Chapter 876: It’s Really As Powerful as You Say
The emperor himself didn't know when he would recognize Zhao Chen.
When Li Chengqian was deposed before, the emperor wanted to take advantage of that opportunity to reveal Zhao Chen's identity.
However, Li Chengqian's deposition has a lot to do with Zhao Chen.
Even if they explained Zhao Chen’s identity clearly, what would the officials think?
Li Chengqian was deposed. Is there an emperor like him?
The purpose is to let Zhao Chen inherit the position of crown prince.
If this idea appears in the minds of all officials, various other speculations will arise.
This is not of any benefit to Zhao Chen.
After thinking about it, the emperor had to let Li Tai take the position of crown prince first.
In this way, officials will not think too much.
As for future events, take your time.
The emperor himself had no idea when Zhao Chen's identity was revealed.
"I have my own considerations about this matter. Guanyin maid doesn't have to worry. When the time is ripe, I will reveal this matter." The emperor and Empress Changsun said.
Even if you have no idea, you can't tell me about it.
This matter is of great importance, and the emperor is also afraid that Empress Changsun will have something to do because of her impatient situation.
"I know that there is another month to be New Year's Eve. This year, I am going to let Zhao Chen go for a New Year's Eve dinner together. What do you think?" Empress Changsun nodded and said about her plans for New Year's Eve.
Empress Changsun had this plan last year.
But Zhao Chen was sent to the Songzhou front by the emperor, and this time Empress Changsun was preparing to make up for it.
"This is the master of Guanyin maid." The emperor nodded and his eyes fell on Empress Changsun's jade hand.
"I've had frostbite again this year. What kind of way do the imperial physicians think of?" The emperor frowned.
Every winter, Queen Changsun’s hands will develop frostbite due to the cold weather.
Whenever frostbite occurs, it will cause pus and bleeding, and it will cause severe pain when touched.
"Frostbite is difficult to treat, and the problem is not big. You can get better when the weather is warmer."
"You're here to the place, it's a bit far away!" Empress Changsun smiled and shook her head, then lifted the curtain to look outside.
...
Chang'an Academy has a branch office outside the city.
This is not for students to teach, but for them to exercise themselves.
For example, do some research, do experiments, etc.
Chang'an Academy is separated from Zhao's mansion by a wall, and Zhao Chen is also afraid that those guys will lose their homes.
"It's pretty good, spacious enough!" The emperor got off the carriage, glanced around the surrounding environment, and nodded with satisfaction.
Right in front of them was a thick blue brick wall.
There is also a cement wall next to it.
A huge eight-ox crossbow was posing in the distance.
Cheng Chumo and the others have all arrived here.
Although the design of the Baniu Crossbow is Zhao Chen, they also participated in this production.
So the emperor wanted to see the power of these Eight Cow Crossbows, so they were naturally indispensable.
"Your Majesty, Empress, Sir!" Everyone ran over and saluted several people.
The emperor was very satisfied with Cheng Chumo and the others' current state.
One by one, his eyes were bright and he was not as dull as last year.
"I am here to see your Eight-Cow Crossbow today. I heard that these Eight-Cow Crossbows are extremely powerful, so don't let me down." The emperor nodded to everyone and said his purpose.
Cheng Chumo and the others knew the purpose of the emperor coming here.
Of course, it was ready long ago.
"Your Majesty, Empress, please come here!" Everyone quickly reached out to invite the emperor and the queen.
The emperor and the queen walked slowly forward and came to the eight cow crossbows.
Three arrows have been installed on the Eight Niu Crossbow.
Although it is an arrow, this arrow is comparable to the spear in the hands of a spearman, and it is two feet long.
The arrows are made of hard wood as the shaft and iron sheets as the feathers.
The iron piece is like three long swords.
Just looking at it like this, a chill in my heart could arise.
"This is the Eight Niu Crossbow, also known as the Three Bow Bed Crossbow, because we have tried it before. To pull the crossbow arrow with just brute force, one hundred strong men would need."
"So it is also called the Eight-Nuo Crossbow."
Zhao Chen explained to the emperor, then waved his hand to make Cheng Chumo and the others move.
He sat down and rested by himself, and Li Ke brought a chair to Zhao Chen in a flattering manner.
As for the emperor, Li Kequan pretended not to see it.
"My mother, please sit down!" Li Ke also brought a chair to Empress Changsun.
"Where is your father?" Empress Changsun frowned.
This kid is becoming more and more like Zhao Chen, so can’t he learn something well?
"Just two chairs..." Li Ke was a little hesitant.
Zhao Chen must have a chair, otherwise Zhao Chen wouldn't have to deal with him on the spot?
The queen definitely wants it too.
But there are only two chairs, why would he lie on the ground and use it as a stool for the emperor?
"Eight ox crossbows, hundreds of people pull the bows, it's really amazing."
"Come on, let me see the power of these Eight Cow Crossbows." The emperor didn't have the heart to care whether he had sat in the chair.
His heart was filled with the eight cow crossbows in front of him.
Old Li thought, if the power of these Eight Niu Crossbows was really as powerful as Li Ke said.
In the future, when such magical objects appear on the battlefield, will the enemy still be frightened?
Furthermore, the stronger the power of this weapon, the more willing the officials in the court are to take out the money!
"Yes!" Cheng Chumo responded and took a stone axe from the side.
"Your Majesty, the buckles of the Eight Cow Crossbow cannot be stepped on by ordinary strength, and a stone axe is required." Qin Huaiyu explained on the side.
The emperor nodded.
He was a little doubtful whether the Eight Cow Crossbow could really penetrate the wall.
"Ke'er, these eight ox crossbows are really as powerful as you said?" Empress Changsun was also a little suspicious.
After all, I have never seen it with my own eyes, and it is a normal mentality to doubt it.
"It's really amazing. I've never seen it before. The weapon in the army has such power."
"Oh, yes, it's not as good as the sky-booming thunder." Li Ke nodded with certainty.
"That……"
"Bang--"
Empress Changsun was about to ask another question when she suddenly heard a clang.
At the corner of my eyes, I saw three long spears on the Eight Cow Crossbow shooting out two sharp arrows.
"Sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sudden-sud
Only three sounds that sounded at the same time were heard into my ears.
The sound was strange, as if it had plunged into tofu.
The emperor did not speak, but walked forward quickly, a distance of two hundred feet was not complete at all.
The queen followed, and the others followed one after another.
After walking for a long time, everyone came to the wall where the three arrows plunged into it.
The students in the academy did not look any unexpected.
But Old Li himself looked like he was a ghost at this moment.
In front of him, three spear-like arrows penetrated a foot thick wall, revealing three-foot arrows clustered behind the wall.
The sharp edge of the arrow cluster was completely distorted.
It can be seen how strong the impact was just now.
The emperor was skilled and wanted to pull out an arrow, but found that he had used all his strength, but he could not see the arrow moving at all.
"Father, this arrow cannot be pulled. If you force it, it will easily collapse the wall." Li Ke said to the emperor.
The emperor let go of his hand, and he had just touched the wall in front of him, which was much harder than the collapsed wall of the Military Arts Prison.
"Crack--"
The sound of the wall cracking suddenly sounded.
The emperor was startled and walked a lot behind.
Everyone retreated.
Chapter completed!
