There are always bad guys who want to attack me

While Taiping was silently thinking about He Shi and Bao'er in his heart, in the distant palace, He Shi was playing with Bao'er.

Ever since Taiping left, He Shi has been in a bad mood.Gao Zixin was afraid that she would get sick if she continued like this, so he had no choice but to donate his precious son.

So from then on, Bao'er lived with the He family.After all, He Shi is a woman, unlike Gao Zixin, her body is soft when she thinks about it, so Bao'er, a little heartless little girl, after experiencing the initial discomfort, she especially likes to cling to He Shi's arms and directly kisses her. Dad was left behind.

Every time Gao Zixin came to see him, seeing that he was always clinging to He Shi, and he didn't like being clinging to himself anymore, his heart felt sour.As soon as he felt sour, he liked to scratch Bao'er's chubby feet with his fingers, which made Bao'er keep hiding, and finally yelled "Wow" at him in anger, and even He Shi reprimanded him severely in dissatisfaction. After a pause, Gao Zixin finally calmed down unwillingly.

It's just that although He Shi is accompanied by Bao'er, he still can't help but think of Taiping in his heart.

Bao'er and Gao Zixin looked so much alike when they were young. When He Shi saw him, he felt as if he had traveled back to the time when Gao Zixin was just born.

At that time, she was also like now, holding the little Gao Zixin in her arms all day long, and even breastfeeding, she didn't dare to give her hands to others, for fear of accidentally making a mess.

The situation in the harem at that time was complicated, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was in dire straits, but it was not as simple as it is now.Although she was the successor at that time, she didn't have much power in her hands, so she had to be extra careful with everything she ate, or she might lose her life if she was not careful.

She still remembered that just before she gave birth to Gao Zixin, a concubine in the palace also gave birth to a prince.But it was precisely because she gave birth to the prince that she got carried away with complacency. As a result, she was accidentally plotted against and succeeded. The little prince was infected with smallpox and died. Even she herself went crazy after being quarantined.

This incident happened not long after He Shi entered the palace, and it left a deep impression on her.She also knew the horror of the harem since then, and she has been extra careful every day since then.

Probably because of this experience, she always turned a blind eye to Gao Zixin's refusal to marry a wife and concubine.After all, she had experienced it herself, and she really didn't want to see such a bloody scene again.

Thinking of the past, He Shi couldn't help shaking his head.Those things have already passed, so what's the use of thinking about it?

However, seeing Bao'er sleeping foolishly in his arms, He Shi couldn't help laughing again.This is her own grandson. He has been so strong since he was a child and has such a big appetite. He will definitely be able to support him when he grows up.

On the other hand, Gao Zixin received a secret report from Daning Babaili urgently.Feng Xuan has always been in charge of Daning's affairs, as soon as he saw the content of the secret report, he immediately found Gao Zixin.

"Zixin, things have changed." He said, and directly placed the secret report in front of Gao Zixin.Anyway, there was no one here, so he naturally had nothing to worry about.

"What's the matter?" Gao Zixin asked in surprise, and instinctively looked at the contents of the secret report. When he saw this, his expression changed drastically, and he slammed on the imperial case with anger, "Gao Zijian is so courageous!" !"

Not only did he recruit soldiers privately, but he even colluded with the bandits and Tartars in the north. What did Gao Zijian want to do?Is he trying to lure wolves into the room to overthrow Liang's country?

Gao Zixin was furious. If it were someone else who did this, he wouldn't be so angry.

Who is Gao Zijian?He is from the Gao family, the son of Prince Ning!King Ning guarded Daning, and his duty was to keep those Tartars out of the pass, preventing them from entering the pass and disturbing the people.In the end, Gao Zijian himself colluded with those Tartars!

Does he have a brain?

Seeing that he was very angry, Feng Xuan waited for him to vent, before saying: "Gao Zijian would do this, I'm afraid it's the ghost of the system."

Gao Zixin also knew this, but he still felt that he couldn't accept it, let alone tolerate it!

"What about the Hunjun system? When Father was forcibly bound by the Hunjun system, he didn't open the door to let the Tartars come in and plunder!" Gao Zixin said dissatisfiedly, clenched his hands into fists, and suddenly asked Feng Xuan , "How are the preparations in Daning? Tell them to act quickly. No matter what method they use, they must seize Gao Zijian's power, and he must not be allowed to continue!"

"They should be about to attack." Feng Xuan said, paused here, and then continued under Gao Zixin's ugly face, "Zixin, those Tartars from the north may be unfriendly this time, we have to do it sooner. Prepare."

"You mean..." Gao Zixin picked up the secret report and read it again. After reading it, he realized that there was still content in the secret report, which said that Yezhu Khan had prepared it and planned to take advantage of it This time the opportunity to invade the Central Plains.

Gao Zixin's complexion changed drastically, but Feng Xuan said: "It's bitter cold in the north, so I said I'm well prepared, but I think most of them are desperate, as long as they give them a hard lesson and suppress their arrogance, these people will definitely retreat. "

Hearing these words, Gao Zixin finally looked a lot better. He nodded, "You're right, but this matter is of great importance, and we must act carefully, and we must not be careless in the slightest."

When he said this, he tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly said, "No, I have to ask Uncle how the Weapons Bureau is going."

After he got the planting space of Shuiyun before, he got a lot of firearms from it, but there were no bullets.Later, he ordered people to send all those firearms to the Weapons Bureau, and asked He Kun to arrange for people to study and imitate them.

Once you have a sample, you will have a general idea. Even if you can't make the same one, it can always be used as an inspiration.

Not only that, he also copied all kinds of weapons and firearms recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu" and sent them to the Weapons Bureau.

Gao Zixin remembers clearly that in "Tiangong Kaiwu" there was a record of a relatively simple firearm called Wandi, which was filled with gunpowder and other materials in the hollow mud ball of the Sugan, and the mud ball was covered with gunpowder and other materials. The upper wooden frame is reinforced, and when the enemy attacks the city, they can light the fuze and throw it down. After the gunpowder explodes, the lethality is quite good.

Although it cannot be compared with the powerful firearms of later generations, its lethality is already very impressive for today.

The more Gao Zixin thought about it, the more he cared, so he simply ordered Huanxi to find He Kun in person, and he wanted to inquire in person.

As soon as Huanxi left, He Kun guessed that Gao Zixin was probably in a hurry, so he came quite quickly.

As soon as Gao Zixin saw him, he couldn't wait to say: "There's no need to salute. Let me ask you, how is the progress of the firearms I asked you to study?"

He Kun was suddenly surprised, he couldn't understand why Gao Zixin would ask this all of a sudden.However, he still said honestly: "Ten Thousand Enemies and Landmines have already made samples. Craftsmen are still trying different formulas and improving them to increase their power. Firearms and artillery are still under research."

Gao Zixin was overjoyed when he heard the words: "That's enough, how long does it take to make Ten Thousand Enemies and Landmines?"

The more He Kun heard it, the more frightened he became. He suddenly had a guess in his heart, and said, "As long as you have the formula and materials, it doesn't take long to make it. It can take as long as a day, or as short as half a day."

He paused at this point before asking: "Your Majesty, is there going to be a war?"

He Kun is one of his own, so Gao Zixin naturally didn't hide it from him, and directly told Gao Zijian's good deeds: "There is a wild boar Khan in the north who is ambitious to invade the Central Plains, so he specially ordered someone to buy Gao Zijian with a lot of money. Wanting to borrow from Daning, that idiot Gao Zijian actually agreed, what a pity to die!"

"What!" He Kun's face turned livid immediately, and then he knelt on the ground on one knee, "I am willing to command an army to fight, please Your Majesty to do so!"

Gao Zixin thought of He Kun not going to the last Lingnan battle, so he wanted to agree, but Feng Xuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, let me go."

Now Gao Zixin was in a dilemma, he stared at Feng Xuan dissatisfiedly: "What are you going to do?"

He Kun also looked at Feng Xuan with dissatisfaction, the anger in his eyes was almost gushing out.The last Lingnan battle was snatched by Feng Xuan, and he didn't make it. This time when he was fighting against the Tartars, he would go no matter what!

Feng Xuan smiled helplessly at Gao Zixin, and said in a low voice: "Zixin, such a good opportunity to earn military merit, if I don't go, how can I earn more military merit to silence those ministers?"

When he said this, seeing that Gao Zixin was still hesitant, he continued his efforts: "Zixin, don't you want to be with me in a fair and honest manner?"

When Gao Zixin heard this, he suddenly raised his brows and had an idea in his mind.

He took a deep look at Feng Xuan, and said to He Kun: "Uncle, let Feng Xuan go this time."

Now, He Kun stared at Feng Xuan even more dissatisfied, he also wanted to earn military merit!

Feeling his substantial gaze, Feng Xuan thought for a while and suddenly suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't Commander He be responsible for escorting the supplies?"

He purposely bit down on the word "materials". Both Gao Zixin and He Kun understood what he meant.

Whether it is the enemy of thousands or landmines, they need to be kept strictly confidential before use, and these two firearms are not stable enough to be transported long distances, so they can only be made now.

Therefore, when the time comes, you have to bring a few skilled craftsmen with you.

He Kun thought for a while, those old people in the Weapons Bureau were worried about the lack of experimental subjects, so it would be better to bring them along this time, and let them all see it with their own eyes when they fight, maybe they can gain a lot of experience.

Naturally, he was worried about entrusting others to be responsible for this matter, so although he was a little unwilling to be able to go to the battlefield, He Kun still nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he agreed, Gao Zixin was relieved.After all, He Kun is his own uncle. The more military exploits He Kun accumulates, the more stable the He family will be. It will be justifiable for him to promote He Kun.

If He Kunfei wants to compete with Feng Xuan for an errand, Gao Zixin must have a big head.

Now that He Kun agrees, he can arrange it easily.

This time, unlike the last Lingnan Rebellion, there were quite a few troops stationed in Daning, and there was no need for the imperial army to rush over thousands of miles.

So as soon as Gao Zixin discussed with Feng Xuan and He Kun, Feng Xuan and He Kun rushed to Daning secretly with three thousand elite soldiers.

At the same time, Gao Zichun, who was far away in Daning, also made a move.

He did not rush back to Prince Ning's Mansion, but secretly contacted the officials of the Prince's Mansion whom he usually made good friends with.At the same time, he also specially ordered someone to give the concubine's father, Li Yingxiong, a test of Li Yingxiong's attitude.

Gao Zichun was not afraid of Gao Zijian, what he was most afraid of was Li Yingxiong.Li Yingxiong has the most soldiers and horses in Daning. He is both King Ning's confidant and Gao Zijian's father-in-law. Gao Zichun has to be very careful.

If it was before, he wouldn't dare to contact Li Yingxiong, not even to try him out.

There was no way, since Li Yingxiong was Gao Zijian's father-in-law, he was destined to be tied to Gao Zijian, how could he turn around and help him?

But now it's different, Gao Zijian can't be humane, so he can't have a son with Shi Zifei.Gao Zichun is not absolute, Li Yingxiong will continue to help Gao Zijian.

What's more, Gao Zichun also knew that Li Yingxiong had a deep blood feud with the Tartars in the north, and his father and elder brother all died at the hands of the Tartars.

As long as he knows about Gao Zijian's collusion with the Tartars, he will definitely not continue to support Gao Zijian!

Gao Zichun was also unscrupulous. In order to increase his leverage, he even hinted to Li Yingxiong that when Gao Zijian died, he would be willing to marry the concubine Shizi as his wife!

It's a pity, after Li Yingxiong read the letter he sent, he didn't say anything, which made Gao Zichun's heart go cold.

In Li's residence, Li Yingxiong's wife looked at her husband puzzled, frowned and asked, "This Gao Zichun is quite sincere, why didn't you agree to him?"

Li Yingxiong sighed deeply, and shook his head slowly: "Gao Zijian is not a thing, how can this Gao Zichun be good? Gao Zijian killed all of Gao Zichun's children and sent all his wives and concubines to the military camp. How could Gao Zichun not hold a grudge? Yan Er is Gao Zijian's wife, how could Gao Zichun treat her sincerely?"

Hearing this, his wife also sighed, and said helplessly, "Then...that Gao Zijian has already colluded with the Tartars, so...do we Yan'er still follow him?"

Li Yingxiong suddenly sneered: "Don't worry, Gao Zijian's fate is not that hard! The news here probably has already reached Shangjing, and the person in Beijing is not something that Gao Zijian can calculate."

"You mean...Your Majesty?" His wife hesitated, "But Your Majesty is young, and the Tartars are coming so aggressively this time, I'm afraid it's..."

Li Yingxiong shook his head: "Have you forgotten the changes in Lingnan? That person is not an ordinary person. Since he succeeded to the throne, the weather in Daliang has been smooth, and floods and droughts have rarely occurred. Experimenting with three new grains, the yield is amazing!"

His wife was shocked: "This... is this true?"

Li Yingxiong said with emotion: "It is still uncertain whether it is true or false, but... now is the time to make a choice."

His wife's complexion kept changing: "You mean..."

Li Yingxiong smiled mysteriously, raised his index finger and put it on his lips: "Shh, don't say it."
