I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

It was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. When going down the mountain, Xue Yuan respectfully and actively protected Gu Yuanbai down the mountain. Occasionally, the ground was uneven, and he even took Gu Yuanbai's hand and brought him down steadily.

Although Xue Yuan was injured, he was still very strong, and he was very familiar with it in the mountains and jungles.Although the chief guard didn't like him, but he saw that he was so safe, so he stayed behind the Holy Master to prevent accidents.

In fact, Xue Yuan's mood is improving rapidly.

He doesn't like men, but it's not that he doesn't know how to enjoy them.The little emperor's hands were soft and white. In this April weather, Xue Yuan's head and body were steaming, and the shady place between the jungles did not make him feel comfortable, but the little emperor's hands were as cold as jade, Hold it to cool off the heat.

When he held the little emperor's hand, his flesh was so soft that he could slip between his fingers, and he really became addicted to it.

More than half of the evil spirit and hostility that had been suppressed in his heart dissipated. Sure enough, the little emperor made him uncomfortable, and finally he had to get comfortable on the little emperor.

Gu Yuan Baitie was straight to a man, and he didn't notice this problem at all.After going down the mountain, he got into the carriage, only then did he realize that his hands were already red from being held.

Gu Yuanbai sighed, it was just like that after being supported, he really didn't have any masculinity at all.

The palace attendant cleaned his hands for him, and the carriage had been replaced with a new one, layers of cushions were spread under his body, Gu Yuanbai felt a little drowsy with the shaking.

When he woke up, the carriage had already entered the palace.

Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes and calmed down, Tian Fusheng's question came from outside the carriage: "Is the Holy Majesty asleep?"

The person who answered also lowered his voice and said: "Sleep, Your Majesty is tired today."

There was no sound outside after a while, Gu Yuanbai supported his head, but still felt sleepy, the incense on his nose was strong and heavy, this fragrance made people lazy and tired.He took a long breath, and was about to squint for a while, when the curtain in front of him was lifted suddenly.

Gu Yuanbai said lazily: "Who?"

Tian Fusheng said cautiously: "My lord, the people from the engineering department sent the newly developed and improved crossbow and agricultural tools."

Gu Yuanbai opened his eyes suddenly, his smile gradually widened, and he said loudly: "Take me to see it!"

The Holy One walked towards the palace briskly, followed by a group of people.When he walked outside the palace, Gu Yuanbai saw Chu Wei and the official historian who were waiting at the side for the first time. Gu Yuanbai suddenly realized at this time, remembering that the holiday of the new division Jinshi is over, it should be on duty.

Chu Wei was the number one scholar in the new discipline, and he was given the official title to compile and write for the Imperial Academy.The Hanlin Academy’s compiling was a sixth-rank official position, and its main responsibilities were to master the history of the country, master the actual records, record the words and deeds of the emperor, lecture on the history of scriptures, and draft manuscripts related to ceremonies①.

It is not surprising that Chu Wei is here, but it is strange that he can come to Gu Yuanbai as soon as he takes office.

Gu Yuanbai took a hasty glance and stopped thinking about it, but looked at the two officials from the Engineering Department, Xu Ning was among them, they saw the Holy Majesty walking in, they hurriedly greeted him and bowed to salute.

Gu Yuanbai helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "I heard that the engineering department has come up with new things."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "My lord, these are military weapons and farming tools."

In just a short period of more than ten days, Xu Ning seemed to have changed a lot.He looks a little fatter, and the food in the engineering department is very nourishing.In addition to the flesh on his face, the biggest change in Xu Ning's face is the expression on his face. He looks very energetic and motivated, a kind of satisfied and energetic spirit. This change made Gu Yuan The emperor Bai looked extremely satisfied and relieved.

"Okay," Gu Yuanbai said with a smile, "let me see what it is."

The courtier handed over the crossbow, and Gu Yuanbai put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.Bows and arrows are fired by humans, but crossbows are fired by machines. Humans only need to be responsible for aiming.The advantage of the crossbow is that it has a long range and great strength, and it will not burden people's physical strength, but it is troublesome and time-consuming to wind small pieces, so it is not very practical on the battlefield.

The most powerful crossbow, that is, the king of crossbows that appeared in the Southern and Northern Dynasties—the bed crossbow. The bed crossbow is a big thing, also called "continuous crossbow". The bed crossbow is powerful and has a long range, and can launch large-scale arrows at the same time , Gu Yuanbai remembers that the bed crossbow is a good thing for siege. In the Song Dynasty, the technology reached its peak, and it seems that the range has exceeded 1.5 kilometers②.

But although the bed crossbow is good, sometimes it is not as good as the small crossbow in his hand.

The crossbow improved by the engineering department was different from the broken one in Xu Ning's hands.It should be that the material was changed and improved. There are three short and thick arrows installed on the top. Gu Yuanbai made a rough comparison and found that the length of the arrows is only 6~8 cm.

Although the arrow is small, it does not mean that this thing has low lethality. In the short range, this thing is more powerful than the long arrow.

There was also an unidentifiable object installed at the bottom of the crossbow. Xu Ning stepped forward and broke the object. It turned out that there were neatly arranged short arrows inside.

Xu Ning smiled ashamedly and said, "I have tried many styles, and this is the most convenient way, but it can only hold fifty crossbow bolts."

"Fifty?" Some of the civil servants on the side gasped, "If fifty arrows hit, wouldn't that mean fifty lives?"

"How can it be so accurate," another minister of the engineering department replied, "If only five of the fifty can hit the enemy, then it is a useful small crossbow."

Gu Yuanbai looked at it for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He tilted his head and told the palace servant: "Go to the Yamen and invite the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of War to come over."

The palace servants left at the sound, but after a while, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry rushed over without touching the ground.

Gu Yuanbai looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and laughed, "Why did you follow here?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry leaned forward and saluted with a shy old face, "I heard that the Engineering Department has made something good again, so I came here specially to have a look."

When the Ministry of Engineering was first established, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was actually the most uncomfortable. Isn’t the Ministry of Engineering the Ministry of Industry?Does the emperor mean that he intends to create two Ministry of Industry?

During that time, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry did not eat well and slept well. Afterwards, the Holy One took Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry around the Engineering Department, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry understood.

The engineering department is very different from the engineering department. One is broad and miscellaneous, researching on specific things, and the other is brainstorming, doing whatever you want, and not needing to deal with official affairs and interpersonal relationships. It is a pure research department.The Ministry of Engineering did not divide the powers of the Ministry of Industry. After that, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry did not get entangled, and he was still in high spirits every time he watched the play.

Seeing that everyone was here, Gu Yuanbai handed the crossbow to the guards on the side.The guard took a step forward and pulled the crossbow towards the open place in the distance, only to hear the sound of "swish" breaking through the air, and three arrows flew towards the distance.

The three holes can be fired in volley or one by one. When the arrows hit the ground, Gu Yuanbai couldn't help but take a step forward. The minister of the Ministry of War next to him was shocked, "It's more than two hundred steps!"

Just measuring it with Gu Yuanbai's eyes, it feels like it's about 100 meters away.

Minister of the Ministry of War looked eagerly at the person who was going to measure the distance, and murmured: "In the past, the Zhuge crossbow could fire ten arrows in a row, and its firepower was strong. It's a pity that it is too heavy, so it can only be used for defense. I have a bed crossbow in the past. The only thing missing is a handy crossbow like this."

The Minister of the Ministry of War said: "The range of this crossbow is still so far, three shots in a row, it seems to be very powerful!"

Everyone was overjoyed, especially the people from the Ministry of War, who had already started to ask the people from the Engineering Department whether the crossbow could be mass-produced.

The smile on Gu Yuanbai's face couldn't be concealed, he was already radiant when he didn't smile on weekdays, but now the smile didn't stop.Chu Wei recorded the words and deeds of the Holy Majesty, and stared at the Holy Majesty from time to time, watching, and the pen in his hand stopped involuntarily.

The historian beside him was also remembering the appearance of the crossbow, and said: "The person who can research such a sharp weapon must be famous in history."

Chu Wei came back to his senses, and let out a low "hmm". He hated his own reaction, and he obviously didn't like others to look at him, but now he was looking at the Holy One, but he was in a daze.

He doesn't like men, he is not as good as Long Yang, no matter how good-looking the Holy Majesty is, he is just a skin.If he couldn't look away because of His Majesty's face, then Chu Wei himself had a good skin, and he had never looked at the gods in the bronze mirror.

Chu Wei couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't keep looking at the Holy Majesty.But when he raised his head again, he saw the unkind-eyed person sitting next to Chang Yuyan on the day when the test results were released.

Chu Wei frowned slightly.

Xue Yuan was looking at the crossbow at first, but his casual attitude at first gradually became serious. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the little emperor over there had already held the hands of two engineering ministers and kept praising him.

Xue Yuan's smile stopped and his eyes turned cold.

He can fight and lead troops, and he is not afraid of killing and bloodshed. It really depends on his military merits, which are so high that it can make people jaw-dropping.It was precisely because he was too popular and his military achievements were too high that General Xue wanted to suppress him, for fear that his military achievements at such a young age would arouse the scruples of the Holy Majesty.

It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a natural genius, but for him like this, the little emperor has never treated him kindly, but he was so nice to these two helpless scholars.

He was punished so badly that he had to figure out a way to feel comfortable with the little emperor's hand.But for these two people, the little emperor himself took the initiative to give them away.

Ha ha.

After looking at the farm tools, Gu Yuanbai happily gave the reward.The engineering department actually figured out the seedlings. Today's spring sowing may not be able to be mass-produced, but when the rice matures, it should be able to be used.

Gu Yuanbai gave the farm tools to Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and asked him to lead someone to contact the Ministry of Engineering.The two adults from the Ministry of War directly retreated with Xu Ning and the two, and they wanted to ask some more questions.

Encountering such a great gift as soon as he returned to the palace, Gu Yuanbai felt that it was more enjoyable than climbing a mountain and blowing a breeze. He returned to the Xuanzheng Hall with a smile on his face, handling government affairs is also a style of writing, Chu Wei stood aside, and inadvertently went to the memorial When I saw it, I saw the four characters of "full of nonsense" appear on the memorial with a wave of the holy majesty's vermilion pen.

Chu Wei was slightly taken aback, and then felt a little funny.

It is estimated that the courtier who was criticized by the emperor as "full of nonsense" received the memorial and was about to be so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Chu Wei dutifully recorded the words and deeds of the Holy Majesty, and there were rules in this job, and the courtiers had to know what could be remembered and what could not.The good side of the Holy Spirit should be praised, and the rest is free to testify.

In a good mood, Gu Yuanbai reviewed the memorial very quickly. By the time he finished reviewing the government affairs in one go, it was not time for dinner.

Gu Yuanbai then asked Chu Wei: "Chu Qing, did your father send a letter home?"

Chu Wei was taken aback, closed the pen and paper in his hand, and respectfully saluted Gu Yuanbai: "My father never sent a single word."

Gu Yuanbai sighed, and said, "It seems that the affairs in the Yellow River area should be very busy."

Chu Wei opened his mouth, and in the end he only said firmly: "It's my father's luck to be able to share the worries of the Holy One."

Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, and jokingly said: "Chu Qing doesn't think it's a good thing that my family hasn't seen each other for two months."

When Chu Wei heard this, the corners of his lips curled up, and a slight smile appeared on his handsome and unparalleled face.

His appearance can be compared to that of a man, when he is not smiling, he is like the light of the sun and the moon, and when he is smiling, he is even more like Pan Anweijie.Seeing his appearance, Gu Yuanbai glanced at Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan's appearance was also sharp and handsome, and his evil words were beyond words. Standing together, regardless of gender, they could be regarded as a match made in heaven.

Xue Yuan saw His Majesty glanced at him, and was about to raise his lips, but before the fake smile came out, His Majesty looked away.

Xue Yuan: "..."

He narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled coldly.

This is because you don't want to see him?

Someone outside said suddenly: "Report to the Holy Majesty, and Prince He sent someone to send a bloody horse."

"Oh?" Gu Yuanbai stood up interested, and walked outside the hall, "Where is it? I'll go and have a look."

In the ancient environment where there were few entertainment activities, BMW was chased by the rich and powerful just like modern luxury cars.There are also many good horses in the palace, but because Gu Yuanbai has never expressed his pursuit of good horses, there are really no sweat horses in the palace.

Outside the hall, there are a few people who are struggling to lead a handsome and mighty tall horse. This horse has a beautiful body, slender limbs, a high head and a thin neck, and it is very pleasing to look at.

Before Gu Yuanbai walked in, he was stopped by other people, and he said anxiously: "My lord, this horse is wild and unruly. Anyone who gets close to it will struggle fiercely. Please stay away!"

Gu Yuanbai stopped, looked at the fine horse from a distance, with a regretful expression.

I heard that the term "sweat-blooded BMW" is because the skin of the sweat-blooded BMW is very thin, and you can see the blood flowing under the skin when running.And because there are many sweat glands, the sweat that flows out when running will soak the brown-red fur, forming a color like fresh blood.

Gu Yuanbai was so greedy that he really wanted to get on the horse and ride such a BMW.He himself is adventurous, and if he is still healthy, he will try to conquer even if he is thrown.However, the little emperor's body was too weak, so he could only keep a safe distance and stare at the BMW.

The Holy Majesty, who had just been crowned, now had the vigor of a young man on his expression.

Suddenly, a person bypassed Gu Yuanbai and walked towards the surrounded BMW.Gu Yuanbai took a closer look, and it turned out to be Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan pulled away the people who prevented him from approaching, and after a few strides, he walked to the side of the sweat-blooded BMW. The sweat-blooded BMW seemed to sense the danger, and hissed several times towards Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan rolled up his sleeves slowly, there were still wounds on his arm that were dragged by the emperor in the morning, but the stretched strong muscles made these wounds look like a piece of cake.

When he was ready, Xue Yuan threw the saber on his body aside, stepped back a few steps and blew a loud whistle towards the sweaty BMW. The sweaty BMW fixed its gaze on him and was firmly attracted by Xue Yuan. line of sight.

Xue Yuan grinned, and then ran violently, a few steps to the side of the sweaty horse, and then suddenly turned on the horse!

Gu Yuanbai stared closely at Xue Yuan who was lying on the struggling sweaty BMW.

The tall man's arms were very strong, wrapping around the horse's neck, his legs were tense and tightly closed.Untamed horses and unruly people, no one obeys the other, one is more ruthless than the other.

In the contest of strength and strength, the steed struggled so frighteningly that it kept leaning back to a terrible angle. No one around dared to approach, but Xue Yuan did.

He put the reins on the steed, and the steed kept breaking free and ran forward suddenly. Xue Yuan fell to the ground hard and was dragged for a while. BMW's back.

"I won't convince you today," Xue Yuan grabbed the rein, so hard that the horse's head was raised by him, "I don't need to go to the battlefield!"
