Chapter 208 I'm going too?

"Does the eldest lady still refuse to see me?" Outside the Chuigong Hall, Li Zhang asked Luo Chongxun in front of him with a helpless look on his face. As the most trusted eunuch around Liu E, Luo Chongxun is now in full bloom. Especially after Lei Yungong was beaten to death by sticks, he became the number one eunuch in the palace. Usually, even if Wang Qinruo saw him, he would respect him three points.

"Haha~, Li Bandu, you'd better go back. The Empress Dowager is in a bad mood during this period. She may be willing to see you after a while!" Luo Chongxun replied with a smile at this time, which made Li Zhang very helpless, because every time he came to see Liu E, he was stopped by Luo Chongxun, and now he has been four or five times.

"Okay, since the eldest lady refuses to see me, I will say goodbye!" Li Zhang had to salute again and said. Although he could enter and exit the palace at any time, he still needed to report in advance if he wanted to see Liu E, especially in places like Chuigong Hall. But I don't know what Liu E was thinking during this period, but he just refused to see him?

Seeing Li Zhang turn and leave, Luo Chongxun also entered the Chuigong Hall. Liu E was lying on the desk and reviewing the memorials. When she heard Luo Chongxun's footsteps, she asked without raising her head: "Are you leaving?"

"Let's go!" Luo Chongxun bent over and came to Liu E to report the report.

"How did you check the last time?" Liu E asked again.

"You have reported to the Grandmaster, but no doubts were found." Luo Chongxun replied in a panic. Although he was the number one confidant around Liu E, he has become increasingly majestic since Liu E took over the power. Even he had to serve him carefully, for fear that he would accidentally cause a murder like Lei Yungong.

"Bad!" Liu E finally put down the pen in her hand and then spit out two words. As a result, Luo Chongxun was so scared that his whole body trembled. He immediately fell down and apologized: "I am not good at doing things, please punish me!"

Liu E's pair of phoenix eyes were also staring at Luo Chongxun with a little anger, but in the end she did not get angry anymore. Instead, she calmed down and said lightly: "Get up, keep a close eye on the other side from now on. If anything goes wrong, I will come to see you!"

"Yes, thank you Empress!" Luo Chongxun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then got up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. With Zhao Heng's death, he now increasingly realized the meaning of the sentence "Accompanying the king is like a tiger".

"Empress, then Li Pai is reading there..." At this time, Luo Chongxun thought of Li Zhang again and asked again with courage. He sometimes felt a headache for Li Zhang, a special character. The most important thing is that he is increasingly unable to figure out what Liu E thinks, so he dare not guess Li Zhang's affairs without authorization.

"Let him go for it first. This kid is too sensible. If he doesn't suppress it, he may go to heaven!" Liu E said angrily when she mentioned Li Zhang, but Luo Chongxun realized that Liu E was not really angry with Li Zhang, which made him envious. He had done so many things for Liu E, but he was not as good as Li Zhang's position in Liu E's heart. He was really more angry than others.

At the same time, Li Zhang left the Chuigong Hall and went to Jingfu Hall to find Zhao Zhen. As soon as Zhao Zhen saw him, he immediately asked, "Why, the eldest lady still refuses to see you?"

"Yes, have you found out any news?" Li Zhang said dejectedly at this time. Liu E refused to see him. At first, he didn't feel anything. He thought Liu E was busy with government affairs, but later he felt something was wrong, so he also consulted Zhao Zhen and asked him to inquire to see if there was any misunderstanding.

"No, the day before yesterday, I mentioned you cousin in front of the eldest lady, but the eldest lady praised you a few times, and there was nothing unusual at all." Zhao Zhen also spread his hands at this time.

Zhao Zhen almost had a gap with Liu E because of the year issue. However, thanks to Li Zhang's persuasion, he realized that the most important thing now is not to fight against Liu E, but to wait patiently for himself to grow up. Therefore, he gave up his prejudice and returned to his former harmony with Liu E.

"That's strange. I came here this time to go to the border for the musket camp. Could it be that the eldest lady thought this was inappropriate, so she didn't want to see me?" Li Zhang said to himself with some doubts again.

"It shouldn't be. The day before yesterday, the aunt told me about muskets, saying that if muskets perform well on the battlefield, the army is also preparing to promote them on a large scale. After all, muskets are much easier to train than archers, so the aunt should not oppose musket camps to go to actual combat, right?" Zhao Zhen retorted again.

"By the way, did you cousin, what did you do that made the eldest lady unhappy, so she deliberately ignored you and asked you to reflect on yourself? When I did something wrong before, the eldest lady had treated me like this." Zhao Zhen asked again at this time.

"What can I do to provoke..." Li Zhang immediately wanted to deny it when he heard Zhao Zhen's words, but as soon as he said this, his whole body suddenly froze and his face turned slightly pale, because he suddenly remembered that he did something on his back, that was to take Zhao Zhen to see Li Shunrong. However, so many days have passed, and Liu E has not moved, so he himself has almost forgotten about this.

"What's wrong with you, cousin? You can't really do something that angered the eldest lady?" Zhao Zhen also saw that Li Zhang's expression was wrong at this time, and he couldn't help but ask again.

"No, how is that possible? I just thought of an urgent matter that I forgot to do, so I won't stay with you!" Li Zhang forced himself to hold on, and after saying that, he immediately said goodbye and left. Zhao Zhen couldn't keep it even if he wanted to.

After Li Zhang left Jingfu Palace, his face immediately became gloomy. If nothing unexpected happened, Liu E might have doubted that she had brought Zhao Zhen to see Li Shunrong, so she used this method to remind herself not to do too much.

"No, she shouldn't know that I already knew that Li Shunrong was my aunt's business. If I was messing around now, I would remind her that I already knew about this. So for me, the best way is to pretend that I didn't know anything!" Li Zhang suddenly woke up again and whispered to himself in a low voice.

Although Liu E knew that Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen went to see Li Shunrong, Li Zhang did this matter very carefully and did not leave any beginning or end at all. So Liu E was probably just feeling uncomfortable. Even if she sent someone to check, she couldn't find anything. Li Zhang was still confident in this regard.

However, although Liu E couldn't find anything, she could test Li Zhang through this method. If Li Zhang was really messed up, it would be a way to not make any moves. After figuring this out, Li Zhang finally felt a little relieved. Liu E was unhappy and at most she would wear her own little shoes. At worst, she could only go a few more trips with shame. He didn't believe that Liu E would refuse to see him.

In the next few days, Li Zhang had to go to the Chuigong Hall almost every day. Although he was rejected every time, he didn't care at all. Speaking of it, when he was in a salesperson in his previous life, he had already developed a face-breaking experience, and being turned away was common, so the test Liu E gave him was nothing at all.

Early that morning, Li Zhang entered the palace early as usual, and then went to Chuigong Hall to ask for instructions. He thought he would still be rejected like before, but he didn't expect that Luo Chongxun would come out with a smile and said, "Li Pao, the Queen Mother finally has time to see you!"

"Thank you, Luo, all of you!" Li Zhang was also very happy when he heard this. Luo Chongxun now replaced Lei Yungong as the introspective knowledge and truly became the top leader of the eunuch.

Luo Chongxun immediately said a few words of politeness, and then personally led Li Zhang into the hall. He saw that Liu E was still reviewing memorials as usual. Speaking of which, as long as it was in the Chuigong Hall, Li Zhang would review memorials every time he saw her, and there were always a pile of memorials like a hill on the desk in front of him.

"See the Grandma!" Li Zhang came to Liu E and immediately saluted, without any complaints about Liu E not seeing her before.

"Get up, I heard that your musket camp wants to go to the frontier to participate in actual combat, are you confident?" Liu E asked without raising her head at this time. Although she had not seen Li Zhang before, she said Li Zhang's purpose at this time, which was actually reminding Li Zhang that his every move was under his own surveillance.

"Your Majesty, the musket camp has been trained. Only after actual combat can you see the power of the musket on the battlefield!" Li Zhang nodded at this time, as if he had no idea what Liu E meant.

"If it weren't for the time when you built the musket before, the real training time for your musket camp was only half a year. Can you train a qualified musketman in such a short time?" Liu E asked at this time.

It will take at least a few years to train a qualified archer in the Song Dynasty, because archers are a military force that combines strength and technology. The training of mental strength alone takes a long time, not to mention that the archery technique is more complicated. The operation of the flintlock rifle is already complicated enough, but compared to the various technical key points when archery, muskets are actually much simpler.

"Don't worry, the short training time is also one of the advantages of musketeers. Moreover, the soldiers under Hu Yan Shouxin had been practicing for a long time before, and they were excellent soldiers themselves, so it was easier for them to operate muskets." Li Zhang explained again at this time.

Liu E didn't know much about military affairs, and after hearing Li Zhang's words, he nodded and said, "Okay, since you are so confident, then I will issue an order. The musket camp will be transferred to Huanqing Road. There has been no peace there, and it will be easier for you to participate in the training there!"

"All of us?" Li Zhang was stunned when he heard Liu E's words, and then he couldn't help but say with a bitter face, "Master, don't you want me to go too?"
