The emperor personally visited the camp outside the capital, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and made them train even harder.
But when everyone saw the woman standing next to Shen Yunxiao, they couldn't help but feel curious.
There were very few women who came to the camp outside Beijing, and everyone knew their names, such as Hua Xue Ning.
But the woman in front of them looked very unfamiliar to them, but she looked natural, gentle and quiet. In their words, she was very beautiful, even prettier than Hua Xue Ning.
Of course, they didn't dare say this in front of Hua Xue Ning for fear of being beaten.
Seeing General Hua ask this, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Jinyue.
Lu Jinyue calmly performed a junior salute and said in a neither arrogant nor humble manner, "Yes, General Hua, this is called a crossbow. It's a significant improvement on the bow and arrow. It can fire three arrows simultaneously. It's also lightweight and compact, making it very suitable for soldiers to use when carrying out missions. It's much more convenient than ordinary bows and arrows."
Lu Jinyue's voice was as light as a clear spring, and like a spring breeze blowing into everyone's hearts.
Hua Xue Ning raised her chin slightly with pride, and took General Hua's arm with great pride.
General Hua had already witnessed the exquisiteness of the crossbow. Seeing that the young woman in front of him was not timid or afraid when facing him, he felt a little admiration for her in his heart.
He had fought on the battlefield for decades and had killed at least thousands of enemies. He was filled with a murderous aura and a single look could scare people. Others generally did not dare to approach him, but this woman, who was about the same age as his daughter, was so calm in front of him.
And her surname is Lu, so she is the daughter of the Lu family?
General Hua invited several people into the general tent to isolate them from the curious gazes.
This was Lu Jinyue's first time here. Eighteen kinds of weapons were placed on both sides of the tent, and each one looked extremely sharp. On the shelf next to the table hung a set of armor, which was a bit worn. Several red stitching threads passed under the armor and connected to the breastplate.
Lu Jinyue looked around and sat on the stool with Hua Xuening.
"It's your first time here. Let me tell you, it's fun here! I often compete with those guys outside, and some of them can't even beat me!" Hua Xue Ning proudly puffed out her chest, put one leg on the stool next to her, and sat with her elbows on her knees in a very heroic posture.
General Hua simply couldn't bear to watch. What kind of girl from a good family would sit or stand like this without any proper manners?
It would be fine if it happened in front of my family, but the emperor is still here!
He winked at his daughter several times until his eyes almost cramped, but she didn't understand at all.
General Hua was both angry and anxious, but he couldn't lose his temper on the spot. He was so angry that he turned his head away and didn't want to look at his upset daughter.
"Who says women are inferior to men? General Hua is so heroic and brave, he will surely terrify the enemy on the battlefield!" Seeing her letting herself go in front of him, Lu Jinyue also took the opportunity to praise her.
This made the person feel shy. He consciously put down his legs, took back the hand on her shoulder, and coughed twice unnaturally.
"Jinyue, you said it very well! If you have the chance, next time you go to the battlefield, you must see my heroic figure!" Hua Xue Ning slapped Lu Jinyue on the back with a red face.
If Lu Jinyue was still the same Lu Jinyue, she would definitely be knocked to the ground, but now she has taken a powerful pill, so no one can do anything to her.
If this crossbow can be mass-produced and put into service in the army, the national strength will surely be greatly strengthened.
This time, General Hua looked at Lu Jinyue with excitement in his eyes, and he almost lost the composure that an old senior should have.
"Okay, old general, I can bring the blueprint today." Lu Jinyue took out a blueprint from her arms and handed it to Eunuch Ma.
Eunuch Ma took it and placed it on the table in front of Shen Yunxiao.
The drawing was drawn on sheepskin using special ink. Even if it fell into water, it would not dissolve and was easy to preserve.
At this moment, Hua Wuyang and Hua Xuening stood up together and leaned towards the table unconsciously.
The originally small table was now surrounded by people. Everyone's eyes flashed as they looked at the blueprint, and they didn't even notice when Lu Jinyue left.
Although the tent was clean, it was still filled with the stench of sweat. She felt uncomfortable with the smell and came out to get some fresh air.
By the time Shen Yunxiao found her, she had already finished walking around and returned here.
"This drawing is really exquisite, Ayue. I have kept in mind everything you did for the Da Rui Dynasty." He looked at Lu Jinyue with gentle and focused eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
“The emperor can prove it with actual actions, such as making me the queen.” After being with Shen Yunxiao for so long, Lu Jinyue’s jokes with him have become more and more outrageous, but Shen Yunxiao doesn’t care much.
That's exactly what he meant.
The next day in the court, he announced to the court officials that he wanted to make Lu Jinyue the queen, but was opposed by the masses.
"Ms. Lu was previously a wife of the Ye family, and she abandoned her family and husband for glory. Her virtue is unworthy of her position, and her behavior is also immoral. Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"You cannot marry the wife of a guilty minister, and you cannot take someone else's wife!"
"Lu has been married into the Ye family for many years, but has never given birth to a child for the Ye family. This clearly violates the seven grounds for divorce! How can such a woman be the queen?" The ministers knelt down and asked Shen Yunxiao to rescind his decision.
Shen Yunxiao, sitting on the dragon throne, had a cold and handsome face, and his dark eyes were full of coldness and alienation.
He didn't know that in their hearts, Lu Jinyue had become a vain woman who abandoned her family and husband in order to enter the palace and enjoy wealth and glory. His hands on the armrest gradually tightened.
The one who raised the question was the old minister who was determined to commit suicide by hitting the pillar last time. After recuperation, he is now able to attend court.
Last time, he urged Shen Yunxiao to take a wife, and this time he asked Shen Yunxiao to take back his decision. Either way, he wanted to go against Shen Yunxiao.
The old minister had a stern face and spoke in an aggressive tone, saying that if Chen Yunxiao did not withdraw his order, he would die!
"Please do as you please, Censor Xiao!" Shen Yunxiao would never indulge him, otherwise everyone would follow suit, and then what he said as the emperor would no longer be counted.
Now it was Censor Xiao's turn to hesitate. The last time he hit his head against the pillar, he didn't die, but he had to lie in bed for more than a month and was almost moldy. His old bones could not withstand any more hardship.
"So what if she's from the Ye family? She's mine now! Ordinary women can remarry, so why can't she? Didn't you all persuade me to take a concubine? She's the one." A hint of coldness flashed across Shen Yunxiao's clear eyes as he quietly looked at the civil and military officials below.
The minister wanted to say something else when he saw Shen Yunxiao stretch out his hand to the side, and Eunuch Ma handed over the crossbow at the right time.
The ministers didn't know what this was. They only saw Shen Yunxiao slowly install three arrows, raise the crossbow, and aim the three sharp arrows downwards.
Everyone fell silent. Although they didn't know what it was, they could recognize an arrow.
Without saying a word, Shen Yunxiao pressed the mechanism, and three arrows flew over the ministers' hats at a low altitude with the force of thunder and nailed directly into the door!
