As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

So, among the group of young soldiers who experienced the influence of Huamanlou in Xishan and witnessed the birth of hot air balloons from scratch, only a small number of ten or twenty dared to board the airship, let alone others?

Zhao Ren realized the problem: "This...a great reward must have a brave man, right?"

Hua Manlou hit him again: "Oh, the 10 taels were spent on recruiting? What about wastage, fuel, and bombs?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhao Ren was in a hurry: "You can't do nothing, can you?"

Hua Manlou said sadly: "Then let's go to Xishan by yourself and let your group of cobblers build airships, then go to Huang Zichao and ask him to help you recruit a group of people. First, tell them about your land. Let them accept the magnetic theory, and finally let the people in the airship team prove that they will not be struck by lightning when they fly into the sky..."

"Huh? This is a good idea!" Zhao Ren was happy.

Hua Manlou said perfunctorily, "Well, it's a good idea, you can do it yourself."

Zhao Ren stood up and realized when he walked to the door: "Wait a minute, let me do all of this by myself? What about you?"

Hua Manlou sighed, "I just got married, big brother, now I just want to stay at home for a few more days and have a good rest..."

Zhao Ren looked puzzled: "Just married... so what?"

Hua Manlou pursed her lips, a little unsure whether she should give Zhao Ren a lesson or not.

Ordinarily, at his age, he should know some things, after all...

Whether it's an official family or a rich family, they will buy a little maid to serve their heirs when they are of the right age. Even the children of ordinary people's families have been popularized by some precocious guys, and they will even lie on the wall to peek at the widow next door taking a bath. , but Zhao Ren is so cute...

Not to mention that no women are allowed in the East Palace, Emperor Guangxing always thought that he was still a child, so he protected him in all aspects. It's just sleeping together, I don't even know that sleeping is actually a verb...

After hesitating for a while, Hua Manlou waved his hand: "You...you will know later."

Anyway, before the royal nephews got married, there were usually specially selected people to practice and teach directly on the spot. Hua Manlou felt that he should not bother.

511. Zhuge

In the past, Huamanlou always thought that the newlyweds were going on a honeymoon. It is said that this matter is related to romance, and it will greatly affect the stability of married life.

However, a friend later told him through personal experience that this matter was another big scam created by the merchants, second only to diamond rings.

Needless to say what is the situation of the diamond ring, if you buy a small thing that does not have collection value, you can only throw it in your hands, but everyone who has collection value can’t afford it, so you have to buy a thing that is neither fancy nor useful. The daughter-in-law's jewelry box collects dust.

As for the honeymoon...

It’s okay for people who often travel, they know which pitfalls they can’t step on, and those who don’t go out often—like the friend of Huamanlou, who went to various places that he didn’t want to play or even had no interest in at all, like a honeymoon tour group. Leaving aside the tiredness, I didn’t play well, and I spent a lot of time buying a bunch of gadgets that looked like they were on the street stalls in the specialty store that the travel agency cooperated with.

The final result is: money wasted, time wasted, let’s not talk about not playing, he, a northern man on the Loess Plateau, went to the South China Sea to see the sea for the first time, but was taken to the mountain...

Obviously, newlyweds are all adhering to the idea of ​​'marry only once in this life', so they are cut off in various ways-you say you only get married once, and you still expect those unscrupulous businessmen not to do one. Hammer sale?

But for Huamanlou after crossing, none of the above nonsense exists—even if there are wedding photo studios and wedding companies in this era, no one dares to trick him.It would be even easier to go on a honeymoon, he could even form a large group to go, and no matter where he went, he could directly clear the venue and block the road, and play as he wanted.

Take the seaside as an example, a private beach?Private island?With the big Zhao navy in hand, wherever he goes is private.

But unfortunately, even though he hoped to take a few young wives out to abuse dogs, as far as the result is concerned, it is very difficult for him to go to Zhao Ren's summer resort now.It's not that Emperor Guangxing didn't borrow the place, but because news came from Xuanwu Guard on the third day after his marriage: a coalition army of factory guards who was looking for King Yiduan, a total of more than [-] people, was attacked by thieves in Baoding Mansion. eight.

"Are you kidding me? Where are there thieves in Baoding?" Hua Manlou became furious after receiving the news: "The thieves have always come from Bazhou, but the thieves in Bazhou have all been recruited by Song Jie, and they are all here now." Young Master’s subordinates, co-authors, this means that the official’s people attacked the factory guard?”

The thousands of households in the inner city of Xuanwuwei who came to report panicked when they heard the words: "Uncle, I don't mean that, but the people who came back said that they just encountered thieves, and there were quite a few of them..."

Hua Manlou waved his hands and said, "Okay, it's not that your report is not true, but tell me in detail, where did this group of thieves come from, and what method did they use to attack the factory guards?"

After the Qianhu talked nervously for a long while, Hua Manlou finally figured out the situation.

On the day when King Yiduan rebelled, the factory guards gathered a team to search for his whereabouts, and then searched all the way, and soon after chasing out of the capital, they found traces of King Yiduan fleeing to Baoding Mansion.

The Allied Forces of Factory Guards, who were ordered to stop King Yiduan, did not dare to neglect, and chased them all night. When they reached Xin'an, they were exhausted and exhausted, so they planned to rest for a night and continue their pursuit the next day.

The name of Xin'an seems to have been changed to Anxin later. Not many people know about it, but there is a famous place nearby: Baiyangdian.

The factory guards camped and rested by the lakeside of Baiyangdian Lake. It was night, and there was a sudden cry of killing in Baiyangdian Lake.

The factory guards, who were alarmed, did not have the ability to fight in the water, and in the dark, they did not know how many people had come to the lake. After the arrow rain, the factory guards suffered losses. The Xuanwu guards who led the team in the chaos ordered to evacuate first. Lead the enemy to the shore to fight.

However, the other party seemed to just want to harass them, and there was no movement in the lake after the factory guards withdrew.

Because the nearby terrain was unfamiliar, and he was afraid that the place would attack again, after hesitating for a while, the governor of Xuanwuwei made a decision: go to Xin'an County for repairs, and make plans after dawn.

However, it was because of this decision that the factory guard lost everything: when passing through a valley, the front road was blocked and the back road was blocked. Some combustible materials that generate smoke caused the factory guards to lose most of their combat capabilities in just an instant.

The panic-stricken Zhen Fu tried to organize people to kill outside, and managed to gather a hundred people to break through the blocked front road, but after running for less than two miles, he was overtaken by a team of thieves, and arrived alive after a deadly battle. There are only eight left in Xin'an...

This battle was fought just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was a fire attack and a surprise attack in the middle of the night. Those who didn't know might really think that this battle was the technical guidance of Mr. Zhuge Village—that's all. Can you say that he is not a villager with the sense of sight of harvesting one crop after another?

But Hua Manlou's focus was not on this at all, but on the teams that made a surprise attack in the middle of the night.

The governor who came back said that the people who attacked them were well-mannered and highly skilled. Although I don't know if he said this to get rid of the crime, it is obvious that the combat power of this group of people is absolutely extraordinary.

So here comes the question: Where did King Yiduan summon these people?Where did this group of people train again?Or in other words, this group of people is simply a certain guard...or frontier army?

"So until the end you didn't figure out who the other party was, and how many people there were?" Hua Manlou asked again unwillingly.

The thousand households trembled and said: "Returning to Uncle, Liu Zhenfu said that the situation that day was really too chaotic, and it was too dark to see clearly, so..."

"Alas..." Hua Manlou sighed, "Okay, I understand, you can go."

Qianhu resigned as though she had received an amnesty, but Huamanlou fell into depression again.

Xuanwuwei is the emperor's pro-army, representing the face of the royal family, but this time, this face was thrown on the ground and stepped on a few times. It is said that the offender should be caught and chopped up, but in fact, even what is the other party? No one knows, this...

I really lost my face—not Xuanwuwei's face, but Emperor Guangxing's.

So what is certain is that Emperor Guangxing must find his way back when he was furious, but because King Yiduan hid it too well, the conventional methods didn't work at all, so Huamanlou, who had repeatedly made strange moves, couldn't rest.

"I just got married, I haven't had my honeymoon yet..." Hua Manlou sighed, and at the same time told Hua Erbei to get ready to go out - if there is no accident, the call from the palace will come after a while.

When going out, Hua Manlou was furious in his heart: "Prince Yiduan, I'm not finished with you!"

512. Make things easier

Hua Manlou's guess was right, as soon as he stepped out of the house, he bumped into Xiao Huangmen who came to pass the decree, asking him to go to the imperial study to meet him, and when he arrived, the anger on Emperor Guangxing's face was still there.

Xu Dacheng and Lu Kun knelt on the ground, and when Huamanlou came in, these two unlucky bastards didn't even dare to lift their heads - the killing of the factory and guard coalition forces can be said to be a non-war crime, but as the eyes and ears of the emperor, when will Baoding Mansion appear? With such a team of people, the factory guards don't know, let alone what the origin of this group of people is, so what's the use of their factory guards?

So Emperor Guangxing's anger was justified.

But what made Huamanlou feel incomprehensible was that before he could salute and greet him, Emperor Guangxing suddenly said, "Huamanlou, you came just in time, teach these two idiots how to do things!"

Hua Manlou immediately had a black line: I'm afraid it's not a cat with a big blue head, I know everything?

Pursing her lips, Hua Manlou said slowly: "Father, it is impossible for a minister to teach people how to do things, but I have just heard about an important matter and I need to report it to my father."

Emperor Guangxing frowned: "What's the matter? It's another crap that keeps me going?"

Hua Manlou coughed dryly and said, "Probably...is it?"

"Let me speak slowly first." Emperor Guangxing closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths hard to calm himself down, and then said: "Speak."

"Yes. I just heard that Dongchang received the news that a large number of Bailian disciples suddenly appeared in Lanzhou Mansion. The intention is unknown." Hua Manlou spit out such a passage with a serious face.

Emperor Guangxing said in astonishment: "The White Lotus Sect...appeared in Lanzhou Prefecture?"

Hua Manlou said solemnly: "That's right. Father, the factory guards have been suppressing Bailian since last year, but this Bailian sect is so evil that they can't be suppressed all the time. I don't know how the factory guards manage to make such a large group of Bailian The teacher ran to the Lanzhou government, and it is said that he will murder the lives of the royal family..."

Xu Dacheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was still in a daze: Bailian...has disappeared this year, why did she go to Lanzhou Mansion?And why didn't our family receive the news?

However, Lu Kun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nudged Xu Dacheng with his elbow indiscriminately, and then said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't do my best, it's because... because that white lotus is too much." Treacherous, impossible to guard against!"

Xu Dacheng glanced at Lu Kun blankly, and immediately had a flash of inspiration: "Yes, Your Majesty, how dare this old slave not be dedicated? The White Lotus Sect is full of tricks and is good at bewitching the people. If you don't pay attention, you can make a mess." Big mess..."

Lu Kun answered immediately: "Your Majesty, my minister, please take the crime and make meritorious deeds, and personally lead people to Lanzhou Mansion to destroy Bailian!"

"The old slave will go too!"

Having said that, Emperor Guangxing also understood what Huamanlou meant, he looked at Huamanlou, then at the two people kneeling on the ground, and said: "You go out first, I will chat with Huamanlou chat."

"Yes."

The two spy chiefs kneeled and crawled out after kowtowing as if they had received an amnesty.

"Tell me, what do you think?" Seeing the two leave, Emperor Guangxing pointed to the brocade stool beside him and signaled Hua Manlou to sit down and talk.

"Father, the current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so just think of a way to put it in the light." Hua Manlou knew that this was going to be open and honest, so he said unhurriedly: "Yituan We don't know how powerful the king is now, and we don't know who is attached to him, and there is even no evidence of his rebellion. In this way, if the father does something to him...even if he orders him to return to the capital, there will be problems. And If there is a reason for the court to send more people to Lanzhou Mansion, things will change."

Hua Manlou could see it very clearly. Emperor Guangxing's current situation can be described in two words: passive.

On the premise that there is no evidence of rebellion, no matter what the court does now, it will be interpreted randomly by others-conspiracy theories do not exist only in the era of Huamanlou.

Therefore, the first solution that Huamanlou suggested to Emperor Guangxing was to send people to the headquarters of King Yiduan in Lanzhou Prefecture to make a fuss first—the White Lotus Sect probably went to Lanzhou Prefecture with the idea of ​​murdering the emperor’s relatives. Then in order to exterminate them, it is reasonable for the imperial court to send a large army to garrison Lanzhou, right?

As for whether Bailian Jiaole is willing to take the blame...

Well, I must be very happy, anyway, they are a gang that takes rebellion as their mission, killing the prince or something, how many years of performance does this have to do?

Emperor Guangxing's expression was subtle: "Send someone to talk about it. Is this the reason? Isn't it a bit of a joke?"

Hua Manlou said indifferently: "Father, after searching for so long, so far Dongchang has not been able to find the whereabouts of the Bailian leader and all the high-level officials, and I don't know how many of them are still hiding in the dark. Saying that they went to Lanzhou, who can say that it is absolutely impossible?"

When Hua Manlou said this, the expression on his face was very similar to the spokesperson of the eagle sauce who claimed that there was a certain dangerous product in a certain place in those years-the reason, the reason is to gag other people's mouths, as for whether it really exists, who cares ?

Emperor Guangxing nodded, and pondered: "What about after sending someone there?"

Hua Manlou sighed and said: "There may be two results. One is that King Yiduan immediately raised his troops. In this situation, the father directly declared that he had an affair with Bai Lian, and he would be wiped out immediately; the other, if he understands us It is very likely that we will hold back our thoughts, and then we have to go a little too far, such as claiming that the White Lotus Sect is hidden in his palace and requesting a search."

Emperor Guangxing frowned and said: "I hear what you mean, you have to force him to rebel?"

"Father, we have no choice." Hua Manlou said helplessly, "What happened this time has already explained the problem very well. King Yiduan does not leave any excuses for doing things. If we don't do something, we can only Passively defend against his conspiracy again and again. Rather than doing this, it is better to destroy it once and for all."

Although he really didn't want to care about this nonsense, Hua Manlou knew that this nonsense would definitely fall on him in the end, so he had been thinking about King Yiduan for the past few days.

Judging from the current situation, the imperial court is not afraid of war, what is afraid of is that King Yiduan will engage in other messy operations - such as instigating other royal families to rebel together, or instigating more court generals, and giving people backstabs unexpectedly .

Therefore, rather than pulling out the fox's tail little by little, it is better to lead the snake out of the hole and force King Yiduan to turn back. In this way, things are much simpler.

Of course, if it is possible to send someone who has nothing to do in daily life or recruits or instigates against the enemy, and directly handles several important people of the other party, things will be even simpler.

Emperor Guangxing hesitated for a while after listening to Hua Manlou's words, and finally said: "Then who do you think is better to handle this matter?"

"Uh……"

513. An Old Father's Sorrow

When Emperor Guangxing asked this sentence, Hua Manlou's expression became tangled.

He was the one who came up with the idea. According to the normal logic of the monarch and his ministers, Huamanlou should express his loyalty by saying, "My son and minister are willing to go, and share the worries of the father and emperor", but he dare not say it. King Yiduan is playing.

Although the Lanzhou cuisine of Huamanlou's previous life is very famous, and it can be found in every inconspicuous corner of the city like Shaxian snacks, but Lanzhou people basically don't eat Lanzhou cuisine. They also prefer hot pot just like you and me. Most of the ramen restaurants are from Qinghai...

Well, these are not important, the important thing is, it’s fine if you don’t pay for the honeymoon, what’s the matter if you go to do something?

Although Huamanlou has been a little tired these few nights, but some things are tiring and satisfying, and Qin'er also understood his meaning and made a long-looking white shirt. After Jiu'er put it on, then Towering, with smooth and white long legs, matched with that contemptuous gaze...

Cough cough, this matter is not enough for outsiders.

In short, it is impossible to go to Lanzhou, and I will never go in this life.

But when Hua Manlou was about to think of a way to prevaricate, Emperor Guangxing himself stated: "Well, forget it, you delayed your marriage last year because of the Japanese pirates, so don't go out this year."

Hua Manlou was instantly happy when he heard the words: Godfather is mighty!

It's more comfortable to provide remote support in Xishan than to fight against a feudal lord, isn't it?

But before Hua Manlou could say anything, Emperor Guangxing said again: "Let your father go, I don't worry if he goes, and it's convenient for you to say something to him..."

Huamanlou: ? ? ?

No, is it really possible to trap the whole family?With so many people in the court, is there really no one who can handle King Yiduan together?

That thing is to put down the rebellion, and the flat one is a long-planned and scheming prince. If he accidentally plays it off, his father will be gone...

But if you think about it, there are only a few people that Emperor Guangxing absolutely trusts in the court. If you send a few errands at random, isn't it a gift for others?But the Hua family is different. In order to make the emperor cut it easily, the Hua family will even commit some crimes and hand them over to the emperor...

What's more, my father is in charge of Nanzhen Fusi no matter what, so it is reasonable to let him do things as Xuanwuwei.

Furthermore, in order to solve the matter of King Yiduan in a short period of time, Emperor Guangxing will definitely require that those who go to suppress the rebellion be rationed with some of the most advanced things in Xishan, and he is worried about handing over these things to distrust Humans—not to mention, let’s just talk about airships. Although the palace has secretly built air-raid shelters since the appearance of hot air balloons, who would like to go underground to play without any problems?

Finally, the person who goes there must be tough in his attitude and style when fighting against King Yiduan, especially when the other party does not want to be inspected in the palace.If you send someone with a soft personality and a soft face, then...

Well, that was hilarious.
