The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Hou Junji was very irritable.

Ever since he was forced to take on this task in Ganquan Palace, he hasn't had much rest.

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

But more than ten days have passed and nothing can be done.

Hou Junji even gave the craftsmen an ultimatum: if they could not solve the problem, they would all be executed.

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

Now Hou Junji is threatening to execute him, and many craftsmen panicked at that time.

He dragged his family and his family away from Chang'an City overnight.

In one night in the Arms Supervisor, not even a single person disappeared.

The weapons supervisor was reporting the news to Hou Jun in a panic.

…

Your Majesty, today someone from below came to report that the craftsmen from the Ordnance Supervision ran away overnight. The eunuch and the emperor reported the news from below.

Run away? The emperor's face turned gloomy at that time.

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

There are only three days left until half a month, and there is no news about bed crossbow. Have the craftsmen from the weapons supervisor run away?

That's right, Your Majesty, I heard that Chen Guogong ordered that if the craftsmen cannot solve the problem of bed crossbows, all the craftsmen 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 angrily, and shouted to the eunuchs beside him, Let Hou Jun come over and give me an explanation.

…

Hou Junji frowned upon hearing the news that the craftsmen had escaped.

He was not worried that the emperor would punish him for this matter.

If execution was just a threat, he, Hou Junji, did not actually execute it.

Even if the emperor blamed him, the most he could do was reprimand him.

But the bed crossbow matter is still unresolved.

Hou Junji was worried that the emperor would directly let Zhao Chen be in charge of the weapons supervision this time.

If that's the case

, all his hard work for the past half month was in vain.

Hou Junji was unwilling to do so.

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

But reality is always cruel. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of any solution.

If he couldn't give the emperor a reasonable explanation, the weapons supervisor would probably fall into Zhao Chen's hands.

Master, Your Majesty sent someone to announce that the master has entered the palace. Hou Junji was worried when he heard the voice of a servant from outside.

Hou Junji frowned. He had not yet figured out how to explain this to the emperor.

Just say that I am sick and cannot enter the palace. Hou Junji thought for a moment and said to the servant 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 in response. After waiting for a moment, until there was no movement outside, he opened the door of the study and walked towards the back door of his house.

…

Li Ruoshuang's belly could clearly see that she was pregnant.

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

Although Zhao Chen is also skilled in medicine, he really doesn't know much about women's pregnancy.

So it would be more reassuring to let Sun Simiao take a look.

In the past ten days or so, Zhao Chen has been living a comfortable life.

I would go to the academy every day, and when I had nothing to do, I would lie in my yard and bask in the sun.

But a free and easy one.

But this carefree and comfortable day 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 directly on it.

What are you doing? Zhao Chen didn't respond.

Should come over.

This is his Zhao Mansion, why did this guy steal his things so blatantly?

Old Huang!

Old Huang, where did you die? Zhao Chen and the concierge Lao Huang shouted.

It was very strange that Lao Huang, who had been playing with the cats and walking the dogs in the Zhao Mansion, was missing today.

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

The brows were tightly knitted together.

It seemed like he had been greatly wronged.

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

What are you doing here? Zhao Chen looked displeased.

You haven't been here for the past ten and a half days, and as soon as you came, you grabbed your spot.

It can’t be justified no matter what!

Find you something to do! The emperor sat up.

Arms Supervisor? Zhao Chen said casually.

How about it? Do you have any ideas? The emperor was not surprised at all.

I had asked Li Ke to come and talk to Zhao Chen about the weapon prison crossbow.

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

Zhao Chen could naturally easily guess his purpose.

Why, the bed crossbow problem has not been solved, so you came to me for help? Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with a smile.

Old Li Tou was a little surprised.

Before he came here, he was wondering if Zhao Chen would lose face with him if he talked about the bed crossbow with Zhao Chen again.

So he was prepared to be attacked by Zhao Chen.

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

In this way, we should be able to solve this easily today!

Yes, are you interested? If possible, I...

Not interested. Zhao Chen waved his hand to interrupt the emperor's unfinished words, and then continued.

I don't usually burn incense. If something happens, I will

Think of me?

Are you coming here empty-handed?

Even if I teach in the academy, students who are celebrating the holidays still know how to give some gifts or something.

You, Mr. Li, come in empty-handed every time. Is that appropriate?

Why, the emperor can use nothing but a white wolf?

I just want to...

Hey, don't ask me to supervise the Ordnance Supervision. The Ordnance Supervision is under the Ministry of War and is under the control of Hou Junji.

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

What does the emperor mean by this?

He just thought that the weapons supervisor's bed crossbow cost the treasury 500,000 yuan, so it couldn't be wasted like this.

Maybe Zhao Chen can go take a look and solve this problem?

If possible, it would be okay to squeeze more of Zhao Chen's abilities.

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

If he could come up with some tricks in the weapons inspection, wouldn't the strength of the Tang army be even stronger?

How could I have thought 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 half a million guan on the weapons supervisor's bed crossbow. If I can't solve this problem, the 500,000 guan will be wasted...

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

How could the emperor have so much money to give to Zhao Chen.

Money, money, money, you just know money, or what will you do with too much money?

If I can come up with so much money, what else do I need from you?

You have to go today. If you don't go, I will tie you up myself! the emperor said angrily.

He took out a rope from somewhere and rushed towards Zhao Chen.
