Ang Lee quietly watched the three babies fall asleep. He waited for nearly an hour, but Yan Ruyu didn't come back. He was curious, so he walked to the bathroom.
From afar, he could hear the laughter coming from inside. This piqued Li An's curiosity, and he strode over. "Alang, Madam and Prince Guichang …"
The two maids at the door whispered the situation.
"Well, you can leave."
Li An waved his hand and dismissed the two maids. Then, he quietly walked to the door and pushed it open a crack to take a look.
In the bathroom, Yan Ruyu and Zhao Yefu were lying on the rocking chair and chatting happily. Their clothes were very thin. It was obvious that they had just finished bathing. The table next to them was full of delicious food. Man Man, who was wearing thin pajamas, was eating heartily. She was eating happily.
It turned out that when Yan Ruyu and Zhao Yefu entered the bathroom, Zhao Yefu suddenly asked to take a bath in the bathroom to experience the feeling of a new bathroom. Yan Ruyu had to accompany her.
After the two went down to the bath, they gradually became familiar with Man Man who was taking a bath. They introduced each other and talked about their situation.
After hearing that Man Man hadn't eaten for a long time, Yan Ruyu immediately decided to let the kitchen bring the food to the outer room of the bathroom. In this way, Man Man could chat and eat at the same time. It was also convenient for them to get familiar with each other.
Looking at the three women, one was eating happily, and the other two were lying down and enjoying themselves, Ang Lee smiled slightly. He gently closed the crack of the door and returned to the bedroom to accompany the three babies. After all, the three women may have common topics together. Ang Lee's rash intrusion would destroy the unique feeling between the women.
There were many rooms in Ang Lee's main house. There were six bedrooms for people to live in. Moreover, each room had a fireplace for heating. It would be very comfortable to live in it.
Yan Ruyu wanted to arrange for Man Man to stay in the room on the other side. However, Zhao Yefu heard that Man Man was from Cuan, which was a southerner. She was curious and wanted to know more about Cuan. She asked Zhao Yefu to sleep with her for one night. Yan Ruyu certainly agreed.
"Husband, you haven't slept yet?"
More than two hours later, Yan Ruyu returned to the bedroom and saw Ang Lee sitting beside the bed.
"Shh, don't wake the babies."
Ang Lee asked Yan Ruyu to lower her voice and looked at the cute babies again.
"Madam, look, the three babies are all smiling. I wonder what kind of sweet dream he's having. "
Ang Lee whispered.
"Since my husband likes babies so much, we'll work hard and give birth to a few more for you."
Yan Ruyu teased.
"How many?"
"Three."
Yan Ruyu smiled.
"There are really three of them?"
"Sister Guichang Prince came all the way to the capital to see you. Why don't you accompany her? Maybe next time she comes, she can bring back two babies."
Yan Ruyu looked at Ang Lee with a smile.
"She said so? She came to the capital just to … "
"Of course it's true. Why would she lie to you? Alas! The customs in Dongnu Province are really strange. You can't be together even if you like. Every woman in Dongnu Province has to live in her mother's house all her life. Few of them can stay with the person they love. "
Yan Ruyu suddenly sighed.
"Madam, the world is much bigger than we think. There are all kinds of strange customs. It's nothing strange."
Ang Lee suddenly thought of many strange customs in later generations.
"Husband, what other strange customs do you know? Tell me."
Yan Ruyu looked at Ang Lee curiously.
"Well, there are many. For example, there is a tribe on the grassland. Almost all the men's wives are snatched. There is also a small island country overseas. Women like to secretly follow men and drag them into the grass when they are unprepared. There is also a small tribe in America …"
Ang Lee said more than a dozen strange customs in a row. Yan Ruyu was so surprised that she kept changing her expression.
"There are so many scary customs in the world. Fortunately, I didn't live in the Tang dynasty. Otherwise, I would be miserable."
Yan Ruyu said with lingering fear.
"Yes! Our Tang dynasty is the best and most powerful empire in the world. In the future, many places on the map will become part of the Tang Empire. "
As Li An spoke, he went back to the topic of politics.
"Husband, we've made a deal."
Yan Ruyu had no interest in territorial expansion, so she changed the topic.
"What's the deal?"
Ang Lee looked at Yan Ruyu curiously.
Yan Ruyu leaned over to Ang Lee's ear and whispered, "We'll take turns to serve you!"
"What? Take turns to serve me? You even dare to talk about such a topic? Who suggested it? "
Ang Lee was shocked. This was too direct and exciting. Was he lucky in love?
"It's Sister Guichang. Are all the women in their place so bold? How dare they say such shameful things? "
Yan Ruyu had never been to Dongnu Province. Naturally, she didn't know the details of Dongnu Province. However, she had roughly learned some things about Dongnu Province from Zhao Yefu. She was quite surprised by the boldness of the daughters of Dongnu Province.
"Yes! Didn't I tell you the story of the watchtowers in Dongnu Province? The women in Dongnu Province are like this. They are much hotter than those in the Tang dynasty. However, being reserved is also a kind of beauty. Just like you, my wife. Your children are so big, but you are still so shy. "
Ang Lee held Yan Ruyu in his arms and said, "My wife, it's your turn to serve me tonight, right?"
"Don't mess around. The children are still here."
"It's okay. They are all asleep. Come on!"
Ang Lee held Yan Ruyu to the bed and gently pressed her on it.
The next morning, after Li An finished his breakfast, he rushed to the R&D center. In the name of R&D, he avoided his three wives. He believed that it would be awkward for him to stay at home, so it was better to let them get to know each other first.
"Assistant Minister Li, I heard that Prince Guichang is living in your mansion."
Li Yu and Li Qiu went to the R&D center to inspect. The first thing they said when they saw Ang Lee was that Prince Guichang moved out of the Honglu Guild Hall and went to live in Ang Lee's residence.
"What? Even you guys know about this? You guys sure spread fast!"
Li An smiled slightly. Even if he admitted it, he had no choice but to admit it! After all, hundreds of people of Zhao Yefu were living in his mansion. It was impossible to hide such a big movement.
"Assistant Minister Li, you don't know yet, do you? Early this morning, the Minister of Honglu Temple and several subordinates went to the palace to ask for forgiveness. "
Li Yu whispered.
"Go to the palace to ask for forgiveness? Why? "
Ang Lee was still a little confused.
Li Qiu said, "The Minister of Honglu Temple said that he didn't do his job well. He didn't control his subordinates well and didn't serve Prince Guichang well. He let Prince Guichang go to Assistant Minister Li's house."
Ang Lee suddenly smiled and said, "The Minister of Honglu Temple is wronged. Prince Guichang went to my mansion because he liked the environment outside the city. It has nothing to do with the Honglu Guild Hall. Alas!"
"It really has nothing to do with the Honglu Guild Hall?"
"Of course. Why would I lie to you?"
"If that's the case, there's another possibility."
Li Yu looked at Ang Lee with a strange look.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, what do you want to say?"
"Assistant Minister Li, I heard that Prince Guichang brought the little princess this time. Some people said that Prince Guichang's little princess is Assistant Minister Li's daughter."
Li Yu whispered.
"Who are those people gossiping?"
"Haha, they are just some people who have nothing to do. Assistant Minister Li, you don't have to pay attention to them."
Ang Lee dared to admit it, but Zhao Yefu and Tang Er would leave in half a month. There was no need to admit it. Of course, there was no need to clarify anything. Tacit understanding was the best choice.
"By the way, Assistant Minister Li, tomorrow, Li Huaijie, King of Qidan, and Li Yanchong, King of Xi, will arrive in the capital. I heard that they came here for a political marriage. His Majesty has decided to betroth Princess Jingle to Li Huaijie and Princess Yifang to Li Yanchong."
Li Yu said.
"Assistant Minister Li, I don't think Li Huaijie and Li Yanchong really want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. For so many years, they have followed the footsteps of the Turks and invaded the Tang Dynasty many times. Now that the Turks have been destroyed, they have no one to rely on, so they want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Once they are strong enough in the future, they will definitely rebel again."
Li Qiu made a bold analysis.
Ang Lee looked at Li Qiu with admiration and said softly, "Li Huaijie and Li Yanchong had to surrender to the Tang Dynasty because the Turks were destroyed. It's hard to say whether they will rebel in the future. But once they do, Princess Jingle and Princess Yifang will become ghosts under the knife. What two poor children."
"Assistant Minister Li, is there any way to stop this political marriage?"
Ang Lee shook his head and said, "There is no way. His Majesty just wants to surrender. He doesn't care about the fate of the two princesses at all."
Ang Lee felt very helpless about this regrettable history. Even though Li Longji favored him very much, he would never change his policy of political marriage.
"Well, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's go and see the armored artillery car I have recently developed."
Ang Lee shook his head and led the two to the R&D center.
"Assistant Minister Li, what is an armored cannon chariot? Is it a chariot wrapped in armor that is combined with a cannon? That would be too powerful."
Li Yu suddenly guessed something and said excitedly.
"Yes, you will understand after you see it. This armored artillery car is extremely powerful. As long as it has a certain scale, it will be invincible in the world. In the future, when the generals and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty drive the armored artillery car to battle, they will no longer have to bear the huge cost of casualties. They can annihilate the enemy without dying."
Ang Lee looked forward to it.
Soon, they walked to the department where the armored artillery car was developed and walked in.
"How is it? How is the development going?"
Ang Lee asked loudly.
"Assistant Minister Li, we have made a prototype. However, there are still many problems. It is okay when the cannon is not fired. Once the cannon is fired, many parts of the armored artillery car will fall apart. The recoil of the cannon is too great. The armored artillery car built now can't withstand the power of the cannon."
The craftsman in charge of the R&D said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter. You continue to work hard and improve the problems. Especially the turret. It must be able to rotate freely at least 180 degrees."
Li An requested with a serious expression.
"Assistant Minister Li, don't worry. We will improve it. Since the cannon can be installed, there won't be too big of a problem."
Ang Lee nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Li Yu and Li Qiu and said softly, "Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, Shirang, let's go inside the armored artillery car and have a look. Although it is a failed product, the shape and structure can't be wrong."
After that, Ang Lee climbed onto the armored artillery car first, opened the entrance on top, and quickly got in.
Li Yu and Li Qiu followed Ang Lee's example. They got into the armored artillery car from another entrance and closed the entrance.
The armored artillery car was designed according to the appearance of the self-propelled artillery in the future. It was a wheeled self-propelled artillery. However, due to the limitations of power and technology, it was an absolutely inferior version of the self-propelled artillery.
In terms of weight and armor, it was far inferior to the self-propelled artillery in the future. In terms of speed and flexibility, it was also far behind. Moreover, it was very large, even larger than the largest self-propelled artillery in the future.
In fact, it was just a metal car. The rotating metal shell on top was equipped with a new type of artillery. It could achieve long-range fire. In front of the base, there was a driving and command cabin. It was very comfortable for the driver and commander to sit inside.
The rotating turret at the top was connected to the base. The space inside was very large. It could fit ten people without a problem. However, there was no need for so many people. One person was responsible for the power maintenance and backup, and two people were responsible for firing the artillery.
In this way, an armored artillery car only needed five people. It was the same as the number of people in the artillery car. In the future, once it was organized into a large-scale army, it would be a nightmare for any enemy.
Ang Lee, Li Yu, and Li Qiu were in the position of the turret of the armored artillery car. Ang Lee gently shook the handwheel to adjust the turret to one side and then back again to test the flexibility of the handwheel and the rotating turret.
It had to be said that there were not many problems with the handwheel and the rotating turret. It was very convenient for them to rotate. However, the recoil of the artillery was too great. When firing, many parts of the artillery car would have problems. These parts with problems would have to be researched again. They would either have to increase the size or redesign the cushioning mechanism. In short, they had to ensure that the artillery could fire smoothly. Moreover, they could not damage any parts of the artillery car. Otherwise, the combat ability of the armored artillery car would be greatly reduced.
"Assistant Minister Li, this guy is amazing! Look at this thick metal shell. It's completely impenetrable. "
Li Yu used his hand to knock on the metal sheet beside him and praised.
"Assistant Minister Li, the medicinal jade around and on top must be tempered medicinal jade, right?"
Li An nodded and said, "That's right. The top and sides are indeed made of tempered medicinal jade. However, tempered medicinal jade isn't as good as steel. Therefore, the surrounding pieces of tempered medicinal jade are small. Only the top is made of large pieces of medicinal jade. This way, the interior of the cannon can be brighter. If nothing can be seen, then there's no way to fight."
