Luo Zhang was not at the Luo Mansion's banquet. He just asked Haizi to say hello to everyone and said that His Majesty called him to go to the palace, so he hurriedly left Luo Mansion and headed towards the palace.
In the hall, Cheng Yaojin and others were a little puzzled when they heard that Luo Zhang went to the palace.
"Why did your Majesty call Luo Zhang to the palace in the middle of the night? Did something happen again?" Li Ji asked doubtfully.
"It's not like you don't know His Majesty's favor for Luo Zhang. Maybe there is something difficult to handle. I would like to ask Luo Zhang what he thinks!" Niu Jinda followed.
"That's right, we can't compare with Luo Zhang. His head is not ordinary!" Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine and said.
"That's right, not to mention that wooden knot, but also that artillery, who can make it, let alone those offshore ships and long-sea ships he made!" Yuchi Jingde rarely had the same caliber as Cheng Yaojin.
"Why are you so worried? Didn't Luo Zhang say that we should eat and drink more and have enough wine and meat? Let's eat ours. He will be back soon!" Cheng Yaojin said carelessly.
"Hahaha, you want to take advantage of Luo Zhang's absence to drink more wine from him. But then again, he really doesn't drink enough wine. He just brings us two bottles every time. He's stingy!" Niu Jinda laughed loudly. smiled.
Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and others, who had been silent, also started laughing.
Luo Zhang's departure did not dampen their interest. After all, in Luo Zhang's house, whether it was food or wine, they were not available to eat or drink outside, so no one would want to leave.
At this time, Luo Zhang had also arrived outside the imperial city gate and asked people to report it.
He can wander around Chang'an City at will, even if there is a curfew, but this palace cannot. This is where His Majesty is. If he can wander around at will, if he encounters a concubine taking a bath or something, he will be cut off.
Without keeping Luo Zhang waiting for a long time, Eunuch Huang walked out. When he saw that Luo Zhang was here, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Why are you here, Mr. Luo, in the middle of the night? Did you just say that you have something important to see His Majesty?"
"Eunuch Huang, please don't be polite to me. Sir Luo, I don't dare to call you sir in front of you. Just call me Luo Zhang. Call me Master Luo, I'm so lucky!" Luo Zhang said with a wry smile.
"Hahaha, okay, then I'll call you Luo Zhang. Let's go. His Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study!" Eunuch Huang said happily.
It was a rule for him to call Luo Zhang "sir", but Luo Zhang didn't want to. This invisibly brought the relationship between the two closer, and also showed that Luo Zhang was not an ungrateful person, and he did not get carried away because of his soaring into the sky.
When Luo Zhang arrived at the imperial study, Li Shimin had just finished correcting the memorial and was resting there with a cup of Dahongpao.
Seeing Luo Zhang coming, Li Shimin put down his tea cup and said, "I came to the palace late at night. What do you want to do?"
Luo Zhang didn't say anything, but handed the silk cloth to Eunuch Huang, asking Eunuch Huang to show it to His Majesty.
Li Shimin became even more confused. He took the silk cloth handed over by Eunuch Huang and looked at it carefully.
After he finished reading what was written on the silk cloth, he couldn't help but patted the table and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the Royal Navy did not disappoint me. It wiped out thirty-five warships and annihilated all the enemies." By the count, one hundred and eighty enemies have been captured, and Changsun Wuji will probably be furious to death!"
"If he dares to sneak attack our Quanzhou Port, he will have to pay the price!!!"
Luo Zhang also laughed. When Eunuch Huang heard that it was a great victory for the Royal Navy, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty. Such a great victory is really inspiring!"
"Send this news to the people in Quanzhou Port so that they don't have to worry anymore. In addition..."
When Li Shimin said this, he turned to Luo Zhang and said, "Luo Zhang, what do you think of adding artillery pieces to each port?"
Luo Zhang was stunned. He didn't expect Li Shimin to mention this. Luo Zhang also had plans for this matter. After learning that Quanzhou Port was attacked, Luo Zhang had the idea of setting up artillery at the port.
If there are artillery set up in the port, let alone the sea, even if Japanese ships or ships from the big food country arrive, the port will not be unable to fight back, and can even beat them away.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is very good. I have also been thinking about it these days. The only problem is that it takes a long time to build the artillery. For the time being, I can only purchase one port and one port. In addition, transportation is also a troublesome matter. I plan to build it first, and when the Royal Navy comes back, I will let them be responsible for transporting it to various ports, which will be much faster!" Luo Zhang expressed his worries and thoughts.
