Suddenly having an extra daughter, after sending away Guo Ziyi, who was in a hurry to go home, Zheng Peng fell into deep thought for a while.

There were surprises and joys, some were at a loss because it was a little embarrassing at this juncture, and I didn't know how to explain it to Lu Shu and Lin Xun'er, Zheng Peng thought about it, and finally decided to write a letter to Lan Duo to communicate and see what she thought.

After Guo Ziyi left, Zheng Peng was not idle, he wanted to write letters to relatives and friends to spread the good news, and the news of the champion Houfu Xide's noble son spread quickly, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him, even Concubine Wu Hui in the deep palace reacted very quickly, and sent someone to bring a set of baby's gold and silver bills early the next morning, as well as a large number of tonic products to indicate that it was for the green Shu of the newly ascended mother.

After the child was born, Cui Yuan lived directly, and Cui Yuan, who was originally leisurely, became busy all of a sudden, visiting the child and Lu Shu from time to time, discussing with Zheng Peng what the child's name should be, and discussing the issue of the child's 100-day banquet for a while, which was more concerned than Zheng Peng, the male host.

Promoted to father, Zheng Peng was not in a hurry to go to the construction site to supervise the railway, but handed over the time to Lu Shu and his son.

Guo Ziyi returned to Beijing, Zheng Peng has always wanted to have a good drink with him, but unfortunately Guo Ziyi came in a hurry when he returned to Beijing, and then sent someone to send a generous gift, but he never saw anyone, and sent someone to Guo's mansion to give gift cakes, and learned that Guo Ziyi was not in the mansion, it is said that Li Longji often sent people to announce his entry into the palace to discuss major matters.

On the evening of the third day after Lu Shu gave birth to a child, when Zheng Peng was holding his son in Lu Shu's room, Cui Er hurried over and said that Emperor Li Longji was waiting for him in the lobby.

Zheng Peng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to the lobby to face the saint.

After the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, Zheng Peng said with some surprise: "I didn't know that the emperor was coming, and I couldn't take the driver, so I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, I also made a temporary decision, right, what about Ling Lang, fell asleep?" Li Longji asked with interest.

Zheng Peng hurriedly said: "Wake up, wake up, the emperor will come soon." ”

Soon, a young nurse cautiously came with the child, however, Li Longji's action startled the young nurse, only to see Li Longji stretch out his hands, looking like he wanted to hug the little young master in his arms.

The nurse was startled, she didn't know whether to give it or not, she was a little worried, and she didn't dare to refuse, and when she wanted to ask the young master's opinion, she only felt a light in her arms, and the little young master had already arrived in Li Longji's hands.

Zheng Peng was also startled when he saw Li Longji holding the child, but when he saw Li Longji skillfully holding the child, he put down his hanging heart and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect the emperor to hold the child better than Weichen." ”

"This is natural" Li Longji said with some pride: "Aiqing is a newly promoted father, so he is naturally unfamiliar, but I have brought up a few children, so I am naturally much more skilled than Aiqing." ”

Speaking of this, he took out a hand, lightly tapped the child's nose, and said with a smile: "Yes, Heaven is full, the bridge of the nose is high, he is a blessed person, well, the eyes and mouth are most like Aiqing." ”

Zheng Peng's eyes rolled, and he quickly saluted Li Longji respectfully: "The emperor's grace is magnificent, and the micro-ministers thank the emperor on behalf of the dog." ”

"Xie Zhen? Thanks for what? Li Longji asked with some puzzlement.

"The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and as soon as Chrysostom opened, he said that the dog is a blessed person, and the dog must be a blessed person." Zheng Peng said categorically.

Li Longji paused for a moment, and quickly pointed at Zheng Peng and scolded with a smile: "You guy, you are really good at beating snakes with sticks." ”

After that, Li Longji said with a serious face: "Aiqing, don't worry, I won't treat meritorious people badly, just wait to enjoy the glory and wealth." ”

With Zheng Peng's contribution and merits, as long as he does not cooperate with the enemy and treason, it is enough to seal his wife and son, Li Longji has already thought of conferring a knighthood on Zheng Peng's son during the 100-day banquet, and he doesn't need to be high, a county man is enough, maybe the county is not bad, firstly, it can be regarded as encircling Zheng Peng, and secondly, it is also to set an example for the subjects of the world, so that the subjects know that as long as they are loyal to the monarch and patriotic and make military achievements, there will be rich rewards.

is to knight a child who was just 100 days old, and it is estimated that no one in the court will refute it, after all, where is Zheng Peng's exploits.

"The emperor's grace is mighty, and the liver and brain of the micro-minister are not enough to repay it." Zheng Peng was also very knowledgeable, and hurriedly thanked him.

Although the emperor's words are not credible, he often says one thing and does another, but it is better than nothing.

Li Longji nodded with satisfaction, first asked Zheng Pengren to stand up, and then returned the child in his arms to the nurse.

Holding the child is just a whim, by the way, a means to envelop the courtiers and show closeness, Li Longji is really not a nanny, of course, the first time he saw the child, he couldn't be empty-handed, after returning the child, Li Longji personally took off a piece of jade pendant that he carried with him, and gently stuffed it into the child's quilt: "There is nothing to prepare, this jade pendant is regarded as a meeting gift." ”

Like children's quilts, jewelry, etc., tonics are also rewarded, and then the reward seems to be repeated, and a piece of jade pendant that you carry with you shows sincerity.

Zheng Peng couldn't see that Li Longji had a heart, so he naturally thanked him again and again.

After the nurse retreated, Zheng Peng found an excuse to send all the idle people in the lobby down, and took the initiative to ask: "When General Guo returned to Chang'an, he came here, and the northwest seems to be a little peaceful, Your Majesty, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

Li Longji is the Son of Heaven, he doesn't need to come at this time, he just wants to see the child, and he can also see him at the 100-day banquet, Guo Ziyi, as a general in the border area, has not moved for a long time, and Li Longji suddenly came, nine times out of ten there is something wrong, and he has received so many benefits in front, Zheng Peng hesitated, but still took the initiative to ask.

"Not peaceful? Not so much" Li Longji waved his hand and said: "I have a million male divisions, and only one city and one place can't fight against the sky, but some things are not bad to prevent trouble, the northwest has a special location and a complicated situation, I don't know if Aiqing has a high opinion?" ”

Zheng Peng's heart tightened, and he knew that Li Longji had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and it was by no means as simple as looking at the courtiers.

"This matter is very important, Wechen has been busy building roads and family affairs recently, and he has a lot of ideas, and he can't think of any good way for a while."??

Now that one foot is in the court and one foot is in the rivers and lakes, Zheng Peng has the idea that more things are better than less, and he will not participate for the time being.

Zheng Peng was obviously pushing, Li Longji was neither anxious nor angry, and when he heard this, he leaned back comfortably, and said unhurriedly: "There is no way for a while, then think about it, I am not in a hurry." ”

After that, he closed his eyes, and the fingers of his right hand on the shoulder of the chair tapped from time to time, I don't know whether he was recalling something proud or humming a song in his heart, with a leisurely and complacent look.

Is this a reliance? Zheng Peng looked at Li Longji who was recuperating with his eyes closed a little dumbfounded, speechless, it seemed that he didn't want to satisfy him one by one, Li Longji was consumed in this living room with himself.

After half a ring, Zheng Peng said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has ruled the Western Regions for many years, and after so many years of theory and practice, in fact, the policy has been quite perfect..."

When he said this, Zheng Peng secretly glanced at Li Longji and found that Li Longji was still closed and silent, even his fingers tapped on the shoulder of the chair without stopping, as if he hadn't heard Zheng Peng's words.

Obviously, without some dry goods, this king who does not hesitate to condescend to the noble will not receive the goods.

Zheng Peng's eyes rolled, and he continued: "Weichen has an idea, I don't dare to say that I dare to check and fill in the gaps, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake." ”

Li Longji still closed his eyes and didn't say anything, Zheng Peng noticed that the movements on Li Longji's fingers were obviously sluggish.

"The emperor can rest easy in the palace, in addition to the soldiers guarding the border, the military and civilians around the country to guard Chang'an, there is also an elite and brave, only obey the emperor's orders of the forbidden army, that is, the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army and the Flying Cavalry Army, but the forbidden army is only responsible for the security of the Gyeonggi region and the palace, the border areas do not know much about the power of the forbidden army, until the last time Weichen led a group to the Western Regions to suppress bandits, of course, this bandit is done by the Tubo people, but it doesn't matter, the courage of the forbidden army has been recognized and respected by the subjects of the Tang Dynasty. The new forbidden army that only obeys the emperor's orders, the new forbidden army not only selects elite soldiers, but also equips them with the best weapons, where there is injustice, they will step on the emperor for the emperor, and add an iron gate to the Tang Dynasty, I don't know what the emperor means....."

Li Longji, who was leaning on the back of the chair, stopped the movement of his fingers, opened his closed eyes, patted the chair shoulder, and said happily: "This plan is very good, Aiqing is really worthy of my Fuxing Wise General, so quickly thought of such a good method, good, great."

Speaking of this, Li Longji, who was a little excited, stood up, paced around the lobby with his hands behind his back with some excitement, and said to himself as he walked: "I have an internal forbidden army, why not form an external forbidden army, as the saying goes, soldiers are more expensive than fine, and that day Aiqing wiped out the great trouble of Datang's headache for many years with only 10,000 people, that's right, I want to form an invincible and invincible hundred battles of heroes, like the black armor elite cavalry of the first emperor back then, by the way, all equipped with firearms, didn't you say that you can make a new type of firearms, is equipping the new forbidden army, even in a peaceful and prosperous era, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace, Aiqing is right, add an iron gate to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zheng Peng's words touched Li Longji, and he decided on the spot to form a foreign forbidden army that only obeyed his orders.

"Your Majesty, what did you just say? Firebolt? Is there a new breakthrough in the Firearms Department? Zheng Peng's ears were sharp, and he immediately noticed that Li Longji's words inadvertently revealed important information.

Recently, I have been busy with the construction site and family affairs, but the affairs of the Firearms Department have been left behind, and I haven't been there for some days.

Firebolt?

Li Longji was in a good mood, and he didn't hide it from Zheng Peng, and nodded when he heard the words and said: "I received a secret report yesterday, those guys from the Firearms Department were not lazy, and finally built the firecracker, and said that the power and range are not bad, which is another reason why I am here, Aiqing will accompany me tomorrow to review it and see how powerful the firecracker is." ”

Zheng Peng is the person in charge and chief designer of the Firearms Department, and the firecracker is also the idea put forward by Zheng Peng, and the design drawings are also from Zheng Peng's hand, to test the power of the firearms, no one is more suitable than Zheng Peng.
