After a long time, Emperor Hongxuan suddenly stood up from the dragon throne.
Seeing the little emperor stand up, no one among the kings and ministers dared to sit down, so they all stood up voluntarily.
Emperor Hongxuan faced outside the palace, holding a teacup high, looking into the distance, towards the distant sky, and even towards the distant border.
"The Marquis of Zhenguo is right. No matter when, we should never forget those heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. Today I use this cup of tea to pay tribute to the heroes and martyrs of the Yun Kingdom. I wish that the Yun Kingdom will prosper and the human race will prosper." "The country of Yun is prosperous and the human race is prosperous!"
"The country of Yun is prosperous and the human race is prosperous!"
"The country of Yun is prosperous and the human race is prosperous!"
Everyone shouted three times, toasted to the distant border, and then sprinkled the drinks on the ground.
There is an indescribable solemnity on everyone's face. Even the Xianwang and officials of the Xianwang Party have great respect for those who died at the border.
One is about national justice, and the other is about personal affairs. At this time, we can still distinguish clearly.
Emperor Hongxuan sat down again and said to everyone: "Please eat and drink to your heart's content. Today we not only celebrate the students from Yun Kingdom competing for the top spot in the Holy Academy's trial, but also celebrate the fourth brother's victory. Today we are the kings and ministers who share the joy." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.
…………
Although it was a celebration, since it was a lunch banquet, everyone only drank about the same amount of wine and did not dare to drink freely.
After the banquet, the civil and military officials returned to various departments to continue their work.
Du Ning went to the Ministry of Industry and began to develop new equipment based on the mysterious cannon with officials from the Ministry of Industry.
Because the Mysterious Cannon is a heavy weapon, it can exert unparalleled power when used in large-scale battlefields. However, if it is used in a relatively narrow battlefield with limited space, the practicality of the Mysterious Cannon will be reduced a lot.
So Du Ning proposed a new concept, modifying the Mysterious Cannon and designing a "Lightweight Assembly Mysterious Cannon", referred to as "Lightly Mounted Cannon".
This is another new concept that surpasses current industrial technology, reducing the size of the entire mysterious cannon by half. The gun mount can be disassembled and assembled, and the shells can also be reconfigured.
The power of light-armed artillery has been greatly weakened, and there is no such powerful means of attacking cities and plundering territory.
But the advantage is that any soldier can carry it with him in a military backpack and can conduct individual combat or group combat with multiple people, making it suitable for any small battlefield.
Moreover, lightly armed cannons are easier to produce than mysterious cannons, and the shells are easier to configure.
This new design was approved by the scholars and bachelors of the Ministry of Industry, and it was immediately built according to Du Ning's ideas and drawings.
In addition, Du Ning used his own knowledge to develop the "mine cannon".
Bury gunpowder in the ground, and when the enemy passes by, step on it and send the enemy home with a "boom".
Duning plans to use "mine cannons" to block enemy roads. As long as the mine cannons are planted, there is no way to cross our army's blockade.
These technological theories that transcended the times were sealed in the files of the Ministry of Industry by Du Ning and kept under the privilege of the Marquis of Zhenguo. Without Du Ning's permission, no one could announce these technologies to the human race in advance.
King Ji knew that Du Ning was holding back to prevent others from taking advantage of him, so he set an example and gave him maximum support.
If an outsider obtains this technology in advance, the officials of the Ministry of Industry and King Ji himself will be under serious suspicion and will cooperate with the investigation of Zhongshu Pavilion and even the Holy Court.
The sharp weapons of the country cannot be shown to others!
As long as the crisis in the Yun Kingdom has not been resolved, Du Ning is determined not to reveal these secrets. When the time comes, the human race will spread.
While Du Ning was developing new weapons at the Ministry of Industry, he also used his position at the Ministry of War to train new arms that would play a huge role on the battlefield in the future.
In this regard, the Xia Wang of the Ministry of War actively cooperated. The soldiers in the capital barracks were allowed to be mobilized and trained by Du Ning. As long as they did not violate military regulations, Du Ning could randomly select any soldiers to form new battalions.
As the Ministry of Industry creates new weapons and Du Ning personally trains soldiers, the military strength of the Yun Kingdom is moving towards a new era.
During this period, various countries continued to send envoys to the Yun State to establish diplomatic relations, all with the purpose of hoping that the Yun State could reveal the technology of the mysterious cannon to the human race as soon as possible, but every time they failed.
Even so, the other countries still took the trouble and tried every means to show their goodwill to the Yun State.
After all, this kind of thing can't be done for a while, so you have to spend more time and slowly kill it until it's done.
There are also some aristocratic families who send people to speak good words for the Liao Kingdom, hoping that the Yun Kingdom can turn their hostility into friendship with the Liao Kingdom. After all, although the two countries have conflicts, they are ultimately the same human race.
Emperor Hongxuan immediately changed the subject and was unwilling to mention anything about the Liao Kingdom.
The grievances between the Liao State and the Yun State can no longer be explained clearly in a few words. In order for Emperor Hongxuan to resolve the conflict with the Liao State, the Liao State must formally apologize to the Yun State in the literary world, otherwise nothing can be discussed.
This is not just a matter of right or wrong, but also a matter of dignity.
The Liao Kingdom did not send anyone to establish diplomatic relations with the Yun Kingdom. The relationship between the two sides was very tense, as if there was an invisible smell of gunpowder that would ignite at the slightest touch.
If it were in the past, the Liao Kingdom would have long been looking for an excuse to send troops to the Yun Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom would never have suffered such treatment and humiliation from the Yun Kingdom.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
But now, the Yun State has mysterious cannons to scare other countries. If the Liao State dares to send troops, the Yun State's army can fight all the way to the capital of the Liao State.
The Liao State is now facing a very embarrassing situation. If it does not publicly apologize to the Yun State, it will be isolated by the Yun State. Even if the Yun State discloses the technology of the mysterious cannon to the human race, it will not share it with the Liao State. When the time comes, the Liao State will
Because of the lack of this technology, it became a weak country.
Just imagine, when all the countries in the human race use mysterious artillery to strengthen their armies, but the Liao Kingdom still uses cold weapons, then the Liao Kingdom's national prestige will be gone.
The Yun State did not need any fighting to drag the powerful Liao State into a weak state.
If the Liao State publicly apologizes to the Yun State, the Liao State may still restore the previous diplomatic relations, but the Liao State people will not be so tough when speaking in front of the Yun State people.
The people of the Liao State have always looked down upon the people of the Yun State, so naturally they cannot accept the Yun State's attitude of being higher than them.
The relationship between the two countries is in a stalemate, and Yun Guo is not panicking, because Yun Guo does not have to look at the faces of Liao people, but Liao has to worry about the future situation.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
There are still twenty days left before the Chinese New Year.
The Holy Academy announced to the world that it will begin to select experienced people who will enter the Three Realms Mountain after the beginning of spring.
In addition to the All Saints family taking the lead, many students from other countries actively signed up to participate.
Confucian students headed by Kong Yu jointly submitted a memorial to the Holy Academy, recommending Du Ning, a student from the Yun Kingdom, to become a member of the experienced people for the human race. The names of Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue were also written in the memorial, which was beautiful.
They are called "Three Outstanding Scholars".
At the same time, the semi-saint family of the Liao Kingdom also recommended the "Three Masters of Jinshi" to the human race as experienced scholars.
Except for the recommendations from the Holy Family and the Ke family, no one from other countries recommended the "Three Outstanding Scholars".
These two recommendation lists were sent to the Great Confucian Hall.
After Conde saw the word "Du Ning", his eyes showed a little anger.
"Mr. Heshan, this is the list of experienced people recommended by our Kong family. Take a look!"
Comte handed the memorial to Fan Heshan for Fan Heshan to read.
Fan Heshan glanced at Kong De in surprise, then took the memorial and browsed it roughly.
After a moment, a sneer appeared on Fan Heshan's lips.
"As expected of a student of the Confucius family, he is really thinking about the human race. I admire him."
Fan Heshan's tone was full of ridicule, and he even refused to give face to Kong De, a member of the Kong family.
Kong De looked a little ashamed and said: "Kong doesn't know about this. If he knew about it, he would definitely stop it."
"If Du Ning is a child of the All Saints family, then he has a duty, but he comes from a poor family and does not have the foundation of your Holy Family. He does not even have a life-saving cultural treasure, but you recommend Du Ning to the Three Realms Mountain. This is not
To let him go through training, but to let him die, is to kill a genius on the road of growth." Fan Heshan said angrily.
Kongde looked ugly, but he could only spread his hands to express that this matter had nothing to do with him, otherwise he would not have shown the memorial of recommendation to Fan Heshan.
At the same time, Kong De also scolded Kong Yu in his heart. He knew that Du Ning was the most promising genius in the human race, but he pushed Du Ning into the fire pit. It was simply stupid.
A great scholar from the Most Holy Family, to act like this in order to avenge his personal hatred is simply the hallmark of the Most Holy Family!
"Brother Heshan is serious."
Ke Changqiu said with a smile: "Du Ning is the first scholar in history to have the courage of twelve swords. He is also the first to inscribe his name on the ten-foot-high sword test monument. He is also the strongest in literary warfare.
A Jinshi should train more. Apart from Sanjie Mountain, there is probably no place more suitable for him to practice. I believe that after he goes to Sanjie Mountain, he will definitely achieve more than he does now."
"If I guess correctly, the other recommendation memorial on the table was written by a student of your Ke family in Liao, right?" Fan Heshan's eyes turned cold.
Ke Changqiu's face did not change, his eyes jumped fiercely, and he said slowly: "How did Mr. Heshan know that the other memorial was written by a student of my Ke family? Do you have the ability to predict the future?"
"Because you Ke family students also want to kill my Yunguo student Du Ning!" Fan Heshan said loudly.
"Presumptuous!"
Ke Changqiu shouted in anger and anger. Being accused like this by Fan Heshan in front of the great scholars of other countries was simply an unbearable shame and humiliation.
The faces of the great scholars from various countries became extremely serious. Du Ning's talent was recognized by all countries and unquestionable.
It is very wise to let Du Ning go to Sanjie Mountain.
But if he was asked to die in order to avenge his private revenge, no one of the great scholars present would agree to such a ridiculous thing.
"Mr. Heshan, please don't spit on anyone!" Ke Changqiu said sternly.
"Among the scholars from all over the world, except for the Holy Family, you are the only ones from the Liao Kingdom who would recommend Du Ning to go to the Three Realms Mountains. On the surface, it sounds nice for the sake of the human race, but in fact, you simply wish that Du Ning died in the Three Realms Mountains. You
Who can you hide from this little trick?" Fan Heshan sneered.
"They also recommended Du Ning. Why did you only say that the Ke family of Liao State wanted to put Du Ning to death, but not that the Holy Family wanted to put Du Ning to death? You can slander me, but don't you dare to slander the Kong family?
"Ke Changqiu sneered.
"You are wrong, I did not slander you."
Fan Heshan spoke loudly and his meaning was very clear. The Kong family and the Ke family, who recommended Du Ning as a man of experience, both wanted Du Ning to be buried in the Three Realms Mountains.
Ke Changqiu was so angry that his chest heaved violently: "Fan Heshan, you are so bold! This is the Holy Courtyard, and you cannot tolerate your nonsense. Why don't you quickly apologize to the Kong family?"
"You said you asked me to apologize, so I have to apologize? I told the truth, and I didn't make a mistake. Even if I did make a mistake, it wouldn't be your turn, a great scholar of the Ke family, to teach you a lesson, or... Is it possible that your Liao country can also create a mysterious cannon?
Already?" Fan Heshan smiled contemptuously.
"You..."
Ke Changqiu was so angry that it was the first time that Fan Heshan threatened the country with military force. This was simply unbearable.
What's even more irritating is that Fan Heshan actually calls him "the great scholar of the Ke family", which directly denies his identity as the "great scholar of the human race". This is a slap in the face of Ke Changqiu in public.
I remember that when Fan Qianfeng, the semi-sage of the Yun Kingdom, killed Ke Changyi of the Liao Kingdom, he also commented that Ke Changyi was a "great Confucian of the Ke family" and was not worthy of calling himself a "great Confucian of the human race".
The words "Fan Heshan, a great scholar of the Ke family" were like a heavy hammer, hitting Ke Changqiu's heart so hard that he couldn't even utter a word to refute.
The great scholars from all over the world took a deep breath. After Yun Guo created the mysterious cannon, Fan Heshan spoke in a more powerful tone than any other great scholar.
When the country is strong, what you say is the truth!
"Okay, you two, stop arguing."
Kongde said: "Du Ning is not only the genius of the Yun Kingdom, but also the genius of the entire human race. The Holy Court should give him due protection instead of rushing him to dangerous places. This matter needs long-term consideration."
Ke Changqiu's expression changed, and his tone became a little anxious: "If Du Ning is a true genius, then he will definitely be able to withstand the test, and the Three Realms Mountain is suitable for a genius like Du Ning to go there. The human race needs him to step forward at this time.
If he dares to back down, he is not worthy of being a human scholar."
"You fart!"
Fan Heshan pointed at Ke Changqiu's nose and said loudly: "Ke, don't speak so grandly. Don't think that I don't know that you are trying to kill me with a borrowed knife, and use the hands of the demon clan and Rakshasa clan to kill my human genius.
!"
"Bad talk!"
Ke Changqiu said: "The geniuses of the human race should shed their lives and blood for the human race. This is a matter of course. How can you slander our reputation like this? Mr. Heshan, please pay attention to your words!"
"Then you dare to swear an oath to prove your literary courage?" Fan Heshan asked rhetorically.
Ke Changqiu's momentum weakened and he said fiercely: "That's ridiculous, Mr. Heshan, you are an elder, I don't share your knowledge, and there is no point in arguing between you and me. It is our right and obligation to recommend Du Ning to the human race. As for going
If you don’t go to Sanjie Mountain, it’s your decision that counts. Only Du Ning himself has the final say.”
Fan Heshan showed a look of helplessness, closed his mouth, and showed coldness in his eyes.
