Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin's departing back, shook her head helplessly, but a smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
She looked down at the "little princess" in her arms and said softly, "Little Rangjun, look at you, you always make His Majesty very angry."
The "little princess" rubbed herself against Empress Changsun's arms and found a more comfortable position to lie down.
Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Empress Changsun, with a cunning glint in his eyes.
"Mother, I'm not angry with him. It's just that he's too narrow-minded to tolerate a great divine beast like me!"
"Little Princess" said in a baby voice with an innocent expression on her face.
Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing at Li Haoze's words.
She smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay, I know you're feeling wronged.
However, His Majesty does have something important to discuss with you. Could you please give him some face and listen to his thoughts?"
When Li Haoze heard Empress Changsun say this, he knew that she must have understood Li Shimin's thoughts.
He had no intention of refusing, so he nodded and said, "Alright, for my mother's sake, I'll listen to it reluctantly."
Empress Changsun was delighted when she saw the little divine beast agreed.
She carried the "little princess" to the side hall, where tea and snacks were prepared so they could eat and chat.
Not long after, Li Shimin calmed down and returned to the side hall.
He saw Empress Changsun and the "little princess" already sitting there waiting for him, so he walked over and sat opposite them.
"Little divine beast, what I said before may have been a bit harsh. I hope you don't mind." Li Shimin spoke first and apologized to Li Haoze.
Li Haoze glanced at Li Shimin and secretly criticized in his heart:
You always act like a fool, I won't forgive you so easily!
However, he did not show it on his face, but just nodded lightly as a response.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Empress Changsun quickly spoke to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, both of you should stop fighting.
Xiao Rang-jun has agreed to listen to your ideas, Erlang, just speak up."
Seeing this, Li Shimin quickly got to the point and told Li Haoze in detail about his plan to launch an expedition to Goguryeo, hoping that he could provide support in the form of treasure ships and siege weapons.
After listening to Li Shimin's plan, Li Haoze pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "A siege weapon, this is easy!"
"We do have a siege weapon here, called the 'Red Cannon'. It has immense power and a long range, and can easily destroy enemy walls and fortresses.
If it is used in the expedition to Goguryeo, it will surely make the Tang Dynasty men invincible and conquer all battles, and destroying Goguryeo will be as easy as taking something from a bag! "
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this. He had never expected that Li Haoze had such a powerful siege weapon in his hands. "Red Cannon? That's a rather impressive name."
"Little beast, can you tell me in detail what this red cannon is? How powerful is it? And how to use it?"
Li Haoze smiled slightly, nodded, and began to explain in detail: "The red cannon is a siege weapon that uses gunpowder explosion to generate power.
The gun body is made of fine iron, which is strong and heavy, ensuring the stability and accuracy of shooting.
The name "Red" comes from the fact that the gun barrel is often painted red to show its power and nobility.
He paused and continued, “The power of the Red Cannon mainly comes from the huge impact force generated when the gunpowder explodes.
When the gunpowder ignites in the barrel, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated instantly will push the shell out of the muzzle at an astonishing speed, causing huge damage when it hits the target.
Its range far exceeds any existing bows and catapults, and it can deliver fatal blows to the enemy beyond their range."
“When using redcoat cannons, specialized artillerymen are needed to operate them.
They need to undergo rigorous training to ensure the speed and accuracy of loading gunpowder and shells.
On the battlefield, red cannons can be deployed at key locations to deliver precise strikes against enemy walls, fortresses, or other important targets.”
Li Shimin was fascinated by what he heard.
He imagined the Tang army equipped with red cannons and invincible on the battlefield.
I couldn’t help but ask anxiously: “Little beast, can this red cannon be made as soon as possible?
I am willing to invest a lot of manpower and material resources for this!"
"Well..." The "little princess" lay in the arms of Empress Zhangsun behind her, crossed her legs, spread her little hands, and said with a smile.
"Making a red cannon is no easy task. It not only requires a lot of manpower and resources, but also takes time.
However, if you, the Emperor, are willing to invest a bit, I might be able to find a way to speed up the process~."
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.
Of course he understood that the little beast was taking the opportunity to ask for benefits.
But he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, rich as a behemoth. How could he be afraid of being blackmailed by a small beast?
Then, Li Shimin laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, little beast, just ask. As long as I can do it, I will not hesitate to help you!"
"Really?" The "little princess" eyes suddenly lit up. "As the saying goes, the throne takes turns. Next year it will be my turn!"
"Old Emperor, I have been coveting your throne for a long time. Please abdicate immediately and let someone more capable take the throne!"
When these words were spoken, not only Wu Shun'er was shocked, but Empress Changsun was also shocked.
Li Shimin widened his eyes like copper bells in disbelief, and his face turned ashen in an instant.
He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Little beast, don't go too far!
How can the emperor's throne be treated as a joke? How can anyone sit on it casually? "
Empress Changsun was frightened by Li Shimin's reaction. She hurriedly hugged the "little princess" tightly, fearing that Li Shimin would really take action.
However, the "little princess" was not afraid at all, and still looked at Li Shimin with a smile, "Old Emperor, are you angry?"
"Oh, you are too stingy, what do you mean.
Who just said, "As long as it's possible, I won't be stingy?"
Li Shimin was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he was speechless.
He did say that just now.
But I didn't expect that this little divine beast would be so shameless as to make such an incredible request.
He glared at the "little princess". Although he was extremely angry, he knew that he couldn't really take action.
After all, the person in front of him was his most beloved little Sizi.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Empress Zhangsun quickly stepped in to mediate: "Erlang, the young prince is just a child and doesn't understand things. Don't argue with him."
As she spoke, she gently patted the "little princess" on the back and said, "Little Nosy, stop making trouble and apologize to His Majesty."
"Don't even think about it!" The "little princess" turned her head away with a stubborn look, "I don't want to apologize, I didn't say anything wrong.
The throne is open to everyone, I'm just expressing my thoughts."
When Li Shimin heard this, he became even more furious.
