At this time.
When they heard this, they were completely dumbfounded.
They knew about the cannon, but now they saw it was real. Didn't that mean …
Furthermore, the sound of the cannon blast was enough to blow up the entire Yangxin Palace Hall. Although he didn't know what happened, he knew that the entire Yangxin Palace Hall must have been destroyed.
Was this really the cannon that Zhang Feng said?
They had heard Zhang Feng talk about this thing before, but now, the key was that it seemed a little too incredible.
If one cannon was so powerful, did it mean that the ten cannons Zhang Feng prepared this time were enough to pacify the more than 300,000 allied troops?
Therefore, at this time, the few of them were staring at the thing wrapped in red cloth with burning eyes.
Li Shimin didn't want to talk in riddles anymore.
He waved his hand and personally lifted the red cloth.
In an instant, a steel cannon appeared in the East Palace, and it was facing the gate. It looked quite strange and solemn.
The cannon was not very complicated. It was an iron pipe about ten feet long and slightly bigger than a washbasin. There were two big iron wheels under it, and four big iron balls in front and back supported the cannon.
At this time, Li Chengqian introduced the use of each part of the cannon, and then said, "Your Excellency, what do you think of this thing?"
What do you think?
What do you think of this thing?
Was there a need to ask?
It was simply beyond their imagination.
Wei Zheng said with a serious face, "Your Majesty, this thing is good, but when the Crown Prince leaves, won't it be too conspicuous if he takes it with him? And it will definitely attract the covetous eyes of many people. It will do no good to the war in Qiuci! "
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wei is right. I think we should discuss this matter separately. After all, if this thing is leaked out, it will be disadvantageous to the war in the Tang Dynasty. If the 300,000 allied troops attack together, Qiuci will be in danger instantly."
"Moreover, the road in Longyou is long and narrow. People from the Turks often come to sell their sheepskin or goods. It's easy to hide spies among them. We can't do this!"
"If something happens, we can't guard against it. Once they send a small group of elites to rob these armaments, the consequences …"
"Your Majesty."
Wei Zheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider this matter!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I've already thought about this. Those armaments are probably about to reach Liangzhou!"
？？？
Liangzhou?
What's going on?
Li Chengqian said, "Your Excellencies, when Fengzi bought the long and narrow road from Lantian County to Xiao Mountain, we didn't know what he was thinking at that time. Although there were many good fields on both sides of the only road from Xiao Mountain to Lantian County, they were all dry land and useless to buy. However, a few days ago, Fengzi used this place and the foreign merchants at the foot of Xiao Mountain to secretly transport something out. These people didn't even know what it was."
"Hiss!"
Not only Wei Zheng, but also Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin were shocked.
"Your Highness, do you mean that the cannon has been transported out of Chang 'an?"
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Yes! Moreover, it was Arkinnon who persuaded a few merchants who had been in close contact with Xiao Shan and the Chang 'an Tobacco Factory to give me these things. Therefore, even if some people were suspicious about this matter, at this time, because I was going to guard the border, they would give in. Everyone's attention won't be focused on this small caravan. "
Now that he put it that way, it made sense.
But there was a problem.
That was, what about the cannon?
Although those cannons had been transported out, these people were foreigners after all. Therefore, they were the most likely people to betray them most of the time.
After all, one could know a person for a long time without knowing his true intentions.
If such a thing really happened, who could be sure?
Li Chengqian didn't explain much. He just roughly explained the situation of the Yangxin Palace being bombed.
Then Li Shimin said, "I've decided to leave this cannon in the palace in case of accidents. My dear ministers, do you have any questions?"
"No!"
How could they dare to have any objections?
However …
If they were to blow up the palace again, then it would be really fun.
After all, this matter concerned the safety of the palace.
Although he did not know whether that brat could be recreated or not, it was necessary to secretly prepare one at this time. After all, Feng Province and Sheng Province were right above his head. He did not even know what the old mixed hair Tuli was thinking. If by any chance he made a ruthless move, then … this cannon could also produce unexpected results.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Shimin stood up with a smile and said, "This time, Fengzi can be considered to have created a great merit for our Tang Empire. Once we have this thing, Yuchi, do you have the confidence to fight your way to the grasslands?"
"…"
