Hearing this, Su Fengnuan stopped and looked at the emperor.
The emperor looked dignified, obviously the matter to be entrusted to her was very solemn.
Su Fengnuan thought about it, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The rules set by the ancestors of the Southern Qi Dynasty are that women do not get involved in politics. Once they get involved in politics, they will bring disaster to the country. You won't forget, Your Majesty, right? Apart from being able to talk nonsense to you, I can I can't help you any more."
The emperor said in a deep voice, "I don't quite believe the theory that women are involved in politics and harm the country. The princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been in the court for many years. During her involvement in politics, she has never seen the Northern Zhou Dynasty harm the country. On the contrary, she has grown stronger and stronger, and her national power almost surpasses that of the Southern Qi Dynasty."
Su Fengnuan sat down again, looked at the emperor, and said with a smile, "Does the emperor also want me to imitate the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty? To serve the country?" After saying that, she shook her head amusedly, "The Southern Qi is the Southern Qi, and the Northern Zhou is the Northern Zhou. We in the Southern Qi Since ancient times, etiquette has been respected, and the national customs have been like this, men are superior to women. The Northern Zhou Dynasty is different from the Southern Qi Dynasty. Although the status of women is not equal to that of men, they are also honorable."
When Wang Lu heard the words, he immediately shouted, "You're talking nonsense again!" After saying that, he bowed his hands to the emperor, "Your majesty, she is still a little girl, and the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken. The four members of the Su family, father and son, can all be loyal to the country, but only This daughter's family can't do it. She's still a child, it's not a joke."
The emperor said, "I heard what she said today, but now I'm not joking."
Wang Lu was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly said in horror, "Her words are all nonsense and have no factual basis at all. The emperor, the lord, the emperor, must not be trusted."
The emperor looked at Wang Lu and said, "Although it is nonsense, there is some truth to it. Whatever the facts, I will naturally not jump to conclusions because of this, and I will investigate clearly." After finishing speaking, he said, "She is not a child. Well, in your eyes, she is a child, but in Su Che's report to me, she said that in the last battle, she used a series of tricks to seriously injure Bei Zhou's prince Chu Han, so that she was able to severely defeat Bei Zhou's spirit and save his life. I am from the land of Southern Qi."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu immediately said, "She grew up in the General's Mansion, so it's natural that she has some talents in military affairs. But the emperor must not do anything related to politics. Our Southern Qi is indeed different from the Northern Zhou. For a girl like a princess, the spitting stars of Yushitai can drown her."
The emperor lowered his face when he heard the words, and said to Wang Lu, "Although what I asked her to do for the country is very important, it is not considered political. You don't have to be so frightened."
Wang Lu looked at the emperor when he heard the words, "Then... what does the emperor want her to do?"
The emperor looked at Su Fengnuan and said, "You just said that since there are ready-made samples in front of you, why can't the military of the Southern Qi Dynasty be used? This is the most reasonable thing to say. I plan to leave this matter to you, starting immediately , ordered people to transform the bow and crossbow weapons of the Southern Qi Dynasty."
Su Fengnuan was taken aback, she didn't expect that the emperor wanted to entrust her with such an important matter
Wang Lu was also stunned, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, military weapons are a big deal, how can we entrust them to her? How can she do well?"
The emperor said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate this little girl. She can set up a series of schemes to defeat Bei Zhou, seriously injure Bei Zhou's prince Chu Han, and kill Concubine Yue Gui with ten strokes. Then she can take over the weapon manufacturing business. "
Wang Lu still said, "She is a daughter's family, and there are no rules. If she..."
The emperor waved his hand to stop Wang Lu from saying any more, and sighed, "Wang Aiqing, who is full of civil and military affairs in the court, can make me believe that there are not many people." Loyalty, if it is true as the little girl guessed, the barren mountain fief is used to raise war horses and private soldiers, then there will be external and internal troubles, and our Southern Qi will be in danger."
Wang Lu lost his voice when he heard the words.
The emperor said again, "Twelve years ago, King Rong An, his concubine and a group of generals and soldiers died in battle. Twelve years later, Ye Chang broke the case of the noble concubine Yue and implicated the old case of that year and the case of the Lingshan plague four years ago. Not to mention the old case twelve years ago, I was vaguely aware of it, but I was unable to investigate it thoroughly. I only said that I had never heard of the Lingshan plague four years ago. , before I find out, who can I trust?"
Wang Lu also sighed secretly, and was speechless again.
The emperor said again, "Ye Chang blocked my slap, and is now seriously injured. The golden autumn scientific examination has not yet arrived, and the court has not yet added new people. The only thing I can use now is the little girl. General Su and his two sons Stationed at the border, the third son Su Qing Congwen, the weapon matter cannot be handed over to him. I think it is appropriate to hand it over to the little girl. Over the years, she has had private contacts with Ye Chang, and I don't even know about it. If she hides something , with her intelligence and spirit, she should be able to do it! What's more, no one would have imagined that I ordered her to make weapons secretly, so if I leave it to her, there should be no leaks and nothing will go wrong."
Wang Lu looked at Su Fengnuan upon hearing this, "Can you do it?"
Su Fengnuan thought for a while and said, "I can supervise the production, but the emperor can't just talk about it. You must give me someone to manufacture crossbows in large quantities, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. I can't do it alone. First of all, we need It is impossible for me to search for blacksmiths all over the world. I must let the military craftsmen of the Military Supervision and Nufang Office listen to me. In addition, I need to give me a place, for example, where is the forbidden area of the royal family, so I can use it. It’s best if it can be kept secret. As for other things, if I have needs and requests at any time, the emperor must satisfy me. Then, I can make this weapon and satisfy the emperor.”
The emperor heard the words and said, "Okay, as long as you can do it, I will agree to you."
Su Fengnuan did not expect that the emperor would hand over this matter to her so easily. Her father was in charge of millions of soldiers and horses, and she took over the production of crossbow arrows. , the whole Su family, it can be said that they have won the king's heart, which shows the emperor's trust in the Su family.
Because of this trust, she must also do a good job in this matter.
What's more, weapons are a big deal. Once such ingenious crossbows are used in military affairs, they will directly affect the border war. It is related to her father, so she can't take it lightly.
It seems that the days that I have just been comfortable for two days are over again!
Su Fengnuan looked at Fengyang, the emperor issued this secret order to her, did not avoid Fengyang, and obviously wanted to entrust him with important use. She said to the emperor, "Young Master Feng's injury is not as serious as Ye Chang's. He has been in hospital for a few days, and if he takes another three to five days, it will be almost the same."
Feng Yang glanced at Su Fengnuan, but said nothing.
The emperor nodded and said to Fengyang, "The Longyan order and Fengxing order were originally tokens exchanged between the royal family and the Fengyang bodyguard bureau. They are still valid as far as I am concerned. These years, your Fengyang bodyguard bureau has been doing horse business with the King of Xiangjun. The friendship is deep, but I believe that the Fengyang Security Bureau will not participate in the internal affairs of the King of Xiangjun, so I will leave it to you to investigate the assassination of the King of Xiangjun and the Ye Family Master, and investigate thoroughly in secret. Can you be embarrassed? "
Fengyang glanced at Su Fengnuan, and said, "Checking this is no more difficult than making crossbows and arrows. Fengyang dare not shirk it. The emperor entrusted me with such an important matter because he trusted Fengyang's bodyguard bureau and me. Fengyang is honored." After a pause, he said, "However, in the past two months, the Fengyang Security Bureau has been severely damaged. Many bridge lines have been cut off. If we investigate this matter, it may not be easy."
The emperor said, "I also know it's not easy, I will transfer Qingwuwei to ten of you." Then he said, "If it's really difficult, you can go to Rong'an Palace to find Ye Chang. Your brain is not bad, maybe it can help you a little bit."
Feng Yang nodded when he heard the words, "In that case, I will obey the order."
The emperor nodded, and said to Su Fengnuan and Fengyang, "When I return to the palace later, I will send someone to send a secret decree to you two. These two important matters need to be started as soon as possible."
Su Fengnuan and Fengyang looked at each other and nodded together.
The emperor patted Wang Lu on the shoulder, "It is true that I haven't called the feudal princes from all over the world to Beijing together for many years. It is possible to call the feudal princes from all over the country to Beijing to gather together during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I can also take this opportunity to see. Is the feudal king still the same as before?"
Wang Ludao, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is less than half a month away. The time is rushing, which inevitably arouses suspicion." After finishing speaking, he said, "I remember that the Empress Dowager's birthday is one month after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't we postpone this matter to the Empress Dowager's birthday?" In the name of the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, the vassal princes from all over the world were called to Beijing."
The emperor nodded, "That's fine. Although it's been delayed, the name change is justified." After finishing the sentence, he said, "I remember that the birthday of the queen mother is only three days away from the birthday of Ye Chang. The birthday of the queen mother is before, and he is behind. Bring him into the palace to celebrate his birthday with the Empress Dowager in advance, this year, with so many events in the autumn, I want to celebrate it for the purpose of celebrating this year's recession, so the Empress Dowager's birthday will be celebrated when it comes, and it will be serialized with Ye Chang's birthday for three days."
Wang Ludao, "Ye Shizi was orphaned since he was a child, and now he has suffered disaster for the emperor. He can afford the emperor's reward for his kindness. The officials will not say much."
The emperor nodded, "Then this matter is settled like this. After I return to the palace, I will draw up a plan and announce it to the world. I will call the vassal princes from all over the country to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday in a month and a half. By the way, I will express my love for the monarch and my ministers."
Wang Lu nodded.
The emperor made up his mind on this matter and did not stay any longer, so he set off to return to the palace.
Feng Yang said warmly to Su Feng, "I never expected that the emperor would entrust you with the task of making weapons. Are you sure you can hide from everyone around Beijing and secretly make crossbows?"
Su Fengnuan said, "If I'm the only one, I can't do it. But the emperor entrusts me to dispatch all the weapons and weapons supervision department. Although it's difficult, it can be done naturally."
Feng Yang looked at her, "Have you ever thought about it, the emperor trusts the Su family so much that even your daughter's family will be of use to you, entrusting such secret matters to you. Is this beneficial to the Su family?"
