Three hundred and seventy-four, the emperor's mind

Li Xingzhou left the Meridian Gate and took the royal carriage home.

After returning home, Gillian and Yue'er had already prepared clothes to protect the cold, as well as warm chicken soup and refreshing fruit wine.

Fruit wine, a new product of the Wangfu, and various tropical fruits transported from the south by the Wangfu ship also greatly increased the yield of fruit wine. However, because of the low alcohol content, fruit wine cannot be preserved as easily as high wine, and its sales location is difficult to expand. It is only sold in Kaiyuan Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, Jingxi Road, and Jingbei Road, and at the farthest to Ningjiang Mansion. Further out, it may change its flavor.

It was drizzling outside the house. Li Xingzhou took a shower, changed his clothes, drank chicken soup, and felt comfortable all over.

When she arrived at the table, Gillian was still writing her new book. Her new book was to collect all kinds of strange stories told to them by Li Xingzhou, and then compile them into a book called the Wangfu Talk Collection. Now, two volumes have been written. After each volume is written, it will be handed over to the people in the Xiaoyuan and Wangfu to read to see where there are typos and typos.

Now all over the palace are all her book fans, and many literate people are copying them.

Although Li Xingzhou can tell stories himself, how could he compile his literary talent into a book? Gillian is the number one talented woman in Kyoto, so there is no need to mention her literary skills. There is no problem with her recording and writing.

Li Xingzhou looked at Gillian who was very interested in writing: "When will I be planning to print and publish a book?" Jingguo already has movable type printing technology, the Royal Bookstore, and there are also book printing merchants in the market, so it is no problem to publish a book.

Gillian's face turned slightly red: "I'll wait until the proofreading error..."

"Hahaha..." Li Xingzhou smiled, sat down beside the little girl, and hugged her waist: "Okay, if you leave, I will be the first to see your husband."

Gillian's face turned redder, she nodded and buried her little head in his chest.

"Prince, I will go with you when I go north this time. I am the most familiar with Jiangzhou." Gillian looked up and said, as if she remembered something.

Li Xingzhou shook his head: "No, Jiangzhou is too chaotic now, I'm not at ease."

"Oh..." Gillian did not retort, leaned her little head against his chest and stopped talking.

The hut was silent for a while, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Li Xingzhou asked.

"No......"

Li Xingzhou shook his head, smiled and pinched her beautiful little face: "I still said no, you, your joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are written on your face. Let's talk to your husband, what's wrong with you?"

Gillian was silent for a while and lowered her head and said, "It's not that she is unhappy, but... I just feel that I don't have it..."

The more Ah Jiao said, the lower her voice was: "Yue'er knows how to make perfume, and those maids with skillful hands were taught by her. Needless to say, Qiu'er would not know how much property would be missing from the royal family. Sister Shiyu is determined, decisive, and proficient in planning. She is the pillar of the royal family, but I... I don't know anything. If my servant asks for advice, she can only agree to a good one. She is a little girl with no power to tie up. Even this time she can't help the prince..."

As Gillian said, shed tears.

Li Xingzhou was both funny and heartbroken, but it was normal to think about it immediately. Isn’t the little girl’s age the most sentimental and sad about spring and autumn?

He smiled and said, "Little girl just likes to think too much." Then he picked him up and put him on his lap: "It's wrong for you to think so. Gillian is not anyone's thing, and she doesn't need to live for anyone. Do what you like, and what you want is what I hope most."

"But... but the prince is my concubine's husband. The husband is the wife's leader, and the wife has changed to the husband to share the worries." Gillian became the face of a little cat.

Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "That's the rule outside."

“The world is the same…”

"The royal palace is different from the world. The world is the world. My palace is the royal palace. There is no such set of rules in the royal palace."

"Prince, this... is a ruthless word, all over the world..." Gillian said in a low voice in fear.

Li Xingzhou held her shoulder and said seriously: "You are my wife, we are a family, so I told you that in the palace, you can do whatever you want, and don't have to think outside."

As he said that, he wiped away the tears from the corner of the girl's eyes: "That is my good wife."

Ajiao nodded with a red face.

Li Xingzhou sighed in his heart that he could not make everyone more relaxed and free, because the restrictions of the times were there, but at least he could slowly influence the people around him.

.........

The plan to go north has been decided, and the royal ship will go north to Jiangzhou in five days.

On the fourth day before departure, the emperor secretly sent the headmaster Fu'an, Fu'an, to deliver the other half of the new army tiger talisman to him.

It means that the new army was allowed to be mobilized. To be honest, although the tiger talisman might have been exposed to the light of his father, Prince Xiao, whom he had never met before, Li Xingzhou was still a little moved when the emperor trusted him so much.

The 15,000-strong army was handed over to his hands, which meant that two halves of the tiger talisman were in his hands, and he could mobilize the new army at will, because he was originally from the Privy Council, and the only one who could restrain the other half of the tiger talisman in the hands of the emperor. Now the emperor handed over the tiger talisman to him.

If he had bad intentions and suddenly mobilized the new army to attack Kaiyuan, there would be only Wudesi and Shangzhi Qinwei Battalion in the city, which would have only more than 2,000 people in total.

Li Xingzhou was grateful, so he almost asked Gillian to write a thank-you form to present to the Secretariat.

However, two days later, Li Xingzhou was glad that he didn't let Gillian write it.

Because the three imperial guards were newly mobilized, the Northwest Daying and the Temporary East Ying outside the city were merged into the Beidaying, just behind the palace, with a force of 100,000. The joint camp began to prepare for the alliance with Jin to attack Liao next year.

No wonder the emperor dared to give him the military talisman, because less than ten miles north of the imperial city, a hundred thousand troops were stationed...

It's really a waste of labor and capital feelings! Li Xingzhou was speechless. He was a little moved. As a result, the emperor was so dark that he had already responded. The 100,000 troops were transferred to Beiying. The distance to the imperial city was closer than to Kaiyuan South Gate. No wonder he could hand over the tiger talisman to himself with confidence.

After all, even if the grandson is born, the emperor will not be completely relieved...

.....

"Stop!" As Yan Shen waved his flag, ten gunmen in different rows stopped shooting and neatly put away the muskets.

"Report the number!"

"No. 1 and three rounds!"

"No. 2 and fourth round!"

"No. 3 and 3 are distributed!"

“…”

"No. 7 and four shots!"

"No. 8, five!"

“…”

After a round of reports, five of the top shooters found in each battalion scored four shots in about one minute, and one even scored five shots!

This was already very fast. Thanks to Zhao Si's improvement, the projectile and gunpowder were integrated into one, and the reloading time of the gun was reduced by at least half.

Now ordinary gunmen in the Divine Machinery Army can basically shoot three shots in one minute, one shot in about twenty seconds, and one shot in top shooters in one minute, four shots in one minute, and one shot in fifteen seconds.

After watching it, Li Xingzhou laughed and waved his hand happily: "If you hit five times, you will be rewarded with ten times, and if you hit four times, you will be two times! Each person will be two hundred words."

Several soldiers were overjoyed and knelt down happily to thank them.

This time when Li Xingzhou went north, he naturally could not take the entire new army with him. He was planning to select two hundred elite musketeers to accompany him, plus two artillery squads and two cannons in case of emergency needs.

The two hundred people selected were very happy, wearing the red and black uniforms of the New Army, each standing upright because they had meat to eat with the prince. This is a truth that everyone in the New Army passed down by word of mouth and experienced by their own children.

With two hundred musketeers and the Xiangjun of Beijing North Road, Li Xingzhou also felt confident.

The biggest thing before going north was the subsequent arrangements for the prince and others. He had already set up the bureau and was waiting for someone to fall in. They thought that going north was their chance, but for Li Xingzhou, this was also an opportunity. The more he was not in the capital, the more he would take it lightly.

Now, he is not the only one who can deal with this kind of struggle in the royal palace, this is his secret weapon.

The specific operation stage will be completed by poetry.

Poetry understands human nature, is meticulous, and has nothing to do with all forces. The most important thing is that because of her humble background, many people will not take her seriously. This is the best situation.
