Misfortune is the basis of good fortune, and blessing is the basis of bad fortune.

Just as Chang'an City was shrouded in a peaceful atmosphere, news came out of the palace unexpectedly.

"Prince, you can basically confirm that Your Majesty is really ill."

In the study, Wang Xuanwu stood in front of Li Kuan and reported the latest inquiry.

"Didn't you all be fine a few days ago? Why did you feel uncomfortable suddenly?"

Li Kuan looked at Wang Xuanwu with some confusion.

Under normal circumstances, when nothing important is happening, Li Kuan would not take the initiative to go into the palace to find Li Shimin.

So many times, he will never see Li Shimin for ten or half a month.

Of course, it is actually very simple to verify whether Li Shimin is really sick this time.

Just find a few people to enter the palace and ask for a visit.

When you meet, you will naturally know everything.

If you can't see it, you'll basically know it.

"I heard that His Majesty was in a good mood a few days ago. He drank a few more drinks, and then was blown by the cold wind and infected with the cold wind. Doctor Sun had been invited to the palace and had not come out so far.

I think this news should be true. However, the specific things in the palace are tightly covered, and we can find out more limitedly.

Prince, I suggest you still need to go to the palace.

Whether it is your concern for Your Majesty or to verify this news, it is very necessary."

Wang Xuanwu is one of the few people beside Li Kuan who knows that Li Kuan is the eldest son, except Cheng Jingwen and Wu Meiniang.

If there is a big problem with Li Shimin's health this time, it will definitely lead to turmoil in the court.

And these changes are likely to be detrimental to the Chu Prince's Mansion.

Some things even need to be considered and dealt with in advance.

"Everyone will feel uncomfortable for a few days all year round. I think your Majesty should be fine this time."

Li Kuan thought that Li Shimin lived until the 23rd year of Zhenguan in history.

Now he has only been in the 20th year of Zhenguan, and he still has at least three years of life.

Could it be that Li Shimin's life has become shorter because of his arrival?

It shouldn't be.

This is also inconsistent with my original plan.

He also thought that by then, with more advanced medicinal materials, Li Shimin could live a few more years.

In this way, he has more time to lay out many things.

If an important change suddenly occurs at this point in time, many things will need to be reconsidered.

"Prince, if it was just a normal physical discomfort, Your Majesty should not have not attended court for two consecutive days, nor would he have kept the news from the palace.

The most important thing is that His Highness the Crown Prince follows His Majesty every day, and Changsun Wuji has been in the Summer Palace these two days.

Considering the recent relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Changsun Wuji, my subordinates think that this matter should be treated with caution."

Obviously, Wang Xuanwu has considered a lot.

However, Li Kuan didn't think so much before.

Now that Wang Xuanwu reminded him, he also had some concerns.

I am not the kind of state where I eat one person and the whole family is not hungry now.

The family is home to the family, and there are a large group of people behind him who are making a living by themselves.

If the banner of the Chu Prince's Mansion fell, there would definitely be a lot of unlucky people.

"Have there been any abnormal movements in the Changsun family these days?"

"If you want to talk about abnormal movements, the most important abnormal movement is that Changsun Wuji has been staying in the Summer Palace these days, and the guards in the Summer Palace have become significantly stricter.

The prince, the Changsun family and the Gao family have too much influence in the court now.

Although their rights have been broken down through reforms, the changes in a short period of time are still very limited.

In recent years, they have also had their own intelligence investigation team and have also raised a group of dead soldiers and guards in many places.

Although Your Majesty may also know about this, he has no intention of interfering.

Once a special situation occurs, it will be very unfavorable to us at that time."

Seeing that Li Kuan's attitude changed a little, Wang Xuanwu immediately reported the situation of the Changsun family more actively.

As the owner of the largest iron smelting workshop in the Tang Dynasty, although the Changsun family's iron smelting workshop was difficult under the suppression of the Chu King's Mansion, it was not difficult to make a batch of weapons in private.

So in Wang Xuanwu's view, the Changsun family poses a great threat to the Chu Prince's Mansion.

Especially now that the Changsun family and the princelings tend to join forces, the situation will be even worse.

The East Miyagi could have three thousand guards, and these people could play a very important role at critical moments.

"I arranged for you to secretly build an underground workshop in the workshop city before. How is the progress now?"

Li Kuan was silent for a moment and asked a more critical question.

Li Kuan was able to let Changsun Wuji be arrogant there with such a heart. He was not worried that Li Zhi would liquidate himself after he came to power. He was also prepared.

Not to mention the overseas territories of Puluo, there are many secrets hidden in the Shufang City alone.

Such a large piece of land was developed by people from the Chu Palace, so it is very simple to hide some secrets.

"According to the plan you gave, the craftsmen have tried three batches of bird guns, and the specifications of the first batch have been basically determined.

But so far, only the bird gun you mentioned have been produced, but the others have not been successfully produced."

The steel technology of the Tang Dynasty has been significantly improved, and its level has definitely reached or even exceeded that of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.

The discovery of gunpowder has been a few years.

Although the prisoner has not thought of many better ways to use gunpowder, it does not mean that Li Kuan also understands it either.

Li Kuan was hesitant to whether to get out the thermal weapon.

However, in the end, he was still planning to create this technology first and secretly make a batch of it, using it as a killer weapon at critical moments.

As for whether to popularize it in the future and how it is popular, it depends on when the time is ripe.

"Select two hundred people from the guards to conduct secret bird gun shooting exercises. At the same time, the revolver I mentioned to you will strive to complete the production within this year.

Bullets can be made of lead bullets, and special steel should be used boldly. The iron smelting workshop is already trying to add various new metals to the steel smelting, and there should be materials suitable for revolvers in it."

Since it is used as a killer weapon, a bird gun alone is definitely not enough.

In terms of close range killing, revolvers still have very unique advantages.

Not to mention anything else, being able to send it continuously is an insurmountable advantage.

Such an iron lump is stuffed into your arms and can kill several people at critical moments.
