But the emperor didn't know what was written on the second page, and I thought it should have been done recently as a separate report, but as a New Year's gift.

Every time he saw a line explaining the emperor's voice, he finally stood up from behind the bookcase, his lazy, boring and irritable mood was swept away, and he shook off a few pieces of paper in his hand to ask Wang Anshi and Sima Guang for details.

"I'm afraid that the Nissan thousand catties are a little exaggerated, and the minister thinks that there are hundreds of catties, and it seems that the horse's temperament of laughing has not changed. Light, the minister deliberately looked for the three envoys to find the scales to measure, this armor weighs twenty-four catties and seven taels, it is indeed a lot lighter than my armor, I think it is caused by stainless steel. However, the shape of this armor is strange, and the forbidden army of the special guard division of the minister uses a crossbow to shoot a hundred steps away, and among the dozens of arrows, only two arrows can penetrate, and neither of them can penetrate the inner layer of leather armor, which is amazing. However, Wang Shu made it clear in the letter that he could not be condemned for being ugly, and hoped that His Majesty would agree. ”

Wang Anshi said that he understood Wang Shu more thoroughly, took over the work of explaining, and supported the horse more righteously, which is really rare.

"Am I pedantic, even if I am ...... Hiss...... This, this ......" Emperor Shenzong made Wang Anshi a little confused, so don't just listen to it, the real thing is in the box, let's see it with your own eyes.

The moment the wooden box was opened, the emperor was about to repent. It's not ugly anymore, it's too ugly, it can't even be counted as a human appearance, it can only be said to be a living ghost!

There are two straw figures lying side by side in the box, and the craftsmanship of the straw men is Peng Da's system at a glance, not only with hair, but also into a hairstyle that the forbidden army likes, lifelike.

But at this time, the emperor had no time to judge whether the straw man was good or not, and his eyes were all on the armor worn by the straw man. This kind of armor has never been seen by the Song people, and it is a bit like the Mingguang armor of the Han and Tang dynasties, but there are no chain mail pieces on the front, and it is all composed of large pieces of armor.

How big is it? The whole cuirass is a piece, from the neck to below the navel, one on the chest and one on the back, all of which are protruding outward, round but not round, and pointed but not pointed.

The surface of the nail is not yet flat, and there are protruding clauses one by one. Wearing it is like burrowing its body into an irregular round iron bucket, but with a little more waist and abdomen than the iron bucket, slightly fitting the human shape.

The shoulders, arms, and lower legs of this armor are made up of traditional armor pieces, and the pattern of a mantle, arm guard, and shin armor is still used. It's just that there are two more overall leg armors above the knee that fit the thigh, the back is slitted, and the crotch is hollowed out.

A whole set of armor looks not too bloated and flexible when you wear it, but it really doesn't have any beauty. In terms of the aesthetics of the Song people, ugliness can no longer accurately define its appearance, because ugliness is also used to describe people, and it is not a human form at all, but more like a monster.

The ugliest thing is not the armor itself, but the hood. It was simply a thick iron bucket with simple slits in the eyes, nostrils, and mouth, and a tent made up of long nail pieces, which was guaranteed to scare away people on the street when wearing it at night.

One of the armor had a lot of arrow marks on it, and even two small holes, which were obviously wounded by a bow and arrow. The situation is similar to what Wang Anshi described, the arrow is not enough to penetrate and hurt the internal organs. And according to the arc of this nail, there is still a lot of space between the nail and the body, and it is estimated that even the skin and flesh cannot be injured.

"Bang bang...... Can this armor really prevent crossbow shots? Pei Ying, call someone to place it in the vestibule, and bring my bow and arrows. "The emperor can grit his teeth and endure the ugly appearance, because after the horse was kicked in the head, his aesthetic taste is indeed not as good as before, which can be seen from the clothes he wears privately in the palace.

But after the emperor reached out and knocked on the armor, he began to doubt the character of the two prime ministers. The nail plate is very hard when pressed, but the thickness is really a little too thin.

Could it be that these two ministers of the humerus were also bought by the horses, and the three of them worked together to deceive the superiors and subordinates? Thinking of this, Emperor Shenzong's face pulled down again, and he gave an order in a low voice to Pei Zhonggui, who was peeking with his neck stretched to the side.

"Weird...... Again! "Emperor Shenzong used a gold-lacquered bow with one stone and two buckets, which is not a strong bow, but it is not a soft bow that can be pulled apart and aimed and shot by just a soldier, and the war bow used by the professional archers of the forbidden army is only about one stone and five buckets.

But the first arrow was fired, and it struck the horse's armor at eighty paces, but the arrow bounced to the ground with a muffled sound. This made Emperor Shenzong feel very faceless, and took the opportunity to ask Pei Ying for arrows and moved more than two steps forward, and continued to stretch his bow and arrows.

"Whoosh! Syllable! This time the shot was more accurate, and it directly hit the chest and abdomen junction of the straw man.

The armor here is the intersection of the waist and the crotch opening outward, and there is a clear dent. The arrows are hard to bounce off or slide away, so I guess they can be pierced.

But this time the effect was even worse, the arrow actually broke off from the back of the arrow, and fell to the ground with a snap, like sucking the emperor's mouth.

"Change the armor cone offered by the horse!" Emperor Shenzong's face was purple, and he wished that the straw man was Wang Xu, and he had to pass through it with one arrow to relieve his hatred, so that you would dare to tease the Son of Heaven thousands of miles away!

The third arrow misses the target due to mood swings, and just as everyone is worried about the fate of the colt, the fourth arrow finally hits and pierces the damn armor. The emperor finally regained some face, and hurriedly got off the donkey amid everyone's unanimous praise and ended the test.

"Could it be that only Wang Xu's hundred-refining steel arrow cluster can penetrate this armor?" Returning to the hall again, Emperor Shenzong's mood had been calmed down a lot by the cold wind outside, and he was holding a few arrows against the straw man who was standing up by Pei Ying.

Compared with the results, in fact, you don't need to know archery, you can see it by any palace maid. The iron arrows equipped by the Song army were blunt when they touched the armor, and at most they could hit a small pit in the armor, and most of them would slip away, or be twisted by two forces like a second arrow.

The fourth arrow's 100-for-steel armor-piercing cone did penetrate the armor's shell, but unfortunately it was still firmly clamped by the torn steel plate and could not go any further, and even the soft cowhide lining the inside of the armor did not penetrate. If it were a human being wearing this armor, it would definitely be unharmed, just frightened.

"Why is this armor so hard, I'm afraid only the horse can solve your majesty's doubts, the ministers are stupid, and they don't know after discussing for a long time after retiring from the court."

This time it was Sima Guang's turn to shake his head and sigh, he couldn't figure out why these two sets of armor that were obviously lighter and thinner were so hard. It's also iron-making, how can a horse be able to refine it superbly, is it really possessed by the stars?

"Hmph, but Er'er, I think it is Wang Shu who carefully built it with 100 steels, so that he will be happy with this thing, and he will not take office in Huangzhou for a long time. How can I be such a prince who does not distinguish between public and private, this son is annoying! "Emperor Shenzong is in a relationship with the horse today, and he doesn't give him any good, and all bad things must be detained on his brother-in-law's head.

"Your Majesty has really wronged the horse, and the details of the production of this armor are written on the back of Happy New Year, I think it is to surprise Your Majesty."

Wang Anshi also felt that the emperor was a little abnormal today, and hurriedly pointed to the scroll of paper on the bookcase, signaling the emperor not to rush to conclusions first, and it was not too late to convict after reading it.

"......" Emperor Shenzong was choked and swallowed, took several deep breaths before holding back, picked up the paper scroll and unfolded it to continue to look at the small words on the back.

This trick played by the Nima child, a dignified court minister appeased the envoy and actually played it happily, and handed it over to the emperor for review. It seems more appropriate to say that it is childlike and unsuccessful, and to say that it is sick again in the head.

"Pei Ying, go to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow to check the truth of what Wang Shu said, I am really angry!" The more you look at the emperor's face, the more ugly it becomes, red for a while and white for a while.

In the end, he actually wanted to let the head of the great eunuch go out of the palace as a messenger, verify with his own eyes what the horse said in the chapter, and then flicked his sleeves and left with a black face, and directly hung the two prime ministers in place.

"Your Majesty...... You can't live if you do your own evil, you can't ......" Wang Anshi didn't expect the emperor to lose his temper so much, and he didn't even care about the necessary etiquette. If you want to find out why the emperor is suddenly angry, you have to see what is written in the pony's letter. After a few glances, Wang Anshi's face also darkened, I really don't blame the emperor for being angry, isn't this a death!
