Hou Junji was very irritable.

Since he was forced to take on this mission in Ganquan Palace, he has not rested much.

I just want to solve the problem of insufficient power of the bed crossbow.

But more than ten days have passed and there is no way.

Hou Junji even gave the craftsmen an ultimatum, and if the problem could not be solved, they would be executed.

The craftsmen had no choice but to be scolded by the officials under Hou Junji every day.

Now he is threatened by Hou Junji to be executed, and many craftsmen are panicked at that time.

He ran away from Chang'an City overnight with his family.

The military weapon surveillance disappeared within a night.

The military weapon supervisor reported the news with Hou Junji in panic.

...

"Your Majesty, today people from below come to report, and the craftsmen from the military weapon prison ran away overnight." The eunuch and the emperor reported the news from below.

"Running?" The emperor's face turned gloomy at that time.

If he remembered correctly, Hou Junji had promised him that the power of the bed crossbow would be insufficient within half a month.

Now there are three days left before half a month, and there is no news about the bed crossbow. Has the craftsmen from the military weapon supervisor run away?

"That's right, Your Majesty, I heard that Duke Chen issued an order that if the craftsmen cannot solve the problem of bed crossbows, they will be executed."

"The craftsmen were afraid, so they all ran away at night." The eunuch and the emperor explained the news they received.

"Absurd!" the emperor said annoyed and shouted to the eunuch beside him: "Let Hou Jun gather here to explain to me."

...

From hearing the news that the craftsmen were running away, Hou Junji was frowning.

He was not worried that the emperor would punish him because of this.

If the execution was just a threat, Hou Junji did not really execute it.

Even if the emperor blames him, he will only scold him at most.

But the matter of the crossbow has not been resolved.

Hou Junji was worried that the emperor would directly let Zhao Chen take charge of the military weapon surveillance this time.

If this is true, his hard work for the past half month will be in vain.

Hou Junji was unwilling to accept it.

For the past half month, he has been thinking about solving the problem of insufficient power of the bed crossbow.

But reality is always cruel. Even if he wants to break his head, he can't think of any solution.

If I can't give the emperor a reasonable explanation, this military weapon surveillance will probably fall into Zhao Chen's hands.

"Master's family, Your Majesty sends people to the palace, Master Xuan's family." Hou Junji was worried when he heard the voices of servants from the house coming from outside.

Hou Junji frowned. He had not thought about how to explain this to the emperor now.

"Just say that I am sick and cannot enter the palace." Hou Junji pondered for a moment and said to the servants outside.

He couldn't rush to see the emperor before he thought of a solution.

Otherwise he would have no way to explain.

"Yes!" The servant left, waited for a while, and when there was no movement outside, he opened the door of the study and walked towards the back door of his mansion.

...

Li Ruoshuang's belly can already be clearly seen as pregnant.

Sun Simiao would come over to check with Li Ruoshuang every few days.

Although Zhao Chen is good at medical skills, he really doesn't understand what a woman is pregnant.

So it is more reassuring to let Sun Simiao see it.

Zhao Chen has lived a comfortable life in the past ten days.

I go to the academy every day and lie in my own yard to bask in the sun when I have nothing to do.

But a free and easy person.

But this free and comfortable life was soon broken by the emperor's voice.

The emperor walked into Zhao Chen's yard angrily, without saying a word, and pulled Zhao Chen up from the recliner.

He lay down straight on himself.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Chen didn't react.

This is his Zhao Mansion, why is this guy so blatantly snatching his stuff?

"Old Huang!"

"Old Huang, where have you died?" Zhao Chen and the doorman Lao Huang shouted.

It was very strange that Lao Huang, who had been playing cats and dogs in Zhao's house, disappeared today.

"Stop calling, your concierge is not here." The emperor said with his eyes closed.

But these eyebrows were tightly twisted together.

It seems like I have suffered a great grievance.

"What, do you want your concierge to drive me out?" Li Shimin opened his eyes and glanced at Zhao Chen.

"What are you here to do?" Zhao Chen looked unhappy.

You haven't come for the past ten days and half a month, and you'll grab your position as soon as you come.

It's impossible to argue!

"Let me find something for you!" The emperor sat up.

"Military weapon supervisor?" Zhao Chen said casually.

"How is it, do you have any ideas?" The emperor was not surprised at all.

I asked Li Ke to talk to Zhao Chen about military weapons and bed crossbows.

Although these days have passed, this matter has not been resolved.

Zhao Chen could naturally easily guess his purpose.

"Why, the problem of the bed crossbow has not been solved, so I've come to help me?" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with a smile.

Old Li was a little surprised.

Before he came here, he was wondering if he would shy his face with him if he would talk to Zhao Chen about the crossbow.

So he was ready to be criticized by Zhao Chen.

But now it seems that Zhao Chen is very interested in this thing.

In this way, it should be easy to solve this today!

"Yes, are you interested? If you can, I..."

"Not interested." Zhao Chen waved his hand and interrupted the emperor's unfinished words, and then continued:

"I don't burn incense normally, but I think of me if I have something to do?"

"Although I'm still empty-handed?"

"Even if I teach in the academy, students who are outdated and celebrated holidays know to give some gifts or something."

"Is it appropriate for you, Mr. Li, to come empty-handed every time?"

"What, the emperor can make money from nothing?"

"I want to..."

"Hey, don't tell me to be the supervisor of the military weapon supervisor. The military weapon supervisor is under the Ministry of War and is under the jurisdiction of Hou Junji."

"Do you want me to help you kill Hou Junji or what?" Zhao Chen blocked the emperor's words again.

What does the emperor mean?

He thought that the crossbow of the military weapon surveillance had spent 500,000 treasurys on the national treasury, so he could not have been wasted like this.

Maybe Zhao Chen will go and have a look to solve this problem?

If possible, it is also OK to squeeze Zhao Chen's ability by the way.

After all, Zhao Chen also made a lot of things in the academy.

If he did some tricks in military weapons supervision, wouldn’t his Tang army be stronger?

I was thinking about letting Zhao Chen kill Hou Junji?

However, the emperor also heard from Zhao Chen's words that Zhao Chen was full of murderous intentions towards Hou Junji.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said such words.

"I spent 500,000 guan on the crossbow of the military weapon surveillance. If this problem cannot be solved, then 500,000 guan will be in vain..."

"That has nothing to do with me. If you say that I will help you solve the problem of crossbows, you can give me half of the money, then you can consider it!" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor and said with a smile.

The emperor did not have that much money to give to Zhao Chen.

"Money, money, you know what money is, what should you do if you have more money?"

"If I could take out so much money, what else would I want you to do?"

"You have to go today. If you don't go, I will tie you up in person!" the emperor said annoyed.
