Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 441
East Palace.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes, listening to the soft silk and bamboo played by the musician, chiming the rhythm of the bell, it was very pleasant.

The news of Li Xian's departure from the mansion had already been spread, and for Li Chengqian, it was mostly reluctance and regret.

However, after Wen Lao took over the firearms battalion, he invisibly added a decisive weight to his position as the crown prince, which is really gratifying.

on the main hall.

Yingying Yanyan's singer waved her long sleeves and twirled lightly, twisting her beautiful dancing posture, and occasionally looking back at the melody, her indescribable charm attracted a lot of applause.

During the banquet, there was a staggering of toasts, and amidst the sound of drinking orders, Elder Wen refused the wine glasses offered by his colleagues beside him, opened his eyes, and looked at Li Chengqian, who was the first in the hall, chatting with everyone, chatting and drinking happily, feeling particularly uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, he himself was just being troubled by old-fashioned ideas. He saw Li Xian becoming stronger and bigger in the firearms camp, and he just wanted to take part in it. One's own name is not a relationship of enemies that can accommodate two tigers in the eyes of others.

But now that he was promoted to this position, after two days of guarding the glory of the imperial forest army, troubles followed one after another.

First of all, not to mention the formula of this gunpowder, Li Xian did not keep it. The ratio of various specific raw materials has become a puzzle, that is, which of these raw materials are useful and which are just deceptive, and it has not been distinguished until now. .

There are also some illegal shaking thunders that I have issued orders before, and I have also messed up by myself, and I can't start with just dismantling them.

Among today's workshops, some of them have stopped production because there is no detailed ratio, and even some craftsmen have gone on strike without Li Xian's care.

Even though the swords of the royal guards threatened to keep some craftsmen from leaving, Wen Lao knew that these craftsmen could not be restrained for too long in such a day.

After all, with the time set by His Majesty, the time for firearms verification will be half a month away. If you can't make a decent thunder, let alone Mr. Wen, even these craftsmen will be punished. The head on the top will fall to the ground at any time.

Previously, Elder Wen also suggested that Li Chengqian recruit new talents, but they were all rejected mercilessly!
How could Li Chengqian, who was worried about the position of the crown prince, let go of such a terrifying military weapon that he could produce under his command!

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Wen Lao still let go of his sleeves, got up and walked to the first place.

"His Royal Highness."

Just as the worried voice came out, all the surroundings fell silent. The concubine who brought the wine glass to Li Chengqian's lips retracted her arms resentfully, and looked over complainingly.

Li Chengqian was drunk when he suddenly interrupted him, feeling displeased, and looked over with a slight frown.

"Old Wen."

"The firearms battalion is a major military issue, and you have been in the Ministry of Industry for several years. No one knows more about tool production than you, and you don't have to think that you can make decisions for you."

"If it's still those words that suggest that Gu go to the emperor and all the officials, you can write a letter to persuade yourself, and you don't have to speak to Gu."

One sentence completely blocked Wen Lao's future.

Gritting his teeth tightly, Elder Wen felt Li Chengqian's anger, so he still spoke out.

"His Royal Highness, it is precisely because of the military affairs that Wenmou dare not be careless."

"At present, the workshop is almost at a standstill, and there are many complaints. In addition, the deadline given by His Majesty is approaching, and many craftsmen are fluctuating. Seeing that the conflict with the imperial guards who maintain stability is becoming more and more intense, Wen Mou insists on this matter. Tell me!"

"Zhen Guo's sharp weapon has a lot to do with it, but Wen can't take it down!"

Today is Li Chengqian's banquet for all the ministers, and he has informed Li Shimin in advance, so all the veterans and literati guests who have a good relationship with each other usually come.

Hearing what Wen Lao said this time, Li Yuanchang, the regular servant of Sanqi, frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes.

"Old Wen, it is said that you are brave after drinking, why are you shivering after drinking the wine?"

"Looking at the entire Datang Ministry of Industry, you are the one with the oldest qualifications and the broadest vision. There are countless strange people under the sect. Why can't you even manage the firearms business left by Li Xian? It's a ready-made thing!"

"Furthermore, you and Li Xian were in contact with each other when they were making horseshoes. Could it be that the relationship is still intact and you still feel guilty about his leaving the mansion? So you want to use this as a pure land for his court?"

When mentioning these old things, Wen Lao didn't know where to start for a while, and sighed in his heart.

"The old man and Li Xian did have some friendship in the past, but there was absolutely no..."

Glancing at Li Chengqian's frosty face, Elder Wen suddenly lost the desire to continue explaining, changed the topic and bowed his hands.

"His Royal Highness, the old man is too old to drink."

"I also hope that His Royal Highness will allow the old minister to leave the meeting early and return to the residence to recuperate, so I will take my leave first."

"allow!"

Li Chengqian watched Xiao Yu's back and walked out of the palace gate, recalling some words from these days, an inexplicable anger rose in his heart.

If it wasn't for the fact that Wen Lao could be regarded as half of his teacher, he would definitely scold him on the spot for running away halfway!
"On this boat, we just want to share joys and sorrows!"

"I want to escape, but there is no way!"

Thinking of this in his heart, he turned to put a smile on his face, and waved his sleeves to greet the cold banquet.

"Vocal again!"

"Everyone, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"

The majestic sound of chime bells came out, and the silk and bamboo played in the next moment. The concubine beside her pinched the orchid with her hands, twisted the cup and passed the wine to the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth, and with a flattering smile, she brushed Li Chengqian's face charmingly.

"Why does His Royal Highness need to be as knowledgeable as that old man? When he is older, his head is also showing off, and it is really a bit silly to think about the problem."

"Now as long as he can hold the entire firearms battalion in his hands, it will be a powerful tool for His Royal Highness to compete for the crown prince..."

"No, the concubine made a mistake, it is to keep the position of the crown prince."

Hahaha.

Li Chengqian bowed his head, printed his delicate vermilion lips, poured the wine from his mouth into the concubine's vermilion lips, pinched her chin, and said with a smile.

"This speech, Gu, loves to hear it."

The jade face in his hand rose up, and he scolded coquettishly, which made all the guests laugh.

"It's Concubine Kong who has vision. Li Xian is just a pawn. It's a great gift to have some reputation in the imperial city. It's too early to fight with us old officials."

"Hey! It's a good thing to retreat in the face of difficulties. It's really gratifying for this kid to be so enlightened. Right now, it's time for the Prince's Palace to enjoy the scenery!"

"Look at what you said, it seems like Li Xian can suppress the glory of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In the end, a minister is a minister after all, and a king is a king after all. I always think about my brilliance, who do I think I am? The Jade Emperor? Or save all sentient beings? Lord Buddha?"

"I don't know if it's the Lord of Buddha, but this god is an excuse Li Xian made for himself. Then why travel with the gods in the mountains and rivers, and lead the gods to descend the gods and thunder? Isn't it amazing? Now it's not like it's soaring on weekdays. Riding a donkey? Hahaha."

"The Firearms Battalion has been taken over, there is nothing to be proud of..."
