Chapter 925 (1/2)

Han lingfu's whole face was gloomy with an understatement from the official language, and he was about to turn over. At last he remembered his image of being gentle as jade, and he restrained it.

Even the emperor's face was heavy and his eyes were gloomy.

All the civil and military ministers around were silent. Some of them shook their heads in secret. They didn't know whether they were feeling or admiring: everyone knew that the emperor was in high spirits because of the new crossbow. If ordinary people didn't just beat the iron to make the emperor happy, they might even be able to rub a little favor for it. This comfortable Hou is really different.

Some people flashed sarcasm in their eyes, thinking: if the official language is white, if it is good, it will be straightforward; if it is not, it will be a dull head. It is no wonder that officials will end up like this

Perhaps as long as the eldest prince and the second prince's face hide happiness, but they dare not show too obvious.

”Come and be at ease with me.” The emperor said in a deep voice.

”Back to the emperor,” Guan yubai replied slowly, ”emperor, although the crossbow can shoot twelve arrows at a time, there is a problem that can not be ignored, that is, the accuracy of these twelve arrows.” After a pause, he explained, ”Fang Cai Chen and Wei Yang Hou each shot twelve arrows, but each time less than half of them hit the target.”

When trying the crossbow before, the twelve iron arrows flew out, which could hardly be caught by the naked eye. Finally, he only noticed that several iron arrows were inserted into the target, but he did not count how many iron arrows were hit on the target.

The official language Bai said so, and after a careful count, they found that it was indeed the case.

If the emperor was thoughtful, he did not immediately express his position.

Han lingfu was secretly relieved. He thought that the official language Bai wanted to say something. If it was this problem, he and Cui Wei had already found out. He had a sarcastic smile in his heart. Just now, the official's boasting about ”things” was clearly to make a fuss. At the moment, it seemed that the official general who had been so marvelous was just like this.

”Father emperor,” Han Ling Fu came forward half way, ”please listen to the son minister.”

All the ministers saw that he had a plan in mind, and they knew that there would be a good play to watch today.

”Three emperor son, you say.” Naturally, the emperor agreed.

Han lingfu looked up and said, ”father, in fact, the problem of accuracy has also been found by the children's ministers. In addition, the children's ministers also found that the twelve arrows were fired in succession, and the interval between each arrow was somewhat uneven, sometimes fast or slow...”

Han lingfu calmly looked at the official language white, the eyes seemed to say, he simply said the shortcomings of the crossbow, see what you can pick!

The official language looks back quietly, and there is still a faint smile on his lips, which is not different from Han lingfu's provocation.

Han lingfu couldn't help feeling depressed, but he continued: ”father, according to the children's ministers, these defects seem to be a problem, but in fact they are not a problem.” he confidently said, ”today, if it is a one-to-one relationship between the children's ministers and an Yihou, or several people to several people, then the problems just mentioned will become the key to success or failure. But now the bow and crossbow is to take If you go to the battlefield with one hand and let thousands or even tens of thousands of people use it, then tens of thousands of arrows will be fired at the same time. Who can escape the flying arrows? ”

Hearing the speech, Wei Yang Hou also nodded, ”the emperor, I think what the third prince said is not bad. Intensive tactics can really cover up the problem of insufficient accuracy of bows and crossbows.”

The emperor pondered for a while, and then asked the official language Bai faintly, ”in addition to this, what's wrong with the crossbow?”

The second one is to answer the question in a clear way. This bow and crossbow uses iron arrows as arrows, which cost a lot. Even if the cost is ignored, a large number of iron mines are still needed as backup support. If you want to send tens of thousands of iron arrows at once, you need to prepare hundreds of thousands or even millions of iron arrows. It may be difficult to allocate such a large number of iron arrows. ”

This conventional feather arrow uses iron as arrow and wood as arrow body. Naturally, the cost is much cheaper than pure iron arrow.

All the ministers whispered with each other and felt that the official language was very reasonable. According to Han lingfu's plan, this was not a war with Changdi, but a burning of money!

No one thought that Han Ling Fu was still calm and calm.

Han lingfu's mouth was slightly crooked. The problems mentioned by Guan yubai were long in their expectation. He took a look at Guan yubai with a smile, and then he said, ”father, the iron arrows are worth a lot. Therefore, the children are willing to hand over the 200000 taels of silver allocated by the father to the children's minister to the imperial court to use as military funds to help me defeat Changdi.”

As for the iron ore, Guan yubai may not know, but Han lingfu knows that Dayu is not short of iron ore. just a month ago, Jingzhou just discovered two new iron ores, and this iron ore and other mineral rights must be nationalized, which means that the emperor pingbai has two more mines.

Although it is true that this iron arrow consumes silver, Dayu can still afford to deal with a mere Changdi.

Han Ling Fu's impassioned words attracted the approval of many ministers. The third prince is really for the country and the people. Even if he has not been granted a king or a food city, he will not hesitate to take out his own Kaifu silver!

The mood of the first Prince and the second prince almost rose and fell with the conversation between the official language Bai and Han lingfu. At the moment, their faces were so gloomy that they could almost drip water. The third prince took out two hundred thousand taels of silver for his country. If they didn't do anything, it would mean that there was no country and no father in their hearts?Even if they are willing to offer silver for military pay, it is only a passive response. I'm afraid the father and the emperor will not remember their good deeds. It means that the filial sons are all left to the third prince.

The emperor nodded his head with satisfaction and laughed, ”good! Sanhuang'er, you have a heart. ” Then he praised the official language Bai, saying, ”comfortable Hou is also considerate!” What we fear most in this March is the shortage of military supplies.

Han lingfu was secretly pleased and said sincerely: ”this is what the children should do.” With a smile to ask the official language white, the tone is gentle, but the eyes can not hide the provocative meaning, ”an Yihou, do not know if you have the third?”

Naturally, the smell of gunpowder in his words could not be concealed from the wise man. However, no one thought that the official language Bai nodded and said mildly, ”there are three.”

Han lingfu's face almost froze, but he could only say: ”please give me your advice!”

Official language white than a finger, slowly way: ”please the emperor give minister a incense time.”

After the emperor answered, there was an internal servant to prepare the incense.

Then, the official said, ”please arrange a guard to test the crossbow with only one incense stick.”

What kind of medicine is sold in white gourd in official language? Han Ling Fu felt a little uneasy in his heart. He winked, and immediately a minister jumped out and said, ”Lord of ease, what are you doing in front of the emperor?”

The official language Bai is not moved to say: ”the emperor, whether it is a mystery, just give the minister a incense time, it can be seen.”

The emperor looked at the official language deeply for a moment and said, ”well, I will trust you once.”

All the people are staring at the official language white, do not understand the meaning of this incense stick.

Soon, a guard of the imperial forest army stepped forward to obey the orders, and he was told by the official language that he would shoot the arrow with the crossbow repeatedly for a moment, until a stick of incense could be stopped.

That's it!?

It was not only the royal guard who couldn't believe his ears, but other people around him were shocked and looked at each other.

The guards of the imperial guards confirmed with the official yubai again, and they were ordered to test fire.

”Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh... ”

The iron arrow shot out again and again, and each arrow was as fast as lightning. At first, it might be a little fresh, but soon the monotonous scene almost boring made everyone tired.

Duke Liu whispered in the emperor's ear and suggested, ”the emperor, why don't you wait in the palace?”

The emperor's brow moved, still hesitated, and saw Wei Yang Hou's hand arched and said, ”please allow the emperor to supervise the inspection here!”

The emperor took a look at it, then burned less than one-third of the incense, then nodded.

Since the emperor entered the hall of Supreme Harmony, other people naturally entered the hall with great momentum, including the official language Bai.

Seeing that Guan yubai didn't intend to stay outside the hall and wait for the crossbow test, Han lingfu had to follow the others into the hall of supreme harmony.

According to the process of the birthday banquet, the fifth prince, the sixth Prince and other clansmen continued to offer birthday gifts to the emperor. However, at the moment, the emperor was obviously absent-minded and spoke lightly. It seemed that he did not care about the gifts.

Not only the emperor, but also the people were thinking about what happened just now, wondering what kind of tricks Guan yubai was playing. In the next few days, they saw all kinds of eyes shooting at the official language white from time to time. On the contrary, it was Guan yubai, who was the most calm and calm one among them. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him. He tasted wine and ate delicious food gracefully.

The official language Bai is so calm that Han lingfu naturally can't lose to him. He tries hard to talk and laugh, but he always thinks that this time should not be different He glanced out of the hall without a trace.

At this time, a slightly disordered footstep color came from the direction of the gate of the hall. Wei Yang Hou strode into the hall and attracted all the eyes at once. He frowned slightly and his lips pressed into a straight line. As he walked, he took a look at the official language white. That eye was really indescribable, but it made Han lingfu's heart sink.

Do you mean

Han lingfu almost did not dare to go down, said to himself, impossible! He and Trevor should have considered all the problems.

”To the emperor,” the Marquis Weiyang bowed and saluted, ”the crossbow is scattered!” If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes at the scene, he couldn't believe it. The crossbow fell apart!

This sentence made the whole hall shocked, looked at each other, quietly.

Han lingfu stood up and blurted out: ”how can this be possible?”

Wei Yang Hou's face changed slightly, and he was not happy with the third prince's query. Since he was ordered by the emperor to inspect the crossbow, he did not dare to slack off. From the beginning to the end, his eyes never left. Even he hasn't figured out what's going on.

At this time, the guards of the royal forest army who had just tried the crossbow also came in in in a hurry, holding a large wooden tray. On the tray, the crossbow was the crossbow presented by Han lingfu. At the moment, its crossbow arm, crossbow and crossbow mechanism had been scattered, and there was a deep red mark on the guard's face, which seemed to have been hit by the scattered parts.Han lingfu's hand was clenched into a fist on the side of his body, trembling slightly. His heart was occupied by an idea: impossible! Impossible

He could not help but look at the past official language, see the other side of the mouth slightly hook to drink the wine in the cup, as if all this was in his expectation. Han Ling Fu's heart was startled and doubted. Was Guan yubai really capable of foreseeing, or was he bold enough to do something under his father's eyes?

At this time, the internal servant had already presented the tray to the emperor. After the emperor looked closer, his face sank and asked, ”Marquis Weiyang, what is going on here?”

Wei Yang Hou quickly replied: ”when I went back to the emperor, I couldn't understand it. Just as the incense was about to burn out, the crossbow suddenly broke up...” Said, he can't help but look at the official language white one eye, ”perhaps easy hou can solve doubts for the micro minister.” What a terrible time! He had heard the rumor that he had no choice but to laugh at it as a rumor. He never thought that the rumor was not as good as the real one!

The emperor's eyes also turned to the official language white body, the eye examines ground to ask: ”easy Hou, you knew that would be like this?”

This question is probably a common question in the hearts of all the people in the temple.

The official language white stood up and calmly replied: ”back to the emperor, the minister is a mortal, naturally there is no ability to foresee. Just from the experience of Yichen, the design of the crossbow arm and crossbow is quite careless. Although it can barely launch twelve arrows, because the structure of the crossbow is not stable, it will be impacted every time it is launched. During the test firing, Fang caichen faintly felt that the body of the crossbow was too heavy, and the arm of the crossbow swayed violently. I'm afraid it will not last long... ” His lips slightly raised, a school calmly said, ”although this crossbow is difficult to use in the battlefield, but it's really interesting to make. It can be used to play with at leisure.”

The emperor was full of blood because of this crossbow. He wanted to equip the army of Dayu with this kind of crossbow. He thought that this time he could win over Changdi. He even used this new weapon to frighten the barbarians.

Therefore, when the official said that the crossbow was expensive, the Emperor didn't care about it. It was like that even if the barbarians tried to copy the crossbow, they couldn't equip their soldiers in large quantities.

But I don't want to, this is just a dream of incense!

If Guan yubai had not found out this fatal defect, once he had spent a lot of military money to make the crossbow and send it to the battlefield, the crossbows on the soldiers' hands would have been scattered all over the place, which would have been a big joke!

As the saying goes, ”the higher you climb, the heavier you fall.” when the emperor's heart was cold, his eyes turned cold when he looked at Han lingfu. In his heart, he felt that the three emperor's son was too unreliable. He just let man Chao see jokes at his birthday party!

”My father...” Han lingfu knew that this time he was really going to fall in the emperor's heart. His heart was as cold as ice, but he could only keep calm. He said, ”this crossbow has just been developed, and there are still some problems, but the power of the crossbow has been seen by the emperor. The son minister believes that if he improves it again, he can...”

”Let's wait until you improve it.” The emperor coldly interrupted Han Ling Fu.
