Chapter eight hundred and fiftieth eight I personally tie you to go
Hou Junji was very irritable.
Ever since he was forced to take on this task in Ganquan Palace, he hasn't had much rest.
I just want to quickly solve the problem of the bed crossbow's insufficient power.
But more than ten days have passed and nothing can be done.
Hou Junji even gave the craftsmen an ultimatum: if they could not solve the problem, they would all be executed.
The craftsmen had no choice but to be scolded by Hou Junji's officials every day.
Now Hou Junji is threatening to execute him, and many craftsmen panicked at that time.
He dragged his family and his family away from Chang'an City overnight.
In one night in the Ordnance Supervision, even a single person disappeared.
The weapons supervisor was panicking and reported the news to Hou Jun.
…
"Your Majesty, today someone from below came to report that the craftsmen from the Ordnance Supervision ran away overnight." The eunuch and the emperor reported the news from below.
"Run away?" The emperor's face turned gloomy at that time.
If he remembered correctly, Hou Junji had promised him that the insufficient power of the bed crossbow would be resolved within half a month.
There are only three days left until half a month, and there is no news about the bed crossbow. The craftsmen from the weapons supervisor have run away?
"That's right, Your Majesty, I heard that Chen Guogong ordered that if the craftsmen cannot solve the problem of bed crossbows, all the craftsmen will be executed."
"The craftsmen were afraid, so they all ran away at night." The eunuch and the emperor explained the news they received.
"Absurd!" the emperor said angrily, and shouted to the eunuchs beside him: "Let Hou Junji come over and give me an explanation."
…
After hearing the news that the craftsmen had escaped, Hou Junji frowned.
He was not worried that the emperor would punish him for this matter.
If execution was just a threat, Hou Junji did not actually carry it out.
Even if the emperor blamed him, the most he could do was reprimand him.
But the bed crossbow issue is still unresolved.
Hou Junji was worried that the emperor would directly let Zhao Chen be in charge of the arms supervision this time.
If that were the case, all his hard work for the past half month would have been in vain.
Hou Junji was unwilling to do so.
In the past half month, he has been thinking about solving the problem of the bed crossbow's insufficient power.
But reality is always cruel. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of any solution.
If I couldn't give the emperor a reasonable explanation, I was afraid that the weapons supervisor would fall into Zhao Chen's hands.
"Master, Your Majesty has sent someone to announce that the master has entered the palace." Hou Junji was worried when he heard the voice of a servant at home coming from outside.
Hou Junji frowned. He had not yet thought of how to explain this to the emperor.
"Just say that I am sick and cannot enter the palace." Hou Junji thought for a moment and said to the servant outside.
He couldn't rush to see the emperor before he thought of a solution.
Otherwise, he would have no way of explaining it.
"Yes!" the servant left in response. After waiting for a while, until there was no movement outside, he opened the door of the study and walked towards the back door of his house.
…
Li Ruoshuang's belly can clearly show that she is pregnant.
Sun Simiao would come over every few days to check on Li Ruoshuang.
Although Zhao Chen is also skilled in medicine, he really doesn't know much about women's pregnancy.
So it would be more reassuring to let Sun Simiao take a look.
In the past ten days or so, Zhao Chen has been living quite comfortably.
I would go to the academy every day, and when I had nothing to do, I would lie in my yard and bask in the sun.
But a free and easy one.
But this carefree and comfortable day was soon broken by the emperor's voice.
The emperor walked into Zhao Chen's yard angrily, without saying a word, and pulled Zhao Chen up from the recliner.
He lay down directly on it.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Chen didn't respond.
This is his Zhao Mansion, why did this guy steal his things so blatantly?
"Old Huang!"
"Old Huang, where did you die?" Zhao Chen and the concierge Lao Huang shouted.
It is very strange that Lao Huang, who has always been playing with the cats and walking the dogs in the Zhao Mansion, has disappeared today.
"Stop shouting, your concierge is not here." The emperor said with his eyes closed.
The brows were tightly knitted together.
It seemed as if he had been greatly wronged.
"What, you still want your concierge to kick me out?" Li Shimin opened his eyes and glanced at Zhao Chen.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Chen looked displeased.
You haven't been here for the past ten and a half days, and as soon as you came, you grabbed your spot.
It can’t be justified no matter what!
"Find you something to do!" The emperor sat up.
"Arms Supervisor?" Zhao Chen said casually.
"How is it? Do you have any ideas?" The emperor was not surprised at all.
I had previously asked Li Ke to come and talk to Zhao Chen about the weapon prison crossbow.
Although these days have passed, this matter has not been resolved.
Zhao Chen could naturally easily guess his purpose.
"Why, the bed crossbow problem has not been solved, so you came to me for help?" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with a smile.
Lao Litou was a little surprised.
Before he came here, he was thinking that if he talked to Zhao Chen about the bed crossbow again, Zhao Chen would lose face with him.
So he was prepared to be attacked by Zhao Chen.
But now it seems that Zhao Chen is very interested in this thing.
In this way, we should be able to solve this problem easily today!
"Yes, are you interested? If possible, I..."
"Not interested." Zhao Chen waved his hand to interrupt the emperor's unfinished words, and then continued:
"You don't usually burn incense, but you think of me when something happens?"
"Are you coming empty-handed?"
"Even if I teach in the academy, students who are celebrating the holidays still know how to give gifts or something."
"Is it appropriate for you, Mr. Li, to come here empty-handed every time?"
"Why, the emperor can use nothing to defeat the wolf?"
"I just want to..."
"Hey, don't ask me to supervise the Ordnance Supervision. The Ordnance Supervision is under the Ministry of War and is under the control of Hou Junji."
"Do you want me to help you kill Hou Junji or something?" Zhao Chen blocked the emperor's words again.
What does the emperor mean by this?
He just thought that the weapons inspector's bed crossbow cost the treasury 500,000 yuan, so it couldn't be wasted like this.
Maybe Zhao Chen can go take a look and solve this problem?
If possible, it would be okay to squeeze more of Zhao Chen's abilities.
After all, Zhao Chen also created a lot of things in the academy.
If he could come up with some tricks in the weapons inspection, wouldn't the strength of the Tang army be even stronger?
How could I have thought about letting Zhao Chen kill Hou Junji?
However, the emperor also heard from Zhao Chen's words that Zhao Chen was full of murderous intentions towards Hou Junji.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have said such words.
"I spent half a million guan on the weapons supervisor's bed crossbow. If I can't solve this problem, the 500,000 guan will be wasted..."
"That has nothing to do with me. If you can give me half of the money if I help you solve the bed crossbow problem, then you should consider it!" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor and said with a smile.
How could the emperor have so much money to give to Zhao Chen?
"Money, money, money, you know money, or what will you do with too much money?"
"If I can come up with so much money, what else do I need from you?"
"You have to go today. If you don't go, I will tie you up myself!" the emperor said angrily.
He took out a rope from somewhere and rushed towards Zhao Chen.?
