Han Yue slowly glanced at him and shouted again: "Where are the etiquette soldiers in the army? Twenty-four cannons were quickly sounded. After the cannon sounded, I went home to remove my armor during the ten-day holiday, and gathered with my family..."

"Here!" The millions of troops shouted in unison, stomping the ground again.

Li Shimin was stunned in the distance and said with a strange expression: "This brat is going to fire again, this brat is going to fire in front of me again?"

He remembered the incident in a daze. Han Yue fired a fire directly on the Xiaohuang Mountain and did not blow Wang Lingyun to death, which scared the emperor and the guards very much.

Seeing the army suddenly parted on both sides in the distance, soldiers pulled out one cannon after another, and the muzzles were raised towards the sky, faintly facing the direction of Xuanwu Gate.

Li Shimin's old face suddenly became longer than a horse.

Changsun slowly walked over with a big belly daughter-in-law, heard this, laughing and giggled: "Your Majesty, don't get angry. I guess this fire is a new type of etiquette. Didn't you hear Yue'er say that the army will fire twenty-four cannons, and then let the soldiers go home!"

Li Shimin's face turned black and hummed, "The Guanyin maid knows how to protect her. You should first look back at the cannons' muzzles..."

"What's wrong with the muzzle?" Changsun did not turn around and continued to support Tian Doudou and Luo Jing'er with both hands. Several concubines wanted to come up and help, but Changsun smiled and said politely.

Li Shimin rolled his eyes, reached out and pointed his hand in front, explaining: "Look at the cannons, the cannons are facing the sky, and they are faintly aimed at Xuanwu Gate. This little brat will kill him. How powerful is the red-clothed cannon? Wouldn't he want to collapse the city wall when he fires like this?"

"No!" Changsun also frowned a little, and couldn't help looking back. She looked along the emperor's fingers and saw a million troops standing quietly. There were red-clothed cannons in front of the army. Under the sunlight, the cannon barrel reflected a hideous light, and the direction of the muzzle was facing Xuanwu Gate.

Changsun's pretty face turned cold and he said angrily: "The little brat is really a fool. How can the cannon be facing Xuanwu Gate? Not only your Majesty, you are standing here, but all the civil and military officials in the court are also standing here. What is he going to do?"

The queen raised the corners of her skirt with both hands, turned around and ran over to scold Han Yue.

Li Shimin suddenly reached out and pulled her, and said in a deep voice: "Guanyin maid, wait, we seem to have misunderstood the brat, those etiquette artillery soldiers are turning their guns..."

Changsun was stunned, and looked at the phoenix eyes and saw a group of artillery soldiers slowly adjusting the wheels, and the cannons were constantly cheaper.

"Wow!" The queen let out a long sigh and giggled, "I just said, I wouldn't be so rude to give birth to a baby, but what's wrong with the Xuanwu Gate when the cannon was initially done? When he returned to the palace, I'll ask carefully."

Han Xiao next to him explained in a low voice and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't blame me, don't blame me. I have heard my husband talk about this kind of etiquette. The cannon sounded twenty-four solar terms in a year. This is a very solemn etiquette. At the beginning, the gun was facing Your Majesty. This is not a deception or arrogance. On the contrary, it is a great respect. The cannon is a killing weapon. It is aimed at Your Majesty to show Your Majesty the merit of expanding territory..."

Li Shimin and Changsun were both a little curious and couldn't help but smile and said, "There is still this statement?"

Han Xiao stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "It's just that, so I'd like to ask Your Majesty and Empress to forgive my husband. I forgot to explain it to everyone. Don't blame him for acting recklessly!"

Changsun's eyes rolled a few times, suddenly reached out and pinched Han's smiley face, and giggled, "I almost got deceived by you little girl. It's obvious that he was taking responsibility on Wang..."

Han Xiao shook his head quickly and explained: "The queen is misunderstood. I really didn't take responsibility. If you don't believe me, you and Your Majesty take a closer look. Those cannons did not load shells, so they dared to look at His Majesty at the beginning. Now the etiquette artillery turns the cannons, and this is how to load shells."

Li Shimin and Changsun were stunned again. The emperor and the empress looked up at the same time. Sure enough, they saw the etiquette artillery constantly adjusting the muzzle, and a bunch of people behind them were loading shells.

The emperor suddenly glanced at him and pondered: "These red-clothed cannons seem to be a little wrong. The cannon body is shorter than before, and there are wheels under it..."

Han Xiao whispered: "Your Majesty's eyes are perfect. These cannons are not red-clothed cannons, but new cannons developed by your husband. This cannon is called mountain cannons, also known as semi-automatic cannons. Its power is more than five times that of red-clothed cannons, but the weight of the cannon body has been sharply reduced by three times, and a war horse can drag it."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise: "Is that a new cannon?"

"It's the new cannon!" Han Xiao's little girl nodded slightly and explained carefully: "The red cannon in the past was too bulky and could only be placed on the top of the city to load and fix it. It was very difficult to move it once. My husband was very worried about this, so he devoted himself to researching and upgrading, and finally created a cannon that could be moved, which could be dragged and walked at will with a horse..."

The emperor was overjoyed. He had seen the power of cannons with his own eyes. If this thing can be dragged and transported, it can be used on every battlefield in the future. Cannons are invincible and can capture cities and villages. What other cities in the world cannot be captured?

...

...

Han Xiao was smart and clever. He saw through the emperor's thoughts at a glance and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't be too happy. This new cannon is extremely difficult to create. No one cannon except your husband. He worked hard for many years and created a total of forty-eight sects."

"There are also a lot of forty-eight gates, which is enough to blow up any strong city." Li Shimin laughed happily, suddenly reached out and pulled off a jade pendant on his waist, and handed it to Han Xiao and said, "I'm rewarded you, hahaha, I'm worthy of being the Princess Huainan of the Great Sui Dynasty, and I'm so smart!"

Han Yue's face was a little blushing. She was the princess of Huainan of the Great Sui Dynasty, and her sister Concubine Yang was also the princess of the Great Sui Dynasty. Concubine Yang married Li Shimin. It was said that Han laughed and called her brother-in-law, but she wanted to call her father-in-law.

Seeing the emperor's face full of heart and his expression was obviously immersed in the fantasy of cannon attacking the city, the little girl thought about it and gritted her teeth and explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please atone for your sins. This new type of cannon is too expensive. Each one is as expensive as 200,000 yuan. My husband has only built forty-eight gates after emptied his family's fortune. Among them, twelve gates remained in Shenyang City, and the twelve gates were placed outside the pass, so there were only twenty-four gates that were pulled here..."

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, with a faint look of regret on his face.

The little girl rolled her eyes and said quickly: "But your Majesty, don't worry. Since your husband is pulling twenty-four new cannons, he is not just trying to fire the cannons as a gift. I guess his main purpose is to present it to Your Majesty."

"Is that so? I offer it to me?" Li Shimin was filled with joy.

Offering is different from the court purchasing. Offering is a matter of giving to the emperor for free, while purchasing requires the state treasury or the royal private treasury to pay for it. The two have very different meanings.

The new cannon is expensive, one is worth 200,000 yuan, and twenty-four cannons is 4.8 million yuan. As emperors, he usually have a strong desire to possess, even if it is his own son's thing. Now, he suddenly has a new cannon worth 5 million yuan, how can Li Shimin not feel surprised?

He reached into his waist, as if he wanted to pull off the jade pendant and reward him again, but after touching his big hand for a long time, he remembered that he had just given the jade pendant to Han Xiao.

The emperor looked a little disappointed and turned to Concubine Yang and said, "The top leader of Concubine Yang, I went out in a hurry today and didn't carry any good things. I really know that you have all kinds of jade bracelets on your hands all year round. Which one of them comes to me and I will give it to someone."

Concubine Yang was slightly stunned, but the queen beside her laughed, and she gave her husband a glaring look, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is really a fool. If you want to reward Han Xiao, you should ask me for it. How can you ask Concubine Yang to ask for it? They are sisters. Isn't this intentional embarrassing..."

When Li Shimin was stunned, he suddenly remembered this unclear account. The emperor's old face suddenly turned dark. He married Concubine Yang, but Han Yue married Han Xiao. The father and son married two sisters. This generation is indeed a mess.

The little girl Han Xiao was also very shy, lowering her head like a chicken, rubbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, and her whole face was burning.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Whether it was the emperor, Yang Concubine or Han Xiao’s little girl, all three of them were disappointed and it was difficult to speak.

Changsun laughed, reached out and grabbed Han Xiaocong's white arm and wrist, took off a jade bracelet from his wrist, and joked: "This is a reward for you. The little girl is weird. She doesn't even care about etiquette for men. You should call me sister, but now you want to call me mother-in-law. Do you feel that it's a disadvantage?"

Han Xiao's face flushed, and his voice was like a mosquito and flies, saying, "My lady, don't want this. I have said a long time ago that the princess of Huainan of the Great Sui Dynasty is dead. When I drank the glass of wine you gave me, there was no Yang Lu in the world, only Han Xiao, who was born as a beggar."

Changsun raised his hand and pinched her nose, with a strong look of doting on his face. These daughters-in-law are all outstanding, and she doesn't feel as much as she is a mother-in-law.

Li Shimin suddenly said: "Everyone has something to say, the artillery soldiers over there have been loading, and I guess they will be yelling a salute. Tsk tsk, I have never seen the new cannon, and I don't know what its power is..."

The women stuck out their tongues, carefully covering their ears, and looked towards the army.

It was noon at daytime, and millions of troops gathered outside Xuanwu Gate, surrounded by countless people, officials, powerful families, and many envoys from various countries.

There were red-clothed cannons in the Tang Dynasty, and this was known to everyone in the world. Seeing the twenty-four cannons standing up to the sky, both the people and the court officials were waiting for it, and they wanted to see the power of the world-famous gods and magic weapons.

In front of the army, twenty-four etiquette artillery soldiers raised their heads and raised their chests. One of them shouted to Han Yue: "Report to the commander that the salute has been loaded. Should the salute be sounded twenty-four times to the sky be heard? Please ask the commander to decide."

Han Yue waved his hand slowly and said in a deep voice: "Call the cannon, salute me..."

The etiquette artillery made a loud promise and raised his hand to fire the artillery. At this moment, he suddenly saw a ox cart rushing out of the people in the moat. A farmer stood on the ox cart and frantically shook his whip. He shouted to the sky, whipping out of his mouth...
