday in Paris, resulting in chaos in the German front-line command and was ridden by the Allies.
Although history does not have "if" and it still does not prevent us from assuming it. Assuming that when the Allies took action, Rommel did not leave the battlefield rashly, the German command was not chaotic, and the landing operations carried out by 160,000 Allies were likely to fail.
Ruizong was cautious for decades, and his intuition he had learned was very terrible. Chen Wanrong had to prepare early. As for the real intention, it was not that he could trust Geshu Han. It was not that he would give him the opportunity to know. Chen Wanrong had to find another reason: "Brother Geshu, you know that the scale of the war next year will be larger. The role of artillery is no longer just for attacking the tough situation like this time, but for use as an important military service. We have to do a lot of things, so we can do it safely as soon as possible."
Ge Shuhan naturally had nothing to say about this statement and hesitated for a while: "However, after such a big war, if the brothers do not go home to visit their relatives, the morale of the army may be unstable."
Chen Wanrong naturally understood the soldier's homesickness and said with a smile: "I have thought about this. We will train the artillery first, and then let the brothers go home in batches to see it. We will not miss the serious business, but also let the brothers fulfill their wishes. What do you think?"
This is a very good way to achieve both ends. Ge Shuhan naturally had no objection and nodded, "That's great! Brother Chen, then I'll go to Longwu Military Camp and start selecting artillery."
"Okay! You go to the Longwu Army camp, I go to the military weapon supervision, and learn about artillery by the way." Chen Wanrong agreed with this proposal very much.
Being decisive and decisive is the virtue of Geshuhan. He acted as soon as he said that, and stood up, said goodbye to Chen Wanrong, and headed straight to the Longwu Army camp. Geshu Daoyuan originally wanted to linger with Chen Wanrong, but Chen Wanrong was plagued by military affairs and had a lot of things, so he couldn't talk, so he had to say goodbye.
After seeing off Geshu Daoyuan, Chen Wanrong hurriedly used breakfast and rode his horse and took his men to the military weapon prison.
Chen Wanrong has been to the Military Weapon Prison many times, but today it is different. This is the first time he has arrived since taking over the Military Weapon Prison. This mood is completely different, and I can't help but feel a little nervous. "Master Ye, what will Master Kou and the others do when they see me?"
With this question, Chen Wanrong rushed to the Military Weapon Prison. The first person to find Chen Wanrong was Kou Yibing. When he saw Chen Wanrong's face, he shouted with excitement: "Go and call everyone out, General Chen is here! General Chen from our Military Weapon Prison is here!"
After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, did the military weapon supervision be issued? No!
Not to mention the century-old Tang Dynasty, even in history, there has never been a general who was a craftsman. How could he not be excited when he first saw Chen Wanrong, a general who came out of the military weapon supervision?
Not to mention, Chen Wanrong made such great contributions to this expedition, which was a matter of supreme glory. After Guan Yibing finished roaring, he ran over as if flying. He opened his arms to Chen Wanrong from afar and shouted, "General Chen, I want to die!"
Chen Wanrong respected Kou Yibing very much. He was very happy to see him. He hugged him with a bear hug, but he didn't stay on his shoulder and beat him with a smile, "Master Kou, I miss me so much!"
Kou Yibing was so excited that he kept saying, "General Chen, we miss you! Our military weapon surveillance has many happy events to tell you! We have made a lot of good things!"
Chapter completed!
