Lu Chen didn't know about this "special case" controversy. Lu Chen was now focused on preparations for going to Gyeongju.
This time, Lu Chen was not going to lead his team to Qingzhou with great fanfare. Instead, he planned to leave a thousand back Weiwei reserves to look after the house, and the rest would be dispersed and enter Qingzhou City in batches.
As for this plan, after Lu Chen finished training the Beiwei guards in the back mountain yesterday, he called Su Dingfang into the study to discuss the matter.
"Master, why are you doing this?" When Su Dingfang heard that Lu Chen told him that he would personally lead troops to Qingzhou, Su Dingfang's first reaction was that his father-in-law was planning to attack Master Liang, and now he was not only given rifles As well as the terrifying "bazooka" he saw last night, as well as the "artillery" that Lu Chen in the workshop area has been asking the Xu family and his son and Liu Laosan to make, Su Dingfang also figured it out. They should all be his father-in-law. Prepared for the war against Liang Shidu.
After all, if he were just to protect Lujiazhuang, such terrible weapons should not be used. Moreover, the more he learned about these weapons, the more he understood that these things could be used in battles between two armies or in sieges. Above, they are all "big killers".
After seeing these "big killer weapons", Su Dingfang was lying in bed at night, even thinking that his father-in-law seemed to have no intention of going to court, but the things he prepared were definitely not for use in the Tang Dynasty. Obviously, His father-in-law's goal was definitely greater than those of the aristocratic families in the court. Su Dingfang couldn't help but feel a little excited every time he thought about being able to follow such a person.
Standing in front of Lu Chen at this time, after hearing Lu Chen's arrangements, Su Dingfang couldn't help but look at Lu Chen with some doubts. After all, in this era, there are few people who march in Lu Chen's way. Basically, they all have a neat lineup. , marching with flags fluttering, Su Dingfang still didn't react to Lu Chen's arrangement of dismantling more than 2,000 Beiwei guards and thousands of Qingzhou soldiers.
"The main force is naturally Her Royal Highness the Princess's Women's Army. Our Beiwei Guards must not be exposed at will. Moreover, I have no intention of letting everyone know when I lead the expedition this time!" Lu Chen looked at Su Dingfang and said.
"I understand!" Although Lu Chen didn't explain it clearly, Su Dingfang still thought of some reasons. However, since his father-in-law didn't say it, Su Dingfang didn't mention it either. He just carried out the arrangement.
"However, sir, I still want to ask you something!" Su Dingfang looked at Lu Chen and asked with a slight frown.
"Tell me!" Lu Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and at the same time motioned to Su Dingfang to tell him what he was confused about.
"My lord, we soldiers can all set out in pieces according to your arrangement, but what about the artillery at the arsenal?" Su Dingfang looked at Lu Chen and asked, after all, the troops can be broken into pieces, but the artillery is so It’s a big thing, how to transport it?
"I will also arrange this matter when the time comes!" Lu Chen said with a smile, "I will just keep it for you to see!"
"Since the Lord has made arrangements, I will have no problem! As for the matter of breaking it up into parts, I will inform the other commanders to arrange it together!" Su Dingfang said after standing up and saluting Lu Chen.
"Yeah! Let's do it like this!" Lu Chen nodded and signaled Su Dingfang to make arrangements. Su Dingfang turned around and left the study.
After Lu Chen had breakfast, he briefly recalled his discussion with Su Dingfang yesterday, and then went to the cross-yard where Sun Simiao was. Lu Chen still had to make arrangements for his promise to Li Shimin. When Lu Chen came to Sun Simiao, he found that There are a few more little old men in Sun Simiao's courtyard.
Seeing Lu Chen walking in from the moon gate across the courtyard, several young old men who were close to Sun Simiao quickly stood up to greet Lu Chen.
"Daozhang Sun, who are these?" Lu Chen looked at Sun Simiao with a confused look on his face as he looked at the few men with gray beards who stood up to salute him.
"Oh! These are all incompetent disciples!" Sun Simiao introduced casually. Although he said that these little old men were incompetent, the expressions on his face did not look like he was interested in these few disciples. People are not satisfied.
"My dear, Meng Shen, I have met the father-in-law!"
"My Excellency, Li Chen, I have met the father-in-law!"
"My dear, Wang Liu, I have met the father-in-law!"
They were said to be a few young old men, but in fact, there were only three people who greeted Lu Chen and announced their family status. As for the people around them, they should be their long-term followers. They have been following for a long time, and their beards have turned gray.
"Meng Shen, Li Chen, Wang Liu!" Lu Chen was shocked when he heard the names of these people. Regardless of the other two, the most famous among Sun Simiao's disciples must be Meng Shen.
Meng Shen, the founder of Mengyutang in Ruzhou, the thirty-first generation descendant of Mencius, is the originator and founder of dietary therapy in the world. His book "Dietotherapeutic Materia Medica" has been infinitely sought after by countless dietary therapists in later generations. Writings.
"Turns out he is Taoist Master Sun's disciple. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Lu Chen hurriedly returned the greeting to the three of them, "Have your accommodations been arranged?" Lu Chen didn't ask Meng Shen and the others, but the people around him. Liu Jing.
"This..." When Lu Chen asked, Liu Jing scratched his head and looked confused. Obviously Liu Jing didn't know about this.
"It's no use asking you!" Lu Chen glared at Liu Jing directly, and Liu Jing chuckled and shrank his neck.
"Manager Su has already arranged the residences of the three of them!" Seeing Liu Jing's appearance, Sun Simiao directly stroked his beard and helped Liu Jing with a smile.
"Since Su Chang has made arrangements, I won't ask any more questions. If you have any needs, you can ask Su Chang!" Lu Chen said to Meng Shen and others with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, sir!" Several people saluted Lu Chen and thanked him. "Manager Su has arranged everything well!" Meng Shen said on behalf of the others. After all, he was the senior brother.
"That's the best!" Lu Chen nodded.
"I wonder why the Lord is here?" Sun Simiao looked at Lu Chen and asked. After all, if there is nothing to do, Lu Chen usually won't come to see him recently. Lu Chen must have something to say when he comes here to see him.
"It just so happens that several of Taoist Master Sun's disciples are here, so I have to leave this matter to you. Naturally, I came here to look for Taoist Master Sun because of the 'qi disease' I mentioned to you last time!" Lu Chen sat directly on the stool opposite Sun Simiao, looked at Sun Simiao and said.
"To be honest, sir, when you came just now, Pindao was also discussing this matter with these scoundrels. In recent days, we have also been discussing this matter. Unfortunately, even with your mentor's medical books as a reference, Still have no clue!" After hearing Lu Chen's words, Sun Simiao shook his head helplessly. Being able to let the King of Medicine say such words shows how troublesome this disease makes Sun Simiao feel, and how much frustration he feels.
"Taoist Priest, tell me, this medicine can be applied externally or internally. Is there any possibility that this medicine can also be applied directly to the affected area?" Lu Chen suggested while looking at Sun Simiao.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, not only Sun Simiao, but also Sun Simiao's three disciples fell into deep thought, obviously thinking about the feasibility of Lu Chen's suggestion.
"My lord, you mean to make the medicine into powder and inhale it directly?" During some tea time, Sun Simiao suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"Yes! Is it feasible?" Lu Chen looked at Sun Simiao and continued to ask.
"I have never tried it, but I think it should be possible!" Sun Simiao nodded slightly, "However, if this is the case, clinical trials are still needed!" Sun Simiao looked at Lu Chen and said solemnly.
"This is natural. As for the way of medicine, it is natural for the Taoist priest to make the decision!" Lu Chen nodded.
At this moment, Su Chang walked in quickly from outside the moon gate across the courtyard.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Su Chang walking in hurriedly, Lu Chen looked at Su Chang and asked.
"My lord, the servant Lin is here with the imperial edict!" Su Chang said after saluting Lu Chen.
"Huh?" When Su Chang said that Lin Lang had come with the edict, Lu Chen was slightly startled. Why did Li Yuan issue another edict for no reason? However, Lu Chen was confused and confused. He should still accept the edict. .
Lu Chen stood up, said goodbye to Sun Simiao and others, and left Sun Simiao's courtyard. He left the master and disciples to continue thinking about the "qi disease", while he took people to greet Lin Lang outside the mansion.
"Attendant Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still look good!" Looking at Lin Lang with the edict, Lu Chen saluted Lin Lang and smiled.
"Thanks to you, our family is living a good life these days!" Lin Lang responded to Lu Chen and said, "Our family is here to congratulate Mr. Lu County. I'm afraid that after a while, our family will call Mr. Lu's consort!"
"I wonder what your Majesty's decree is?" Lu Chen waved his hand with a smile, then looked directly at Lin Lang and asked.
"My family doesn't know either, but after the morning session today, Governor Chang ordered me to come over and announce the decree! Then, sir, let's take the decree!" Lin Lang looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile.
While Lu Chen was talking, Su Chang and others had already prepared a number of items. After all, Lin Lang came to Lujiazhuang to announce his decrees more than once or twice. If nothing else, the villagers in Lujiazhuang would still see something novel at first. , but this thing has been going on for a long time. When those bankers saw Lin Lang bringing people to announce the decree again this morning, they just took a look and no longer cared.
As for Su Chang and others, they were all familiar with receiving orders. While Lu Chen and Lin Lang were talking, they had already prepared all the items.
Seeing that everything was ready, Lin Lang opened the edict directly without any ink, and then said loudly: "Mr. Chang'an County, Lu Chen, accept the edict!"
Lu Chen naturally responded cooperatively: "Your Majesty, Duke of Chang'an County, Lu Chen, accept the order!"
After hearing the content of the decree read by Lin Lang, Lu Chen finally knew what the decree meant.
