Chapter 483: Tubo messenger visits
Chapter 483 The Tibetan envoys visit
"What do you mean?" Li Er and Qin Qiong asked at the same time.
Li Feng smiled and said: "Today's muskets require a bullet to be loaded every time a shot is fired. Are you satisfied?"
Li Erdao: "How can you keep shooting without loading bullets?"
"I never said that." Li Feng said.
Then Li Feng took out an iron bullet and said: "Now every time we fire a gun, we must first load the gunpowder and then the iron bullet.
However, if we directly load gunpowder and iron bullets together to form a bullet, and then load it directly into the musket, we can load ten bullets at a time, and there is no need to load bullets at all when firing a shot.
Are you more satisfied with this than you are now? The same goes for cannons. You have seen how powerful our cannons are now.
But its disadvantage is that it is too bulky and it is very troublesome to transport it. But if it is made smaller and put on wheels, will it be easier to transport?
Will you be more satisfied than now?"
Li Er said angrily: "Satisfied, quite satisfied, provided you can do it."
Li Feng said: "I can't do it, and the Bureau of Firearms doesn't know. As long as they don't satisfy the status quo and keep researching, they can do it.
However, let my group of disciples learn that as long as someone really likes muskets, he will find ways to solve these problems.
As a musket enthusiast, he will not be satisfied with the status quo. What's more, with more people learning, the success rate will be higher.
Anyway, my disciples have already started to come into contact with artillery and muskets, and they will learn it sooner or later. It is better to teach them directly."
Li Er frowned and said: "I understand all the people in front of me, but sooner or later they will learn what it means?"
Li Feng said: "One of their trainings is called firearms repair and maintenance. Just like knives will rust, muskets will also be damaged due to long-term use.
At this time, they must learn to maintain and repair, and even assemble firearms and cannons."
Li Er understood.
"Uncle Bao, find a few people with good skills to teach those boys, and tell them that after the Turks are defeated, all officers will be promoted to level three."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Qiong responded.
Since you must learn, then teach well, maybe you can produce a few talents, but that will not make the imperial court stronger.
Next, the three of them began to take a good rest.
So after another night, the carriage returned to Chang'an, and then stopped in the backyard of Qin Mansion.
Then Li Er entered the palace, and Li Feng returned to the prison and replaced the eunuch, as if nothing had happened in a few days.
Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were handling government affairs in the palace at this time.
"Master Wei, can we find strong evidence against Li Feng in two days?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Wei Zheng said angrily: "Master Fang, do you think I can find him?"
"Haha..." Fang Xuanling said with a smile, "That's right. If he wanted to come out, I'm afraid he would have come out long ago. Why do you need to collect evidence to save him?"
Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Who says it's not the case? I really don't know what Your Majesty and Li Feng are doing."
"Yes, you still have time to go home, but I haven't been back for two days," Fang Xuanling said.
Wei Zheng joked: "Would you like me to explain it to you, Madam-in-law?"
"No need, I'm doing business, it's not some shameful thing. What do I need to explain?" Fang Xuanling said.
"Xuanling, what do you want to explain?" Li Er walked in and happened to hear Fang Xuanling say what to explain, and immediately asked curiously.
When Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng saw the person clearly, they stood up immediately.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
After Li Er sat in the first seat, he said, "You two dear ladies, you don't need to be polite, just take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling sat down again.
Li Er spoke again: "Xuanling, what do you want to explain?"
Fang Xuanling smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you for your concern about family matters."
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fang has not been home for two days, so he is more worried about his wife."
Li Er immediately understood that Fang Xuanling wanted to explain to his wife at home, so he looked at Fang Xuanling sympathetically.
"Ahem..." Fang Xuanling coughed to cover up his embarrassment, "Your Majesty, where have you been these two days?"
"Meet your son." Li Er had nothing to hide from Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.
Fang Xuanling immediately asked: "How is the dog?"
"I have suffered a lot and have become a lot darker, but I have become more promising than before. They will be back in a few days. Remember, don't scold them and comfort them well. It won't be long before,
They'll go back to training."
General Li Er explained the plan to catch the traitors.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, I dare not say whether this plan is good or bad."
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, should this matter be discussed in the long term?"
"No." Li Er said resolutely, "I just want to find out this Wolong. No matter who dares to betray the Tang Dynasty, I will not be polite to him."
"I am willing to fully assist Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng said at the same time.
Li Er nodded and said: "The two days of my absence have been very hard for both of you."
"This is my duty. How dare I express my sorrow?" Wei Zheng said.
Li Er nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "There is nothing important in the court, right?"
"Yes, the Tibetan envoys have arrived in Chang'an." Fang Xuanling said.
"Do you know the purpose of their coming?" Li Er asked.
Fang Xuanling said: "Coming for weapons, Songtsen Gampo sent their saints here. They have already submitted their credentials and hope to get weapons."
Li Er's expression changed. Isn't this Tubo Saint her niece Li Qingyu? Now that she's here, do I have to give her face or not give them face?
"Your Majesty, do you want to see the Tibetan envoy?" Fang Xuanling asked again.
Li Er came back to his senses and said: "See you, let Li Feng go and see you together."
"Your Majesty, the humble minister is incompetent. So far, no evidence has been found to prove that Marquis Lantian is innocent." Wei Zheng said suddenly.
Li Er rolled his eyes at Wei Zheng and said, "Li Feng has found evidence. You tell him that Tubo is here to discuss business. By the way, let Tang Jian come with him."
Wei Zheng said: "I obey the order."
Then he gave Fang Xuanling a look, as if to say, I guessed it right, Li Feng can come out if he wants.
Fang Xuanling just smiled slightly.
In an inn under the jurisdiction of Honglu Temple, a group of people dressed as Tibetans filled the entire hall.
In the middle sat a woman dressed entirely in white, with a white gauze covering her face. Every time she drank tea, she would slightly lift the white gauze to reveal a delicate little mouth.
There was another person sitting next to him, he was the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan. On the surface, the saint was the leader, but in fact, Lu Dongzan was the person in charge of this mission.
