Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Yi Quwei smiled, and said playfully to Zhao Kuo: "Your Majesty won't think it's the queen sister who told you, the two sisters have already said that they are too old to stand your conquest, so let the young I don't know if your majesty is satisfied with the little girl who came to serve His Majesty?"

Feeling the bumpy body of the beauty in his arms, Zhao Kuo smiled slightly.

"Satisfied or dissatisfied, let's proceed from reality."

Soon, the hot pool seemed to be boiling, violently churning out splashes.

For Zhao Kuo, this is destined to be a long, exhausting and comfortable evening.

On the second day, Zhao Kuo was in good spirits and summoned his prince Zhao Qian.

He wanted to hear Zhao Qian's introduction to the changes in the Great Han Kingdom in the past six months.

Through this kind of introduction, Zhao Kuo can detect which things Zhao Qian paid more attention to in the past six months, and which other things he didn't pay too much attention to.

After listening to Zhao Qian's introduction, Zhao Kuo pondered for a while and spoke.

"You've done a good job, and I have a very important task for you next."

Zhao Qian hurriedly responded: "Father, please do as you please."

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "I have a prisoner. In the next few days, you should take him with you and take him around in our capital."

Chapter 1281 Let Zhao Qian take Ashoka to visit

Although he was a little surprised by Zhao Kuo's order, Zhao Qian was a very obedient child after all, and he obediently obeyed Zhao Kuo's order, but he was also a little curious in his heart, so he asked, "I don't know what father is doing?" Who is this person the emperor mentioned?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and suddenly sold a trick: "You will find out later."

Zhao Qian followed Zhao Kuo to the palace, a side hall that is not commonly used.

Before entering the film shop, Zhao Qian heard the sound of wooden fish knocking.

China in this era has nothing to do with Buddhism, so Zhao Qian didn't know why after listening to it, and he was a little curious, thinking that Zhao Kuo was going to take him to see someone who liked music.

Zhao Kuo walked into the hall and saw Ashoka.

Ashoka's expression was very calm, and he looked as if he was meditating with his eyes closed.

Zhao Kuo said to Ashoka: "When the master comes, you don't stand up to greet him. Isn't this a rude behavior?"

Ashoka opened his eyes and smiled slightly at Zhao Kuo: "Isn't it also a very rude behavior for the master to walk back and forth in his own palace without telling the guests?"

After Zhao Qian heard this sentence behind him, he was a little surprised.

He could tell that Ashoka was a person of another race, and at the same time he could hear that what Ashoka said was actually the elegant language of the Han Kingdom, although it was not too fluent.

Zhao Qian asked curiously: "Father, this is..." Zhao Kuo said with a smile, "My son, this is the emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, Ashoka."

Zhao Qian was taken aback, he never expected that the person his father wanted to accompany him was such a special captive.

But Zhao Qian is a man who has seen the world after all. He has been in prison for many years. After a few seconds, he reacted and bowed his hands to King Ashoka: "The prince of the Han Kingdom, Zhao Qian, has seen His Majesty."

Ashoka thought for a few seconds and asked, "What is a prince?"

Zhao Kuo said: "He is the son who will inherit my throne in the future."

King Ashoka looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise: "You are still so young, and you have already announced your heir?"

You must know that Ashoka is much older than Zhao Kuo, but he has not yet announced the heir to the throne.

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "The sooner the heir is announced, the smoother he will be able to take over the throne in the future."

Ashoka was noncommittal.

Zhao Kuo said to Zhao Qian: "Go ahead, take him to visit the factories of the Dahan Guo Weapons Group, in addition to the things that are being developed, all the weapons that have been applied can be displayed.

Then, if he wants to see other places, you can also take him there. "

Zhao Qian hurriedly agreed, and then cupped his hands towards King Ashoka: "Your Majesty, please come with me."

Ashoka stared at Zhao Qian for a few seconds, and then expressed emotion: "You talk like that, which makes me wonder if I'm still a prisoner."

Zhao Kuo laughed when he heard this sentence from the side: "It was before, but when you step into the imperial capital, you will be a guest of our Great Han Kingdom."

Without permission, guests who cannot leave the imperial capital for a lifetime.

Ashoka stood up and bowed to Zhao Qianji: "Prince, please."

A moment later, Zhao Kuo stood outside the main hall, watching Ashoka and Zhao Qian leave in a carriage.

Mao Sui quietly appeared and said to Zhao Kuo, "Your Majesty, someone has been sent to secretly protect the prince."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said nothing.

Mao Sui hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, that man is a talented emperor after all. I am worried that he will take this opportunity to influence the crown prince."

Ashoka is one of the top three emperors in Indian history, and the Maurya Dynasty is also the largest feudal empire besides the Mughal Empire. All of these were created by Ashoka. It is very appropriate to evaluate him with his talents.

Ashoka's real unlucky thing is that he met Zhao Kuo, a bug-like traveler, which is equivalent to high-dimensional hanging and low-dimensional, and there is really no way.

An emperor like this does have the ability to use words to change others invisibly.

Considering that the Great Han Kingdom hated Ashoka for subjugation, Mao Sui's worry was not unreasonable.

After hearing these words, Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "I have actually considered what you said.

However, we must have confidence in Qianer.

He will be the ruler of countless Han kingdoms in the future. If he can't even overcome this little difficulty, how can he be the emperor of the Han kingdom? "

This is actually Zhao Kuo's test for Zhao Qian!Zhao Qian took Ashoka to the No. [-] Factory of the Han Kingdom Arms Group.

With the passage of so many years, the Dahan Kingdom Arms Group has already developed into a very large company group. The military factories alone have set up hundreds of factories all over the Dahan Kingdom, and the farthest one is located thousands of miles away. In the city of Alexandria to the west.

Being able to become the first factory of the Dahan Kingdom Arms Group, this factory is undoubtedly the most powerful, and it is also the earliest weapons factory established in the Dahan Kingdom.

After hearing the news of the prince's arrival, all the great craftsmen and management officials of the factory immediately came out to greet him.

Zhao Qian smiled and exchanged pleasantries with these great craftsmen and management officials, and then said: "Today, my father asked me to bring a guest here to see the latest weapons from our Dahan Kingdom weapons factory.

By the way, those who are confidential and under research will not be read. "

After listening to these words, the eyes of the great craftsmen and officials immediately fell on King Ashoka, showing curious expressions.

Of course they didn't know Ashoka's identity, but it was surprising enough that the prince could accompany him to observe the latest weapons of the Han Kingdom.

The great craftsman coughed and said: "Then please Your Highness and this honored guest come with this old man."

The great craftsman led the way, and Ashoka and Zhao Qian walked side by side.

Ashoka said slowly: "This subject of yours doesn't seem to respect you very much."

Zhao Qian blinked and said with a smile: "You are wrong, I respect him very much."

Ashoka was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is he a living Buddha?"

Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "No, he is the best craftsman here."

"artisan?"

Now Ashoka was really surprised: "You are a prince, and you want to respect a craftsman?"

Zhao Qian looked at the surprised King Ashoka and smiled, "In fact, the person who respects these craftsmen the most is my father."

Ashoka was speechless.

Chapter 1282 The shock brought by the weapons factory

Ashoka is undoubtedly a talented and generous emperor, but even an emperor has his own limitations.

For example, King Ashoka never felt that a craftsman could be entitled to the respect of the prince or even the emperor.

This kind of thing itself has broken through Ashoka's three views, and he couldn't help but say: "As an emperor, we should agree with all the people from above, instead of greeting them with a pleasant face. Your majesty, if an emperor does not have majesty, it is very dangerous."

Although Zhao Qian was still the prince, for King Ashoka, Zhao Qian can actually be regarded as a person who is about to become an emperor, and he can be regarded as his kind.

After hearing Ashoka's words, Zhao Qian smiled and did not refute, but said seriously to Ashoka: "Maybe you can change your perception after a while."

After a while, the two walked and came to the back of the factory.

The master craftsman introduced to Zhao Qian respectfully: "His Royal Highness, this is our explosion test site."

Zhao Qian nodded, and said impatiently, "Take out your new weapons and show this senior beside me a good look."

Ashoka watched this scene with his hands folded, his expression seemed to say, let's see what good things you can come up with.

Ashoka actually understood Zhao Kuo's thoughts very well. After all, he was a man who had been emperor for most of his life.

King Ashoka didn't mind accepting Zhao Kuo's challenge. If Zhao Kuo's successor was really not that good, King Ashoka would also take Zhao Qian astray without hesitation.

Of course, the great craftsman didn't know the infighting behind this, but, the great craftsman had already heard what Ashoka said to Zhao Qian, so he readily agreed, and quickly took out a piece of paper from the side. thing.

"Please look, Your Highness, this is the latest explosive we have developed.

By the way, His Majesty also gave it a name called TNT. "

Zhao Qian looked at the TNT explosive in the hands of the master craftsman, and his face was also a little puzzled. After all, it is not a professional, so he obviously lacks understanding of the performance of this explosive.

The great craftsman chuckled, and took the TNT explosive in his hand to a hillside not far away, where there was a huge stone that was as tall as a person, and it seemed to weigh at least a thousand catties.

"Does Your Highness think that the explosives in my hand can blow up this stone?"

Zhao Qian was a little hesitant. Although he also knew the meaning behind what the great craftsman said, but according to Zhao Qian's understanding of this, such a small amount of explosives seems not enough to blow up the 1000-jin stone.

At this moment, Ashoka, who was standing behind Zhao Qian, spoke calmly.

"It's completely impossible, it's nonsense."

Ashoka even used an idiom.

The great craftsman frowned suddenly, and his expression didn't look so good.

"Does the guest not trust the old man?"

Ashoka nodded bluntly.

"I've seen your explosives before. It can't be so powerful, at least it's impossible for this explosive."

The great craftsman laughed, with a mocking expression on his face.

"Then today, the honored guests are likely to be disappointed."

At the request of the great craftsman, Zhao Qian and Ashoka walked hundreds of meters away.

There is a house there, and the protection in the house is very tight, only two small holes are exposed as a lookout to the outside.

Ashoka couldn't help but complain.

"I think his confidence is a little too high."

Zhao Qian did not speak, he watched the great craftsman outside through the lookout hole, and found that the great craftsman was lighting the fuse.

After igniting the fuze, the craftsman ran towards the house without looking back.

A few seconds after the big craftsman ran into the house, a loud noise suddenly appeared, and the ground under his feet shook suddenly, and then many dense stones hit the house, and the crackling sound was very scary.

Ashoka was obviously taken aback by this sudden sight.

The great craftsman laughed, as if he was a triumphant general.

"You two, please go out with the old man to have a look."

Walking out of the house, Ashoka stared at the place where the big stone was still not far away, speechless.

The big rock just now has completely lost its trace. Simply put, it was blown up and rotted, and there is a piece of rubble around it.

Ashoka was silent for a long time, and said, "When was such a weapon made?"

The master craftsman glanced at Zhao Qian, and after getting Zhao Qian's affirmative gesture, he replied with some pride: "This explosive is actually a finished product a year ago.

It's just that we have just controlled it to be relatively stable, and it should be able to be deployed in the army after a year.

The development of the next generation of explosives is also in progress. It is hard to say what progress has been made yet, and it may be available in about five or six years. "

Ashoka was even more surprised now: "Is there a next generation?"

The master craftsman almost moved his chin to the sky: "Of course there will be the next generation, and there will be the next generation, the next generation."

After Ashoka listened to these words, he was really completely speechless.

Next, the master craftsman took out the latest muskets, as well as the latest mines that have just been developed and can be used for large-scale military use.

Accompanied by the demonstration of these things one after another, the inexplicable and unclear emotion in Ashoka's heart has completely dissipated at some point.
