Chapter 11 The Stone of Destiny!

The truth is far from what he said. Of course he didn't encounter it when he was playing in the palace, but the Tang Dynasty did have chariots and crossbows.

As long as his memory is used and slightly modified, it can be applied in the military on a large scale.

Moreover, he knew that there was a person in the Tang Dynasty who already had the relevant physiognomy.

"In addition, it is not impossible for infantry to fight against cavalry."

Li Taiyi paused and then said:

"As long as we use the appropriate terrain, formations, and some large shields, we are not invincible! If my father trusts me and I am willing to try my best, it may be able to help the situation in Datang."

After hearing this, Emperor Tang's eyes couldn't help but change when he looked at Li Taiyi.

"I recruited several princes, including your second brother, but I still didn't get the answer I wanted. Wei Yuanzhong said that you have the talent of a general, but I didn't believe it yet, but now I have to believe it."

Soon, Emperor Tang looked at Li Taiyi happily and said.

"My father is so ridiculous. My son is just doing his little bit for the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Li Taiyi's eyes flashed with joy and even some surprise.

Emperor Tang asked several princes this question, which he never expected.

What he didn't expect even more was that Wei Yuanzhong would praise himself as a general and prime minister in front of Emperor Tang. You know, he didn't praise others easily!

"Xuan'er, since you have an idea, I will leave it to you to handle the crossbow and related matters."

"yes!"

Li Taiyi bowed and accepted the order.

Just when Li Taiyi turned to leave, he suddenly heard a cough in his ear.

"Father..."

Li Taiyi looked shocked, but before he could say anything, Tang Huang directly waved his sleeves and signaled to leave.

"Yes, I am resigning!"

Li Taiyi bowed to the ground, turned and left the hall.

Emperor Tang looked at Li Taiyi's leaving figure and said,

As if speaking to himself, and as if speaking to Li Taiyi, he murmured in a low voice:

"Time is running out!"

…

"How did you do what I ordered you to do a few days ago?"

Returning to the Jade Dragon Palace in a bronze carriage, Li Taiyi immediately recruited Gao Lishi.

"Back to Your Highness, because they were afraid of wasting steel materials, those old craftsmen made a wooden crossbow. After testing, it can shoot three arrows at a time."

Gao Lishi bowed.

Hearing this, Li Taiyi nodded.

In his previous life, Li Taiyi accidentally obtained a drawing of a crossbow. After research, he found that the crossbow was a very lethal weapon, so he secretly made it in order to fight against the barbarians.

But unfortunately, before he could build it, it was discovered and destroyed by the barbarians.

So as early as Li Taiyi woke up for the first time in this world, he began to prepare to make a crossbow.

In addition, at the end of the world, he was the only one who made the crossbows by himself, and the efficiency was extremely slow. But now the Tang Dynasty is the peak age of craftsmen, with many talents, so he summoned many skilled craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty to perfect the crossbows for him.

Gao Lishi followed his instructions and found some craftsmen to start making crossbows.

During this Spring Rain Banquet, Li Taiyi thought that if Datang still negotiated and handed over important territories after he proposed the Yinshan Fortress, he would be able to test the performance of the first batch of crossbows that had been made.

——He will never let the Turkic prince take away the agreement documents alive. But looking at the current situation, there should be no need for him to take action.

"Very good! In addition, according to my order, you go to the Ministry of Industry to get a few experienced craftsmen, and go to study and make crossbows with those old masters. The most important thing is to find someone named Zhan? people."

Li Taiyi continued.

It was Zhan Xi who greatly improved the crossbow during this era, but his talent was not recognized. At this time, his invention had not yet been reused and applied on a large scale.

With his help and his own memory, he should be able to develop a military crossbow suitable for the battlefield as quickly as possible.

"yes!"

Gao Lishi was startled at first, but soon his eyes shone brightly and he responded quickly:

The authority of the Ministry of Works has always been in the hands of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and he can dispatch people from the Ministry of Works. This shows that His Highness has regained the attention of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and even handed over the Ministry of Works, one of the six ministries, to His Highness.

Gao Lishi was happy for Li Taiyi from the bottom of his heart.

"By the way, has anything happened in the palace recently?"

Li Taiyi sat behind the desk and asked while taking "Spring and Autumn" to read.

Li Taiyi seldom interfered with the affairs of the palace and had little to do with politics, so he left everything to Gao Lishi. If there was any important news, he would report it. If not, there would be less things to worry about.

"In addition to the recent discussion of the Turkic peace talks, there is indeed one more thing."

When Gao Lishi saw Li Taiyi taking the pen, he immediately bowed to the desk, grinding ink and said:

"Early years ago, there was a young servant who was executed for making various cruel instruments of torture, using methods such as extorting confessions, and arbitrarily fabricating charges to cause death. His ministers and clan members were wrongfully killed, and thousands of their families were exterminated, so he was executed. . But the accusations of injustice have not been vindicated, so many people in the court hope to conduct a review and redress the injustices of those who were slandered. At first, even the wise prime minister, Lord Yao, remonstrated, but His Majesty did not allow it."

"A few days ago, the Second Prince requested a detailed review of the servant Shaoqing and others who had been imprisoned to avenge his injustice. Your Majesty granted his permission and handed it over to an official who had just joined the court."

"The point is, just today, that official was impeached by Mr. Zheng. I heard that he was put on death row because of dereliction of duty in the case of unjust imprisonment. Xiao Huangmen of the Hall of Supreme Harmony said that the official seemed to be Because they just released some people and then took them back, and even arrested a few more people.”

Hearing this, Li Taiyi's brows suddenly raised slightly.

He had heard of this incident in his previous life, but this incident was to avenge an injustice, so it did not have much impact on the direction of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Li Taiyi remembered that this incident did not happen during this period, and he was responsible for it. He is not a new official who joined the court, but a supervisory censor.

Obviously, because Li Chengyi affected two things in one month, the world line has changed slightly.

And according to what Gao Lishi said, this was the second prince's plea to have him imprisoned, and later Master Zheng impeached him. Li Chengyi had many aides in prison... Obviously, this matter was the second prince Li Chengyi's attempt to get rid of his unjust imprisonment. , fished out some people, but they didn't expect that a small official would ruin the good thing, and even got some people arrested.

"It's really a waste of money."

Involuntarily, Li Taiyi shook his head, smiled secretly, and said nothing more. He then dipped his pen in ink and drew something. Soon, a new crossbow design appeared on the paper.

"Send this new picture over!"

Li Taiyi blew the ink on the paper, then handed it to Gao Lishi.

"yes!"

Gao Lishi accepted it and was about to leave when Li Taiyi picked up the "Spring and Autumn" on the table and asked casually:

"By the way, which You Bu Que made my father so angry today?"

"Haha, I heard from my father-in-law that he seems to be new here. He doesn't understand the rules and doesn't know anything. He just talked nonsense and wrote a book with ten thousand words. By the way, it seems that his name is Wang Jiuling."

Gao Lishi thought for a moment and said.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, when he heard this name, Li Taiyi was shocked, raised his head suddenly, and his expression changed.

Wang Jiuling!

Li Taiyi never expected that it was him!

This name was not unfamiliar to him. In his memory, Wang Jiuling was a famous literary general in the Tang Dynasty. He was both literary, Taoist and military. He was quite dazzling even in this entire era.

He criticized the current situation in the court and was impassioned. He had extremely keen insights into the trends of the Tang Dynasty, China, and the entire world.

He had long been aware of the powerful threat posed by barbarians in the grasslands to the Tang Dynasty, and had a premonition of the decline and even the crisis of destruction in the Middle Kingdom. He even once loudly advocated reforming the old and welcoming the new, and reforming various systems of the Tang Dynasty, including Military system, agricultural system, tax system, legal system, etc.

In Li Taiyi's memory, many of this man's opinions were exactly the same as his own, and they were surprisingly accurate.

It's a pity that many of this man's suggestions were not taken seriously at the time.

In the history books, his name has never left a too bright light.

——While guarding the border with Northern Tibet, he was framed. During a fierce battle with the Turks, he was attacked from both sides by the Turks and Uzang and died on the battlefield.

After him, there were no more dazzling figures in the Tang Dynasty, and its national power quickly declined. More than ten years later, it suffered successive defeats and serious losses. From then on, the Tang Dynasty came to its demise.

"Your Highness?"

Just when Li Taiyi was lost in thought, Gao Lishi spoke up and recalled Li Taiyi's thoughts.

Li Taiyi blinked and came back to his senses. Then he solemnly ordered Gao Lishi:

"After sending this new drawing over, help me arrange a meeting with Wang Jiuling."

"yes!"

Although Gao Lishi was a little confused and didn't understand why His Highness arranged to meet with You Buque, who had made a mistake, he knew that His Highness must have his reasons, so he immediately agreed.

After everything was arranged, Li Taiyi screened away the maids and eunuchs in the Jade Dragon Palace, sat cross-legged on the red sandalwood bed inlaid with gold and dragons, and began to practice.

The weak eat the strong!

Might is truth!

In this world, wisdom alone is not enough, you must also have strong force!

In the palace, Bubu Jingxin realized that only strong force could prevent attacks from other princes at any time, and..., if he wanted to ascend the dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he must also have absolute power in this palace. !

In the following days, Li Taiyi continued to practice in addition to his external affairs. Today, the unknown black hole in his body has not absorbed as much spiritual energy as before.

Li Taiyi vaguely understood in his heart that soon, he would be able to fill this unknown black hole, and as long as it was filled, he would be able to break through!

As time passed slowly, the spiritual power in Li Taiyi's body became stronger and stronger, and the light became brighter and brighter.

"Buzz!"

Just when Li Taiyi frowned and tried his best to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, suddenly, as if a blessing came to his soul, Li Taiyi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Where is this?"

In an instant, Li Taiyi suddenly found himself in an endless void.

The darkness was endless, there was no sound, and there seemed to be no life except him.

Just when Li Taiyi's eyes were blank, a light suddenly appeared in the middle of the darkness, attracting Li Taiyi's attention.

"It's that light!"

Feeling the aura of light, Li Taiyi's heart tightened and he immediately recognized it.

This light was none other than the light that continuously absorbed Li Taiyi's spiritual power in his body.

But in just an instant, this light has increased a hundred times, turning into a bright light as big as a mountain peak, and finally turned into a star.

"What the hell is it?"

Looking at the stars in front of him, with mysterious power exuding from his body, Li Taiyi suddenly felt doubtful.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, a cold voice without any emotion immediately appeared in Li Taiyi's mind:

"The Stone of Destiny!"

Buzz, like a meteorite falling into the lake, causing thousands of ripples, changes appeared before Li Taiyi's eyes again.

In an instant, all kinds of phantoms flew past his eyes.

The Spring Rain Feast, the thunderous change, the Tang Dynasty quickly weakened after its defeat, and became a subordinate of the Yi and Di..., and finally reached the dark moment that Li Taiyi was most familiar with, leaving only a corner of China!

All kinds of things emerge one by one.

In an instant, Li Taiyi's eyes were bloodshot, his hands were clenched tightly, and the blood all over his body was pouring out. Even though he knew that everything in front of him was just an illusion, Li Taiyi still couldn't help but feel guilty recalling the past events, the sad fate and the ant-like life. Moved by it.

"boom!"

The vision in front of him kept changing until..., a "meteor" finally hit him and Qing Luo.

"This this……?!"

For a moment, Li Taiyi's eyes widened, he was stunned, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.

After so long, Li Taiyi had long forgotten how he came to this world, but now, he did not expect that he would see the culprit in this situation and in such a situation.

"All of this is indeed related to it!"

Li Taiyi murmured to himself, in a daze. Long before, Li Taiyi had vague guesses, but now it was confirmed before him, and his heart was extremely complicated.
